FOUR THE MICTXNN DMXIL - SATURDAY, JANUARY 7, 1950 _. . r I ________________________________________________ I I CED Stands Fast on Bias Accusations Applications still Under Question The Committee to End Discrim- ination yesterday stated that it will continue its drive for the re- moval of discriminatory questions from Medical School application blanks. "The Medical School more than any other has been the target of accusations of admissions dis- crimination," the Committee said in a policy statement. "ON DECEMBER 13, members of the CED met with Prof. Wayne L. Whitaker.of the Medical School to inquire into the removal of re- quests for photograph, religion, nationality and former name if changed," according to the CED. Prof. Whitaker said, "All these questions might be deleted without immeasurably hamper- lng the work of the admissions committee." The CED's statement declared "It is the duty of this University as an educational instiution to take the lead in eliminating any suspicions of admission dis- crimination, which will continue to recur so long as these ques- tions appear on the admissions applications. At its meeting last night, the CED endorsed the mobilization of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, to be held January 15 to 17 in Wash- %ington. Leon Rechtman, CED Chairman, will attend as a rep- resentative of the Committee. A PROPOSED constitutional amendment, previously tabled, was withdrawn last night. The amendment would have barred from the CED all organizations whose constitutions contain dis- criminatory clauses. Next Friday's meeting of the CED will be an election meeting. Rechtman urged all members to attend. Petitronmg Opens For Men's Judic Eligible men wishing to serve on Men's Judiciary Council may pick up petitions Tuesday and Wednes- day in the Administration Build- ing, according to SL cabinet mem- ber Hugh Greenberg. Three positions are open on the Cotecil which deals with men's cases of infraction of SL rules of conduct as well as cases referred to it by the University subcommit- tee on discipline. Research Members Receive Shots -Daily-Ed Kozma RECEIVING INOCULATIONS - Prof. Robert Hall looks on as Prof. Richard Beardsley receives one of many shots required for their forthcoming expedition to Japan. Administering the inocu- lation is Dr. Thomas Francis, of the School of Public Health. Profs. Hall and Beardsley are mem- bers of the research group sponsored by the Center for Japanese Studies. *rop, *av*o n*n*r, Grup to Leave f or Ja pan in Februar y By INGE WOLFF The Center for Japanese Stud- ies is completing plans for the departure of the first group of research workers scheduled to es- tablish a field center. in Okayama, Japan, The first four members of the faculty staff and graduate stu- dents are scheduled to leave early in February. Included in this group are Prof. Robert Hall, of the geography department, direc- tor of the Center, and Prof. Richard Beardsley, of the anthro- pology department. ROBERT WARD of the political Ann Arbor Alain Places Youth On 'Jiior Junction' Program Ann Arbor boasts 'an unusual crop of teenagers. For the second time in three months a local boy has been cho- sen as the unusual teenager of the week to appear on the coast to coast radio program "Junior Junction." ROY WAGGONER, son of Dr. and Mrs. R. S. Waggoner, will be interviewed on the American Broadcasting Company show as this week's "junior you should know" at 10:3'0 a.m. today from the WHRV studios. Roy, who is 15 years old and and is in the tenth grade at Uni- versity high school, plays basket- ball and tinkers with the radio in his spare time. His chief hobby is model plane, building. Last year he was chosen to represent Michigan at the opening of Idlewilde Airport in New York where international contests and exhibitions of model jet engines and reciprocating planes were held. Roy placed seventh out of 150 contestants in the reciprocat- ing plane divisions. Several months ago Tom Cameron of Ann Arbor was chosen to appear on Junior Junction. Parley Postponed The Democracy In Education Conference scheduled for today and tomorrow has been postponed to Feb. 25 and 26. Students from several Michigan colleges attending the conference will exchange techniques used by liberal campus groups. science department, and John Eyre, graduate student in geogra- phy, will also go, taking members of their families with them. Supplies ranging from 12 dozen clothes pins to two jeeps are being taken along,, as the group is required to furnish all of their own supplies. One of the major problems at the moment is the heating of the main' house and dormitory of the station, according to Prof. Hall. In Japan houses are heated through small metal braziers in each room, and the entire family huddles around those to keep warm, he said. .* * * ELECTRICITY is rationed in Japan so the group is planning to bring their own oil heaters. The oil will be delivered through a con- tract with an oil company, Prof. Hall explained. The people of Japan are very enthusiastic with plans for the research center, he said. The Center for Japanese Studies has been receiving letters from all parts of Japan offering any help needed. The scientists around Okayama have formed a, society to aid the group once it starts operating. Prof. Hall emphasized again the purposes of establishing such a station in Japan. "The first func- tion is to know everything about Japan," he said. "TO DO THIS, we are training a limited number of specialists on Japan."' But every graduate student, he continued, must first take his work in some department of the University such as economics or political science. The second function of the field branch will be to-get the inter- disciplinary approach to the ma- jor problems, Prof. Hall said. The homogeneous Inland sea region will be used for datum. Interdisciplinary teams will study various representative vil- lages, towns and cities and learn everything they can about the structure of Japanese society, he explained. Each research worker will then study some specific prob- lem of the impact of Western cul- ture on the people of the region and check his findings with other parts of Japan. Burial Not Fatal GARY, Ind. - The Michigan truck driver who Thursday night was buried beneath eight feet of water survived the mishap with no serious injuries. Sportsmen Gain Fame In WAA, IM Play in League Tournaments (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the sixth and last in a series of articles to acquaint students with some of the influential organizations on campusaand how members and of- ficers are chosen.) By PETER HOTTON Campus sportsmen have their places in campus affairs, and two organizations give the "non-pro- fessionals" a chance to shine in many sports. For the men it is the Intramural Program managers' staff, which handles, some 25 non-varsity sports including every sport -from pool to checkers five days a week. * *.* WOMEN'S ATHLETIC Associa- tion handles sports ranging from modern dance to lacrosse, for the feminine members of the Univer- sihy. The Intramural Staff includes six graduate assistants, two senior managers and six junior managers, who supervise and schedule all games in eight different leagues participating in the program. Each -League, including resi- dence hall, fraternity, faculty, in- dependent, professional fratern- ity, all-campus, International Cen- ter and co-recreational, plays through the season and then en- ters a league tqurnament, which pi ocuces a final winner. ANY STUDENT can join a team in any sport of his organization, as long as the povrs-that-be think he's good, and he usually stays on if he can keep on his feet. The six graduate assistants have sole responsibility for at least one league or activity, to see that it runs efficiently and that it wins out, if possible. Junior managers are trained to help keep the program running smoothly, working up to manager- ships of complete tourneys, until they are ready for the two senior manager's positions, who have charge of the entire setup under the guidance of two University staff men who act as program head and assistant. Staff positions are open to men who are interested in athletics. Junior managers and -graduate assistants are chosen by the pre- ceding board of managers after special interviews. The two senior managers are chosen the same way from the six junior staffers. Women's Athletics.. . Women's Athletic Association is organized to accomodate 20 sports, interhouse in three sports, Michi- ;ras, Tennis Ball and Lantern Night. Women's sports teams n~ay across sorority and independent lines instead of strictly within their individual leagues as in the men's program. Women's intra- mural play comes in tournaments in volleyball, basketball and soft- ball. * * * WAA BOARD positions include manager of each of the 20 sports and a cabinet of 12 women rang- ing from president to division managers in sophomore, junior and senior classes. Only seniors can be president or vice-president. Women are automatically mem- hers of WAA on entering the Uni- versity and eligible to volunteer for positions on any team. To get a post on the Board, a woman must petition the Board seniors and be interviewed for an appointment. Procedure is the same as for League appointments. OPTICAL SERVICE fqr the Campus Area CAMPUS OPTICIANS 222 Nickels Arcade Ph. 2-9116 FIRST HEARD BY MICE: 'U' Broadcasting Service Marks 25th Anniversary Two thousand mice were the first listening audience of the University Broadcasting Service, which will celebrate its silver an- niversary tomorrow. { The first Broadcasting Service studio was a long narrow room on the top floor of University Hall: In the adjoining room. 2,000 mice were harbored for use in cancer research. * * * * TO OVERCOME the bad accoustics, Prof. Waldo Abbot, director} of the Service since its inception, devised a tent made of artists' drop clothes. MERCY KILLER-Dr. Herman N. Sander, New Hampshire physician indicted for first de- gree murder in an alleged mercy killing, holds his cocker spaniel, "Taffy," at his home in Candia, N.H. Dr. Sander is now free un- der $25,000 bail, awaiting his trial. MSC Seeks Mlore Money 'EAST LANSING-(/P)-Michi- gan State College yesterday asked the Legislature for an appropria- tion of $9,505,830 for the 1950-51 fiscal year. The requested appropriation is an increase of $1,005,338 over the $8,500,492 asked from the Legisla- ture last year. Karl H. McDonel, Board secre- tary said at least $510,340 will be required to offset the drop in student fees. "There were times when we wondered whether or not our program was on the air, but we never had any doubts about those mice as we sat in the airless tent," Prof. Abbot recalled. The station used to specialize in one hour programs alternating four minutes by faculty members with musical selections. * * * * AT THAT TIME, with radio in its infancy, speakers and mu-.+ sicians could not conceive of the great speed of radio waves, Prof. Abbot noted. "Faculty members would often run from the tent studio to a receiving set in an adjoining room after they haui given their talk with the idea of hearing their words come back over the radio after they had been transmitted," he added In 1928 the studio was moved to Morris Hall, which has since been torn down to make way for the Administration Building. AT ABOUT that time WJR remodeled its studios and gave all its old junk to the University. A group of industrious students took this old equipment to pieces, put it together again and came up with a frequency modulation set and a control room. In 1948 after several years of University discussion and war- time restrictions the frequency modulation station WUOM was established and went on the air. . 4 El Final Gulai tiesTryouts Today Final tryouts for the Gulantics review, scheduled for late next month, will be held between 1 and 4 p.m. today in Rm. 3G at the Union. The turnout for previous tryouts has been very disappointing, r , according to Glee Club vice-president, Phil Steding. The Glee Club is one of the organizations which originated the Gulantics last year as an outlet for student talent. Prizes of $100, $75 and $25 will be awarded to the first, second. and third place winners, judged by audience appreciation when the final show is staged in Hill Auditorium. Steding called for all kinds of acts - not necessarily musical. 4 x 3 /1 2 W,,z 0 kk , I iir ii , !iii OR tik Fail* N=l Wr IM3Z&3aL62 F I 1 I MEMORIAL CHRISTIAN CHURCH (Disciples of Christ) Hill and Tappan Streets Rev.
