LXIV, No. 42 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, ,SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1953 EIGHT PAGES S -3 y; Purposes of SL Debated inRace Issue Centers on Whether SL Will Perform Services or Make Policy (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the last in a series of six interpretive articles on campaign issues involved in this week's Student Legislature elections.) By DOROTHY MYERS Why have a Student Legislature? Discussion of the purpose of a student government on campus has been one of the focal points in the current campaign of SL can- didates. CRUX of the matter is whether SL should be a policy-making body, which urges the University Administration to accept its policies and to recognize a student 'right' to aid in University policy forma- tion, or whether it should be mainly a service body, providing stu- dents with better Cinema Guild movies, a bigger student book store, exchange dinners and Homecoming Dances. Controversy over the issue started to grow last year, when it was charged that service projects were over-emphasized by the Legislature, and came to a head Wednesday over SL's failure to take a policy stand on the Radulovich case. Many of those who voted no on the Radulovich motion, ex- pressed belief that such policy stands were not the Legislature's true function, while vehemently opposing views were expressed by oth- ers, both SL members and individual students. "SL HAS BEEN fooled by the attitude of University administra- tors who say it must prove itself before it gets any real recognition and non-vetoable power from the University," one SL member as- serted. "Legislature members fail to recognize," the member added, "that SL will never get any power from the Administration by merely performing simple service functions that could better be . taken by some other campus group." Originally service projects were adopted by SL only as a stop-gap measure in cases whdre other campus organizations refused to take needed action, the member claimed, adding that now the Legisla- ture makes no attempt to find out whether other groups will take up certain service projects before SL itself adoptsthme. * * * * A VIEW often expressed by non-Legislature members is that it is SL's duty either to implement previously-declared policy stands or openly rescind them, rather than merely allowing the bills to lie dormant. Included In the group of policy declarations mentioned by SL's critics that have received little or no attention by this fall's Legislature are one which says local fraternity chapters must work for removal of bias clauses in their constitutions and another which says discriminatory scholarships should not be accepted by the University. Although the bias clause bill was vetoed by University President Harlan H. Hatcher, SL's failure to continue its work on problems in either bill at the committee level has aroused much recent criticism. Legislature inactivity on the "Fair Play" anti-discrimination stickers has been held as the main reason for a referendum on the issue, initiated by a disgruntled former Legislature member and signed by 643 students who seemingly also want SL action on the issue. ) * * * * IN SPITE of rising campus controversy over the Legislature's 'correct' function, most candidates apparently do not feel SL has oyer-emphasized service projects. In a questionnaire sent to all candidates, by The Daily, only nine said they believed SL was spending so much time on service projects that it neglected its duties as the main campus parlia- mentary body and voice of students. Replies of the candidates may indicate that in the future SL will be devoted to even more service projects and that fewer policy stands than at present will be considered by the -student parliament. ; [World News Roundup Committee Studies New LS&A Plan Dean Odegaard Views Changes Discussions ar under way by the Curriculum Committee of the literary college for possible chang- es in distribution requirements and course sequences for the academic year 1954-55. One change, already passed by the committee, is a new social science sequence for freshmen in- volving introductory courses in sociology and psychology. Under the new plan, freshmen will be able to partially fulfill the social science requirement by electing an introductory course in each sub- ject, forming a two-semester se- quence. - * THE INTRODUCTORY courses, equivalent to Sociology 51 and Psychology 31, will be expanded to four credit hours each for fresh- men. Special sections- for stud- ents desiring sociology first will be available, as well as other sections for students who prefer to take the psychology course first. Another proposed change un- der consideration is a new in- troductory course in zoology, numbered Zoology, 11. This course will be primarily intend- ed for non-science majors, as apart from the present Zoology 1 open to all students. Speaking to the University Alumnae Council yesterday, Dean Charles Odegaard of the literary college said that many other pro- jects were also under considera- tion at the present time. Dean Odegaard stressed .the continued development of the cur- riculum, first, in regard to exist- ing courses, and then in regard to new courses. "This constant effort to improve the liberal education offered by the University," he ex- plained, "is a significant key to the growth of the University." "CHANGES that come through the faculty are improvements that have a valid basis," he said. "A constant effort to integrate a liberal education," the Dean said, "will be the basis of solid growth of the University and offset dis-: integration of the intellectual life in the present world.

NEW YORK-(M1-A surprise pre-winter snowstorm combined. with jet winds and raging flood tides created havoc in the north- east Friday night and yesterday cost at least 18 lives. Tides climbing five to six feet above normal high water levels forced evacuation of thousands of families on the New York, New Jersey and New England coasts to higher ground. WAVES reportedly 20 feet high crashed against the New England coast. Winds of 60 to 70 miles an hour whipped the area, with gusts of 105 miles an hour recorded by the weather station on top of New Hampshire's Mt. Washington. The storm halted train, sub- way, airplane ' and ferryboat service in much of the New York metropolitan area. LaGuardia airport, threatened with flood for a time by. waves pounding against a 13 foot dike, cancelled 68 flights. Most of the transportation services were restored as the tides and winds subsided later in the day. Fallen wires cut off electricity to about 50,000 homes on Long Is- land. . * * ** TREACHEROUS pavements gen- erally held traffic to a snail's pace and comparatively few auto crash- es were reported. From all along the northeast coast came similar stories of streets and first floors flooded, sometimes with water waist deep and emergencies were proclaimed in some shore towns. 'U'Requests Building Funds L e g i s l a tu r e appropriations amounting to $14,337,000 have been -requ.ested by the University for construction of new buildings, improvement and modernization of existing facilities and advance planning. A breakdown of the total indi- cates that $8,633,000 is being re- .quested for new constructior, $5,- 430,000 for modernization and $274,000 for special maintenance projects. THE REQUEST is nearly five million more than last year's figure. However, of the $9,930,000 requested then only about 15 per cent was granted. Among the largest items in this year's request are $185,000 for a medical'science building, and $1,800,000 respectively for an automotive engineering lab- oratory and a new music school building, both to be located on the North Campus.
