"There's aetendency on campus
to be apathetic toward Student
Government Council in general,"
Bob Creal, chairman of the SGC
Speaker's Bureau commented.
"Students don't realize exactly
what SGC is doing," he continued.
"This is characterized by a letter-
to-the-editor from a graduate stu-
dent recently reprinted in The
Daily which read, articles we never
finish reading: SGC to de-
cide .."
It is to combat this general
lack of understanding of the pur-
poses and functions of SGC, that
the Speaker's Bureau has been
organized.
New Plan
The Bureau, a sub-committee of
the Public Relations Committee,
is developing a plan to make SGC
members available each month to
the 126 campus housing units.
Each of the eighteen members
of SGC will be available to make
one visit a week, which would
mean 76 visits would be completed
in a month.
The members would attend din-
ner at the house and meet the
members on an informal basis.
Later a discussion would be held
in the lounges, during which the
house members could talk over
current issues before SGC or any
problems they feel should be
brought before SOC.
"If students are interested in a
subject, they'll bring it up at; a
time such as this program pro-
vides" Creal commented.
Meetings
The meetings would be strictly
on an informal, voluntary .basis
and not mandatory house func-
tions. "We don't want to push
ourselves on anybody," Creal com-
mented. "This is just like taking
advantage ofthe right to vote."
Although various members of
G&S To Give
Princess Ida'
Gilbert and Sullivan Society
will present "Princess Ida" as their
spring production on March 14, 15
and 16 in Ann Arbor.
Plans also include a perform-
ance in Detroit on March 23 and a
road tour.

president, Bud Moore, '57BAd; sec-
retary, Mary Coedy, '58E: treas-
urer, Dave Dow, '583M production

SGC have visited housing units on
campus before, it has been donej
oamuhaphazard, personal]basis,
without any co-ordinated efforts.
Under this new plan, SGC hopes
to provide the houses with a dif-
ferent speaker every month. In
this way, students would become
acquainted with the' members
themselves and their personal
stands on current issues.
Last week, the Bureau sent let-
ters to all housing units on cam-
pus explaining the program and
its purpose and asking them to
return the enclosed postcard indi-
cating whether they would be in-
terested in having a SGC member
visit their group. Only eight
groups have responded favorably
at the present time.
After vacation, members of the
bureau will speak before the Pan-
Hellenic, Assembly, IFC and IHC
monthly meetings to further ex-
plain the purposes of the program.

Dr. Mallery
Receives New
Appointment
Dr. Otto Tod Mallery, associate
professor of internal medicine and
former director of the University's
Institute of Industrial Health, has
been appointed medical director
of the Employers Mutual Liability
Insurance Company of Wisconsin.
also known as Employers' Mutual
of Wausau.
He will assume his new duties
Jan. 1, 1957.
Dr. Mallery is a nationally
known consultant on industrial'
health and has been associated
with the University's Institute of
Industrial Health since its crea-
tion in 1951. In September of this
year he resigned the Institute
directorship in order to concen-
trate on clinical medicine at the
University Hospital.
Commenting on the loss of Dr.
Mallery to his department, Dr.
Paul S. Barker, chairman of the
University's department of intern-
al medicine stated, "We regret
deeply his leaving. Dr. Mallery has
contributed greatly to the Depart-
ment of Internal Medicine, and
even served beyond the depart-
ment in his counsel with various
industrial firms."
Are
A camera, it is said, can cap-
ture scenes and hold them for-
ever.
While this is true, it also should
be noted that the camera often
sees things in a different per-
spective than the human eye.
It can pick up a wall of a
building seen several times a day
by the same persons. But when
those persons view an enlarged
print of a corner of that wall, it
suddenly becomes more mean-
ingful to them; it suddenly hits
them quite differently than be-
fore.
Despite all the camera eye can
capture, it is the photographer's
eye which must be particularly
perceptive.
Composition Sense Necessary
Primary essential quality for
the man behind the camera is
a sense of composition.
He should be able to look at a
building, a tree, a sidewalk or oth-
er object and perceive how the
subject will appear in a finished
print.
By the use of a little ingenuity,
the photographer can catch an
unusual angle for an usual photo-
graph.
Camera Tilting Is Effective
A picture showing a wall of a
building will be flat and unin-
teresting if taken at eye level. By
tilting his camera upwards and
sidewards, the photographer can
come up with an intersting, fea-
turish photograph.

A TREE IN THE LATE AF-
TERNOON -- This photograph
exhibits benefits of patience. By
waiting until shadows created
an interesting effect, photogra-
pher caught a tree, seemingly
naked in its mood, against a
wall of Angell Hall. Shadows
produced by branches of an-
other tree illustrate the effect
of a 'silent', unclashing back-
ground.
GENERAL LIBRARY BY NIGHT-Night photograph shows front of general library. Student bi-
cycles, left in helter-skelter array, provide an interesting note to the composition of the shot.
