THE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1951 f --Daiiy-L. WilC SELECT GENERATION COVER-John Goodyear, '52A, Genera- tion Art director, confers with Carol Kritchman, '52A, (center) and Ernie Winston, '53A, in examining entries for the Generation cover contest. The contest, which closes Friday, is sponsored by the student art magazine to select a cover design for the winter issue. According to Managing Editor Don Hope, '52, the design should be in keeping with the general contents of the book, "un- pretentious, un-'arty' and not keyed to the intelligentsia." Pots, Egyptiqns, 'U' Professor Figure in Fluted Vase Find THE CITY BEAT Fifty-seven acres of land next to the Huron Hills Municipal Golf' Course will be purchased by the city at a $17,000 option price. The property will probably not be converted into a golf course,, according to City Council mem- bers. Mayor William E. Brown, Jr., said the adjacent 18-hole course may be taken away from the city by the corporation leasing it. The University also has a "defiiite in- terest" in the golf course, Mayor Brown said, but "I don't believe it will take the land from the leasing firm although it has the right to." The Mayor said the property to be bought by Ann Arbor would be worthless if the University or the corporation took over the course. He added that the Council intend- ed to stage a bitter fight if such action came about. A new city fire station will be built on East Stadium Blvd., it became known yesterday. Purchase options of $7,000 for the four-lot site east of Pack- ard St. were signed yesterday, according to Roland Schmid, chairman of the Ann Arbor Fire Commission. * * * "I CAN'T SEE spending the tax- payers' money just to go along and be a good fellow," Alderman Wil- liam J. Saunders said at Monday night's City Council meeting. Nevertheless, the Council went ahead and voted to renew Ann Arbor's membership in the Michi- gan Municipal'League. Ald. Saun- ders, who voted against Ald. John S. Dobson's motion for continu- ing membership, said that League services would require more money than the annual $929 membership fee. But other councilmen replied that only city-requested services required spending extra funds. The proposal for the fee pay- ment will come up at a later Coun- cil meeting. Ald. Dobson's motion included only the membership re- newal. The Council's action had been defeated by two previous votes when money to pay the League dues couldn't be mustered up. Expert Views. Germ Warfare WASHINGTON - (P) - The army's top man in biological war- fare research said last night that it would be possible for an enemy to envelop a whole city in a dense smog of disease germs loosed from special bombs or shells. It seems likely, he added, that the percentage of the city's popu- lation which would fall victim to the chosen disease would be high. The speaker, Brig. Gen. Wil- liam M. Creasy, said "The poss- bilities are great" for a damaging biological attack on this country by that or other means. But despite his grim outline of what might happen he declared that the possibilities "are fright- ening only if we give way to panic or if we fail to insure that we are ahead of any other nation in knowledge and preparedness in this field." - LECTURE TOMORROW: Kefauver To Be Greeted Here by Hectic Schedule By DONNA HENDLEMAN The life of a visiting dignitary is a hectic one, if the schedule work- ed out for Sen.

FORMER CHAIRMAN of the Senate Crime Investigation Com- _ -_ -_-_---- mittee and author of the best sell- ing report, "Crime in -America," Sen. Kefauver is probably used to such schedules by now.

He recently became one of the most tele- vised figures in Washington, as well as one of the most respected as a result of his work on the Crime Investigating Committee. Elected to the House in 1939, the Tennessee lawyer was a represen- tative for nearly ten years until he switched to the Senate in 1948. WHILE A member of the House, Sen. Kef auver was a member of the Judiciary Committee and also took a prominent part in the con- troversies over the Tennessee Val- ley Authority.

It all happened during a Uni- versity excavation of the Third Century Egyptian town of Karan- is. Headed by Prof. Enoch Peter- son of the archaeology department, the expedition was engaged in un- covering the ruins of the ancient town when the decanter was un- earthed through the efforts of a 75-year-old native. EACH COMPANY of workers Generation Staff Positions Named The following people have been appointed to senior and junior staff positions on Generation. Those appointed include Don Hope, '52, managing editor; Nedra May, '53, associate editor; John Goodyear, '52A, art director; Bob: Rose, '53, business manager. - Also appointed were Barbara Hoefeld, '53, junior staff co-ordi- nator; Fred Levitt, '53, fiction edi- tor; Mel Zerman, '52, drama edi- tor; Robert Golten, '54, circulation director; and Oscar Dodek, '53, ad- vertising- manager. had been assigned to dig in a spe- cified area and this native, Mo- hammed Abd-El-Kareem, h a d been assigned to head one division. When he complained, however, that he had no luck the Uni- versity Archaeologist moved him to the courtyard where the Egyptian dug up a large covered pot. Since the workers themselves are, not allowed to open objects they find, Prof. Peterson was call- ed. When asked what he had found the native's only reply was "Min arif," 'which means in English, "who knows?" Prof. Peterson lift- ed the stone off the mouth of the pot, but found nothing inside. A FEW DAYS LATER, another pot was unearthed by the native and the same conversation ensued with the same stoical shrug of the shoulders accompanied by the worker's "min arif." A few hours later the professor was summoned a third time, to op- en a muchsmaller pot which had been unearthed. This time, however, when Prof. Peterson removed the slab of stone he found what was later discovered to be the only known piece of fluted glassware of that period as well as 18 other pieces of Egyptian glass. The green fluted decanter, an engraved pitcher and all but one of the pieces are now in the Uni- versity Museum of Archaeology. About four inches high, the jar was undoubtedly used by the Egyp- tians as a cosmetic container. In it were found a rag and two pins with a dark green powder on their tips. In olden days the powder was made from crushed stone and ap- plied to the eyelashes and often to the eyelids also as a means of protection against the rays of the sun, Prof. Peterson explained.
