FOUR T19E MICB Ii GAN DAILY FO~ THE MICIUGAN DAILY I SOLUTIONS SCARCE: 'U' Classroom Shortage May Affect Class Hours By ARLIS GARON Shortage of classroom space may force literary college students to select classes at less popular hours, according to Prof. Paul S. Dywer of the mathematics depart~- ment, Chairman of the Commit- tee on Class Study and Room As- signment.. He indicated in making room -ssignments, departments are be- ing limited in the number of rooms they can use at the most request- ed hours of 9, 10, 11, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Many de- partments have been required to make changes in their schedules, arranging more 8 a.m., afternoon, and Tuesday, Thursday classes. Small Departments Affected Unpopular hours affect the smaller departments by creating difficulty in getting students to take courses scheduled at these times, Prof. Dwyer explained. More required courses during un- popular hours in larger depart- ments ease the situation. Prof. Dywer says "Students Tmust realize the situation.. As the en- rollment) continues to increase with the amount of facilities fix- ed, we have to learn to make great- er use of those available. If stu- dents will cooperate by taking more 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. classes, the situation would be greatly re- lieved,and the possibility of com- pulsory Saturday classes lessen- ed." No Immediate Prospects According -to Prof. Dwyer, there are no immediate prospects in the next few years fdr more space. The Administration has request- ed more building funds from -the State Legislature; however, the literary college having recently ac- quired new buildings can't expect additional ones. If the University takes over the old Ann Arbor high school, the situation will be helped some, ac- cording to Dean Burton D. Thuma, assistant dean of the literary col- lege. However, it would be two years befo'e it can be put into use. The committee has also been studying the size of classrooms in relation to the number of students in them. Some large, classrooms may be divided into two, allowing more rooms. This has been done to Rm. 25 Angell Hall and Rm. 1402 Mason Hall. No More Cut Rooms However, Josephine K. Hoff- man, Supervisor of Office Service and Room Scheduling, says she doubts any more rooms can be cut if lectures .stay as large. Large classrooms are also needed during exams. Other proposals have been sub- mitted to the committee SL Books Student Legislature's Inter- national Exchange Committee recently received four books, "European Achievement in the Homelands of the German Ex- pelles," "Germany Reports," The Tragedy of Silesia," and "Nothing for Fears," from the Free University of Berlin. In return for the books, which will be put into cirucla- tion in the main library, SL is sending the Free University a book dealing with the Uni- versity Research Post Open in Brazil A fellowship for graduate study and research in Brazil during the 1955 academic year is available to an American student,. according to the Institute of International Education.

Daiches To Speak On Shakespeare David Daiches, co-editor of "Poems in English, 1930-1940," used by English 31 classes, will speak on "Guilt and Justice in Shakespeare" at 4:10 p.m. today' in Auditorium A Angell Hall. Law Course Inadequate In English Lawyers and law students have trouble expressing themselves well in writing, according to Carl V. Weygandt, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Ohio. In his article, "English, More English," in the Journal of the American Judicature Society, Chief Justice Weygant quoted instances which indicated that the main complaint against Law School ed- ucation is that not enough em- phasis is placed on knowledge of English and grammar. . Admitting that the problem is shared by practicing attorneys as well, he quoted several examples which illustrated the lack of gram- matical knowledge among barris- ters and even judges. Several of the faculty at the University Law School were of the opinion that, while no special law- English courses are taught here, the problem is not so prevalent as at the Ohio schools which Chief Justice Weygandt used for refer- ence. The minimum 2.5 average from an accredited college, as a require- ment for entrance to the Univers- ity Law School should provide suf- ficient training in English, they thought. By DICK SNYDER "Congressional investigations have become the tool of clever pol- iticians capitalizing on hysteria," G. Bromley Oxnam, Bishop of the Washington Area of the Methodist Chrurch, said in a speech given in Ann Arbor Sunday night. The bishop continually hit at the "gross incompetency and irrespon- sibility" of the House Un-Ameri- can Activities Committee. Bishop Oxnam drew consider- ably on his experiences with the Committee to illustrate his words. In July 1953, he voluntarily went before the group to deny charges against him contained in files of the Committee. During six hours of testimony, the Bishop said the Committee carried on "a new kind of Ku Kluxism. Produced Threat In his speech, given at the First Methodist Church as part of the Henry Martin Loud lecture series, the bishop said that the files of investigating committees "instead of contributing to security have produced a very real threat to free- dom." He referred to the files as "government by dlossier."1 "To illustrate," Bishop Oxnam said, "take the recent Ladejinsky case. How can one uphold a system which accuses a man of subversive tendencies and with the same in- formation clears him moments la- ter? The bishop stated that the House Un - American Activities Committee now has the names of some million, Americans in its files. Bishop Oxnam also attacked in- vestigations of the teaching pro- fession. "Why should this one group be singled out for investi- gation? ... why not doctors and bankers as well?" McCarthy-wasm" At one point in his speech, Bish- op Oxnam drew laughter when he said "many people are hailing the arrival of McCarthy-wasm." He then soberly reminded the audi- ence that there was a still exist- ent threat to individual freedom in this country. In 1953, Bishop Oxnam told the audience, it was not until he warn- ed the Committee that he would' 'TOOL OF POLITICIANS': Oxnam Calls Probes 'Irresponsible' use influential power that he gained a hearing. The Committee chairman told the bishop that the Committee did not vouch for the accuracy of its files and would not stand back of them. If the committee would not sup- port this "unverified and unevalu- ated" material, the bishop ques- tioned, "how can: they stamp on it the official seal of the United States Government and then pro- ceed to pass it out to such organi- zations as the American Legion?" Definition of Communism - In his speech, Bishop Oxnarn ridiculed the committee's defini- tion of Communism as "intellec- tually stimulating." After giving his own brief description of the political, economic and social fac- tor of Communism, the bishop posed the question, "Wouldn't you think that if this great body knew anything at all, it would know what Communism is? Here," he continued, "is their enlightening definition of it: 'a system by which one small group seeks to rule the world.'" 0 * Clean o New o Modern Playbill To Offer Student works I E 0 ! 8170 Jackson Rd.
