BIBLE BASIS:
Stewart Says
Puritanism Is
Literary Force
Saying that it has been the fashion
to deprecate Puritanism as a liter-
ary force, Prof. Randall Stewart of
the English department of Brown
University declared in a lecture yes-
terday that the great period of New
England literature would have been
impossible without the writings of
the 17th century Puritans.
Seventeenth century Puritan liter-
ature used the Bible as its founda-
tion, Prof. Stewart said, pointing out
the numerous Biblical allusions to be
found in the writings of the early
Puritans. Other theological treatises
also had a marked influence on the
17th century writers, Prof. Stewart
added, and the literature reflects hu-
manistic tendencies as well.
The reading of the 17th century
Puritans was for didactic purposes,
Prof. Stewart asserted. The Puritans
were in search of moral truths, and
read Spencer and Milton as sages,
Prof. Stewart said. The Puritan read-
ing was wide, he declared, and trans-
lations of many of the great foreign
works were found in 17th century
libraries in New England.
The outstanding Puritan work of
the 17th century, Prof. Stewart said,
was Cotton Mather's "Magnalia,"

eaturing Tommy Dorsey and his or-
. to 4:30 p.m. today and tomorrow at
ented at the time of application, and
ould be turned in with all application
e made per person. If applications
o be sold, tickets will be allotted pro-
portionately according to class. Jun-
iors will receive first consideration,
followed by seniors and underclass-
men.
Reply cards will be mailed to all
applicants within a week after appli-
cation, and those receiving accepted
cards may apply for tickets. Tickets
will be paid for upon receiving them.
Proceeds for Charity
Scheduled from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m.
Friday, March 8, at the Intramural
Building, proceeds from the Hop will
be donated to the University of the
Philippines and the American Red
Cross. Departing from the traditional
J-Hop weekend, this is the first Hop
which has ever been sponsored for
charity purposes. Students voted to
support the University of the Philip-
pines in the all-campus election held
in December, and until this time, no
large event has been sponsored to
raise benefits.
Unique Decorations
Although plans for the dance were
restricted to allow more funds for
charity, decorations were not com-
pletely curtailed, and a unique theme
will be followed. Unusual programs
will replace favors at the Hop, which
will be formal.
Dances at the League, Union and
fraternities will be approved for Sat-
urday, March 9, but permission will
not be granted for private parties at
any other time during the weekend,
according to Joseph A. Bursley, Dean
of Students.
Student Opinion
Poll Appears
To Be Success
Although the final results of the
Alpha Phi Omega Poll on student
opinion cannot be determined until
ballots are collected from dormitories,
fraternities and sororities today, Mor-
ris Rochlin president of the service
fraternity, said last night that stu-
dent response yesterday indicated
that the poll will be "very success-
ful."
The vote appears to be heavy,
Rochlin said, and many students ex-
pressed pleasure at having an oppor-
tunity to give their opinions on stu-
dent activities.
Ballots will continue to be collected
on the diagonal, in the Union, the
League, and at the engineering arch
today, according to Russel Scovill,
who heads the project. Scovill said
that forms will be provided at the
places of collection.
The results will appear in The
Daily as soon as they have been tabu-
lated, in order that campus organi-
zations and committees may learn
student opinion on the proposed ac-
tivities. It is expected that favorable
response to these activities will
prompt the organizations to sponsor
them.
Coeds To Be
Fitted for 'Caps'
Women graduating in February
will be measured and fitted for their
caps and gowns Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday at a North Univer-
sity sports shop in order that the caps
and gowns may be worn at the Senior
Supper, which will be held at 6:30
p.m. Wednesday.
According to Liz Knapp, chairman
of the caps and gowns committee,
men of the February graduating class
should be measured before Feb. 9 so
that the caps and gowns will arrive
before graduation, Feb. 23.

Final Draft of
Constitution
To Be Read
The final Constitution for student
government with the recently adopt-
ed modifications, will be read and
discussed at the Town Hall meeting
at 7:15 p.m. today in the basement
of Lane Hall.
The time of the meeting has
been advanced to enable everyone,
including those planning to attend
the concert,sto hear the revised
Constitution and add their com-
ments. The meeting will continue
throughout the evening.
This final draft, which will be read
by Sandy Perlis, President of the
Union, includes changes recommend-
ed by the Committee on Student Af-
fairs. This is the Constitution which
students will vote upon at the next
all campus election.
Wayne Saari, chairman of the Pub-
lic Affairs Committee of SRA, Jane
Straus, Secretary of the League
Council and others who helped draw
up the Constitution will explain the
changes in the Constitution.
Calling for a nine-member Student
Council and a Forum made up of
heads of major organizations to act
in conjunction with the Council, the
proposal represents an entirely new
approach to student representation in
campus government.
Recommendations will be made
at the Town Hall meeting for the
election at which the Constitution
will be approved or rejected by the
student body. If the Constitution
is accepted, students elected at the
same election will become heads of
the student government. If the
Constitution is rejected the nine
member committee will draw up a
more acceptable document.
The Constitution was drawn up
over a two-month period after ex-
tensive correspondence with other
schools, consultation with University
officials interested in student activi-
ties, and student heads of existing
campus organizations, as well as
other interested groups. The idea
for a student Forum made up of
heads of organizations came from
those attending a student Town Hall
meeting last month.
Art Exhibit in
Rackham Will
End Tomorrow
By JOAN SWALLOW
The works of two nationally known
Detroit artists, John Pappas and
Sarkis Sarkisian, on display in the
mezzanine galleries of the Rackham
Building since January 14, will be on
view to the public from 2 to 5 p.m.
and from 7 to 10 p.m. today. The
exhibit, sponsored by the College of
Architecture and Design, will end to-
night.
The exhibit of Pappas' work is
made up exclusively of still lifes and
landscapes, the latter largely of Gre-
cian scenes. His style is convention-
ally realistic. Sarkisian's paintings,
on the other hand, for the most part
are portraits, and unlike Pappas, he
is a constant experimenter. These

Club Elects Officers
Douglas Wilson was elected presi-
dent of the Varsity Glee Club in its
meeting last night.
Other officers elected were George
Bridges, vice-president; Robert Pol-
lock, secretary-treasurer; and Rich-
ard Cortright, publicity director.

Late Registration Is Banned
If you were thinking of registering late for the Spring Semester-
forget it-unless you have some other University in mind.
With the exception of veterans who have not been in residence
for the Fall Semester, registration will close at noon, March 2.
Following is a statement from yesterday's deans' conference:
ATTENTION ALL STUDENTS:
"By action of the Conference of Deans, all students are required to
register for the Spring Term at, and NO LATER THAN, the time an-
nounced in the registration schedule."
"Late registrations will not be permitted by the administrative
authorities of the several units, except in the. case of veterans who
have not been in residence for the Fall Term."
"Students must present their identification cards at the time of
registration and must file their registration material themselves,
NOT by proxy."
"The reason for this requirement is the unprecedented demand which
the enrollment for the Spring Term will make upon the educational re-
sources and the housing facilities of the University."
"Because of these conditions, it is absolutely essential that registra-
tion and classification be completed according to schedule."
(Registration i scheduled for Feb. 28--Mar. 2).
AND CHARADES TOO:
Senior Party To Be iven for
February Grads Tomorrow

Social and folk-dancing, charades,
and a floor show will high-light the
party being given for February grad-
uates of the literary college from 7:30
Iran -Russia
Dispute To Be
Settled Directly
LONDON, Jan. 30-(P)--In its first
major action, the United Nations Se-
curity Council agreed unanimously
tonight to permit Russia and Iran
to settle their dispute by direct nego-
tiation,,but reserved the right to re-
quest information on the progress of
their negotiations at any time.
The decision climaxed a four-
hour debate, sometimes heated.
Soviet Vice Foreign Commissar An-
drei Vishinsky pounded the table
at times. British Foreign Secretary
Ernest Bevin charged that Russia
had conducted what "looked to us
like a war of nerves" in the Iran
case.
Thus the big powers threw off the
cloak of secret diplomacy and tackled
their problems-and those of smaller
nations-in the open.
By its agreement, the 11 - nation
council averted what might have de-
veloped into an open split between
Russia on the one hand and the
United States and Britain on the
other over Iran's complaint that
Russia had interfered in Iran's in-
ternal affairs.
The agreement came on a sud-
den, expressly conciliatory move by
Bevin after Vishinsky vehemently
opposed a Bristish-American pro-
posal that the Iranian case be sub-
mitted to direct negotiation but
that the security council keep the
case on its agenda.
Debate began shortly after Tehran
dispatches reported the Soviet Union
had turned back to the Iranian State
Railways vital lines in the Northern
Iran Zone of Russian occupation.
Iranian delegates said privately this
should improve relations between the
two countries.
After Vishinsky spoke, Bevin com-
mented that Russia had conducted
what appeared to be a "war of
nerves" in 'Iran. He recalled the
Russian allegation, made in a docu-
ment filed with the council several
days ago, that conditions in Iran
threatened the Russian Azerbaijan
and Aku oil field region.

Total of 2,684 Candidates,
Officers Graduated Since '42

to 9 .p.m. tomorrow in the Women's
Athletic Building.'
Another event to be featured dur-
ing the evening will be the signing
of the new register designed to hold
the names of seniors attending func-
tions of the Class of '46. There will
also be group singing and games . A
prize will be awarded and refresh-
ments will be served.
"The party," Patricia Barrett, sen-
ior class president, said, "is intended
to be a 'get-together' fr seniors
graduating in February." The pro-
gram will end at 9 p.m. so that
seniors having later dates may keep
them.
Plans to hold a dance in conjunc-
tion with the College of Engineering
did not materialize because of the
lack of response on the part of the
students.
Anti-Labo r Bill
Given to House
By Committee
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30-(A)-A.
strike control bill far more sweeping
than President Truman asked was
approved by the House Rules com-
mittee today and sent to the House
floor for action, amid bitter protests
from backers of labor unions.
It would outlaw violent picketing,
provide for civil suits against viola-
tors of labor contracts and lay un-
ions open to injunctions. Foremen's
unions would be deprived of any
status.
A labor-management board would
be created to help settle disputes.
Five-day notice of any strikes or lock-
outs would have to be given to this
board. If it took jurisdiction, strikes
or lockouts would be prohibited for a
30-day cooling off period.
The board, composed of six or more
members appointed by the President,
would then try conciliation, media-
tion through a special panel or (if
both parties agreed) binding arbitra-
tion by one person
The measure, on which House de-
bate may open tomorrow, contains
many more teeth than the President's
plan. He asked Congress to legalize
fact-finding boards, give them power
of subpoena and prohibit strikes for
30 days while they deliberated.
GM Demands

Of Membership Clause
DETROIT, Jan. 30-(AP)-Declar-
ing it was "unwilling" to approve a
maintenance-of-membership clause
in a new contract, General Motors
Corporation today told the CIO-Unit-
ed Automobile Workers it had "noth-
ing further" to offer until uninter-
rupted production was assured.

Graduation ceremonies for 91 of-
ficers at 10 a.m. today in Hutchins
Hall will mark the close of the Judge
Advocate General's School at the
University.
As the nation's only Officer Can-
didate School maintained by the JAG
Department, all men who have en-
tered the School for advanced train-
ing received their instruction here.
Transferred In 1942
Transferred to the W. W. Cook
Law Quadrangle in September, 1942,
from Washington, a total of 2,684
candidates and officers have been
graduated from the School during
this time. Of this number, 1,258 com-
prised the 27 Officer Classes; 942
were in the 15 Officer Candidate
Claesses, and 484 were members of
the nine contract termination classes.
Fourteen Filipino officers have
been among those to complete courses
in the School, including six who will
participate in the convocation cere-
monies today.
Two Alumni In Class
Two University alumni are also
among those graduating: Capt. Paul
0. Harvey, (A.B., '36, LLB., '39),
Bay City, and Lieut. Clarence E. El-
dridge, Jr., (A.B., '38, LLB. '40), Ann

Arm yAllows
GI Families To
Go Overseas
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30-(P)-The
Army held out inducements today to
officers and high non-coms to stay
overseas by announcing that their
families would be permitted to join
them.
Priority will be given to families of
men who agree to remain abroad one
or two more years.
To speed the flow of replacements
for soldiers who come home, Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower announced
that the training period for recruits
in this country had been cut from 13
to eight weeks.
The extent to which families ma'
join officers and non-coms in Eu-
rope and the Orient depends upon the
decision of theater commanders as
to available housing, subsistence and
medical care.
Under existing law, only families
of commissioned officers, of master,
first, technical and staff sergeants,
and of certain War Department civil-
ian personnel are allowed to travel
at 'government expense.
Amplifying a formal announce-
ment, war department officials said
that for the time being dependents of
privates and others in the lowest en-
listed grades would not be permitted
to go overseas, because of lack of
housing. A proposal to include them
in the provision later is under study,
it was said.

Robert P. Briggs said yesterday in a
report to President Ruthven and
other University officials.
The University, along with other
government units, has a top priority
on the huge airport, Briggs said.
He added that no decision is ex-
pected from the SPA for several
yweeks.

of the JAG Department.
Plaque Inscribed
Inscribed on the 18 by 24-inch
plaque are the following words: "In
grateful recognition by the Judge Ad-
vocates of the Army for patriotic con-
tribution made by the University of
Michigan Law School during World
War II in placing at the disposal of
the Judge Advocate General of the
Army the facilities of the W. W. Cook
Law Quadrangle as the site of the
Judge Advocate General's School,
1942-1946." It will be mounted near
the east entry of the Lawyers Club.
Fifty-six officers have been as-
signed to the School's staff and fac-
ulty during its three-and-a-half
years of existence here. Several mem-
bers of the present staff will remain
at the Quad through February and
March to complete administrative de-
tails, according to Col. Reginald Mil-
ler, commandant of the Army forces
at the University.
Navy esearch
Pro gram Begun,
At Universty
30 Colleges to Partake
In Scientific Project
Three scientists are now engaged in
special research here as part of the
Navy Department's new program of
scientific research in American col-
leges, Prof. Donald G. Marquis, of
the psychology department, an-
nounced yesterday.
Will Investigate Electronics
The multi-million dollar program,
the first peacetime project of its kind
will finance research in electronics,
nuclear physics, biophysics, nutrition,
radio, biology, material deterioration,
chemistry, mathematics, flight guided
missles and medicine.
Thirty colleges and universities, in-
cluding the University, have signed or
are negotiating contracts with the
Navy. The University recently signed
a "basic" contract, which permits of
special contracts later.
U's Project Is Vision
The University's first project un-
der the new program will be research
into problems in vision, ranging from
optics to the physiology and psychol-
ogy of vision.
Under the contract, the University
will be accorded complete freedom of
research and publication of its find-
ings.
The present project is being con-
ducted under the general supervision
of the Army-Navy-National Research
Council, a war agency which is con-
tinuing its work in peacetime.
On campus the project is being su-
pervised by Prof. Marquis and H. R.
Blackwell, Grad., of the psychology
department, both members of the
Council.
Rear Adm. H. G. Bowen, chief of
;he Navy's Office of Research and In-
ventions, in announcing the new pro-
gram, said:
Necessary To Spend Millions
"Unless we spend millions of dol-
lars for fundamental research now,
we are opening ourselves to disaster.
It is no longer possible to run a Navy
without the closest contact with the
scientific world.
"The draft caused a shortage of
17,000 technically trained men.
Through our program that shortage
can, in part, be replaced."
