LXIII, No. 98 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1953 SIX PAGES U I 0 Regent Cites Four Values Of Activities Connable Opens New SL Project By VIRGINIA VOSS Looking at student activities from the vantage point of a Re- gent-alumnus, Regent Alfred B Connable, '25, last night' praised campus organizations as a "train- ing ground for personal initiative -the force that keeps democracy a living thing." "Tradition and sentiment aside, activities have far-reaching effects on the persdn in the community,' the one-time Student Counci president said. REGENT CONNABLE spoke a' the opening meeting of Student Legislature's Student Citizenship program, an eight-session projec' designed to increase studen' awareness of responsibilities in the educational community. Characterizing student activ- ities as a "springboard" to carry on in future community work, Regent Connable outlined four rewards of activity participation. First was "fun," and activities are no fun without it, the Regen' quipped. He proved his point with anecdotes from student experience in a variety of campus organiza- tions. The second reward was friend- ship. The genial Regent noted that here activities superseded the classroom in providing opportuni. ties to get to know people by work. ing with them. * * DEVELOPMENT of persona skills was listed as a third advan. tage. Regent Connable cited self- expression as an example. "A lot of labor-management difficulties have arisen from lack of effective com- munication," he pointed out. As a fourth reward, the former student leader named "training in democracy." Since "every process in democracy depends on elections of some sort," he felt that it was profitable to learn election procedures and commit- tee functionings at college. Speaking as a former student Regent Connable noted that objec- tives of activities are often frus- trated-"It took us on the Student Council a year to get a cheering section in the Stadium." His speech was colored with rem- iniscenses of his campus contem- poraries-Gov. Thomas E. Dewey ("he had the best voice in the Glee Club"), University vice-president Marvin L. Niehuss, Dean of Men Walter B. Rea-all of whom were strongly activities-conscious pIn a question-and-answer period following his talk, Regent Con- nable reiterated his stand in favor of open Regents' meetings. Next session of the Student Citi- zenship Program will be a panel on group dynamics held at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in Auditorium B, Mason Hall. SL Petitions Now Available For 40.

Aigler, Western Conference faculty representative, defended the Big Ten action ofj placing Michigan State College on probation yesterday, following a blast at the conference action by State Senator Haskell L. Nichols (R-Jackson). Nichols introduced a resolution which gave MSC a unanimous vote of confidence by the Senate and at the same time let fire a salvo at Kenneth L. (Tug) Wilson, Big Ten Commissioner, who he charged "missed the boat" in the probation- ary action. IN HIS SPEECH, Nichols, a Uni- versity graduate, said the Big Ten order results from "jealousy" and "has gone way beyond the realm of fair play." Prof. Aigler countered by say-I ing "It is a serious charge to say that nine men from nine respec- table universities would act without regard to the facts." (In the Conference action, Wil-i son's order of probation was re- viewed and unanimously upheld by the faculty representatives fol- lowing an appeal by MSC.) The faculty board spent an en-' tire day reviewing the case. Aid'- ler said, and carefully weighed the entire situation. - * * * NICHOLS also leveled his sights on Prof. Herbert O (Fritz) Cris- ler, University athletic director. He said "The action is a challenge to. the presidents of the Big Ten schools and to Fritz Crisler to; come clean and eliminate this spir- it of jealousy."

Furry refused yesterday to tell the House Un-American Activities Committee whether he is or ever has been a Communist. In a statement issued later to the press, however, Furry said he is not a Red. "I assure my friends and col- t leagues that I am not a member of the Communist party, that I have no personal knowledge as to whether or not there is any Com- munist partynat Harvard or any- where else," Furry stated. He did not say whether he had belonged to the party in the past. * * * ROBERT G. DAVIS, an English professor at Smith College, testi- fied Wednesday he knew Furry as a Communist when Davis was a member of a Red Cell at Harvard from 1937 to 1939. Furry, during his appearance in the witness chair, invoked his- constitutional right not to testify against himself. In his press statement Furry said his refusal to answer some of the committee's questions does not imply that he is guilty of any- thing. "The fact is that I have not committed any crimes and I have never done anything with intent to injure the United States," he added. "It is an unfortunate fact, how- ever, that under present circum- stances a person who is subjected to interrogation of this kind, has cause, no matter how innocent he may be, to apprehend that accu- sations have been or will be con- structed against him." Furry talked readily about his background, education and work. But he repulsed all questions as to any Communist connections.

Smith, trustee of the much-de- bated expense fund raised for Vice- President Nixon while he was senator, has reported handling $25,056.63 in political contribu- tions during Nixon's vice presi- dential campaign. The report, filed with the clerk of the House, covers the period from Nixon's nomination by the Republican National Convention last July to Dec. 26, 1952. SMITH, Pasadena, Calif., at- torney, said in a letter accompany- ing the report, he did not think he could be considered a "com- mittee" which the law requires to file such reports. "Nevertheless, it is my desire to co-operate fully with the ef- forts of Congress to learn what receipts and expenditures have taken place," his letter said. The report was filed last Dec. 29, but its existence did not be- come known until yesterday when the New York Post carried a story on it. THE CLERK'S office said it was not shown to newsmen at the time of filing because of standing pro- cedure that only reports asked for specifically by name are made available for inspection. Smith had said last Septem- ber he would make an account- ing of funds contributed to Nix- on after the convention but all newsmen apparently assumed the report would be filed as con- tributions to Nixon, rather than to Smith. Smith's comments in Septem- ber followed the disclosure that Smith and other friends of Nixon had raised $18,235 to pay certain expenses of Nixon while a senator from California. The fund became a campaign issue. Democrats questioned its pro- priety and called on Nixon to re- sign as the GOP vice presidential ' nominee. Nixon contended there was nothing improper about the fund. Gen. Eisenhower, as the Re- publican presidential nominee, up- held Nixon. An audt made public at that time showed $11,000 had been con- tributed since the Republican con- vention. And Smith-in promising a later accounting-said more than $2,000 was received within three days after Nixon's dramatic television broadcast explaining the $18,235 fund. Art Shows Ego It's not necessary to be nuts to be modern, according to Dr. Dan- iel E. Schneider. Speaking at Rackham Hall on "Esthetics and the Ego," Dr. Schneider gave his theory on psy- chiatry and art to a packed aud- ience. "The human ego is the articu- late center of our universe." he said. "Ego as a dreamer leads to the high road of esthetics." Art work is a mere technical process which transmits the sub- conscious of the artist. Just as a dream can be interpeted, so can a piece of art work. "Art gives us the opportunity to identify ourselves with ttie ar- tist.
