:SON MAKES GOOD:
)ld Yearbook Prediction Comes True
By FREDDI LOEWENBERG
The teaching profession seemed
redestined for Dean Willard C.
lson of the education school.
As far back as the eighth grade,
is friends had recognized what he
as cut out to be. That year the
earbook had predicted he would
ecome a professor.
"One reason for my choosing
hat particular field," he says,
grew out of the frequent mention
f my friends that I would be good
t it. One gets satisfaction not
nly from doing things but having
our associates say you are doing
vell."
Couple this with a "general cur-
osity as to why things are as they
re and a basic interest in the
deas of people" and you have the
easons why Michigan now has 01-
on as Dean.

THE NATIVE of Annadale, Min-
tesota graduated from the Uni-
'ersity of Minnesota intending to
ecome a high school science
eacher. For a tirme he did, later
also taking over the job of prin-
Gipal.
Then came an opportunity to
go into child welfare and become
director of a psychological
clinic. The National Research
Council offered him a post-doc-
toral fellowship in biological sci-
ences, making studies in child
behavior.
In 1929, when the foundations
or the present University Educa-
ion school building were being
aid, the University invited him
here as associate professor and di-
rector of research in child devel-
Qpment. 'Except for a brief time
with the University of Chicago, he
ias remained here since then. Feb-
'uary 10 marked the completion of
wo years as Dean. He also holds

Tax Exemption'
Bill Introduced
A bill that would allow a $600
tax exemption for parents of chil-
dren over 18 years of age if the
child is a student attending school
or college has recently been intro-
duced in Congress by Democratic
representative Abraham J. Multer
from the 14th District of New.
York.
According to Multer, the House
Ways and Means Committee has
conducted hearings on the bill and
recommended the added exemp-
tion plan.
Multer, explaining the philoso-
phy of the bill, recently wrote "we
have gotten to the point in this
country where we believe that just
as a primary education is neces-
sary, and a secondary or high
school education is necessary, we
should, if possible, give every child
in this country an opportunity to
get a college education."
Student organizations through-
out the country are supporting the
plan, including the National Stu-
dent Association which has done
much publicity to direct the at-
tention of taxpayers to the fact
that expenses for college educa-
tion should be tax deductible:
Griller, Kell.
Groups Set
To-Perform
Two of England's foremost mu-
sical groups, the Griller Quartet,
and the Reginald Kell players,

The Griller Quartet, a string
ensemble, will present concerts at
8:30 p.m. tomorrow and at 2:30
p.m. Sunday in Rackham Lecture
Hall. Their selections for the first
concert include the works of
Haydn, Bloch, and Mozart: The
Sunday concert will feature selec-
tions from Bach, Mozart, Rubbra,
and Beethoven.
* * * . .
THE QUARTET, now in its 24th
year on the concert stage, has
been together longer without
changes in the group than any
other music ensemble.
Recently the group has be-
come the resident quartet of the
University of California at
Berkeley.
The Reginald Kell Players, in
their concert at 8:30 p.m. Satur-
day in Rackham Lecture Hall, will

FEATURED player in the four-

clarinetist, Reginald Kell, whose

Quintet" was last year voted "best
chamber music record of the year"
by the New York Music Critics'
Circle.
Tickets for the festival and for
the individual concerts are now
on sale at the University Musical
Society offices in Burton Tower.

A new method for high accuracy
in detecting of cancer of the uter-
us has been developed by Dr.
Gardner Riley of the Medical
School.
Dr. Riley has discovered a me-
thod for staining cells by using
silver carbonate. His method, sim-
pler than conventional methods,
makes abnormal cells easier to de-
tect.
SILVER CARBONATE, Dr. Ril-
ey explained, concentrates in the
cell's nucleui more than do the
usual stains. This makes the de-
tection of a deviation in growth
easier. Standards for detection of
cancer are based on the size and
shape of the cell's nucleui.
Cells from the vaginal fluid
specimen, which has been stain-
ed, are examined under a micro-
scope. If any abnormal cells are
seen, a sample of the suspected
tissue is obtained and sent to
the pathologist who makes an
examination and diagnosis.
It is widespread practice to take
samples of areas where cancer i

IN MOMENTS other than those

as Dean, he participates actively in
many organizations related to edu-9

organizations including the Amer-+

Dean -as President and Vice Presi-
dent. "Writing books on child de-
velopment, research articles, com-
mittees-this goes on and on,"
mused Dean Olson.
And as if to offer proof of it,
the telephone rang at that min-
ute and the Dean Olson spent sev-
eral minutes discussing "official
business."
Recalling his many years as a.
professor, Dean Olson told the
satisfaction he has gotten out of
his work. "As one goes on, he
achieves an understanding of
things," he said. "The teaching
profession offers an interesting
activity in the field- of .thought
and gives one a stimulating re-
lationship to the state and to the
country."
"The teaching profession is a
compound of a great many kinds
of opportunity," he continued. "It
involves relationships with people
who have problems to solve, who
value your help."

Citing, Ann Arbor's new park-
ing structure, new fire station and
arrangements for a sanitary land-
fill as achievements under a Re-
publican Administration during
1953, local GOP members recently
announced their platform for the
1954 campaign.
Election of city officials will
take place in April.
HEADING THE program which
Ann Arbor Republicans will sup-
port "is the local housing issue.
Members have pledged their sup-
port toward solving the problem
"in accordance with the free en-
terprise system."
Also included in the platform
for the coming year are 1) study
of the city traffic problems, 2)
strengthening the powers of the
City Planning Commission with-
in the scope of the city charter
and state laws, 3) continued ex-
pansion of the local municipal
parking system.
Civil liberties in the form of
hiring qualified personnel by the
city administration regardless of
race, color or creed was also writ-
ten into the platform.
Concerning labor, the GOP
group urges compliance with
President Eisenhower's recommen-
dations for the establishment of
Fair Employment Practice Codes
on a statewide basis.
Building of a juvenile detention
home and revision of the city
charter were also supported by
the Republicans in their recent
statement, as well as backing of
"an adequate Civilian Defense
program."

out.
