THE MICHIGAN DAILY COLLEGE ROUND-UP: Minnesota'U'Fights Polio; Purdue Turns Away 5,000 (.'______________5 ,0 00____________________________ The University of Minnesota con- tinued its fight on the polio epidemic this week, the biggest epidemic that has occurred in the United States, according to Dr. Donald Cown, assist- ant director .of the Minnesota Health Service. Although 21 children be- tween the ages of five and 16 have been treated there, no new cases among University students have been reported since the two recent fatali- ties. A plan for full utilization of higher education facilities in Minnesota through a process of joint registra- tion will be inaugurated this fall as a measure aimed at giving the esti- mated 41,000 college students in the state their chance for a college edu- cation. * * * The University of Illinois campus newspaper, "The Daily Illini," re- ported this week a strong possibility that 30,000 prospective college stu- dents from Illinois will be barred from entrance to any branch of high- er education in the state because of over-crowded . conditions. According to an estimate based on the study of the education facilities of the state, AF of L 72,br' Rauc eteerng' Faces Inquiry DETROIT, Aug. 17-(A)-Eighteen officers and business agents of the AFL Teamsters Union were accused of an extortion conspiracy and ,viola- tion of the State Labor Law in war- rants annoupced tonight by Circuit Judge George B. Murphy. Judge Murphy, who has been sit- ting as a one-man grand jury investi- gating charges of labor racketeering. said the warrants were the first of "what may prove to be a long series." The inquiry has been going on since June. A grand jury investigation was ord- ered by the Wayne (Detroit) County courts after food merchants of the metropolitan area, protesting union tactics in an organizing drive, had accused the teamsters of illegal prac- tices. A 3,500,000 damage suit was brought against the union by the Detroit Re- tail Meat Merchants Association lastl May. The suit alleged a "coercive; and monopolistic" campaign on the union's part in seeking "unlawful1 labor objectives." The union had set out to organize the clerks of the metropolitan area's] 6,000 food stores. A court injunction restrained the union from picketing1 the stores Aid from demanding that1 merchants buy 35 monthly permits from the union in order to pick up1 foodstuffs at markets. there is room for probably not more than 100,000 students. A campaign to fight discrimina- tion against Negroes is underway at the University of Illinois under the direction of the Student-Commun- ity Interracial committee, with the public comnendation of President George D. Stoddard. Six campus restaurants have been picketed by members and sympathizers of the committee for unequal services to Negroes. Efforts to ' salvage the academic careers of numerous junior and sen- ior girls at the University of Illinois who were displaced by sale of 10 houses in which they had been liv- ing, resulted in formation of a par- ents' cooperative, which purchased three houses in the campus area. A "split-shift" work plan for stu- ient veterans at Michigan State Col- lege is being considered as a possible inswer to the problem of increased food and housing costs. Although :till in the idea stage, it shows prom- ise of enabling the veterans to make $100 per month to supplement their ;overnment incomes. The central idea of the plan is for veterans to divide a full shift at the larger in- dustrial concerns in the Lansing area. A draft of plans for a cooper- tive store at the trailer camp at Michigan State College were present- d to President John A. Hannah this week. ** * The Purdue University has been forced to deny entrance this fall to approximately 5,000 students, large- ly out-of-state residents, due to the critical housing situation and limited instructional facilities. The estimat- ed total resident enrollment at the University is expected to approximate 12,000, as compared to the pre-war peak of 7,121. In addition, 1,000 freshmen students will be admitted at 1S centers maintained by the Purdue Extension division. Another headache at Purdue Uni- sity concerns the housing prob- lem. University officials have made an appeal to all householders in nearby small towns in an effort to provide accommodations for approximately 3,000 students who must be housed in private hones or be forced to stay out of school. An editorial campaign in the Uni- versity of Indiana "Daily Student" has been launched against the illicit c ale of marijuana, a quantity of the sensation - provoking weed having been discovered in a private automo- bile in Indianapolis last week. In the midst of the phenomenal housing difficulties at the University of Indiana, as elsewhere, a coed there has rejected her educational career because the only room she could find was papered and decorated in pink, to which color she claimed she was violently allergic!
