THE MICHIGAN DAILY" THURSDAY, MAY 2 THE MICHIGAN DAILY THURSDAY, MAY ~ 1 Prof ile: S ue Kennedy Eight 'U' Distinguished Professor Posts Remain Empty 0~ By PAT GOLDEN Acting Associate City Editor "The whole campus has become more serious-more academic and pdlitical - just since I've been here," Women's League President Susan Kennedy remarked as she picked up a napkin covered with physics equations. "People don't come to the League snack bar to kill time any- more. If they're studying at the Undergrad they haven't time to walk all the way over here for a cup of coffee. Most of the people here right now are graduate stu- dents from this neighborhood." The tall, slim brunette from Bloomfield Hills glanced at sev- eral tables where students were busy reading and scribbling on napkins, and said the League has noticed this academic trend even in its tradition activities. "I'm convinced that we still have a function to fulfill, but we'll have to readjust. 'Collegiate Activities' "This campus no longer goes all-out for huge 'collegiate' ac- tivities like Homecoming or even tract the majority of women stu- dents for such activities." She confessed that for a time she had considered some of the traditional activities "a bit Mickey Mouse." But after working close- ly with the people involved in them for a year, she said, "Then I realized they were sincere and important interests, too. The League must serve these special projects. At mammoth universi- ties it's too easy for us to lose track of students who function best in small groups. We can put their activity and energy to work here." Sorority Member Twenty-one years old, Sue is a member of Gamma Phi Beta sor- ority and honoraries Alpha Lamb- da Delta, Scroll, Phi Kappa Phi and Tau Sigma Delta (for archi- tecture and allied arts students). She also achieved freshman and junior honors. An art major, she hoped to set up an arts and crafts room at the League for individual use. Al- though unable to carry this out during her term, she is now draw- ing up plans for the room as a personal project. "Even if they never use the idea, it's fun to plan it. I'll submit the drawing and suggestions and see what hap- pens." Prior to becoming League presi- dent, Sue had worked only on the League's class projects. The organization does not have a lead- ership training program 'or re- quire a "four-year commitment." One Project "A girl may participate in one project and then move directly in- to the student administration. There are always new people around with fresh ideas." With her enthusiasm not-quite hidden by a quiet voice and re- served manner, Sue continued, "I was kind of glad I came into of- fice without preconceived notions about running the League, even though it was extra hard at first to learn how things operated. I like things that present an extra challenge." This June, Sue will go to New York to "knock on doors at ad- vertising agencies. No appoint-, ments, no connections-I want to see if I can land a job completely on my own." Spirit of Adventure Her spirit of adventure and de- termination have been fostered by the University's challenges to stu- dent maturity, she declared. "I didn't realize how advanced we were until I began attending con- ferences at other schools. The oth- er delegates just couldn't under- stand how the League operates. "SOC is a good example-I am really proud of the maturity the Council shows. It's too bad that ex-officios are so busy they can't' devote more time to the problems before SGC, but it certainly is a valuable experience for us." With a frown of concern she talked about the danger of get- ting immersed in an organization and losing perspective. "SGC forces the League to put our work into the context of the Univer- sity, and also to put the Univer- sity into a larger context." New Attempt Sue pointed out the League's new attempt to give students a concept of the University through Women's Senate. "Senate is bring- ing a different type of girl into the League. Its concern for the University's problems is indicative of our increased awareness and ~asponsibility as students." Sue envisions Assembly Associa- tion and Panhellenic Association working with the League to fur- ther unify women's student gov- ernment. "In the past two years there has been a misconception about the League's active members. This isn't a sorority tryout program or a sorority girls' organization. It just happens that for a year or two we have had more affiliates working. But the League changes so quickly that this is not at all indicative of a lasting trend." Sue's favorite expression, which her roommate claims creeps into everything she says is "well, that's out of the question." Strangely enough, it's an expression she nev- er applies to herself. Her own re- action to anything new is always to plunge right in, regardless of the difficulties. (Continued from Page 1) he is an active member of the faculty.

The play will continue through June 18. Performances of all plays will be held at 8:30 p.m. with two performances on Satur- day nights at 7 and 10 p.m. Don Ameche in "Holiday for Lovers" will open on June 20 and run through June 25. This will be followed by "Carousel," starring Dorothy Collins, from June 27 to July 2. From July 4-9 the playhouse will present "Oklahoma," the cast to be announced later.

Serves as Salary The professorships would be es- tablished using the income from the fund as salary, although in some cases the principle would al- so be used for that purpose. In recent years funds have been given whose income and principle are to be used for a given length of time, usually 10 to 15 years. This is not a bad arrangement because changes can be made dur- ing and after this period. Referringto the value of the positions, Niehuss said, "I think the return makes it worthwhile to establish more of them. The Uni- versity gains prestige for recog- nizing a distinguished educator, and a person holding one of these posts is less apt to leave us. The posts have also been used to bring people here from other schools." Same Duties Niehuss emphasized that the professors carry on all the du- ties of a regular professor, al- though they usually teach only graduate students. "Although there is no automatic increase in salary one has always been given." Looking into the future of the positions Niehuss noted that the various schools and colleges have shown an increased amount of in- terest in them recently.

He also predicted that the posi- tions would soon be in the process of re-examination, probably by a Senate committee. "The possibili- ty exists that more of them will be created." "Some schools have so many dis- tinguished professors that it is almost distinguished not to be one," he continued. Only One Remaining Prof. Thomas Francis, Jr. of the public health school is the only remaining distinguished professor of the nine originally appointed. He is the Henry Seawall Univer- sity Professor of Epidemiology.

Iy ai "KX~ Because of its unique properties a computer can aid the physician in making his final diagnosis, Dr. Robert S. Lederley, president of the National Biomedical Research Foundation, said recently. In a talk featured in the com- puter appreciation lecture series, Dr. Lederley explained some ap- plications of computers in diag- nosing disease. For a given list of symptoms a computer can find a list of pos- sible diagnoses and from this in- formation recommend further diagnostic tests, he said. Calculate Success Computers can calculate the probabilities of success for vari- ous forms of treatment and com- pile useful statistical data. Once a computer has been fed informa- tion on a patient's medical his- tory, it can retrieve pertinent data for the physician. After a computer had been fed information on the patient's med- ical case history and symptoms, it logically eliminates possible dis- eases until it obtains a list cor- responding to the symptoms and case history, he said. On the basis of the symptoms it indicates further diagnostic tests which might be administered, Dr. Lederley explained. It can calcu- late the probabilities that a pa- tient has a particular disease or that a proposed plan of treatment will be successful. Relative Values However, a computer can only be useful in calculating the rela- tive values to the patient of vari- ous'treatments for a given disease. A computer might recommend amputation as a possible treat- ment for a patient's broken arm, but such a plan would have little value for the injured person, he said. Setting the break is a better treatment. Leach To Speak On 'Lord Buddha' The - anthropology department wil sponsor a lecture on "Pulleyar and the Lord Buddha-An Aspect of Religious-Syncretism in Ceylon" at 4:10 p.m. today-in Aud. A. Prof. Edmund R. Leach of St. John's College in Cambridge will deliver the lecture. In more complex cases the computer would use statistics to decide among various treatments by calculating probable degree of success. In searching for a treatment, a computer makes a diagnosis by deduction rather than induction. It applies its general store of data to specified symptoms rather than trying to mold particular symp- toms into a specific diagnosis. Peace Corps 'To Send Men To Colombia By ELLEN SILVERMAN The first Peace Corps program undertaken in conjunction with a private agency will send sixty- four male volunteers to Colombia in June. The Latin American program of the Peace Corps will entail a project co-sponsored by the Co- lombian government's community development department in col- laboration with the United States' private voluntary agency, CARE. Peace Corps members will work with trained Colombian counter- parts in village activities. Officials contemplate sending. work teams of Colombians and Americans to villages in the provinces of Cun- dinmarca, Caldas, Valle, Tolima and Antioquia. Training Course It is proposed that the volun- teers arrive in Colombia after com- pleting a two month training course at a United States univer- sity not yet designated. After this, another training program of one month will be given in Colom- bia and the volunteers will then be assigned to villages. CARE will have the responsibil- ity of educating the Peace Corps volunteers in both the United States and Colombia..It will also donate $100,000 worth of tools and equipment to the program, which. is scheduled to last two years. Selected by CARE The sixty-four volunteers will be jointly selected by CARE and the Peace Corps from applications reviewed by the Corps. Since the Colombian economy is primarily agricultural, the chief qualifications will be some knowl- edge of farm husbandry, construc- tion of farm buildings and a pro- ficiency in Spanish.

FORD AUD. - DETROIT Tickets - $3.50, 2.75, 1.75 Grinnell's, Downtown Detroit Mail Orders - Ford Aud., Detroit When Raymond Radiguet died in 1923 at the age of twenty, he was already famous as the author of several poems and two novels that the Oxford Companion declares are noted for their brilliant psychologi- cal analysis. It is the first of these, begun when he was only seventeen, and translated into film by Claude AutantLara that we will see this weekend. It tells the story of Radiguet's own teen-age love affair with an older woman, the wife of a soldier away at the front. Nat- urally, the book was denounced even more vigorously by profes- sional patriots than by moral- ists, whose sympathies might have been enlisted by Radi- guet's sensitive portrayal of two troubled people in an impossible situation. The poignant per- formances of Gerard Philipe and Micheline Presle help to make this an outstanding study of youthful doomed love. We can understand why literary France mourned the death of this precocious artist. Few contemporary American playwrights have had as sure a comic touch as the gifted Philip Barry. He was not generally satisfied to mine this vein and made many interesting-some persuasive - forays into the rarefied world of the fantastic. He knew the American upper cla .world, and only Edith make an explicit statement yet could never achieve a satisfac- tory formulation. His mystical" plays were an attempt to solve this dilemma; they have never received their due here, prob- ably because the theatre was as unready as the audience. He never found his material, among actors, designers, or di- rectors, which might have made a better impact-we can only say that this aspect of his tal- ent will go unrecognized in a country that is not yet con- scious of Strindberg. The Philadelphia Story is his least alloyed comedy and his best play. Katherine Hepburn, at a time when her Hollywood star appeared to be a cindering meteor, obtained the rights of the play, which was tailor- made for her. She plays a Main Line heiress who resents her father's philanderings and the alcoholism of her divorced and charming husband. About to undertake a. second marriage with a self-made man, she finds that her household is invaded by a story writer and 4 photog- rapher, who represent Spy mag- azine, a dim disguise for the Life-Time axis. The bronze cit- adel of chastity, as her father calls her, - warms up and even threatens to melt. Donald Og- den Stewart seemed a curious partner for Barry, but his adap- tation of the play made this a highly successful film, with :.. S.G.C.
