BOUND FOR NAVY:
Merow Winds Up Active Stay
W* 'd U 0 * 0
One of the most impressive cam-
pus careers of the decade will end
this June when John Merow, '52E,
outgoing Men's Judiciary Chair-'
marq, leaves the University for a
three year stint as a Naval officer.
Extreme versatility has. marked-
the busy engineering student's ac-

freshman year at UCLA.

FROM HIS work as Business:
Manager of Gargoyle to his acti-
vities on Judic and the Engineer-
ing Honor Council, Merow has es-
tablished a reputation for quiet
competence which has enabled
him to participate in numerous
other activities and still maintain
a 3.5 overall grade point average.
His impeccable .dress and
quiet manner establish an in-
nate conservatism about him-
he is "level-headed" in every
respect. But beneath the con-
servatism is an affability and
subtle sense of humor which "
have probably led to his suc- :
cess as much as any factor.}::;:..
The whole cdmbination of the
Merow personality has been a
winning one. Gargoyle took on
new life under his steady business
management and made some
whopping profits-a change in the
publication's red ink status quo
which caused amazement from
Maynard St. throughout the cam-
pus.

he helped lay the foundation
for a new, strengthened student
discipline system.
"Judiciary was something I al-
ways wanted to work on," Merow
said. "It has been my most grati-
fying experience on campus.
DESPITE HIS heavy respon-
sibilities connected with Judic and
Gargoyle, Merow somehow found
time to serve a stretch as Presi-
dent of the Engineering Honor
Council, president of Kappa Sig-
ma fraternity and as a member of
the Student Affairs Committee,
the Union Board of Directors, the
SL Committee on Campus Reor-
ganization and the NROTC Bat-
talion Staff.
When Merow graduates as a
Civil Engineer and goes into the
Navy this June, it may be only a
temporary break in an eventful
campus career. After his Navy
service is over, he hopes to come
back here for Law School, if he
does not go to Harvard instead.

Seniors will have a chance to
put their names down for "pos-
terity" starting today in the
Union Taproom.
Any senior who wants to per-
form the annual tradition of en-
graving his name on a taproom
table top can do so by presenting
his ID card at the Union's down-
stairs checkroom. There he will
Democrats
Rally To .Beat
Sen. McCarthy
MADISON, Wis. - Wisconsin
Democrats moved today to put all
their energy behind one candidate
to defeat Sen. McCarthy (R-Wis.)
in his bid for reelection this fall.
In a harmony move, U. S. Dist.
Atty. Thomas E. Fairchild of Mad-
ison, who made an unsuccessful
bid two years ago for the state's
other seat in the Senate, declared
he would not be a candidate for
the Democratic nomination this
year.
In his statement today, Fair-
child said there were many in his
party who "hope there will be no
primary contest because it means
that the nominee will not be cho-
sen until September and only a
short period then remains before
the election."
Fairchild is a former Attornby
General of Wisconsin and current-
ly is attorney of the state's West-
ern Federal District. He was the
Democratic nominee against Sen.
Wiley (R-Wis.) in 1950.
be given wood cutting tools to be
used in carving upon the specially
designated table.

THE NAME-NOTCHING prac-
tice, deeply rooted in University
tradition, originated before the
turn of the century in Joe Park-
er's beer parlor. Fearing his tables
would be hacked to splinters under
the blades of the students, Joe
started the practice of permitting
the seniors to carve their names
in a special table each year and
then hanging the table on the
wall.
After Joe retired the table
carving stopped. When the Un-
ion was built, however, the fam-
ous tables were transferred to its
Taproom where the carving
tradition was renewed.
steve Feurth, Union staffman,
has announced that seniorswill
be permitted to engrave their
names at the special table until
May 30.
Body of Child,
Found in.River
The body of a newly-born boy
was found floating in the Huron
River Sunday by Perry Johnson,
a Detroit fisherman.
An autopsy revealed that the
infant had been in the water from
10 to 11 days and had died either
at birth or by force. There were
severe burns on the baby's back.
Sheriff's office authorities indi-
cated that the infant was prob-
ably thrown in at the Geddes
Bridge at 11:55 a.m. May 7 or
May 8. Blood samples have been
sent to Lansing for analysis.
