.r m THE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY, APRIL z8, 1954 TIlE ~ICHIGA~ ~1AI1Y WF.DNESDAY, APRIL 28, 1954 SL, DAILY LOSE: After Wide Sainlin* Mitts Picks IFC Crib Hears D1wson T- 11 P I ' T U IE NEWS By DEBRADURCHSLAG Legacy: a year of group spirit. A friendly yet forthright man- ner has given C. A. Mitts, retiring Interfraternity Council president, the unusual ability to make friendsalmost as quickly as ene- mies. But when working toward a particular end, this same char- acteristic has the effect of pro- moting a remarkable degree of enthusiasm. * * * "YOU ALWAYS know where you stand with C.A.," they say. And in the Interfraternity Council this has meant giving a new. measure of responsibility to all members. The Sigma Chi fraternity member has sampled quite a few campus activities before de- ciding to cast the die with IFC. As a freshman he worked on Student Legislature, IFC and sandwiched in afternoon work- outs with the swimming team. One summer he worked at The Daily as advertising manager. But IFC was the big activity for him, and after working as rushing chairman, he was elect- ed to the presidency. C.A. has been referred to as a "natural" for the office. He is a person with outspoken interests, and with IFC the interests clicked with the office. According to Mitts, the fraternity system gives a group of.men an opportunity to get to- gether and assume the responsi- bilities of organization. * * * CLASSIFYING himself as a "liberal Republican," C.A. believes in a general policy of evolution rather than revolution. On the bias clause issue, for example, Mitts feels that elimination of discrimination must be a gradual process. "In two years," he says, discriminatory clauses in frater- nities will have almost disappear- ed, but we can't force the process." Along these lines, ,the Inter- fraternity Council on this cam- pus set up a Big Ten Counseling Service which will help all in- terested fraternities in removing. national bias clauses. "The serv- ice has been set up for those that want it," Mitts explained, "but we're not forcing them to use it. Elimination of discrimin- ation is up to the men them- selves." Clifford Allen Mitts III, as he signs his law school applications, Children GetI Innoculations For Diseases More than 7000 children who participated in the thirteenth an- nual disease control program of Washtenaw County Medical So- ciety are receiving renewed protec- tion against diphtheria, smallpox and tetanus. Dr. Paul Barker, president of the society, emphasized the im- portance of continued protection aaginst these diseases. He men- tione dthat diphtheria and small- pox "will not return to this com- munity if parents secure immuni- zation of their children early in infancy and at proper intervals thereafter." In Ann Arbor Medical Society Clinics, out of the 1700 children, participating 954 have been vac- cinated for smallpox and 1364 were given diphtheria tetanus protection. In Ypsilanti, 981 were vaccinated for smallpox and 1229 were given diphtheria and tetanus shots out of 1519 children partici- pating. Including other areas of the county 7258 children participated in the program and of these 4424 were vaccinated for smallpox and 5889 received protection from diphtheria and tetanus.- On Inquiries Speaking to members of the Michigan Crib, pre-legal society, yesterday on "The Purposes and Limitations of Congressional In- quiries," Prof. John P. Dawson of the Law School emphasized that legislative powers of inquiries are almost unlimited. "No court can review the powers of legislative assemblies," he warn- ed. Since legislatures need to be fully informed, Prof. Dawson pointed out that the power of leg- fi islative investigation is extremely important in a democracy. { 4" Discussing the use and scope of the Fifth Amendment in Congres- sional inquiries, Prof. Dawson ex- plained that the idea behind the amendment began in England as 2: a common law reaction to the High Churches' practice of forcing people to incriminate themselves under oath. "Its history is the history of protest against invasion of per- sonal rights." Commenting on its present use, Prof. Dawson observ- Daily-Chuck Kesey ed, "When people plead the fifth ITTS amendment, tney are inferring sident leaves legacy that they have something to ex- tables.
