[ DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN t WITH THE largest crowds in the history of base- ball expected to pack the Polo. Grounds and Municipal Stadium for this year's World Series clashes, it is somewhat peculiar that weak links exist in our national pasttime. The major leagues just finished a moderately successful season attendance-wise with one team, the Milwaukee Braves, soaring well past the 2,- 000,000 mark. Seven others attracted better than 1,000,000 fans and only the Philadelphia Athletics and Washington Senators played before consist- ently semi-empty stadiums. However, the teams that yearly provide the tal- ent to perform in the sixteen major league ball parks just ended a disastrous six months from a financial standpoint. The minor league financial difficulties have been increasing for a few years now, as indicated by a drop from a high of 63 minor leagues in 1949 to the present less than 40. While the minor league flounder, aipother source of major league talent continues to play before half-filled pavillions and in some cases sidelines spectators. These are the college baseball teams. Many things have been blamed for the lack of attendance at minor league baseball games. It is not necessary to reiterate them here but it suffices to say that the minor league cities have apparently decided that major league baseball over radio and television is more interesting than a trip out to the local delapidated ball park. Many suggestions have been presented but no solution has been found for the problem and at- tendance continues to dwindle. However, a panacea may still be available which would not only end the use of much baseball red ink but also provide a shot in the arm for the collegiate sport. The major league teams, instead of signing their prospects to minor league contracts, could give the young men college scholarships. This would eliminate much minor league talent, prob- ably eliminating most of the clubs in classifica- tion below Class A. However, with top notch talent participating in college diamond clashes fans would take new interest and standing room crowds reminiscent of the 1920's would again be seen at the Ferry Field's of the country. Many of the college coaches (Michigan mentor Ray Fisher being a prime example) are outstand- ing and could give young players coaching equal to that found in the minors. Another obvious feature is the college education that a player would gar- ner simultaneously, giving him something to fall back on in case his professional baseball aspira- tions were not fulfilled. After the collegiate season ended in June the players could perform in the various city and indus- trial leagues that operate in the summer all over the country. These leagues could be better organ- ized putting emphasis on attracting good managers. By playing in these leagues the players could main- tain their eligibility for college ball. When they were ready or after receiving a de- gree they could move into one of the upper minor league clasifications or even major league ball. This obviously is only a bare outline of a pos- sible solution. The plan possibly possessses elements of professionalism in amateur athletics. However the elements are no more serious than those present when wealthy alumni or the school itself subsidizes a college football player. The only dif- ference is that in this case a professional organiza- tion would be helping a high school graduate get a college education. That is certainly better than having young men of college intelligence bouncing around the bush leagues for many weary years. Most never leave this category and at present most have no college degrees with which to turn to the world for new employment. -Dave Baad The Daily Official Bulletin is an official publication of the University of Michigan for which the Michigan Daily assumes no editorial responsi- bility.

Academic Notices Pre-Medical and Pre-Dental Students: Students who had their recommenda- Stions completed during therlast aca- demic year, and who will desire to have further recommendations sent this year, are to contact the Preprofessional Sec- retary in Room 1213 Angell Hall and notify her of their intentions. Addition- al copies of the recommendations can then be prepared. This will expedite matters for both the student and the office. Pre-Medical and Pre-Dental students: who expect to apply for admission to a professional school for the Fall of 1955: The University has an evaluation system which is acceptable to all American Medical and Dental schools. Both the University Medical and Den- tal schools require applicants from within the University to use this plan exclusively. Students who wish to ap- ply to other professional schools should also make use of this system. The plan was designed to reduce the burden of both students and the faculty mem- bers in requesting, and answering, per- sonal recommendations. Students may obtain a brief mimeographed explana- tion of the system in Room 1213 An- gell Hall, - and make an appointment there with the preprofessional adviser, Catalogs and material are on hand on all the approved Medical and Dental schools.

By a fine bit of political sleight-of-hand the political bosses have covered up the question of whether the coun- try has confidence in the Congress. They have done this by raising the question of whethe'r it has con- fidence in President Eisenhower. Thus in many a constituency men who have done their best to obstruct the President are asking for votes on the ground that unless they are elected the President will have been repudiated. ONE WONDERS how much the voters are affect- ed by general appeals like that of the Republicans to support Eisenhower or that of the Democrats to repudiate the Republican record. The question quite evidently does not arise at all for the large mess of citizens who vote the regular ticket on one side or the other. But it does arise in the case of the independents, those who switch between parties and hold the balance of power to decide the outcome. For them the general appeal to make the election a national referendum on the Administration is obviously not enough to enable them to cast an intelligent vote. For them there is another ques- tion which is more immediate and more concrete and perhaps more important than that of ap- proving or disapproving the Eisenhower admin Istration. It is the question of electing better or worse men to the Senate and to the House. For the good citizen trying to cast his vote effectively the question of the comparative fitness of the can- didates ought, it seems to me, to over-ride the general question of confidence in the Adminis- tration. For it Is one of the great facts of our public life that the Congress of the United States is today short of men of ability and high purpose and much too long on blatherskites. Wherever the independent voter can find a chance to elect Current Movies At Architecture Auditorium THIS 1951 science-fiction film bares a close re- semblance to some dozen other recent films about interplanetary shenanigans. However, unlike many of the others, it is a fairly decent sort of en- tertainment with even a little food for thought. If it is preposterous-well, that is to be expected; and if it occasionally becomes a little too Hollywoodian -this also is no more disturbing than usual. In a perhaps overly obvious, and apparent man- ner, the film makes a plea for world peace. Some of the scenes ridiculing man's inability to get along with his fellow creatures are excellent, even if they often take the form of an extended diatribe. The shots of Washington in panic and the trick pho- tography are brilliant bits of technical work. And what is most important, the film has a pulsating ex- citement that holds the viewer's atte1tion. The story relates how Klaatu (Michael Rennie), a visitor from an unnamed planet, makes a fy- ing-saucer landing in the heart of Washington. He looks exactly like an Earthling and speaks with a soft British accent. This personable, friend- ly chap has come to warn Earth to be good-or els! When nobody pays him any attention, Klaatu gets rather aggrevated and threatens to turn loose Gort, his pet robot, equipped with sliding panels men of brains and character, he should put that choice ahead of whether it helps or hinders one party or the other to control the machinery of the next Congress. , * , s INDEPENDENT voters who take this line would do well, I would add, to favor Republicans when- ever the personal qualifications are more or less equal. For the Republican party is desperately in need of the infusion of enlightened men to over- come the preponderance on the Senate of the old reactionaries. Enlightened Republicans in-the Sen- ate are a minority and most of the time they are fighting a defensive and protective action against their own party. The country needs two moderate parties. But as long as the Republican Old Guard have the power that they now exercise, the Repub- lican party cannot do justice to its ideas or to its promises. By this standard it was desirable to re-elect Sen. Margaret Smith in Maine, though her Dem- ocratic opponent was an enlightened and worthy man. By the same standard the balance in Ken- tucky should be in favor of Sen. John Sherman Cooper even against the beloved and venerable Veep. I would include Mr. Case of New Jersey, Sen. Saltonstall of Massachusetts and Sen. Fer- guson of Michigan in the list of Republicans who ought to be elected on the ground that they strengthen the Republican party. On the other side, I do not see how a con- scientious independent can fail to favor Sen. Douglas of Illinois against his meager opponent or Sen. Humphrey of Minnesota against his, or Sen. Anderson of New Mexico or former Sen. O'Hahoney in Wyoming. I might add that I do not see how an inde- pendent concerned with the quality of the Senate and its place in our government could wish to re- elect such obstructionists and diversionists as Sen. Mundt of South Dakota, Sen. Cordon of Oregon or Sen. Schieppel of Kansas. * * * * SINCE THE indications are so strong that the Democrats will carry the House, and it may be the Senate too, we might ask ourselves what is at stake if this should happen. When a party controls Con- gress, what power does it have that it does not have when it loses control? There are essentially two powers at stake. One is the power of the committee chairmen to deter- mine what, whether, when bills should be put to a vote. The other power is a comparatively new one, certainly in its highly developed contempor- ary form. It is the so-called power of investiga- tion, which is in fact a power not only to investi- gate but to put on trial and to punish. The'pow- er of investigation has become the great instru- ment of political warfare and bears many re- semblances to the revolutionary tribunals which appear in time of great crises. The control of these tribunals is probably-on a realistic ap- praisal-the crux of the contest for the control of Congress. These tribunals are a morbid development of our institutions, and contrary to their spirit and their genius. For the investigating power of Con- gress, as now develops, invades the functions of the Executive and of the Judicial branches of the government. But the facts are the facts, and the control of this dangerous power is at stake in the Congressional elections. The legislative power is also, of course, in some measure at stake, but not in anything like the degree that the President is permitting his speak- ers to make it appear. The record shows that the Republican control of Congress did not mean Republican support of the Eisenhower legislation. Except on the tax revision bill, where the Party lines were clearly drawn, no important legisla- tion was passed without serious Republican de- WASHINGTON - Charley Mc- not be released to private exploita- 2182.
