HOWDY DOODY: Objectives
Golton Recalls Four Years in Activities Of Council

By FREDDI LOEWENBERG
"You might portray me as a
man who has wasted half his timfe
in college."
Relaxing easily in a chair, Ro-
bert J. Golten, '54, recalled his
four years' of dabbling in various
campus activities. The retiring
Wolverine Club President and lit-
erary college vice-president has
served on the Union Opera execu-
tive committee and in Mimes and
Druids honoraries. Between acti-
vities the economics major has
managed to maintain a 3.4 average
in the honors program.
SHOPPING around for activi-
ties as a freshman, "Bob" joined
the Wolverine Club because it "of-
fered opportunities to meet peo-
ple, do something different, and
was co-educational." The pep club
presdient has enjoyed his four
years with it, even though it near-
ly landed him in jail once.
As Special Trips Chairman, he
wrote a $750 check on a local
bank without realizing that stu-
dent organization checks are in
a special account. When the
check bounced, he had some tall
explaining to do.
One of the founders of the pre-
sent Block 'M', Golten also was
vice-president before taking over
as president.
Commenting on school spirit, the
peppy president emphasized that
Michigan has just as much as any
other school. "We have the un-
derlying base," he explained, "it
just needs a good push to bring it
out.
He called the favorable results
in the recent flashcard section re-
ferendum "gratifying," because
they confirmed what he and the
other officers already believed.

TERMED BY one of his friends
"the biggest procrastinator I
know," easy going Bob has been
nicknamed "Howdy Doody" by his
Zeta Beta Tau fraternity brothers
because of his resemblance to that
famous puppet. Denying it all, Bob
insists it is only because everyone
in the house has to have a nick-
name, ahd the "brothers" were
desperate.
The Chicagoan recalls his ear-
ly years as uneventful ones, ex-
cept for the time a bull escaped

THE DEVELOPMENT Council's
preference for undesignated gifts
holds for corporations as well.
"The University would like undes-
ignated funds to feed the skinniest
goat as far as our needs are con-
cerned," Dickinson pointed out.
Generally, however, corporate
and foundation gifts come mark-
ed for specific projects-Gener-
al Motors will grant a sum for
industrial health research, Nash-
Kelvinator puts its money into
studies on food preservation.
Selling corporations on the idea
of making fuller use of the five
per cent tax-deductible margin is
another major problem for the
Council.
The first step is to develope a
philosophy, like the one Dickin-
son holds, to the effect that mutual
success rewards a marriage of busi-
ness and higher education, "in both
the economic and moral realm."
The next step is to set up a
corporations committee (one pres-
ently exists as a sub-group.of the
Special Gifts, Grants and Bequest
Committee) which will work close-
ly with the Public Relations divi-

House.
Asked why he chose Michigan,
Golten gives no special reason. "I
had a friend who was planning on
coming here," he explained, and
for four years I had been hearing
nothing but low wonderful the
University was. I thought it must
really be heaven on earth."
The Chicagoan adds confiden-
tially that he almost didn't come
here because he was sick of hear-

IN HIS spare time, Bob enjoys
sports; golf and tennis being his
favorites because "I .can continue
them after college." Vacations are
