By GAYLE GREENE I
Although his exuberant sprint-
ing recently brought Britisher
Mike Faber, brad., into uncom-
fortably close contact with a ce-
ment wall, resulting in several
stitches on his chin, Faber has al-
lowed no let up in one year virtual
run of the University.
Half the ground he has covered
on campus since his arrival in
September on a Ford Foundation
research grant in economics has
been at a trot, run or all out gal-
lop.
IT WAS JUST such spurts of
activity that highlighted a pro-
gram of philosophy, economics,
and politics at Magdelen College,
Oxford where he graduated with a
"First" (equal to our highest hon-
ors). Faber found time to excel in
"games" there and in his younger
days captained the football team
at Eton.
Faber's life has not been with-
out disappointments, however.
An unsuccessful attempt to
swim the Bosphorus was follow-
ed by a try at the English Chan-
nel. "After rather a brave at-
tempt, they pulled me out ex-
hausted, only 150 yards from the
shores of England, Faber re-
lated,
"By the way," he added "you
needn't mention I started from
England."
Faber then suggested that a few
things he agreed upon before com-
mencing his interview. "First of all,
he requested, "no glamourizing,
because I don't like glamour. Well

and singing snatches of an old
English ballad.

moderating the International
Roundtable on WUOM. He is also
with the Student Legislature Re-
organization committee.
"Mike may seem to be moving
in three directions at once, oc-
casionally," but according to his
roommate, Bill McIntyre, Grad.,
what seems impulsive is always
thought out. One reason he
thinks so fast may be that
his education has emphasized
thought rather than the mere
gathering of facts, McIntyre ex-
plained, while Faber ruffled
some letters on a erratically clut-
tered desk.
The room's complete disarray
combined with a dusty yuletide
centerpiece on the mantel indi-
cated that Faber has escaped un-
scathed from the discipline af-
forded by two years of military
service prior to entering Oxford.
* *' *
FABER'S PLANS for the future
are rather vague but center, for
the immediate future, on travel.
"I want to get around the world
before June 1954," he said.
Why June 1954?
S"There's a cricket match in
Scotland, I want to play in," he
explained, shifting to the chair
at the head of the table declar-
ing: "Structure is everything."
"Hey, don't write that down,"
he asked. "Everything that's said
depends on the atmosphere and
context in which it is spoken. One
might say people take life too ser-
iously and a few minutes later one
might say as Chesterton did: "To
enjoy life is to take it seriously'
and that's true, too," he explained.
"He never waters his plant" in-
terjected his roommate. "I always
have to do it for him."
"Just say I'm a great believer
in Robert Louis Stevenson's Great
Theorem of the Livableness of
Life," Faber shouted as he sprint-
ed off to class.

Terming the guaranteed annual
wage question a "very complex is-
sue," Prof. William Haber of the
economics department predicted
that it is very likely to become the
next major area of controversy in
labor management relations.
Along with nine other leading in-
dustrial relations experts, Prof.
Haber was named this week by
UAW-CIO president Walter Reu-
ther to a special advisory panel
which will consider the annual
wage problem.
SPONSORED by Reuther, the
guaranteed wage plan was unani-
'U' Students
Donate Little
To Red Cross
With the American Red Cross's
annual fund raising drive, "Ans-
wer the Call," scheduled to end in
Washtenaw County in three days,
student response is lagging far be-
hind expectations, according to
Mrs. Jesse A. Coller, county fund
chairman.
This year's student goal, cut
from $1,000 to $550 to better en-
able the student body to reach its
quota, apparently aroused little
incentive in the student body Mrs.
Coller reported.
Thus far contributions have
amounted to only $186.28 with
the drive nearly over, she said.
This year letters to housing unit
presidents requesting their aid in
soliciting funds replaced the tra-
ditional cannisters, with little ap-
parent success. Only three men's
resident halls, one women's resi-
dence, one fraternity and one sor-
ority responded to the campaign.
The Interfraternity Council is
scheduled to pick up contribution
envelopes from the individual
houses Monday and Tuesday Mrs.
Coller added.

at the
Michigan Union
mously adopted at the UAW con-
vention Wednesday as the goal for
1955 contract talks, when present
five-year escalator agreements ex-
pire.
The UAW president has called
the annual wage "a matter of
economic necessity in order to
maintain full production and
full employment, and avoid a
disastrous depression."
Commenting on the guaranteed
wage question, Prof. Haber point-
ed out that the capacity of any in-
dustry to develop such a plan will
depend on the stability of its
markets and the regularity of its
employment.
"The extent to which a commit-
ment to pay wages on an annual
basis would provide additional in-
centive toward production and em-
ployment stabilization would also
vary among plants and industries,"
he added.
AMONG the many difficult prob-
lems which must be resolved be-
fore any annual wage plan will be
practicable are the relationship of
such a plan to unemployment in-
surance laws and the extent to
which temporary or low seniority
employees would be included, the
labor relations authority indicated.
"Basically the capacity of an
industry to pay wages on an an-
nual basis depends on its ability
to stabilize its production," he
concluded.
"It would be very pleasant to
think that the last dozen years of
full employment would continue
indefinitely, but no law has yet
been passed repealing the business
cycle," he added wryly.
