Ten U-M Delegates Sent For Education Debate In Student Conference
Ten students, including three officers of the Student Association, are representing U-M at the fifth annual session of the National Student Association Congress, being held at Indiana University Aug. 18-27.
Representatives from 300 of the nation’s leading schools will attend the 10-day session.
The delegates from Miami, including Al Freehling, vice president, Fran Bloom, secretary, and Wayne Whisler, treasurer of the Student Association, are: Lee Weidberg, Don and Joan Gregory, Bob Powell, Roger Walker, Joe Rock, Joanne Fleisher and Laddie Gray. Fritz Richter, SA president, was unable to attend the conference because of work.
Purpose of the convention is to bring up problems which the representatives find prevalent on their campuses, and then attempt to solve them with suggestions from other delegates.
Theme for the Bloomington conference is “The Crisis in Education,” which the 700 student leaders will also discuss.
Miami delegates actually have a three-fold task to undertake, according to Al Freehling, SA vice president. #
“We’re going up there to learn about better student government; we’ll come back to teach what we’ve learned, but we mean to find out, in addition, if our affiliation with NSA is rendering the service it should to the university.”
Wayne Whisler is vice chairman for the southeastern region of the national body, and four of its sub-commissions arc chairmaned by U-M students, including the sub-commission on human rights and Latin American relations.
Square Dance Tonight Calls For Informality
Because of popular demand, another square dance will be held tonight in the Student club patio, 8:30-11:30.
Ray Lyles and his orchestra will play for the dance, while Gerry Reese will do the calling. Dungarees and calico are the order of the day, according to Don Staubach, assistant to the director of student activities.
Moist palm gripped moist palm. Above the ^music was heard the voice of Fred Koch, Jr., summoning the spirit of George Washington.
So was the scene at the Ring Theatre as the cast of “Gramercy Ghost" prepared for their opening night (Monday) with a seance.
The event, brainchild of Majel Hudec, who plays Nancy in the show, was entered into with trepidation by all who participated.
Following Koch's solemn intonation to Washington, the music faded Then absolute silence.
Aram Goshgarian and Stewart McDonald, two past U-M presidents, were among those responsible for NSA’s inception in 1947.
Freehling and Whisler will submit reports of thj conference to the first student Senate meeting.
Amvets Elect Dr. Hill
Dr. Amo Hill, U-M speech department professor and vice-commander of local AMVET Post No. 40, was elected judge advocate at the state meeting of the veterans group held in Miami recently.
He Swaps Badge For Old Job
If you noticed something missing
around the Student club lounge yes-
terday, chances are it was the smiling face of Eddie Wright.
The popular campus police officer has returned to his former position as night manager at the Plaza delicatessen in Coral Gables.
Eddie, who worked here through Wednesday, had served at the Plaza for three years prior to accepting the university job a year ago.
His absence will be especially noticeable to vacationing students returning for the fall semester as he had many friends at U-M.
Before departing, Ed expressed his appreciation for the co-operation he always received from the students. “None of them ever caused me any trouble,” he said. “They were all swell.”
His parting shot was, “I hope some of the gang drops around to see me once in awhile.” Beyond a doubt, his wish will be realized.
Suddenly, a furry hand touched Frank Oliver’s shoulder, who plays the role of the Gramercy Ghost. He shouted and leaped from his position in the circle.
The houselights went up immediately, shining on the dozen | frightened spiritualists and “Macbeth,” the Ring's feline mascot. Blissfully unaware of the spell he had just broken, “Macbeth" walked off stage unconcerned.
“I hope something like this doesn't happen during the show," said Doris Alderman, costumer and assistant director. “I was scared stiff.” Washington just might make an appearance anywhere from Aug. 25 to Sept. 6, running dates of the “Ghost” show.
New Real Estate Course To Be Offered In 1953
A real-estate course with field trips is being organized for the 1953 spring semester by William B. Rahn, real estate instructor of the Marketing department.
Rahn describes the course as “a technical approach to every day problems with opportunities to make independent appraisals and confront students with actual marketing situations.”
Students should consult the marketing department for prerequisites.

Now We Know
At the last Pop concert Sunday night, a high-kilowatt spotlight was focused on the bandstand from the rear balcony.
Apparently the strain was too much for the bulb. It blew out, causing a resounding “pop!”
The audience turned, tensely waiting to see what would exude from the rpotlight interior, other than smoke.
Then a voice penetrated the silence as a man with a thick accent stage-whispered, “So this is why they call them “Pop" concerts!”
Drama Senior Stars In Northern Theatre
Another on the list of U-M students who made good in the big city is Jerry Schultz, senior Drama major, and veteran Ring Theatre actor.
Schultz, in the part of Joe Lucasta in the Long Island Old Town Theatre production of “Anna Lucasta” received rave reviews from the drama critics of five Long Island newspapers. Schultz was described in the reviews as “an artist of stellar calibre.”
'Cane Hunter Nearing Home
Arrangements to hoist a metal bloodhound atop the Merrick Bldg, tower are being whipped in shape, but Dr. H. H. Sheldon, dean of U-M’s division of research and industry, makes no promises that the radar unit will be completely installed before hurricane season is over.
The 26-ton hurricane hunter will supplement the existing hurricane tracking facilities, acting as an information point foi the weather services.
Included in the gear is a powerful short-wave broadcasting set which can reach the weather bureau in case of telephone failure.
Assembling of the huge hurricane spotter is expected to take some time Paul R. Ray, student assistant, is assisting Dr. Sheldon, and other student assistants will be appointed soon. Six men are normally needed to handle the equipment.
The University of Florida has been working in this field for several years and has equipment in operation in Central Florida.
Gables Country Club was Maj. Gen. Ernest M. Brannon, judge advocate of the Army.
Gen. Brannon, a native Floridian. reviewed the history of the judge advocate general’s corps and the duties of “lawyers in the Army” in his address.
He warned the students that they all could not be in the judge advocate corps since 1,200 men already are in that category, but he added that their training as lawyers would make them good officers in any branch of service because of their ability to analyze a situation.
According to Gen. Brannon, an Army law career would give the graduates practice in all kinds of law, including criminal, contract, tax, patent and labor law.
Dean of the school, Russell A. Rasco, spoke to the group briefly, advising them of their duties to the “honorable profession."
Two graduates. Miss LaVona l.ahrman and Joseph De Bartolomeo, were given awards for outstanding achievements by Dean Rasco.
As leading article editor for the U-M Law Quarterly, Miss Lahrman received her award for meritorious service. De Bartolomeo was honored for organizing a group of law students to visit, help and entertain orphans at the Kendall Home.
Included as guests at the dinner were local judges, university officials and wives and girl friends of the graduates.
New 'Solution Throttles Moths
If you want to get the moths out of your clothes, the U-M chemistry department has the “solution” for your problems.
Recent experiments show that use of a sufficient concentration of cedar oil plus the correct exposure time will kill 91 per cent of the half-grown moth larvae in clothes.
This information was included in “The Toxicity of Cedar Oil Vapor to Clothes Moths,” by Dr. H. B. Huddle and Dr. A. P. Mills, of the U-M chemistry department. The article was published recently in the Journal of Economic Entomology.
