Cat in

By RACHEL Stz K
One rainy day, two bored young~
children sat at home; it was too wet.
to play. Suddenly, a cat wearing a
tall striped hat walked into their
house - and into the lives of-
children everywhere.
That story is now 30 years old.
Toamost people h a ve n't
forgotten w h e n Dr. Seuss'
mischievous Cat in the Hat barged'
through the door to come out of the
rain. Against the wishes of a brave
goldfish, the Cat entertains the kids,
and destroys their house in the
process. Fortunately for the children,
the Cat restores the place in the nick
of time.
"It always made me nervous that
they (the kids) were going to get
caught, and I always thought, s--t!
They'd better get that house cleaned'
up! "' remembered Jessie Flynn, a
Residential College sophomore.
For LSA junior Ken Berman,
The Cat in the Hat is an innocent,
unbiased book because it presents
the sides of both the daring cat and
the frightened fish.
"The mother is like God,"
Berman said. "She is feared and
loved. The fish is caught up being
good, obeying rules and the system;
the cat has no regard for the laws;
and the kids are innocent by-
standers."
On a political level, Berman sees Doily Photo by KAREN HANDELMAN

Display celebrates roots
of state, Constitution
By JEFF HUGHES
An exhibition of historical
items, assembled to celebrate the
200th anniversaries of the U.S.
Constitution and the Northwest
Ordinance, opens today at Clements
Library and will last until the end of
the year.
The display includes the first
printed copy of the Constitution, a
hand-written letter from James
Madison to George Washington, and
an original Gilbert Stuart oil
painting of George Washington
valued at $3 million.
The grand opening of the display,
entitled "Liberty's Legacy," will
begin at 8:00 at Hale Auditorium
with a lecture by George
Washington University professors
Charlene Bickford and Kenneth
Bowling.
The project directors will
transport the display throughout the
Northwest Ordinance's territories of
1787 at six Big Ten universities.
The ordinance established rules of
governance and statehood in the
areas now encompassing Indiana,
Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin, and
Michigan.
Stuy: U.S.
aid steadies
b irth rates
By The Associated Press
Maternal deaths, abortions and
birth rates in developing nations
would soar if the United States
withdraws support for overseas fam-
ily planning services, a University
researcher said.
The study, prepared by Professor
Charles Hammerslough of the Uni-
versity's School of Public Health
was prepared in response to a possi-
ble Dec. 31 cutoff of federal money
for the Family Planning International
Assistance Program.
FPIA, the international branch of
the Planned Parenthood Federation of
America, currently works under con-
tract with the U.S. Agency for Inter-
national Development. The program
for 17 years has provided contracep-
tive services, supplies, training and
technical assistance to prevent preg-
nancies and promote the health of
women and children in 36 developing
nations.

Project director Frank Jones said
the show boasted record attendance at
the University of Indiana and Ohio
State University. 37,000 people saw
the display during its two month
stay at the University of Indiana's
Lilly Library. He expects the
turnout to be even larger in Ann
Arbor.
The Clements Library, along
with the Lilly Library, are the two
major contributors to the exhibition,
Jefferson's signature on a bill, well,
I've never seen anything like that
before," said Jones.
In past years, the federal
government set up a commission to
coordinate celebrations for the
anniversary of the Northwest
Ordinance's signing, said Jones. The
government wouldn't fund the
commission this year to save
money, Dann said, so Big Ten

'When you come see Thomas Jefferson's signature on a
bill, well, I've never seen anything like that before.'

said Jones.
John Dann, director of the
Clements Library, encouraged all
University students to see the
documents.
"It wouldn't surprise me if their
pulse didn't quicken a little bit," he
said. "It's almost hard to imagine
how priceless these things are."
"When you come see Thomas

the responsibility of directing the
celebration.
Bill Colburn, assistant executive
director of the University's alumni
association, said "Liberty's Legacy"

National Endowment for the
Humanities to help establish the
exhibit.

Kennedy to
face challenge
(Continued from Page 1)
"Being a Supreme Court judge is
different from any other kind of
judge, but it's helpful to have
appellate experience," said Schauer.
In 1980, Kennedy supported the
Navy's decision to automatically
discharge homosexuals, which has
since been changed. He did not,
however, question the existence of a
constitutional right to privacy as
rejected nominee Judge Robert Bork
did.
