FAUEI THE MICl GAlN DAILY FRIDAY, MARCII 20, 1942 Minority Of State Street Stores Offer Defense Stamp Change Detroit Stands Guard After four months of war, after four months of rationing, curtail- ment, and war saving, a Daily survey yesterday showed only a minority of State Street stores to be participating; in the "take part of your change in defense stamps" campaign. Figures for this survey, taken from a representative group of merchants serving the University area, showed only ten stores carrying defense stamps compared to nineteen who "intended to put them in, but never got around to it." Of eight restaurants-most fre- quent outlet of student expenditure- only four had stamps on hand. One of these claimed to possess war sav- ings stamps, but no sign to that ef- fect was in evidence. Most of the stores seemed some- what disinterested in the whole thing, and also reported little demand for stamps from their customers. In one shop, the Daily reporter was told that he was the second person to have asked for them since the drive began. The main reason for absence of stamps next to local cash registers was the fact that "nobody ever comes around to ask us about them." An- other merchant, somewhat short- handed because of war curtgilment in his merchandise, declared that handling defense stamps with change involved too much extra labor for his present staff. The majority- of stores without Grad Council Meets To Discuss Rooms Reperesentatives from all graduate groups are asked to attend an im- portant meeting of the Graduate Council to be held at 5 p.m. today in the Rackham Building.

Music will be furnished by rec- ords and refreshments will be served. stamps were almost unanimous in recommending the Post Office as the nearest source, and apparently were not aware that some shops were carrying them. U' Committe~e Guides Action OfActivities Continued from Pagec 1) cent. This body's predecessor-the Committee on Student Affairs Other Than Athletics-was formed in 1902 without any students included on its roll. "About 15 years ago the commit-i tee was liberalized to give students membership," Dean Bursley declared. The main function of the commit- tee is that of formulating policy, since it has the power to initiate legisla- tion. It sets up rules in such fields as eligibility for extra-curricular activities, dances, fraternity and sor- ority finances and rushing rules. Any final change in student gov-1 ernment would have to come beforel this body, although Dean Bursley declared that "established channels of student government take first action on all changes." Dean Bursley defined the Union,[ the League, Women's"Judiciary, and Men's Judiciary as recognized organi- zations to which authority in such a case would be delegated. The purpose of this policy, ac- cording to Dean Bursley, is to pre- vent three or four different forms of student government from conflicting with each other on the University campus. This separation of powers does not date back more than 10 or 12 yearsi ago, Dean Bursley told The Daily. At that time there was a council con- sisting of both men and women, but it eventually split into various groups. The student affairs committee has no regular meeting schedule but con- venes on an average of once a month. The Committee on Student Conduct arnd its sub-committee on discipline, however, meets much less frequently.
