Textbook Report Is Unsatisfactory to Men's Council
Faculty Committee 'Made No Investigation, According to Resolution'
'NO ANSWERS GIVEN
In reply to the investigation made by the faculty committee relative to a suggested change in the method of selective committee composition, the Council adopted a resolution stating that the faculty committee evidences *o* investigation whatever of specific relevance.
Russel Strobel, c. 32, president of the Men's Student Council said today that the report of the council members and the opinion of all students with whom they had talked, that the report of the faculty was being reviewed in order of changes made only, and not with the specific charges which the Council had against them, understood were be investigated.
The reservation is not art.
Whereas the Board of Regents have
wished to allow students to learn the policy in regard to changing textbooks at the state school; and
Approves Regents Report
Approves Regents' Report
"Whereas we fully agree with the Board of Regents that he be used and authorized books are to be bad but changes should not be made without due consideration; and
"Therefore be it resolved that the Student Council go on Record as apprehended by the Board of Regents in the regulation of changes in textbooks and urging the
"Whereas we believe that the policy outlined by the Board of Regents in regard to changing textbooks is a real concern, it does not constitute a matter of vital concern to students."
"Whereas the Men's Student Council that report the faculty committees to take charge is soover of the specific charges made by the Men's Student Council and many
"Be it resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the Board of Regents and to the Chancellor of the University."
This resolution follows the report of the special committee, headed by Dear Robert McNair Davis of the School of Computer Science, who said that textbooks previously used were in approximately 88 per cent of the classes in the University and by the time they arrived in school it also stated that in 1930, only 26 per cent of the students were affected by textbook changes and in 1931, 174 per cent of the students were so affected.
This report said also that its figures or textbook changes really overrated the situation in that (1) laboratory manuals were regarded as textbooks, (2) revised editions or additional texts were regarded as changes, and (3) the change of one of a group of books was related to change affecting a whole textual text.
The resolution which started the whole matter, presented by the Council to Chancellor E. H. Lankhard on Oct. 18, called for textbook changes" because of the expense to students and contained specific examples of alleged unnecessary or unsavvy content.
Among the charges in this resolution were these changes are often unnecessary because the subject matter of such as mathematics, literature, languages and other subjects in these subjects many times do not differ greatly from the old texts. Hardships are created because there is no market for used books when a student needs to buy books available when changes are made; that parents of students who already have sacrificed to send them to school need hardship, and that during the depression students who work their way through school cannot afford the changes and that light changes should be accompanied by supplies from the professor.
The Board of Regents set up machinery to select textbooks for the five state schools. At that time, Chancellor Lindley told the faculty that this was no infringement of the rights of people made through a consciousness of the hardships many people are undergoing, and that it was in the nature of a notice to "stop, look, and listen", before making changes. He said that the main reason of the Board is making this action was to safeguard the interests of the people of the state.
Machinery Set up
The investigation by the special faculty committee was made to investigate a number of incidents after the action by the Board of Regents. It obtained data from 185 out of the 222 members of the faculty and in 343 courses this fall and 433 last year.

Revival of 'Hex' Murders Feared in Recent Death
Officers Hope Diary Foun Today Will Give Cues to Slayers of Mennonite
MANY NAMES LISTED
Philadelphia, Jan 21—(UP) A diary relating to the thoughts and actions in the prison where the inmate R. Bechtel, Mammonsine church worker found sham with weird symbols carved into his head and body, was found by an investigator in the police investigation of the laying which some believe may be conceived as a cult practiced in parts of Pennsylvania.
Authorities hoped the diary would give a clue to the slayers of the young men who held the contemptuous contained names of many young men and women, some of whom worked in the fields.
Police today turned to a study of the superstitions Pennsylvania Dutch "darwinized" into a belief that Bechtel spent his paycheck. In that victim for more than a century a strange belief in "boxarka" has lived up to America by Germ settlers.
Their strange symbols still are painted on farm buildings in that area. Followers believe these signs ward off diseases and promote spirit of fertility. Literally hundreds of children in that region are given the benefit of "powowo" doctors at birth to ensure health and happiness during their life, so does the feeling break out in violence.
It is believed that the taking of the life does not end the spell of the witch, that the powers merely pass to the body of a relative. But there are cases where murder has been done and the word "murder" is used to have some power to prevent the flight of the evil spirits from the dead body to one that is living.

Directory Editor and Men's Council Clash on Finances
Appropriation Withheld Until Slocum Explains Acceptance of High Bid
MANAGER HAS REPLY
Council Adopts Resolution
A break occurred last night between the editor of the student directory and the Men's Student council when the council resolved to make no further appointment. An explanation was forthcoming with regard to the financing of the directory. Early in the semester the council had adopted a measure with regard to the rule that members must attempt to limit the expense to the council and the W. S. G. A. New, there is a lack of money for the payment of the cost of printing the directory and its editor has asked for further appropriations which the budget has refused pending investigation.
The resolution adopted by the council in its meeting last night read as follows: "In view of the fact that the contract was let to a concern whose bid was too high, the University firm and that the University has withdrawn financial support of $200 without notice to the council, we refuse to contribute further financial assistance required for our studies," he made to the Men's Student Council." Russell Strobel, president of the council, said today that the council was not attempting to cast any suspicions over the editor of the directory, but simply told to know the facts in the matter.
Kenneth Slocum, editor of the student directory, when asked today why the bid had been given to the higher bidder rather than to the lower, said, "The contract has always been such manners was due to the fact that the terms of the contract of the successful bidder gave priority to the student directory to every thing else in the printing shop. And also, because they agreed to give delivery in two days, we were told to stock, and give better service, which was evidenced this year."
Slocum Denies Charge
Sieium also said that the idea that certain influences had been brought to bear on him in order that he would not be left alone, the entirely unfounded. The awarding of the contract was entirely in his own hands, he said, and any action token was ceremonial.
The unassuasive binder, the Douglas County Republican, for the student directory contract when informed of the reason for the awarding of the contract as was done, said that his firm guaranteed delivery of the directory within 36 hours after the last 40 errors in proof had been submitted to his print-
$260 Way Budget Item
With regard to the withdrawal of $200 in University funds without notes to the council, Karl Khoo, bursar, said, "The university's directory was always treated as an emergency measure and had never been an item of budget. When the University budget was curtaded this year, it was deducted from the reduced budget."
Charles F. McCreight, auditor of student accounts, told reporters that the university forbade him from assistance to the publishing of the directory to a deficit exist. Mr McCreight said that the W. S. G. A. had paid $215 to the expenses.
Foster Knew Nothing of Award
Foster Kiew Nothing of Award Raymond Nichols, secretary to the Club of Authors and said that he had informed the editor of the directory that it was doubtful if any funds would be forthcoming from the university this year. Mr. Nichols did say, however, that the University's library was to the directory if it was necessary.
George O. Foster, registrar, stated that he knew nothing of the awarding of the contracts or who had been the director of the copy for the directory was called for.
The bid of the firm awarded the contract—the Journal-World company—was for a flat price of $308 for a direct delivery from a local retailer in Lansing County, Republican, was made at a page rate of $4.70 per page for $2 pages, a total of $83.40, a difference between the two bids of $182.60.
