b PAGE EIGHT * THE MICHIGAN DAILY SUNDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1952 COLLEGE ROUNDUP: College Paper Editors Lose Pay, Draw Blasts Survey Points Up GOP Need of Independent Vote Wolverines WiCldcats Chew atEvc Up inston. By JAN WINN Things looked tough all over for college newspapers last week. University of Wisconsin's Daily Cardinal has lost an editor through action by its board of control. The board, after an investigar- tion of the weak financial struc- ture of the Cardinal, decided, as an "ecopomy measure" to com- pletely cut out the salary of Exe- cutive Editor Jerry Schecter. This action, taken over the vigorous protests of the editor-in-chief forced Schecter to resign from the paper because of his self-support- ing financial position. An offer made by the editor-in- chief and business managers to take salary cuts so that the editor could keep his position was refus- ed by the board. SARA WOODS, editor of the University of Oklahoma daily re- cently went "corruption hunting' in the student governing body After decrying the student elec- tions as "rotten, stinking and fil thy," she found the Student Sen- ate "fierciy attempting to stifle m when I was writing nasty editorials about it." Miss Wood added, "My life was even threhtened." Another editor, from a small eastern college, had to face the wrath of the president's office when she took a blast at the ad- ministration. On the issue of six students re- ceiving reprimands for drinking she wrote: "A lot the school has to holler about student drinking when the school owns shares in a tavern and when it goes around soliciting funds from local pubs." She was warned to keep under - control the "impetuosity of her youth." * * * THE Interfraternity Council at Augustana College last week re- fused to allow the student news- paper to cover its meetings. "I don't think that proceed- ings of the Council should be open to the public, as they would r be if a reporter were allowed to . attend," said a Council spokes- man. "Fraternities are secret or- ganizations - their business is not the business of the campus," he added. The Augustana Observer com- mented: "We have no desire to . spy on anyone ... it. is with great - disappointment that we bow to - the wisdom of the Grecian Sages." In a study of "Independents" in the voting population, recently completed by the University Sur- vey Research Center, indications were that the Republicans must gain a much larger segment of the independent vote than the Democrats if they are to win in November. The study, prepared by Prof. Samuel J. Eldersveld, of the polit- ical science department was based on a nation-wide sampling of the 1948 electorate. ACCORDING to estimates made in the study thenindependent vote is more than one-third of the po- Student Players Issue Tryout Call Student Players has .issued a tryout call for three male speaking parts in their Nov. 12-15 produc- tion of "Brigadoon." Those interested in applying for the roles will be interviewed at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow at the League. No acting experience is necessary according to Joseph Gadon, '53, president of the Student Players. tential electorate. Of these two- thirds E.re accessible to partisan appeals and vote regularly. Dividing the independent vot- ers into seven categories accord- ing to how accessible they are to political appeals, the survey in- dicated that the Republicans must reach the less accessible to secure the coming election. Figures from the survey showed that the large bulk of GOP votes in 1948 came from two groups: definite Republicans who always vote and independents with Re- publican sympathies who always vote. The survey cited the failure of the Republicans to gain the votes of the independents who tend Re- publican but who vote frequently. This group along with the other less accessible groups, that is blocks of voters who remain apa- thetic to political appeal and al- most never vote, must be secured for the Republican candidates. The study pointed up the fact that the 1948 election may well have been decided for the Demo- crats by their successes in getting out these less accessible groups of independent voters. I1 Students Hold Indian Festival Of New Year The India Students Association and representatives of interna- tional and cultural clubs on cam- pus last night celebrated Diwali, the Indian New Year, with tradi- tional dances and songs at Lane Hall. The nostalgic atmosphere which accompanied the singing of the Indian national anthem soon gave way to a festive welcoming cere- mony for the New Year. The lively entertainment in the perfumed, tapestry-hung Lane Hall Auditor- ium recalled to many of the stu- dents the celebrations in their na- tive country. THE PROGRAM began with a dance performed by Devon Stev- ens, Spec, representing the myth of Diwali, known as "The Festival of Lights" because of the many candles and lights which are hung around the buildings on this day in India. Representatives from several countries and campus groups sang folk and popular songs from India, France, Spain, and the United States. Members of the Philippine Stu- dents Association performed a na- tive dance popular in their own country, while an Indian song was played on a piercing reed instru- ment belonging to one of the In- dian students. A scene depicting a French side- walk cafe was presented by mem- bers of Le Cercle 'Francais. Also featured on the program was a Japanese dance representing the coming of the new year. u°M l ex~S a Lv i , ;, tiv } 4 . f . : " . . i c 9f y i. 555. ryt FRANK HOWELL IS SMOTHERED BY NU TACKLERS HIGH SCORING KRESS FINALLY HALTED BY WILDCATS COCKTAIL DRESSES in black or bright autumn colors Smart designing in one piece, two piece, or versatile jacket styles.
