COLLEGE ROUNDUP:

C ornell Condemns Discrimination

By BETTY SCHOMER C
At Cornell University, the fac-
ulty passed a resolution express-
ing its disapproval of discrimina-
tory practices by campus organi-
zations.
Further recommendations in-
cluded no incoming student or-
ganization whose constitution had
such discriminatory clauses would
be allowed at the 4niversity.
r Any new group is to be further
required to deliver to the Faculty
Committee on Student Affairs a
' copy of its constitution and by-
laws and a signed pledge that its
ritual contains no discriminatory
practices..
MSU Passes Bill
At MSU, an anti-discrimination
bill was passed by Student Con-
gress similar in its content to
V the faculty ruling at Cornell.
It also provides for a committee
to be established to aid any new
organization in the removal of
discriminatory clauses.
However, the new ordinance
leaves solution of the problem in

i

the hands of the fraternities and
sororities.
* * *
At UCLA, a disaster prepared-
ness committee has been set up.
Through the cooperation of the
Los Angeles Fire Department, a
training program has been es-
tablished to acquaint students
with first aid, fire control and
evacuation procedures in case of
an atomic attack.
Every sorority, fraternity and
living group is to select represen-
tatives to attend the training ses-
sions.
Closed Meetings Disapproved
Candidates for the Board of
Control at the University of
Washington expressed disapprov-
al of the closed meetings of the
Board.
One candidate commented that
if the organization is really rep-
resentative of the student body,
there is no reason why the press
or the students should ever be
barred from attending the meet-
ings.
Most of the candidates agreed
that a vote should be taken each

time to determine if the members
of the Board want to exclude the
public and the press.
No Women's Hours
At the University of Colorado,
the Associated Women Students
house and senate approved a pro-
posal abolishing senior women's
hours.
Effective in the fall, the honor-
type system was opposed by only
three who felt that the new rul-
ing was "too liberal" and that
"the girls would be just asking
for trouble."
During the recent Big Ten In-
ter-Fraternity Council-Pan-Hel-
lenic Association conference in
Columbus, the University IFC
was chosen to send a representa-
tive to the National IFC meet-
ing in September.
The representative, who has not
as yet been named, will represent
the Big-Ten IFC.
In addition to passenger cars,
Michigan stands first in the manu-
facture of gray iron, cutting tools,
woodworking machinery, and salt
and cereal preparations.

New Front
The Virginian Restaurant,
damaged by fire Tuesday, will
not reopen for "at least two
weeks," according to its propri-
etor, Lawrence F. Tibbals.
Complete rebuilding of the
front of the restaurant is nec-
essary. The fire was localized
in the forward part of the
basement.
Wiring, which started the fire,
will have to be replaced, and
the floor itself must be rebuilt.
Water damage to refrigeration
equipment will amount to "four
or five hundred dollars," Tib-
bals said.
"It's rather ironical," Tib-
bals commented. "We'd just
finished a new front on the
restaurant the day of the fire."
Wild's clothing store, next
door to the Virginian, has been
closed singe Tuesday due to
smoke damage. It will reopen
today. The store is without
much of its stock. Most of it
was sold to an underwriter's
company.

In order to train Latin American
teachers to handle social and ed-
ucational problems while raising
the standard of living in underde-
veloped countries, UNESCO has
set up a Fundamental Education
Center at Patzcuaro, Mexico.
As part of the University's pro-
gram in comparative education, a
summer workshop directed by
Prof. Claude Eggertsen of the edu-
cation school studied the training
and objectives of the UNESCO
teaching program.
At the Center, about one hun-
dred professional people are giv-
en specialized training. They will
return to staff centers in their
countries which will teach people
how to take education to others in
remote areas.
Study Techniques and Skills
Professional people at the Cen-
ter, divided into groups, are taught
techniques used in handling rural
economy, h e a 1 t h, recreation,.

homemaking, and basic culture
problems.
Such things as tribal traditions,
religion, community economy and
sources of water supply are neces-
sary to know before a "fundamen-
tal educationist" can expect to
help an underdeveloped group.
In describing some of the tech-
niques the center used, Prof. Eg-
gertsen said the teachers ap-
proach natives through recreation
and learn native dances and tra-
ditions.
Convey Health Ideas
Puppets and cartoon posters
convey health ideas to the people.
"Wall newspapers are an exam-
ple of this medium," Prof. Eggert-
sen said. "Huge newssheets, with a
picture perhaps of a fly hovering
over a bowl with a figure symbol-
izing death, are hung on a public
wall.
"It might be interesting to
note," Prof. Eggertsen continued,"

that basketball is one of the chief
recreational sports in most of the
villages."
Prof. Eggertsen spoke of two
limitations the UNESCO education
center has to meet.
First, the teachers have to be
careful how they introduce reforms
and a whole new way of life to
people in underdeveloped areas.
"Second," Prof. Eggertsen con-
tinued, the teachers have to con-
sider how deeply village traditions
and religious practices affect the
everyday life of the native.
Introduce Changes
"Sometimes it is very difficult to
introduce a change where tradi-
tions strongly influence the na-
tive," Prof. Eggertsen added.
Despite these limitations, Prof.
Eggertsen believes the willingness
to help other people is a major
step towards improving their liv-
ing standards.
UNESCO plans to set up similar

training centers for people to learn
how to improve conditions in un-
derdeveloped areas.
A training school for people in
the Middle East area has been es-
tablished in Egypt.
The University's workshop study
tour will again visit the Educa-
tion Center at Patzcuaro, Mexico
this summer.
Water Safety
To Be Taught
Courses in water safety will be
taught this summer in Red Cross
Aquatic Schools throughout the
Midwest.
The 10-day schools are held for
the purpose of training new lead-
ers and instructors in first aid,
swimming, life saving, boating,
canoeing, sailing, and accident
prevention.

Growing t
Building Boom Continues;
Area Up 56% Over 1946
Ann Arbor is one of the fastest-growing cities in Michigan, and
it's getting bigger all the time.
"As of today, I don't know what's going to stop it," city Planning
Director Ray Eastman said recently. Only war or depression could stop
the city's present rate of growth from continuing, he said.
When quoting figures, Eastmanis careful to specify "as of yes-
terday." This month the city grew some more with the annexation of
two properties. Today's figure may be different.
Since 1950 Ann Arbor has grown to 129 percent of its area then.
The city's present size of 60742 acres is 156 per cent of the 1946 figure.
.. 5000 More
In population Ann Arbor's growth has been causing surprises, too.
The 1950 census set the city's total at 48,000 persons, including Uni-
versity students. Five thousand more people have been added to that
figure among townspeople alone, City Clerk Fred Looker estimates
from new water and sewer connections.
Among Michigan towns, Ann Arbor is probably second in area
,r growth, yielding honors only to Midland, Eastman said. Midland re-
cently annexed most of its township, whereas Ann Arbor growth has
been gradual,
Most of recent annexations have been requested by builders plan-
ning developments outside current city limits. They want to receive
the benefits of the city's sewer and water systems, as well as police and
fire protection.
In 1954 alone 579 acres were added. All that property as well as
some of the more recently annexed land has been or is being improved.
Residential construction is greatest on the southwest edge of
town. "It's the only place there's land cheap enough," is the way one
builder explained it. Muddy-footed workmen are building subdivision
after subdivision in that area.
Cause and Result
The construction boom is both the cause and the result of Ann
Arbor's growth. Business has sensed the lack of available land and the
value of new markets opening up on the outskirts of town.
"The community all around here is growing," the manager of a
chain grocery store which recently opened near the city limits said.
"It's a nice busy intersection and
we're doing good business right
from the start."
Story by "It's working out beautifully,"
PETE ECKSTEI N said the representative of an Ann
Arbor bank, discussing its new
branch far from the business dis-
Photos by trict of town.
t in Ann JOH N H I RTZ EL "The bank is fulfilling a need
for a tremendous number of new
residents." The drive-in arrange-
ment, one of two in the city, is
S: : : i"very popular with customers," he
said. "We're watching things very
closely" for new population trends
SO to see whether they warrant fur-
ther outward expansion.
New High School
Not to be outdone, the schools
are following and leading the
trend outward. A multi-million
dollar high school, planned for op-
eration in 1956, is being built near
the Michigan Stadium.
"It's the only place you could lo-
cate it," Superintendent of Schools
Jack Elzay said. "There's no avail-
-~ ~.. ~ ~ , s.. .* .able space in the center of town."
;As for the transportation problem,
"I hope the city will improve serv-
ice tremendously" in response to a
growing need in the area near the
school, he said.
A somewhat controversial out-
e of several businesses which have branches growth of all this expansion is
r of town. winding streets, now quite common
in outlying areas. As Planning Di-
rec-or Eastman explains it, it's a
" "riatter of taste."
The curving streets were plan-
ned on the assumption that they
"improve the stability of property
Frvalues," he said, both from the
standpoint of beauty and safety.
He cited experiences in some cit-
ies planned in the "gridiron" pat-
tern. Residential streets were be-
ing used by through traffic avoid-
_',fing main arteries, and the situa-
tion led authorities to erect barri-
cades to prevent it, he said.
