About 75,000 fans, 13,500 of them high school musicians, are expected to be on hand to see Coach Bump Elliott sic his Wolverines upon the West Coast Beavers. They will be out to snap a six-game losing string that extends back to last season. But the visitors and Coach Tommy Prothro 'aren't exactly fat on too many victories themselves.

Eisenhower yes- terday invoked the Taft-Hartley Law to stop the 87-day-old steel strike. The President invoked'procedures aimed at ending the walkout by a court injunction for an 80-day period. Eisenhower, in an executive order, said the strike, if per- mitted to continue, would "imperil the national health and safety." Eisenhower expressed profound regret that the steel in- dustry and striking union have failed to reach agreement through free collective bargaining. See No Hope He said he acted only after being advised by both sides that negotiations had broken down and that they saw no hope for an early voluntaryt 'U' To Hear State Bands By JEAi HARTWIG. r Band Day will be bigger, if not better, this year. Today 188 high school bands have journeyed to Ann Arbor to participate in the University's an- nual Band Day between the halves of the game with Oregon State this afternoon. Explaining that bands have come from as far away as Lud- ington and Gaylord, Prof. William . D. Revelli, director of University bands, praised the day for giving high school students a view of the r way University students live and of the campus itself, which they might never have the chance to see otherwise. Not To Lose Emphasizing that "We're not going to lose tomorrow," die called the football team "good boys" and urged patience since this is only their third game and a great many of them are sophomores. He called the band activity a "very fine American enterprise" and said it gave him a thrill to see, so. many happy youngsters, parents and friends. He pointed out that some bands get up at 3 a.m. for the concert and added that he bet they really slept well that night. Asked if there was any particu- lar reason for Band Day, Prof. Revelli said it started originally as "just an idea." He thinks it serves a purpose in developing a youngster's interest in music and providing a motivation for 'prac- tice. Features Twirlers He announced that twirlers will be featured in the pre-game show and that the Michigan Marching Band has planned a special rou- tine for the high school bands, al- though it will not perform at half- time. The huge group, biggest in the 11 years of Band Day existence, will be directed in "God of Our Fathers" and "America, the Beau- tiful,"by guest conductor Harold Walters, a Chicago composer and, arranger who arranged both scores. Prof. Revelli explained that Walters is used to directing massed bands, but that this is probably the largest group he has ever ex- perienced. "It will be quite startling to him, T imagine," he chuckled. SGC Petitions N0w Available At SAB Office Petitions for seats, on Student *once to sturdy Southern Cali- ' fornia, 27-6.

Bounce Back Michigan will. be attempting to recover from a, 34-8 licking it sustained last week from unfriend- ly neighbor Michigan State. Elliott calls Oregon State, the school where he first began his college coaching career, "tougher than Missouri." And the latter team ruined Elliott's debut as Wolverine head coach two weeks ago, 20-15. Despite Elliott's pessimism, the Wolverines have been installed a six-point favorite by the men with the form charts whose selections don't always border on the ra- tional. A rash of injuries and general ineffectiveness provide the impetus for a revamped Michigan lineup. Soph Promoted Breaking into the number one unit for the first time will be right tackle Jon Schopf. The burly soph- omore from Ottawa Hills has moved ahead of both Don Deskins and Wil Hildebrand. At 218 pounds, Schopf will be the heav- iest player in either starting line- up. Senior letterman Fred Julian has inherited the starting right halfback post vacated by Brad Myers. The latter is out for the season after receiving a knee in- jury in last week's game. The elevation of Julian to Myers' berth places three members of Detroit Pershing's 1956 City, High School championship club into the first unit. The other two are captain George Genyk, left, guard, and center Gerry Smith. There is a possibility that soph- omore scatback Bennie McRae may also be promoted to a start- ing team spot.

The bands, which have come from all over the state will play at half-time in today's game with Oregon State. Harold Walters, a Chicago composer and arranger, will direct the bands in "God of Our Fathers" and "America the Beautiful." The largest group to play in the 11 years of Band Day's existence, will be joined by twirlers featured in the pre-game show, for which the Michigan Marching Band organized a special routine. CLASSROOM HAS LIMITS: Report Shows Individual Study More Beneficial, By THOMAS HAYDEN The average college student can achieve more through independent study than his professors usually think, according to a report re- leased at the University yesterday. The study shows that students living on campus can probably gain more knowledge of course material by themselves than with teachers and classmates. No evidence was found to sup- port the traditional claim that only superior students are success- ful in independent study. Non-resident students with prior professional experience almost col- lapse academically when given in- dependent study, the report indi- cated. The findings were called a "probable breakthrough in our efforts to learn about 'the useful- ness of independent college study," by Thomas Parsons of the educa- tion school, one of three educa- tional, psychologists working on the project.' Prof. Warren Ketcham of the education school and Leslie Beach of Whitworth College (Spokane, Wash.) psychology department also aideq in the study. The researchers studied groups of students in a Saturday educa- tion school course attended largely by teachers not living on campus, and in a weekday sociology course attended by campus students. Students in each section were. randomly distributed into tradi- tional classroom situations and in- to independent study. Those in the Saturday section, composed mainly of practicing teachers, were interested only in the ideas which "they could read- ily see were concretely practicable or useful to them," Parsons said. Unless they saw the potential value of abstract material, they weren't interested, Parsons ex- plained. "They want credits for advance- ment, and any ideas which they think are applicable to their job work." "They were less often slaves to grades, as undergraduates usually are," he said. "They see things differently than they did before' entering professional teaching practice." Eventually Gain More -Students living on campus had some trouble adjusting to their independent study, Parsons poiited out, but they eventally gained CHICAGO (P)-- The Univer- sity of Chicago yesterday sup- plied some balm to Chicagoans who saw a world title snatched from White Sox reach by the Los Angeles Dodgers. - The university's tiddlywinks team took the world champion- ship by default.

Some students put off their independent study work because it didn't involve an unremitting schedule of class periods, he said. "But they did adjust to it and typically reported,"'this is the first time in my college career that I felt I was really working and learning for myself." Research Makes Myth "Usually teachers put so much emphasis on judging and grading students that we defeat' our objec- tive of trying to get them to take responsibility for their own. learn- ing and self-evaluation," he charged. He added that the research "makes something of a myth" of the honors college belief that only the brightest students are capable of working on their own. The Ford Foundation Fund for Advancement of Education spon- sored the research as part of a national drive to find ways to ac- commodate the rising numbers settlement. "Nevertheless," Eisenhower said in a statement, "I want to em- phasize that the action I have taken in no way relieves the par- ties of their grave obligation to the American people to resume negotiations and reach a just and responsiblesettlement at the ear- liest possible time." The President named -a three- man board of inquiry to hold a hearing on the strike issues and report back to the White House on or before Oct. 16, a weep from yesterday. Longer Period This is a longer period than it took a similar inquiry board to finish a report in the dock strike. That board completed its re- port in two days. The week-long period given the steel panel to report provides time for the panel members to try to mediate the steel dispute. Eisenhower named three skilled labor mediators to the steel in- quiry panel. They are: George W. Taylor, chairman, of Philadelphia, professor of in- dustry at the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, who formerly served as chairman of the . War Labor Board during World War II and of the Wage Stabilization Board during the Korean conflict. John Perkins, Newark, Del., president of the University of Del- aware since 1950, has served as assistant provost of the Univer- sity and as Michigan state comp- troller and budget director.. Paul N. Lehoczky of Columbus, Ohio, an, arbitrator in over 2,400 labor management disputes. Council, Cites Disonety WASHINGTON UP) - Some of the nation's top educators said yesterday that witheadults setting such a bad example it's small wonder so many college students cheat. Americans, they said, disregard traffic laws any time they, think they can get away with it. They think it's fine if an athlete can break the rules without getting caught. They are pretty good about paying their income taxes-- but, only because they're afraid of getting caught if they don't.- Cheating is so much a part of the whole social picture in the country, they said, that no one was really surprised to hear about the funny business in the big tele- vision quiz shows. The' subject of cheating, par- ticularly among college students, was debated at length during the annual meeting of thie American Council on Education. The Coun- cil represents 1,047 educational institutions. "There is a great deal of cheat- ing going on in our colleges and universities," 'Prof. Edward D. Eddy Jr., vice-president and pro- vost of the University of New Hampshire, told a discussion group. "It has become a part of the student culture - it's taken for granted." he added: "We find cheating particularly where there is a college-wide re- quirement, such as courses in hy- giene or ROTC. It's part of the student culture to take these courses, and also to get'out of them as easily as possible." No one disagreed publicly with Prof. Eddy on the extent of cheat- ing by college students. In fact, some of his strongest support came from students in the audi- ence. Reds Oppose Disarmament Control Study UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.
