HONORS
EDITION
ANN ARBOR., MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, MAY 13, 1960
Congratulations
A community of scholars Is the ideal university community,
although often superior academic achievement is subjected to
lesser distinctions.
To compensate for this, the University will offer its formal
congratulations today to the hundreds of students who have
excelled in scholarship during the past year.
Yet the annual Honors Convocation can be but a small tribute
to the students who have maintained the high academic tradition
that is the University of Michigan's.
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, for the eighth consecutive year, The Daily presents
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 in the past year.
The Michigan Daily staff congratulates those to be honored
today for a job well done and wishes for them even higher attain-
ments in the future.
Discrimination Area
Considered by SGC
By JEAN SPENCER
Student Government Council this past school year has in several
major undertakings carried out its function as an administrative and
representative student government.
In its work to eliminate discrimination in student organiza-
tions and local stores, SGC has expressed sympathy with student
anti- discrimination movements seen nationally and internationally as
well as on a University level.
Pass Regulation
A major result of this work is the new University regulation on
restrictive membership practices in student organizations. Replacing
an old ruling which applied only to groups seeking recognition after
the establishment of the ruling in

Branstrom
Gives Award
For Frosh
By MIKE HARRAH
The William J. Branstrom
Freshman Prize has been instituted
this year to replace the annual
Oreon E. Scott awards.
"The University was forced to
find a replacement for the Scott
award because its endowment
lacked sufficient funds to continue
to cover the expenses," said Erich
Walter, assistant to the presi-
dent.
The Branstrom prize, like the
Scott prize before it, will be
awarded to the outstanding fresh-
A ward
Wiliam 3. Branstrom will
receive the University's Citation
of Honor at the Honors Convo-
cation today.
Branstrom is being honored
for the distinction he has gain-
ed for himself and his com-
munity "by his independent
spirit, by his belief in and his
love for his neighbor, and by
his uncommon ability to recog-
nize promise in men and in
situations."
Erich A. Walter will present
Branstrom to President Harlan
Hatcher who will present the
award for the Regents.
men of the current year. The
award is traditionally a book, with
the citation inscribed on the book-
plate inside.
Branstrom has provided suffici-
en tendowment to continue the
prize indefinitely on an annual
basis.
Branstrom lives in Fremont,
Michigan, where he practices law
and administers the FremontI
Foundation which he established.j
The Foundation arrangement for
art exhibits and concerts to betterI
the culutral opportunity of Fre-
mont, and also serves the com-
munity in helping those In need
of financial aid.
The Foundation has also set upr
a loan program for students, to
provide the necessary funds for
deserving but financially restricted
students to receive a full educ.a-
tion.
Branstrom earned his law degree
at the Illinois College of Law in
Chicago.
"A total of 246 freshmen will r(-
ceive the annual award this year"f

University Scholarships, announced
recently.

1949, the new regulation applies to
all recognized organizations and
says membership selection shall be
based on personal merit rather
than race, color, religion, creed,
national origin or ancestry.
The new ruling effectively. im-
plements a bylaw passed by the
Regents last November, which out-
lines University policy along the
same lines without specifying a
ruling.
Establish Committee
Equally important Is the Com-
mittee on Membership set up con-
currently to arbitrate cases in
which charges of bias are made.
The committee will include four
students and three members of the
faculty and administration.
It will gather and evaluate evi-
dence (including secret informa-
tion from fraternities and sorori-
ties), and recommend final action
to the Council. While the regula-
tion does not mention a time limit,
the committee presumably may
set one in cases of violation.
Support Picketing
In other action against discrim-
ination, SOC has supported local
picketing of branches of chain
stores whose southern branches
practice segregation, and of the
Cousins Shop, a local dress shop
which allegedly discriminates.
Letters-which received national
publicity-were sent asking the
chain stores to clarify their na-
tional policy and urging integra-
tion before the Council took ac-
tion.
Recently the Council asked re-
versal of the administrative deci-
sion to suspend two University
freshmen for their alleged leader-
ship of a food riot on the grounds
that the unprecedented penalty
was too harsh.
Among its routine functions,
SGC calendared all student-spon-

ANGELL HALL.--The home of the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts is one of the first buildings on campus to greet new and
old visitors as they arrive. Named after Prof. James B. Angell, president of the University from 1871 to 1909, the building was con-
structed in 1924. It houses administrative offices and classrooms.

operas, and mixed and male chor-

the composer's works have been
performed by the major orches-

League
Plants Year

that activities supplement aca-
demic work and are a necessary

cil has tried to schedule events
which would appeal' to many dif-
ferent types of individuals.
The League - sponsored activi-
ties included a revised Freshman
Orientation program, a Vocational
Guidance service, an appreciation
tea for the entire League staff, a
revamped Buro-Cats organization,
class projects such as Frosh Week-
end, Soph Show, Junior Girl's
Play, and Senior Night.
The officers of the Women's
League Council for the past year
were Katy Johnson, president;
Karol Buckner, internal vice-pres-
ident; Sue Moag, coordinating
vice-president; Carlene Miller,
class projects vice - president;
Karin Allen, finance vice-presi-
dent; Mary Wilcox, chairman of
the Interviewing and Nominating
Committee; and Cyra Greene,

Teams Win Four Big Ten Championships
By TOM WITECKI
Four teams-tennis, wrestling, track and swimming-won Big Ten
championship honors for Michigan during the past year.
However, the overall athletic picture was not as bright, with the
number one sport, football, suffering another losing season and the
number two sport, basketball, stumbling through its worst season in
history.
Going through the past year chronologically:'
The tennis team put on a terrific show of strength in rolling to
the Conference title at East Lansing last May. The Wolverine netters
won 66 of 68 sets, to win all six single titles and all three doubles
crowns-a feat that had been accomplished only once before in Big
Ten history.
Winning Netters Named
Jon Erickson, Gerry Dubie, Bob Sassone, Larry Zaitleff, Frank
Fulton, John Wiley and Wayne Peacock pulled off this amazing feat
under the direction of Coach Bill Murphy.
The track team under the direction of Coach Don Canham had
to settle for second in the Big Ten outdoor meet when its star
sprinter, Tom Robinson, was unable to compete and its chief com-
