Panhel-Assembly Rushing Study
By DICK SNYDER
Panhellenic representatives, disturbed over the recent report
recommending spring rushing, yesterday -expressed views that the
report was "incomplete," "unfair" and "lacking of facts."
Though no vote was taken at the special two-hour meeting pre-
sided over by Panhel President Debbie Townsend, '56, statements of
angry sorority delegates reflected overwhelming support of the present
fall rushing setup.

TV ...AND TB PATIENTS

U' Hospital Praises
Us e ofTelevision
By KEITH DEVRIES
University Hospital officials still remember what happened when
they brought in ,a television set to the tuberculosis ward where a
Mexcan girl was confined last year.
"Like our other TB patients, all she was allowed to do was read
and write a few letters for her first six months of. confinement," Dr.
Nancy E. Furstenberg of the TB ward remembers.

"This limited program was

Classroom
Rule Books
Distributed
A little grey booklet outlinin
correct classroom conduct is' be
ing distributed to lit school teach
erg.
Called "Information and Regu
lations .Governing the Conduct o
Undergraduate Courses," the book
.let is designed to provide th
teaching staff with a "convenien
list of established policies an
practices governing the conduc
of undergraduate courses."
Concerning class attendance th
booklet reminds teachers tha
"students are expected to atten
classes regularly."
'Reasonably Accurate' Records
The booklet suggests that teach
ers keep "reasonably accurate
attendance records and warn
that "instructors should be espec
ially careful to hold regular classe
and to take attendance" on day
preceding and following vaca
tions,
In a section titled "Proctorin
of Final Examinations," the book
let lists six "basic principles'
which "are not meant to be ex
haustive." The principles are: b
r 1) Each examination should be
effectively proctored; in no cas
should the room be left unattend
ed. (In the opinion of the Board
whenever feasible, there would b
two proctors for every 25 to 5
students, with a proctor added fo
each additional 50 students.)
,Alternate Seats
2) When space permits student
should be asked to sit in alternat
seats.
3) .e. the instructor should re
quire that all books, notebooks
extra bluebooks and papers of any
kind be left in the front of th
room.
4) The instructor should an
nounce at the beginning of th
examination that students ar
expected to remain in the room
until they are ready to turn i
their examinations.
Permission to leave the room
while the examination is in pro
gress may be granted by the in
structor for good cause (SMOK
ING IS NOT A GOOD CAUSE)
Only one student may be absen
from the examination room at
time.
5) In objective examinations i
is recommended that two sets of
questions be distributed alter-
nately to students.
6) When a proctor discovers
cheating during the examination
he should take up the student's
blue book immediately.

very tedious for her. After a while
" she just kept staring at the four
walls of her room."
Stopped Speaking English
Soon she even stopped speaking
English and relapsed into her
native Spanish.
"Last year with money from
the Easter Seal drive, we had
bought two new television sets,"
Dr. Furstenberg says. "We knew
one would have to go to her."
g "I will never forget how her
eyes lighted up when we brought
ithe set in. If we had given her
a million dollars we couldn't have
- helped her like that."
f Television is called by both
patients and staff members one
- of the most important morale-
it boosters a hospital can make use
d of.
Fight Boredom
The Hospital is making a con-
e tinually increasing use of tele-
.t vision. Sets have been placed in
d polio, tuberculosis and children's
wards where the fight against
boredom is particularly important.
A plan is also being worked out
"; that would let ambulatory patients
use the set in Hospital School.
s In addition, arrangements are
- made that allow patients in pri-
s vate and semi-private rooms to
s rent sets at a nominal rate from
- a local concern.
How long the TV will be watch-
g ed and what programs will be
-seen is something worked out gen-
erally by the patients themselves.
- While they admit having a few
arguments, they say it's usually
e settled "very democratically."
e
- Speakers Under Pillows
i, The problem of how long a set
e should be kept on is settled easily
0 in the polio ward. There individ-
r ual speakers placed under pat-
ients' pillows permit some to keep
viewing TV while others are
sleeping.
s One thing most of the patients
e want to avoid is watching the sets
continually.
"We try to keep our viewing as
, something of a treat. If we watch-
y ed everything tha came on, tele-
e vision would be pretty boring after
a few months," one patient says.
- Patients' viewing tastes are
e about 'the same asthose of people
e to whom watching television is
n not such an important need.
n Women particularly like to
watch daytime programs from
n Dave Garroway to the soap operas,
- while men prefer sports and eve-
- ning shows.
'Mickey' Favored
t "For children the 'Mickey Mouse
a Club",has become something that
they can look forward to through
t the whole day," Mildred H. Wal-
f ton of the Hospital School says.
- "Some of their biggest thrills
come when movies taken of ourj
s children's set-up at the hospital
a are shown on the program," some-
s thing that has happened several]
times now."
Hospital officials look forward1

a minority report in favor of the
status quo.
Yesterday's criticism ceitered
mainly on technical points of the
study. Members said that no ques-
tionnaires were sent to the indi-
vidual sororities themselves, let-
ters to residence hall and sorority
directors were not the saie, indi-
vidual girls were not consulted as
to how emotionally, mature they
were and the questionnaires form-
ulated by Survey, Research were
not interpreted by the same or-
ganization.
Dissatisfaction Evident
Sardonic smiles and side com-
ments greeted one Panhel delegate
who expressed approval of the re-
port and there were apparent looks
of dissatisfaction as study com-
mittee members Jane Germany,
'56, and Jean Scruggs, '58, patient-
ly answered questions on the re-
port.

leaders. Lt. Gen. Rafael Garcia
Valino, Spanish high commission-
er, arrived in Madrid for secret

new terror into the lives of French
settlers. In Paris, Algerian nation-
alists rioted in the streets 'while
the French National Assembly de-
bated giving Premier Guy Mollet
special emergency powers to deal
with terrorism in Algeria.
TUNISIA-A French mob sacked
the offices of the United States

that Americans were encouraging
nationalists seeking independence

British Boot
Archbishop
Off Cyprus
Greeks Answer
Irate, Violent
NICOSIA, Cyprus WA~-The Brit-
ish banished Archbishop Makarios
III as a dangerous rebel yesterday
and clamped a steel grip on this
rebellious island bastion.
Defiant violence was the answer
of Greek-Cypriots.
The British said the high Greek
Orthodox churchman may actu-
ally have been the chief under-
ground terrorist here in Britain's
last Middle East military base.
Favored Independence
He was a leader of the Greek-
Cypriot drive for independence of
this colony from Britain and -
eventually - union with Greece.
The British made their decision
to banish him with suddenness
after long deliberations and calcu-
lation of the risks.
They said he now had become
committed irrevocably to violence
and they refused to say where he
was being held.
Reaction was swift:
1.) The Greek government ear-
ly today announced in Athens it
was recalling its ambassador to
London and complaining to the
United Nations.
Violence Flares
2.) Task forces from the 50,000
British troops on the island spread
out over Nicosia and urban centers
in strength and violence flared as
expected.
British patrols were fired upon
but only three casualties were re-
ported.
3.) In Washington, United
States officials expressed deep con-
cern over the deterioration of rela-
tions between Britain and Greece.
They are allies of the United States
in the North Atlantic Treaty Or-
ganization.
The archbishop was taken off a

McKay Files
For Oregon
Senate Seat
SALEM, Ore QP)-Secretary of
the Interior Douglas McKay came
here today and filed as a candidate
for the United States Senate, set-'
ting up a major November elec-
tion test with Sen. Wayne Morse,
Oregon Democrat and sharp Ad-
ministration critic.
McKay said the National Re-
publican Committee had asked him
to do it. But "the superb example
of resoluteness and courage" in
President Dwight D. Eisenhower's
decision to run again led him to
decide," he said,
In 1953 McKay resigned as Ore-
gon's Governor to take the Cabinet
post at President Eisenhower's re-
quest.
The President did not ask him
to run for the Senate, McKay said
today, although at the White
House Thursday McKay told him
he probably would.
But once McKay announced his
candidacy, the President com-
mended and endorsed him.

Over 20-"Ticket Ruing
By RENE GNAM
Students were amazed, disheartened, flustered.
After waiting in line all night to buy tickets for the two-game
hockey series with Michigan Tech, University students were told they
could only buy 20 tickets each.
Many planned to buy in excess of 50 tickets, while some men in
line were representing upwards of 200 other students.
When the Athletic Administration Building box office opened at
8:30 yesterday morning, ticket officials were met by a line of students

extending as far as the IM Build-
ing. The line had started forming
at 2 p.m. Thursday.
The front section of the linej
gathered around a Sterno heater
and portable radio during most of
the night.
Athletic department officials
were forced to limit the number of
tickets that could be bought. They
felt that mass ticket buying would
prevent other persons from pur-
chasing the prized ducats.
As it was, the last ticket was sold
at 10:05 a.m. yesterday. Several
campus groups had organized a
"shift watch." In this fashion,
alternating students stood in line
for an hour or two. They were re-
placed by others when their watch
was up. This insured their posi-
tions in line.
Student skipped sleep, classes
and meals in an attempt to pur-
chase the tickets.
Later, students expressed the
opinion that the athletic depart-
ment should have issued a prior
statement concerning the limita-
tion of tickets.

A resolution supporting establishment of a medical school was
received yesterday from the Grand Rapids Board of E'ducation.
The Board's resolution cited Grand Rapids' "finer facilities
and more technically-trained medical practitioners than any other
"large center outside the Detroit
area."

Michigan climbed to within one
point of its first undisputed West-
ern Intercollegiate Hockey League
crown last night by smashing
Michigan Tech again, 5-1, before
the largest crowd in Coliseum his-
tory.
An even larger throng is expect-
ed to be on hand tonight as the
teams clash head-on for the cham-
pionship. Faceoff is at 8 p.m. The
McNaughton Trophy will go to the
winner.
Despite the impressive margin of
victory last night, the 3,700 fans
saw Michigan put to one of its
stiffest tests of the season.
It required afurious three-goal
splurge in the final period to
clinch the Wolverines' third
straight triumph over their fellow
WIHL representatives to next
week's NCAA championship play-
offs'in Colorado.
Dunnigan Garners Two
,Dick Dunnigan, Michigan's
closest approximation to perpet-
ual motion, accounted for two of
his team's goals, while Tom Ren-
dall, Don McIntosh, and Jerry
Karpinka garnered one apiece.
Captain Bill MacFarland rose a
notch to fourth place in the WIHI;
scoring race by registering three
assists. He now trails third place
John McManus of the Huskies by
four points and league-leading
John Andrews of Colorado College
by six. Andrews, however, has al-
ready completed his season's play..
Still smarting from its two hu.
miliating losses to Michigan last
weekend at Houghton, Tech show'
ed its intention of gaining revenge
by setting a torrid pace from the
beginning.
Huskies Take Lead
This paid off for the Huskies a
they drove home their only score
at 3:27 of the first period to take
a 1-0 lead. Bill McLay's hard, low
screen shot from the right proved
to be the match of Wolverine
goalie Lorne Howes.
From then on Howes was In-
vincible, and so was the rest of the
brilliant Michigan defense. They
had to be, as Tech equalled the
ferocity of the Wolverine offense
for most of the remainder of the
,game.
Gradually Michigan gained the
upper hand. The Tech lead was,
erased at 7:06 when Rendal con-
verted MacFarland's goal-mouth
pass into the tying score with the
Huskies minus a man in the pen-
alty, box.
Drive after drive for both teams
was thwarted before it penetrated
deep into the offensive zone. The
alert defenses broke up so many
plays in center ice that Tech goalie
Bob McManus and Michigan's
Howes combined for a mere 19
choice saves in the first period.
Wolverines Grab Lead
Early in the second stanza, the
Wolverines moved ahead to stay.
Ed Switzer eluded two defenders
as he drove in from the blue line
on the left. With the Tech team

To find "a happy medium" is
something many people try to do.
This was the task set before par-
ticipants in the opera by Mozart,
"The Magic Flute," whieh is fin-

Mozart lived during a period
when the culture was "highly

opera was affected by this.
However, Prof. WilliamF. Hal-
stead, of the speech department,
explained that a modern audience
is- accustomed to and expects

wouldn't be prepared to accept a
too highly stylized production so
"we had to find a happy medium
in presenting the spectacle."
