ANN ARBOR GROWS:

City Lists Improvements

By JIM ACHESON

With many improvements al-
ready completed, Ann Arbor is
still in the process of a tremen-
dous growth trend, and many pro-
grams leading to its relief are
still being planned.
In the past six years, the city
has grown in population by 60
per cent.
Local industries have flourished
in past years, and many new busi-
nesses have been born or moved
here from other localities.
Post Office Handles 400,000 Letters
The Post Office Department,
which ten years ago handled about
280,000 letters a day, now pro-
cesses about 400,000. This con-
stitutes a 70 per cent increase,
and this year's Christmas rush is
expected to be even greater than
ever before.
In 1900, Ann Arbor had a total
population of 14,500. It now
boasts a total of approximately
36,250 inhabitants, which, if sup-
plemented by the student body,
reaches a total of 48,750. With
this in mind, the city expects the
population in the year 2000 to
reach the 63,000 mark.
As a result of this and the in-
crease, in the University enroll-
ment, steps have been taken to
alleviate the difficulties which
could occur as a result of the tre-
mendous growing population.
City Gains 2,000 Acres
Shortly after the Second World
War, the city began an extensive
development program that is still
far from completed. From a little
under .4,000 acres of land owned
by the city at the outset of the
land-buying campaign, the area
has grown to a total of better
than 6,000 acres.
Development projects contain
homes ranging in price from
$12,000 to $40,000, a large number
cGet-Out-Vote'
Record Issued
"More; Michigan Madness," a
41/2-minute record written by Tom
Cleveland, '57, Dave Redick, '57,
and Larry Charfoss was released
yesterday. The purpose of the
tecord is to get out the vote for
the coming SGC elections, accord-
ing to Charfoos, council publicity
chairman.
Officers Elected,
Mimes Announces
Mimes, the Union Opera's spon-
sor and honorary fraternity, has
announced the election of the fol-
lowing officers: Thomas Lewy, '58,
Vice-President,and Stewart Gor-
don, '58, Historian.
Members of Mimes, who call
themselves "direct descendents of
the gods of Thespis," are currently'
working on this year's Union Op-
era production, "Film Flam."

of which are now well underway
and in successful operation. Many
of the homes are located in the
south-west area of Ann Arbor.
This is partially due to the build-
ing of the new high school, which
will hold from two to three times
the number of students as the
old.
In the past ten years the city
has bought 42,000 acres of the sur-
rounding country - more in the
past five years than in the prev-
ious fifty.
Recreation Plan Proposed
In addition to the land being
developed into homes, the city will
go to the voters this spring for
approval of a campaign to de-
velop a high-quality recreational
area in Veteran's Memorial Park.
If the plan is approved, the area
will rank as one of the best re-
creational areas in the country.
Parking, which has always been
a problem to Ann Arbor, has been
greatly alleviated by a newly de-
veloped parking system, and plans
are now underway for future im-
provements. For its size, said
Mayor William E. Brown recently,
Ann Arbor now ranks as having

one of the best parking systems
In the country. Three quarters
of a million dollars have already
been spent on this project alone.
Also in the near future, the city
will begin work with the highway
department on possible rerouting
of some traffic that goes through
the city. The proposed rerouting
would eliminate weekly bottle-
necks.
New Fire Department Added
A new Fire Department, com-
plete with station and modern
equipment, and improvements in
the sewage and sanitation sys-
tems, have also added to the city's
material growth.
So far this year contracts equal-
ling $849,000 have been awarded
for the construction of sanitary
sewers, and contracts for another
$826,000 have been issued for the
building of drainage sewers.
The , city's sewage and water
plants are two of the finest in the
country at present, Mayor Brown
said; and in ten years, to account
for the area's growth, additional
improvements will be made in the
sanitation plant.

.Professors
Participate
in Program
Four University of Michigan fac-
ulty members are participating in
the celebration-conference of the
25th Anniversary of the Social
Science Research Building, held
at the University of Chicago until
tomorrow.
In line with the program's
theme, "Social Science as Science,"
Dean Willard C. Olson of the
School of Education is presenting
a paper on "Bio-Social Theory in
Human Development."

By TED FRIEDMAN
In Champaign the University of
Illinois Interfraternity Council de-
feated a resolution to repudiate
the philosophy of prejudicial se-
lection in the fraternity system.
The resolution was voted down
by all but five houses along with
another motion urging elimination
of all bias clauses by the fraterni-
ty chapters. Interfraternity Pres-
ident Claude Teagarden quotedj
from the 1947 Yearbook, saying,
"It is a long established rule of
law that no individual has an in-
herent right to membership in
any particular organization . . . If
you or I want to form a fraternity
whose membership shall be limit-
ed exclusively to bow-legged men,
it is our privilege to do so." The
defeated resolution denounced
"ethnic exclusion clauses or un-
written agreements as un-Ameri-

can, undemocratic and contrary
to the best interests of the stu-
dent body."

U. Conn. Outlaws Swearing
Drastic measures have been tak-
en to curb swearing at the Uni-
versity of Connecticut.
Any student under 21 reported
to the Office of Men's Affairs for
using "profane or vulgar lan-
guage" will be suspended.

Michigan State University hopes
to establish a branch at Grand
Rapids were shattered Thursday
by State Board of Agriculture
members Clark L. Brody and Fed-
erick H. Mueller.
Brody said he knows of no plans
to establish a branch of MSU any-
where and Mueller said he was
sure the talk does not reflect the
thinking of President Hannah.

By VERNON NAHRGANG
Many University students had
to put shotguns aside this year and
postpone hunting plans until an-
other season.
Bluebooks and similar obstacles
kept students home, even during
the "away" football game week-
ends, when the greatest number
of students were able to take to
the fields and woods.
Several did participate, how-
ever, in this year's pheasant hunt-
ing season. They had free din-
ners but, mostly, stories to tell.
Students Tell of Pheasant Hunting
Many of these stories are on the
students themselves. One hunter
tells of an experience° last month
when he was out looking for
pheasants with his dog.
"Suddenly," he related, "the dog
took off across the open field,
flushing three hens as he ran."
"Then he came to point, and I
ran like mad to catch up before
anything happened. But before I
could get to the spot, the pheasant
flapped its wings and flew up.
"The bird went almost straight
up and then toward me. I poited
my gun into the air and le go
with both barrels. Well, I missed
it, but . ."
"One That Got Away"
Another student tells of "the big
one that got away"-the biggest
bird he ever saw.
His dog pointed the bird out,
but when he saw it, he was un-
able to release the safety catch.
Those students who were not
even able to take a shot and miss

a bird had to be content with re-
lating the stories of their younger,
high-schooliage brothers.
Tales of Little Brothers
One non-hunter likes to tell
about his brother who gave up on
small game and decided to try
duck hunting. With three other
boys, he sat in a boat for two
hours until a formation of ducks
showed up..
Everyone in the boat took their
allowed number of shots, but the
birds kept going, and the boys
never saw another duck that day.
Although the small game sea-
son has ended for pheasants and
squirrels, many students are look-
ing forward to a little rabbit hunt-
ing during Christmas vacation,
hoping they'll have more luck
than the pheasant hunters.
