TIE MICIG AN IAILY FRIDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1949 U I ____________________________ U I _ _ j MERCHANT'S WATCHDOG: Local Organization Keeps Tabs on Student Credit <--- I Is your credit good-or nil? Local merchants and profes- sional men pose this touchy ques- Uon daily to the Ann Arbor Credit -Bureau, a veritable fountain of information about the city's con- sumer public. t F Ann Arbor office is affiliated iith 1,475 nationwide bureaus under the Associated Credit Bureaus of America. * * * OFTEN TABBED as the "eco- homic police of the community," Bureau staffers compile statisti- cal data on students and towns- people and file them in report Form. These reports are furnished city creditors upon request, en- 4abling them to decide whether or not a particular credit appli- cant is a good investment. Established here in 1924, the Delegates Tell. Of Work Done At NSAMeet (Continued from Page 1) belief in itself, and to be judged on academic ability by a panel of (iis fellow-teachers. Walsh also spoke of a student fights clinic next spring to which other Michigan schools would be invited. * * * SL PRESIDENT John Ryder 4poke on the acceptance by the Congress of the "Michigan Plan," Which prohibits any new organi- gation on a campus that has a discriminatory clause in its con- (titution. SL Member Leon Rechtman 'also spoke on discrimination, to- ward which the Congress was generally opposed. The Congress approved a resolution to provide for students to study out of en- vironments where they might acquire prejudice, and to.pro- miote fair educational process laws that would prohibit forms of institutional discrimination. Delegate Al Wildman told of the Congress' support of Federal Aid to Education. One project was to provide for a scholarship program, similar to the G.I. Bill of Rights, whereby scholarships would be awarded to a student not only ac- Cording to his needs, but that he would have the added advantage 6f choosing his own school and subject. Harvey Weisberg, former SL president, told the meeting in the closing report of the purpose and aoIvantages students have in being rriTirbers of National Student As- sociation colleges.

Sole sources of revenue for operation are the 219 local mem- bers of the Credit Bureau-Ann Arbor store owners, small shop- keepers and businessmen. Bet- ter than 50 per cent of city stores extending credit belong to the Bureau, Barret said. Staffers have found the job of keeping up with civic affairs is no cinch. Every day they must check records at the Court House, City Hall and public utilities for infor- mation on divorces, building per- mits and whereabouts of migra- tory citizens. A LARGE VOLUME of credit is extended to students Barrett re- ported. Many of them have start- ed their credit histories in Ann Arbor, he added. During 1948, the Bureau fur- nished merchants complete re- ports on 21,298 -students and local citizens, he declared. ' Explaining the office's func- tions, Barrett emphasized that "we at no time classify or rate anyone." The Bureau neither rec- ommends nor rejects anyone- store owners form their own opin- ions of credit applicants on a fac- tual basis, he noted. * * * AND RATHER than oversell to a buyer whose income is reported by the Bureau to be in a "low" bracket, merchants usually decline the account, he said. Credit records are handed on wherever the individual goes. "As usage expands, a person's credit is sure to build up," Barrett ex- plained. Mixer To Be Held at Union A Union mixer featuring the music of Frank House and his or- chestra will offer something unique in the way of listening parties during tomorrow's Mich- igan-Northwestern game. Scheduled to start at game time, the mixer will be held in the North Lounge of the Union. Radios will be scattered around the room for those who wish to follow the game between dances. In addition, a large chalk board will be placed at one end of the room and the action of every play will be graphically, recorded as it comes over the radio. No admission will be charged for the mixer, according to Irv. Barill, '50, chairman. Fosler Elected Actuarial Head The Michigan Actuarial Club, at a meeting held yesterday after- noon, elected Howard Fosler, '50, president for the current academic year. Other officers elected were Wil- liam V. Houke, '50, secretary and Herald H. Hughes, '50, treasurer. Council members are, Roy Tofte, '49Grad., Peter C. Spoolstra and Hubert D. Peavy, '50Grad New Dorm Newspaper Coming Out Competition in the field of pub- lications will become even more intense on Monday with the pub- lication of the first issue of "Harpy," an Angell House produc- tion. "Harpy," according to its staff, "is a name decided upon after a careful studs of the characters of a cross-section of Angell House residents." This study, added to the inspiration produced by the dormitory's name, brought forth the title-"Harpy." LYNNE STARR, a reporter on Harpy's staff, is confident that "Harpy will be more than just an- other dormitory newspaper; it will be of interest to the whole campus. Added to the usual dor- mitory news will be editorials and poems concerning all women's dormitories. Printing and advertising will add a professional touch to the publication. Harpy's staffff is hopeful that this will be the beginning of a popular newspaper, not only for Angell House, but also for all the other women's dormitories on the University campus. * * +* "THOSE SMALL, but interest- ing pieces which are too unimpor- tant for the big campus newspa- pers will not be too unimportant for "Harpy," Miss Starr said. Although most of the cost for printing "Harpy" is being paid for by its advertisements, a nominal fee is being charged those who wish to subscribe to the tri-weekly publication.

Owls have other talents beside their ability to see in the dark. They are as swift as swallows in flight, and as sensitive to sound as a radio receiving set. Black robed, white wigged fig- ures crying "~oyez" marched through the Law Quadrangle this week while the Bailiff's Englishl bell clanged ominously. The Barristers Club, senior hon- orary society of the Law School. was once again seeking new blood. * * * EIGHTEEN INITIATES, with hands bound, joined the proces- sion as it moved from the Lawyers Club to the Library and then to Hutchins Hall, where the captives' listened quietly as the Chancellor read the creed. Originated in 1902, the Bar- risters adopted their name from the old English barristers who once held powers similar to those of the American Bar Asso- ciation.

Students will bare arms for in- fluenza shots next week when Health Service begins its second barrage to keep the campus epi- demic free. According to Dr. Thomas Fran- cis, professor of epidemiology, the vaccine currently being used gives protection against flu virus A, B and A prime. "These three types cover the range of strains of flu virus that have been encountered," he explained. *V * * DR. FRANCIS, who is recog- nized as an outstanding authority on influenza in the country, said fundamental studies in protection against influenza have been con- ducted for the past eight years by the Commission on Influenza of the Army Epidemiological Board, of which he is director. The vaccine was prepared by growing the flu virus in fertil- ized eggs and then concentrat- ing the virus in the fluids sur- rounding the embryo. IN 1943, a study of the effect of the vaccine in army personnel on this campus and other universi- ties proved it capable of includ- ing protection against flu A. Un- der similar conditions in 1945, the vaccine was effective against flu' B. However, in 1947, the same vaccine gave no protection against flu A prime, according to Dr. Francis. "Since then," he said, "the additional strain has been added to the vaccine." Dr. Warren Forsythe, Health Service director, also strongly ad- vised students to take advantage of these injections as a precau- tionary measure against flu. This year the students will not have to take their injections in al- phabetical order, according to Dr., Forsythe. 116 North Fourth Ave. Opposite Court House Phone 2-2549 Assets Over $12,000,000 h V. in Ann Ar 508 E.
