Irwin, Thalman Nickell Elected ASC Officers
The All-Student Council for the 1946-47 school year was sworn in at a Memorial Union meeting Tuesday night, with Howard "Rope" Engleman, newly-elected president, in charge.
Council business included the selection of the top Committee on Committees, discussion of basketball tickets for next year, a report on the Negro housing situation, and an amendment to the ASC constitution.
Officers of the council, elected at the meeting, were John Irwin, vicepresident; Elaine Thalman, secretary, and Wendell Nickell, secretary. Nickell was re-elected.
Engleman, winner over Nickell in the campus election earlier this month, had another minor contest with his former opponent during the appointment of committee members. Engleman appointed Glenn Warner, Irwin, and Emily Stacey, but Nickell challenged his choices.
"I'd like to remind the president that a member from each political party plus one from the organizations must be on the committee," he said. "It doesn't seem to me that sufficient consideration has been given in choosing the members of this important committee."
"So far, you have chosen all Pacchacamacs, forgetting that politics shouldn't enter into the work of the council."
Engleman thanked Nickell for "putting me right on that point," then added:
"However it may seem to you, I am not appointing people because of political affiliations. I was considering those who have served capably before and have a little experience. No one feels more sincerely than I that party warfare must cease, now that the election is over."
He then appointed Nickell to the Committee on Committees, instead of Irwin.
The council voted to send Irwin and Owen Peck to ask the athletic and business office to work out a plan to have no basketball ticket in next year's activity books, to reduce the price of the activity book and to place basketball tickets on sale to students for two weeks before the season opens. They will request the "season" tickets to cover alternate games, so twice as many students may see some of the play.
Helen Howe, also on that committee, reported that Irvin Youngberg, University housing director, has assured her that "no single Negro men will be turned down for rooming accommodations next year." Youngberg explained that married couples will be on a "first come, first served" basis, she said.
Franzene Jackson, chairman of the committee on Negro housing, reported that investigation disclosed that most Negro students live in generally poor quarters, too far from the campus, poorly lighted, and with inadequate closet space.
An amendment to the constitution was passed to change the number of committee members from five to three. The change now goes to Chancellor Deane W. Malott for his approval.
A sub-committee of the scholarship committee was appointed to learn whether the University wishes to exchange students to South America or Russia. Carolyn Nigg, scholarship group chairman, presented a letter from the U.S. state department to the campus YMCA, explaining that the government is providing travel and maintenance funds for qualified students on such exchanges.

Danforth Fellow Goes to Chicago Post
Jeanne Ackley, recent Danforth graduate fellow, has gone for a short visit to her home in Columbus, Ohio, before taking a position as secretary of the Y.W.C.A. at the University of Chicago.
Miss Ackley assisted numerous religious organizations on the campus since September. A farewell dinner was given for her at Henley house.
A Danforth fellow is a graduate who has been voluntarily interested in student religious life, and has been awarded a fellowship grant enabling her to spend a year in residence on a college campus. The fellows are not official representatives of any national organization but they spend a year learning and contributing as they may to all student religious activities and organizations. They are not obligated to join any particular organization after completion of the fellowship.
The Danforth graduate fellow is provided for by William H. Danforth of St. Louis, Mr. and Mrs. Danforth gave the University its newest building, Danforth chapel.

Hughes Concludes Marriage Forum
Knowledge of human anatomy is not a knowledge of sex, the Rev. C. Fosberg Hughes of the Plymouth Congregational church told students attending the final lecture of the Love and Marriage forum Tuesday in the Union. He spoke on the "Moral Aspects of Marriage."
Earlier lectures in the series, which was sponsored by Y.W. and Y.M.C.A., were presented by Dr. Raymond Wheeler and Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, Arthur Partide introduced the Rev. Mr. Hughes.
"Sex has no single purpose," the Rev. Mr. Hughes said. "It provides for the reproduction of man and for his emotional maturity."
Discussing the meaning of marriage, the speaker declared that "marriage is the height of moral obligation, neither a control device nor a communal enterprise."
Adequate preparation for marriage is the only cure for divorce, he maintained.
And We Thought The War Was Over
A discussion period followed the lecture. Evaluation forms were passed out to determine student reaction to the forum in lieu of establishing similar programs next year.

OPA Boosts New Car Prices From Four To Eight Per Cent
Washington. (UP)—New automobiles will cost you from $33 to $167 more than former ceiling prices.
Dr. McGregor said that at present business research may be compared to "Topsy" because it is "just growing." He told of work done by business research bureaus, including studies of management problems and business trends.
The OPA boosted prices another 4 to 8 per cent yesterday in granting the third price increase this year. OPA promised consumers, however, that there will be no further price advance "until actual operating experience at normal volume is available."
The new ceiling prices apply to all new passenger automobiles made by Chrysler, Ford, General Motors, Hudson, Nash-Kelvinator, Packard, and Studebaker.
