PAGE EIGA': THE MICHIGAN DAILY SUNDAY, APRIL 26, 1953 _____________________________________________________________________________ I I POLICY REVERSAL: City School Board Lifts Ban on Political Meetings By HARRY LUNN A query by a University grad- uate student started action which has opened Ann Arbor's school buildings to political meetings af- ter a 20-year ban on such activi- ties. Last fall David Firestone, Grad., looking for stand-by meeting f a- cilities for local Democratic cam- paign activities, was turned down by the school board when he re- quested auditorium space in city schools. CITING ITS policy of only al- lowing bi-partisan meetings of the debate type, the board would not 'U' Plans Tour For Students Prospective University students will tour campus during Univer- sity Day Saturday. More than 1,500 high school stu- dents will be here. The day's acti- vities will begin with talks at 9 a.m. in Rackham Lecture Hall by President Harlan H. Hatcher and Dean Charles E. Odegaard of the literary college. During the day the students will visit -the residence halls and vari- ous sorority and fraternity houses. Trips through buildings of the various colleges will complete the day's activities. i-at fischer's-i permit partisan campaigning in the buildings. With the support of his fa- ther-in-law, Prof. Preston W. Slosson of the history depart- ment, Firestone asked the board to reconsider its policy and ap- peared before it several times to see if action was being taken. His goal was finally achieved this week when the group voted to allow use of school premises for meetings of any party appearing on the "current official ballot and! or the preceding one." The news was a pleasant sur- prise to Firestone who had not been invited to the board meeting, and knew nothing of its action when contacted. Under the new policy, use of school facilities is subject to general rental fees and regula- tions with the board assuming no responsibility for views ex- pressed. In changing their policy, the group commented "school facili- ties which are provided and main- tained at public expense should be made available for political party meetings at which there may be a free expression of points of view."

Confirm." * 'I * AT 10:20 Marshall Quinn, Ann Arbor CAP executive officer, as- signed the pilots to their search areas. The 15 square mile area was divided into four sections with two planes to each section. After. making out flight plans, each pilot took off to search his area ac- companied by an observer. Quinn in a Stinson 108 and Jay Willer, Ann Arbor Squad- ron personnel officer, flying a Piper Cub searched Area Two. The planes took off at 10:45 a.m. and were limited to one hour's searching time. Quinn's plane, flying at a cruis- ing speed of 120 mph at 1200 feet, sighted the "plane wreckage and parachutes" (four large yellow and white paper panels arranged in a square) after 35 minutes. The C-47 had "crashed" in Cass Benton Park one and a half miles south of Northvile Downs. PRACTICE short-field landings and message drops were arranged for the afternoon, but snow flur- ries cancelled the pans. Quinn said an actual search mission is a dawn-to-sundown search. Small planes are used for searching because they are able to land in a- small area, he explained. The Ann Arbor Squadon doesn't search for crashed coImi.ercial planes, but may be called upon to search for private or military planes reported anywhere in the eastern half or the lower penin- sula, Quinn said. THERE ARE 31 members in the Ann Arbor air mission tealn-27 senior members and four cadets. They are equipped with ten pri- vately-owned planes, he reported. Civil Air Patrol is a nation- wide organization affiliated wish the United States Air Force. In an emergency, the local CAP is able to evacuate people, admin- ister first aid and carry up to 250 pounds of supplies, besides searching for plane wreckage and survivors. 4.
