Authorities at Michigan State
College have threatened to crack
down on students responsible for
raids Monday on the women's
dorms.
After pledges of a military so-
ciety staged noisy drills under the
coeds' windows last week, the
women retaliated by serenading
men's dorms.
Striking back, more than 500
men raided Mary Mayo Hall, a
women's dorm, with some reaching

Prominent a to m i c scientist
Ralph Lapp, has been named to
join Gov. G. Mennen Williams and
Prof. Rensis Likert, director of the
Institute for Social Research, in
the discussion entitled "Are We
Afraid of the Atomic Bomb?"
Formerly executive director of
the Research and Development
Board under Vannevar Bush and

THE "SURVIVAL of the fittest"
philosophy may or may not hold
true at Vassar College, but Prof.
Lewis S. Feuer and three of his
colleagues have lost their jobs for
advocating it.
According to Vassar trustees,
Prof. Feuer has carried out a
long standing feud with Prof.
Joseph Katz (who has survived),
a proponent of the "good life
governed by reason" theory of
Plato. Recently the two en-
gaged in fisticuffs over the mat-
ter.
The trustees announced that
Feuer has resigned and the con-
tracts of three professors who
stood behind him would not be
renewed.
YALE University students re-
cently dealt Boston book-banning
a sarcastic blow.
The vengeful students set up
the Jared Eliot exhibit, made
up of books banned in the Hub
city, strategically locating it in
the main library.
They reportedly got the best
turn-out of any library exhibit
since the curator had come to
Yale.
MEANWHILE, at the University
of Colorado an extension profes-
sor resigned after he refused to
sign the state allegiance oath. This
oath is similar to the Michigan
and California o a t h s which
pledge the professor to uphold the
state and national constitutions,
The professor, Paul J. Kermiet,
refused to sign on the grounds
that "such loyalty oaths encour-
aged an outmoded and dangerous
nationalism."
This is the first instance of an
instructor refusing to sign the
regulation teacher's oath. Kermiet
cannot work for Colorado with-
out signing. His courses have
been abandoned.

DRY LAND SAILORS-Members of the Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps moved their sea legs
into action yesterday when the entire unit moved to the drill field for the first of the weekly spring
time maneuvers. The midshipmen use the field directly east of the football stadium. During the
winter months they make practical use of naval theory in laboratories at North Hall.

The Daily recently displayed its
international appeal when it
turned up as a sunshade in Siam
and made its simple classification
of a "college newspaper" seem
somewhat inadequate.
In a letter to Daily cartoonist,
Bil Hampton, missionary Harry
Norlander, '49, related that he had
accidentally discovered one of
Hampton's cartoons displayed on
an apparatus serving as a sun-
shade on a building in Siam. Closer
inspection revealed the makeshift
sunshade to be a copy of The Daily.
* * *
NO ONE KNOWS exactly how
The Daily reached Siam, since the
circulation department lists no Far
Eastern addresses. Indirectly, it
could have been sent by a student
to interested parents or friends or
taken there by a traveling student,
Hampton conjectured.
Though The Daily is not of-
ficially sent half-way around the
globe, the circulation department
regularly mails a total of 300
copies to subscribers outside Ann
Arbor. Some of these are ad-
dressed to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil,
and Gaspe Peninsula, Canada.
The bulk of the out-of-city'
copies are distributed here in the
United States. New York is second
to Michigan in circulation with 20
Daily subscribers; Illinois and
Ohio have 18 and 17 respectively.
California is next highest with 13
recipients. Thirty-one other states
receive less than 10 copies each.
As an exchange service, The
Daily also sends papers to various
colleges and universities in return
for copies of their publications.
Almost 40 educational institutions
are reached in this manner.

Literary college seniors will cast
a straw vote this week to help de-
cide what will be the gift of the
Class of 1951 to the University.
Wally Shapero, '51, who is di-
recting the poll explained that
Prof. Preuss
To Talkon UN
Prof. Lawrence Preuss, of the
political science department, will
discuss "United Nations and Ac-
tion for Peace" at 7:30 p.m. today
in the Union in the sceond of a
lecture series under UNESCO-
Union sponsorship.
Prof. Preuss is an authority on
international law and was an ad-
visor to the American delegations
at both the Dumbarton Oaks and
the San Francisco conferences.
The international law expert's
talk will deal with the transfer
of power from the Security Coun-
cil to the UN Assembly, and the
gradual shift from global to re-
gipnal organization as exempli-
fied in the North Atlantic Pact.
ENSIDNS WILL BE

about 200 members of this gradu-
ating class will receive question-
naires concerning the method of
spending the class dues.
The questionnaire, according to
Shapiro, will ask opinions on gifts
ranging from rocks to lamp posts
and endowment funds.
- - -
T. HAWLEY TAPPING, general
alumni secretary, pointed out that
the class must not leave the Uni-
versity without providing some
funds to aid in carrying out the
class organization.
He explained that a class
which uses all its money for
gifts, banquets and other activi-
ties will usually fall apart as an'
organization when it leaves the
University.
"The first class letter which is
ordinarily sent out about two years
after graduation costs the class be-
tween $200 and $300," Tapping
continued. "These letters are used
to stir up class interest in reunions
which are held every five years.
"Then after 15 or 20 years when
the graduates are more firmly es-
tablished financially, they will be
in a better position to contribute
toward a gift for the University."
