ot one member of the panel has
ne-on either side."
Many ex-officio and elected
GC members were at the meet
g along with several sorority
lumnae officials.
Idea 'Unfair'
Alumnae advisor Mrs. William
Talz said, "The idea that this
roup must accept a plan without
ny effort on the part of the study
roup toward coming to you to
licit your opinions is unfair."
Former SGC vice-president Don-
a Netzer, herself an affiliate, 56,
autioned, "The questions being
sked today are questions which
iould have been asked all fall
uring the study."
One sorority girl replied, "It's
ard to question something you
dn't know was going on."
'Delegates Were Informed'
Miss Townsend reminded the
oup, "All delegates were inform-
I and requested at the beginning
the study to direct any ques-
ons or facts they had to the
anhellenic representatives."
The dispute ended as one mem-
er commented, "It is difficult to
Lise guestions until you have the
acts and that is just what we are
oing now on the basis of this
port."
Basing her comments on "past
xperience with both fall and
pring rushing," Mrs. Walz said
hat spring rushing "puts sorori-
es at a disadvalitage.
Quotas Hard to Fill
"Facts indicate," she claimed,
that quotas are hard to fill in
ie spring and that propaganda-
alk in the dorms by people who

don't know the system-prejudices
too many people against sorori-
ties. A return to spring rushing
will eventually mean that some
sororities will be forced off cam-
pus."
Answering a call from Council
President Hank Berliner, 56, for
more "analagous facts why spring
rushing was dropped five years
ago," Mrs. Walz said, "What situa-
tion is perfectly analagous to one
many years earlier? You can't say
the situation is the same."
Explanation Given
Berliner reminded the assembled
members that "the burden of proof
rests upon those who are not in
favor of this report to propose
cogent reasons why they are not,
in view of the fact that this de-
cision was a majority-minority one
and not a two-two decision.
"If the report had been the re-
sult of an even split, then it would
be up to those opposing the status
quo to present their case."
Miss Townsend, expressing de-
sire for any written comments of
the group, adjourned the meeting
until 4 p.m. Tuesday.
Coming Elections
Ann Arbor's annual elections will
be held on April 2, with the voters
having a choice of four cendidates
for two positions of alderman-at-
large.
In the race are incumbents Rus-
sell Burns and Wendell Forsyth,
Republicans, and Albert Logan
and Dean Coston, Democrats.
Also to be considered by the
electorate are two city charter
amendments, and three annexa-
tions of property into the city.

By ALLAN STILLWAGON
Do you remember what it's like
to be on the top of a Jungle Gym?
No airplane could climb as high
when you're small and just a little
bit scared. The other kids looked
like midgets and you were proud
because you got up with' ro help
from anybody.
It's a great feeling, rivaled only
by swings, slides and teeter-totters.
The amount of planning and or-
ganization behind each Jungle
Gym in the city is great, however,
and the Department of Parks has
little time to take advantage of
the facilities they maintain.
Now finishing its 50th year of
service, the Ann Arbor Park Board
has amassed an impressive list of
accomplishments.
Began in 1905
The city began in 1905 with a
used building supply storage year,
and now controls 1130 acres of
park land. Before that time, a
long hard work week and an abun-
dance of wide open spaces made
city recreation unheard of. Today,
an airport, a golf course, 17 parks
and six playflelds command the
attention of the park commission-
ers and the Superintendant of
Parks, E. A. Gallup.
Winter and summer, there is
always something happening at
one of the Ann Arbor parks or
playgrounds.I
In the summer, stoves and pic-
nic tables are captured by those
not attracted by softball diamonds,
tennis courts, shuffle board courts
or an archery range. For those
who like to provide their own en-
tertainment, more than 100 acres,
including the Glen and Arboretum,
are classified as "wooded area."
For the young fry, six merry-
go-rounds, 10 sandboxes and two
wading pools promise excitement.
A Mount Everest climber and a
Miracle Whirl are offered to the
especially brave.
Golf Tournaments
Last summer 9600 players par-
ticipated in the city-sponsored
baseball tournaments, 400 in golf
tournaments. A supervised sum-
mer recreation program delights
the foot-loose younger set at 11
local elementary schools over the
city. Last summer 64,000 of their
ranks swooped down upon Ann
Arbor's team of trained personnel.
With the snows come a number
of indoor attractions. Both men's
a n d women's choruses thrive
alongside the Ann Arbor Civic
Orchestra from September to
June.
Adult recreation classes in fall
and winter attract more than
5000.
Four parks in Ann Arbor offer
ice skating facilities with heated
shelters. Burns Park, West Park,
Allmendinger Park and Northside
served more than 38,000 fans last
winter.
4 A senior citizens group meets on
Tuesday evenings throughout the
entire year.
This past year was devoted to
the improvement of Ann Arbor
parks rather than the purchase of

new ones. Extensive cleanup and
development of land was carried
on at the Veteran's Memorial, and
substantial progress was made in
planning the memorial coliseum to
be located there.

The most typical of the muni-
cipal recreation areas familiar to
University students is Island Park.
Bordering the scenic Huron river
east of Wall street, the area " in-
cludes several offshore island; re-

No less than five soft and hard
ball diamonds are maintained
along with swings, a merry-go-
round, and a Miracle Whirl for the
uninhibited.
Those hunting an appropriate
locale for picnics find Island Park
a joy. Thirty-five soft grassy acres
abound with tables, benches and
camp stoves. In case of rain, two

The Ann Arbor Park system is
a source of well-earned elation
for the city.
With very modest appropria-
tions, land for parks and play-'
grounds has been developed in all
parts of the city, much more than
the minimum standard set by the
National Recreation Association.
Neighboring communities eye
the local accomplishments envi-
ously and officials continually
"point with pride." Even more sig-
nificant is the appreciation ex-
pressed by thousands of citizens
through their year-after-year re-
turn.
In Ann Arbor, the fresh green
welcome mats are always out for
young and old.
Report Given.
On Resperine
Resperine, a tranquilizing drug,
may prove helpful in the treatment
of children who are emotionally
unstable and easily upset.
According to Dr. Ernest H. Wat-
son, medical director of the pedia-
tric out-patient department at
University Hospital, reports on the
use of resperine on children living
in supervised residences have been
"very favorable."
Presenting a report to the mem-
bers of the Michigan Clinical In-
stitute in Detroit, Dr. Watson not-
ed the effects of resperine cannot
be fully realized until the drug
has been administered for several
weeks.
Dr. Watson said similar sedation
in children might be achieved more
rapidly by the use of another new
drug, chlorpromazine.
