IN EVERY HAMLET:
Touring Teachers Treat
State to Political Truths

'4ti

By ART BRAVERMAN
Name a town in Michigan, and
some member of the political sci-
ence department has been there.
From Ishpeming to Menominee
department members have been on
the job leading discussion groups,j
teaching courses for credit and
presenting lecture and radio series
in order to circulate their ideas.
PROF. MARSHALL Knappen,
coordinator of the department's
off-campus work since last Sep-
tember, reports that 130 newspa-
pers have subscribed to a weekly
column of background information
and pro-con discussions of current
public issues, prepared by political
science staff members.
Four department members
have participated this semester
in weekly broadcasts, presented
over station WUOM here and
station WOOD in Grand Rapids.
Political science instructors have
been active on national, state and
local levels as advisers, commis-
sion members and arbitrators.
PROF. JAMES K. Pollock, de-
partment chairman, is currently
serving as a member of the Hoov-
er Commission for reorganization

of the U.S. Government's Execu-
tive Branch.
'Eight credit courses offered in
Detroit, Flint, Saginaw, Bay
City and Grand Rapids under
department auspices don't tell
the whole story. Eleven Michi-
gan cities have played, or are
now playing host to a series of
six lectures on "Areas of Rus-
sian-American Conflict."
Current American foreign policy
has been the topic of eight-week
discussion groups, prepared by the
department in Fenton, Midland
and Grand Rapids.
NEARLY EVERY member of the
department has lectured some
place or other in the state, it was
found.
Humorous episodes sometimes
arise to liven up travel worries,
according to one of the mem-
bers.
One department member, after
a discussion of the implications of
the bi-polar world, called for a
question period.
A slight, timid, white-fiaired
woman raised her hand and was
recognized.
"Professor," she asked, "are you
really happy?"

Sigma Delta Cli Documents
Erase Blank Spot in History

A blank-spot in the history of
Sigma Delta Chi, professional
journalism fraternity, came to life
yesterday.
Chapter members discovered a
treasure trove of documents and
official fraternity equipment lost
for morg than eight years.
* * *
THE PARAPHIENALIA was
catching dust in an obscure shelf
at the Student Publications Build-
ing, weighted down with ancient
accounting books and blocked
from view by stacks of paper.

Found in the collection was
the oil can, traditionally given
away at the annual SDX Grid-
iron Banquet. Constitution,
G.
files, initiation lamps, receipts
for 1934 through 1941-when
World War II depleted frater-
nity ranks-were all there.
Only item still missing was the ,
SDX Chapter charter, the second:
in the nation. A state-wide search-
among alumni of the chapter will,,
be launched, fraternity officialaw
said.
