Union To Be Led
By
ByLeif, Blossey
The Michigan Union will enter its second half century under
the leadership of Todd Leif '56 and Bob Biossey, 56BAd, it was
announced last night.
Leif will take over from retiring Union president, Tom Leopold,
55, and Blossey replaces Dick Pinkerton, 55, as executive secretary.
Appointment of Leif as the organization's 51st president cli-
maxes a period of three years of work on the student staff for the

Adlai Raps
Ike's Policy
On Quemoy
Force Censure
In Straits Asked
CHICAGO ()-Adlai Stevenson
said last night the Eisenhower ad-
ministration's Far Eastern policy
has gotten the United States into
a position where it faces "either
another damaging and humiliat-
ing retreat, or else the hazard of
war."
He said he has "the greatest mis-
givings about risking a third world
war in defense of" Quemoy and the
Matsu Islands, Chiang Kaishek's
Nationalist outposts off the Red
China coast.
'Dead-End Policy
Stevenson said in a broadcast
on two nationwide radio networks
that the Eisenhower administra-
tion is "pursuing a dead-end pol-
icy in Asia," which he said 'was
dictated by political expedience at
home.
The 1952 Democratic presiden-
tial candidate said dissension with
America's allies over our policy
in regard to the two islands-"the
weakening of the grand alliance of
free nations pledged to stand to-
gether to defend themselves, is in
my judgement a greater peril to
enduring peace than the islands
themselves."
He said the United States should
enlist other nations in "an open
declaration condemning the use of
force in Formosa Strait.'
Ask USSR
He said Soviet Russia should be
invited "to declare its position," to
indicate whether it prefers the
possibility of ultimate settlement
by agreement to an unpredictable,
perhaps limitless conflict."
He said the United Nations Gen-
eral Assembly also should seek a
solution to the Formosa conflict.
Speaking in response to what he
said were requests for his views on
the Administration's Far East pol-
icy, Stevenson said he believes it
is "based more on political diffi-
culties here at home than the re-
alities of our situation in Asia."

Aid to Asia
WASHINGTON (R) - Presi-
dent Dwight D. Eisenhower an-
nounced yesterday he will sub-
mit to Congress next week a

LEGAL QUESTION:
Committee To Consider
MSC Name Change Bill1
Another round in the Michigan State name change battle will be
fought in the state legislature today.
Delayed since last Wednesday when the University introduced a 26

within the Senate's Judiciary Committee.
There were two developments in----

'u' Alumnus
Named Head
Of Tribune
Chesser Campbell, '21, a for-
mer Daily editor, has been named
to head the vast empire of the
Chicago Tribune, succeeding the
late Col. Robert R. McCormick.
A Tribune employee for 34
years, Campbell served as both
news and city editor on The Daily.
Last week he was elected presi-
dent of the Tribune Company,
which controls both the Chicago
newspaper and the New York Dai-
ly News, as well as lumber and pa-
per interests in Canada.
Recalls Daily Experiene
Campbell rose in the Tribune's
advertising department, though
his experience at The Daily was
on the editorial staff. Contacted in
Chicago, he said yesterday his
jDaily work, covering most of a
very active college career, was
"very valuable."
"It was just hard work. We
were often up late at night, but it
was one of the best experiences
I've had," he commented.
Beginning on The Daily as a cub
reporter, the 57-year-old Sault
Ste. Marie native interrupted his
days at the University with a year-
and-a-half in the Navy.
Varied Activities
His other activities at Michigan
included Union Opera and Michi-
gan Athletic Association publicity
for two years, Michigamua sen-
ior honor society, Sigma Delta Chi
journalistic fraternity.
A Phi Beta Kappa graduate,
Campbell also participated in jun-
ior varsity football.
"I think The Daily is one of the
outstanding college papers," the
new Tribune chief added. As for
his plans, he said, "We're just go-
*ing on the way we have been go-
ing."

Expansion of women's
Government at 'U' Told
(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is first in a series of interpretive articles on

By PHYLLIS LIPSKY
Women's student government had its beginning at the University
in 1890, when a small group of students and Ann Arbor women got
together to form the Women's League.
Expansion since that time has resulted in the creation of three
separate organizations, with legis-
lative and judicial branches. D V L P D "'ST

"The proposed name MSU would
be so similar to the name U-M as
to cause confusion and result in
infringement" the brief said. It
added that the state laws protect
the right and interest in a corpo-
rate name.
Single University?
As to "the spirit and purpose of
Article XI of the Constitution" the
brief stated that it was the consti-
tutional purpose "to create for this
state but a single university-one
which is seven times referred to
in the Constitution as the 'univer-
sity', the governing body of which
is designated as a 'body corporate'
called the Regents of the Universi-
ty of Michigan."
Sen. Harrm Hittle (R.E. Lan-
sing), chairman of the Judiciary
committee, postponed action on the
bill until today to give the legal
brief further ,consideration.
If approved by committee, the
bill then must still be passed by
the Senate as a whole.

City Voters
Elect Brown
Ann Arbor voters gave their
overwhelming approval to the new
city charter in the April 4 elec-
tions,
Adopted by slightly less than a
three to one margin, the charter
proposal carried all 15 of the city's
precincts by wide margins.
At the same time. Mayor Wil-
liam E. Brown, Jr., was elected to
his sixth term as Ann Arbor's
mayor. Prof. A. D. Moore of the
engineering college won the city
council presidency.
Gain One, Lose One
In races for council seats, the
Democrats had to settle for trad-
ing their Fifth Ward seat for one
in the Fourth Ward. W. Orval
Bunton (D) defeated incumbent
Russell H. Howard (R) in the
Fourth Ward while Dean W. Cos-
ton (D) lost his bid for re-election
to Dr. David G. Dickinson (R).
The same kind of thing hap-
pened in the county Board of Su-
p e r v i s o r s elections. Incumbent
Jack J. Garris (D) lost his Third
Ward seat to Bent F. Nielson (R)
but Donald C. Pelz (D) upset C
Ludwig Schneider (R) in the
Fourth Ward.
Republicans took the balance of
council and supervisor posts. Nor-
man J. Randall (R) was re-elected
to his First Ward council seat
while Fitch D. Forsythe (R) won
the First Ward supervisor contest
