ONE WALKOUT, ONE DISSENSION: Committee Approves Council Plan WALTER ROTH ... new head Name Roth To Post Walter M. Roth, superintendent of plant, has been named superin- tendent of utility development at the University. Alfred B. Ueker, personnel offi- cer, was named to succeed Roth as plant department head. Both appointments will become effective July 1, according to Vice-President in Charge of Business and Fiance Wilbur K. Pierpont. Attributing Roth's newly-created position to "the rapid growth of the University's physical facilities and the need for utilities to serve these facilities," Pierpont said Roth will devote his work to utility needs in all campus areas. Here in 1926 Roth joined the University in 1926, the year he received his de- gree in civil engineering here. In 1935, he became assistant superin- tendent of the buildings and grounds department, and in 1945 he was named superintendent of plant. The Plant Department of the University is responsible for the operation and maintenance of buildings, grounds, and other fa- cilities. Ueker will carry a well-diversi- fied background of educational ex- perience into his new post. He was graduated from the University of Wisconsin in 1933 with a degree in electrical engineering. Three years later, he received his bachelor of laws degree from Marquette. Industrial Electrician From 1924 to 1929 he was an in- dustrial electrician with the Briggs and Stratton Corporation, and from 1933 to 1937 he was a mem- ber of that firm's plant engineer- ing staff. He was assistant to the chief inspector from 1937 to 1940. He was director of education, then director of industrial rela- tions for the Murray Corporation of America between 1940 and 1945, and in the latter year he became personnel officer at the University. Ueker is a member of the Amer- ican Management Association, the Industrial Relations Research As- sociation, and Eta Kappa Nu, honorary electrical engineering fraternity. YR's Criticize Sallade Action Reps. George W. Sallade (R- Ann Arbor) and John Morris (R- Midland) have been criticized for their attempts to start a Rocke- feller-for-President boom at the National Federation of Young Re- publicans convention in Denver. (Continued from Page 1) earlier in the meetings declared they could not support any plan that contained substantive re-' view. Soon after Wise walked out. Began Early The debate began early in the meeting, even before the com- mittee started to consider the new plan that had been worked out by a sub-committee. The sub-committee had been set up at a previous meeting and consisted of one member from each of the three elements: students, faculty and administration. The members of the sub-com- mittee were Lewis, Gregg and Prof. Oliver Edel of the music school. Lewis said the consensus of the sub-committee was that a vote of at least six members of the committee would be necessary to approve the plan and that at least one member of each ele- ment must be in favor of the plan, Favored Two Votes Miss Maier said the plan would carry more weight .i it were necessary for at least two of the three representatives of each ele- ment to vote in its favor. This, she added, would show that every group was in favor of the plan. Wise concurred, saying it would be bad if a plan were adopted which any one group was against. Gregg said that since the com- mittee had been meeting for such a long period of time (four months), there were real values to be gained if a decision was reached. However, he agreed that there should be at least some representation of each group to approve a plan. Unwise to Rush Miss Maier commented it would be unwise to rush through with a plan just to have something, because there is so much at stake. It would also be a bad plan if at least two of three in each group AT CONFERENCE: were not in favor of it, she said. After the discussion a vote was taken and it was decided by a seven to two vote that the ap- proval procedure suggested by Lewis be used. Following the vote Lewis moved that the committee approve the plan that was presented, by the sub-committee but with some qualifications. To Add Procedure One qualification suggested was that during the summer procedu- ral matters be worked out and added to the plan, and the plan be presented to the Regents for approval only after the three ele- ments were allowed to see what procedures had been worked out. Miss Maier said since the pro- cedural questions weren't to be considered by this group that perhaps it might be best not to vote on the plan. She said in many cases procedures could be more important than functions. Lewis said, however, the pro- cedures would be worked on by the administration, the summer (interim) SGC and members of the faculty senate so that all sides could aid in the decision, Consider Points It was then decided to con- sider th eplan point by point, changing areas of disagreement and then approving the plan as a whole. With the exception of minor wording problems, the majority of the discussion concerned referral, both the type of referral and the committee to handle it. Even when considering the committee on referral, most 'of the discussion centered around wording. However, some of the debate centered on the length of the terms of the members, as well as the means, if any, of selecting alternates if a member was un- able to attend. Should Serve Term Wise moved that on the com- mittee of referral, the president of SGC should serve for the length of his term and that the other student should serve for one SGC session. Administrators should serve for one year, he sug- gested. This motion was defeated. Finally after many members of the committee voiced, their fears that there was a good chance any alternates that are chosen for a certain meeting might be chosen or thought to be chosen just because of the way they would vote on the individual is- sue, Lewis made a motion that included within it the motion made by Wise. His motion in addition provided that any alternates could be ap- proved by the committee on re- ferral at its discretion. After amendments were added that designated the terms of the fac- ulty on the referral committee, the motion passed. Soon after the walkout of Wise the remaining committee mem- bers approved the tentative plan by a vote of seven to one. The only dissenting vote was cast by Miss Maier. Following the vote, Gregg said that the basic idea of substantive review can possibly be dangerous. But, he added, it can easily work to the benefit of SGC.

Mersand Stresses Teaching Students To Love Literature I I By FRED LEWIS Joseph Mersand, president of the National Council of Teachers of English, talked on the teaching of secondary school English in Angell Hall yesterday, emphasiz- ing the desirability for teachers to implant in students an ever- lasting appreciation of literature. Inaugurating the University's summer series of lectures to Eng- lish teachers in high schools, Mer- sand suggested three methods for bringing about this appreciation, First, he said, there should be a shifting of the traditional classi- cal curriculum toward one of more enjoyable contemporary works. Against Traditional Course The teacher should cater to the individual's likes and dislikes rather than dictate set instruc- tion. The length of reading as- signments should be varied to ac- commodate divergent "mental en- dowments" and reading skills, he said. Second, the speaker suggested that the class be fragmented into groups determined by ability, pro- moting maximum benefit for all. Third, Mersand requested that English teachers steer away from heretofore dominant and burden- some literary analyses and, rath- er, encourage group-oriented dis- cussion, all the while relating the facts on hand to reality. Teacher as 'Catalyst' To effect this, the teacher should no longer be looked on as an old-fashioned instructor, but as a "catalyst," making sugges- tions to, and guiding along largely independent groups. Mersand mentioned that the reading deficit of 25 to 40 per cent of high school students, incdrred by virtue of inferior grade school preparation, was a redoubtable obstacle to literature appreciation courses. Nevertheless, he asserted, the slower students could derive plea- sure from readings at their level. Praises Anthologies The lecturer praised the anthol- ogies for their "thematic and hu- man" approach conducing liter- ary interest among high school students and a relation of what might be otherwise rather boring to the living everyday world. "Far are we from the pedagogi- cal Middle Ages," Mersand said, when all had to conform to a strict norm.
