YAKE PROVES FAKE:'
Artist Deceives Public
With Life-like Creations

i

By MARY LETSIS
It takes a keen mind and a
sharp eye to spot the living from
he dead where the work of George
Marchand is concerned.'
As visiting artist and sculptor
n the University Museums, Mar-
hand creates deceiving flowers,
fossils and reptiles from plastic,;
wax and rubber materials for the
nany exhibits there.
"MORE THAN one person has
umped a mile after taking a look
at the two rattlers I have curled
up on the desk in my studio. It's
flattering, of course, but it also;
akes a lot of quick explaining to
eassure visitors they're only rub-
ber latex models."
The steps taken to attain
such a frightening life-like
quality begin with casting a
plaster mold from the living
Laves Places
Peace Hopes
On Schools
Long term hopes for achieving
world peace %rest upon schools and
teachers, Prof. Walter Lives of
the political science department
told more than 600 teachers certi-
ficate candidates at the education
school Convocation yesterday.
Although- the immediate crisis
must be handled by men in control
of UN governments today, tomor-
row's chances for maintaining
peace depend upon the youth in
school today, the former deputy
director general of the United Na-
tions Educational, Scientific, and
Cultural Organization asserted.
THE PRIMARY objective of the
schools today should be the teach-
ing of a sense of civic responsi-
bility and a will to participate in
the democratic process, Prof.
Laves asserted.
"This is called political lit-
eracy' and includes teaching
that the peoples of the world
are interdependent in achieving
p r o s p e r i t y and maintaining
peace.",
It also includes, he continued,
the concepts that certain basic
rights must be observed every-
where, that the UN is indispensa-
ble to peace, and that the peoples
of the world differ from each
other in values, religion, economic
systems, political beliefs and so-
cial organization.

snake itself, Marchand ex-
plained'
"I usually put them to sleep by
holding ether over their noses,
Then, I twist them into the posi-
tion I want aid pour liquid plas-
ter all over them, including their
heads. This doesn't bother their
breathing-they can hold their
breaths for a long time, you
know."
WHEN THE MOLD is removed
from the rattler's body, fine rub-
ber latex is then poured into it
and the resulting form shows
every minute detail from the
scales of the skin to the nostrils,
"The next step is painting on
their natural colors and putting
in beads for the eyes. The re-
sult, as you can see, is a pretty
creepy snake with glassy eyes.
And I can even wire them to
rattle-on special request."
The designing of extinct fossils
calls for detailed research to re-
constructthe many missing parts,
Marchand said.
"Only the hard shells remain,
because the inner parts don't last
through the years. So it's neces-
sary to copy these soft parts as
well as the coloring from the
nearest living relative.
THIS MICHIGAN fossil display
in the Museum will be shown at
1:30 p.m. Sunday on WWJ-TV
during the University Television
Hour.,
"Prof. Erwin C. Stumm and
Prof. Lewis B. Kellum of the ge-
ology department will discuss
these extinct corals, squids and
clam
Stable Prices
Expected Soon
If economic controls are well ap-
plied, there will be substantially
stable prices for the next six
months according to results of a
survey of consumer finances for
1951 just completed by the Survey
Research Center.
Prof. George Katona, program
director of the center, announced
that the survey shows that al-
though there is much inflationary
sentiment in the country, proper
controls will mean that large price
increases are not likely for the next
half year..
The survey was made by inter-
views with 2,800 people in 44 states.
This is the seventh such survey to
be made by the center. Results,
which will be fully released tomor-
ror will be sent to Washington for
the use of the Federal Reserve
System board of governors.

TRIBAL HEPCATS-Maizigamua "warriors" perform an Indian
cake-walk in front of President Ruthven's home before they in-'
stall him as honorary chief.
* * * *
Ruthven Made Honorary
MaiziganaChieftain
At noon yesterday, President Ruthven was named honorary chief
of the Maizigamua Indian tribe by 25 lipsticked and blanketed co-eds
in front of his home.
In a short ceremony, which was punctuated by feminine grunts
and tribal incantations, President Ruthven received a chief's war
bonnet and was dubbed "Chief Slayer-of-Trouble Soother of Woe
Great-Tears-Are-Wept That-You-Must-Go."
PRESIDENT RUTHVEN acknowledged the honors bestowed upon
him by the warriorette's saying, "Keep the home fires burning in the
wigwam."
The meaning of all the shenanigans was explained by one of the
tribe:
As a publicity stunt for the Maize team's forthcoming part
in Frosh-Weekend; April 27 and 28, the co-eds posed as a tribe
of Indians who had come to claim the land upon which the Uni-
versity stands. They asserted that the founders of the Univer-
sity had extorted the land for a ridiculously low price from their
ancestors.
When they got here, however, they liked the University so well
that they decided to let it keep the land, and as a symbol of peace,
made President Ruthven an honorary chief.
The Maizigamua's dance, "Make Mine Moccasins," will ,be held
April 28 at the League,

By CHUCK ELLIOTT
Milos Jilich, a student leader at
the University of Prague, was 19
days away from graduation in
1948 when the Communist admin-
istration expelled him from school,
forcing him to flee west.
Along with two fellow students,
he made his way into England.
Jilich immediately made out an
application to enroll at the Uni-
versity but there appeared little
chance of his getting through the
monstrous. amount of red tape
Golen Rules
Economics isistructors were
given a little advice the other
day In a lecture by Prof, Wil-
liam B. Palmer, of the econo-
mies department.
1. An instructor must get the
subject matter across to the
students rather than just get-
ting the subject matter out of
himself,
2. Of necessity, he must have
a sense of humor,
3. It is not enough that a
teacher know his subject mat-
ter; he must be interested in it
himself.
4. Clarity of objectives are an
important factor.
5. The tempo in the presen-
tation of the subject .matter
should be adjusted to fit the
majority of the student bodx.
8.An instructor must be able
to interpret and supplement
the text book material.

necessary to enter the United
States.
* *i * '
EKEING OUT a living by teach-
ing Russian in a girl's school and
washing dishes in a restaurant,
Jilich waited.
Today, he is enrolled in the
University, studying industrious-
ly for a BA degree, with plans to
enter the School of Business Ad-
ministration in the fall. And.
playing an instrumental part in
arranging for such a future was
the University Displaced Stu-
dents Committee.
They had handled the immense
task of making the transition to
A m e r i c a n university life as
smoothly as could be done.
* * *
IN MAY, 50 more DP students
will start to arrive in Ann Arbor,
before the pending tightening of
immigration regulations.
The DP's will have jobs and
housing waiting for them,
through the jint efforts of the
Displaced Students Committee
and the Ann Arbor Council of
Churches.
In order for the all-campus
committee to carry on its work,
and possibly to expand, at least
10 new members will be needed for
next year, according to Nancy
Porter, chairman.
PETITIONS are going out now,
she said, from Lane Hall and the
Student Legislature Building to
any interested student.
