Tall Gives 'M' 2=I Win' 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 See RENDALL'S, page 4 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. By DICK SNYDER 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." World News Roundup By The Associated Press LONDON-A diplomat. in a Continental capital said last night Nikita Khrushchev has called Joseph Stalin a murderer. The informant said Khrushchev, the chief of the Soviet Com- munist party, told a secret meeting of tbp Communists last 'month that Stalin murdered 70 out of 133 members of the party's Central Committee in 1937 in order to solidify his personal power. There .were reports that Khrushchev broke down in tears at least four times when describing the campaign of terror which wiped " out some of his closest collabo- rators. ALGRIA : . « .- French ambush Kills 107 ALGIERS, Algeria W)-French forces ambushed a big rebel de- tachment in eastern Algeria yes- terday and killed 107 in a running battle that went on into the night.

WASHINGTON - Sen. H. A. Lehman (D-NY) suggested yester- day that President Dwight D. Eisenhower is a "neutralist" stand- ing above the segregation battle.

"He's a fine boy," Mrs. Belknap said last night, and urged that he be given full credit. Earlier re- ports had asserted Prof. Belknap was rescued by a passing motorist, which Mrs. Belknap asserted were untrue.

IFC-IHC To Start 'Implementation' Implementation of the Interfra- ternity-Inter House Council rush- ing recommendations will start "within a week." IFC President Bob Weinbaum, '56, and IHC President Tom Bleha, '56, said yesterday that probably 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." U Regents OK Changes-.. Changes in the Institute of Human Biology at the University, effective July 1, 1956, were ap- proved by the Regents at their March meeting yesterday.

By KEITH DeVRIES 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-" A grant of $9,000 has been re- newed by the Muscular Dystrophy Association of America, Inc., for research in the "'department of Zoology.
