Speaking on "Architecture and the Intellectual and Technical World," Condit stressed the archi- tect's role in interpreting and finding stability in the twentieth century in the media of the "most public of all arts." The modern tendency to reduce form to the basic structural re- quirements and then add extrava- gant detail to satisfy the materi- alism and pride of modern cul- ture, makes art serve technique rather than technique serving art. Seek Stability Condit feels that modern art- ists seek the obvious stability of terials, reduces the building to its structural constituents and also reduces visual pleasure until it is exhausted in one glance. Mass Culture The construction and details of this basic structure makes the early traditional architecture shallow by comparison, but it is a SGC Views Membership Requirement By ROBERT FARRELL Membership provisions of the Student Government Council plan and the advisibility of changing them were subjects of discussion at 'the Council meeting Wednesday. Holding the first discussion on a proposal submitted by Inter- quadrangle Council President Bor- en Chertkov, '60, the Council con- sidered possible improvements in the internal structure and effici- ency. Proposal Explained Chertkov's proposal provided for the addition of more members from the ex-officio organizations and the reduction of the number of elected members. However, Chertkov said that he wanted the proposal to serve as a basis of dis- cussion of the whole area of pos- sible improvements. In his rationale, Chertkov said that his system would provide good representation since Panhellenic, Assembly, the Interfraternity Council and IQC all represented large groups of students. Also, he added, the system would provide members with more ex- perience because the ex-officios would have worked their ways up through their organizations. The proposal would also give AC, nSG rcir 1 -r - The Michigan Academy of Sci- ence, Arts, and Letters yesterday received for consideration two resolutions bearing on Michigan high school education. The Council will decide whether to recommend the resolutions at the Academy's business meeting tomorrow. Ask Requirement In an attempt to encourage "sound intellectual growth in high school students who will continue on into college," one resolution Admit N"Sew Members The local chapter of Pi Sigma Alpha, national political science honorary fraternity, held its ini- tiation banquet at the League last night.

The prospective college student would need to take four years of English (two years of English composition with a theme a week required), two years of history, one year of American govern- ment, four years of one foreign language, four years of mathe- matics, and three years of science. The other resolution recom- mends that the Bureau of School Services be continued as a part of the University, rather than being transferred to the State Department of Public Instruction. The resolutions are being pre- sented by Prof. Ralph W. Lewis of Michigan State Unviersity, Attend Meeting An estimated 1,000 persons are attending the annual meeting of the Academy.
