Does University Offer Intellectual Challenge? See Page 4 Y Latest Deadline in the State :4Iaii4p PARTLY CLOUDY, SHOWERS I C-4v*gr T A d, in VOL. LXVI, No. 44 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1955 sAR c as I . Q, <> 1 An Editorial... There have been smiles the last few days as SGC public relations people estimated 9,000 votes for today and tomorrow's Student Government Council election. Such a vote would smash even the records set in the' late 1940's and would far surpass ballot totals in SL elections of recent years. Although SGC might be expressing more idealism than realism in its hopes for the election there is no reason why students shouldn't justify the optimism this year. Regardless of opinion concerning SGC's accomplish- ments during the past seven months, there is little controversy over University students' desire for a strong student government. Student support reflected in student ballots at, election time helps assure progress to this goal. Only students can elect the good representa- tives necessary to make inroads on the many problems facing the student body today. Problems from increasing enrollment, the fraternity and sorority rushing situation, the new driving ban pro- posal will all be before SGC in the next few months and capable student representation is imperative if there is to be real student voice in the areas.J Often in the past students excused themselves from the polls because they were not familiar with the lengthy slate of candidates. This time the problem doesn't ex- ist. A look at Sunday's Daily will be enough to familiarize students with the 12 candidates competing for the five SGC positions. A study of the platforms will be well spent time if there is rightful interest in student government. Student governments at the University have long been plagued with members elected by support of one or two housing units on campus. With only five positions open, candidates will need much more support today and tomorrow to win seats on SGC. The good candidates, the ones students want to make student government a potent force at the University, need the support of the entire student body at today's and tomorrow's elections. -The Senior Editors Y Admissions Controversy Divides UN Russia Backing Outer Mongolia UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (P) - Russian sponsorship of Outer Mon- golia's claim to a seat in the Unit- ed Nations split the West yesterday and threatened to block admission of 17 other countries into the world body. Britain and the Soviet Union said they were ready to support the admission of all 18 new mem- bers, but the United States stood firm against Soviet-backed Outer Mongolia. A British spokesman said the qualifications of Outer Mongolia were open to doubt, but that Brit- ain would agree to accept its ad- mission if this would break the nine-year deadlock in the admis- sion of new members. A Soviet delegation spokesman insisted Russia would not agree to admit any of the 18 applicants un- less Outer Mongolia were included. Canada's Paul Martin was re- ported ready to circulate a reso- lution calling formally for the ap- proval of the 18 applicants, which include five Soviet bloc countries and. 13 prq-Western or neutral countries. A British spokesman issued a statement saying "we are support- ing the Canadian government's ef- forts to break the deadlock over the admission of new members to the United Nations. To this end we are ready to acquiesce in the admission of all 18 outstanding applicants, even if the qualifications of some of them are open to doubt. Among the latter is especially Outer Mongolia. "We would, however, if this re- sulted in breaking the deadlock, even be prepared to acquiesce in the admission of Outer Mongolia. Ike Welcomed In Gettysburg GETTYSBURG, Pa. (/P)-Presi- dent and Mrs. Dwight D. Eisen- hower returned to Gettysburg yesterday and a heart tingling home-coming welcome from "the people who are going to be our neighbors, God willing." Thousands of them turned out in historic Lincoln Square, jam- ming the streets, perching on bal- conies and in windows, crowding' onto roof tops. Burgessman William G. Weaver told the Chief Executive and First Lady "how glad and happy we are that you have made Gettys- burg your home." His daughter, Patricia, 13, handed Mrs. Eisen- hower - 59 yesterday, a bouquet of brilliant red rose.. -Daily-Dick Gaskill STUDENT GOVERNMENT COUNCIL has been running a campaign to get students to vote. Re- minderg, such as signs, posters and banners, have been placed at strategic spots on campus. The Council hopes to'turn out a record vote in the balloting which begins today and continues through tomorrow. Author Hits False Race Ideo logies A dominant concept that the Negro is inferior and an older one that he is not even human made" possible the lynching of Emmett Till in Mississippi, Herbert Apthe- ker said last night. Speaking to more than 20 people, mostly students, at a gath- ering sponsored by the Ann Arbor Youth League, Aptheker said it was these same concepts, rooted in American history, that caused the acquittal of the accused murder- ers and the refusal of a grand jury to indict them on kidnap charges. "These concepts are ideological rationalizations for a capitalistic economic and social system," the Marxist writer declared. The rul- ing class inr American capitalism has always exploited the Negro, he added. It has been this exploitation, he claimed, that has helped to make American capitalism strong., And the ruling class maintains Jim Crowism, he said, not by social custom, but by law. He insisted that the Negroes would someday be liberated, but not without the help from outside themselves. "The first step," he said, "is for the American people to insist that the United States Constitu- tion be enforced." He suggested, also, federal legislation against Jim Crowism. Holdups Net, Thieves $477 Two lone, pistol-carrying gun- men made hauls of $262 and $185 in market and theater holdups Saturday and Sunday nights. First of the two robberies took place about 8 p.m. Saturday in a grocery store at W. Liberty St. and Stadium Blvd. The dark- codplexioned, scar-faced bandit passed 'a note to Mrs: Nancy Wright, cashier, demanding all her money. Although the preoccupied man- ager of the store was nearby, Mrs. Wright was forced to scoop $262 into a paper bag and give it to the gunman. First Holdup in 20 Months This was the first holdup in the immediate Ann Arbor area in more than 20 months. Second robbery of the weekend occurred Sunday evening at the State Theater. The gunman, not the same man, thrust a pistol into the ticket seller's cage and de- manded money. The robber, a tall man in a red and green lumber jacket, grabbed $185, turned, and got away on foot. Miss Bessie Botchen, the ticket seller, ran out yelling of the holdup. Only One Witness At the grocery store, another clerk watched the holdup, afraid to call out for fear that someone might be hurt. There were no witnesses to the theater holdup, although one University student saw the thief running away. Sheriff and police deputies have been unable to find any trace of the holdup men.

T1 newly elected members will sit on!- High Court' Invalidates Racial Law WASHINGTON (P) - The Su- preme Court yesterday doomed an Oklahoma law requiring Negro candidates for public office to be identified as such, but put off rul- ing on state bans on interracial marriage. In the Oklahoma case, the court refused to interfere with a decision of 'the United States Court of Ap- peals at Denver holding the ballot law unconstitutional. The appellate court said it was a denial of equality of treatment to require the lable "Negro." The appellate court said this was "a direct discrimination be- tween members of the Negro race and members of the white, yellow, and other races, all embraced in the phrase 'white race.'

Split Causes Council Head To Resign The President Council Meeting of the Big Ten Students Associa- tion, held Friday and Saturday at Michigan State University saw the resignation of the Association's Executive Director, Roger Auges- tina. Augestina's resignation was brought about by a clashing of concepts as to what the associa- tion's purpose should be. Nine of the Big Ten Council Presidents maintained that the sole purpose of the council was to get ideas about practices of the other schools. Augestina believed the organiza- tion could, and should be used for the betterment and advantage of the individual schools. In order to avoid further diffi- culty on the matter the council accepted the following amend- ment to their Constitution: "Article two--The purpose of the Council shall be toprovide mutual assistance through discussin in meeting at Northwestern. Bleha and Assembly Association president Jeanette Grimm, '56, at- tended the conference held in Ev- anston last weekend. Medium of Exchange "The Big Ten headquarters school will provide a medium for exchange of information between Big Ten schools," Bleha said. Bleha claimed an attempt will be made to secure a room in the new Student Activities Building if the University is chosen as head- quarters school. "We'd like to include plans for a permanent room in the Student Activities Building in the brief we send Big Ten schools supporting our bid," Bleha noted. Due Before Christmas Briefs from Indiana and the University will be sent in before Christmas. Main topic of the three-day con- ference was the setting up of an official Residence Halls Presidents' Council. Work on the Residence Halls charter, Bleha said, was largely devoted to establishing a Presi- dents' Council that would' meet semi-annually and provide conti- nuity for the Residence Halls Con- ference held each Spring. Residence Halls Conference this __ Y ITALIAN, FLAVORED COMEDY: Wigs, Gondolas Adorn Operetta: 'Gondoliers' By DONNA HANSON Gilbert and Sullivan Society will present its first operetta of the year, "The Goldoliers" tomorrow in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre. Complete with white wigs and gondolas, the operetta is one of the most colorful and gay operettas that the English composers have written. Injecting an Italian flavor as opposed to his usual English background, Sullivan captured the gaity and color of Italy. The plot is as complicated as it is hilarious. The Duke and Duchess of Plaza-Toro come to Venice to discover which of the two twin gondoliers is the new King of Baratoria. He had been stolen away in infancy by the -Grand Inquisitor and entrusted to a Venetian goldolier shortly after having married their daughter, Casilda. I The gondoliers, not knowing this, have just married two local girls. No one knows who is who anyway, so they reign jointly. The musical director of "The Gondoliers" is Robert Brandzel, '57SM, while Clarence Stephenson directs the dramatics. According to Stephenson, the number of leads in "The Gondo- essays. The other, titled 'Compos- ers' Forum' is by, R. K. Burdette, grad., and is an introduction to five works performed this year and written by student composers in the University music school. Poets represented in the maga- zine are Curt Shellman, '56; James Camp, '55; and Bernard Strempek, R. E. Fitch and Judson McGehee, Grads. Camp was a winner of a sum- mer Hopwood Award for poetry last year, and he won a major prize in the same field this year. McGehee has won both poetry and short story awards at Stanford University. Included in this issue is a paint- ing by Nancy Willard, '58, who last year won Hopwood Awards for freshman essay, freshman poetry, and another minor award for poetry.
