Besides her first duty-that of
answering any and all queries that
occur in the minds of students
both new and experienced-Mrs.
Legg takes charge of setting up
tours of the University for inter-
ested groups.
She is also a notary public, of
special service to those voting by
absentee ballot at election time.
"It's largely a matter of know-
ing where to find out when I don't
know the answer," Mrs. Legg com-
mented regarding the necessity for
an outstanding memory in her
work.
Students with questions seem to
have this faculty as well - when
they don't know the answer-they
consult Mrs. Legg.
Mayor Creal
Favors Hiring
Handicapped
Ann Arbor Mayor Cecil O. Creal
has proclaimed next week as "Em-
ploy the Physically Handicapped
Week."
The action by the mayor is part
of an annual state and nationwide
campaign to attract employers to
the advantages of employing phy-
sically handicapped workers.
Creal and the Ann Arbor office
of the Michigan Employment Se-
curity Commission are working
with President Dwight D. Eisen-
hower's Committee on Employ-
ment of the Physically Handi-
capped.
The National Association of
Manufacturers and the AFL-CIO,
also taking part in the campaign,'
are currently developing plans to
employ handicapped workers on
industrial jobs.

Prof. Felheil
'Dr. Zhivag
"I wish that students were as
interested in some other things as
they are in this book," Prof. Mar-
vin Felheim of the English de-
partment told the 120 students at-
tending "A Discussion of Doctor
Zhivago" Monday at the Under-
graduate Library.
Although he said he was not
overly impressed with the book,
Prof. Felheim expressed concern
not at students' reading it for
their pleasure, but for reasons of
"social prestige."
His comments on the book were
contested by many of the students
present and he encouraged stu-
dents to attend the next discus-
sion of the book by Prof. Robert
Magidoff, who will present a dif-
ferent aspect of the novel.
Discuss Later
Prof. Magidoff will discuss the
book as an outgrowth of Paster-
nak's poetry.
The book is Pasternak's first
and only novel - not an entirely
successful venture, Prof. Felheim
noted. Pasternak employed a ro-
mantic style adapted from his
poetry, which is at this date for-
eign to the novel, he said.
Poetic symbols are difficult to
reconcile , to realistic episodes,
Prof. Felheim continued. While
the poet is concerned not so much
with his characters, but their sym-
bolic meaning, a novelist must be
concerned with drawing a good
biography of the central charac-
ter.
Not Successful
Prof. Felheim indicated that
perhaps Pasternak failed to do
this.
"About the only thing we know
about Zhivago's person is that he
has a turned-up nose. Ile is a
character more in the epic than
novel tradition," he said.
But while Zhivago himself
might be an epic type character,

m Discusses
0' in Speech
the book, Prof. Felhelm believes,
is not a successful epic type novel.
The book was a complex one
to begin with and the problems
involved in it were added to by a
poor translation and its philo-
sophical and religious implica-
tions.

To Discuss
Journalism
Prof. Carl Lindstrom of
journalism department will :
the Reading and Discussion se
nar today.
The topic of this seminar wil
"Journalism: Its Social Relat
ship." The seminar will be I
at 7:30 p.m. in the Undergradt
Library Honors Lounge.
The primary book for this se
nar is "Peril and Promise"
Gerald W. Johnson.

In fact, "I

simply didn't find
entertaining one,"
finished.

ASK HER-Mrs. Dorothy Legg is probably known to you, the
student, by the time you've spent a week on campus. She manages
the information desk in the lobby of the Administration Building.
If she can't answer your question, she'll tell you who can.

By JEAN SPENCER
The poised and charming young
womari who occupies the central
desk in the lobby of the Adminis-
tration Building is often one of the
first and last persons to come in
contact with University students.
"I like to welcome them and
send them home happy," Mrs.
Dorothy, Legg said, summing up
the philosophy underlying her
competent handling of a most de-
manding job: receptionist at the
Administration Building.
"Basically, it's a public relations
job," Mrs. Legg remarked, after

pausing to direct a harried stu-
dent to the Athletic Building.
She added that no receptionist
had been intended for the build-
ing, completed in 1948. Soon after,
its opening, however, it was real-
ized that a full time person could
be kept remarkably busy answer-
ing questions for puzzled students.
Mrs. Legg had "retired forever"
when the University persuaded her
to return to work. Her background
as a former University student,
employe and Ann Arbor resident
since 1931 amply qualify her for
her position.

FASTER, FASTER!
College enrollment continues to spiral upward. The need for
more classrooms and more teachers grows more desperate daily.
But classrooms, alas, do not spring up like mushrooms-nor
teachers like May flies. So what must we do while we build more
classrooms and train more teachers? We must get better use out
of the classrooms and teachers we now have. That's what we
must do..
This column, normally a vehicle of good-humored foolery,
will today forsake laughter to examine the crisis in higher
education. My sponsors, the makers of Philip Morris Cigarettes,
as bonny a bunch of tycoons as you will see in a month of Sun-
days, have given cheerful consent to this departure. Oh,
splendid chaps they are-the makers of Philip Morris, fond of
home, mother, porridge, the Constitution and country fiddling I
Twinkly and engaging they are, as full of joy, as brimming with
goodness, as loaded with felicity as the cigarettes they bring
you in two handy packages--the traditional soft pack and the
crushproof flip-top box.
How can we make better use of existing campus facilities? The
answer can be given in one word--peedup! Speed up the educa-
tional process-streamline courses. Eliminate frills. Sharpen.
Shorten. Quicken.

No Need to HOLD ON
Any Longer, Men!
J. B., Towne
OPENS TODAY

Following is a list of courses with suggested methods to speed
up each one.
PHYSICS-Eliminate slow neutrons.
PSYCHOLOGY LAB-Tilt the mazes downhill. The white
mice will run much faster.
ENGINEERING-Make slide rules half as long.
MUSIC -Change all tempos to allegro. (An added benefit
to be gained from this suggestion is that once you speed up
waltz time, campus proms will all be over by ten p.m. With
students going home so early, romance will languish and mar-
riage counsellors can be transferred to the Buildings and
Grounds Department. Also, houses now used for married
students can be returned to the School of Animal Husbandry.)
ALGEBRA-If X always equals twenty-four, much time-
consuming computation can be eliminated.
DENTISTRY-Skip baby teeth-they fall out anyhow.
POETRY-Amalgamate the classics. Like this:
Hail to thee blithe spirit
Shoot if you must this old gray head
