There is no record of the cours
of Mayflower I. However, "dea

century probably led Christophe
Jones, its master, to sail sotuh to
wards Spain and then cut adros

In common with all square-sai
vessels, Mayflower II cannot tack

is a direct reflection on the pro-
fessional pride of the local teach-
ing corps and the prestige which
the community accords its edu-
cators; but most significant is the
leadership which the school ad-
ministration gives to an organized
program of encouragement to its
prospective teachers.
"A major responsibility rests
upon the administrative official
to whom the community has en-.
trusted the task of obtaining and
retaining' a corps of competent
teachers."
The report notes that some dis-
tricts profit by the availability of
competent teachers who are
spouses of university students, or
of military personnel or employes
of local industry,
School Board
Will Change
Job Forms
Ann Arbor Board of Education
4agreed last week to a four-point
change in applicaton forms for
hiring city public school teachers.
Purpose of the revision is to
bring the local forms in line with
the Fair Employment Practices
Act by removing or changing ques-
tions that might be discrimina-
tory.
f Examples: "Citizen of what a
country?" will be changed to 1
read, "Citizen of U.S.?"
"Are you a member of a
church?" will be deleted.
Inclusion of fraternal or-
ganizations will not be asked.
The decision to change the ap-
plicatien forms followed consul-
tation with Roscoe D. Bonisteel,
Jr., shool board legal consul.
Riot Target
At Illinois
University of Illinois students
staged an eight-hour riot on Me-
morial Day.
It took 200 police officers and
150 volleys of tear gas bombs to
quiet the outbreak.
Members of two neighboring
fraternities, got fed, up with study-
ing for their exams and released
tension, they said, by starting a
water fight. It spread rapidly. and
soon 5,000 of the University's 25,-
000 students were involved.
Sherwood Lodge, a women's
dormitory, became theamain tar-
get, and two coeds were badly
injured, one when a wastebasket
crashed through her window.
. Illinois President David Dodds
Henry threatened expulsion of
ringleaders.

WASHINGTON (--The Sen-
ate, within a matter of minutes,
yesterday duplicated action of the
House in passing a bill approvins
the borrowing of an -dditional 35
million dollars to complete con-
struction of the U.S. portion of
the St. Lawrence SeawayE
The bills. with minor exceptions,
are virtually identical. The deffer-;
ences, however, must be reconciled
by a Senate-House Conference.
Passage in the Senate. about 10
10 minutes after the House hadl
acted, was without objection.
May Borrow Millions
Each measure provides that the
St. Lawrence Seaway development
Corp., the agency created by Con-
gress to construct the 27-foot-deep
international waterway, may bor-
row a maximum of 140 million
dollars from the treasury depart-
ment to complete construction of
the project.
The corporation's previous max-
imum borrowing authority under
a bill passed in 1954, was 105 mil-
lion dollars.
Supporters of the bill said the
increase in costs was due to price
rises, planning and design
changes, and added construction
items.
One difference in the two meas-
ures is that the Senate, in approv-
ing deferment of interest pay-
ments by the corporation during
the construction period, specified
that after June 30, 1960, "pay-
ments so deferred" shall bear
interest.
-Will Open in 1959
The seaway is scheduled to be
opened early in 1959.
The Senate Foreign Relations
Committee's report on the bill
contained one sentence that ex-
plained its prompt passage. It
said:

Sets Events
For Sumer
The Univ-ersity's; Summer Ses-
sion French Club has planned an
interesting schedule of summer
events for the public enjoyment
and participation.
Yesterday, an organizational
and "get-together" meeting of
those interested in attending some
of the activities was held in the
Michigan League. It was designed
to acquaint the public with the
program.
The meeting was the first in
the list of events which are to
continue through July 30.
Sunday, July 2, Robert Courte,
violist, and Lydia Courte, pianist
will present a program of French
music for the viola and piano.
Following this tete a tete on
Tuesday, July 9 a TV film on the
French concept of liberty will be
shown. After the film a panel will
discuss the movie.
Thursday, July 18, "La Regle
du Jeu", a french film by Jean
Renoir will be shown.
The event scheduled for Tues-
day, July 23 will feature Prof.
Robert Niess of the French de-
partment.
Prof. Niess will give a talk en-
titled "Zola and his Times" in
connection with an exhibition of
related documents and photo-
graphs,
Tuesday, July 30, the closing
dite of the program, schedules the
Evocation of Paris featuring films
and songs.
In addition to the scheduled
events, two special events will also
be held by the French club.
College Editors
Nixon, Kenned
If the consensus of campus
editors is any indication of the
public's thoughts, Vice-President
Richard M. Nixon and Senator
John F. Kennedy (D-Mass.) will
be opposing each other in the 1960
battle for the presidency.
This opinion was reached in the
fifth annual College Editors Poll
conducted by journalism students
at New York University last week,
Nixon and Sen. Kennedy amass-
ed more than twice as many points
in the poll as the two second-
place finishers - Senator William
F. Knowland (R-Calf.) and Sen-
ate Majority Leader Lyndon John-
son (D-Tex.).
The 58 student leaders from
.coast to coast were about evenly
divided on whether the GOP can
win without President Dwight D.
Eisenhower at the head of the
ticket.

party they favored, twelve jour-
