Major Shuffle

Congress
To Open

Exchange
New

Book Plan
Begins Monday

By TERENCE HUNT
Assistant Managing Editor
Student Congress will open its
student book exchange Monday
in the Student Center TV lounge.
The exchange, resulting from
recent Congress legislation, will
remain open from 10 a.m. to 2
p.m. daily until the last day of
final examinations. It will reopen
for about two weeks in the beginning of the second semester.
Operation of the exchange is
based on a filing system, according to John O'Brien, Congress
vice president. Envelopes for individual courses will be filed in a
box containing all the courses in
each department covered by this
semester's exchange.
Student participation in the
program before Christmas primarily will provide a listing of
buyers and sellers. Most of the
transactions will take place next
semester based on the compiled
listings.
The actual transactions will
be personal contacts between the
students participating. The exchange will provide a listing with
which the students can work,
O'Brien said.
Textbooks covering four colleges will be listed in the exchange this semester: Arts and
Sciences, Education, Engineering, and Commerce.
Congress planners hope the
book exchange will stimulate
better discounts and then Congress can terminate the program,
O'Brien said. The program, as
planned, is not a continuingone,
he added.
A recent Congress newsletter
says "For a long time many
students have felt the bookstores
are not doing their best to cut
prices of textbooks. The Student
Book Exchange is designed to
present an organized market in
which students may buy and sell
textbooks to each other and therefore save money on books."

Bits of the Christmas spirit are beginning to be visible on the
campus even amid term papers and final exams. The annual

the Administration Building and White Hall, the tree is resplendent
with 1,200 lights, donated by Mrs. R. W. Mcllwain, Lexington.

La Grange: The Penitentiary Atmosphere

LA CRANCE A tour of the Kentucky
State Reformatory here can be an
for one whose familiarity with
penology has been limited to a college
sociology course.
The merit of a day's tour through this
penal institution is packed into tlie realization of just having witnessed something
that previously had been contained in
newspaper stories or motion picture plots.
Life at La Crange isn't easier just
because the word "reformatory" is engraved on the administration building's
k bars and solitary
cornerstone. If inc
confinement for up to seven days make a
man a useful member of society again,
then the word has retained its definition.
This state penitentiary isn't operated
like a boarding school with room service
and a
atmosphere. Every

inside the 3,000 acre "city." Chainlink
fence rows capped with barbed wire form
the circumference of the state's youngest
penal institution.
Only men sentenced to life without
privilege of parole and those on death row
are excluded from La Orange's inmate
population, which now totals 1.G56 men.
From the front door frisk to the sensitive
alarm system, this is a prison in every
meaning of the word. Symmetrically-space- d
watch towers are always occupied
by officers who, in case of trouble, can
spring into action with speed and simplicity that only the Strategic Air Command
can parallel.

the disciplinary segment of the institution,
is as tough as the men who are required
to address him as "sir." This former police
chief, who has witnessed more than 20
electric chair executions at Eddy ville, lives
by the code that men work best under rules
that never falter or favor.
To him, the world that lies beyond the
prison's front law n isoneentirely set apart
from the one inside. He hated the last
execution at Eddyville as much as the
first, but feels these are men who must be

Flowers Tells
'New Image'
Of Alabama

NEW YORK (CPS)-Alaba- ma
General
Richmond
Attorney
Flowers is currently on a nationwide tour trying to present an
image of racial moderation prevailing in Alabama.
Last weekend he told about
150
students at the Eastern
Regional meeting of the United
States Student Press Association
that he was heartened by recent
convictions in Alabama racial
cases. In consecutive days, an
state jury convicted the
white slayer of a Negro, and an
Federal jury convicted
three Ku Klux Klansmen for conspiring to violate the civil rights
of Mrs. Viola Creg Liuzzo.
Mr. Flowers said he had been
on nine campuses to speak recently and has been invited to
speak at four others. The
campuses pay his expenses and
he accepts no honorarium he
says. He does use some state
money in his travels, he says,
but "if Cov. George Wallace can
take the state plan around the
country to campaign during an
election, I guess I can use some
state money too," he '.says.
te

She'll love you for this

Col. Arthur Holmes, director
of the Michigan Selective Service
office, called for a "review" of
the files of 26 of the demonstrators. The files were sent to the
Michigan office by boards across
the country; 14 were from
Michigan.
Into each copy, Col. Holmes
had inserted a photocopy of the
Oct. 15 trepass charges.
"We sent the files back to
their local boards," Col. Holmes
said. "We called attention to the
new and added information and
asked them to review each case
on the basis of all the information
on file."
These

reviews

almost

cer-

tainly led to the reclassification
of the four students just as
Col. Holmes had predicted they
would.

The four are Eric Chester, 22,
and David Smokeler, 20, both of
Royal Oak, Mich.; and Ray Luz-zan22, and Patrick Murphy, 19,
n
both of Detroit. All are
at Michigan.
Col. Holmes believes the
a,

upper-classme-

demonstrators violated a portion
of the Universal Military Training and Service Act, the law
under which the whole draft
system operates.
The statute makes it a felony
for anyone to "knowingly hinder
or interfere or attempt to do so
in any way with the administration of this title or the rules
and regulations made pursuant

thereto."

Most of the Oct. 15 demonor student classstrators had
ifications. Col. Holmes said a
"student deferment is given in
the national interest in order to
maintain the educational level of
this country." The Ann Arbor
sit-i- n
did not contribute to that
end. Col. Holmes said, and therefore draft boards had a reason to
revoke the deferments of the students involved.
2--

One of the students who lost
his deferment, Eric Chester, said
he felt it was "intimidation by
draft officials" to show all protestors that they might be inducted immediately." Mr. Chester is president of the University
of Michigan chapter of the Students for a Democratic Society.
The Michigan section of the
American Civil Liberties Union
plans appeal proceedings in
behalf of the four and others who
may be reclassified. Col. Holmes
predicts that more of the 26 whose
files were reviewed will lose their
deferments as local boards get
around to reconsidering their
cases.
The University of Michigan
took the side of the students in
a statement issued by Vice President for Student Affairs Richard
Cutler and Vice President for

studies, and health.
In addition to teaching students at the
average level Darlene has two special groups,
one an accelerated reading class, and the
other a slower moving arithmetic class.
Her reading class, she said, is well into
sixth grade material while the arithmetic
group is working at aii early fourth grade'
level.
Although keeping interest high and being
ready to answer questions about future
material are coustant demands with accelerated students, Darlene pointed out the
range of methodology necessary for teaching
the slower ones.

of presenting one idea to these children,"
she said. "Their attention span is extremely

Darlene Musselman hasn't cut a class
this semester, as any of her fifth grade
classes at Yates elementary school would
quickly tell you.
A senior
in Elementary
Education,
Darlene is one of 79 students doing student
teaching in the public schools this semester.
Next semester the University will have
92 Elementary Education student teachers
with an overall increase of more than 100
in the student teaching program.
An average day at Yates for Darlene
begins at 7:45 a.m. and lasts until between
3:15 and 4 p.m.
At Yates Darlene is on both sides of the
desk. Not only does she teach the
about 50 percent of the time, but
she considers herself a student 100 percent
of the time.
Her supervising teacher. Miss MableCard,
a teacher in the grade for 41 years, said
that the students accept Darlene equally
as well as her in the classroom.
This week Darlene has the class
instruction entirely to herself with her supervisor merely looking in occasionally. This
is an integral part of all student teachers'
work, she said.
Basic courses Darlene teaches are the
Language Arts (including spelling, reading,

short."

Darlene said that as a student teacher
at Yates she is accepted just as another
faculty member, attending faculty meetings
and seminars as well as supervising recess

periods and school bus loading.
"This gives me a view of what it will
be like when I have a class of my own,"
she said.
Darlene, whose home in Florence, Ky.,
plans to teach for a year upon her graduation in May then begin work toward a
Master's degree.
