Lunch Hour Break

Philosopher
Argues for
Freud Ideas
By BOB JAFFE
Joining forces with Sigmund
Freud, Prof. Abraham Kaplan,
visiting philosopher from the Uni-
versity of California, systemati-
cally refuted possible lines of logi-
cal criticism to the field of psycho-
analysis yesterday.
Addresing an overflow crowd in
the Rackham Assembly Hall, Prof.
Kaplan set the pace of his stand
with, "whether psychoanalytic
theory is accepted or rejected
should depend on empirical fact
and not on the nature of the logic
involved."
He went on to tear down some
of the predominant objections to
the field.
The first objection was that
the realm of psychoanalysis em-
braces things too mystical, too
abstract, too fantastic to be
plausible.
He pointed out that to say a
theory is too fantastic is merely
tosay that it is improbable but
not impossible. This condition,
which he referred to as 'low ante-
cedent probability' is not a suffi-
cient argument against the possi-
bility that a given event will occur.
"Another objection often raised
against psychoanalysis," Professor
Kaplan went on, "would run, 'the
trouble is that evidence brought
forward to prove psychoanalytic
theory is purely interpretive from
case to case'."
This, he said, is true not only in
this field but in all the "empiri-
cal" sciences as well. Thus, the
chemist, physicist and astronomer
all adopt an interpretive view with
regard to the material with which
they are studying, he noted.
"I am against setting out on
the royal road of logic and disre-
garding scientific observation,"
the professor emphatically con-
cluded.,
Seven Cadets
Meet Hatcher
Seven cadets from the Salvation
Army Training College in Chica-
go visited Ann Arbor yesterday.
A day-long tour which included
open air services, a radio program
and an interview with President
Harlan H. Hatcher was planned
for the group.
President Hatcher issued a cor-
dial welcome to the cadets and
spoke informally to the group.

'U' Scientist Awarded Medal

CHICAGO-(P)-Thomas Fran-
cis, Jr., University scientist who
was the first to discover the exist-
ence of more than one influenza
virus, will be honored by the Uni-
versity of Chicago.
Dr. Francis, chairman of the
Department of Epidemiology,
School of Public Health, will be

awarded the University of Chi-
cago's Howard Ricketts medal at
a scientific meeting in Chicago
May 12.
The Ricketts Medal, honoring
the late University of Chicago phy-
sician who died of typhus May 3;
1910, is a national honor in recog-
nition of outstanding medical work.

By JOYCE FICKIES
The traditional explorer's dream
of shooting tigers in India holds
no charm for at least one man on
campus.
Prof.Claude W. Hibbard, Cura-
tor of Vertebrate Paleontology at
the University Museums, prefers
indulging every summer in what
he considers the best sport of all
-hunting fossils.
"Fossil hunting has it all over
big game hunting," according to
the professbr, "because you never
know what you are going to find."
* * *
DURING Prof. Hibbard's six-
teen years of field-tripping for the
* . *

University and the University of
Kansas, he has come up with
many unique discoveries. His va-
cation time expeditions have
brought to the local museum and
laboratories fossil specimens from
tiny mouse jaws to huge elephant
teeth and camel skulls.
More than one hundred dif-
ferent kinds of mammals new to
science plus many discoveries of
unknown invertebrates are in-
cluded among his finds.
One of the trips' greatest con-
tributions has been the numerous
uncoverings of bird fossils. Little
more than a decade ago, it was
commonly believed that fossilized
bird remains were seldom found
in America.
In the past sixteen years, how-
ever, Prof. Hibbard's expeditions
have collected more than three
thousand separate bird bones-
enough to enable students to make
special studies of them.
* * *
THE BEST AND rarest finds
from trips go to the University
Museums for display. They also
provide valuable, and otherwise
inobtainable, teaching material
for classes in zoology and paleon-
tology courses.
In addition to supplying mu-
seum and classroom, the veter-
an explorer also instructs stu-
dents in field techniques while
he is hunting. Each year he
takes a party of interested stu-
dents to the west for a new
expedition.
This summer Prof. Hibbard and
his crew (four students) will go to
southwestern Kansas where they
will investigate a "very important"
interglacial fauna.
Ultimately, Prof. Hibbard says
he doesn't want to "take the credit
for the discoveries of the trips.
"The students should get the cre-
dit," he says. "After all, they do
all the hard work. I just show
them where to dig."
Indian Group
fetes Writers
Books will be awarded as prizes
to the winners of the essay con-
test sponsored by the India Stu-
dents Association at 6:30 p.m. to-
day at the annual Indian dinner
at Lane Hall.
In an attempt to foster inter-
national understanding on a local
scale, the Indian club provided an
essay contest on the topic of India
for the eighth grade students of
Ann Arbor schools this semester.

TIME OUT--Under the nearly completed addition to Angell
Hall a workman takes a break for lunch.

dew Angell Hall Addition
Progresses To in tae

--Ramon Ross

of

The new addition to Angell Hall
is slowly but surely nearing com-
pletion.
What a short time ago appeared
to be merely a sprawling mass of
steel, scaffolding and brick, has
now begun to assume the form of
an almost completed modern
structure.
Construction began in the sum-
mer of 1950. The .work has been
progressing according to schedule
and completion is expected in Aug-
ust.
* * *
WHILE ON the inside, class-
rooms and lecture halls are be-
ginning to be shaped, activity on
the outside has taken a new turn.
Co-op Houses
Hold Midwest
MeetingHere
The University's Inter-Co-oper-
ative Council Is playing host to
a midwest area conference today
and tomorrow, as the concluding
activity of Campus Co-op Week.
Discussion at the meetings to be
held today at the First Methodist
Church will center around prob-
lems of organization, operation,
finance and management of stu-
dent co-operatives,
* * s
DELEGATES TO the conference
hail from the Universities of Tor-
onto, Purdue, Illinois, Michigan
State College and Ohio State.
"Through this conference,"
Ivan Gluckman, '52, ICC presi-
dent said, 'we hope to learn the
progress that is being made on
other campuses and to air our
own problems for possible solu-
tion."
Among the speakers will be Prof.
Harold Gerard, of the Group Dy-
namics Institute, and Lee Hiller,
President of the North American
Student Co-operative League. An
ICC party at Nakamura House will
conclude the day's activities.
The conference will end with a[
summary session at 9 p.m. tomor-
row at Owen Co-op, 1017 Oakland.

Limestone facings are being
applied to both sides of the old
Hall. The result will be a uni-
formly white limestone main
buildipg with a limestone dec-
orated brick addition.
Already installed within the
b u i l d i n g are electric units,,
soundproof ceilings, lavatory fa-
cilities and water fountains. Paint-
ing, flooring and decorating is ra-
pidly proceeding.
* * *
A PERSON wishing to see the
inside work need only to climb ov-
er the wire fencing and walk
through the entire project. The
workers, engaged in activities
ranging from sand shoveling to
oxyacetylene torch welding, seem
little disturbed by curious students
wandering through the building
or gaping from outside the fen-
cing.
According to a sign across from
the general library the Addition
will be ready for classes next
September.
