Campus Group To Discuss Leadership at Conference By ROSE PERLBERG David Barker is the only student in the University playing the unique dual role of studying in the law school, while vieing for a seat in England's House of Commons. Doing research work for his LLM (masters) and SJD (doctorate), Barker is one of two English law students here for a year on a Cook Fellowship. The 22 year old Englishman hails from Crowton, a small town near Liverpool, has been running on the Labor ticket for two years. "I joined the Labor party when I was 17," he recalled, "and worked for several years on elections." Chosen To Run "I was chosen to run in 1953," he continued, remarking that it was unusual for anyone under 21 to be selected. parker explained that the prime minister may call an election any- time within a five year period, which is the maximum amount of time that can elapse between elections. "It is customary for a candidate to be chosen almost right after the previous election," he added. Commenting on his campaign, the labor candidate reported that he had "been on the rounds" be- fore he left for this country. "I concentrated mainly on meeting people on their own doorsteps," he said. Much more of that is in store for him when he returns to England this summer. The next election is due in Oct., 1956, but Barker hopes it will be held next fall. Received Law Degree A graduate of the University of London, where he earned his law degree, Barker has been called to the English Bar, but has never practiced. He explained that the English school system is such that one can start studies in a profes- sion at 18 and in three years re- ceive a law degree. Six months more is required to pass an en- trance examination for the Bar. --Daily-Dick Gaskill DAVID BARKER Campus leaders will discuss problems facing them when they head groups, in iL student leader- ship conference to be held from 7:30 to 10 p.m. tomorrow in rooms 3-KLMN of the Union. In order to learn how to increase one's personal effectiveness in working with others, the confer- ence will discuss qualifications and methods involved in effectively leading a group. Among the problems to be dis- cussed are; holding a group to- gether in discussion, reaching a general agreement which has unanimous approval and control- ling dominant members of the group. Lecturer Heads Group The conference will be headed by Allen Menlo, lecturer in edu- cational psychology and research assistant in community and adult education here at the University. Run as a "workshop" where all participants learn by performing, the meeting will divide into small discussion groups. These groups I will try to analyze the various fac- tors involved in discussion. With suggestions from Menlo, they will try to discover ways to control these factors in an infor- mal manner. Campus Issues Discussed Giving students an opportunity to meet many other campus lead- ers, real campus issues will be used as a basis for discussion. Interested students may attend this all-campus event, sponsored jointly by the Union and the League. Co-chairmen of the event are Fred Williams of the Union and Mary Jo Park, League parliamen- tarian. Although this is his first visit to the United States, it is far from Barker's first contact with Ameri- cans. Aside from the multitude of American tourists in England, many are attending English Uni- versities. There were, of course, mostly Americans with him on the boat last September. "I even met people from Ann Arbor there," Barker recalled. He finds "the informality and friendliness of Americans very wel- come and quite a change from Englishmen who tend to be more shy and reserved." Traveled in States Affiliated with Phi Delta Phi, the Englishman has spent his two vacations far from campus. With two fellow country men, he trav- eled to Arizona and California during the Christmas vacation, and toured the Rockies in-between semesters. "The thing that surprised me most here," Barker remarked, "was the strict University regulations especially on the prohibition of drinking." He asserted that in England beer and a bar were part of the University itself. SANDLER OF BOSTON dresses up your favorite soft shoe silhouette with slender straps and tiny buttons.

Seniors make one alone and are joined by juniors on the other. Companies Invite Students "Pharmaceutical companies in- vite our students to tour their plants and pay fcr everything ex- cept their traveling expenses," Tom D. Rowe, dean of the College of Pharmacy, explained. He also said that once a year students visit a company in Michigan and have their choice of out-of-state com- panies for the other trip. "These trips give the student an understanding and insight into pharmaceutical manufacturing," Dean Rowe continues, "which they will find useful since they will be handling the products." He added that -a tour of such a plant was an educational experience that would benefit anyone whether or not he was a pharmacy student. Travel To New York The trip to New York was a spe- cial treat since many of the stu- dents had never been to the city before. Jim Richards, president of the senior pharmacy class stated, "It was mostly the idea of going to New York that made us accept the invitation of a company in that, area." Richards said that the group spent one full day 4ightseeing. The other two days were spent touring the plant. "Although most of the plants are similar in their makeup," Richards remarked, "a new one is always interesting because each has its own specialty." By JANE FOWLER "I just can't believe it! !" This is how Christa Eckhard, president of the coming Alpha Mu chapter of Sigma Kappa, expresses the feelings of the 40 coeds who will become pledges of the nation- al sorority at 4 p.m. Sunday in the Vandenburg Room of the League. "All I can say is 'Thank you!' to everyone; to Panhellenic Associa- tion, to Dean of Women Deborah Bacon, to Miss Ethel McCormick and especially to our 'guardian an- gel', advisor and inspiration, Debby Townsend," exclaimed Miss Eck- hard. The reality will come into being in Sunday's ceremony when the original 24 members and the 16 new pledges of Eskasia begin their pledgeship to Sigma Kappa. To Lead Group New Sigma Kappa officers will include Miss Eckhard; Barbara Busch, vice - president; Pauline Baumler, secretary; Ruth Heald, treasurer and Carole Iackett, Pan- hel delegate. Instigator of the plan to bring a new sorority to campus, it was Miss Hackett who took her ideas to Dean Bacon. Affiliation with the national group was possible in a short time because Sigma Kappa had been on campus previously and needed only to be reactivated. Membership in Alpha Mu chap- ter will include Sandra Byers, Ju- dith Colwell, Margaret Edwards, Helen Eisner, Helen Erickson and Lynette Ferrell. Members Listed Also in the ranks of Sigma Kap- pa will be Judith Guest, Barbara Hahn, Jean Irwin, Caroline Kina- schuk, Mary Ann Kinaschuk and Shannon King. Jackie Langmaid, Jo Matych, Judith Mills, Lou Ann Moxley, Helena Plummer, Carol Schooff and Gloria Tennant com- plete the active members of Es- kasia who will join the sorority. Pledges of the local group to be- come Sigma Kappa's are Barbara Burton, Margaret Decker, Mary Ellen DeLalla, Margaret Durant, Marilyn Eliason and Terry Jelac- sity. Jane Kasten, Carole Magee, Car- ol Palmer, Charlene Pohr, Virginia Rende and Anne Robinson will also pledge. Completing the list of 11 juniors, 14 sophomores and 15 freshmen coeds are Marilyn Stew- art, Judith Tatham, Janet Tour- tellot and Carol Wheeler. The women will be activated into the Sigma Kappa national in House Found At that time they will move to the Sigma Kappa house which will be located at 1601 Cambridge. At Sunday's white-formal initi- ation, the women will become pledges to one of the five oldest sororities, founded in 1874 at Col- by College, Waterville, Maine. Mrs. Hilmer. Gillein of Detroit, province president of the national sorority, has named Mrs. Robert B. Glenn, past president of the Ann Arbor alumnae chapter, as pledge trainer. "With a long, full national his- tory, Alpha Mu chapter of Sigma Kappa will strive to build a suc- cessful future for its members and the University in general," Miss Eckhard promised.
