The Army Corps of Engineers, who designed the plans, will let contracts for the $326,000 project within the next few weeks. Preliminary work will begin this winter and full scale operations will be carried out next summer. The route originally was opened up by the War Department in 1876. It runs from Cheboygan up the Cheboygan River to Mullett Lake, through to Indian River to Burt Lake, up the Crooked River to Crooked Lake and across Crooked Lake to Conway, a small village about three miles inland from little traverse bay. D e c a d e s ago, flat-bottomed steamers cruised the 35-m i1 e course. But the route became filled with sand bars and decayed pilings, and erosion-caused hair- pin turns have further cut down navigability. Plans call for dredging the en- tire route to a minimum depth of five feet and width of 30 feet. Many of the treacherous turns will be straightened out and several jetties will be constructed to con- trol the amount and depth of sand deposits. Fred B. Lif ton, acting director of the Waterways Commission, said engineering problems make a further cut from Conway to Little Traverse Bay prohibitively costly, but pleasure boats could be transferred across land to Lake Michigan in a matter of minutes. Lifton said the commission is considering constructing numerous parks along the route. DIAL 2-2513 -MICH AK Mat.

Times Doors Open at 12:45 November is the month set for breaking ground for the new Stu- dent Activities Bldg. Costing $1,750,000,the building will be on the corner of Maynard and Jefferson, just south of the Student Publications Bldg. Architect's plans for the build- ing are nearing completion and blueprints will be sent to the contractors for bids October 1, with bids due December 1. To Finish in November, '56 With the completion date set for about November, 1956, cam- pus organizations are looking for- ward to new and larger offices and work sections for their re- spective groups. Built on three levels, the build- ing will contain offices on the first floor for the major student activities. These include Student Government Council, Panhellenic, Interfraternity Council, Inter- House Council and Assembly As- sociation. The Dean of Women's offices and the Building Administration Committee office will also be on the first floor. The Administration Committee will deal with alloca- tion of workshops, smaller offices and facilities of the building. Smaller Offices on Second Floor On the second floor will be the smaller offices of the Glee Club, Wolverine Club, International Students Association, Alpha Phi Omega and other similar student activities. The Dean of Men's offi- ces will also be housed on the second floor. Large meeting rooms, Joint Judiciary headquarters and pro- jection rooms will make up the third floor. In the basement of the new building the Student Book Ex- change and the .Art Print Loan Collection will have their perma- nent offices. Student files and a mimeographing room will also be housed here. Workshop for Student Use The workshop will include areas for making props for stu- dent productions, paint spraying rooms, tool storage rooms, car- pentry shop, and a sewing room. A receiving area, back terrace, and employees' lounge for the dean's offices constitute the re- mainder of the building.

It will be built on a 67-acre tract at the southwest corner of Southfield Road and Rotunda Drive in Dearborn, a short dist- ance from the big Ford Rouge Plant and other company instal- lations. It also will be near Ford's skyscraper general office building now under construction at -South- field and Michigan Avenue. The Ford Division office build- ing will have what is known archi- tecturally as a "floating design"- the first level recessed 12 feet in- side the upper four floors to per- mit a weather-protected walkway on all four sides. SITE BEING CLEARED FOR NEW STUDENT ACTVITIES BUILDING AEC Reports Atomic Blast Set by USSR WASHINGTON(P) The Atomic Energy Commission reported yest- erday the Russians have set off another nuclear explosion, "in- dicating a continuation of their tests of nuclear weapons." Here is the text of the announ- cement: "Lewis L. Strauss, chairman of the U. S. Atomic Energy Commis- sion, stated yesterday that an- other Soviet nuclear explosion had occurred in recent days, indicat- ing a continuation of their tests of nuclear weapons. "Further announcements con- cerning the Soviet test series will be made only if some information of particular interest develops." Russian Weapons Only Friday; Gen. Thomas White, vice cheif of the Air Force, told a Pentagon gathering of in- dustrial, business and professional leaders that the Russions are per- fecting new atomic weapons and guided missiles. The Soviets are carrying out an- other nuclear test, White said, "right after the summit confer- ence at Geneva" on peace. Last Aug. 4 the AEC disclosed that Rus- sia had resumed the testing of nuclear weapons. The announce- ment then said that the tests began "within the past few days" and "this may mean the begin- ning of a new test series." I-Hop Committee A meeting will be held for girls interested in working on either decorations or tickets committees for I-Hop at 3 p.m. Tuesday in the Michigan League. I-Hop publicity committee will meet at 4 p.M. tomorrow in the League. ibility of the new building was made up of the Deans of Men and Women, James A. Lewis of the Office of Student Affairs, Uni- versity architect Lynn W. Fry, J. Swanson, building architect, rep- resentatives of University Vice- President Wilbur K. Pierpont's of- fice and the student representa- tive, Richard Good, '56. The Board of Regents accepted the preliminary plans and, blue- prints at its July meeting. Condemnation in Progress Condemnation proceedings are still in progress but, according to Good, these will not hold up the start of construction. He added that the new building will be fl- nanced from the general Univer- sity fund and that no specific ap- propriation has been made by the State Legislature. Problems such as light, loca- tion, amount of space to be al- loted various groups, type of con- struction, and necessary facili- ties all were given serious consid- eration by the committee accord- ing to Good. Holding 56,000 square feet for student offices and meeting rooms, the new building will ease the overcrowded conditions that or- ganizations have had to contend with in their present locations. Provision for additions to the building has been planned for so that when needed, necessary ad- ditions can be easily made. also TOM & JERRY "Designs on Jerry" Sororities May Soon Join FBA, Campus Leaders Air Views At NSA Summer Convention - 1 I DAY AND EVENING SCHOOL CLASSES NOW FORMING Practical training for office positions, at a saving in time and money.

Started Last Year FBA was started at the Univer- sity last year after several years of frustration and failure. In es- sence it is a cooperative buying plan that enables fraternities to save money by buying in bulk. Savings now average more than 10 per cent and it is conceivable they will mount to as high as 25 per cent. All canned products and some paper products are handled by FBA. Present plans call for expan-1 sion into practically every area of merchandise. Originally inititated by IFC, FBA plans to become completely independent as soon as possible. In addition to recognition as a student group by Student Govern- ment Council, the Association will be incorporated under the laws of Michigan. Harry Lunn, '54, former Daily Managing Editor, presided over the National Student Association Con- gress held in Minneapolis, August 21-31. In preparation for the general theme of the Congress which dealt with the aims of the educational community in the United States today and the position of student government in making students realize these aims, Lunn worked closely with educational organiza- tion during the past year. Made up of student government representatives, from member schools, the Congress offered cam- pus leaders a chance to exchange and clarify ideas. Accompany SGC Members James H. Robertson, Assistant Dean of the literary college, James A. Lewis, Vice-President for Stu- dent Affairs, James M. Davis, di- rector of the International Center, and Mrs. Ruth Callahan of the Office of Student Affairs accom- panied StudentGovernment Coun- cil representatives to the Congress.

Congress Passes Code One of the main items passed by the Congress was the Model Educational Practices Standards, which states that '"while it is recognized that some of the un- democratic practices in higher ed- ucation have their roots in history, every effort should be made to change those practices where they are incompatible with democratic principles." The code continues to say that the NSA will seek to secure and maintain equal rights for all people and secure equal opportunities for education at all levels. Covering admissions to colleges, college employment policies, schol- arships, grants and loans, class- room procedures, student teacher training, restrictive clauses in stu- dent social organizations and cam- pus housing, the code outlines what the NSA Congress members felt were fairest measures any school can offer students. Voting Age Discussed Another area of interest con- cerned a resolution calling for, sup- port of the 18-year-old vote. Hank Berliner, '56, SGC president drew up this resolution as part of his job on the Legislative Activity Sub- committee. Only nine votes de- feated the question. Donna Netzer, '56, SGC vice- president, cited the opportunity the Congress offers not only to exchange views on similar prob- lems with other schools, but the help a member can obtain on a problem from representatives whose schools have solved this same problem. Delegates Lead Talks Michigan delegates did their part in leading discussions. Tau- ber chaired the subcommission- dealing with internal organization of administration of schools. Dave Baad, '56, Daily Managing Editor led the Student Press Sub- commission in which over 30 col- lege newspapers met to discuss issues facing them on their separ- ate campuses. Berliner took part in the Student Body President's Conference which attempted to instill and bring out the obligation of the student gov- ernment president to his govern- ment and the college.. The SGC President also was acting vice-chairman of the Mich- igan Region of the National Exec- utive Commission which served as the steering body for the NSA.
