s , Tr AVW TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 151955 INION OPERA LINEUP: Taylor Men Wait Overnight for Tickets Ice Age Leaves Rock Reminders on Campus By VERNON NAHRGANG, Seventeen men took turns wait- ing in line almost 24 hours so South Quad houses would befirst to buy 446 Union Opera tickets yesterday morning. Working from one- to three- hour shifts, Taylor House men began their vigil at 9:45 a.m. Sun- day in front of the ticket office in the Union. They kept their place in line until the office opened at 8 a.m. yesterday. When the office did open, there was a long line waiting to pur- chase housing group blocks for the performances. In addition to the South Quadders, members from two fraternities waited in line overnight. Taylor House originated the idea in order to insure their get- ting seats for the Friday, Dec. 9 performance. This will give Taylorites, and other South Quadders, a big week- end that includes the . annual South Quad Christmas dance, Noel Moderne, Dec. 10. Taylor House President Marsh- all P. Badt, '57Ph., and Business Manager John A. Katherler, '58, organized the coup and served the last shift in order to be on hand with their order for 95 tickets. Although the line was short and composed of South Quad residents Sunday, it began to grow later that night. A little friendly rivalry prevail- ed when one of the fraternity representatives challenged the quadders to a poker game with first place in line as stakes. The challenge was refused. Empty Coke and candy mach- ines didn't help the spirits of the Collegel By TED FRIEDMAN A verbal war has broken out between the University of Wash- ington Daily and the Chewelah (Washington) Independent over loyalty oaths. The Chewelah weekly has called for the dismissal of two Washing- ton professors who are contesting the legality of the oaths, while the university daily insists that "they are American citizens try- ing to protect the rights guaran- teed them under the Constitution. T h e Chewelah Independent warns the university that come 1957, their budget may be slashed "if that is the type of student- thinkers we are spewing at our University." It denounces the professors as "rotten apples on the faculty who leave a sour taste in the mouths of the taxpayers who dig up their salaries." The daily answers that the pro- fessors' effort "is to preserve, not subvert, the republic's foundations. Not that we want Communists on this or any other faculty. By adopting the Marxist closed sys- tem of thought, a Communist places himself outside the com- munity of scholars." The edi- torial ends by saying, "For not creating 'student-thinkers' in its own image, (The Chewelah Inde- pendent) would cut off the Uni- versity at the pocketbook." "Wealthy people probably have just as much chance of being exe- cuted for murder as people with- out means," Dr. Rollin M. Perkins -Daily=Dick Gaskill LONG WAIT PAYS OFF-Taylor House is first in line as ticket sales open for this year's Union Opera, "Film Flam." Free School For Exiles I 5thX ear A unique university is marking its fifth anniversary this fall with the enrollment of 200 escapees from behind the Iron Curtain. The Free Europe University in Exile, founded in 1951 by a group of private American citizens, pro- vides education for scholastically qualified refugees. Through contributions f r o m America, the university is able to send approximately 200 students each year to universities all across western Europe-from London to Paris, from Geneva to Istanbul. Here the students continue their previously interrupted schooling and prepare for a life in the free world. Every year a seminar is held with students from Europe, South America and the United States. This year's seminar, held in Strasbourg, France, analyzed mod- ern communism. Aided by teach- ers and lecturers they discussed the relationship between the theory of communism and the ap- plication of this theory by the Soviets in their native homelands. Every student enrolled in the university must have escaped from Soviet - dominated country and must have a strong desire to lend his support to the fight against communism. The university carefully screens the applicants with an eye toward bolstering the free world's forces and educating the students to life in the West. IFC Ball Heads Central committee members for the 1956 IFC Ball which will be held May 16 have been announced by General Chairman Herb Schnei- der of Phi Sigma Delta. Heading the publicity committee will be Fred Schatz of Phi Sigma Delta. Ed Richter of Tau Kappa Epsilon will chairman the decora- tions committee. .Prowler PONTIAC, MICH.

"It might even happen," he said, "that the jury sympathizes with the penurious defendent." Perkins is an instructor in criminal law at the university. Regarding the possibility of miscarriage of justice, Perkins said, "It is one of the greatest tragedies we can think of to con- demn an innocent man. The death sentence may tend to introduce' delays and uncertainties leading to a failure to convict . . . If this is found to be the case, then we should abolish the death penalty." Linguistics Makes Major Contribution Linguistics, the country cousin of psychology, sociology, and an- thropology, said Prof. David L. Olmsted of the University of Cali- fornia, has finally been let of its closet and is now being allowed to make a major contribution to the studies of its relatives. In a speech yesterday,Prof. Olmsted commented that linguis- tics is no longer the humble ser- vant of the social sciences but has come into its own. The linguistic pebble has been polished into a gen invaluable in tracing the movement of people in history. Olmsted spoke specifically about the pre-historic problems of the origin of the Indians in North America, and the historic problem of Afro-Americans. The study of dialects, continued the anthropologist, has helped to advance the Bearing Straits hy- pothesis that American Indians had Asiatic ancestors, and shed light on the origin of Negroes liv- ing in various cultures throughout the Americas. Olmsted went on to say that documents bearing on slaves are of little use because they are often incomplete. In Cuba all re- cords of slavery have been de- stroyed. Though it was a noble gesture, its effect was a set-back in the study of a culture. We know, however, the Califor- nia professor said, that the first African slaves were brought to Haitai in 1502. From that time until the end of the 18th century when slavery experienced its gold- en age various area in Africa were favorite picking places for slave traders. Olmsted is an assistant professor of anthropology at the University of California. FRMER'9S MRKET troit Street Open Wednesday and Saturday for Farm-Fresh Fruits, Vegetables, Poultry and Eggs Subscribe to The Michigan Daily Constant reminders of the ice age, which left its mark on the earth's surface, stand along the Mall side of the Natural Science Building. Prof. Edwin N. Goddard and Prof. Russell C. Hussey of the geology department explained how the rock formations came into ex- istence. The date the University acquired them is uncertain. Both Prof. God- dard and Prof. Hussey believe it to be more than 30 years ago. The largest one, which looks like a bit of protoplasm, was dug from the Sibley Quarry in Trenton and brought to the University. The rock itself is gray limestone and contains both coral fossils and marks made by glaciers passing over it in three different direc- tions. Boulder Contains Dikes Standing to the right side of the entrance door is 'a granite boulder which has been highly polished by someone, possibly be- fore it appeared on campus. It contains two pigmatite dikes, one crossing the other. These dikes were caused by coarse granite and quartz which "invaded" the rock in a molten (hot liquid) condition. At the left side of the door can be seen a rock which looks like a huge piece of clay covered with stones and dirt. This is a "con- glomerate," made of gravel com- pounded into one rock. This par- ticular formation contains bits of native copper of the type mined at Calumet and Prof. Goddard be- lieves, "probably came from that region." The other rocks against the building are both sandstones. One is a surface rock (obtained near the surface of the water) with readily distinguishable "ripple Conference On Enrollment Issue Discussion topics for the Stu- dent-Faculty-Administration Con- ference Dec. 9 were decided yes- terday by the Union Relations Committee. The general theme of the con- ference will be "What are the im- plications of increased enrollment at the University?" The counsel- ing program, physical facilities, re- lation of extra-curricular activities to the academic and admissions problems in a period of increasing enrollment are the four specific subjects. The conference is planned as a means of interchanging ideas be- tween the three participating groups. General meetings will pre- cede and follow the discussion meetings.

These ripples are even and smooth, but the surface is slowly peeling (a slight eroding as though someone were chipping away at the rock with a chisel). Prof. Goddard believes that it would take hundreds of years be- fore this constant eroding had any effect on the stone's appearance. 'K' Embedded In Rock The other sandstone is probably the most interesting of all in that it has a "K" embedded in its sur- face. This "fucoidal" as it is called is thought to have been made by an old branch of a tree, mud filling the cracks or an ani- mal burrow. According to Prof. Hussey the word "fucoidal" is applied when there is no other known name for a formation of this type. There are many more of these million-year-old examples of rock formations here on campus, but those near the Natural' Science building seem to draw the most attention and questions. s SAVE DO LLA RS!
