PROFESSOR RELAXES:
Aiken Dabbles in Cooking
__________ 01*>
By PAT ROELOFS
"Chicken without cat's teeth" is
the favorite dish of versatile Prof.
Henry D. Aiken, visiting philoso-
pher (and cook) from Harvard
University.
Patronizers of the original dish,
omit cat's teeth from their con-
coction because of their scarcity.
Prof. Aiken deliberately leaves out
the feline dentures from his spec-
ialty.
AIKEN, WHO does most of his
family's cooking, learned to cook
from a chef in Yellowstone Park
when he was employed there dur-
ing summer, vacations from col-
lege. "Each evening," he relates,
"the chef and I would practice
making various dishes for each
other."
The first real experience the
philosopher had in cooking was
quite disastrous, however. The
cooks in a Yellowstone resort
went on strike, and Aiken, with
the help of two other staff mem-
bers, had to fry 400 eggs for the
guests' breakfast. Fortunately,
the feat did not have to be re-
peated because the entire clien-
tele left the resort immediately.
Along with his culinary inter-
ests, Prof. Aiken is an amateur
music critic and cllector of clas-
sical records. Owning a collection
of 2500 records he says his taste in
music "begins with Mozart, con-
tinues with Mozart and ends with
Mozart."
PROF. AIKEN, who was an in-
structor at Columbia University
and the University of Washington
before joining the Harvard staff,
is at the present time writing a
book entitled, "Language of Con-
USAF Offers
Weather Jobs
Seniors and graduate students
will have a chance to apply for
commissions in the USAF Air
Weather Service next week, Col.
William L. Todd, professor of air
science and tactics announced this
week.
A representative from the
Weather Service will be here next
week to interview men and women
who satisfy the requirements of
one year of college physics and
mathematics through integral cal-
culus.
Successful applicants will be
commissioned as second lieuten-
ants in the Air Force. They will be
assigned to "active duty" at one of
eight universities in the United
States for one-year, government-
paid course in meteorology.
KVSQ Instittes
Spot Newscasts
The passing of Comrade Stalin
was of such world-shaking import-
ance that it even affected the pol-
icy of South Quad radio station
KVSQ.
As a result of the Russian pre-
mier's death, South Quad's pro-
grams can now be interrupted for
important verified news flashes.
The decision -was made because
KVSQ listeners did not hear of
Stalin's death until an hour after
the news had been received.

duct," a contribution to ethical
theory.
In discussing the role of the
contemporary philosopher, Prof.
Aiken says he is "bothered by
the growing orthodoxy char-
acteristic or our age." He adds
that the progress of civilization
depends on society's willingness
to receive new ideas.
"I deplore contemporary intel-
lectual movements which 'batten'
upon fear and anxiety," he con-
tinued. "The philosopher, there-
fore, has an obligation greater
than anyone else's to combat the
fantasies of our time." Strongly
) * * *
opposed to the "irrational" philos-
ophies of existentialism and neo-
orthodoxy, he emphasizes "We
must hold fear by the throat."
After his semester on the Uni-
versity staff, where he is teaching
a course in the fundamentals of
Democracy, Fascism and Com-
munism, Prof. Aiken and his fam-
ily are going to Mexico to "find
out what Mexicans do about chick-
en, and to get away from Ameri-
can students for a while."
"I think the philosophy depart-
ment here is as distinguished as
any I've had the privilege to be
the member of" he concluded.

Editor Cites
Role of Paper
As 'Watchdog'
"The role of a newspaper in
politics should be that of watch-
ful , criticism," Edward Lindsay,
editor of the Lindsay-Schaub
newspapers, said yesterday in the
eighth in the current series of
journalism lectures.
Lindsay,-president of the Amer-
ican Council on Education for
Journalism, said this is necessary
because the first institutions that
a dictator tries to control are the
press, the police and the army.
Commenting that "newspapers
tend to be critical of the govern-
ment in power despite its party,"
Lindsay said that most newspaper-
men have different shades of opin-
ion.
He maintained there is not
really a one party press because
papers often switch their sup-
port in different years.
However, Lindsay, who is in his
thirtieth year of journalism, re-
marked, "Politics are over-written
at every level." He attributed this
to the fact that political stories
are 'the most obvious.
"Newspapers must find a way to
report on a wider variety of human
interests, by covering more com-
munity affairs," he suggested.
Awards Given
To Debaters
Jon Beck, 17 year old senior
from Lansing Sexton High School,
yesterday was awarded $1200 in
scholarship prizes for winning first
place in the Detroit Free Press De-
bate Scholarship Contest in Rack-
ham Lecture Hall.
Anthony Bronzo, Flint Northern
High School won the $800 second
place award, and Nick Babladelis,
Manistique High School, was
awarded $500 for third place.

speakers refuted and defended the

Foundation
Grant Given
'U' Physician
Dr. Melvin F. Figley of the med-
ical school has been awarded a
$30,000 John and Mary R. Mar-
kel 'Foundation grant, Dean Al-
bert C. Furstenberg of the medical
school announced this week.
The grant is to be spread over a
five year period. Dr. Figley is the
first University doctor to be chosen
in the six years the grants have
been awarded.
The money will be used to
continue investigations designed
to develop new X-ray techniques
for examining heart and blood
vessels.'
Dr. Figley is studying a method
of injecting a water-soluble iodine-
containing compound into the
blood stream. This enables doc-
tors to trace the blood stream,
which is ordinarily not seen on an
X-ray.
Dr. Figley, who plans to re-
main in Ann Arbor for his research
work, will concentrate on improv-
ing study techniques on effects of
diseases in abdominal organs, such
as the liver. There has been no
previous research on this particu-
lar phase of medicine.
Student, Visits
DuPont Trial
A University student from Ger-
many sat in on the DuPont anti-
trust trial yesterday in Chicago,
the Associated Press reported.
Kurt Keilholt, Grad., an assist-
ant judge of the Langerich Court
at Rheydt, in West Germany, is
studying law at the University
under a State Department grant.
Keilholt said the DuPont trial
"is very interesting for us in Ger-
many because we are interested in
anti-trust laws."
Finance Officers

villages and cities will meet at the

sion of the two-day third annual

ing Institute.

STOCKWELL SAGA:
Crusading Suffragette Helps

Prof. Takeuchi
To Discuss Japan
Prof. Tatsuji Takeuchi of Japan's
Kwansei Gakuin University will
discuss "Japan and the Two
Worlds" at 4:15 p.m. today in the
Rackham Amphitheater.
A visiting lecturer at Columbia
University, Prof. Takeuchi served
as a member of the Philippine Re-
search Commission and was sen-
ior interpreter for Allied Land
Forces in Siam. He was also re-
search secretary to the Supreme
Adviser of the Burmese govern-
ment.
The lecture is sponsored by the
political science department and
the Center for Japanese Studies.
License Renewed
The city health department has
permitted Roderick Danne, '54L,
local sandwich distributor whose
license was suspended last month,
to resume business again.
Daane's license to sell food was
granted because he has met all
health department requirements,
Dr. Otto K. Engelke, Health De-
partment Director said in an-
nouncing the decision this week.
For it was largely due to the
work of Mrs. Stone that University
Regents lowered the barriers to
accept the first woman student,
Madelon Louisa Stockwell, set-
ting a precedent for other Michi-
gan colleges and many schools
throughout the nation.
THE STORY of Madelon Stock-
well will be recreated on this
week's "A Name to Remember," a
series of programs produced by
WUOM. Tape recordings will - be
broadcast over 20 outstate sta-
tions at various times during the
week.
Before 1869 University officials
feeling that the female brain
was not capable of absorbing a
higher education, had refused to
admit any women students. But
Mrs. Stone, acting with the per-
sistent drive that characterized
suffragettes, first picked Miss
Stockwell to be her "guinea pig"
and then went into action.
Discovering nothing in the Uni-
versity charter that prohibited
women, she tricked a professor into
giving Miss Stockwell entrance ex-
ams, which then consisted of such
difficult tasks as translating Greek,
conjugating Latin verbs, tracing
the history of the' British Parlia-
ment and other questions that
would stump many present day
University students.
