Affiliates Have Majority in 'U' Groups
______ ~~~~~~4 ____________________

Affiliated men and women hold
an average 77 per cent of the po-
sitions in 19 influential and hon-
orary campus organizations ac-
cording to a Daily check of mem-
bership files.
The survey, taken because of
the recent AIM-IFC electiontime
z ccontroversy, covered groups en-
gaging in a broad range of ac-
tivities and having various meth-
ods of acquiring members.
THEY WERE chosen either be-
cause they exert an influence on
student life or because member-
ship in them is much sought after.
Affiliated students, with 3,-
146 members, constitute 15 per
cent of the University's 20,618
enrollment.

SL Sets Up
Integration'
Committee
Group To Help
Foreign Students
By PETER HOTTON
Student Legislature last night
unanimously passed a resolution to
set up a Human Relations Com-
mittee as a part of the Michigan
Plan toward the elimination of
discriminatory attitudes and in-
ter-group friction on campus.
The Committee, conceived and
proposed by Legislator Tom Walsh
is to be composed of the presidents
of representative campus groups
and several faculty members. It is
designed to provide "a systematic
evaluation and development of
methods by which interested stu-
dents can broaden their knowl-
edge and understanding of persons
outside their own groups."
* * *
THE LEGISLATURE also unani-.
mously approved a report by the
Committee of 13 suggestions for
action by interested individuals
and groups to promote social con-
tact, the most effective method by
which to foster the purposes of the
Committee.
The suggestions provided
that: residences should be en-
couraged to invite foreign stu-
dents to dinner on a personal
acquaintance o r invitational
basis.
Organized houses should be en-
couraged to include one or two
foreign students at their "foreign
language tables" to participate in
foreign language practice sessions.
LANE HALL inter-cultural re-
treats and other group retreats
should be expanded, taking advan-
tage of the University's Fresh Air
Camp facilities.
"International tables" should
be established at the Union and
League where American and for-
eign students can meet infor-
mally.
Foreign students should be en-
couraged to participate in intra-
mural sports.
American students should be en-
couraged to form teams to play
soccer and other sports played by
foreign students here.
* * *
THE COMMITTEE suggested a
possible reorganizations of the In-
tramural Athletic League on an
all-campus basis where games
could be played between more fra-
ternities and independent teams
rather than on a strict housing
basis.
Better sportsmanship in these
intramural games should be en-
couraged by the winner invit-
ing the loser (or vice versa) over
for refreshments after the game.
A sub committee should work
with the International Center and
the University to develop better
mixed housing for foreign stu-
dents.
* * *
THE COMMITTEE will assist
the National Student Association
in developing tours of the mid-
west area for Michigan foreign
students.
The Committee also urged all
campus organizations to examine
their own activities with a view to
working with other groups.

WASHINGTON - President
Truman promised yesterday to use
the Taft-Hartley club in the soft
coal dispute-but only if an
emergency would arise and if
380,000 soft coal miners again
walked out at the end of John L.
Lewis' truce on December 1.
* * *
THE UNITED Mine Workers'
chief last week sent 'his men back
to dig coal for three weeks more
after a 52-day strike.
Mr. Truman, at his news con-
ferencg, ruled out appointment
of the kind of factfinding board
sident .he named in the recent steel dis-
e sour pute. It had power to recom-
mend a settlement outside the
labor law.
Turning to foreign affairs Presi-
dent Truman denounced as out
rageous the imprisonment of
American Consul General Angus
S Ward by the Chinese Communists
at Mukden.
HE HAD JUST spent 70 minutes
this morning reviewing with Sec-
.n Wash- retary of State Acheson the State
arrive in Department's developing stop-
Communism program for the Far
ed in the East.
Out of that meeting, to whch
Acheson took all his top . Var
esterday Eastern policy makers, came an
the Uni- announcement of projected ac-
tion in the immediate futuze.
'd that The announcement disclosed:
good- That Ambassador Philip C. Je-
States sup, Acheson's trouble-shooting
a frank diplomatic ace, will make an on-
an aid. the-spot survey of conditions in
dinner the Far East. He will leave the
hours his United States in late December,

ndence," turn home by way of India and

d hopes Returning to the domestic scene,
tion and President Truman told newsmen
ture." that his government budget for
uneasy 1950-51 will be a tight and honest
, already one, but inlicated once again that
an assis- he will call for a tax increase to
countries avoid deficit.
4,010,000 The President was asked what
he thought of a suggestion by
k-haired Senator Douglas (D., Ill.) that
eful of 4,500,000,004 be lopped off next
backing year's budget.
Why wasn't that done in the
last session, Mr. Truman wanted
L1IS to know. He said he sent Congress
a tight budget, but it returned one
.jid exceeding his figures.

Filch Giant
SlideRule
The supposedly extinct feud be-
tween lawyers and engineers, came
to sudden life last night when a
band of lawyers abscounded with
the engineers giant slide rule.
An anonymous lawyer phoned
Al Forman, publicity director of
the Slide Rule Ball, last night and
informed him that the slide rule
had been taken from the office of
the 'Technic' and was now at the
Law Club.
* * *
THE STUDENT challenged For-
man and all engineers to,.;"try and
get it."
An attempt was made last
year to nab the slide rule but
alert engineers nipped the plot
by posting guards in the 'Tech-I
nic' office.
In 1947, the lawyers were more
successful and held the slide rule
in custody for two days, then, a
group of 'vigilantes' from the En-
gineering College, discovered it in
a fraternity house.
"We'll have the slide rule back
by Saturday night, in time for the
Slide Rule Ball, if we have to
search every room in the Law
Club," Forman promised.

A Student Legislature commit-
tee will attemnpt to learn why
questions concerning race, religion
and national origin, plus requests
for pictures, should not be re-
moved from University entrance'

Meeting last night, the Legisla-
ture set up the committee to con-

versity schools over the questions
which "give persons belonging to
minority groups a feeling that they
are being discriminated against,"
according to Legislator Jim Jans.

THE LEGISLATURE was told
the University "highly favors" the
faculty evaluations made by stu-
dents last fall, and will continue
them again next spring.
The Legislature voted to set
up a committee to study possible
curriculum revisions and use of
a substitute marking system in

Another committee was author-

program similar to the Oxford
