ImM SPORTILIGHT
.. by stere hedpern
ARE YOU AN ardent curling fan?
Or do your interests lie in hai-alai, bocci or fencing? If you are
among those who deem participation in these sports a dire necessity
then you will be sadly disappointed in Michigan's intramurals pro-
gram-for these are among the few sporots not listed on the mam-
moth 36-sport I-M schedule.
Considered by man to offer the finest intramural program in the
entire country, the University makes it possible for students to com-
pete in a wide variety of sports-from football to codeball, from soft-
ball to wrestling.
Center for Michigan's I-M activity is the Sports Building. The
huge structure on Hoover Street was the first building of its kind on
a college campus, and is a mecca for sports enthusiasts, even those
who don't particularly wish to compete in organized games. Twenty
different sports are offered, at no cost, -to the student. The building
is open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on week days and eight to noon on
Saturdays. It will be open nights starting sometime in October, and
also on Saturday afternoons after the end of the football season.
Co-recreational sessions, long a popular feature, will again take
place Friday nights, and will probably begin soon after the fall se-
mester gets under way. Volleyball and badminton usually reign popu-
lar with the mixed groups.
AlCampus Tornaments. . .
SEVERAL ALL-CAMPUS/ tournaments will take place during the
school year. Individual competition is the keynote in these events,
and tennis, golf, handball and horseshoes are but a few of the sports
listed in this category.
You needn't be interested in competing in a sport in order to
take advantage of the Sports Building's varied facilities. The paddle-
ball, handball, and basketball courts (to name a few) are always at
the Michigan student's disposal. Season lockers may be rented at the
intramural offices at reasonable rates. For further information about
the facilities you may contact Earl Riskey, director of the Intramural
Sports Program. The I-M booklet, given out during orientation week,
may also answer some of your questions.
The regular program of competition will begin soon after classes
begin when the touch football season gets under way. As in most other
I-M sports, the grid activity will be divided into four separate leagues:
residence hall, social fraternity, professional fraternity and inde-
pendent. In many of the sports the leagues are subdivided into divi-
sions, with the winner in each division entering the first-place play-
offs, the runner-ups playing in the second-place playoffs, and so on.
A complex but effective scoring system is utilized because of this pro-
cedure.
Teams in each of the four major divisions vie for top honors
in their leagues, and trophies are awarded for the best all-year per-
formances. Cups are also given to winners in each of the individual
sports and can be retired if won by one team three times.
New Fraternity Plan,...
A NEW INNOVATION will probably go into effect this year in the
social fraternity division. One sore spot in this division has been
the inability of smaller houses to field teams in the three major
sports-touch football, basketball and softball-and also, the fact
that smaller fraternities seldom walk off with trophies in any sport.
Under the change, these houses would be allowed to double up for
the major sports and participate in a separate league. Points are to
be awarded as in regular loop play, and winners will receive trophies.
The points obtained in this "little league," or whatever it will be
called, will be added to the regular social fraternity tally sheet. The
proposal, if put into effect, would probably create more interest in
the I-M program by stimulating more individuals to participate.
Next on the intramural slate after football is an all-campus ten-
nis singles tournament, which begins approximately the second or
third week of school. Anyone is eligible, but entries must be sub-
mitted to the Sports Building within the required time.
The fall program continues with the residence halls track meet
in October, closely followed by the social fraternity track meet. Cross
country makes its bow in the latter part of October with a combined
all-campus meet.
The schedule becomes crowded when winter comes. Indoor sports,
of course, become quite popular then. A complete listing of these
sports may be obtained from the various group athletic directors.

POWER AND
CONTROL
OF S.G.C.
As the elected student govern-
ment of the University of Michi-
gan, the functions of the Student
Government Council are many
and varied.
SGC has the power to recognize
any new campus organization, to
withdraw recognition from estab-
lished campus organizations, or to
reactivate groups that have left
the campus and wish to return.
SGC must grant or deny approv-
al for any student sponsored activ-
ity. The Council also has the re-
sponsibility of making rules gov-
erning the eligibilit of students
participating in extra-curricular
activities, aside from intercolle-
giate athletics, according to the
grade standards. It is also the task
of SGC to coordinate and delegate
student activities to be carried on
by the various recognized campus
groups, to originate student proj-
ects, and to voice the campus opin-
ion.
These powers were granted to
SGC by the Regents last Decem-
ber. SGC is free to work out its
own operating policies, and how
well these functions will be carried
out depends upon the cooperation
of the student body. The students
must not forget that SGC is repre-
senting them.
Public Relations
and Elections
Committee
To facilitate its working, the
Public Relations and Elections
Committee is divided into three
subcommittees. The first of these
is Public Relations, itself. This sec-
tion will attempt to keep the cam-
pus informed as to what is going
on in the SGC, to orient new stu-
dents to student government at
the University, and to solicit stu-
dent opinion when the need arises.
The second section is Publicity.
This committee will set up a
speakers bureau to inform the
campus on specific subjects, collect
ideas inntheir field from other
schools in the Big Ten. At the
present time they have begun com-
position of a booklet describing
SGC, and plans are n progress for
a scrapbook to preserve the events
in the history of SGC.
The third section is Elections; it
has recently begun a study of
election procedure, with hopes of
improving all campus elections.
They will train their personnel to
run the elections, assuming gen-
eral responsibility for them.
As a conclusion of this semes-
ter's work, the committee is pre-
senting this report to you, the stu-
dent body.
May 27, 1955
To: The Students
As the semester closes, the Stu-
dent Government Council takes
pride in presenting today's report
to the campus. The optimism that
has characterized the SGC plan
since its inception has not dimin-
ished. One reason for this is the
agreement on the 'fundamental
principles underlying Michigan's
new student government.
First, we believe that the goal of
SGC should be the promotion and
preservation of the cudoms, tra-
ditions, and educational standards
of the University of Michigan. The
only sound basis for student gov-
ernment is that by representing
student opinion, it can serve to
promote and help formulate Uni-
versity policy, in an academic
community composed of students,
faculty, administration, and civic
interests.
Secondly, our principle of op-
eration is to cooperate not com-
pete, with constituted authority.
We believe that by working with
the University and not apart from
it, we can serve in achieving those
goals most beneficial to Michigan.
Looking to the future, three im-
portant areas concern the Council.
Action on two of these has already
been initiated. First is a study of
the present driving regulations,
and second a similar study of the
University h o u s i n g situation.
These are being undertaken by
joint committees representing stu-
dent, faculty, administration and
civic elements. Thirdly, we believe
that the general area of student
conduct requires a critical re-ex-
amination of University regula-
tions and the means for their en-
forcement.
On behalf of the Council, I wish
to thank all those members of the
University community who have

Campus Affairs
Committee
The Campus Affairs Committee
was organized on March 23, 1955,
by motion of the Student Govern-
ment Council. The committee, un-
der the chairmanship of Joel
Tauber, has as its general obliga-
tion, the initiation of projects, and
the service of more immediate
needs of the student body. Gener-
ally speaking, it will cover prob-
lems which are not under the jur-
isdiction of either the Public Re-
lations Committee, or the Human
and International Welfare Com-
mittee. It is going to be a campus
watchdog, continually keeping an
eye open for possible ways to im-
prove student life on campus.
Some of the projects which the
committee is contemplating for
the future are: pre-registration,
something which has long been
discussed, and the formation of a
Department of Religion for L.S.
and A. Pep Rallies, faculty evalu4
ation, and the structure of the ad-
ministrative wing also fall under
the jurisdiction of this commit-
tee. Plans are in progress for an
activities booklet, a lecture com-
mittee, and the expansion iof the _
athletic departments. The Campus
Affairs Committee will run the
Student Book Exchange, and the
Bucket Drive.
Human and
International
Relations
Committee
One of the most important func-
tions of the Human and Interna-
tional Relations Committee is to
work closely with the Internation-
al Student Association in coordi-
nating an improved foreign stu-
dent program. This will include
acquainting foreign students with
university life, helping them to
find housing, guidance in regis-
tion program, and a questionnaire
to discover their interests in
American students, and student
activities at the university.
In working with the new Uni-
versity Housing Committee, the
anti -discrimination board, and
numerous Ann Arbor women's
groups the committee hopes to
improve upon the present discrim-
ination, and poor housing facili-
ties for foreign students.
A travel service program will be
set up for students interested in
attending foreign universities.
This will include the academic
offerings of foreign universities
and a list of the foreign univer-
sity scholarships available to uni-
versity students.
The present Free University of
Berlin program will be expanded
to include a girl and a professor
as well as a male student. Net
fall the South and East Quad-
rangles are housing a German stu-
dent, and the IFC is expected to
house him in the spring.
The work of this committee will
be vital in the promotion of bet-
ter relation and understanding be-
tween American and foreign st-
dents at the university. People who
are interested in this field are in-
vited to participate on the Hu-
man and International Relations
Committee starting early next fall.
Accomplishments of S.G.C.
sively in the Tiformation, the
Maize and Blue had played an un-
nspiring game. There were few
bright spots and the questions still
remained unanswered.
But the roses started to sprout
after the Iowa victory . and kept
on getting bigger for a few weeks.
After the Evashevsik crew had
been turned back, Michigan de-
feated Northwestern, 7-0, and Min-
nesota, 34-0.
Beneath Evanston's dark skies,
Michigan played very poorly but
still managed to win. The only
touchdown in the dull game was
scored in the second period when
Danny Cline plunged over from the
one-yard line. The score capped a
drive that started when Ed Meads
recovered a Wildcat fumble on the
Northwestern 24-yard stripe.
Gophers Different
Against Minnesota, however, it
was an entirely different story.
Scoring in every quarter, the Maize
and Blue dominated the game from
the opening kickoff until the clos-
ing seconds to completely stun a
previously unbeaten and favored
Gopher eleven. Michigan went
around, through and over the Min-
nesota line with amazing success
while on defense the hard-harging
Gopher backs were stopped dead in
their tracks.
Rose Bowl fever reached new
heights in Ann Arbor. Michigan
held a 3-0 record in conference
play and was ranked 11th in the
nation by the Associate Press. Next
on the schedule was a weak Indi-
ana squad. A sure win .. .
But the Hoosiers gave the Wol-
verines a taste of its own medicine
as the invaders upse the Maize and
Blue, 13-9. Florian Helinski held
the spotlight before 48,502 fans
who shivered in Helinski held the
spotlight before 48,502 fans who
shivered in the bitter cold weath-
er. Helinski, besides snaring three
Michigan passes, all within his own
20-yard line, scored one touch-
down, passed for the other, kick-
ed the extra point, and directed
the Indiana attack.
Fighting Heart
Roaring mad, the Maize and
Blue bounced back to topple Illi-
nois, 14-7. The hard-fought victory
was the first that Michigan had
been able to gain over Ray Elliot's
men since 1949. The deciding
touchdown was scored with less
than,30 seconds remaining in the
first half. Michigan had moved 68
yards in five plays and the ball
rested on the Illinois 21-yard line.
The Wolverines pulled the old
transcontinental play out of its
bag of tricks and scored, Cline
passing to Maddock who stepped
into the end-zone all alone.
The roses bloomed again. After
the victory over the Spartans the
following week plans for the sojurn
Go California were tentatively plan-
ned. Only the Buckeyes stood in
Michigan's way ..-.
(Compiled from the minutes of the
first ten meetings of the SGC)
March 18, 1955: The first meeting
of the SGC was held in the
Michigan Union. Four standing
committees, the Committee on
Student Affairs, The University
Housing Committee, Constitu-
tions Committee, and the Cal-
endaring Committee, were creat-
ed.
A motion was passed granting
Eskasia, local sorority, status as
the Alpha Mu Chapter of Sig-
ma Kappa sorority. The campus
chapter of the national sorority
has been inactive for many
years.

March 23, 1955: The Cinema Guild
Board submitted a proposal
Recommending that the dine-
ma Guild function be responsible
to the SGC with the chairman
and treasurer being selected by
the SGC from the campus at
large. The proposal was accept-
ed by the SGC.
March 25, 1955: October 29 was
established as the date for the
Homecoming Dance. It was also
decided that the SGC have con-
trol of dispersal of profits from
the Homecoming Dance and
that the SGC delegate sponsor-
ship of the dance to a recog-
nized campus organization which
will submit a petition for such
sponsorship, before April 18, the
final choice being made by the
SGC.
Tentative approval was grant-
ed to calendar an Olympic
Dance, planned for October 8,
1955, to be co-sponsored by the
Michigan Union and Sigma Al-
pha Mu, profits to go toward
payment of expenses of U.S. ath-
letes competing in' the 1956
Olympics.
The SGC elected to endorse
the Books for Asia Drive and
to establish an administrative
committee to initiate arrange-
ments for the drive.

Student Affairs of the Univers-
ity to appoint a committee to
study the present student driv-
ing regulation for the purpose of
recommending modifications of
the regulation that would bring
it more in line with present stu-
dent desires. The SGC suggest-
ed that the committee take par-
ticular note of the following
points :
1. Student driving regulations
and how they are working at
comparable institutions.
2. The parking problem in the
campus area.
3. The Student Legislature brief
submitted to the Regents two
years ago.

May 4, 1955: The SGC elected to
write a letter to the State De-
partment requesting that the
eleven Soviet student editors
be allowed to enter the United
States. The basis for this recom-
mendation being that "The SGC
believes that any barriers to per-
sonal contact on an internation-
al level are detrimental to ani
understanding among nations
and that the Departments of
State and Justice should elimi-
nate such barriers whenever
they + can."
May 11, 1955: The Activities Cal-
endar for 1955-56 was accepted
as presented by Miss Yates, in-
cluding the assignment of six
One o'clock closing hour nights

Miss Diana Hewitt joined the
council to report on the activi-
ties of the Anti-Discrimination
Board. The board, established to
work actively for the removal of
discrimination in the serving
and hiring of students in the
Ann Arbor business community.
Miss Hewitt requested an ap-
propriation of $25 which may be
used to finance test cases when
actual purchases of merchan-
dise must be made to verify a
.reported discriminatory action.
May 12, 1955: Hank Berliner, SGC
president, began making week-
ly reports to the campus over
radio station WHRV.
THE FUTURE OF
In the future S.G.C. will handle
current problems of students'
questions. The three most impor-
tant areas in which S.G.C. will op-
erate are: housing, driving regula-
tions, and student conduct. At
present there are two committees
in S.G.C. which are evaluating
these problems; one is the Housing
Study Committee and the other
is the Driving Regulations Study
Committee. The Housing Study
Committee'will review housing reg-
ulations, and will work with esti-
mates of future enrollment to for-
mulate methods of lessening the
housing shortage. The Driving
Regulations S t u d y Committee,
composed of townspeople, faculty,
administration, and students, will
consider all viewpoints concerning
driving at the University. Before
the spring semester is completed,
S.G.C. hopes to set up a commit-
tee to consider student conduct.
Principally, this committee will de-
fine conduct unbecoming to a stu-
dent. The object of S.G.C.'s con-
cern here, is to develop an organi-
zation for the investigation of
student conduct and morals.
S.G.C. proposes to develop a
more complete form of integra-
tion with the International Cen-
the duties of these students
through a process of reorganiza-
tion of the various committees.
This will be prefaced by an in-
vestigation of the time involved
in work on these committees.
At present S.G.C. is operating on
a trial program for a two-year pe-
riod, so it will set up no constitu-
tion, but will continue to operate
on a procedural program.
Another project is to investigate
possible coordination of the activi-
ties of various'"student clubs with
the campus. This would provide
these organizations, such as the
Sailing Club and the Chess Club,
with the recognition they deserve.
Continued operation of the Cin-
ema Guild and the Student Book
Exchange are definite plans for
next fall, along with the distri-
bution of football tickets.
As a trial organization, S.G.C.
has made a good start and has
great potential for a long and ac-
tive existence. The groundwork
has been well-laid, and, with full
support from the student body,
the Student Government Council
will satisfy the very real needs of
serving the students and express-
ing their opinions in the years to
come.
