Residence Halls Faced'
With Potato Shortage
University students eating in the
residence halls may have to do
without their daily ration of po-
tatoes for the rest of the semester.
Notices, signed by Leonard A.
Schaadt, business manager of res-
idence halls, and Francis C. Shiel,
manager of service enterprises,
were posted in the dormitories yes-
terday notifying students of the
shortage.-,
"AT THE present time the dorm-
itories have a potato supply for
less than a week," Schaadt said.
Since the first of the year
Food Service has had difficulty
getting potatoes because certain
Steel Attorneys
Call Truman
Act 'Kingly'
(Continued from page 1)
handlers and brokers of the
scarce commodity have set up
black markets.
These brokers, who seem to have
cornered the potato market, have
had the existing supply certified
as seed potatoes by the govern-
ment in order to get a higher
price. They have refused to sell
these potatoes, which Schaadt
said are not really seed potatoes,
unless the buyer agrees to pay
cash payment above the OPS ceil-
ing or also buys a vegetable not
in demand, such as parsnips.
THIS SITUATION developed
because last year's production in
the northern or late producing
areas dropped sharply. It is the
output of these states that furn-
ishes the potato supply during the
fall, winter and early spring.
Because the University has
refused to agree to these meth-
ods, substitutes will be served.
Occasionally the students will
have potatoes on their dinner
plates, Schaadt said.
Iiistead of the fastly disappear-
ing spud, students may expect to
see more corn, macaroni, spaghet-
ti, rice or creamed foods, Shiel
said.
"We are now scouring the coun-
try for potatoes, but we will have
to wait until the Michigan crop is
harvested in July before the situ-
ation goes back to normal,"
Schaadt commented.
However, the Department of Ag-
riculture said yesterday that the
next ten days should bring con-
siderable relief from the potato
shortage that has been particu-
larly noticeable all over the Mid-
west.
New crop potatoes should be
moving to market in large volume
from Florida, Texas and Cali-
fornia by the early part of May,
.officials said.
Cheer Squad
Needs Men
Rose Bowl Journey
Beckons to Tryouts
A possible. Rose Bowl journey
lies tantilizingly before those who
become next year's varsity cheer-
leaders.
This of course is a pretty big'
"if," in the person of nine tough
football games. But whether they
head west on New Year's Day or
not, the eight-man squad which
will lead Wolverine cheers next
season will be cheering at six
home games, and will spout their
enthusiasm at grid contests at
Northwestern, Stanford and Ohio
State.
THE SQUAD will not be chosen
until just before the first football
game next fall; but beginning
Monday and lasting through May
9, Captain Don Hurst '53Ed and
gymnastics coach Newt Loken will
work every afternoon with all en-
thusiasts who wish to try for the
team.
Hurst emphasizes that no
special experience is necessary,j
and that anyone at all Inter-
ested is urged to go down to
the gymnastics room in the In-
tramural Building and join the
practice sessions.
Tnstruction in the front head-
spring and in good cheer-leading
form will be given, and the hope-
fuls are expected to practice these
things over the summer in prepar-
ation for the final selection of
the team next fall.
Five men-Hurst, Dunc Erley,
'52E, Larry Price, '55E, Remo Boi-
la, '53BAd, and Lee Krumbholtz
'54Ed - will be back from this
year's squad, but none of them
except the captain is assured of a
spot on next season's team.
Edmonson
Says Schools
Not Godless
'Continued from page 1)
Prof. James B. Edmonson of the
education school, at an afternoon
conference on education, attacked
public school officials and teach-
ers for "the gross misrepresenta-
tion of tax-supported institutions
as 'Godless' ".
They have, he accused, failed to
warn citizens of "the desire of
some persons to shake the faith of
American people in the public
school system in order to promote
support of private or church-dom-
inated schools,"
* . *
BESIDES, he pointed out that
the best interest of many churches
would not be achieved by formal
religious instruction in the public
schools.
He offered as a suggestion
that schools and churches
should combine to hold more
conferences on moral and reli-
gious education. By this means,
basic issues might be identified
and cooperative projects begun.
In a conference speech, Norman
E. Gronlund of the University's
Bureau of Appointments revealed
to the Teacher Placement Confer-
ence that the state's elementary
school teachers are going to be
overburdened again this year.
Figures indicate that Michigan
colleges will be able to supply only
half of the predicted demand.
On the other hand colleges re-
port a 50 per cent surplus of high
school teachers over the expected
demand.
The portrayal of teachers as
"queer characters" is a great han-
dicap in recruiting promising
young people for the teaching pro-
fession, a Western Michigan Col-
lege of Education official reported
at the same session.
The press, movies and radio
conspire to present the men teach-
ers as "absent-minded, bookish
and namby-pamby and the wo-
men as dour old maids of frump-
ish appearance."
Teaching as a profession needs
no apology, he said, "and it is
high time to point out its true
worth to our society and some of
the contributions that its members
make to the common welfare."

prices would have to be boosted
$12 a ton to offset higher costs en-
tailed in a government-recom-
mended wage boost.
THE INCREASE authorized yes-
terday will average 2.6 per cent,
based on a hike of $2.84 a ton for
carbon steel, which accounts for
about 90 per cent of steel output.
OPS said the increase will be a
little higher on such other types
as alloy and stainless steel.
Plans to allow the increase
had been announced earlier.
The OPS action clears the way
for steel companies to apply for
it. There have been signs that
Secretary of Commerce Sawyer,
nominal boss of the seized in-
dustry, may order it into effect.
The price hike was authorized
under the Capehart provision of
the Economic Controls Act, which
directs that ceilings shall allow
for cost increases up to last July
26. It thus precludes considera-
tinn for any wage increase granted
since then.
This was the second time the
industry had gone into court ask-
ing that Truman's order be struck
down. The first unsuccessful ef-
fort followed immediately the
seizure order, issued the night of
April 8. Another federal judge
ruled then the companies had not
shown they were damaged.
