Two-week-old Karen yawned a sleepy acknowledgement to the in- terruption of her afternoon nap. "Taking care of the baby is a full time job," the dark-haired woman remarked, sitting down on the couch. Her husband, Dr. Mar- tin Jaffe, is a resident in internal medicine at University Hospital. Mrs. Jaffe is one of this year's two student representatives on the See story on Lew Engman, other Honors Convocation Com- mittee student representative, on page 3. committee. In addition to the two students, five faculty members also serve on the committee. Chosen by Hatcher The social studies major was selected by University President Harlan Hatcher from a list of five women recommended by SGC last spring to serve on the Committee. The decision was based on partici- pation In campus activities and academic standing. The committee decided on Prof. Robert F. Goheen, president-elect of Princeton University, as speak- er..Mrs. Jaffe believes that he will be the best speaker they have had in the four years she has been here. Her year as a member on this committee will be terminated with a dinner given by President and Mrs. Hatcher in honor of the speaker after the Convocation. Sorority Member Mrs" Jaffe, affiliated with Alpha Epsilon Phi, is a member of Alpha Bringing water laws under com- prehensive state control is the aim of University legal researchers' new proposals for dramatic re- forms in the nation's water laws. After nearly a year's work, the Legislative Research Center has come up with recommendations designed to help states insure opti- mum use of their water resources. The proposals call for creation of state agencies empowered to issue short-term licenses for water use, controlling pollution and ap- portioning water between users in emergencies. Adoption by state legislatures would have important consequences morally for farmers, fishermen, and industrialists. Water Use Rising State legislators in this area are faced with skyrocketing con- sumption of water for industrial and agrtcultural purposes. Without water states may face an abrupt end of their industrial development programs, be forced to take emergency action to meet future shortages, or, because of inaction, find their powers pre- empted by the federal government. The two main types of present laws are: "riparian" law, prevail- ing in the East, South, and Mid- west, and the "prior appropriation" doctrine, governing water use in 17 states-from North Dakota to Texas and westward. Riparian Law Only persons who own land ad- joining a river, stream or other water resource-called "ripanians" -are entitled to its use under "ri- parian" law. They can have as much water as they reasonably need if their use does not inter- fere with that of other "riparians." As the University researchers see it, the trouble with this doc- trine is that it is extremely diffi- cult for anyone to know for sure just how much water he can use how long. On the other hand, in the West the first person who puts a river or stream to good use becomes a "senior appropriator" and acquires the right to use the same amount of water for the same purpose in- definitely. By giving an agency unified au- thority to govern the use of water, the University researchers believe states would be in a better posi- tion to limit soil erosion, prevent stream pollution, and exercise other functions related to the wel- fare of the state and public health and safety. Geophysicist To Lecture Harry Wexler, chief scientist foal the United States Internationall Geophysical Year Antarctic Pro- gram will speak on "The Interna- tional Geophysical Year" at 4:15 p.m. Monday in the Rackham Amphitheater. Wexler, also director of meteo- rological research for the United States Weather Bureau, will speak again at 8 p.m. Monday in the, east conference room of the Rack- ham Building. His topic for the evening lecture wili be, "Some Aspects of Polar Geophysics." Together with President Law- rence Gould of Carleton College, Northfield, Minn., Wexler spent over two months in the Antarctic, region.
