Titled "The Film in America," the experimental course will survey the notablL artistic achievements of films and the significant cul- tural relationships between the films and society. THE CINEMA is a distinctly American creative form.

Beginning with the silent movie, the lecture will trace the devel- opment of artistic techniques through various stages to the be- ginning of the present era of sound films. THE COURSE will be given Thursday evenings until April 1.

ICC House A pproaches Fund Goal The Inter-cooperative Council is nearing its goal of $5,000, in the fund drive for repairs of their new- ly-acquired house at 803 E. King- sley. The money, when raised, will be used to buy a fire escape for the third floor, partitioning for several of the apartments, plumbing fix- tures, electrical fixtures and some furniture. * * * OVER 50 PEOPLE have pledged $4,000, and $3,000 has already been collected. Pledges range from $10 to $1,000. The benefactors have a choice of charging 3 per cent in- terest on the money they give, or they can give it free of charge. The loans will reach maturity in 3 to 5 years, and one loan has a ma- turity date in 1999, The drive is keyed mostly to present co-opers, ex co-op mem- bers, and friends. Stefan Vail, Grad., the chairman of the drive, feels that if members contribute to the drive, their interest in co-ops will cause them to put the interest on their loans back into the co-ops, and lower inter- est rates can be charged. With this plan, the ICChopes to elim- inate the $2,000 paid out yearly to banks and non-members. -Daily-Dean Morton IS BIG SISTER REALLY WATCHING YOU?-Thelma Rubin- owitz, '57, and Joyce Silver, '57, peer at the portrait that appeared mysteriously on the Diag Monday morning.

Contributing to a panel discus- sion on. "The Consumption Out- look and Implications for Federal Economic Policy" conducted by the Joint Congressional Commit- tee on the Economic Report, he added that consumers consider the present as a fairly good time to Banquet Slated By Lane Hall In observance of National Brotherhood Week, Lane Hall will sponsor a banquet at 6 p.m., Feb. 16 in the recreational room of Lane Hall, and workshops on Feb. 16- 18.

The workshops, designed for all University students and staff, have as their theme "Techniques in Bettering Human Relations." make large postponable purchases. LICKERT said that consumers with above average incomes were more optimistic than those with lower incomes and that only those in the higher income groups felt that "now" was a good time to buy. "Those income groups who have the greatest purchasing power are, therefore, those whose economic outlook is most likely to lead them to maintain substantial purchases," he sum- mized. In his report, Likert cited much data from Consumer Finance Sur- veys made by the Survey Research Center, a division of the Institute for Social Research, for the Fed- eral Reserve Board. "These Consumer Finance Sur- veys have shown that consumers behave differently from what the traditional economic assumptions would indicate," Likert told the panel. * * * HE CITED predominant pessi- mism in 1949 of businessmen, gov- ernment officials, and economists which contrasted directly to the more oitimistic conclusions of the 1949 Survey of Consumer Finance report that indicated intentions to buy and was correct. Motivational data as well as economic data is needed to accu- rately predict consumer spending. Likert explained, "Consumers must not only have economic resources in order to spend but they must SL Agendae Student Legislature will meet at 7:30 p.m. today in Strauss House dining Rm. of East Quad- rangle to discuss the following topics: Dates for SL elections Constitutional committee re- port Final examination schedule Lecture committee report Student Book Exchange re- sults Cinema Guild report Reports on system of regis- tration at Michigan State Col- lege and MSC student govern- ment Student Book Store Committee reports All interested faculty mem- bers and students have been in- vited by SL to attend the meet- ing.

'U' RQTC Grads , Get Commissions Prize Play Dramatizes Police Life "Detective Story. a play by Pu- litzer Prize-winner Sidney King- sley, will be presented by the Stu- dent Players Feb. 17-20 at Lydia Mendelssohn Theater. The play had its genesis in a phrase often used in speeches by Gen. George C. Marshall while he was Secretary of State-"the po- lice state." Once this phrase had engaged the 'famous playwright's imagina- tion, according to an interview with him in the New York Times just before his plays scored its pot- able hit on Broadway, he visualized a microcosm of the police state in one of our police stations. Kingsley spent nearly a year hobnobbing with policemen, de- tectives and prosecutig attor- neys in New York, and then wrote his play about the. uses and abuses of force in an imag- inary "Twenty-first Precinct" and by implication in all human society. All the action takes place in one big setting, the detectives' squad- room of a station-house. Kingsley has said, "I have tried to give the audience an impression of looking at a great panoramic slice of life - tragic and comic, brainless and thoughtful, ribald and innocent, all the aspects of life seen in a police station. From that, I hope, I envoke in the audi- ence a feeling and understanding of the very great need to keep po- lice power out of the hands of dangerous men. Posten Speaks on New Public Health Concept Dr. Rich rd Posten of the Uni- versity o Southern Illinois chal- lenged public health officials and students to "shake off the tradi- tional limitations of the profes- sion and to take the leadership in rebuilding real and vital commun- ity life." Speaking at the John Sundwall Memorial Lecture, Dr. Posten trac- ed the change and destruction of communities effected by our in- distrial and technological society. He added that public health officials can no longer simply take "health" out of the whole social context but must widen their scope to contend with the entire fabric and patern of so- ciet. Allowing "the profession to be- come an end instead of serving as a means dedicated to the welfare of man and society" was a danger also cited. Dr. Posten said that the question, "How can we create a social framework in which man will be motivated to regard human values?" must be faced. Read To Discuss Painting Conflict "The Fundamental Conflict in Modrn Art" will be' discussed by Sir Herbert Read, world-renown- ed literary and art critic, at 4:15 p.m. tomorrow in Aud.
