CANDIDATES' STATEMENTS See Page 2 Y Latest Deadline in the State 4 i1 SHOWERS COLDER VOL. LVII, No. 40 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1946 PRICE FIVE CENTS Fine Hits Lower EnrollmentHopes Educator Predicts Registration for Universities Will Increase Until 1950 The basic fallacy in higher educators' thinking today is that "we will soon return to the 'good old days' of lower college and university enrollment." That's the opinion of Dr. Benjamin Fine, education editor of The New York Times, who is in Ann Arbor attending the University Press Club of Michigan meeting. He termed such thinking "a pipe dream.." Indications are that college and university enrollment will gradu- ally increase until 1950 when approximately 3,000,000 students will be enrolled in our higher educational institutions, he predicted. Present college enrollment is 2,000,000. 0 He based his higher enrollment pre- ruman Resignation Held Unlikely * * * * * * * * U.S. Threatens To Retain Mandates Four Sorority Members Quit Committee Bloc Blast Slate Politics; Groups Deny Charges Issuing a blast against partisan campus politics, four sorority mem- bers running for the Student Legis- lature yesterday withdrew their sup- port from the Greek letter dominated University Committee. Pesonal Qualifications Asserting that "personal qualifi- cations, not affiliation or non-affil- iation, should be the basis of a stu- dent legislator's election," Polly Han- son and Rozann Radliff, Delta Delta Delta, Rae Kjeller, Kappa Kappa Gamma, and Kit Riegel, Kappa Al- pha Theta, said that they chose "to run as members of a unified student body, not as members of Greek letter or independent groups." The coeds will now run separately as individuals among the 20 odd non- partisan candidates. Committee Answers Walt Klee, student nominee on the University Committee slate, den- ied that his group is "organized on a fraternity-sorority basis." Assert- ing that the Committee was "open at all times to any and all" and that efforts were made "to obtain inde- pendents on our slate" Klee claimed that the Committee platform will re- present the "entire student body." The University Committee claims to have two independent members on its slate. Slate Position Contending that the All Campus Slate was not organized as an in- dependent bloc, Torn Walsh, head of the Slate, said: "our slate, represent- ing 20 diffrent campus groups, was assmbled to present the widest pos- sible campus representation." The All Campus Slate claims to include one fraternity member. Action by women nominees fol- lowed the Student Legislature's re- fusal to pass a motion striking party designations from the ballots to be used in Tuesday and Wednesday's election. The motion was submitted Wednesday on the grounds that the University Committee and the All- Campus Slate had been inadver- tently drawn up on fraternity-in- dependent lines. Campaign Rally Set for Monday A campus-wide rally permitting all Student Legislature candidates to present their platforms to the stu- dent body will be held at 7:30 p.m. Monday in the Union Ballroom. Hack Coplin, chairman of the Leg- islature election publicity committee, said yesterday that as a result of demands by students and candidates, the Legislature will provide time for all non-partisan candidates and rep- resentatives of the All-Campus Slate and University Committee to speak. "As a result of the interest already aroused over the election, this looks as though it will be a wide-open, no- holds-barred affair," Coplin said. Detroit Papers Hit By Labor Troubles DETROIT, Nov. 7-(P)--Detroit afternoon newspapers reached read- ers several hours behind schedule to- day as a labor dispute at the De- troit Times resulted in edition delays at that paper and Detroit News. It marked the third time this week _, ai:4,. . ,1M+ yl diction on two factors: (1) motiva- tion arising out ofthelarge veteran enrollment; and (2) the fact that America is now sold on the value of higher education. "There are educators who cry that too many veterans are attending col- lege," he declared. "These educators are like the minister who complained that there were too many people at- tending his church." "Many of us have been led to be- lieve that there is a 'veterans prob- lem'," Dr. Fine asserted. "There is no veterans problem," he declared, "the problem is created by colleges and universities which do See FINE, Page 8 * * * Fine declares U.S. Education Cheats Children The American people-parents educators and politicians-have for years been cheating their children out of a fair education, Dr. Benjamin Fine, education editor of New York Times, said yesterday at the Voca- tional Education Conference held here. Pointing out that the United States spends approximately $3,000,- 000,000 a year for education in com- parison with the $7,000,000,000.spent for liquor, and the $10,000,000,0000 spent for cosmetics, Dr. Fine urged that we take steps immediately to provide at least twice as much money for education as is now being spent if American schools are not to dete- riorate in the present post-war pe- riod. The educational situtaion is due to get worse instead of better, Dr. Fine warned. The higher birth rate of recent years will mean many thous- ands more children in elementary schools by 1950. Titiev Suggests Prejudice Cure American parents have it within their power to raise a generation of children free of racial prejudice, Prof. Mischa Titiev told members of the Inter-Racial Association yester- day. If parents waged as relentless and resourceful a war against the poison- ous virus of racial intolerance as they conduct when their children are in- fected by physiological germs, racial prejudice would cease to exist, he contended. "Children are not born with racial intolerance," Prof. Titiev declared, "but acquire such attitude through the learning process." Unless they are taught the facts of race prejudice in their daily associa- tion with people, children remain un- aware of the distorted and warped ideas that characterize inter-racial disunity, he said. Dulles Asks UN Control Isle Groups Implies De Facto Rule To Continue By The Associated Press LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y., Nov. 7 -The United States served notice to- day that it would retain control of mandated Pacific islands taken from Japan in the recent war if the United Nations finally rejects an American plan for limited UN supervision of those vast island areas. John Foster Dulles, a United States alternate delegate to the UN Assem- bly, informed the 51-member trus- teeship committee of the United States offer of limited supervision which was announced last night in Washington and later told newsmen in effect that this country would keep its hands on the islands. 'Take It Or Leave It' "If the proposal fails, the admin- istration continues in de facto status under the control of the present ad- ministering authority," Dulles said. Some newsmen suggested that this might be termed a "take-it-or-leave- it" condition but Dulles did not agree with that interpretation. In the committee Dulles asked the United Nations to set up a trustee- ship council immediately. He coup- led this with a warning aginst bringing the veto into the trusteeship picture at this time. Russia Silent Russia has not tipped her hand on trusteeships but there have been re- ports that she might seek to declare herself a state "directly concerned" and by that interpretation exercise a sort of veto on trusteeships. Striking at the possibility that any state might seek an "interested" status to invoke a veto, Dulles said: "The United States is willing to join with others in accepting a sys- tem of equality and not asserting a special position in relation to the agreements now before us. We do not want an interpretation of 'states di- rectly conceded' which might import the veto system into the work of the assembly. "We believe that history will not judge kindly any who take a posi- tion which would in fact block the establishment of the trusteeship sys- tem and its grant to dependent peoples of the right to eventual self- government or independence." Hope Seen for Coal Settlement WASHINGTON, Nov. 7- ()- Signs of a possible break in the soft coal dispute arose tonight as John L. Lewis called in district union presidents who would pass on any settlement plan. Lewis himself made no announce- ment but the approximately 30 presi- dents in the bituminous-producing areas were brought into Washington, where the United Mine Workers are negotiating with the government for higher wages.

Education Must Meet Needs of Society--A dams American education must measure its responsibilities in terms of the developing needs of an evolving so- ciety and the great social purposes for which education exists, Provost James P, Adams said yesterday. Speaking before the Michigan Col- lege Association which met here to corlsider problems of veterans en- rollment and admission standards for high school students, Dr. Adams de- clared that these responsibilities are not new, but that never before has it been so important that they be dis- charged with effectiveness and fidel- ity. "The education which a grateful nation has offered to servicemen is not only a benefit bestowed upon the veteran himself, but it is also a great social gain," Dr. Adams declared. Despite our accomplishments, we have not yet achieved the real goal- that of offering higher education to all who effectively could use it, Dr. Adams said. Economic disabilities still could use it, Dr. Adams said. Economics disabilities still limit young men and women who could make the best use of education, and we cannot afford in our society, with all its needs to let any of our talents to go un- used for lack of cultivation, he added. "I cannot be satisfied with a defi- nition of educational purpose which makes education exclusively the training of the mind," Dr. Adams as- serted. "There are important areas of human experience in which the rational process is not sufficient. Education must also help youth to re- fine the quality of its emotional re- sponse and to cultivate respect for moral and spiritual values," he said. U.S. Moves To0 Break Deadlock WASHINGTON, Nov. 7-(AP)-In a move to break a deadlock with Rus- sia, the United States has asked ten nations if they will assist in prepar- ing a directive for General MacAr- thur on how to divide reparations from Japan. Diplomatic officials disclosed to- night that the State Department had advanced this proposal to the coun- tries represented on the Far East Commission after noting Russian's unwillingness to attend a conference devoted solely to reparations. Indiana KKK Strong TO MEET DEMAND: cU' Must Determine 'Kind of Students' To Accept--Ruthven Because the demand for education will continue at its present rate for the indefinite future, the University must determine the "kind of stu- dents" to be accepted, President Alex- ander G. Ruthven told 200 newspaper men and women at the opening meeting of the University Press Club convention last night. Attendance a 'Right' Attendance at the University is a 'right" for Michigan residents and a "privilege" for others, President Ruthven said, but added: "The opportunity to mingle and be- come acquainted with people from other parts of the United States and the world is an important educa- tional valme." Based on University experience, all qualified Michigan residents should be accepted, with 35 per cent of the student body composed of non- residents including five percent from foreign countries, President Ruthven said. Should Pay Cost He asserted that "out-of-state stu- dents should be called upon to pay or at least a substantial part of the cost of their education." Defining the immediate goal of ed- ucation as teaching the meaning of democracy "at home," President Ruthven listed these problems which the University must solve: Bonus Applications Not Available Here Despite conflicting reports in other publications, the applications for the state bonus for veterans are NOT available as yet, either at the County Clerk's office or at the Veterans Counseling Center. 1. Teaching must be given a re- spectable place among the profes- sions. Citizens must learn to pay the cost of making ideals effective. 2. Classrooms, laboratory space and dormitories must be increased. 3. Teachers must review their work in the light of new conditions and faculties restudy curricula to make sure instruction is contribut- ing to the development of world citi- zens. 4. Liberal education must be given more attention and the growing ten- dency to early and excessive spe- cialization checked. Three Seats In Congress Still Uncertain By The Associated Press Winners of contests for one House and two Senate seats remained uncer- tain last night (Thursday). Demo- crats held narrow leads in unofficial returns. It appeared that the official can- vass might be required, however, to determine who won in the contests between: Senator Harley J. Kilgore (D) and Thomas Sweeney (R) for senator from West Virginia. Herbert O'Conor (D) and D. John Markey (R) in the Maryland senate race. . Rep. Walter K. Granger (D) and David J. Wilson (R) for the house seat from the first Utah district. Senate-Republicans 51, Democrats 43. House-Republicans 246, Demo- crats 187, American-Labor one. Idea Termed Fantastic In Washington President Adopts 'Dignified Silence' By The Associated Press WASHINGTON, Nov. 7-President Truman brushed aside as fantastic today even the possibility that he will resign to turn over the presidency to the victorious Republicans. It can be said unqualifiedly that he not only intends to stay on the job, but that he is making plans for his administration under the changes brought by Republican control of Congress. That he has not even toyed with the idea of quitting is confirmed by everyone who has talked with the President since Tuesday's Republi- can land slide. Newspapermen Agree This is the firm view expressed by everyone who knows the President in- ;luding newspapermen who have fol- lowed him since he entered the Whte House upon the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt. The idea of resignation was voiced by Senator Fulbright (Dem., Ark.). It would involve the appointment of a Republican secretary of state immediately preceding the resigna- tion, enabling the appointee to suc- ceed to the Presidency. Fulbright repeated, however, that he will introduce in the new Congress a constitutional amendment to per- mit a quick change in the event of another such power split. Resignation Legal The resignation plan, the Arkan- san told reporters, was merely a sug- gestion for a quick way to deal with the current situation. He said there is no question as to its legality in view of the Constitution's mention of "resignation"- of the Chief Executive. As to procedure, he said the logical personto receive a resignation would be the president of the Senate, who normally receives electoral returns. "The country has spoken so de- cisively in the election that it is en- titled to have the Republican party in power and see what it can do," Ful- bright said. Suggesting that so far the party has had only the role of critic, he said the people should have a chance to "know in 1948" whether the GOP can develop a statesmanlike program of its own. Officially, the White House takes an attitude that the idea should not be dignified by cpmment. GOP Rushes Program Plans Steering Committees Set To Meet Thursday WASHINGTON, Nov. 7-(A')-Vic- torious Senate Republicans today or- dered a head start on whipping to- gether a party program and policy for the first GOP-dominated Congress in a decade and a half. Their steering committee goes into a huddle next Thursday. House Republican leaders already had picked the same day to start things humming in a steering com- mittee meeting of their own. But they saw prospects of trouble over parceling out election trophies. Senator Taft (Rep., Ohio) spoke in Chicago of trimming to $25,000,000,- 000 or $30,000,000,000 the budget for the year beginning next July 1. Presi- dent Truman's revised budget for the current year is around $41,500,000,- 000. * * * GOP May Reopen Pearl Harbor Probe WASHINGTON, Nov. 7 - (P) - Senator Brewster (R., Me.) said to- day that Republicans, now in the majority, may insist on reopening the Pearl 1Hrbor inuiviiaHt-o,,it~h a LOCHNER DECLARES: Nazi Chiefs Broke Own Law; Occupation Rule Undemocratic COSMIC RAYS: Scientists Devise New Machine To Study Atomic Nuclei Parts Lecture.. . The purpose of justice would have been served "equally well" if the Nazi criminals had been tried as violators of their own party law, according to Louis P. Lochner, in his address on '"The Nuernberg Trial." Lochner spoke last night in the third Oratorical Association lecture of the season. He pointed out that there were several categories of Nazi Party law on which all the defen- Interview .... The "dualism" in high authority existing in Germany as a result of having civil and military control in the American zone vested in the same commander is incompatible with U.S. attempts to democratize that area. This opinion was expressed by Louis P. Lochner, veteran of 22 years in Germany as a foreign correspon- dent, in an interview here yesterday. University scientists, no longer satisfied with being able to isolate the atomic nucleus, will now attempt to study the particles which make up the atomic nucleus. Research dealing with synthetic cosmic rays will be conducted at the University with the aid of the new "race track," a modification of the .,vnrhntrnnr av'aig a, ri1dnwvr a-n at almost the speed of light, of at least 300 million electron volts at the disposal of the scientists, multi- plying greatly the investigators' abil- ity to observe nuclear particles.
