WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1952 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE I ____________________________ U Attackers of UNESCO Hit By Professor 'U' Men Figure In Organization A rising drumfire of attack on the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organiza- tion has brought a sharp rebuttal from one of the men most influ- ential in UNESCO affairs in Mich- igan, Prof. William Clark Trow, of the University's School of Educa- tion. "Those who attack UNESCO," Prof. Trow charged, ."are either malicious or misinformed." RECENT campaigns against UNESCO, highlighted by a spec- tacular row over teaching about the United Nations in Los Ange- les' public schools, have alleged that the United States National Commission for UNESCO is at- tempting to spread the concepts of an over-all world government and world citizenship. Some opponents of UNESCO have used these allegations as the basis for charges that UNESCO is Communist-infil- trated. Corroborating Prof. Trow's statement, the National Comis- sion has reaffirme dits resolv to "support a program for education, of peoples to live as citizens of sovereign states preserving the values of diverse cultures and the rights and responsibilities of na- tional citizenship." FAR FROM being Communist- infiltrated, UNESCO leaders point to the fact that the Soviet Union has consistently refused to join the organization-though 65 na- tions are now members. The University has enjoyed particularly close associations with UNESCO ever since it was established. A campus UNESCO Council has always been active and University faculty members have participated in the organ- ization to great extent. Newly-elected chairman of the U. S. National Commission for UNESCO is former visiting politi- cal science Prof. Walter Laves, who is credited with having shar- pened up the whole UNESCO pro- gram. Laves was the deputy .dir- ector-general of the organization before coming to the University. And vice-chairman to Laves is University sociologist Prof. Robert C. Angell, named by the State De- partment to the U.S. delegation attending the seventh UNESCO conference in Paris. Other University figures active in UNESCO and at the conference are literary college Dean Charles E. Odegaard, Institute for Social Research Director Rensis Likert, and Dean Willard C. Olson and Prof. Howard Y. McClusky, of the School of Education. New Role Seen For Stevenson Draft, Deferment, System Outlined A VISIT TO SAINT NICHOLAS ... Ann Arbor style . * . * * * Local Store Santa L ooks Forward to Yuletide Job {y)...... ._._. By DIANE DECKER The Christmas season started Dec. 1 for Rha Arnold, alias Santa Claus. At that time, "Santa" bade his reindeer and the North Pole fare- well, and climbed into a chair at a local department store, where between 50 and 100 children visit him every afternoon. The jolly gentleman's day does not always end in the afternoon,' Safety Council Lists Roundup Of Accidents (Continued from Page 2) rowhead when he slipped. He fell 200 feet virtually straight down, landed on a nearly vextical rock- slide, rolled and tumbled down the slide for 1,000 feet, then took another long drop and roll before reaching the foot of the cliff. He didn't break a bone. A real hardy kid. "Here's a tip for aggressive automobiles: when you hit Joe Strauss' car, duck! For it hits right back. The Strauss car was struck as it made a left turn in Indianapolis. It rolled with the punch into the pathof another car. This second impact sent the Strauss car around in a. full circle, and it crashed resound- ingly into the rear of the auto which had struck it in the first place. A cheering note in the gener- ally grim traffic situation is a no- ticeable trend toward hardier pe- destrians. In Portland, Ore., a sturdy jaywalker dashed through a busy intersection against a red light, smashed into a car driven by Kenneth E. Phillips, demolish- ing the radio antenna, and kept right on going-a hit-skip pedes- trian! And in Atlantic City, 240- pound Dominick Ianscoli merely laughed when an auto struck him, shook hands cordially with the driver and helped him push the car to a garage where a mechanic estimated it would cost $300 to fix up the bashed-in radiator.. for he is often loaned out to church groups for evening parties. But with his day of spreading Christ- mas over, he goes home to a wife and three children of his own. HOW DOES one get to be a Santa Claus? a< Arnold fell naturally into the role. Most of his life was spent in YMCA work and in teaching. Dur- ing the "off-season," he is em- ployed.by the store but he looks forward to his Yule-tide job be- cause "I miss kids. I like to be with them." "It's really a thrill to have them come up to you and open their eyes," he continued. Arnold maintains that whatever the state of the world, children to- day are much as they were 20 years ago, at least in their choice of Christmas presents. Dolls still top the list for little girls, boys want trains and cowboy outfits- with two guns. HOWEVER, "SANTA" Arnold never promises his youthful vis- itors anything, unless their par- ents are on hand to nod a "yes." Sometimes, he revealed parents persuade him to tie .a string to a gift, such as, "if you clean up your plate every night" or "if you keep your room neat and tidy." Some children, as young as five years old, "generally their folks are University people," he said, denounce him as a fake. "The only time it really bothers me," Arnold explained, "is when the parents haven't told them the real meaning of Christmas. Some children don't even know what they're celebrating." Although Arnold has a virtual monopoly of the Santa role at present, he will have some com- petition on Saturday (Dec. 13) when the Junior Chamber of Com- merce will fly its version of the Christmas spirit directly from the Pole to Ann Arbor, where he will participate in a parade and play host to local children at a party. Wolverine Club Cleared ofCharge Taxi-owner Roy Milligan was in the wrong in attempting to pre- vent Wolverine Club buses from taking students to and from Wil- low Run Airport, according to a decision announced by Bud Char- lip, Spec., of the Wolverine Club. This conclusion was reached at a meeting attended by Mr. MiIH- gan and representatives of the Greyhound Company, which rent- ed the buses to the club. Neither the Wolverine Club nor the Greyhound company will press charges. Charlip also announced that the Wolverine Club is going ahead with its plans for Christmas bus service to the airport. Read and Use Daily Classifieds ROTC Open to College Students; Graduates Face Four Alternatives By JERRY HELMAN With the world situation in its present turbulent state, men en- rolled in colleges as full time students and not in the ROTC exist in a limbo-out of the Army for the time being, but subject to the draft at any time. Students can get a deferment while in college in several ways. They can joint the Reserve Officers Training Corp of any branch of the service. This will permit a deferment until graduation, after which a commission and a twa year stint in the armed services is usually awarded. * * * * DURING HIS STAY in college, the ROTC student is given train- ing in any division of the armed service he wishes. Following active duty, he becomes a member of the active reserves for six years. Non-ROTC students can gain deferments till the end of the academic year or until receipt of their diploma, on the basis of class standing or College Qualification Test grades. However, deferment on .this basis is at the discretion of the local draft board. Although appeal to the State board is possible and in most cases advisable, local boards can brush aside grades and test scores in order to meet their quota. UNCERTAINTY as to the future applies to an even greater degree in the case of seniors, who after graduation face the alter- natives of waiting for Selective Service to come up with their number,j enlisting, finding an essential job or being declared 4-F. A volunteer has the distinct advantage of being able to choose what type of specialized training he wants to take up and, with few exceptions, he gets what he wants. In addition, many colleges recog- nize and give credit for certain courses which are offered by the armed services.; * * *, * ON THE OTHER HAND, the student who is drafted is allowed; to indicate preference and, after classification according to profes- sional and academic background, is placed in work for which the Army thinks he is best suited. There are few other differences between enlistment and the draft. Enlistment terms are for three years and up, while Selective Service is two years (subject to revision without notice at any time by Congress). Also, after discharge, the volunteer serves six years in the "stand- by" reserves, which is called to action only after the "ready" re- serves, in which the discharged draftee goes for six years, have been mobilized. * * * * IN OTHER RESPECTS, there is no difference between the man whois drafted or enlists. Deferment on the basis of an essential job is only temporary. Essential jobs fall into the general category of research and develop- ment.

TO DON RED SUIT: Ann Arbor Santa Claus Finishes. 22,000th Toy David Gives Discussion On Oratorio In conjunction with the Wo- men's Glee Club annual Christmas concert tomorrow night, Prof. Hans David of the School of Mu- sic lectured on the subject "Hein- rich Schutz and his Christmas Oratorio" yesterday. Offering some background on the life of Schutz, Prof. David told of the composer's boyhood and training as a lawyer. "Probably no other first rate musician fought so hard to keep from becoming one," he said. When Schutz finally decided to make music his life work, he began studying with Gabrielli and eventually became head of the chapel at Dresden where he remained for fifty years. His famous \ oratorio, "The Christmas Story" which will be performed by the Women's Glee Club at -8:30 p.m. Thursday in Hill Aud. is taken from the biblical texts of Matthew and Luke, be- ginning with the announcement of the taxation and ending with the flight to Egypt. It begins with. an introduction of explanation and ends with a conclusion of thanksgiving sung by two choirs. To illustrate the basic concepts of solo style elements making up the majority of movements bf the Christmas oratorio, Prof. David played several selections of rec- ords. By HELENE SIMON Most American children think of Santa Claus as a plump and white-bearded old man in a- red suit; but to thousands of sick, handicapped and homeless Michi- gan children he is a slight wiry spectacled individual. For 48 years Albert Warnhoff has been devoting his after work hours to making toys for bed-rid- den, blind and orphaned child- ren, but this is the first time he will be appearing to them in a Santa Claus suit. THIS CHRISTMAS will bring the number of free toys Ann Ar- bor's Santa has designed and built to 22,000. "My toymaking has brought me more pleasure than money could buy," Warnhoff says. Warnhoff's basement work- shop is crammed with rows of wooden cradles, dogs, cats, boats and doll furniture. Warnhoff's avocation as a toy- maker began when he was 16 years old. "One of the neighbor's little' girls was sick with diptheria so I made her a cradle and a doll to cheer her up. It made her so hap- py that the doctor told me I should keep on with my good work," he said. Although most people will sit back and relax after the rush of the holiday season, Warnhoff im- mediately will begin making toys for next Christmas. "I get too lonely looking at those empty shelves in my basement," he said. lI _- A I I Y I I I ril II YI Y // tli 13 SHOPPING DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS I * * THIS IS THE SEASON of increased shopping, hurried Christmas preparations, and happy times.

Prof. Slosson also thought there was the possibility that Steven- son might run for a senatorial post in Illinois so as to be in a firmer position to secure the Democratic nomination in 1956. * . * ALTHOUGH most observers be- lieve that it is too early to specu- late on the beginning of a new era in the American ' party system, several University experts feel that formation of a strong "opposition" party might conceivably pattern itself after the British party struc- ture. .r"As the policy of the new House and Senate develops," said Prof. Eldersveld, "the Dem- ocratic party will need unified leadership. Prof. Eldersveld believed that the Democrats should establish a definite program during the Re- publican administration and act in an intelligent and responsible manner. THINGS looked a little rugged for Air Force Capt. Fred C. Seals of Dallas, Tex., when he fell out the wide-open door of a mile-high C-46 cargo plane as the plane lurched violently in bad weather while dropping supplies to G. I.'s in Korea. But just as he struggled desperately to pull the ripcord of his parachute, the plane hit an air, pocket, -dipped sharply downward and scooped the plunging airman neatly back aboard through the same door he had used as an exit. Also surprised and grateful was Flier Joe Wardle of Salt Lake City, Utah, at the way his forced landing turned out. Head- ing for an open highway and an emergency landing when his single engine died, Wardle pull- ed up the nose of his small plane preparatory to touching ground. He felt the wheels hit and sat there waiting for the plane to stop rolling. Instead, it continued brisk- ly down the road. Perplexed, he peeked out and was understandab- ly astonished to discover the plane had landed astride a moving auto. The driver of the car was sur- prised too. Nobody was hurt, lit- tle damage done. By JANET FORD When a fellow and his girl stop under a sprig of mistletoe at Christmas time they seldom think of the plant's historical or .relig- ious significance. The practice of hanging mistle- toe from doorways during the hol- idays is an old Celtic custom. It was used in religious ceremonies as far back as the pre-Christian era. * * * LEGEND has it that on Dec. 22 the Druid priests would trudge off to their oak grove retreats to gather the sacred mistletoe there. The chief Druid would hack it down with a golden sickle while two white oxen were sac- rificed. The society used the boughs for decorations in cele- brating the beginning of winter. Local Druids are less reverent with their use of mistletoe. Dick Demmer, '53, a member of the senior men's honorary society says, "It's the berries!" * *: * THE MODERN Yuletide custom of kissing under a sprig of mistle- toe probably has its origin in an old Teutonic legend. Balder, the handsome god of light and peace is slain by a dart of mistletoe--the only thing that could harm him. When he is restored to life, the mistletoe is given to the goddess of Love and everyone who passes -un- der it receives a kiss to show that it is anemblem of love and not of death. Early American Indians knew of the species of mistletoe which I For everyone L V " "* " o r on your gift list!
