Michigan Fire College at the Uni-
versity June 23 to 26.
Firemen, civil defense workers
and municipal officials from all
over the state will be shown the
efficiency of low pressure fog, a
fine water spray which turns to
steam and pushes smoke and heat
out of a burning building.
The eight-room wooden house
to be used in the test is on Uni-
versity property located at Hill
and Fifth and was to be torn
down.
Wallace Gannon of the Univer-
sity Extension Service which spon-
sors the Fire College, said heat
testing devices will be placed in-
side the building so interior tem-
peratures can be recorded. The
amount of water used will also be
measured, he added.
Gannon said the fire will be
carefully controlled so there will
be no danger to near-by property.

Well-disciplined energy has been
the key for the first lady of the
League, Phyllis Kaufman, in her
tortuous climb up the campus po-
litical ladder.
From inconspicuous beginnings
in newly opened Alice Lloyd Hall
four years ago, Miss Kaufman rose
through a maze of positions and
activities to hernewly-shed posi-
tion as president of the League.
* * *
DISTRACTIONS and frustra-
tions of extra-curricular life have
left the perpetual Kaufman smile
intact, and a friendly disposition
unruffled through incessant aggra-
vations.
Deans on down have learned
that Miss Kaufman's innate sense
of tact frequently sugar-coats a
forthright and determined nature.
"My chief accomplishment at
the League," she reminisces with
the embryonic nostalgia of be-
ing four weeks removed from her
office, "was to overhaul and
modernize a patchwork constitu-
tion."
Friends can attest to the months
of nerve-wracking effort embodied
in that statement. In organizations
where tradition has worn deep
paths, change is naturally suspect-
ed, and wins acceptance only after
rigorous evaluation. And this
process, to those involved in it,
is a most time-consuming and
trying one.
However, the new constitution
is in the process of clearing its fi-
nal channels this week, and will
shortly become a reality.
AN ATTRACTIVE shapely bru-
nette Miss Kaufman, in her alter
ego as a student, has majored in
speech correction and education.
"My grades are nothing to brag
about," she claims when pressed
for her point average. But in-
formed sources maintain that she
isn't too far from the 3.0 mark.
The retired chief female ex-
ecutive is just completing a

tion hurdle, a freshman physical education test.

A NATIVE of South Haven,
Michigan, she found high school a
happy hunting ground activity-
wise as well, worked on a bevy of
organizations, including the stu-

yearbook, and school band.
In college, she picked up where
she left off in South Haven. Her

tively quiet-Miss Kaufman con-
tented herself with chairing an
Assembly Committee, plus some
miscellaneous work with the
League, dormitory government and
Soph Cab.
In that spring, she sprang back
into the campus political scene,
won a Student Legislature seat
handily. In the fall, she was run-
ning the election -- and shortly
thereafter, had risen to the cabi-
net as corresponding secretary.
LAST SPRING, two alternatives
faced the energetic coed-retire-
ment to a cloistered academic life,
or running for the League presi-
dency. And this is where we came
in.
Most recent triumph for the
bustling ex-president is comple-
tion of a requirement which has
been festering since the freshman
year-her physical education skill
test. With this hurdle out of the
way, she stands resigned to the in-!
exorable approach of graduation.
