TUESDAY, MAY 1$, 1954 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE FIVE 1' TUESDAY, MAY 18, 1954 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Pa (W W1V1 a :+ I League Room To Undergo Remodeling University Ballroom To Feature Spotlights, New Portable Stage Under the auspices of the League Board of Governors, the much- used League Ballroom will be re- modeled, starting June 28, at the approximate cost of $15,000. The ballroom, which has been the scene of numerous campus dances for many years, will un- dergo a "face-lifting" during the summer. It is hoped that construc- tion will be completed by the opening of school in the fall. New features in the ballroom will include a "flush lighting" system with built-in spotlights for special occasions, new drap- eries, a modern paint job, wall paneling, new furniture and a portable stage. The movable stage, an added feature in many modern ballrooms and theaters, will give the room more versatility, with an eye to dances, dinners and conferences. Mrs. Herbert F. Taggart, head of the League Board of Governors, will be in charge of the project, assisted by Mrs. Edith M. Wheeler, business manager of the League and the rest of the committee. Other recent re-modeling in the League includes the Bar- bara Little Listening Rooms, on the third floor across from the League Library; the Rumpus Room in the basement; cafeteria and the Undergraduate Offices on the first floor. The re-modeling of the ballroom will be followed in future arti- cles in The Daily. "The rejuve- nated ballroom should be a great asset to the League and its varied activities," according to the com- mittee.

GOLDMAN organized the now famous Goldman band in 1912 with the idea that a band could play as artistically as a symphony orchestra. Entering their 37th season the Goldman Band's concerts on the Mall in Central Park, New York, were begun in 1918. The con- certs, which are given six nights a week, are held in Prospect Park in Brooklyn one night out of each week. Included in the collection which Goldman is giving to the Univer- Caps and gowns of the academ- ic world may be cast aside upon graduation, but the ideals they symbolize can continue throughout life. One organization devoted to the continuance of such academic ideals is the American Association of University Women, composed of women college graduates interest- ed in practical educational work. BEGINNING today six repre- sentatives of the Recent Graduate Study Groups will visit league houses, dormitories and sororities to acquaint graduating senior women with AAUW. A five minute talk will be given at each residence and as many of them will be visited as time permits. Founded in 1882, AAUW devotes its efforts to education, wider op- portunities for women, interna- tional understanding and cooper- ation, and application of the train- ing and abilities of college women to the complex problems of modern life. * * * ORIGINALLY composed of 17 women, representing eight col- leges, AAUW now numbers over 122,000 members in its 1,221 local branches. These branches are di- vided among 48 states, Hawaii and Musical Honors Sigma Alpha Iota, musical honorary, held its annual sen- ior farewell service and musi- cale Sunday at the home of Mrs. J. J.

Membership in AAUW is open to any woman holding an ap- proved degree from an institu- tion included on the AAUW list. Such an institution, to be ap- proved, must meet such regula- tions as good academic stand- ards, adequate provision for women students, recognition of women on the faculty and in administration and a good foun- dation for general education. The approved degrees must in- sure the graduate of a broad edu- eational background encompassing topics in general areas as well as specialized fields. * * * NATIONAL AAUW is affiliated with 32 other national organiza- tions of university women in the International Federation of Uni- versity Women, devoted to inter- national understanding and peace.

(PAID POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT) OPEN LETTER TO THE CAMPUS N MY FLASHY FRESHMAN YEAR, I wrote "racial discrimination is but a weak structure that was feared mainly because of its influence in the past and once the youth of the different races met and under- stood each other it was doomed to fall." As a sophisticated sophomore I wrote "to the youth the race problem is more complex than difficult." The way the campus has reacted to the N.A.A.C.P., the support we have re- ceived from S.L. and The Daily, and the way the campus has reacted to the league house discrimination, has justified my faith in the youth. It is evident to me that the younger generation does not want racial dis- crimination. I think we are capable and are ready to accept each person as an individual and to judge them not by the color of their skin or the slant of their eyes but by their own individual merit. To further this atti- tude I believe is the main purpose of the N.A.A.C.P. The local chapter has tried to aid this cause on both the national and local level. On the national level we have con- tributed more than $100 to the national treasury. On the local level we have taken significant steps toward solving several prob- lems. In an effort to eliminate discrimina- tion among businessmen in Ann Arbor we have started a sticker campaign. The majority of the businessmen are cooperating with us. Next semester we hope to set up an employ- ment committee which will periodically visit those businessmen who still discriminate and try to persuade them to cooperate with us. We have sponsored a lecture series. From the series we have learned the best way to eliminate discrimination and predujice is to integrate the races. We have recommended that the administration abolish the photo requirement from the room application form members of different races can and have lived and worked together in harmony and should not be separated. On our side we have science. On their side they have the power to make the decision. Prof. Dawson told us that the personnel of the administration is honest. If this is so they are opposed to us only be- cause they hold an erroneous opinion. Then I think we are obligated to educate our eld- ers. We can send committees to talk to them. We can do more. By giving inter-racial func- tions, e.g. mixers and panel discussions, and by operating an effective inter-racial N.A.A.C.P., we can give them a living dem- onstration of inter-racial cooperation. This might make them more inclined to change their housing policy. We have objected to the float, Uncle Tom's Cabin, as an excavation of a stereotype. We have succeeded in making it plain that we didn't like this type of float. In this area we can take more positive steps. We can make it unlikely that we will have to object to the stereotype by presenting as many phases of Negro life before the public as possible. We can investigate the possibilities of getting a Negro History course on the cur- riculum. We plan to present several national- ly-known Negro leaders, e.g., Walter White, Thurgood Marshall and Dr. Ralph Bunche; we can try to persuade the Cinema Guild to get movies like "Home of Brave," "Lost Bountaries" and "Lydia Bailey." When I think of the handful of people we started with and of our present 53 members, I am inclined to say we have taken "A Giant Step." If, when we return next fall, we work diligently and make this an effec- tive organization, then we will give the ad- 11
