Campus Political
Party Organized
First 'U' Student Party, 'Common
Sense,' Group Lists Program Aims
By DOROTHY MYERS
Daily City Editor
For the first time in University history, a student political party.
is working on campus.
Called "The Common Sense Party," the budding organization plans
to run qualified students who accept programs embodied in its plat-
form and to develop a more active and meaningful student govern-
ment.-
To date, CSP has no officers or official membership. It was form-
ed by 30 students, active in campus affairs and concerned over the
future of both SL and the proposed Student Government Council.
Meeting Scheduled
An organizational meeting chaired by last year's SL president,
Bob Neary, Grad. and scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Thursday, will mark
CSP's first attempt to gain campus-wide membership. Tentative ad-
ministrative approval for the meeting has already been granted.
"Common Sensers" indicated they would attempt to secure ap-
proval of CSP at Tuesday's meeting of the Student Affairs Committee.
Platform Drafted
Meanwhile members are working on a final draft of CSP's platform

President of the University
Detroit, The Very Reverend Ce
tin J. Steiner, holds that the
recourse for this financing sh
be to government.
Individual Responsibility
Mr. Steiner says that it is u
the individual to finance his

"It is another to hold that e
qualified person, even though

ernment."
State Plans
The State of Michigan has p
for a network of community
leges to be financed by both

a long step in the direction
socialism.
Recent statistics show that
per cent of Michigan's college
dents are in government-suppo
institutions. If the community
lege plan is carried out, then,
Steiner said, the disproportion
tween public and private colle
will be even more marked tha
is at present."
He noted, though, that gove
ment-financed education is ess
tial to our American democrac:
it exists today-there will alv
be some who "will not be able
provide for themselves as far
education is concerned."
In advancing the notion of s
dent self-help, the University
Detroit head called for the fori
tion of an "impartial, objeci
committee -representative of

Three Given
Nobel Prize
In Medicine
Polio Research
Led to Salk Test
Three American scientists were
awarded the 1954 Nobel Prize in
medicine and physiology last
night and became the first to re-
ceive the coveted prize for polio
research.
John F. Enders of the Harvard
Medical School, Thomas H. Wel-
ler of the Harvard School of Pub-
lic Health and Frederick C. Rob-
bins, now at Western Reserve
Medical School received the prize
for discovering new weapons in
the fight against Polio.
Weller is the son of Carl V. Wel-
Ier, chairman of the department
of pathology of the University's
medical school.
Knew of Nomination
Contacted last night, Weller's
father commented, "Of course, we
were very pleased to have him get
it. We knew he had been nominat-
ed but the final word didn't come
through until this afternoon."
Prof. Thomas Francis of the
medical school, who is now tabu-
lating results of the Salk vaccine
tests, said, "I think it's wonder-
ful.
"Enders. Weller and Robbins
were able to establish poliomyeli-
tis virus in cultures of tissue. This
means that instead of having to
use monkeys and apes in experi-
ments, much of the work can bet
done in a test tube," explained
Prof. Francis.
Rapid Advance Possible
"This made possible a rapid ad-
vance in diagnosis and the devel-
opment of preventive measures.
The Salk vaccine is an outgrowth
of their original work," said Prof.
Francis.
They will share $35,056 in
prize money to be awarded by
Swedish king Gustav Adolf at a
traditional ceremony in Stock-
holm Dec. 10. Awards for litera-
ture, physics and chemistry, not
yet announced, will be handed
out at the same time.
No Peace Prize
Announcement has already been
made .that no Nobel Peace prize
will be awarded this year.#
The three scientists carried on
their work in the Research Divi-
sion of Infectious Diseases of the
Children's Medical Center, in Bos-
ton, Mass. Enders is director of
the division and Weller is assist-
ant director.

West Germany Slated for NATO
Admittance, Tight Arms Control
PARIS (M-Nine anti-Communist allies of the Western world reach-
ed a historic agreement late yesterday on formation of the Western
European Union.
It will include the arms and men of an all but fully sovereign West
Germany.
Foreign ministers of the nine nations virtually completed the agree-
ments here yesterday, including the forging of tight controls over
Germany's military potential for the rest of this century.
Details were being hammered out so that each government may
soon ask for ratification by their parliaments of treaties that will link
West Germany to NATO.
Agreement to bring the Bonn republic into the proposed seven-
nation Western European Union-adding West Germany and Italy 'to
the already organized Benelux organization-followed quickly after
the American, British, French and West German ministers agreed
on terms to end the nearly 10-year occupation of Germany and restore,
with a few exceptions, complete sovereignty to that part of the
divided nation.

CSP Method
Following its motto, "planning
before doing" CSP's draft platform
includes means which "Common
Sensers" will use to attain the
outlined objectives.
No slate of candidates has yet
been endorsed by CSP, but party
members are presently seeking
Fcandidates they consider qualified
for SL. Any student interested in
running on CSP's ticket may con-
tact Leah Marks, 55L., at NO. 3-

Applications for CSP endorse-
ment will also be accepted at the
p a r t y' s general organizational
meeting Thursday. Location of the
meeting has not yet been decided.
UAW Attempts
Better Wage
Plan Program
The proposed United Auto
Workers-sponsored annual wage
plan "does not guarantee an an-
nual salary, but a guaranteed sal-
ary during lay-off," said Ralph
Showalter, assistant to Walter
Reuther in the Educational De-
partment of the UAW-CIO, here
last night.
Addressing a Sigma Rho Tau
smoker, Showalter explained that
the plan will guarantee a full
work week. He pointed out that
similar plans in the packing and
sugar industries provide for a
specific amount of money to be re-
ceived annually.

Cousins called for an end to the

Cousins asserted that India and
America are drifting apart, blam-
ing the separation on a series of
tragic misunderstandings rather
than Communist propaganda. "In-
dia misinterprets our efforts to
stop Soviet imperialism and thinks
we are bent on a military show-

dia's foreign policy as knuckling

force."
New Point Four Suggested
TONIGHT AT HILL: Takes Local
.'Caine Mutiny' Role Source of Pride for Paul Douglas Philanthropist
"If it had taken fifty years to get the role of Captain Queeg
in the 'Caine Mutiny Court-Martial,' I'd consider the time well
spent," commented Actor Paul Douglas in an exclusive letter to
the Michigan Daily.
Douglas, who is appearing in the theatrical adaptation of the
Pulitzer Prize winning novel scheduled at 8:30 p.m. today and to-
morrow in Hill Auditorium, iade his screen debut six years ago in
"A Letter to Three Wives." Since that time he has become one of
the most popular and well-known actors in the motion picture in-
dustry.
Termed "Golden Boy"
"According to the reports," Douglas stated, "I had zoomed to
fame in a matter of hours, I was a genius and a golden boy, a bril-
liant newcomer who would go far. Actually," he continued, "it had
taken me something like 25 years to become an actor."
In spite of the variety of jobs he has held, Douglas admitted,
"I always wanted to be on the stage and never made any bones
about it. I told everyone, all my friends and even a few enemies."
Harry Boyd Earhart, 83, indus-
trialist and philanthropist, died fol-
lowing a heart attack yesterday
morning at his Geddes Rd. home.
At 17 Earhart began a business
career with a shipping company
which eventually led him to found
the White Star Refining Co., which
he was with until he retired in
1932.
Two philanthropic foundations
were established by Earhart. The
Earhart Foundation to further edu-
cation and religion was established
in 1929, followed in 1951 by the
Reim Foundation.
The two foundations were re-
sponsible for many projects, in-
cluding grants to industrial educa-
tion departments at the California
Institute of Technology, Queens
