I THE MITAN TWXY - S''r""XT, IURtARIWU, 150 EST ENGINE TOPS LIST: Special Grant Aids Fire Hazard Attack " ? * * * * Although it may sound like it t times these days, employees of lant Service are not razing the oof of West Engine; instead they re raising walls-in which to lace fire doors. This project is one of a series f fire precaution measures finan- ed by a special appropriation of he State Legislature in 1947 to liminate critical danger spots in hie University's fire protection ystem. BESIDES installing fire doors, ome $20,000 worth of fire alarm ystems have been put in 19 "in- lamimable" buildings. Among the roup are East Hall, Romance anguage and the Economic and harmacy Building. Plant Superintendent Walter Roth hopes to have fire alarm systems soon in all educational buildings of the University. Thirty-three of them, ones like .ngell Hall, Architecture & De- gn, Mosher-Jordan and Marthal ook are being considered for in- tallation. With the furnishing of systems, or the two women's dorms, there 'ill no longer be a University esidence hall sans these safety recautions. More fire escapes are also con- emplated. Building of them on oth Mason Hall and South Wing, ccording to Roth, is "imminent." But even though the entire ap- ropriation has not been spent et, it has more than paid its way lready. -Daily-Wally Barth WALL FLOWERING-Plant Service employees Casper Gramma-i tico and Ed Standish put up one of the fire door walls in West Engine. Grammatico slaps the bricks in place while Standish stands by on the ladder in the foreground waiting to hand him more material. * * * * Last summer, it was the alarm system installed in the General Library - with the appropriated funds - which gave the first ink- ling of a blaze in a remote section of the library stacks. Officials prefer not to think about what would have happen- ed if the system hadn't been in operation. But Roth did say, "Installation of the alarm setup at that time saved an amount far superior to the entire sum of the appropria- tion." SL Sets Up Photo Talk For Friday Student Legislature's varsity committee will sponsor an open meeting between Ann Arbor and student photographers at 4:30 p.m. Friday in the Union. The meeting is designed to en- able photographers to work out a plan for awarding picture-taking contracts at all-campus dances held at the IM Building, accord- ing to varsity committee chair- man, Bob Vogt, '51. POINTING OUT that the pre- sent system of having student dance committees award the con- tracts has resulted in "confusion" and charges of "favoritism," Vogt said the meeting "should bring about a closer understanding among the photographers and re- sult in the adoption of a sound contract policy in the future." The contract controversy flar- ed into verbal warfare between Ann Arbor and student photog- raphers earlier this year with both groups charging each other with attempting to wrangle con- tracts from student dance com- mittees. At that time, Bob Gach, owner of a local camera shop, charged that the present setup has led to exorbitant profits by photogra- phers,, duplication of contracts and alleged fraud because of the inexperience of dance commit- tees. GACH PROPOSED that SL adopt a plan which "would put control of the picture-taking more directly in the hands of the Uni- versity." Under his plan, lensmen would be paid by the dance commit- tee and students would receive from the photographer nega- tives which could be printed by any photo-finisher. In addition, the dance commit- tee would charge students a small fee for the photographer's serv- ice. Although Gach's plan met with some opposition from other pho- tographers, it was favorably greet- ed by members of the varsity com- mittee last semester. -rn-u Three hundred delegates from 10 universities and colleges the state of Michigan will participate in a "Democracy in Education" Conference Saturday and Sunday Annonnce Winner of German Contest Earl Graves, won the poetic test sponsored Club.

Latest inion Calendar Not 'Up-to-Date' Union student staffers appar- ently tripped over their own slo- gan when they published a campus events calendar designed to keep students "up-to-date." For the staff fell behind the times itself regarding several of the listings in the free four-page folder. GULANTICS, FOR example, was listed as taking place in April, but the affair will actually come off Feb.25. Union Opera was spread over five nights when it should have been three, March 29, 30, and 31. Other corrections place Hil- lelzapoppin on April 23 only, and the Senior Ball on May 26 at the Union. John Kathe, '52, who super- vised publication of the folder, said the University Calendar was apparently changed after the Un- ion's calendar went to press. Kerr To Address Journalists Here Walter B. Kerr, foreign editor of the New York Herald Tribune, will address journdlism students on "Soviet Union and the Ameri- can Press" at 3 p.m. tomorrow in Rm. B, Haven Hall.
