HONORS/ EDITION Y Sw uyrn :4aii4 HONORS EDITION SIX PAGES ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, MAY 12, 1961 SIX PA We Pause To Honor Historian Toynbee To Analyze Wes- The multiplexity that is the University grew out of a central core of inquiring scholars seeking to penetrate the dark recesses of the unknown. The academic tone of the campus is still the dominant one, but it is often submerged beneath others, transi- tory and less meaningful. To reaffirm its dedication to the academic ideal and honor outstanding scholastic achievement, the University holds yearly convocat on exercises. The formal congratulations presented at, Hill Auditorium this morning can be but small tribute to the students who have maintained the high academic tradition of the University. Today will climax a full college career of scholarship for many. It may be the beginning of the same for others and perhaps it may serve to spur those capable of outstanding scholarship to as yet unattained heights. Today also, for the ninth consecutive year, The Daily pre- sents its Honors Edition in recognition of both excellence in scholarship and extra-curricular activities. Every effort has been made to include the names of those who have distinguished themselves at the University over the past year. Space limitation, however, has nmade it impossible to include the members of all the many campus organizations. Thus only the officers of these organizations have been included in this supplement. The Daily staff congratulates the list of those to be honored today for a Job well done and an equally sincere wish for higher attainnents In the future. SGC Continues Work On Bias Elimination Requires Affiliate Organizations To Submit Membership Practices By JUDITH OPPENHEIM Student Government Council this year continued its work on elimination of racial and religious discrimination in student organi- zations.

May Recommend Action The committee, with student, faculty and administration mem- bers, will be in charge of receiving, investigating and recommending to SGC action on any complaints of discrimination it receives.

The mov- ie shows the student demonstra- tions in San Francisco last spring in protest against Committee hear- ings being held in the city. Commentary by members of the committee charges that the stu- dents taking part in the demon- stration were Communist - led dupes. View Film Twice The Council itself showed the film twice. The second showing, which will take place at 3:45 p.m. today in Multipurpose Room of Undergraduate Library, will be fol- lowed by a debate between Fulton Lewis III speaking in favor of the film and Council member Roger Seasonwein, '61, speaking against it. Council President Richard Nohl, '62 BAd, will moderate the debate. At its last meeting, the Council adopted an amendment by Per Hanson, '62, for reorganization of its administrative wing.

Toyn- bee's degree will laud him as an heir to the Hellenic tradition in his belief that history is a moral and philosophic science. The University will also confer a similar degree to Frederick G. Donner, the board chairman of the General Motors Corporation. He will be cited as a t'mirror of the modern industrial executive." Honor Clark, Lawton Regents Citations of Honor will go to Charles E. Frazer Clark, principal of Detroit's Mumford High School and James F. Lawton, co-composer of the University's fight song, "Varsity." Clark will be honored for quali- ties of leadership reflected in the lives of the students he has taught, counseled and advised. Lawton's citation emphasizes his dedication to the Unversity and "his love and understanding of hs fellow man." A graduate of Balliol College, Oxford, Toynbee was born n Lon- don on April 14, 1889. He served in the Politcal Intelligence De- partment of the British Foreign Office during World War I. and was a delegate to the Paris Peace Conference in 1946. Directs Foreign Research Toynbee was director of Foreign Research and Service at the Royal Institute of International Affairs between 1943 and 1946. He di- rected the Foreign Office's Re- search departmnent for the next three years. Toynbee held a post as research professor of international history at the University of London for a 30 year period beginning in 1925. Although his training was heav- ily steeped in studies of the classi- cal world, Toynbee has written on almost every historical subject. His books range from "Nationality and War" to "An Historians Ap- proach to Religion" and "The Western Question in Greece and. Turkey."

TOYNBEE. ... History as a system 'U Historians Probe Id e as Of Speakier By JUDITH.BLEIER "There are two great exponent of the cyclic theory of history ii recent times," Prof. Preston Slos son of the history departmen noted this week. "One is the German, Oswal Spengler, and the other is Arnol Toynbee," he said. Of the two, Prof. Slosson find Dr. Toynbee, who is appearin here today as guest lecturer at th Honors Convocation, "by far th, more interesting~ and reliable be cause he gives concrete facts an has a flowing literary style." Prof. Slosson feels, however, tha while Dr. Toynbee is full of excit ing and interesting suggestion; both he and Spengler err "in talk ing about civilization as if it wer an organic being." 'A Bunch oZ Habits' Actually, according to 'Pro Slosson, civilization is simply " bunch of habits, folkways and ac complishments, and these are sel dom all together forgotten. "Ancient Greece, for example, i very much alive today in our ow civilization," he explained. "I se civilization more as a continuot thing with occasional ups an downs, but not as a series of separ ate compartmented national civili zations." Profs. John Bowditch and Wil iam Willcox, both of the histor department, disagree with Di Toynbee's level of generalizatio in his approach to history. "While we admire his incredibl encyclopedic learning and are hon ored and delighted to have him a the University, I believe that fror historical data . he derives larg generalizations which are not en tirely valid," Prof. Wilcox said. No Better Person Prof. Bowditch noted that th University could have chosen n, better person than Dr. Toynbee fc guest speaker at the convocatioi He agrees in principle with D Toynbee that industrial prosperit can only be preserved by the ecc nomic organization of the worl into one unit. "This is sensible an as a long range prediction I woul say that it is likely to emerge, Prof. Bowditch said. "But I wouldn't say you coul generalize on the basis of ecc rnnmi,.., a lana 11thpa a AitiA distinguished SEASON OF EXTREMES: Michigan Teams Draw Cheers, Groans By CLIFF MARKS The past year in Michigan athletics was one of exultation and dejection; of fulfilment and disappointment; cheers and groans-all tied to triumph and defeat. Last spring, two pieces of championship silverware came to rest in Ann Arbor as the track and tennis teams continued to dom- inate the Big Ten. Gymnastics and indoor track (under the captain- cy of Tom Robinson) squads won championships this winter, with swimming and wrestling teams narrowly missing titles. Golf and baseball teams fell in the also-ran class last year, but are back in title contention this spring, along with track and tennis teams. The 1960 football squad surprised many people except hard work- ing Coach Bump Elliott and his staff, as sophomore quarterback Dave Glinka and a tough defense, led them to a 5-4 record and a fifth place :. r 7'.
