EXECUTIVE KIDSTON:
Retiring IHC President Recalls Career

By GENE IHARTWIG
Retiring Inter-House Council
President Roger Kidston, '56L,
was born with a gavel in one hand
a copy of "Robert's Rules" in the
other and a desk piled high with
papers in front of him.
"Piloting the IHC through its
first big year has been hard work,"
Kidston admitted, pushing him-
self back from the newly acquired
steel desk in the IHC's Union of-
fices, "and it's not over yet."
* * *
ON THE table stood law school
casebooks on property, covered
with the fait tinge of dust which
Kidston says its now time to brush
off.
Landing on campus four years
ago after a high school career
that included everything from
debate championship to break-
ing and training horses, Kid-
ston said, "I was exhausted and
set for a long vacation."
The vacation lasted only 15
weeks, however, for by his second
semester the future IHC head had
embarked on a career in quad gov'-
enent.
"The first two years I mostly
went to classes," Kidston remark-
ed, still there was time for work
in the Admissions Office, debate
and a steady climb to the quad
council in residence hall govern-
ment.
M ti*
ON MARCH .15, 1951, the Sun-
day School Superintendent from
Plymouth, Mich., joined the Ma-
rine Reserves and spent that sum-
mer "my first real experience away
from home"-at the Paris Island
boot camp.
By his third year the predes-
tined law student was president
of Hayden House and East Quad,
a founder and charter member
of Quadrants, quardangle hon-
orary, and a joint chairman of
the budding Inter-house Coun-
cil.
While the rest of the campus
went home for summer last year,
Kidston picked up his books and
headed for Law School here where
he enrolled in the accelerated pro-
gram.
September foud him back at
work, this time as president of
IHC. Giving foundation and sta-
bility to the fledgling organiza-
tion of quadrangle governments
was Kidston's main task, with
membership in Michigamua and
a voting seat on the Residence1
Halls Board of Governors absorb-
ing the remainder of his time.
TAKING A broad view of the
function of residence halls in the1
University, Kidston says, "The
academic is only half the picture,
of a college education. A person
has to find his own balance be-
tween academic and other activi-
ties.
"Since people live in groups all
their lives, they've got to learn
to get along, and this is where
the residence halls or any hous-
ing unit fits in."
"The residence halls are the}
ideal place because of the highly
diff erent types and kinds of per-
sons living there," Kidston feels.;

Elections
Senior officers of the School
of Education will be elected
from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. today and
tomorrow in a booth outside of
the Education school office, ac-
cording to John Black, '54Ed,

of Education senior class.
Last Quartet
Concert Set
For Tonight
The Stanley Quartet will pre-
sent its last concert of the semes-
ter at 8:30 p.m. today in Rack-
ham Lecture Hall.
Opening number on the pro-
gram will be Mozart's "K. 575 in
D major," followed by Milhaud's
"Quintet No. 2," which was com-
missioned for the group by the
University in 1952.

sic school Professors Gilbert
Ross, first violin; Emil Raab,

"OF COURSE they didn't tell
me any more than was necessary
for their purposes. However, some-
times they would talk to me about
the information I brought them."
She could not be specific.
"What I gave them I think
was a help to them in the short
run but not in the long run.
"They never said anythingj
about it, of course, but I am pret-
ty sure there ai'e other student'

THE NEWS spread quickly. The
graduate student is well known.
It seemed as though a lot of
names had been "turned in." Ev-
eryone who had been in the gra-
duate student's apartment since
December was talking and worry-
ing about it.
"He gave a big surprise'birth-
day party at his apartment for
her. Did she take down the
names of those at her own birth-
day party?" one student won-
dered.
"Our first reaction was com-
plete surprise and complete dis-
gust with the girl," another stu-
dent said.
EASTER vacation intervened.
The girl withdrew from the Uni-
versity and went to Canada.
("I did not leave primarily
for this reason. I have been In
poor health for many years. I
was born here and have always
planned to return.")
"Now most of us feel sorry for
her. She has alienated herself
from everyone," a third student
said.
Her affidavit ends: "I wish now
to break my association with the
FBI. I feel that by betraying the
confidence of my friends I have
wronged both them and myself.
By making this statement I feel I
can do something to atone for the
harm I have done and to help re-
deem myself in the eyes of my
fellow students."

Speaking before the Economics
Club yesterday, Prof. John Jewkes
of Oxford University presented a
strong case for conservatism in
economic intervention by govern-
ment.
The visiting professor at the
University of Chicago Law School
pointed out that when govern-
ment assumes more economic con-
trol, it is accepting extensive duties
from which it can not easily de-
part.
"Since more government is con-
nected with worse government," he
said that the only escape from the
apparent dilemma is to develop
institutions through which gov-
ernment can shed extraneous bur-
