Bonisteel, Niehuss, Describe Far East Trip
By JIM DYGERT .
Complete resurrection of Rizal d :x.. ...,....., ....
Hall has been but one indication of ... .. .. . .{ ,..,:..:: ::.::.:.
the enthusiasm and interest of
Philippines in the University's In-
stitute of Public Administration at
the University of the Philippines.
Still a war-torn pile of: wreckage
when the University took it over
in 1952 to house the Institute, Rizal
Hall has been transformed into a
modern structure serving students
throughout the Far East.
Far Eastern Visit
Regent Roscoe O. Bonisteel and
University Vice-President Marvin
L. Niehuss, on a trip to the Far
East last spring, found the same
spirit in all the countries they
toured. The Philippines, Hong
Kong, Formosa, Okinawa, Japan,
and Korea were visited, some for
the first time by University rep-
resentatives.
"What surprised me most was
the spirit and vitality of these peo-
ple," Niehuss said, referring to
the dark pictures of apathy and de-
cay often painted by writings about
the Far East.
"We were really impressed by
the eagerness of the Philippinos to
get the job done, to establish a
good and honest government, and
to learn," Niehuss went on to say.
Institute Inspection
Main purpose of the trip was to
inspect the Institute and learn of
the attitudes toward it. "We found
nothing but admiration and enthu-
siasm for the Institute everywhere
we wenjt," Niehuss reflected. Many
of the countries asked him if the
University could initiate a similar
project with them.
A four-way contract among the
University, the Foreign Operations
Administration, Bhil CUSA (the
Philippine counterpart to FOA),
and the University of the Philip-
pines provides for the University
to operate the Institute in order
to help the Philippines ' improve
their government by training men
and women for administrative po-
sitions.
The Institute is equipped with
classrooms, a library, and a re-
search division. The long-range ob-
Jective is for the Philippine gov-
ernment to take over its support
and operation.
Japanese Studies Center .
A secondary purpose of the sev-
en-week trip was to visit the field
station of the University's Center
for Japanese Studies in Okayama,
Japan. We were very impressed
with the work done there and the
interest of the Japanese people
in the Center," Niehuss said while
talking about the seven-year-old
project supported by Carnegie
Foundation funds,
Niehuss reported that the Center

outstanding achievementwere pre-
sented by the National Rehabilita-
tion Association yesterday to Sen.
Charles E. Potter and Dr. Donald
A. Covalt of New York.
Sen. Potter received the Presi-
dent's award for general achieve-
mentbased on his long service in
behalf of the handicapped. Dr.
Covalt, widely known expert in
physical medicine, received the
W. L. Faulkes Award for techni-
cal achievement, named for the
founder of the Association.
The annual awards were pre-
sented at the conference banquet
of the Association, which' is a pro-
fessional organization of 16,000
workers for the welfare of dis-
abled people.
Sen. Potter was cited for his
work both before and after World
War II, in which he lost both legs.
Before the war, as a county wel-
fare administrator in Michigan, he
worked actively toward rehabilita-
tion of welfare cases.
After the war he became co-
ordinator of rehabilitation activi-
ties in the Federal Retraining and
Reemployment Administration,
and since 1949, as a member of
both the House and Senate, has
continued his interest in rehabili-
tation.
Protest against recent actions of
the Detroit Board of Education has
resulted in the formation of The
Committee For Educational Free-
dom.
Formed in the interest of aca-
demic freedom by a group of De-
troit school teachers, the commit-
tee has issued an appeal for funds
titled "Educational Freedom or
Regimentation, A Report on the
Curtailment of Academic Freedom
in Detroit Schools."
Protect Academic Freedom
The Committee has been formed,
according to their pamphlet, to
defend teachers "against dismissal
in violation of the principles of
teacher tenure, and to promote an
educational campaign against lo-
cal attacks on academic freedom."
Six points are embodied in the
Committee's creed:
1) The only proper grounds for
dismissal of a teacher . . . are in-
competence, moral turpitude, or
convictions of crime.
2) Use of the classroom situa-
tion, or any other relation which a
teacher may establish with his
students, for purposes of indoctri-
nation or the presentation of bi-
ased propaganda constitutes in-
competence.
Trial Safeguards
3) Persons who are accused of
such crimes . .. against the state
should be tried in a court of law
with the safeguards of due process.
4) Teachers are entitled to the
rights of full citizenship, including
protections which the Constitution
affords to all.
5) In any hearing on dismissal of
a teacher, academic due process
should be followed: agreement in
advance on procedure, specific
statement of charges, right to coun-
sel.
6) Substitution of extra-legal
methods of trial and punishment,
seriously weakens, the system of
law and order.
Action Cited
Asserting that the right of free
inquiry and intellectual dissent are
"defining elements of the demo-
cratic way of life," the Committee
claims, "Detroit school adminis-
tration is no exception to the cur-
rent pattern of repression. Recent
actions of the Superintendent and
the Board of Education have
aroused many troubled citizens to
the urgent need for action."
The Committee cites the cases of
Gerald Harrison and Irving Stein,
former Wayne University profes-
sors, and Sydney Graber and Har-
old Rosen, elementary school
teachers, who were dismissed on
May 5 for their refusal to testify
before the Clardy -Committee, as
evidence of the Board's guilt.

'GOOD OLD DAYS':
Former .Daily Editor Lonie
.Describes Past Publications
By WALLY EBERHARD
Things at The Daily aren't quite
what they used to be in the days
when Jacob L. Lorie, '96L, was
managing editor.
For instance, there aren't too
many irate football players storm-
ing the Student Publications Build-
ing. No crowds wait tensely out-
side the office for football scores
to be announced out the window.
And the business manager isn't
the only one who gets a few bucks
for working on The Daily.
Lorie, visiting Ann Arbor for the
second time since he left in 1896, is
now in semi-retirement from a suc-
cessful law career in Kansas City,
Mo.
Roommate Shapes Career
The 82-year-old barrister says he
"only spends about four or five
hours" a day at the office now. If
it hadn't been for the urgings of a
roommate, Lorie says he probably
would have gone into some form
of journalism.
The roommate, Leo Butzel, '96L,
of Detroit, talked him into going
into the "law department" as it
the trio left without causing any
bloodshed.
It was during Lorie's reign as
managing editor that The Daily
first sent sportswriters to cover
major away games. "We'd get the
account of thegame over the wire,
and shout it out of our second story
office window to the students gath-
ered below," he said.
The Daily editorial offices at
that time were condensed in one

taining a picture of the Michigan
Union.
"But this is the first time in the
20 years of our organization that
we have been visited by an offi-
cial representative of the Univer-
sity of Michigan," Niehuss was
told.
In discussing Formosa, Niehuss
expressed a surprise, too, at the
spirit there. "My impressions were

cost level down three-tenths of 1
per cent in September, the lowest'
since last April.
The Labor Department's Bureau,
of Labor Statistics put out the
new figures this week showing
consumer costs averaging 114.7 per
cent of the 1947-49 average. The
figure was slightly higher than the
year's low of 114.6 per cent last
April, but was below August's 115
per cent.
A substantial drop in food costs,
partly seasonal, was mainly re-
sponsible for the September de-

coffee, and eggs were down. Milk,
Prof. Burton L. Baker and Prof.
Gerald D. Abrams of the medical
school have done research dem-
onstrating the significance of hor-
mones in the growth of the or-
ganism.
Reporting to the International
Symposium on Growth Hormones
at the Henry Ford Hospital in
Detroit today, the professors will
discuss observations of animals
from whom the pituitary gland
had been removed. .
The scientists have discovered
that by removing the pituitary
glandtfrom an experimental ani-
mal, the size of stomach glands
was reduced and secretions vital
to digestion were diminished.
An operation of this type also
decreases the size of the salivary
glands which are additional con-
tributors to the digestive process.
However, it has been observed
that when the animals are given
injections of growth hormones1
they resume their ability to grow,I
even if the pituitary gland is re-
moved.I
The scientists have found that3

Vital Importance of Hormones

the key to the complicated gland-
ular process is in the growth power
of hormones which are so potent
that, if given in unrestricted doses,
they can produce stomach ulcers.
Hormones are so essential to the
digestive process that without
them food would not be digested
and distributed throughout the
body.
Spanish-English
Talks Scheduled
Prof. Juan Corominas of the
University of Chicago Spanish de-
partment will deliver two lectures
today under the auspices of the
Romance Language department.
"Semantica reveladora: el voc-
abulario hispano-americano y el

Corominas' topic. The lecture will
be given at 4 p.m. in Auditorium
C, Angell Hall in Spanish.
The lecture will be repeated in
English at 7 p.m. in the East Con-
Terence Room, Rackham Bldg.
