Palmer Is Selected Lient.- Comman der P By Naval Board Lieut.

Ex-Governor Comstock Urges Youth To become Alert Citizens By BARBARA JENSWOLD "Youth's problem today lies in how many individual rights should be given up voluntarily to those who govern, to assure the best society." declared former Governor William A. Comstock at a meeting of the Michi- gan Party yesterday evening in the Union. Mr. Comstock continued with'a dis- cussion of the possibilities of student government at the University. He traced the growth of society from.its fundamental inception as a protec- tive institutioin for the individual through its various stages of devel- opment., Should Strong Survive? "Today, when the doctrine that on- ly the strong should survive has come again to the fore, we must decide whether the weak'are to be protect- ed. If we all could bring to practice in the University the bill of rights and add to it, on the religious side, the Ten Commandments, we would have all we need on whch to base our society," he said. Mr.Comstock was a student of the University 1895-99, and he served n the Board of Regents 1913-14. From this experience in these two ca- pacities and from his later observa- tions, he said, he has noticed a change in education policy. "The problem now is with mass production, in all fields. In the University there is mass production of degree recipients; it has even been extended to the higher degrees. And with this trend there has been lost much of the old incen- tive for individual work-along the lines of research and expression. Individuals Regimented "Individuals have been regimented into acting on the will of others. Thus, it isup to them to draw a line and decide how much of the original rights they are going to possess and how much they are going to allow to be transferred to others." Mr. Comstock stated that it was part of the duty of the Michigan PolicePrepare I Party and such organizations to arouse student thought on this issue. They have been so long deprived of tudent government since it was out- lawed from the University some years ago that they have become lethargic and submissive, he concluded, and only concerted action can relieve this situation, he declared. L. A. Kniskern To Speak Here IRiecord Of Ship Bureau Scheduled As Topic Lieut. Commdr. Leslie A. Kniskern of the Navy Department's Bureau of Ships will present the sixth in a series of lectures on the history, de- velopment, organization and purposes' of the navy at 4 p.m. today in Room 348 of the West Engineering Build- ing. Entitled "Navy Architecture in the Navy," the talk will trace the activi- ties of the Bureau of Ships from de- sign plans to the final launching of combat craft.

In preparing material for the course, Mayfield has visited the State Police school in Lansing and in the future he expects to visit police schools in Kalamazoo, Jackson and Detroit.

At the present time the men in the department are being trained in ex- pert pistol shooting under the direc- tion of Sgt. Casper Enkemann.

It covered a three week period. The nine recruits received instruction in procedure and departmental regu- lations.
