The sculpture has been ap- proved by the Senior Board and University officials, pending col- lection of enough additional class dues to cover the cost. A sketch of the work was ap- proved at a meeting of the Gift Committee with University Presi- dent Harlan Hatcher, assistant to the president Erich A. Walter and" Vice President in charge of Stu- dent Affairs James A. Lewis. Ziegelman said the', sculpture was "acceptable to all," adding that Prof. Fredrick Wagman,' di- rector of the Undergrduate Li- brary, was especially enthusiastic. The sktatue, of vari-colored bronze, will stand in the library's corner lounge, which is officially designated as an exhibition area. The project is being handled by Prof. Thomas McClure, of the architecture college, who drew up the preliminary sketch. Prof. Mc- Clure has done similar work be- fore, including sculpture for the inside of a new Dearborn office building. Completion date has tentatively been set for "July 1 or earlier." The project will cost the class $1,500, excluding the base. Ziegel- S man said they are hoping the plant department will build a base for them. The senior class treasury at present contains $1,248, of which $88 was collected during Febru- ary registration. Ziegelman esti- mated that about $500 more is needed to cover the cost of the sculpture plus an i n d e f i n i t e amount for the Alumni Fund. - In order to collect the neces- sary amount, Senior Board re- cording secretary Joan Wood, '58, announced the class will conduct a fund drive continuing until spring vacation.

That would be prefer- able, if it were a long conference, he said, because of his constitu- tional duties and the~need of sign- ing official papers.

()-The Army lost its second M satellite yesterday, minutes after firing it spaceward with the juX rocket. Scientists said odds are that it didn't go into orbit and g that the satellite's radios may have failed, or it might have c back into the earth's atmosphere. In either case, they don't know where it is and probably be able to decide the fate of the Explorer Ir for several days.

MERITS OF CELEBRITIES DISCUSSED: I Cyrano Chosen Sole Survivor of 'Balloon Debate', By JEAN HARTWIG Cyrano de Bergerac was the last survivor of the International Students Association's leaking balloon last night. Asserting that "love is the ultimate dream and goal of every man and woman and I am the true giver of ultimate love," de Bergerac, defended by Thomas David, Grad., of India, won the ISA Balloon Debate. "Everything is only to serve or enhance this love," he added. "The 'others here tonight are merely mediums which aid in the search for love. I symbolize the giver of ultimate love because I gave my loved one the chance to find her true love." Seven Contestants Featured The debate featured seven contestants, each vying for the sur- viving position in the hypothetical balloon. Each speaker was assigned a final position by a vote of the audience. Machiavelli, whose case was presented by Fredrico Spantigati, Grad., of Italy, was chosen to jump first, followed by Laika, the Sputnik dog, portrayed by Ian Scariasbrick, Grad., from England.
