The first lecture in the series; "Man in the Universe," will be given by Prof. Ashley Montagu, chairman of the anthropology department, Rutgers University, at 8:30 p.m. Tuesday in Rackham Lecture Hall. The series is sponsored by the Student Religious Association and the Campus Religious Council. By JOHN W. REED Professor of the Law School There seem to be times -when men are subjected more than usual to pressures to conform to group patterns of thought. To be unortho- dox in some matters is to be dangerously close to subversive, In such a climate, I find it good to remind myself that life is not static, that to stand still is to fall back. To be sure, our civilization is built on the discoveries and philosophies of a thousand yesterdays. No one suggests that the lessons of the past be ignored. But cardinal among these is the lesson that once an individual, or a group, or a nation, ceases to be dynamic, it loses power and influence. One need not deny that there are eternal truths in order to affirm the necessity for a skeptical approach to the world about him. The greatest men of any age have been the men who have cast down the clay-footed idols of their time-not wildly, not irresponsibly, but with an honest eye for truth as God gave them to see the truth. I believe that one need not aspire to historical greatness before he may profit-from this lesson of history. Thus, I recognize that my grasp of truth and of reality yesterday was partial only, and that I can be my best self today only if I subject my routine to penetrating examination-examination to see whether my mo- tives, my aims, my goals are worthy, and whether my methods are effective. Obviously, each of us, has to have some standard by which to measure these motives and methods, lest choice become whimsical or expedient merely. For myself, I seek to apply the standard represented by the life of Jesus. To the obvious suggestion that adoptioh of this standard is itself an abdication from the avowed intent constantly to inquire and be skeptical, it may be remarked that a not uninfluen- tial tentmaker found no conflict here, saying, "Forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus." A standard is not stultifying if it beckons ahead. The Chris- tian ethic presents a standard the intensity of whose demand on me varies in direct ratio with my understanding of it. Applying this standard to my thinking about the day's problems allows me to approach each situation as something new, yet with an ever lifting level of judgment. The opinions I held yesterday may prove doubtful or even invald today when my ability to judge values may be improved. Accordingly I believe I must keep open my mind and its channels of information. I must be willing to listen to new ideas, some of which may seem heretical and may prove false. I must espouse that which seems to me to accord most nearly- with the teachings of Jesus. If, on occasion, I find myself out of step with the group, I shall re-examine my thinking, and if it leads to the same conclusion, I shall persevere, remembering that in all the ages no man was more revolutionary- even subversive of the status quo-than the Master whom I serve. All this I believe. Tomorrow's THIS I BELIEVE by Alfred Hunting, graduate student Eisenhower Pledges Trip To Korean Front if Elected Regents Act To Create New Position Walter Continues As Policy Maker By VIRGINIA VOSS In a major administrative move the Board of Regents yesterday ap- pointed Associate Dean of Students Walter B. Rea to the newly-cre- ated post of Dean of Men. The addition of another dean- ship came as a "logical develop- ment" growing out of the "great volume of work" currently handled by the student affairs office, ac- cording to University relations di- rector Arthur L. Brandon. ** * THE NEW appointee will take over specific activities previously handled by Dean of Students Erich A. Walter assisted by Dean Rea and other Office of Student Affairs officials. Dean Walter will retain his present title and will continue to coordinate overall policy-making for the entire student body. In a position concomitant with the Dean of Women, Dean Rea will act as special counselor of men students and have "immediate supervision of their welfare, con- duct and non-academic activi- ties." * * * T HE REGENTS also took lengthy but non-controversial ac- tion yesterday in appointing a committee to represent the Uni- versity in negotiations with the city, modifying graduation re- quirements for engineering stu- dents and accepting $47,242.66 in gifts and grants. In answer to a corresponding move by the Ann Arbor City Council, the Regents named vice-president Wilbur K. Pier- pont, secretary Herbert G. Wat- kins, plant superintendent Wal- ter Roth and manager of ser- vice enterprises Francis Shiel to act as a liason committee be- tween the University and local officials. Institution of a change in the method of stating requirements for graduation from the engineering college will make it possible for students to compress the time re- quired for pre-degree studies. The new regulations are stated in the terms of quality of educational development rather than hours of credit. V. *- - FINANCE-WISE, the biggest grant accepted by the Regents yesterday was a $7,500 fund from the Lawyers Club for the purchase See REGENTS, Page 2 Two Squads Seek Little Brown Jug *Big Ten Lead at Stake in Vital Game; Kress-Giel Individual Duel Looms By ED WHIPPLE Daily Sports Editor Michigan and Minnesota battle for more than the Little Brown Jug when they collide at;2:00 p.m. today in the Stadium before some 80,000 fans. A 1952 issue-first place in the Big Ten-has materialized the past two Saturdays to overshadow the 43-year-old Jug rivalry for the Homecoming afternoon. The Wolverines and Gophers each have won two straight Con- ference games to put them in a three-way tie with Purdue for the Big Ten lead. Purdue plays at Illinois today, and should the Illint 1922--Minus over two decades of scores, the Little Brown Jug stands on a wooden cart waiting to be snatched by the winner of the Michigan-Minnesota game. Guarding the famous jug are the late Fielding Yost and Minnesota's 1922 football coach. The Gophers will try again today to recover the Jug which has been in the Wolverine's hands sin ce 1943. * * * * * * * * * Students, Alums To See Brown Jug Tilt By ERIC VETTER Climaxing Homecoming week- end, some 80,000 fans including scores of alumni, will jam into the Stadium at 2 p.m. today to watch the famed battle over the Little Brown Jug. Temperatures are predicted to hover in the mid-sixties at game Williams, Moody To Appear Here Gov. G. Mennen Williams, Sen. Blair Moody, Congressional can- didate Prof. John P. Dawson of the law school and seven county candidates on the Democratic ticket wil speak and meet the public in a concentrated swing through this area Tuesday eve- ning. Starting at Chelsea, the poli- ticos will appear at Willow Village, East Ann Arbor and at the trailer camp on U.S. 23. They will wind up the big political evening at Ypsilanti. The local rally will be held at the Mary D. Mitchell School on Pittsview Drive. I time with the prospects of plenty of sunshine for the crowd which' is expected to be the second larg- est of the season. . SPECIAL TRAINS bringing in alumni and fans will swell the cities population by 4,000 while Ann Arbor Police Captain Roland Gainsley estimates that over 30,- 000 automobiles will arrive in the city by gametime. Ypsilanti State Police place the total number of people ar- riving from Detroit via autos, at about 35,000 and ticket man- ager Don Wier reports that near- ly 4,000 tickets for the game were sold in Minneapolis, the home of the Golden Gophers. Special luncheons, dinners and parties are on tap for visiting Michigan grads and a special half- time ceremony at the game will find alumni of Michigan bands re- live their college days by playing a special number from the stands. THE GRADUATING class of 1904 is apparently the oldest one on hand for the festivities. Other groups holding special functions are the Varsity 'M' Club and the Team Managers Club. Homecoming weekend got off to a rollicking start last night during the annual Varsity Night show in Hill Auditorium. At 9 a.m. today judges for the Homecoming displays will leave the Union in specially marked cars to make the rounds of houses with entries. The winners in both divisions will be announced over the public address system at the game dur- ing the intermission. Last year Sigma Nu walked off with top honors for the men and See TRADITIONAL, Page 6 Block 'M' To Salute Alumni at Game The flashcard section has plan- ned a special show for the second quarter and half time at today's Homecoming game. Spectators will be greeted with "hello" spelled out. As a salute to the returning alumni, win, the winner of the game here' would be on top all alone. * * . MICHIGAN and Minnesota both boast 2-2 season records, as well as identical Conference marks. The Wolverines have downed In- diana, 28-13, and Northwestern, 48-14, after losing non-Conference affairs to Michigan State, 27-13, and Stanford, 14-7. Minnesota rebounded from de- feats by California and Wash- ington to edge Northwestern, 27- 26, and upset Illinois, 13-7, last Saturday. As for the Jug, it has been in circulation since 1903, the legend goes, when a Minnesota equipment man snitched the crock from Michigan. When Michigan author- ities requested its return, the Go- phers retorted, "Come and get it." The Wolverines had to wait until 1909, the next time the rivals could get together. Then Michi- gan won the Jug back. Since then the Maize and Blue has triumphed 20 times, lost 11, and tied three. The Michigan- Minnesota rivalry started in 1892, and altogether the Wolverines; have won 26, lost 13, and tied" three. . '. - THE MINNESOTA contribution is Mr. Gopher himself, Paul Giel,.. who does everything for the Ma- roon and Gold except paint the scores on the Little Brown Jug. He may take on that chore too, if his passing, running, blocking, punting, pass catching, and sig- nal calling can repossess the tro- phy for Minnesota. Last year as a sophomore Giel set a new Conference record for1 total offense-1079 yards in six games-and in four starts this year he is only 23 yards behind1 the pace for his first four 1951 games. Against Michigan in '51 Giel gained 281 yards as his] team lost, 54-27.l The Maize and Blue's man is See BOTH SQUADS, Page 3 *Lineups MINNESOTA MICHIGAN B. McNamara LE Lowell Perry R. Hansen LT D.

Although 40 students have taken out petitions for the 23 open seats which will be decided in the Nov 18-19 all-campus elections, only t istration must be to bring a close t to the conflict that has been rag- n ing since June of 1950.

"I shall go to Korea." * , * EISENHOWER placed full re- sponsibility for the war on the Truman administration. He said- without naming either the Presi- dent or Secretary of State Dean Acheson-that they ignored re- peated warnings and that they - assured inquiring senators that the South Koreans could defend themselves alone. This was possibly the strong- est speech Eisenhower has made, although he has discussed for- eign policy in major speeches and in whistle stops in all parts of the country. He said the war was not in- CAPACITY' CR OWD CHEERS RE VELLI: Varsity **Nght Features M' Symphony Band Sparking the 14th annual Varsity Night last night was the Michigan Symphony Band, under the direction of Prof. William D.

Y. the Illinois governor also cut loose at Eisenhower, accusing him of ad- vocating a "slick" Korean War policy which Stevenson said would lead to Munich-like appeasement in the Far East and probably touch off World War III. In last night's address, Stev- enson said that when Eisenhower was nominated he said he was going to cast out of the Republi- can fold "quack doctors," "fear- mongers" and "bare-faced loot- ers." Then, Stevenson said: "I mention these words because Wednesday, the Republican candi- date announced virtuously that he was, in his words, 'leaving to oth- ers the job of mud-slinging and name-calling.'
