Board Fights
Prejudices
Educational Pressure
Applied to Problems
By BOB JONES
Prevention of racial and reli-
gious discrimination in the busi-
ness and social activities of Uni-
versity students is the aim of the
Anti-Discrimination Board.
Diana Hewitt, '55, a member of
the board, explained its purpose
and procedures.
Authorized by Student Legisla-
ture last Spring, the board uses
"educational persuasion" as a le-
ver, Miss Hewitt said. Action is
taken when complaints concerning
discrimination in the Ann Arbor
area are received from students.
Nine-Membcr Board
At present, the board is com-
posed of nine persons interested
in the discrimination problem. The
four community representatives
are Vice President of the Univer-
sity James A. Lewis; Bob Marshall
and Robert Maten, Ann Arbor
businessmen; and Thomas Harri-
son, a member of the Ann Arbor
Civic Forum. The other five mem-
bers are SL appointed students.
When a complaint of discrimi-
nation is received from a student,
the board goes into action, Miss
Hewitt explained.
Reliable Witnesses
The situation which caused the
complaint is set up again in the
establishment where it happened.
The board makes sure reliable wit-
nesses are at hand. This assures
both parties of fair play.
If the complained actionre-
curs, the members of the board
question the person involved. They
ask him why he has the discrim-
ination policy. Reasons given vary
greatly.
Talk "Out"
Board members try to talk him
out of continuing the policy. Other
Ann Arbor businessmen and stu-
dents are asked to talk to him as
well. A steady educational pres-
sure is applied.
Since November of 1954, the
board has handled six or seven
complaints, Miss Hewitt said. ,
The board is under no auspices1
since the demise of SL, but hopes
to be incorporated into SGC. It
was given a go-ahead from the
SGC Steering Committee.

WEEKEND JAUNT:

Aeronautical Engineers
Tour Connecticut Factory

A;
s

By GAIL GOLDSTEIN
Students in the aeronautical
engineering department did their
homework in an unusual way last
weekend.
Thirty-five students and faculty
members were guests of Pratt and
Whitney Aircraft, a division of the
United Aircraft Corporation in
East Hartford, Conn.
On a trip entirely free of charge,
participants were picked up at 6
p.m. Sunday at Willow Run by a
twin engine plane and arrived by
8:10 p.m. at Rentschler Field, a
United Aircraft's airport.
Main Plant
From there the students went
to the Statler Hotel. Monday
morning the students and faculty
members went to the main plant
of Pratt and Whitney where a
meeting was held describing the
functions, problems, and facilities
of the plant.
Frank Powers of the plant's en-
gineering department was host to
the guests and Frank Sprogell,
'39E, spoke to them on the plant's
functions.
From there the students went on
a tour of the production, assembly,
experimental testing areas of the
plant. Three groups were set up,
according to interest, in aerody-
namics, combustion, and propul-
sion.
Test department engineers dis-
cussed the area with the students
relating the plant's problems to
their interests.
Testing Plant
After lunch the guests went to
Willgoos Turbine Laboratory, a
twenty million dollar Pratt and
Whitney investment. Here all the
tests necessary to get an engine
into production are carried out.
Engines such as turbo jets, ram
jets, and turbo prop are tested.
"We were able to see exactly
how and where each part of an
engine fits," Richard Phillips, '56E,
said. "We also were able to freely
question the guide about any point
that we didn't understand or want-
ed to know more about."
Four Phases

nautical engineering take up four

phases including propulsion, aero-
dynamics, structures and the me-
chanics of flight.
Phillips pointed out that dur-
ing the trip it was possible to gain
much information that would be
helpful in classroom study.
Accompanying the students were
Prof. Wilbur C. Nelson, chairman
of the aeronautical engineering de-
partment, Prof. James E. Broad-
well, Prof. John R. Sellars, and
Prof. David J. Perry of the aero-
nautical engineering department
as well as Prof. Frank L. Schwartz
and Prof. Herbert H. Alvord of
the mechanical engineering de-
partment.
