~~Y' ~ 1~~T' MI~~~A N DAILY --_ _ __ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Kallenbach Discusses Coalitiot Seeking Control of Congress t!5 -e SoulIetrIIN Alliaiwe ras* sPartyhue A large group of Southern Demo- crats and Republicans have recently teamed up in an organized bid for control of Congress, with the im- mediate goal of whittling down the powers of OPA. "The only way in which the pre- sent Congressional coalIit ion differs from many previous coalitions," Prof. Joseph E. Kallenbach of the political science department stated yesterday, "is that it has a formal committee organization whereas the others were herely informal." Group is Not New There is nothing new in this type of group, he explained. They seem to be inherent in a two party system such as ours. Since each of the ma- jor parties is made up of widely di- vergent elements, there is a wide gulf that separates the wings of the parties and it is only natural that there should be alliances that cross party lines. "This is simply a manifestation of strong political presure brought to bear on individual members of Con- gress by constituents and others, to which they respond," Prof. Kallen- bach declared. "The American people do not care for party members to be under a strong party discipline. This has never been a characteristic of our political system." Coalition To Block OPA 'The present coalition," Kallen- bach claimed, "which consists of Re- publicans and Southern Democrats, is a carry-over from the group which favored the labor disputes bill now before the Senate. The part played by Southern Democrats is due to the fact that they have never agreed wholeheartedly with New Deal poli- cies in relation to labor.," The present problem which the coalition intends to deal with is the OPA legislation now before Congress. I doubt, Prof. Kallenbach contended, that they will have complete success in their attempts to limit the power of this agency. They may succeed in Programn Tesis Grad Students More than 400 graduate students took the graduate record examina- tions last week as a part of theInsti- tutional Testing Program under the auspices of the Graduate School. Required of all graduate students planning to receive a graduate de- gree from the University, the test is divided into two sections. The first section is designqd to evaluate the student's general know- ledge and academic background. It deals with eight fields: chemistry, physics, mathematics, biological sciences, social sciences, English lit- erature, fine arts and also what is known as the verbal factor. The second section of the test ex- amines the student in his own field of specialization. Examinations in six- teen fields of concentration are of- fered in this section. Students whose previous education is not fitted to any of the specific tests available are given examinations which are related as nearly as possible to the subjects which they have studied. \ SH E USE D yn~ a brush andComb" a nA Y D A U M ET S This sensat onal creaIm shampoo leaves hair obedient, pliable, gleaming, and so fresh and clean.

"Once a measure of success has been obtained," he continued, "the group will probably enter into the whole area of government restric- tions upon free enterprise to prevent further government controls. They also have interests in the jabor situa- tion." Bi-partisans Act Independently On the whole, this can be said in exoneration of bi-partisan bloc ac- tion, Prof. Kallenbach concluded: it disproves the charges of many persons that Congress members are mere rubber stamps of party and exe- :utive policies. "The situation created by this coa- lition is complex but by no means un- usual. It should also be kept in mind that there are factions of contrary opinion to counteract activities ofk this particular bloc." Close Relations In Classroom A re Lacking Whatilac ;king ii our modlrn cdlucational system is a close rela- tionship of the instructor, to the student, said Dr. David Sonquist, edu- cational director of Circle Pines Damp, Kalamazoo, at an informal dis- cussion yesterday afternoon at Mur- iel Lester Co-operative House. . "The role of teachers is basic," he stressed, "and we will endeavor to associate with us those leaders who posses qualitics of insight and ider- standing of the cultural trends of the past." The camp, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, will follow the pattern set by Danish Folk Schools, the most pro- gressive educational movement of the century. As substitute for grades and degrees, educators will emphasize the intrinsic value of subjects in an ef- fort to stimulate creative initiative. The University of Califoria leac~ds every other school in the country in the development of extension classes according to Dr. Charles A. Fisher, director of the University Extension Service. Dr. Fisher, who recently returned from a four week's tour of extension centers at universities and colleges throughout the Middle and Far West. gays California leads the list both from the standpoint of total enrcll- ment and of total revenue. Dr. Fisher visited the Indiana Uni- versity extension center at Fort Wayne and the centers in Indiana- polis run by Indiana and Purdue Uni- versities. Michigan, he found, has more non- credit students (three-fourths of the total enrollment) in its extension courses than any other school. He discovered also that Michigan pays it extension teachers much better than the average. In regard to contests-athletic, d - Fisher Cites Extension Work bating, oratory, music, etc.-conduct-, ced by the extension service for high school students, the University of Texas ranks at the top. At, the University of Texas, the State Board in control of Vocational Educat ion works in a very close re- lationship to the university exten- sion service. This cooperaion, Dr. Fisher said, represents a big improve- ment over an independent function- ing of the two services.

Live in 'Sunflower Village' At the University of Kansas 300 married veterans and their wives and children are living at Sunflower Vil- lage in quarters once used by work- ers at the Sunflower Ordnance Works, a situation comparable to the Michi- gan Vets' Village. Managing Editor Becky Vallette of the University Daily Kansan visited the village, and re- ported that in spite of the drab view and barracks-like surroundings, "the GI's are adapting themselves to these iny, inconvenient homes with the same (heerful attitude that they adapted themselves to the Pacific, Africa and Europe."
