Reorganized Italian Club
Wins Student Approval

SURVEY COMPLETED:
No Buying Change Likely,
Research Center Reports

NY Decision

'By ANN LIII
If there is plenty of initiative
and a group of students work hard
enough, the results are usually
well worth the effort.
The newly reorganized Italian
club is an example of such initia-
tive and work. Because students
last semester wanted to reorganize
a group for those interested in
Italian, "secretary reports yellow
with age" were examined and used
as a guide for the reinvigoration
of the present Il Circolo Italiano,
Prof. Louis Tenenbaum of the ro-
mance languages department said.
"With the exception of a brief
live session during World War II,
there hasn't been an Italian club
at the University since the early
30's," he continued.
Interesting programs are high
on the list of the club's activities.
Last night in the Henderson Room
of the League, an evening of Ital-
ian vocal music was presented
with the cooperation of- students
from the School of Music. Italian
Christmas carols, the fourth act
of "Aida" and a madrigal group
were presented.
Other programs this semester
have included a humorous and in-

teresting talk by Prof. Ernest Pul-
gram of the romance languages
department about his experiences
in Italy last year, slides of Italy
shown by Prof. George Kish of the
geography department, and mov-
ies in Italian and about Italy,
Prof. Tenenbaum said.
An opera party travelled to De-
troit during the recent opera seo-
son and a demonstration of Italian
folk dancing was given earlier this
year.
"All our programs have been ex-
traordinarly well attended. We
only have 25 members ,but 40 or
50 people come ,to our programs.
This shows a definite interest in
Italian, since we draw others on
the campus," he commented.
In addition to regular club meet-
ings, a bi-weekly session conduct-
ed completely in Italian is held in
Club 600 at South Quad, "During
this Chiacchierata we practice
Italian by speaking and playing
games such as Bingo and Scrabble
in Italian," Prof. Tenenbaum ex-
plained.
Il Circolo Italiano is open to
anyone in the University or com-
munity who is interested. There
is no language requirement.

Regardless of what it may have
been for some, the current school
year has been easy on the snow
removal crew of the grounds de-
partment.
Of the half dozen snowfalls this
year that haven't melted almost
immediately, all but two have
been negligible,
Even Monday morning's major
snowfall made less work for the
snow crew than usual as there
was no pressure for speedy clear-
ing of campus walks with most
students still not back in Ann
Arbor.
The biggest job of the season
came after the heavy snow on the
weekend of the Ohio State gane
last November. After the usual
clearing of the over 30 miles of
University walks and streets, the
snow-packed Stadium still had to
be shoveled out.
It was not until Saturday noon
that the crew finished getting the
snow off the tarpaulins protecting
the field and out of the stadium
aisles and entrances.
The comparative snowlessness of
the season so far is expected to be
more than compensated by the
weather between now and March.
The 25 men on the crew recall
that storms at the end of January
and in February have kept them
working long; hours nearly every
year.
The men, while never happy
about a snowfall, prefer one that
comes during the night.
They can usually finish their
work in four hours then, while it
takes about seven in the day when
sidewalks are jammed with stu-
dents.

The drivers of the grounds de-
partment's five tractors used for
snow removal are each assigned to
a particular area of University
property, with the driver of the
department jeep travelling 18
miles to shovel out the Observatory
at Portage Lake.
The clearing of all areas is sub-
ordinated to the needs of the hos-
pital. Its driveways and the streets
around it are always given first
attention after a snowfall.
Panel, Forum
On Counseling
A panel discussion and open
forum on counseling will be held
at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 23. The focation
will be announced at a later date.
Sponsored by the Literary Col-
lege Steering Committee, the title
of the conference will be "The
Undergraduate's Education: Whose
Responsibilty, Student or Counse-
lor?"
"Some focus will be upon the
ambivalence in Literary College
counseling," Dave Levy, '57, chair-
man of the Steering Committee,
said.
"Many students normally reject
the counseling facilities, but turn
to them in tension situations ex-
pecting complete absolution," he
continued.
The program will begin with a
short panel discussion presented
by two faculty members and two
students. Following the panel, the
open forum will be held.

A survey just completed does not
indicate that <consumer inclina-
tions to buy will undergo any sig-
nificant change during the next
few months.
The Survey Research Center of
the University is engaged in a con-
tinuous program of research on
nationwide consumer behavior.
Regarding consumer demand as
a function of both ability and
inclination to buy, the center
collects information in both areas.
In January and February of
each year, the Surveys of Con-
sumer Finances in cooperation
with the Federal Reserve Board,
measure the consumer's confidence
and expectation in spending. The
confidence and expectations of
consumers improved greatly from
early 1954 to June 1955 and dur-
ing the last few months it has re-
mained favorable.
The Research Center's survey
on consumer attitudes and inclina-
tions to buy is one of many surveys
conducted by the Center's Eco-
nomic Behavior Program under
the direction of George Katona.
Some of the other surveys under
this program includes travel study,
long distance telephone study, and
public attitude toward prices.
The Survey Research Center
conducting these surveys is one of
two departments under control of
the Institute for Social Research
at the University. The other main
department is Group Dynamics.
Survey Research Center con-
ducts its studies by interviews of
a national cross-section. The de-
partment employs twenty-five or
more interviewers. Many of these
interviewers are presently getting
information for the Public Affairs
Program under Dr. Stephen Wit-
hey.
This program includes research
in attitudes on voting, studies for
civil defense, and a study for the
Girl Scouts of America on atti-
tudes, problems, and pressures of
adolescent girls.
Another program conducted by
the Survey Research department
is the Human Relations Program
under direction of Robert Kahn.
This program has just completed
Grad Exams Set
The Administration Test for
Graduate Study in Business will
be offered on three dates during
the coming year.
The tests, based on general
knowledge an undergraduate stu-
dent should have acquired, will be
given Feb. 2, April 14, and Aug. 18.
Applications and fees must be
filed with the Administration Test

a study for United Parcels Serv-
ice.
Group Dynamics is the other
main department of the In titute
for Social Research and is super-
vised by Dorwin Cartwright This
department is interested in the
psychology of groups and how
organization and personalities of
these groups influence what it
does and how.
Those doing research in this
department compile their infor-
mation depending upon she spe-
cifics of theories or hypotheses
which they want to test.
Lunn Chosen
To Represent
U.S. Students
As a member of the Interna-
tional Student Delegation to Asia,
Harry H. Lunn Jr., former man-
aging editor of The Daily, will
arrive in Bangkok, Thailand, Jan.
8.
Delegates are chosen for their
background in various fields of
student life and problems, health
and economic affairs, and'student
press on local, national and in-
ternational levels.
Purpose of the delegation is to
help promote understanding, and
strengthen contact and coopera-
tion between students and student
organizations and their counter-
parts in other parts of the world.
They will also devote special at-
tention to a study of the broader
student economic needs in, par-
aspects of higher education, and
ticular.
Other members of the delega-
tion are from the Gold Coast,
Guatemala, Italy and South Af-
rica.

Dean George Granger Brown of
the Engineering College and Pro-

Tokyo.
Both faculty members are visit-

management methods and assist-
ing the University's engineering
program. It is expected that mem-

peared before him the Judge ask-
ed the arresting officer if he had
personally seen who parked the
car and who owned it. When the
patrolman answered no to both
questions the magistrate advised
the defendant that he had a right
to stand mute. When the motorist
did just that Solomon dismissed
the case. Eight other defendants
quickly got the idea and were dis-
missed one by one,
The effect of this ruling appears
to be that the patrolman will have
to personally establish the owner-
ship of each vehicle he tickets.
Over a million tickets have beeni
issued by New York City this year
and the thought that each may
be challenged poses a headache
for the Motor Vehicle Bureau.
Could this happen in Ann Arbor?
"Frankly, I think it's ridiculous,"
Assistant Professor of Law B. J.
George said. "Some of those mag-
istrates have eccentric ideas about
tempering justice with mercy and
so forth."
He explained that according to
this decision the policeman would
have to stand by and watch .the
car being parked illegally and
make the arrest on the .pot.
"The magistrate is making the
decision right in the face of re-
sponsible courts, the appellate
courts of record. No one is bound
by a magistrates decision, since it
is not even a court of record."
It might be interesting if a few
local justices of the peace were
as eccentric as wise Judge Solo-
mon.

Like well-coordinated athletes, helicopters
really distinguish themselves in motion. Be-
cause of their unique ability to move about
quickly and surely in close quarters, modern
helicopters have earned a remarkab&e repu.
tation as the world's most versatile aircraft.
However, like most engineering triumphs
today, rotary-winged aircraft present a stim.
ulating challenge for tomorrow.
Certainly a bright future is assured. But
the exciting details of that future remain
to be discovered and worked out. Since
Sikorsky Aircraft is the world's pioneer hel-
icopter manufacturer, it naturally follows ,
that the world looks to Sikorsky for con.

tinued leadership. And to provide the crea.
tive engineering abilities such leadership
will demand in the future, Sikorsky looks
to you.
Obviously, you want to choose your career
wisely and well. Today there are countless
fields in which you might invest the capital
represented by your technical training and
talent. It is our belief, though, that few of
them can produce the dividends of satis.
faction, the rewarding challenge and the
possibility of career growth that you will'
find here. If you will write to Mr. Richard
Auten of our Personnel Department, he will
gladly tell you more about Sikorsky
Aircraft.
