NOV. 29. 19R9 y Governor Asks Crippled Aid' Board Resign Private Help Will Suffice; Dickinson.Says, As Move Is Taken To Cut Costs LANSING, Nov. 28.-(A')-Gover- nor Dickinson today climaxed six months of controversy over the care of crippled children by a demand for the resignation of every member of the Michigan Crippled Children Com- mission in his efforts to cut State ex- penditures. (The Governor's attitude toward this dommission had been realized earlier and students here on campus had circulated petitions asking him to keep the board). "I know where I can find public- spirited citizens of Michigan who are thoroughly interested in crippled children and who will make every dollar do the most possible good to- ward helping the greatest number of crippled children," he wrote. "I would like cooperation along that line. I am reluctantly brought to the conclusion that I should ask the present commission to resign, in order to further the welfare of crip- vled children, rather than trying to further the interests of certain groups of organizations. May I ask that you reply by offering me your resignation as a member of the commission?" Such was the demand he issued to the members today, lAS To Inspect ArmyAir Field ' More' than five professors and 60 members of the University branch of the Institute of Aeronautical Sci- ences will leave by automobile for Dayton, Ohio early Friday morning to inspect Wright Field, which is a material division of the United States Army. Of special interest to the students at this field of 6,000 acres will be new testing devices, research develop- ments and aircraft equipment. After viewing this airways center Friday afternoon and Saturday morning, the group will begin the return to Ann Arbor. I Institute Gets Read Opinion IDr. Waggoner's Request On Examinations Decided LANSING, Nov. 28.-(M)-Attorney General Thomas Read said today he found nothing in the 1939 "moron' law" which granted judicial privilege to psychiatric examinations made' l under the law, unless the subject is forced to submit to such examina- tions. In an opinion asked by Dr. Ray- mond W. Waggoner, director of the Neuropsychiatric Institute at the University Hospital, Read held "that the accused maynot be forced to sub- mit to an examination but may claim the constitutional privilege against self-incrimination." Read said, however, that if the subject is warned of his constitution- al rights and submits to the examina- tion, the psychiatric report is admis- sable in court. Read said the physi- cian-patient relationship did not en- ter into the question of those terms. The psychiatrist must file his re- port with the court without being subpoenaed,, Read held. Sellars To Speak On 'Men And Books' Prof. Roy Sellars of the philosophy department will give a talk on "Men and Books Which Have Influenced My Mind" at 8 p.m. Friday in the Hillel Foundation, immediately* fol- lowing the regular Friday night Con- servative Services. This is the fifth in a series of bi- weekly lectures which are given by various members of the faculty on Fridays at the same time.and on the same topic. Among those profes- sors who have already spoken are Prof. Preston Slosson of the history department, Prof. Norman Nelson of the English department, Prof. Robert Angell of the sociology department and Prof. John Shepard of the psy- chology department. Physicist To Talk Today "Super Finish" is the subject of the talk Dr. E. F. Abbott, Ann Arbor re- search physicist, will give at 7:30 p.m. today in the Michigan Union to the American Society of Mechanical En- gineering.

Roosevelt As Possible Candidate For 3rd Term By HOWARD A. GOLDMAN "The time for presidential nomin- ating conventions should be set for Labor Day or shortly thereafter," Prof. James K. Pollock of the poli- tical science department recom- mended yesterday in an interview. National committees of both major parties will meet soon, Professor Pol- lock pointed out, and' they can by simple resolution change the times of the convention meetings. (The Republican National Committee will meet Tuesday, and the Democratic group a short time later, probably in January.) Public Interest Flags With the conventions coming as they do in June, Professor Pollock explained, the campaign lasts about four and one-half months. This length of time, he asserted is entirely too long to hold the public's inter- est. The campaign usually works up to a high pitch sometime in Sep- tember, he commented, and one more month of speeches only wears the people out.. Professor Pollock also pointed out that unsettled business conditions, always prevalent during a presiden- tial campaign, would be alleviated if the nomination and election dates were moved closer together. He add- ed that huge campaign expenditures, so much criticized lately, would be considerably lessened by shortening campaigns. Only custom dictates the time of nominating conventions, Professor Pollock said. In the days of William Jennings Bryan, he explained, such a long campaign probably was need- Fifth Recital Will Bie Given At 4:15_Today Catharine Crozier, of the faculty of the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, N.Y., will give the fifth in a series of Twilight Organ Recitals at 4:15 p.m. today in Hill Auditorium. The general public is invited. Miss Crozier received her early musical training in Pueblo, Colo., af- ter which she entered the Eastman School of Music graduating with the degree of Bachelor of Music in 1936. In that year she also received an Artist Diploma, the highest award given by the school, and was appoint- ed a member of the faculty. Among the selections scheduled to be heard on her program are the Toc- cata, Adagio and Fugue in C major by Bach and four of Bach's Chorale Preludes, "The Old Year Math Passed Away," "Comest Thou, Jesus, from Heaven to Earth," "To Thee I Call, Lord Jesus Christ" and "In Thee Is Joy." She will also play Sowerby's Symphony in G major. V ocaioiial Gutidance President Charles A. Sink, of the School of Music will talk at the third of the season's Union-sponsored vo- cational guidance programs to be held at 4:30 p.m. tomorrow in the small ballroom of the Union in con- junction wih the regular Coffce Hour held at that time. The series of talks was designedt to enable the student interested in entering a professional field, to bene- fit by a more intimate contact than other circumstances could afford, to learn of the real nature of his intend- ed work. Talks and dsicussions are carried oi by members of the Uni- versity faculty. The series is planned to continue during the entire winter, covering as many professional fields as possible. ed to enable candidn-es to give the public adequate knowledge of major issues. However, in this day of im- proved transportation, communica- tion and advertisement, he declared, an eight-week campaign would be a more reasonable length. More Time To Spend Party Funds Professor Pollock indicated that the desire to make party jobs last longer, coupled with the increased opportunities to spend campaign funds, are some probable reasons for the illogical continuance of long campaigns. However, he added, that's all the more reason to shorten them! The Republicans in particular have good reason to change the date of their nominating convention (us- ually early in June) to a later date, Professor Pollock pointed out. If the Republicans nominate a; certain man, not considering Roosevelt as a pos- sible opponent, and Roosevelt is actually nominated by the Democrats (meeting late in June), the entire Republican campaign could be ruined.1 He observed, however, that a det- errent to such a move might be fearJ that the Democrats, with a longer' campaign, would have an advantage. Muyskens To Speak On Upper Peninsula Present conditions in Michigan's upper peninsula wlil be discussed by Prof. John H. Muyskens, of the Speech Department, at a dinner meet- ing of the Hiawatha Club 6:30 p.m. tomorrow in Room 318 of the Union. Philip Westbrook, Jr., '40, presi- dent of the club, will act as toast- master. Invitations have been ex- tended to Prof. Robert Craig, Jr., of the Forestry Department, and T. Hawley Tapping, general secretary of the Alumnus Association, to attend. The program committee, consisting of Albin Schinderle, '42, Robert Luerry, SpecE, and John K.

Most people connected with the many conferences held in the build- ing usually take time off, from their meetings to have a thorough look at all the rooms, the House Director ex- plained. Within the last year, there have been 15 national conferences, 17 state, and over 50 local, graduate and faculty groups that have cen- tered their activities in the Rackham Building. The Lecture Hall, which the House 'Director testified attracts most atten- tion, is open to visitors from 10 to 10:30 a.m., and 3 to 3:30 p.m. * U.

Recognizing this, the Law School sixteen years ago. inaugurated a system of case clubs, through which law students might gain some first hand knowledge in the actual routine and handling of cases before the bar. It is true that the Law School offered a course in Practice Court, and for that matter, still does. But this course is only taken by seniors and so for the first two years of study in the School, students had only brief reference to and hearsay knowledge of actual practice. It was for this reason., that the case club system was devised. The earliest records available on the clubs date back to 1923 and 1924. At that time Prof. Paul Leidy was the 'senior ad- viser to the Cooley Club, which ap- pears to have been the only club in existence. Student Juries Heard Cases Cases at that time were argued be- fore a jury of students; the questions of fact being argued, as well as ques- tions of law. As an incentive to competition, an award of $75 was offered to seniors successful in their. argument. But only 16 seniors par- ticipated as compared with the 330 members in all of the clubs today: In 1924 the membership had increased to 24. In 1925, the club system, as it exists today, was formally organ- ized by Professors Holbrook, Stason and Durfee. The clubs organized were called the Marshall, Kent, Story and Holmes, Clubs. A statement at that time says, "The purpose of these clubs is to furnish an extra-curricu- Jar opportunity for the preparation of, and argument of concrete law cases, and it is the thought of those behind them that they would some- day supplant the course in "Practice Court." The program set up called for in- tra-club arguments between the freshman members, and for inter- club arguments between the junior members, each team composed of two students. Interest was stimulated Eleanor Hazzard Peacock, M.E.

Law Firm Sets Up Fundl An unexpected boon came the way of the clubs at this time with thet offer of a $4,000 fund by a Detroiti law firm in honor of their former1 partner, Henry M. Campbell, '78L.I The income of this gift, amountingI to $150 a year is used to reward thej winning counsel. However, in prac-E tice the award is split up among the four members of the two finalist teams. The organization today is con- ducted by a student Case Club Con- nittee,selected on the basis of com- petition during their junior year in ,lub work. Participation is open to the first and second year students.E According to John Pickering, '40L,. mernber of the committee, the funda- mental purpose of the competition is to give students opportunity to co- rdinate substantive law with prac-s tic al application to a concrete case.j Three features cannot be over-em.- phaSiefd, namely, the experience in writing briefs. orally arguing cases,t and learning the rudiments of legale bibliography and the necessaryf library legal research conected. o First-round competition in thel clubs will be over just before Christ-e mas vacation, Pichering said, andc winners will be announced at the be-v ginning of the second semester, at t w.hich time final competition will be-c gin.
