COFFEE AT CEREMONY -- (Left to right) Regent Connable,
President Hatcher, Press Director Wieck, Regent Powers and
Press Director Emeritus Robbins.
The new University of Michigan Press Building was informally
dedicated yesterday.
University Board of Regents, President Harlan H. Hatcher and
Vice-President of Student Affairs James A. Lewis were among those
who toured the structure.
Although the grounds in front of the building are not completed,
the building itself is 'already being used as the University Press's
headquarters.
Built with the support of 9,000 University alumni and friends, the
$120,000 building commemorates a -grant of $30,000 from the 1954-55
Michigan ,Alumni Fund by a plaque in the lobby.
Special guest at the ceremony was Press Director' Emeritus Frank
Robbins. Robbins was first director of the University Press.
I would say it's the answer to a maiden's prayer," he said of
the new structure.
University Regent Roscoe O. Bonisteel remarked, "I am very
pleased with the arrangement of the building and the adaptability
with which it was built."

Rendall's Goal
Sinks Larries
By DAVE GREY
Special To The Daily
COLORADO SPRINGS--iistory
almost repeated itself here last
night as Michigan was extended to
an overtime by St. Lawrence be-
fore finally winning 2-1.
By the narrow victory, the Wol-
verines, earned the right to meet
Michigan Tech in the finals of the
NCAA Hockey Tournament at the
Broadmoor tonight.
St. Lawrence will play Boston
College in the consolation game
starting at 2:15 this afternoon.
Near Upset
St. Lawrence almost pulled ore
of the biggest upsets since R.P.I.'s
stunning victory over Michigan in
1954.
But it was not in the cards for
the Larries as Don McIntosh skat-
ed in with the puck from'mid-ice
and passed it at the last possible
moment to Tom Rendall, who
slapped the puck into a wide open
net. '
St. Lawrence goalie Sarge White
tier: never had a chance to stop
the game winning goal.
Heartbreaking
It was a heartbreaking defeat
for the .Saints, who had battered
the heavily favored defending
champions to a standstill most of
the game.
The 2500 fans were behind the
underdog Larries all the way.
A small but enthusiastic Michi-
gan following urged the Wolver-
ines on to a thrilling third period
tying score.
Ed Switzer brought the Wolver-
ines back into the game at 3:59
when his hard shot from 30 feet
out to the left blazed waist-high
past Whittier who had been in-
vincible before that.
The Wolverines had been put at
the goal disadvantage just at the
close of the second stanza. Bernie

Small Quad Fire
The acrid smell of burnt cloth
still hung in the air last night
following a small early morning
blaze in the basement of East
Quad.
The fire, discovered by the night
watchman shortly after 5 a.m.,
was quickly extinguished by the
Ann Arbor Fire Department.
It was caused by the overheating
of a steam dryer filled with
kitchen towels. The towels were
completely destroyed, but there
was no further damage.

Precedent may be in the making
today as Student Government
Council's Board in Review meets
at 104a.m. today to consider the
Council's recent decision in favor
of sorority spring rushing.
All seven Board members have
been notified of the meeting re-
quested by Dean of Women Deb-
orah Bacon, and differences of
opinion are already building up
as to what areas the Board may
review.
Board chairman Prof. Lionel
Laing of the political science de-
partment said, "We will probably
have to determine first just what
constitutes a review since there
is apparently more than one school
of thought as to what our preroga-
tives are."
Since this is the first time the
Board has met during SGC's one-
year existence, Prof. Laing said,
"We may be setting a very valu-
able precedent."
Confronted by Problem
Chief problem confronting the
Board will probably be deciding
whether it was set up to review
substantive action taken by the
Council or whether it merely may
decide if the action taken was pro-
cedurally correct.
According to the proposal under
which SGC operates, points at
issue which can come up for Board
action "involve questions of the
Council's jurisdiction or require
further consideration in view of
Regential policy or administrative
practice."
Student members of the Board
will take the position that only
procedure is subject to Board
action, while some other members
are expected to argue that the
Board should review the actual
substance of the Council's approv-
al of spring rushing.
Other Questions
Many other questions also may
come up for precedent-setting
action tomorrow, including
whether or not the chairman may
vote and what action or vote
would be necessary to reverse a
Council decision.
Under the SGC proposal, four
Board members constitute a quor-
um, providing the quorum is made
up of at least one student, faculty
member and administrator. The
Dean of Men and Women may send
representatives in their absence.
The Board's declaration of intent
to review in the Daily Official
Bulletin within four days follow-
ing council action serves as a stay
of that action.
The proposal states, "Provision
for appeal according to a time
schedule permits the Council's
actions to become effective with-
out undue delay, but at the same
time provides adequate safeguards
against, hasty decisions."

Larson Tells
Of Executive
Deicencies
By GERALI DeMAAGD
There has been too little discus-
sion on the grave and growing
problem of how to select, train and
attract the right kind of people
for the critically important job
as a political executive, Arthur
Larson, Under -Secretary of Labor
said last night.
Speaking at the 28th annual
Founders' Day ;Dinner Larson de-
fined political executives as that
small group of people appointed
to head up government 'depart-
ments. and agencies temporarily,
who then ret.urn to theirm regular
careers in law and the business
world.
"It is their purpose," he said,
"to give fresh direction and chal-
lenge to the activities of their de-
partment, sense the necessity of
meeting new needs and invent new
programs,"~
There is a distinctive problem
in training the political executive
since by nature it s not a full
time career, Larson pointed out.
"Law is as good training for a
part time political executive as
any," he said. "But, onie import-
ant item is apt to be jmissing both
from legal training and legal prac-
tices, and that is that bundle of
techniques known as administra-
tive experience."
Many lawyers become sufficient-
ly acquainted -with administrative
background through the affairs. of
their clients he said. Most of this
would have to be done after law
school he pointed out.
Larson recommended instead a
special law school trainng course
which would be an "intensive
grounding in the operation of our
system of government, aided if
possible by some kind of intern-
ship in the company of a decision
making official."

The administration at the Veterans Hospital strives to give more
than just medical care.
Lounges in the wards, a chapel and a library are all facilities
designed for the use of patients.
"We not only encourage the veterans to make use of these," says
John E. Willoughby, assistant manager of the hospital, "but sometimes
even prescribe the use of the library for certain patients."
With the help of volunteer organizations an extensive social
program is maintained.
This week, for example, a dance, a Monte Carlo party, a coffee
hour and the showing of two movies are scheduled.
The medical program itself at the hospital is rated highly.
"Being connected quite closely with the University, we get some
of the top professional physicians in the world on our staff," Willough-
by said.
"Because the hospital is very new we also have some of the
mnt umn-rate meal e-nnent aailabe-"
