Hilty Declares Students Must C hoos e Plan, All Proposals Provided For Student Jurisdiction I Some Measure (Continued from Page 1) vailing, it may deem it necessary to disregard any such criticisms and to take a larger measure of control over matters which may have been con- sidered in the past as subjects pri- marily for undergraduate regulation, Hilty stated. Criticism is explained The reason that there has been so much criticism of the student councils in past years - criticisms of its lack of standing, its inactivity, and apparent uselessness - may well be due to the fact that it has not employed its full measure of control in these fields, he said. IILetters have been sent to fraternity house presidents and presidents of campus organizations and will be pro- vided for independents at the S.C.A. requesting that their criticisms an' opinions of their organizations should be in the hands of the Undergrad- uate Council by Wednesday. Asks For Criticism Plans need not be accepted "en toto," it being entirely possible to take separate provisions from each of the plans submited, Hilty explained. Hilty also stated that any organiza- tion which had not received their questionnaire might do so by com- municating with him. The results of the survey will be used by the Council in the formation of a new form of men's student gov- ernment and will then submit it with its recommendations to the Senate Committee on Student Affairs. Its re- port must be with the committee by Feb. 1. Burkhart Death Is Termed As Suicide No inquest will be held in the death of Lewis Burkhart, 54, a farmer of Freedom Township who took his own life shortly after 6 p.m. Friday night. Death by suicide because of despondency was the finding of Washtenaw County Coroner Edwin C. Ganzhorn. According to the deputy sheriff who investigated the case, Burkhart went out into the yard near the house and shot a .22 calibre bullet through his heart. Death was prac- tically instantaneous. Dr. Ganzhorn said that Burkhart was probably suffering from despon- dency as a result of an accident two years ago in which his skull was frac- tured. He had never recovered full' health, and had been in a mental de- pression ever since. Burkhart had been a farmer in Freedom Township for a number of years, but recently because of his ill health and scarcity of employment had been unable to work. At the time of his death he was living with his brother, Charles Burkhart. Trick Photography Is Chief Feature Of NewGargoyle If the prospect of examinations is causing you psychological distur- bances, you'll fin your nightmares expressed in the trick photography appearinguon the cover of the Feb- ruary issue of the Gargoyle, whi' will go on sale Wednesday, it wa announced last night by Eric W. Hall, '35, managing editor. Another novel feature of the Gar- goyle will be a story on the Universi- ty of Michigan Glider club. The Dean of Women in caricature will also *be presented. Like every other campus organi- zation, the Gargoyle has its own pros posal for the solution of the prob- lem of men's student government, and a conversation between Dean Joseph A. Bursley and a prominent authority will present the embdi- ment of the Gargoyle plan for re- form. As usual, another preposterous person will be shown at his favorite pastime, and five prominent co-eds will appear in "Sophisticated Lady modeling J-Hop house party outfits. A prize-winning short story, "Mas- querade," by Hart Schaaf, who won the contest for the Octobee issue, will also appear. Requests Different Type Of News From Colleges West Lafayette, Ind. (Big Ten) - A direct appeal to universities to supply the press with "those aspects of their activities which enter nec- essarily into the beginnings, sustain- ing, or comfort and security of the lives of the people" instead of the usual run of publicity on facts about scientific research, was expressed in an article featured by the January issue of the Purdue Alumnus. The article is entitled "Interpretation of the University Through the Press," and was written by S. Emery Thom- ason, who is a graduate of the Uni- versity of Michigan and is new pub- lisher of the Chicago News. . He continues, "Universities a r e seeking an interpreter who under- stands the lives, the purposes, the interests, and the language of both the university and the public." He maintains that until the universities supply the press with stories which the newspapermen, as well as th public." He maintains that until the universities supply the press with stories which the newspapermen, as well as the public, understand, the general public will never be able to make use of the repositories of knowledge centered at universities and which the people can -use to an advantage.
