Welcome
Mat for
Tryout Staff
T HE ROAD TO journalistic success, and to success in many another
field, starts at 420 Maynard St.
That's where a group of forward-looking students will gather at
4 p.m. today to learn how The Daily can offer them the most valuable
experience they'll ever get on this campus.
MANY A FUTURE newspaper editor, foreign correspondent and
writer will pass through the doors of the Student Publications Building
today, taking a hop, skip and jump toward success.
The present is proving the worth of Daily experience for a whole
army of former staffers. Stan Swinton, one-time Daily city editor,
now an AP correspondent in Cairo would tell you that. So would
Dick Maloy, ex-Daily worker now with the Baltimore Sun, Bob Gold-
man, Detroit Free Press correspondent, or Ralph Byers, newly appoint-
ed editor of the Ann Arbor News. And there are others.
This year The Daily needs tryouts for its editorial, sports,
and women's staffs. Photographers, too, are needed, along with
dra-ma critics, music, art and movie reviewers.
Most of the tryouts will undergo a short training course, learning
the fundamentals of proof-reading, headline writing, and reporting.
In a few weeks, the neophyte journalists wvill be ready for actual
experience covering campus and city news.
They'll be assigned beats and sent out to work and learn under
the guidance of experienced Daily reporters.

reporters.: Their second semester on The Daily makes them eligible
for jobs as assistant night editors or night editors, paying positions
to which they're appointed by the Board in Control of Student
Publications.
Thge night editor and the assistant night editor gain precious
experience in planning, makeup, editing and news judgment.
They are responsible for producing the paper one night each week,
wic involves editing local news stories and dispatches from the
From the junior staff, night editors can advance to the senior
staff, whose job it is to oversee the paper, assign stories, and establish
The Daily's policy. * *
MEMBERS OF THE women's and sports staffs advance in similar
fashion, passing through brief training periods which prepare them
for the work of those specialized departments, in time winning posi-
tions as sports and women's editors.
While a member of any staff, sports, women's, or editorial
any Daily worker, from tryout to managing editor, is eligible to
write editorials.
The Daily's only editorial policy is no policy in regard to opinion.
Editorials are accepted or rejected on the basis of writing alone-not
ideas.
Any student eligible for extracurricular activities is eligible for
work on The Daily.
THE DAILY'S photographic set-up offers invaluable training for
studenits interested in photography. With its new high-speed photo-
engraver in operation, Daily photog'raphers can take pictures at mid-
night, rush them to the Student Publications darkroom, and see them
in the paper the next morning.
This gives photographers a chance to shoot evening sports events,
lecturers, and a wide variety of campus events. Interested photogra-
phers should call Wally Barth, photography editor, 2-3241, or come
to the tryout meeting at 4 p.m.
/Other positions on The Daily are open for writers of political
analyses and record reviews, and for special writers.
One of the top college newspapers in the country, The Daily
boasts the best-equipped college newspaper printing' plant in the
nation." In its elaborate composing room, compositors lay out 60,000
column inches of advertising annually, making the paper a $100,000-
a-year business.
FOR THIS thriving enterprise-for the operation of the financial
and circulation departments of the paper-The Daily needs a large
business staff. Tryouts for this important part of the paper should
call Dee Nelson at 2-3241.
Another meeting for students unable to try out for The Daily
today will be held at 4 p.m. tomorrow in the Student Publications
Buildingg.

(Daily City Editor) ,,
"What happened to all our talented women?"
That's the plaintive question that Leon Jaroff is asking these days.
Jaroff, an engineering student as well as Managing Editor of 'The
Daily, is seriously worried.
"In the good old days we had a whole crew of talented women on
the staff, but now we don't, have any," Jaroff moaned.
After a sharp glance from senior staffer to Jo Misner, Jaroff
qualifie his statem e n ynh. .
SITTING AT HIS desk in the Senior Editorial Office, Jaroff held
a hurried consultation with Associate Editor George Walker, '50.
Walker handles The Daily's tryout training program.
"Do something, George," lie said.
Walker proceeded to write the "call" for tryouts which appears

Dean Ivan C. Crawford of the College of Engineering yesterday
expressed disappointment at Gov. G. Mennen Williams' failure to
include in the University's appropriations request $120,000 for im-
provement of the West Engineering Annex.
"Plans for remodeling space in the building, built in 1885, would
have been entirely for the benefit of undergraduate students, Craw-
ford said. "At present, both ventilation and lighting are a menace to
health and the wooden floor--worn through in several places-make
it a fire trap.",

LANSING-Gov. Williams yes-

gislature that it appropriate
$1,300,000 to Western Michigan
College, Kalamazoo, for extra
classrooms, saying he felt expan-
sion of the University of Michigan
was unwise.
Conferring with Legislative fi-
nance committees, Gov. Williams
declared he has been told by edu-
cators that the University's size
has made the school "too big". He
added that some students are now
being sent out-state for an educa-
tion.
THE STATE could set up a new
university or spend more money
on its junior colleges-that would
give the extra classroom space,"
Go. Williams remarked.
"Or we couud build up some
other school in the state, and
Western MWichigan may be the
answer. We've got to take the
stand now," he said.
University officials contacted in
Ann Arbor hung up "'no comment"
signs to Gov. Williams' state-
ments.

"It also means that the Col-

Midwest which receive support
enough to keep up with engi-
neering and scientific progress,"
he added.

The engineering mechanics
department, serving the entire

some available for a materials
testing lab.
A premium of office space in
the West Engineering Building has
necessitated setting up temporary
partitions in the Annex, making
adequate but very undesirable of-

that in remodeling this space the
offices would have been made hab-

and warning idle miners to remain away from their jobs.

they made no arrests. Spokesmen for one of the companies said 570

Cinese Made
~Poor Deal,'
Says Official
Treaty Called Copy
Of Other Alliances
By The Associated Press
Secretary of State Dean Ache-
son said yesterday thie Chinese
Communists made a poor and
dangerous deal with Russia in
their new 30-year "Friendship"
treaty of alliance.
Acheson termed it almost a
boiler plate copy of the pacts
Russia has made with Soviet satel-
lites in Eastern Europe.

ment in which Moscow reportedly
promised $300,000,000 in economic
aid to China over the next five
yas isonl he be~nginnin nhof
declared.
The Cabinet member told a
news conference that for a na-

of famine and facing tremen-
dous economic difficulties, $300,-

tance in any event.

IN LONDON observers reported
that a number of East European
nations presumably were forging,
in concert with Russia, a multi-
nmillion dollar trade pact with
Communist China.
The countries are identified
--besides Russia-as Poland,
Czechoslovakia and Finland,
which, while anti-Commnunist,
is dependent upon the good will
of neighbor Russia.
Meanwhile, the new alliance set
the Orient to wondering what the
Soviets get out osf it.
THE FIRST reaction in British
Hong Kong was that the an-
nouncement carried a lot of face-
saving for Red China. But no one
is saying what Russia got.
Chinese Nationalist leaders
on Formosa-perhaps most im-
mediately menaced-expressed
belief the Communists had
agreed to let Russia have secret
air and naval bases on China's
mainland.

in Tokyo were puzzled how the
alliance could be directed against
