r tir ^ r, w-,e% A DAILY NEW CIVIL WAR: Southern Walkout on Racial Problem Is Avoided by NSA By TOM WALSH Binging into agreement on the question racial discrimination in education the Negro and white delegates from the North and South was the toughest problem facing the NSA convention. The Chicago conference had ac- cepted an "equal rights and op- portunities" clause to hold the Announce Five New Additions To Psych Staff The psychology department re-' cently announced the addition of five new members to its staff.

A compromise resolution call- ing for "securing the eventual elimination of all forms of dis- criminatory educational systems" was initiated by the organizational representatives and passed by a sub-panel containing both South- ern Negroes and whites. But late that night a Southern white caucas repudiated this "ini- tial compromise." Some delegates could not accept it and the "solid south" stuck together. Southern Argument The Southerners pointed to the fact that they had already held inter-racial meetings and argued that such an NSA stand would alienate their campuses and pre- vent their supporting the NSA. Passing the initial compromise would mean that at least 10 Southerners would walk out. To accept the "equal rights" clause would break faith with the Ne- groes who would not walk out but whose schools would probably not support NSA. The executive committee met all night, finally sent two Ne- groes and two whites out to find a compromise, unanimously adopt- pd their suggestion and had it placed on the agenda ahead of the other alternatives. Compromise Reached The outcome was still uncertain. The idea of placing the "equal rights"clause in thehpreamble and the "discrimination" phrase in the by-laws was fully accept- able but the compromise also granted regional autonomy in ac- tion on racial discrimination. The Southerners contended this vas necessary to sell the NSA to thbir schools. Dramatically, continuations committee president Jim Smith presented the final amendment which read that NSA "will take action on national, regional and campus levels through the cor- responding organizations of NSA to implement its stated principles, with regard to ine legal limitations involved." - After a number of favorable speeches, Marvin Shaw represent- ing the Communist Party told the Southern Negroes that this was a favorable compromise they should accept. The annonymous cry "Then they don't need the help of your organization" broke the final tension. Moments later the convention voted almost unanimously. The Civil War was on its way out. Department of Zoology Adds Three to Staff } Reallocation of Space Curbs Overcrowding Addition of three professors and reallocation of building space is helping the zoology department' stay abreast of enrollment "that has seen no let-down in the past two years," Dr. George R. LaRue, chairman of the zoology depart- ment, revealed yesterday. Dr. Alfred M. Elliot has been appointed assistant professor in charge of the general zoology course; Dr. Paul A. Wright and Dr. Norman E. Kemp are new instructors of zoology. 'Tight for Space' "Dreadfully tight for space," the department is converting a stor- age room into a research labora- tory for five graduate students, a dark room and smaller room will become an office and another research room will be set up on the fourth floor, according to Dr. LaRue. Dr. Elliot received his B.S. de- gree at Yankton College in 1928, his M.S. at Neva York University in 1931 and was awarded his Ph.D. there in 1934. He has studied at the Marine Biological Laboratory, Mass., Stanford and UCLA. His last position, at State Teacher's College, Bemidji, Minn., was that of professor of biological chemistry, director of the colllege health service and assistant to the President. Bates Graduates Dr. Wright received his B.S. in 1941 at Bates College, and his M.A. and Ph.D. at Harvard in 1942 and 1944. His last position was an instructor in biological science at Boston University. Dr. Kemp is another graduate of Bates College, '37, and was awarded his Ph.D. at University of California, Berkley, Cal., in 1941. During the 1946-47 semes- ters, he was an instructor in the biology department, Wayne Uni- versity and in the summer was an instructor in the zoology depart- ment at University of California. 1,800' ,Driving Permits Issued Some 1,800 driving permit ex- emptions have been issued by the Office of Student Affairs during the last ten days. Scores of students still apply- ing for permits are expected to push the final total past the for- mer peak of 3,600 reached last year. Large numbers of student drivers are also expected to com- plicate the parking problem which was already acute during previous semesters.] 'Ensian Urges Seniors Sign For Pictures Appointment applications for senior pictures for the Michigan- ensian can be made today at any of the 'Ensian's campus booths, by all seniors expecting to graduate in February, June or August, 1948, Buck Dawson, 'Ensian managing editor, an- nounced yesterday.

Prof. Arnold Publishes Text On Plant Life In response to a need for a textbook for paleobotany, Prof. Chester A. Arnold of the botany department has written "An In- troduction to Paleobotany," pub- lished this month by the McGraw Hill Book Company as one of their series in botanical sciences. Paleobotany, FPor. Arnold ex- plained, is the study of fossilized plants. Just as paleontologists study the evolution of animals by correlating fossilized bones of geologic eras, so paleobotdnists study the evolution of plant life through fossil plant remains of past eras, he said. A lack of previous study, how- ever, and the comparative rarity of complete fossilized plants, ne- cessitates collecting knowledge from detached pieces of evidence such as a single leaf or acorn, rather than a whole tree, Prof. Arnold pointed out. Our knowl- edge of the history of the major plant groups, then, is relatively incomplete, he added. Although the subject can be treated as either botany or geol- ogy, Prof. Arnold chose to write from the viewpoint of a botan- ist. The book discusses the evo- lution of plants from the simple algae to the more complex flower- ing plants. The last chapters, summarize the subject with flora placed in their geologic eras. Even after a record week of student placement in part time jobs, the demand at the Univer- sity's Personnel Office still far ex- ceeds the supply of employment- minded students. Alfred B. Ueker, director of the office, said yesterday that al- thought an estimated 750 students have been placed since the start of the pre-semester rush, 75 open- ings remain unfilled. Unskilled Jobs Ueker, whose office acts as an intermediary between students and campus and private employ- ers, said that most of the remain- ing positions fall in the unskilled category - waiters and kitchen help-and bring pay of from 65 to 85 cents an hour. He emphasized, however, that there are still a number of higher paying jobs in University depart- ments and private businesses for students of more specialized abil- ity. Among these are sales posi- tions for women in local dress shops, jobs for gas station attend- ants, and openings for several ex- perienced court reporters. Calls for a window displayman for a local store and for a registered pharmacist also remain un- answered.

Michigan Bell We Former Telephone Operators to Ann Arbor Iconies I 'I JJ ss 1~ 4 A I 4 A .4 .4 1 WE'RE mighty proud that many students here at the University are girls who have worked as operators in telephone offices. If you are one of them, we want you to visit us at the telephone office here. We want to meet you so we can welcome you personally to Ann Arbor. For after all, every former telephone operator is still a "telephone woman" to us. If you would like part-time employment while you're attending the University, we may be able to work out a schedule that won't interfere with your classroom or study periods. We already have a number of college students who work part time and they find our lounge room ideal for studying and our employees' cafeteria a convenient place to eat. The telephone office is just 21/2 blocks from the campus, at $23 East Washington street, which makes it mighty convenient to get to and from.
