How much fire protection is
afforded the citizens of Mount
Pleasant, including the university community?
A LIFE survey of four other
fire departments which serve
cities of approximately the same
size reveals that Mount Pleas-
ant's fire-fighting equipment
and staff rank poorly by comparison.
Cities compared were Albion,
Escanaba, Marquette, Niles and
Mount Pleasant. Questionnaires
were sent to fire chiefs of the
respective towns.
Looking io ihe ffuiure, city
officials are aware of ihe in-'
* adequacy of ihe fire, department   and   have   formulated
plans for ihe purchase of- a.
new fire truck. Giiy commissioners Monday night will de-'
cide whether of not io adver-
fe@   Sot- Md's   for   ihe   saew •
equipment!.
Money has been appropriated
in this year's city budget to start
the purchase of new equipment,"
perhaps two years from . now.
According to Larry Collins, city
manager, the fire which struck
the University Plaza April. 7,
was one of the reasons why the
purchase date was moved up. „
It must be pointed out here
that officials at the Palm Sunday fire agree, that if the building had been encircled with fire
trucks at the time the alarm
was turned in, the entire structure still would have burned to
the ground.
The fire had greai headway.,,

Due to a series of stomach disorders that began appearing
yesterday afternoon in residents
of the east quadrangle, health
department officials began examining food samples from the
east food commons.
Richard J. Lichtenfelt, director of food services, said, "A lot
of „ people will probably attribute this thing to the.picnic but
this is just not true. The picnic
had nothing to do ' with this.
Much of this occured after 2
p.m.; prior to the dinner hour.
"The   chances   are.   if   you
were   to   make   a »bei,   if  ii
■turned.' oiii  "io   be   food,   ii
could   have   been   ihe   meat;
possibly ii could have been a
salad dressing.
"If we had to put a finger on
something, if it turns out to be
food, it probably would be the
meat or gravy," Lichtenfelt
said.
Dr. Horace Peace, health
service physician, said that, "the
authority to say what actually
caused this is Dr. E. J. Brenner,
district director of the health
department."
Dr. Brenner said that, it will
be several days before any definite conclusions can be reached
as to the cause of the minor illness of the students.

Dr. Alexander I. Popov.
Chairman of the Department of
Chemistry at Michigan State
University will be the speaker
at a special assembly of senior
chemistry students and staff at
3 p.m. this afternoon in Grawn
Hall.
The Student Court met last
night to consider a charge that
the outcome of recent Most Eligible Bachelor Election was affected illegally by administrative intervention.
Last week, Suzi Dingman and
Nancy Noble presented their
case to the court with the following .statement. "We contest
the election on the grounds that
there was no advanced notification, except to the sororities, of
the election or the election
rules. The writing in of a new
rule on the morning of the election by an individual who has
no authority at any time to
make rules for the AWS activities, challenges the whole principle of democracy."
The statement continued,
questioning the governing of
student organizations and stating a need for revision of rules,
or procedures by administrative
personnel.
The court heard the statement, which .specifically referred to an alledged ruling
which eliminated Jim Berlin as
a write-in candidate, conducted
a brief cross-examination and
adjourned the meeting to investigate further. y
