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."

An initiation banquet will be held May 22 held May 22 II I FIRST CHURCH OF CHRIST, 1833 Washtenaw Ave. Scientist 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. t s 9:30 A.M.: Sunday School. 11:00 A.M.: Sunday Morning Services.
