Pedges Return Egg wih
Gov. Williaiis' ' Haticoek'

breakable ovum and a card ex-'
plaining their instructions, the
dungaree-clad duo were hustled to
an outgoing highway by their Phi
Sigma Kappa actives with a word
of warning:
"Bring back the egg adorned
with the governor's signature
and a photograph of him sign-
ing-or else!"
After a quick briefing, they took
to the open road via "educated"
thumbs-their thoughtful supe-
riors had seen to it that they were
financially stripped, down to the
last red cent.
"WE HAD TERRIFIC luck, even
minus our wallets," Bill McClin-
tic, '50, and Norman Pontius, '52E,
jointly echoed.
Forced to trek the five-mile
jaunt from East Lansing to Lan-
sing, the intrepid pair reached the
governor's home, only to discover
from Mrs. Williams that he was
still at his office.
After explaining their two-
fold mission to a startled Capi-
tol guard, the exhausted men
found themselves face to face
with Gov. Williams.
"He complied with our requests
smilingly," asserted McCli n tic,
"and he didn't even bat an eyelash
when we asked him to replace his
four-in-hand with a more .Wil-
liamsish bowtie."
AFFIXING 11S signature to the
egg, Williams commented, "I've
signed my name to lots of things
but this is the first time I've
ever written it on an egg."
Members are now planning to
remove the egg's insides and
mount the object in a glass ease.
The snapshot of Gov. Williams'
signing the egg will be blown up
to dimensions of 1 ft. by 2 ft.
and retained as a house trophy.
"In memory of a fantastic
scheme which shows what a little
perseverance can do," McClintic
and Pontius both agreed.

Goes nehore
Legislature
A bill to curb educational dis-
crimination has been introduced ,
into the State Legislature by Sen-
ator Charles S. Blondy of Detroit.!
It was written by Leo Weiss, a
law student here, and was basedt
.,n the Fair Education PracticesI
Act of New York state.
THE BILL would set up a five-1
member commission to receive and!
investigate unfair educational
practices, and work for their elim-'
ination.
The bill defines as educa-
tional discrimination:
Denying or limiting the admis-
sion of, or otherwise discriminat-
ing against any person or group
because of race, religion, color, na-
tional origin, or ancestry.
Having racial or religious quotas
for admission.
Requiring a photograph or other
information concerning race, re-
ligion, from any person seeking
admission.
Discriminating in the use of
scholastic, extra-curricular hous-
ing, eating or other facilities be-
cause of racial or religious origin.
Permitting use of its facilities
to organizations which do discrim-
tate in their membership.
TIHE LAW would not apply to
religious, denominational or dis-
tinctly private institutions unless
they are tax exempt.'
It would require institutions to
keep records of the reasons for
admissions and rejections for a
period of five years.

THE BETTER THINGS...
Students Swell Enrollinent in Fine Arts

By ELIN COVIOIN
University students. shopping
around for sound post-war values,
are being drawn more and morel
towards the arts, according to
Sidney M. Kaplan, of the fine arts
department.
Kaplan offers this as a partial
explanation of the t reimenclous in-
crease in literary cllege situden ts
enrolled in fine arts courses.
UNIVERSITY ART enthusiasts
have grown from 740 in 1946-1947
to 900 last year. This year they,
reached the high mark of 1330.
The art registratien for this spring
semester alone tops the total fi -
are for three years ago.
Kaplan interprets this artis-
tic gravitation as a symptom of
student dissatisfaction with can-
temporary cultural standards. Ile

said that they are anxious to
find a way of life that it not
tied up with inflations, depres-
sions and wars.
Studio art work has therapeu-
tic value, according to Gerome
Kamrowsky of the art college,
"There is a divorce between the,
emotional and inicl'ectual in the
modern world and art is the link,'
he said.
INDIVIDUALISM suffers in
these mechanistic times, especially
during a war period, and the surge
forward in art is a development of
the urge for self-expression, Kam-
rowsky added.
Prof. George II. Forsyth,
chairman of the fine arts de-
partment, believes that students
have found a "visual approach

to the problems of values" in
art. He said that students are
starting to participate in the
artistic process and are enjoy-
ing it.,
Many students think instruc-
tion in are necessary for a liberal
education. Said one coed: "I just
wouldn't feel educated without it."
OTHERS FEEL that "sitting in
an art lecture is like going to the
movies-it's a kind of escape."
For many it is "fun."
Students taking studio work ap-
preciate the opportunity they have
to express themselves. One student
said she was "tired of working
with words and numbers." She
wanted to "do something with the
hands."
