Last Rites Classic Atmosphere Stump Speakers To Meet 4* - - - * By MIKE SHERER Somebody once said engineers don't know how to write or to speak in public, but there is a group of engineers, known, as the Stump Speakers Society, who will dispute that point. In fact, the group, formally named Sigma Rho Tau will debate about almost anything, and usu- ally win. Tonight, Sigma Rho Tau will hold a "rushing" smoker for any engineers interested in learning the lively art of debating at 7:30 p.m. in rooms 3K, L and M of the Union. * * * SPEAKING ON the importance of speech to an engineer will be Prof. Alfred H. Lovell, head of the electrical engineering department. Informnation on Sigma Rho Tau will be given to speech-con- scious engineers at the smoker. If they, are interested, they may become "pledges," according to Don Walker, secretary. Although there is no physical pledge training asin social fra- ternities, Sigma Rho Tau pledges. take part in debating contests and other society functions for one semester. FOR INITIATION the candi- date must give two public ora- tions, one two minute extempor- aneous speech before the West Engineering Bldg. and a two- minute planned speech from the "stump" behind the building. Ac- tive members make the pledge's job harder during these two speeches by'"standing around and heckling the orator.. To Be Held For Kello By The Associated Press Well-known philanthropist and manufacturer Will Keith Kellogg will receive the last respects today of the community which he made famous, Battle Creek, and the thousands w h o m his Kellogg Foundation have benefited. Kellogg, who died Saturday, was noted for his contributions to the University, among which is the Kellogg Institute for Graduate Dentistry, and his contributions to the public health school alone to- tal nearly $1,000,000. * * * INSPIRED BY Herbert Hoover's child welfare work, Kellogg was given impetus to found the Kel- logg Foundation to aid children of all backgrounds. This work led to scientific contributions serving not only children but also their parents. In Ann Arbor, Dean of thepub- lic health school H. F. Vaughn said, "In the loss of W. K. Kellogg, the children of this country have lost a good friend and one who had a sympathetic interest in their problems." W'HERE'S COOKIE?

Every year the Sigma ,Rho Tau has several debate engagements with women from Michigan State Normal College. By HELENE SIMON In a university as large as this, it's seldom that students get a chance to sit down and just talk about anything with their in- structors. , S* * * Among other contests, several times a year the Michigan chapter of Sigma Rho Tau sponsors debating contests with women students from Michigan State Normal College in Ypsi- lanti. Although tradition has it that women always have the last word, the Ypsilanti team have won only once in the past two years. On that occasion they were arguing the affirmative on "Should Wo- men Be Permitted the Right to Debate?" An annual function of the Michigan Sigma Rho Tau chapter is the Tung Oil Banquet, at which the outstanding senior speaker is awarded a cane which belonged to the late Dean Mortimer Cooley. t t Fast locks Dupe South South Quad is having troubles again-this time with clocks that are 10 minutes fast. "It's just one of those routine things that's inconveniencing some of the boys," Francis Shiel, Director of Service Enterprises, ex- plained yesterday. "Everything mechanical over there needs adjustment. It's to be expected in a new dormitory." * * * PETER OSTAFIN, resident di- rector of the Quad, said he thought it was "very sad" that the students should be inconvenienced. One South Quad resident ob- served, "If you synchronize your watch with the Quad clocks you're early to class, and if you synchro- nize it with campus clocks you're late to lunch." Socks Banished From Windows "Does a pair of argyle socks de- tract from the over-all Gothic beauty of the Lawyers Club?" This question arose recently when Dave Belin, '54L, was told to take down a pair of socks he had drying in his window. A maid found the offending argyles, red and yellow diamonds on a bright green background, when she en- tered Belin's room to clean it. She informed him that it was against a longstanding rule of the Club to hang clothing in the win- dows. Miss Inez Bozorth, director of the Lawyers Club, confirmed this, adding that a pair of stock- ings hanging in a window was not in keeping with the general appearance of the club. Belinwhose window faces S. University St. opposite the Presi- dent's home, was "surprised and amazed" when the maidrtold him of the rule. In his opinion, "they were good-looking socks, and even added to the appearance of the building." But he said he would comply with the rule, since he plans to remain at the Lawyers Club for two more years. t The Bullring, an organization' devoted to the cause of getting faculty members and students to- gether in an old-fashioned, So- cratic discussion over a glass of beer, provides that opportunity *' * * THERE COULD be no atmos- phere more opposite from a class- room's than the noisy, smokey in- terior of the Huron St. restaurant where the Bullring meets every Friday night. a Here and there celebrities and campus pedagogues can be found, partaking in the free dis- cussions. And now and then a raucous student voice pipes up. All in all, everyone admittedly. has a good time-that is, if you're 21 and can discuss on a reasnoable intellectual level. THE BULLRING was founded in the fall of 1949 by Prof. Austin Warren of the English department, and Prof. Carl D. LaRue, of the botany department, at the sug- gestion of Prof. Hayward Kenis- ton, then dean of the literary col- lege. Prof. Keniston felt that the 'lack of contact between students and faculty and between faculty of the various departments ne- cessitated. the club. Yesterday Prof. Warren explain- ed that the Bullring is "clear of political tones. It is not an organi- zation meant to help people move up in their departments." Stolen Clothes Foaund in B.ush More than half of the $50C worth of clothing stolen from twc cars parked in adjoining Univer- sity parking lots Saturday nighi has been recovered. An Ann Arbor garbage collectoa found all the missing women'. clothing, valued at $325, in the bushes across from the Unior parking lot yesterday morning. Still missing is the men's cloth- ing valued at $200. One car way parked in the Administratiol Building parking lot and the other in the Union parking lot. The thief gained entrance t< the cars by forcing open their vent windows. By MARGE SHEPHERD Phone Connections with the' women's dorms are worse now than last year, according to Leonard H. Schaadt, residence halls director. Three main reasons are respon-1 sible for the increased inadequacy Enrollment ll Increas es Add Facilities, New Instructors By JERRY HELMAN An increase in freshman enroll- ment in the University ROTC unit of over 250 per cent has resulted in an enlargement of classroom facili- ties and instructor personnel, ac- cording to figures released by the ROTC yesterday. The increased raised to 1428 the amount of students enrolled in the three divisions of the ROTC. Of these, 650 are freshmen, 271 sopho- mores, 257juniors and 243 seniors. * * * CLASSROOM facilities were en- larged by the addition of sections of the Temporary Clasroom Bldg., while 20 new instructors were add- ed to the ROTC family to handle the incoming cadets. Leading the way in total in- crease in enrollment and facili- ties is the Air Force ROTC which has risen in two years from the smallest of the three ROTC un-' its on campus to the largest. This year's freshman cadet class numbered 420 men, nearly a ten- fold increase over last fall. Classroom facilities in North Hall have been enlarged and, in addition, more training aids, desks, library facilities and lounge rooms have been added. * * * THE ARMY ROTC's total en- rollment figure, including students enrolled in the medical and denta ROTC programs, is 521 students which includes 188 freshmen. Both the classrooms and head- quarters of th unit have been moved to the TCB, with the Air Force and Navy ROTC occupy- ing its old quarters in North Hall. New facilities include a signa corp laboratory, a map reading room, and an enlarged rifle range which is used by all the ROTC units. Showing only a slight increase 0 in enrollment over last year, the o Navy ROTC now has 276 mid - shipmen. of phone service this year, Schaadt said. * * * FIRST OF ALL, the problem, he, said, is always worse in the fall. because people calling into the dorms often don't know the dorm or room number of the person they are calling. Some amen don't even know the name, and expect the opera- tor to locate a five-foot-two blond named Cookie. Although it takes only a few seconds for the woman at the switchboard to explain to the anxious male that she couldn't possibly know who the co-ed i,s when multi- plied by several times per night, a lot of time is wasted. Especially poor conditions pre- vail this year because only cane. experienced dorm switchboard'op- erator is left, and six new opera- tors on other boards than those handling dormitory calls. A de- lay in calls and an increased num- ber of errors result, Schaadt added. HOWEVER, this will be a tem- porary difficulty, he said, since the new operators are already get- ting accustomed to the new board. The third possible reason for phone troubles, Schaadt said, may be that since men of the South Quad have private phones in their rooms, they are mak- I ing more phone calls than they usually would. Although extensive research has been made by Schaadt and tele- phone technicians from Detroit, no steps to alleviate the situation have been taken as yet, A VOLUMINOUS amount of pa- per has been filled with statis- tics concerning the date and time of calls placed, the number of calls, to whom, how long the call took to be placed over the number of seconds it should have taken, and whether or not the call was completed. The decision, based on the3sta- tistics, is that the only effective remedy would be to have a phone in each dormitory room, as is the case in the new South Quad, he s said. 1 When asked if there were any , possibility of doing this now, Schaadt said that there are no definite plans to do so although all dormitories are entitled to equal service.

Operas to be given will be "The Brass Ring" by William D. Petter- son, and "Circus" by Edward M. Chudacoff. "The Brass Ring" is concerned with a barker, Sam, who must find a new leading lady - when Shaharazade quits his show. Jean, the girl he auditions, is dazzled by' the future Sam paints but finds it difficult to choose between the boy she loves and the wonders of life with a carnival. Chudacoff's opera, "Circus,'' which will occupy the second half of the program tells the story of a circus clown "tortured by the constant danger in which his beloved, a tightrope-walker, performs. When she refuses to give it up, he kills her in despera- tion. ONE OF FOUR such college posts in the country, the Univer- sity's AOA group is part of an or- ganization which has contributed much to the country's war effort in the past decade. One of the most notable con- tributions of the AOA in recent years was the development of the 3.5 inch bazooka which was credited with stopping the Com- munist Korean offensive by knocking out their Russian built tanks. The "miracle" of the 3.5 inch bazooka is that it wasndeveloped, put into production, and shipped to the front lines in twenty-five days. This was made possible by the combination of ingenuity and industrial know-how that the AOA is famous for. When an ordnance problem is presented to them by the Army, the AOA refers it to one of their committees for development. The speed and efficiency with which a solution is given has earned them the title of the 'Know-How Club.'
