EISENSTAEDT and Bob Drew,
Life staff correspondent, traip-
sed around the med school, Uni-
versity Hospital, a med student's
rooming house and even a Uni-
versity-connected hospital in Bay
City, filling up every second of
their two-week sojourn, taking'
students' and faculty members'
valuable time without a squawk
about tight lab schedules or miss-
ing a class or' two. The story is
Eisenstaedt's fourth on the Uni-
versity.
Charmed b y Eisenstaedt's
technique, not even the most
hard-hearted doctor would re-
fuse to melt. He never tries to
browbeat his subjects, but "co-
erces" them to do whatever he
likes by flattery and steady con-
versation.
A persuasive personality is not
the only necessity for a photo-
grapher, as Eisenstaedt must often
contort himself into all kinds of
shapes and situations.
Of the lead shot in the article,
he confided: "I had to get that
bicture standing practically on
top of a cadaver."
MORE THAN 1500 pictures were
taken during the two-week stay,
and Eisenstaedt thought that "25
or less" would be used in the final
article.r

after he was on campus a day,

Stason Lauds
Great Britain's
Administration
Lists Advantages of
Foreign Systems
The United States can learn
much in the field of discretionary
powers from a study of measures
used in England and Western Eur-
ope, Dean E. Blythe Stason of the
law school declared yesterday.
Lecturing on "Some Foreign Ex-
perience" Stason continued with
the fourth in the current annual
Thomas M. Cooley Lecture ser-
ies.
"THE ENGLISH have gone very
far down the road of administra-
tive law, but they have provided
for two important checks against
-unwise use of this power, Stason
asserted.
"The Select Committee on
Statutory Instruments is simi-
lar to the Michigan Plan men-
tioned in the second lecture. It
reports to the House of Com-
mons any unusual or unexpected
use of powers conferred," Stason
said.
He pointed out that advisory
committees were also functioning
as a preventive checkagainst un-
wise administrative action.
"THE COURTS in such coun-
tries as France and Italy are in
possession of broad legal powers.
They can enforce the spirit in
which the law was written, as well
as search into the motivations of
particular administrative action,"
Stason explained.
"In Sweden the plaintiff has
free access to all documents con-
cerning his case, within the limits
of non-security material.
Petitions Due
For Activities
Student organizations planning
to sponsor major campus events
next year should submit petitions
to the Student Legislature calen-
dar committee before 5 p.m. today,
according to Arnold Miller, '50,
chairman of the committee.
"Each organization should l1st
two date preferences," Miller said.
"We will attempt to give each
group its first choice of dates," he
added, "but in cases of conflict
we will have to make our recom-
mendations on the merits of each
petition."

pods and other equipment, he
sometimes takes an hour or more
to set up his subjects, which
range in the article from piles
of books to live patients.
But once he gets his subjects
in the desired position, he buckles
down to business, sometimes snap-
ping the shutter as fast as his
finger can move.
Most of the time he keeps his
subjects in the same positions for
a dozen or more shots, changing
their positions only slightly or
moving his camera for a different
angle.

too much for Eisenstaedt to lug
up and down stairs and through
long corridors, so he put a set of
casters on its bottom.
"I am the only photographer
in the world who has rollers on
his case," he declared.
For all the equipment he car-
ries, Eisenstaedt only carries four
cameras, and he could get them
all into a typewriter case.
Life's object in running the
story, acording to Drew, is to tel-
escope four years into two weeks
to present a candid picture of a
University student in his journey
from his acception to the school
to his graduation.

SCENARIOS MUST be complete,
with spots for all songs, dances
and production numbers indicated.
A full sketch of all characters
must accompany all scenarios,
Ebersole said.
In addition complete dialogue
for at least two scenes must be
included, if the scenario is to be
considered, according to Eber-
sole.
"We are asking for dialogue in
order to get samples of each
writer's dialogue-writing ability,"
the Opera manager said.
He suggested that scenarios in-
clude situations which would pro-
vide plausible spots for big pro-
duction numbers.

SCENARIOS should be address-
ed to Union Opera and turned in
