LXIII, No. 48 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SATURDAY, NOVEMlER 15, 1952 SIX PAGES THIS I BELIEVE: }FindingGo Basic in Life EDITOR'S NOTE: In conjunction with the lecture series "This I Believe," The Daily is presenting statements of belief from prominent members of the University community. By MILTON E. MEADT Mead, a pre-theology student, is on the Board in Control of Intercollegiate Athletics and has varsity letters in Track and Basketball. Considering all the events in my life, the greatest thing that hap- pened to me was finding God through Christ. However, to be perfectly -4 honest, I cannot accept credit for it. For a long time I had been exposed to the Christian influences of my family and church, but I had never.. really come to the crossroads of decision. Like most young fellows, I did little serious thinking about any matter, especially about religion or any topic of world importance. But eventually God got through to me and gave purpose to living. The wonderfulness of this revelation is that it has reoccurred with increasing frequency since the initial experience. Knowing God has become a growing process. Each time self is conquered, a little better glimpse of the Eternal Purpose is seen. I marvel at the graciousness of God and what He can do through me when I let Him. In utter sin- cerity I can testify that God has never let me down when my action was in accord with His will. Some people rebel at a faith that is demanding because they feel it is not worth the effort or frustration involved in setting high goals: But from my experience, I have found that playing the game of life according to strict rules and with God as a partner is fascin-' ating. If religion creates frustration and guilt feelings, it also pro- vides abundant power to overcome them. It seems that this struggle between sin and uprightness is the point where most of us fall down. Temporary set-backs discourage us, and slamming the door in Satan's face seems to be contrary to group norms. A Christian should live on a higher plane than society in general; however living God's way is not easy, so why try? The answer is that living rightly does give ultimately the greatest satis- faction, but more important, God needs each one of us to bring lils Kingdom on earth. Believing that our world also needs Him, forces me to conclude. that lknowing God is the best thing that has happened in my life, and following Christ's pattern has been the greatest challenge ever of- fered me. I expect to make mistakes, but my faith is that God will somehow use each experience to eventually make me better qualified to serve mankind. PROPOSAL THREE:, Reapportionment Seen As HoldingLittle Change By ALICE BOGDONOFF" Commenting on the recently passed State reapportionment pro- posal number three, two University state government experts said that the new plan "will not make too much difference in the present set up." Prof. Daniel McHargue of the political science department an- ticipated that the number of representatives in the Legislature's House will not reach the set maxi- mum of 110, but "will probably!- . only go to 107 or 108 members." Vietminh Fail Before the proposal was passed in this month's election, the max- imum number of representativesZn NAt ch was 100. ._ SL Booklet The Student Legislature's information packed election handbook, "Know Your Candi- dates," will be distributed to- day in housing units through- out the campus. Containing the candidates' platforms and a summary of their experience in campus ac- tivities, the booklets are in- tended as a handy guide in the Tuesday and Wednesday all- campus elections. Information about the driv- ing ban referendum will also be included. H"ST, Ike To Discuss Vital :Issues By The Associated Press The White House gave a tip-off yesterday that vital foreign polic, defense and money matters will dominate next Tuesday's White House talks between President Truman and President - elect Dwight D. Eisenhower. This was indicated in the an- nouncement of the key figures who will sit in on the talks after Tru- man and Eisenhower first meet alone. * * * ON THE administration side, the list includes Secretary bf State Acheson, Secretary 'of Defense Lovett, Secretary of the Treasury Snyder and Mutual' Security Ad- ministrator W. Averell Harriman. At Eisenhower's side will be Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. of Massachusetts and Detroit bank- er Joseph M. Dodge. Lodge is already gathering "top secret" information from the Tru- man administration in his role as advance scout for Eisenhower; Dodge is busy consulting with bud- get officials. Meanwhile in Augusta, Ga., Eis- enhower said that Gov. Thomas E. Dewey had "emphatically re- affirmed" at a policy conference that he is not available for a cab- inet post in the new Republican administration. ROK's Win Back Sniper Ridge Tap By The Associated Press Indominatable South Korean in- fantrymen early today won back the crest of Sniper Ridge on the Central Korean Front for the 15th time. Front reports said the sturdy Republic of Korea soldiers fought through the night and regained the crest-Pinpoint Hill-at dawn. Details were lacking. In Munsan the United Nations Command charged yesterday that a Communist bullet killed a U.S. Navy medical corpsman on neutral soil near Panmunjom, and Red of- ficers angrily broke off an inquiry after the Allies refused to produce the body. Conference Title Hangs in Balance Samuels To Flowers Combination Holds Key to Boilermaker Offense By JOHN JENKS Associate Sports Editor A probable Big Ten title and a Rose Bowl trip will go on the line this afternoon when Michigan meets Purdue in a real "blue chip" battle before 55,000 Stadium fans. The winner of today's clash will be favored to tie for the confer- ence crown at worst, while the loser will drop out of the running well into the column of also-rans. * * * * BOTH CLUBS are expected to be keyed up to sky-high pitch for the tilt, which accounts for the fact that the odds have steadily "dropped from a 13 point Boiler- 1 maker advantage a 'Week ago to Localpoliceeven money at kickoff time.

Cheering and half-heartedly hindering cars, the fans, spurred on by the band, marched down YSP's Increase Menbership; Meet 'U' Quota Campus Young Progressives, who earlier in the week feared loss of recognition because of under- quota membership, announced last night that the 30-member require- ment had been fulfilled. A number of students who pre- viously "had been doubting join- ing the club" added their names to the 20 members listed Tuesday to meet the quota, according to Marge Buckley, '53, YP chairman. YP members at the Tuesday night meeting expressed the feel- ing that membership had dropped since a University policy allowing campus political clubs to keep membership lists secret was res- cinded in October. Accovding to the Office of Stu- dent Affairs, no deadline had been set for the YP's fulfillment of the membership quota and as soon as the completed list is turned in, the group will have officially renewed their recognition for the semester. State St. to Feriry Field. Here em- cees Howard Nemerovski, '54E, and Leroy Miller, '56A&D, began the entertainment with a take off on the well known pre-game interview with one of the star players. DICK SMITH, '53BAd, the nigh stepping drum major, gave a peppy demonstration of his baton twirl- ing. Cheers, such as the Wolver- ine Chant and the Speller Loco- motive, preceeded two of the star features of the program. Last year's football captain Bill Putich gave a pep talk illus- trated with .experiences of his own football career. "Michigan will rise to great heights," he said, predicting a Wolverine vic- tory. In response to "Roll 'em up" J. Fred Lawton, composer of "Var- ,sity," revealed a flashy pair of argyle socks. In response to the same chant - he went further by removing his tie and one of the two plaid shirts he was wearing. Lawton continued' his enter- tainment by leading the band and fans in an enthusiastic rendition of "Varsity." To finish his part in the program, Lawton introduced 'Affair JBlum9 . . One of the most celebrated films to come out of Europe since the end of the war, "The Affair Blum" will be presented at 5:30, 7:05 and 9:10 p.m. today and ,8 p.m. Sun- day at the Architecture Auditor- ium. Charles A. Baldwin of the class of 1911 and then presented Prof. Wil- liam D. Revelli who ended the pro- gram by introducing the assist- ant band director and leading the fans in the "Yellow and Blue." Levin Gives Future Plans Of LocalSDA Sander Levin, national presi- dent of the Students for Demo- cratic Action, yesterday outlined a prospective program for the com- ing months at a meeting of the campus SDA.-. The Columbia University stu- dent told local members that "it is essential that liberals stick to- gether," and maintained "positive measures must be presented in the next few years.'" Chief among the issues SDA must tackle is the McCarran Act, dealing with immigration, Levin said. He felt the group should work toward rescinding the "anti--Dem- ocratic" bill and substitute the Lehman-Humphries bill. He outlined a two-fold plan for implementing the bill's retraction: (1) A campus speakers program, which will be handled through both the national and local chap- ter, and will aim at bringing pres- sure to bear on Senators Charles Potter and Homer Ferguson. (2) Distribution of a pamphlet, to be printed nationally, which an- alyzes the bill. By BOB JAFFE Local, county and state police will drain their manpower barrels to police the football game today. Everyone on the Ann Arbor po- lice force, from the chief down to the patrolmen will be on duty to help direct the expected crowd of 55,000. Coupled with the 54 Ann Arbor police will be 50 Michigan State police, and 18 from the Washtenaw County Sheriff's of- fice. S * * IN ADDITION to directing traf- fIic, they will put up No Parking signs prior to the game on the main streets and those within a five block radius of the .stadium. To cope with the floor of traf- fic entering the city the police have set up a "point control" plan. This plan, operative on the city's main arteies, allows driv- ers to move faster on these crowded thoroughfares. This is done by coordinating the more than 100 officers directing traf- fic on these streets so that all east-west traffic will be halted while the north-south traffic is moving and vice-versa. After the game gets underway, the policemen-who had previously been directing the traffic in the "point control" system, will sta- tion themselves by the aisles and on the stadium field. The police will resume their pre- game stations after the game to help direct the outgoing crowd. Hatcher To Attend College Council President Harlan H.

PROF. McHARGUE explained that the same system will be used for determining representation. The main feature of this system is the moiety clause which en- titles each district to °a represen- tative which has over 50 per cent of the population required for a full district. r "In this way," Prof. McHar- gue said, "the outstate counties are assigned representation first and then areas such as Wayne County gets what is left." The x political scientist pointed out that . Wayne County has always been "cut short," but by this proposal will make a little gain in representation. Prof. Ferrel Heady, also of the political science department, agreed that Wayne County would receive the "whole gain" from the new amendment. He added that using population as the sole basis of representation, Wayne County will still not have its due represen- tation. Pointing to one of the major improvements resulting from the new plan, Prof. Heady commented that Pow a city can be divided into districts instead of having the representation, elected at large. He also explained that as regards + te Rnsaip amham, t W-v. HANOI, Indochina-(/P)-French Union forces smashed a strong Vietminh attack yesterday on the Roman Catholic city of Phat Diem, at the southeastern rim of the Red River delta's defenses. The French said this was the most important action in the delta in a year. ing to lead it out of the desert and into the promised land. ALL THREE have contributed substantially to the Boilermakers' success thus far, which includes three wins, two loses, and two ties, the losses being to Notre Dame and Michigan State, two of the more potent outfits in the area. In seven games Samuels has completed 80 of 145 passes for a .551 average, good for.890 yards and nine touchdowns. See WOLVERINES, Page 3 * * * 'U' Flashcard Group To End Season .Today The Block M flashcard section will bow out on its longest season in many years today. The final appearance will in- clude a welcome to Purdue and a salute to Michigan. In hopes that the Wolverines or its opponent will be the Big Ten champion, the sec- tion will display "Big. 10" perched on a gold crown. Off and on since 1910, the Uni- versity has boasted of a flash- card section, but this is the first time in a. long time that it has given more than two perform- ances. Arriving in the middle of the football season four years ago, the flashcards saw little use.. This year they have been action in four games where the section has executed many stunts entirely under student direction. In this respect the University's group dif- fers from many flashcard sections which are athletic club supported, and have professionals design their displays. Sponsored - by the Wolverine Club, the section is under the dip rection of Jack Gray, '53BAd, nd Dorothy Fink, '55. Looker. Wants- ALL-CAMPUS ELECTIONS DRAW NEAR: SL Candidates Work Hard on Campaigns, Poster Stunts By TERI YOUNGMAN As the SL election campaign moves into the home stretch, candi- dates are intensifing their effdrts to bring their names and platforms before the students. "We do everything but sleep," one candidate remarked. For the average prospective legislator the day really begins about 3 p.m. He will probably spend the afternoon visiting one or two dormitories, meeting students by the informal method of knocking on doors, and introducing himself. * * * * THIS IS A GOOD method for contacting people individually, but the candidate tries to see as many as possible. Since the best time to find a large group of students at home is during the dinner hour, many candidates give up their own meal in order to talk to students at this time. One female candidate commented that she has lost five pounds since she decided to run for SL. * * * * By HARRY LUNN Student Legislature candidates have managed to dig up all the traditional poster ideas and create a few zany, original designs for this fall's campaign. It's impossible to walk down any of the streets in campus-town without running into a colorful barrage of campaign signs staring you in the face from a store windlow. * * * * WHILE MANY aspirants flocked to campus printers with their campaigning ideas, others decided to cut costs by producing home-made jobs. The signs, on the whole, are remarkably staid, although one candidate advertises himself as a "fighting" future legislator, while others have outlined their platforms in brief on the posters. Most of the female candidates took care to include pictures of themselves on the literature, but "personality" shots of the men 2 ~ ~
