ROTC To Aid SL Elections S t u d e n t s receiving remedial training for defective speech at the University's Speech Clinic can thank the Student Legislature for making the service possible. It was largely through the SL's interest and effort that the Clinic was transformed into the practi- cal aid to human adjustment it is today. * * * LAST YEAR the main student function of the Clinic was to test Freshmen during orientation week, and then report the results to Health Service. Prof. Harlan Bloomer, director of the Clinic, explained that because the group didn't have enough funds to hire a speech consultant, only 20 stu- dents were treated for their speech defects last semester. However SL recognized the need for more help at the clinic. A conference between an SL re- presentative and Provost James Adams resulted in a larger ap- propriation for the group this year. Many of the students now tak- ing the free course at the Clinic were directed there by speech ex- aminers during Freshmen Orien- tation Week. Others applied at the Clinic for help themselves. Prof. Bloomer reported that though the speech Clinic now can accommodate only a portion of the speech handicapped men and womnen enrolled at the University, it hopes to expand its facilities to include all students who need the service.

MILLER'S CAFETERIA 211 South State A DAILY PICTURE FEATURE Story by Rich Thomas Pictures by Bert Sopowich, Roger Reinke and Malcolm Shatz '25 Vacancies To, Be Filled by Elcto When all-campus elections take place next Monday and Tuesday, 25 students will be selected from the 57 candidates to serve as your representatives on the Student Legislature. Just what is this Student Legislature? where has it come from? what has it done? what will it do in the future? The following sketch is offered to help answer some of these questions. The last query, however, is one that will be answered next Monday and Tuesday at the campus polling booths. It is only through active interest of the student body, expressed in terms of a large election turnout, that the most qualified candidates can be elected to the SL, and that the SL can have h future at all promising. * - * * * DESPITE A SHORT and checkered past, the Student Legislature today is a powerful body with the respect and interest of most Univer- sity administrators and students. Winning this respect was no easy task; because student government on campus has been traditionally viewed as a lacka- daisical, do-nothing group. By dint of hard work and fertile thinking, however, the SL has risen to a high place in campus affairs. Faculty evaluation, for example, is the product of several months work of an SL sub-committee and requires many hours of administra- tive work each semester. * * * * ONE OF THE SL'S first undertakings, in the late fall of 1946, resulted in the idea of the Phoenix Project. The Legislators, in casting about for a suitable war memorial generally agreed that a living memorial, something useful, would be best. During their negotiations with the administration and groups throughout the country for an acceptable idea, Fred J. Smith, New York magazine publisher, suggested a peacetime atomic research project. The idea was quickly adopted and after nearly four years of ground work the Phoenix Project fund drive, began this)all. LAST SPRING the SL took over a major portion of the work of calendaring campus events from the Student Affairs Committee. Legislators hope eventually to be able to assume complete responsibility for calendaring, bringing the regulation of student events under stu- dent hands. The removal of tennis court fees last spring was brought about largely through the efforts of the SL's Varsity Committee. SL sponsors the Michigan Forum, a committee which brings prominent speakers to campus to debate controversial topics. It also sponsors student debates on current campus issues. * * * - ALTHOUGH student governments of pre-war vintage performed many similar functions, it is doubtful that any of them reached the stature the present SL enjoys. The history of University student government goes back as early as May, 1906. Minutes of a University Senate meeting at that time disclose that President Angell asked for and got approval from the Senate to authorize a Student Council. This Council regulated customs, rallies, ceremonies and ruled in general on all phases of student behavior not covered by University regulations. * S s s THE COUNCIL did these things, that is, In between the consti- tutional reorganizations which disrupted student government with alarming regularity. No less than 13 major constitutional amendments or com- plete new student governments have been instituted in the 44 years since 1906. Between 1906 and 1921, four major constitutional reorganizations occurred. * * * * BY 1934 THE MEN, to whom membership in all-campus govern. ment had been restricted thus far, evidently decided the women's touch was needed to stabilize the situation. For in the spring of that year, the women were allowed to sit on the newly formed Undergraduate Council, composed of repre- sentatives from all major campus organizations. This epic change came just 15 years after the country had given national suffrage to all women citizens. Evidently enfranchizing the ladies only worsened matters, for the Undergraduate Council had met but a few times when studies of the student governmental organization were again undertaken. The upshot of these studies was that in the fall of 1935 the women were again disenfranchized and the Undegraduate Council was dissolved. In its place a Men's Council was established. THINGS HAD REACHED such vacilating straights, that the late Dean of Students Joseph A. Bursley, in his annual report to the president in 1935 wrote "How long it will be before this Council is supplanted by another of different form, only the future can tell." That "future" told almost at once, for in the fall of '38 the constitution was again amended and in '39, the Men's Council. dissolved itself and established the Men's Judiciary Council. From 1939 till April 1946, the campus had no representative legislative body. * * * * THEN, WITH THE end -of the war, came /a renewal of interest in campus affairs and the present Student Legislature. Having just completed their most successful year, Student Legisla- tors are looking forward to an even better year in the one at hand. With such projects as the SL Cinema Guild, Thanksgiving Holiday, Homecoming dance, pep rallies, the annual freshman-sophomore Tug Week and World Student Service yund direction already on the fire, the Legislators' aspirations may be realized. But it is only through the continued and ever increasing support of the student body that the Legislature's aims can become fact. It's YOUR Student Legislature; back it up by voting next Monday or Tuesday for qualified candidates. l U STUDENT LEGISLATOR DAVE BELIN, '51, CONTEMPLATES THE PRINCIPLE AIM OF THE SL'S THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY PLAN--A HOME-ET TURKEY * * s * For the Music Major on your Christmas list - give a Musical Gift from LYON & HEALY a t ..
