MECHANICS ENTHUSIAST:
Engin School No Grind for Campbell

By JANE HOWARD
"Something distinctive about
me?" Anne Campbell paused -and
lit a cigarette. .
"Well," she decided, "I imagine
mine is about the only girl's bike
parkged in front of Engin School."
For Miss Campbell, '55E, this
was something of an understate-
ment. Although she's known wide-
ly as "that . blonde engineer,"
friends claim this isn't her only
distinction.
Ability Has Brought Prominence
Her engineering ability has
brought her to a prominent place
in the campus eye-as a member
of Tau Beta Pi, Phi Kappa Phi,
Alpha Lambda Delta and Mortar-
board honoraries.
Engineers, she thinks, get an
outside perspective of most cam-
pus affairs, and find it "hard to
work things in when you're over
there.". By no means, however,
have all - her campus contribu-
tions dealt specifically with slide
rules. She recalls a dancing chorus
part in her Junior Girls' Play,
work as illustrations editor of the
Michigan Technic, and member-,
ship on the University Calendar-
ing Committee.
In her own field she's been class
vice-president, former Engineering
Council member, and served as
last semester's Engineering Hon-
or Council president. And she's a
student representative this year to
the Honors Convocation Commit- t
tee.

town-just 4,500") native concen-
trates on engineering mechanics,
finding it "a good, basic field-
prepares you for practically any-'
thing'"
Enthusiastic about her field, she
hinks the engineering atmosphere
"quite different from the one An-j
gell Hall class I've had. The fel-
ows over there are so considerate
nd friendly-I hate to call them
big brothers and have them see it
n print, but I don't know how
else to phrase it."
The informal and relaxed at-
mosphere of the school appeals
particularly to the Alpha Chi
Omega sorority member. She isn't
ure whether the jokes professors
ell in her predominantly male
classes are toned down for her
enefit, but in any case smiles "I
don't shock easily."
Enjoys Music
Anne's sorority sisters elaborate
highly on her simple assertion that
he likes music. Daughter of two
Music School graduates, she is a
ormer Presbyterian Church choir
oprano, and was AChiO's song
eader.
In the words of one friend, she
"knows every rowdy song and fra-
ernity song in the book."
With fewer labs and a lighter
chedule this semester, Miss
Campbell has found time for "go-
ng around with the other seniors
in the house" and for visiting var-
ous local restaurants. She de-
ights in pizza with chianti, and

provides a frequent fourth for
bridge.
Somewhat athletic-"I try 'em
all"-she plays on house teams
and enjoys golf, tennis and swim-
ming.
Anne's University life won't end
until next February when she'll
graduate with two degrees: Engi-
neering Mechanics and Mathe-
matics. This summer she'll move
into an apartment ("good place
for Vulcans' parties") and con-
tinue work here. After graduation
she plans on a master's degree,
either here, at Stanford or at
M.I.T.
Student Government Council
gives Miss Campbell hopes for a
much-improved campus organiza-
tion. She suggests a parallel of
SGC with the new Engineering
Council, which has successfully
replaced an older and less efficient
group.
Levy Elected Head
Of Steering Group
The Literary College Conference
Steering Committee elected David
Levy, '57, its new chairman yester-
day.

liam Gardner, '56; Harold Hor-
witz, '56; James Isbister, '58; Ethel

ADAGE-KEEPER :
Different Activities Mark College Career of Baity

By DAVE BAAD
Astounding though it may seem,
John Baity, '55, has made an 'old
Ben Franklin proverb work for
one of the most outstanding rec-
ords ever attained by a student at
the University,
One look at most campus lead-
ers regularly falling into bed at 2
and 3 a.m. would strongly indicate
fallacy in the famed "Early to bed,
early to rise . . ." adage.
Terming Baity the picture of ef-
ficiency, his roommate Bob Wells,
'55, claims the ex-Interfraternity
Council President and today's
Honors Convocation student rep-
resentative always climbs into bed
by 11 p.m. and rises promptly at
7 a.m.
Expression of disbelief at this
statement after examining Baity's
collegiate accomplishments
brought quick reaffirmation by
Wells "at least most of the time."
Bike Makes Difference
"Maybe his efficiency is stepped
up because he rides a bike," Wells
added. Baity is the only one of
last year's student leaders who
made use of this time saving de-
vice.
Although best known for being
IFC President during the past
year, Baity has an array of hon-
ors each of which many students
would cherish standing by itself.
There are few facets of Univer-
sity activities that Baity hasn't
entered at one time or another.
Started In SL
When he came to the University
as a freshman in the fall of 1951,
he broke into activities as a mem-
ber of Student Legislature.
If he hadn't become somewhat
disillusioned with SL midway in
his sophomore year, Bity might
have reached the top as a Legis-
Inst itute Held
At Rackham
The twenty-third annual Adult
Education Institute was held Wed-
nesday and Thursday at the Rack-
ham Building.
Sponsored jointly by the Univer-
sity Extension Service and the
Michigan State Federation of
Women's Clubs, the conference
presented an educational program
centered around various topics.
This year, the conference in-
cluded talks by members of the
University faculty on particular
aspects of art, science and health.
Also included throughout the
two day session was a series of
talks concerned with establishing
a good program for emotionally
disturbed children.
Differences in children, treat-
ment needs of emotionally dis-
turbed children and the present
legislative program for mental
health were discussed.

--Daily-Gerald Taylor

JOHN BATTY
... picture of efficiency

However in this extensive reit-
eration of Baity's accomplish-
ments, one of his major interests
has thus far not been considered.
Anybody who sees him pedal daily
down Hill St. to the Kappa Kappa
Gamma house is aware of the
omission.
He will be married to Bette
Jean Robinson June 18, with Fra-
ternity brothers Wells, Tom Leo-
pold, '55, Paul Geiger, '55, Dick
Pinkerton, '55, Bob Knutson, '56
and IFC Executive Vice-President
Jim Walters, '55, in the wedding
party.
Interested In Fraternity
Unlike many activities men, Bai-
ty has kept actively interested in
his fraternity, Phi Gamma Delta,
and twice has been honored as
the outstanding member of his
class in the fraternity.
If he is lucky, he might even
get to fit in behind Wells and Tom
Leopold in leftfield for the Phi
Gam baseball team, Wells re-
vealed a short time ago.
Golf Enthusiast
Actually Baity has a claim to
athletic fame, having reached the
semi-finals in the Illinois Junior
Closed golf tournament once and
the quarter-finals of the Illinois
Junior Open. He shoots between
74 and 78 on the University course.
He went out for freshman golf
but a bad leg keeps him from com-
peting regularly now.
After Baity gets married next
month he will head for two years
in the Air Force.
Entering as a second lieutenant,
he will serve as a plain clothesman
in Office of Special Investigations.
Society Holds
First Annual
Student TNight
Eight University medical stu-
dents made their initial public
presentation of scientific papers
yesterday at the First Annual Stu-
dent Night.
The event was sponsored by Al-
pha Omega Alpha, honorary medi-
cal society.
Papers were presented on var-
ious subjects in clinical and ex-
perimental medicine.
Considered unique, the Univer-
sity undergraduate research pro-
gram provides carefully organized
clinical research training for stu-
dents working toward an M.D.
degree.
Students presenting p a p e r s
were: Walter Keitzer, '56Med.,
Charles Votaw, '55Med., Gerald
Gleich, '56Med., Nancy Thomas,
John London, '56Med., Victor
Bloom, '57Med., Richard Stewart,
'55Med. and Gerald Abrams, '55-
Med.

lature officer. At the completion of
his term on SL, he had already
been director of SL's first admini-
strative wing and served on the
cabinet as National Students As-
sociation Coordinator.'
At this time Baity was influ-
enced to switch his interest full-
time to the Interfraternity Council.
A year later the fraternity presi-
dents elected him IFC President.
Almost Broke Precedent
Shortly after his SL activities,
Baity almost broke all precedents
by being elected IFC President in
his junior year. For three ballots
he ran in a tie with the eventual
President C. A. Mitts before finally
losing.
'He was then chosen Executive
Vice-President.
During his tenure on the Coun-
cil, IFC was voted the outstanding*
Interfraternity Council in the
country one year, and the out-
standing Council in cities under
75,000 people the next.
IFC Ready To Act
As he leaves office, Baity thinks
the IFC is now ready to act in
three areas:
The Cooperative buying field,
development of a system whereby
fraternities can handle judicial
cases involving fraternities, and
expansion of fraternities both in

terms of number and new and
better facilities.
Baity feels removal of selective
clauses from fraternity constitu-
tions is a healthy and definite
trend of the times. "They shouldn't
be removed by coercion," he added.
The present IFC policy of stim-
ulating fraternities to act indi-
vidually to remove their bias
clauses is good as long as the
present progress continues, Baity
concluded.
High Scholastic Record
Considering his extra-curricular
accomplishment Baity's scholastic
record is, to make a gross under-
statement, excellent.
Sporting a 3.78 overall average,
Baity has been claimed by Phi Eta
Sigma, Phi Kappa Phi and Phi
Beta Kappa scholastic honoraries.
An economics honors major,
Baity is presently serving as as-
sistant to Prof. Leonard L. Wat-
kins of the economics department.
He is co-holder of the Sims Schol-
arship, awarded annually to the
outstanding junior student in eco-
nomics.
Member of Five Honoraries
Five other honoraries hold Bai-
ty's membership: Michigamua,
Sphinx, Hectorians, Arnold Air
Society and Scabbard and Blade.
He is also director of the student
speaker's bureau.
