RIPENING MAIZE, AZURE BLUE:
Regents Accept New University Flag
I
A University flag with colors of
"ripening maize and azui'e blue"
was accepted by the Regents at
their July meeting.
Designed by Prof. Walter J.
Gores of the architecture college,
the flag decorates the Regents
Room of the Administration
Building. The Regents author-
ized the preparation of two more
flags, one to be used by the
Marching Band.
Over the years there has been a
tendency for the blue in Universi-
ty colors to be of a deeper shade
than was intended. In the new
flag, azure blue is taken to mean
the deep. sky blue as seen between
and in contrast with the white
clouds.
The new flag retains the basic
symbols of the University as in-
corporated in the official Univer-
sity seal. These are the name and
the founding date; the motto, "Ar-
tes, Scientia, Veritas"; the lighted
lamp of enlightenment and search
for truth; and the radiating sun
of energy, light and lifeforce.
In addition, the new flag has
"ars of color down one side sym-
bolizing the various schools and
colleges in the University.
Prof. Gores' interest in the flag
dates back to his acquaintance,
while he was an undergraduate
student in Stanford University in,
1919-20, with Charles M. Gayley,
who wrote the words to the Uni-
versity of Michigan's alma mater,
"Yellow and Blue."

UNDERSTANDING OF FAITHS:
Lane Hall Holds Religious Activities
Health Aid
Given Free
To Students
University Health Service pro-
vides a variety of free services to
students.
The health program begins with
a complete health examination
when a student enters the Univer-
sity. Possible contagions are de-
tected and physicians are enabled
to advise desirable programs for
individual students.
Health Service offices and In-
firmary are equipped to render
general and special services. Reg-
ular hours are 8 a.m. noon
and 1 to 5 p.m Monday through
Saturday noon.
Unlimited out-patient service in-
cluding psychiatry, allergy, usual
X-rays, ordinary drugs, dressings
and laboratory are provided. Room
calls are made at small charges to
the patient.
Bed care is extended for thirty
days in any school year with
emergency operations and medical
service. Charges are, made for
special nurses and expensive drugs,
Medical care is given by thor-
oughly trained persons only. Stu-
dent patients are not used as
clinical subjects for medical-stu-
dent instruction or experiments.
Health Service leaves the deci.'
sion of excusing class absence to
instructors. Only statements of
facts relative to confining illnesses
which extend beyond one day are
issued.
Parents; receive routine special
delivery letters when Health Ser-
vice sends a student to University
Hospital. Notification of parents
for Infirmary patients is left to the
judgment of their physician.
Tutoring Files
At League, Union
Students who need tutoring aid
in classes causing them difficulties
can get it.
Up-to-date tutoring files listing
students interested in acting as
tutors are available in the League
and Union for students who desire
help before final examinations.
"No student has received a lib-
eral education unless he has ac-
quired an understanding of his own
faith and of faiths other than his
own."
This statement is the foundation
of the University Religious Center's
philosophy. Therefore, Lane Hall's
purpose is to try, through varied
activities, to improve religious un-
derstanding.
More than forty types of activi-
ties, all inter-religious in scope, are
carried on in the Center each year.
Those of a more formal nature
include the lecture series, which
brings to Ann Arbor speakers who
help to interpret religion to the
total campus. Also, open discus-
sions ar conducted often at Lane
Hall.
Lane Hall Traditions
Along less formal lines, overnight
camping trips are held, on which
individuals of differing cultural
backgrounds enjoy recreation and
informal discussion. Tuesday eve-
ning square and folk dances, Fri-
day afternoon coffee hours and
Saturday luncheons have all be-'
come Lane Hall traditions.
The Center's recreational facili-
ties include a hi-fi music room, a
television lounge, a photography
dark room and a craft shop.
In the building there are also
conference rooms, an auditorium,;
a meditation room, a library and
periodical racks.
It is through Lane Hall's four
major agencies that the University
encourages cooperation between all
student religious groups organized
on campus.
The Student Religious Associa-
tion (SRA) is the student-initiated
part of the cooperative program.
It includes a council and the spon-
sorship of several Lane Hall activi-
ties.
Professional Level
Counterpart of the SRA Council
on a professional level, the Campus
Religious Council is composed of
all of the trained religious workers
and some students.
Inter-Guild is the inter-protes-
tant student council for expressing
the joint concerns of seven evan-
gelical groups.
Last of the major agencies, the
Christian Student Directors' Asso-
ciation brings together the Protes-
tant ministry to students for joint
action and cooperative planning.
Lane Hall's function is two-fold.
It serves as both the religious
counseling center for the Univer-
sity and as an agency of referral
to the Chaplains of the established
faiths and denominations adjacent
to the campus.
The professional staff of the
Center is available for consultation
with students, faculty and friends.
The staff includes DeWitt C. Bald-
win, coordinator of religious af-
fairs; C. Grey Smith, Doris Harpole
and Edith Skobo, program assist-
ants; Edna Z. Alber, secretary; and
Joan C. Sims, stenographer.
Report by Committee on Duties of Faculty
Rejected, Sparks Controversy on Campus
(Continued from Page 1) (E
of Prof. Nickerson and Davis for
refusing to cooperate with Uni-
iersity committees investigating
their refusals to answer questions
of former Rep. Kit Clardy's Sub-
:ommittee on Un-American Acti-
vities, and the reinstatement of
Prof. Clement L. Markert after a
similar University investigation.
Open Letter Released
A week after the statement of
the five faculty members was
printed in The Daily, Prof. Amos
H. Hawley, chairman of the soci-
ology department and of the Com-
mittee on the Responsibilities of
the Faculty to Society, and Prof.
Marston Bates of the zoology de-
partment, released an open letter
to the Senate to The Daily.
Regretting that the issue must
be discussed in the press, the op-
en letter focused attention on the
lack of opportunity for discussion
and debate in the Senate. "The
present ineffectiveness of the Se-
nate as a deliberative body should
be of deep concern to all of us,"
the letter said.
