Student Publications omplete Busy Year Assembly Represents I A A GREAT NIGHT-Michigan completed its highly successful basketball season by downing Michigan State's Big Ten co-cham- It has been an unusual athletic year. Honors seemed to elude most of Michigan's teams. Close but oft- en not quite close enough was one' of the Maize and Blue rewards over the past full year of time. And yet in many respects this period of spring 1956 through winter 1957 was overall one of Michigan's strongest, National Stars Certainly it was a period for cer- tain individuals to shine. On the national scene the names of Ron Kramer, Barry MacKay, and Dave Owen were among the biggest in intercolegiate athletics. During this time, Michigan was also able to win one national championship in swimming and two Big Ten Conference titles in outdoor track and tennis. The overall strength came in the depth. Michigan earned runner- up spots in the Western Confer- ence in golf, football (tie), wrest- ling, swimming, and gymnastics. The Blue placed second not onlys in the Western Inter-collegiate Hockey League but also in the NCAA playoffs. Baseball took a fourth, as did indoor track, and basketball again brought up the rear with a tie for fifth. Michigan's overall record in all sports again placed it ahead of all schools in the athletic-con- scious Big Ten. Strong Finish Football this past fall brought reason for optimism. Michigan performed as expected with a 7-2 record. It didn't quite win the titlek or get the Rose Bowl bid, as the Wolverines had one bad day against Minnesota, 20-7, on Home- coming Day. The following weekend the Blue rebounded to beat champion Iowa. The season ended with a satisfy- ing routing of Ohio State, 19-0, to place Michigan as possibly the strongest Conference team at thet finish.- Ron Kramer, one of Michigan'sZ all-time versatile athletes, was ont everybody's All-American team. Tom Maentz and Terry Barr also gained recognition as two of the top senior football players in the_ nation.- Tank Champs1 The indoor season promised some strong title contenders. But1 the Wolverines were blanked inY Big Ten competition as far ast championships were concerned.- It took the swimming squad to, bring home a national first place (with a little help from the ineli- gibility of swimming power Ohio State).- The success story of the sopho- more-loaded team was primarily attributed to diver Dick Kimbell, who won both the NCAA high andI low board titles, and to Dick Han-t ley and Cy Hopkins. Hanley and1 Hopkins seemed to break a rec-i ord almost every time they en- tered the water. Michigan hads once again established itself as a national swimming power. 1 Meanwhile, the Wolverine hock- ey team was having another ex-I citing season with a typically slow start and a strong finish. Michi-I gan crept its way up into the sec- ond place spot in the WIHL, but the power just was not there asI Colorado College solidly ended the reign of Vic Heyliger's team, 13-6,l in the NCAA finals for the firstl time in two years. "Giant Killer" Basketball saw Michigan endI with a 13-9 mark for the first positive season in quite a while.1 In a strong Conference race, Michigan was able to claim the I IT'S STILL A TOUCHDOWN-John Herrnstein (foreground) withstands the efforts of several UCLA tacklers to score a touch- down in Michigan's 1956 opening day 42-13 triumph.

Union Builds New Facilities For Service The Michigan Union increases its services to the University com- munity every year. Union facilities are in demand for lectures, organization meet-' ings, dinners, and leisure hour recreation., Cafeteria, snack bar, and din- ing -room service are all provided by the Union, which serves mere people than any other Ann Arbor restaurant. Rooms are provided for the re- turning graduate, visiting par- ents and friends of University men. The Union provides meeting places for any approved group in both the new and old sections of the Union. Established in 1904. the Union did not have a building for the first three years of its existence. Grouni was groken for the main building in 1916, with the aid of alumni backing. Three ad- ditions have been made since then. Formally dedicated this year, the newest wing of the Union houses expanded student offices' dining, music and conference rooms-all designed to provide in- creased service and facilities at1 the Union. From senior table-top carving to freshman mixers, the student of- fices of the union provide many services to both students and al- umni A plan for a representative body of University men, which has been around for some time, is being car- ried out by the Union, and should be in effect next year. Increased integration of foreign students is the aim of the new International Committee of the Union, also begun this year. With the addition of the Inter- national and Academic Services committees, 10 student-staffed committees carry out the projects of the student offices. They are responsible for Little Club, jazz concerts, Saturday night dances, Quarterback films during football season, the Student-Fac- ulty - Administration Conference an air flight to Europe, theatre trips and an annual open house.

WAA is governed by a policy- making board composed of an ex- ecutive council and the sport and dance club managers. Among the activities which it sponsors is Spring Weekend, co- sponsored with the Union. The women's organization also spon- sors Lantern Night in honor of senior women, this year planned for Tuesday, May 14. Michifish and the Modern Dance group also operate under the guidance of WAA. The Association is self-support- ing, receiving funds to operate through the sale of blazers, ap- ples and calendars. During the past year the As- sociation became a member of the Campus Chest Board, aided the International Center in its athletic activities, became a mem- ber+ of the Student Activities Building committee and occupied an office at 2543 SAB. Two new clubs organized dur- ing the year. The Outing Club has seasonal activities including rifle and firearms safety study in the fall, skiing in the winter and fishing in the spring. The Life Guard Corps assists in swimming classes and serves as lifeguards for recreational swimming. Charlotte L.

Manning '5R.1tan- ndependents title of "giant killer" with two big victories over NCAA semi-finalist Michigan State as the most no- ticeable achievement. While the other indoor sports were doing fairly well, one in- dividual stood out among the field -shot putter Owen. Although the track team was unable to recap- ture its title after four straight indoor and outdoor crowns, the performances of Owen captured many headlines. His steady rise to the distance of 59' ranked the husky captain as among the world's best. Fugitive from football Jim Pace was Michigan's only other star in- doors this winter with a first place title in the sprints. Gym Stars Olympian Ed Gagnier was Michigan's big drawing card in the fortunes of the gymnastics team. A strong second place fin- ish to Illinois in the Big Ten championship was satisfying after a rough dual meet season. Ed Cole was a welcome addition to the trampolinists as he gained a Con- ference first and an NCAA third place. The wrestling team at the same time was unable to win a third straight title with the difference only a single point from winner Minnesota. Most consistent per- formers all winter were Captain Mike Rodriguez and Max Pearson, both Big Ten winners and final- ists in the NCAA tournament. Rodriguez will long be remem- bered as one of the strongest and most colorful wrestlers on the in- tercollegiate level. The spring of 1956 was a fruit- ful one for Michigan squads with two titles, a second place, and a fourth. Biggest name was Mac- Kay, who not only led the Wolver- ine tennis team to a Conference title but also placed himself among the nation's best. A preliminary Davis Cup mem- ber, MacKay competed on an in- ternational level in the summer. His best single performance was to come at the national indoors as a singles semi-finalist and doubles champion. Dick Potter, meanwhile, ranked as Michigan's second best competitor. Track brought its fourth title in a row by 3112 points over Iowa. Only solo winners were Owen in the shot put and Eeles Landstrom in the pole vault. Mark Booth and Brendan O'Reilly tied for first in the high jump. Plagued Diamond The Michigan baseball was plagued by an up and down year but finished in a familiarly strong fashion with two big victories over Michigan State. Leading the Wolverine hitters were Bill Thurs- ton with a .407 season mark and Ken Tippery at .345. Michigan finished a game above the 50-50i mark with a Conference record of fourth and six wins, five losses. The final spring performance was another strong one, this time by the i eteran golf team that was able to tinish just seven strokes (1501-1508) behind champion Purdue. Final low man in the tournament for Michigan was jun- ior John Schubeck who earned a fourth place tie. As with all of Michigan's 1956 spring sports, seasoned personnel made the 1957 spring a promising one for the golfers. Working in a $500,000 plant, Michigan Daily staff members publish a newspaper six times a week. The newspaper itself is the pro- duct of cooperative interaction of reporting, desk work and leg work between the editorial, sports, wom- en's and business staffs. The Daily is operated entirely by University students. Free from faculty censorship, The Daily registers its editorial freedom in editorials and commen- taries on campus and national issues. The Michiganensian is the offi- cial school yearbook. Combining writing, photography and business talents, 'Ensian staff members work together to produce a book which captures the years events, and reflects "typical" campus life pictorially and edi- torially. Poking fun at administration, student organizations and campus publications, Gargoyle, the campus humor magazine, goes its merry satirical way publishing six issues a year. Garg staffers devote the maga- zine issues to admitted "stolen" jokes, humorous fiction, art in the literal sense and occasional pieces of original and unoriginal music. Generation, founded at the Uni- veresity in 294, is the University's newest contribution to the creative arts. Appearing three times yearly, the inter-arts magazine features art, music and the dance, as well as poetry, fiction, drama and criticism. The Michigan Technic, a maga- zine published by students of the engineering college, is the oldest engineering college publication in existence. Technic publishes articles of current engineering interest, re- ports on research projects, news of engineering alumni, the progress and programs of all the engineer- ing societies. Pace, short-lived campus maga- zine, began its existence last No- vember ,and is now defunct. The objective of Pace editors was to appeal to the entire campus through its low price and varied format. The issue was an almal- gation of interviews, essays, fiction, satire, humor, music, reviews, poe- try and worked pictures of campus life. Why it failed-nobody knows.

A new project begun last winter was the publication of a panhel- lenic newspaper, the Affiliate. In November, Jr. Panhellenic sponsored a drive for the Michi- gan Association for Retarded Children which brought in a re- cord solicitation of $5,000. Their other projects for the year included renovation of the Fresh Air Camp and the annual Muscu- lar Dystrophy Drive with Junior Inter-Fraternity Council.

Services are provided in four' major areas: member fraternities,' student body and University, the Ann Arbor community, and service, in fraternity ideals. IFZ's senior officers are elected: by the Fraternity President's Assembly. The organization has won three National Interfraternity Council Awards in the last four years. They represent the first university to receive the award for the best fraternity program in the United States and Canada more than once. Fraternity pledges are auto- matically members of Junior In- terfraternity Council. This group's officers are elected by the pledge presidents' assembly of the prev- ious semester. JIFC is organized chiefly to en- courage friendships b e t w e e n pledges of different fraternities as well as building better relations between fraternity and sorority pledges. JIFC also can be a step- ping-stone to IFC work for the interested pledge. JIFC and Junior Panhellenic Association coordinate on two major projects each year.
