The third annual "Ugly Man
Contest" sponsored by Central's
Inter-Fraternity Council almost
died at the starting gate.
The contest which was scheduled to start Monday and continue through this Friday, will
initiate this year's March of
Dimes Drive in Isabella
County. The contest has been
extended until Tuesday.
The fraternity men on
campus who annually work
to raise funds for tho March
of Dimes use tho selection of
lhe "ugliest man" eb the
stimulus for inior-feaiorniiy
competition in the drive.
A story in last weeks LIFE
stated the above along with the
supposed (at the time) fact that
the fraternities would have all
of this past week to canvass
Mt. Pleasant, the outlying
county, and the CMU campus.
The Mt. Pleasant Daily
Times-News picked up the
story and contacted Don Roesner, Isabella county chairman
for the March of Dimes, in the
hope of getting additional information.
Roesner said that he didn't
know of the IFC's part in the
Drive mainly because he stated
This is the first year that I've
had anything to do with the
Drive."
Furthermore Roesner a i
first claimed that the IFC
would have to drop their part
in the Drive—at least as far
as soliciating of city and
county residents was concerned.
Monday evening when he appeared at the weekly meeting
of the IFC Council, Roesner
said that he had originally
planned to promote a "Mother's
March" through Mt. Pleasant,
and the surrounding county
Thursday, Jan. 28.
But after considering the job
that the fraternities have done
in the past, he decided to let
the IFC go ahead with their
canvass next Monday and Tuesday in the city and county.
One of the deciding factors
■vas the manpower that the IFC
could put on the Drive (approximately 300 men), and that they
collected over 81400 last year—
moie than any other group in
the county.

Central is running a S5 million construction program this
year," said Vice President in
charge of finance Norval Bovee.
Central has been adding a
building a year for seven years,
but this year we embarked on
a program to build two residence halls, a student center
and a food commons. Because
of this spurt of using much
money and building CMU probably won't build any self-liquidating buildings next year.
The question,  "Why are we
building a new student  union
instead of a new classroom or
two?" has been asked by a few
academically minded students.
Bovee   says   in   answer   to
the    "simple    question"    the
school   has   to  wait   for   the
State Legislature to appropriate   funds   for   a   classroom
which is not self-liquidating.
"Whon students enter a new
classroom,   it   is   completely
paid for by state appropriations,"   Bovee   explained.   A
music building, being a semi-
academic building,  does  pay
for itself.
In the adverse direction we
don't have to wait for the Slate
Legislature to build a self-liquidating building, which pays
for itself through use. The student center earns money from
students purchasing cokes, food
and using the entertainment facilities.
Central can afford only one
years growth of three, four,
or   five   hundred   mors   stu
dents with the present housing and academic accommodations.

anything that isn't a law, but
they can do anything allowed
a law. There is no law saying
a state operated school can
take money from student fees
and tuition to help pay for
non self-liquidating buildings,
so CMU is prevented from
building classrooms without
permission from the Legislature.
The Legislature has appropriated money when CMU
needed and requested it in the
past. Also they have been more
lenient when they had more
funds. However, since the
state's financial condition is upset, the Legislature doesn't
have the freedom to distribute
freely.

Players
BY BETTY LONGNECKER
The ample liberties taken in
the staging of "The Taming of
the Shrew" made it a delightful
exhibition for both the theatre
goer who knows and understands Shakespeare down to the
final period and for the uninformed who had never read the
comedy.
Presented in the surroundings
of the nineteenth century;'the
Canadian Players, aided by vocal interjections which had a
slightly modern sound and appeal, were able to satisfy the diversity of the audience. Approximately 3,000 people attended the performances of the
two plays.
Max Helpmann as Petru-
chio and Tudi Wiggins as the
shrewish maiden Kaiherina
stole the show. Their easily
interpreted actions made
their roles understandable
while the importance of other
characters was lost if the listener was unfamiliar with the
play.
The slapstick quality found
in several of the minor parts
was especially pleasing to the
younger element of the audience. It was reminiscent of the
Max Senett silent movies when
the scenery changes were executed when a minor actor blew
a whistle.
Perhaps it is this adaptability
of Shakespear's plays which
continues to make them so enjoyable and profitable.
Comparison of the two performances   would   be   inadequate because of the contrasting type of appeal. It remains
though   that   "The   Cherry
Orchard"   did   not   seem   to
have the co-ordination which
the   afternoon's   performance
had.  Perhaps,  this  could  be
attributed   to   the   fact   that
Russian plays are notoriously
"low temperature" material.
Jacqueline    B a r n e 11    who
played the part of the widow
trying to escape the reality of
the   moment   seemed   to   stop
short of complete believability.
Her   inability   to   bare   the
play's motif of man's inability
to adapt himself to the current
situation made  the play's impact   weak.   This   clearness   of
characterization  seemed  to  be
lacking elsewhere in the play.
A notable exception was Max
Helpmann who emerged easily
in his role of the new-rich.
Basic scenery for the "The
Taming of the Shrew" was
transformed into the rather
somber atmosphere needed for
the Russian tragedy. Louvered
screens dominated the background in both productions but
with totally different effects.
In the comedy they were decorated with brightly colored
fishnets to keynote the mood
while dark tapestries forewarned the audience of the
tempo of the evening's performance.
A sidelight to the performance is the natural style of
make-up which the cast used.
Within the smallness of the
auditorium this type of
malce-up soomed more adequate than lhe rather startling effects which more daring  make-up  men  have  at-

From 1939 to 1959} a span of
0 years,  Charles LeRoy Ans-
iach    was    Central    Michigan
College's   most  prominent   fig-
re.
For over two decades now,
Dr. Anspach has been one of
'he foremost educators iii
America. Before* his acceptance
of the Presidency of Central
Michigan College in 1939, he
had had experience in industry
as well as in education.
His industrial experience
from 1916-1922 includes Assist-
ant Manager of the Service Department for Chevrolet; Corespondent in the Credit Divi-
S1°n of Willy's-Overland Inc.;
and Hess and Clark.
Anspach started his educational career in 1923 as Registrar of Ashland College In Ohio
^d continued as Fellow, University of Michigan; Dean, Ash*
la"d College; Head of the Department of "Education, and
"ean of Administration, Miction State Normal College at
'Psilanti; President of Ashland
College; and finally President
of Central from 1939 to 1959,
At present, since his retirement, in June, Dr. Anspach has
undertaken a position in one of
the newest modes of education—educational television.
Dr. Anspach is the co-ordin-
ator of the Central Michigan
Television Education Council,
which is made up of 13 school
systems. Next year there will
be 20 schools in the system.
The Council is supported by
a grant of §30,000 from the
Ford Foundation and supplemented by the membership fees
from the schools. The time for
the programs is donated by the
stations—a total of approximately §80,000.
This new medium of instruction is enriching and improving
the education program.
"It has been proven that children learn as well or better
with television," Anspach said.
He also said that fear of inattention never comes up, because the student must pay attention because the lesson or illustration only comes on the
screen once. With educational
television, slower youngsters
tend to learn faster. This was
proven by an experiment in
Haggerstown, Md.
Children who have classes by
television learn to take notes
and  take  them  well,  because
they have to rely on them
more.
In North Carolina they have
statewide educational television. The English professors
at the University of North Carolina observed that the students who had had television
classes were far advanced, were
better speakers, and read more
than most of their fellow students.
Anspach said that educational television is definitely
here to stay.
Experiments are still being
conducted in the field. Mostly
in the role of the teacher in the
follow-up of the telecast.
Dr. Anspach will be working
in educational television for
five months, at the end of
which he will be employed as
a consultant on Teacher Education for the Ford Foundation.
In his leisure time, he plans
to publish a book on how to
build a speech, using his own
speeches as examples.
Also Dr. and Mrs. Anspach
plan to fish and travel-possibly
to places such as Hawaii, South
America, Africa, and Europe.
They are planning to spend
February and March in Arizona
and the Southwest.

Self-liquidation,

buildings that have a means of
income, is simply letting a
building pay for itself through
use over a 15-20 year period.
Central has ten such buildings; Sloan Hall, Ronan Hall,

Calkins Hall, Tate Hall, Trout
Hall, Barnes Hall, Robinson

With final exams creeping up on Central students much
of last Thursday night's Student Administrative Advisory
Council meeting was centered around the topic of cheating on
exams.
The Council agreed that factors contributing to cheating
stem from three main areas:
1. Professors use the same
tests year after year.
2. Cheating becomes a necessity for many students as some
students have access to test
answers.
3. Cheating in college is a reflection of the generally low
standards in business and politics in the professions.
Methods for reducing
cheating were discussed; the
responsibility of student to
report cheating, that the faculty should be more careful
about tests and the necessity

Students interviewed by
LIFE reporters this week do
not think, by and large, that
cheating is a serious problem
here.
Comments on the prevalence
of cheating ranged from "not
too important a problem" to "a
lot of students, especially male
students, will cheat if there is
any chance of it at all."
Estimates of how widespread cheating is vary, but
in general students felt it depended on the class.
"I would say that the percentage of students cheating on
exams would depend on the instructor of the class they were
in," Jean Allen, Carson City
sophomore, said.
Peeking   on   other   people's
papers  and  taking  a  "pony"
to class seem to be the most
common methods of cheating
according to these students.

sophomore,   said   "a   group   of
students will talk, signal or just

Veterans under Public Law
550 and students under Public
Law 634 who are graduating
this semester should report to
the Admissions Office after
Jan. 20 to sign monthly reports,
Austin J. Buchanan, director of
admissions, "reports.
Other students will sign their
monthly reports in the Registrar's Office during the week of
Jan. 25 after their, last examination.
Students Who will not return
for the second semester will be
covered for Jan. 1-29. Buchanan suggests, .that students
who know they won't return
let Mrs. Davis at the Admissions Office know.
Veterans should report to the
Veterans' table at registration.
The Admissions Office must
hold the January report until
the veteran returns for the
second semester. This makes it
imperative that veterans report
at registration.
Money so raised is spent for the
construction and furnishing of
the building. Through the years
the investors realize a small interest on their investment and
eventually get their principal
back when all of the bonds are
retired."
When    a    self-liquidating
building  is  built,  the   school
has   to   pledge   equity.   The
equity pledged is the income
from other, already built self-
liquidating buildings. The income from these buildings is
grouped together so the self-
liquidating buildings  are  not
considered  separately, but as a
lump sum of money to work
with. Therefore, on the school
records, none of the buildings
are paid for because their income    has    been    re-pledged
over and over.
Bovee    said    that    if    CMU
ceased building this year, all of
the    self-liquidating    buildings
would be paid for in from 12 to
17  years,  but  since  new  self-
liquidating buildings are added
the process goes on.
Central has come close to
the mortgage extension limit
and now has to borrow cautiously, but Bovee added,
schools "always reach this
point." CMU has a plant of
S14 million, owes about Sll
million and owns a S3 million
equity.
This situation has arisen because of two factors. Enrollment has forced a rapid growth,
new buildings, faculty, etc., and
money was used rapidly to accommodate the growth.
The second reason is that the
first dormitories' were built to
accommodate two persons to a
room. The increase in the number of students forced the housing office to crowd these residence halls with three or four
students in each room. Therefore CMU had an addition to its
income from the residence
halls.
The new dormitories are built
in sections which house four
persons to a suite. Four is .the
limit to these suites and income
from four persons is what is al-
vides the funds for the initial
construction cost, the State
Legislature sometimes provides
the land, maintenance services,
the student body pays a reasonable fee for board and room
and the college acts as a coordinator in the operation of such
buildings."

said   "Instructors  should  do   a
good  job   of  teaching  so   that
cheating isn't necessary."
Doug Falls, Cleveland junior,
said "a students values and

The 100,000m volume to be added to the University Library on Wednesday, January 20, will be A Short History of
Scientific Ideas, by Charles Singer, according to Miss Mildred
Gingherick, head of the Library's cataloging department.
An open house will be held-i
in the Library from 1-5 p.m.,
Wednesday, January 20, commemorating this significant
milestone in the Library's development. The dedication* ceremony will be held in the Reference Room of the Library at
3:00 o'clock.
Dr. David Morgan, Director
of College Relations, Dow
Chemical Company, Midland,
Michigan, has informed the Library that the Dow Chemical
Company will present an eight-
volume set of The Encyclopedia
of Chemical Reactions to the
Library at th& dedication ceremony.
The eight volumes in this
valuable set will mark the beginning of the Library's progress toward the 200,000th volume.
Dr. Malcolm Filson, Head of
the Department of Physics and
Chemistry, stated, that the en
cyclopedia is a work that has
been needed by the Chemistry
faculty and students and that it
will be a valuable reference
tool.
Dr. Morgan will speak upon
the' significance of the library
to teaching and research in a
university during the dedication ceremonies at 3:00 o'clock.
President Judson Foust will
formally dedicate the 100,000th
volume to the Library After
the ceremonies, visitors may
tour the library or have coffee
in the Library Staff Lounge.
Faculty members, students
and' townspeople are welcomed
to the open house in the Library and to the Instructional
Materials Center in Rowe HalL
Which also will hold an open
house in observance of the
event. The Clarke Historical
Library is expected to be of
particular interest to visitors.
for instructors to prepare new
tests each semester.
It was generally agreed that
there should be rigorous restriction of materials taken to
the examination room. The
council discussed destroying
mimeographed test stencils as a
possible method of quelling
cheating.
A discussion of the faculty
attitude towards cheating was
held with the suggestion that
the faculty needs to take a preventive attitude rather than
one which emphasizes catching
and  punishing cheaters.
The Council decided that a
firmer stand by both faculty
and students could help reduce
cheating as could a more uniform policy for cheating.
The    members    were    reminded of the Faculty Senate
Policy passed in  May,  1959,
which   says.   "An   instructor
who    discovers    a    student
cheating has an obligation to
fail the student in the examination or project or for the
course and report the case to
the Personnel division."
A    "pay-by-mail"    plan    for
dormitory room and board fees
was explained by N. C. Bovee,
vice president of business and
finance. Students who want to
pay their fees by check could
fill  out  a  form   and  envelope
supplied by the University and
make   their   check   payable   to
the   University   for   the   exact
amount.
The students would put the
packet into a drop slot recently
installed in the student bank.
This would help eliminate ' the
lines at the student bank during dorm fee time.
Mr.  Bovee also  said he  is
investigating    the    possibility
of establishing somewhat the
same   system   to   be  used  in
paying tuition and fees during registration.
The negative  attitude which
seems to persist on the Council
was discussed.  A  student said
that    he    thought    attacking
Council problems in the negative vein rather than the positive  led to  an  ineffective and
non-functional group.
He suggested that the only
positive action taken by the
Council was to have post cards
sent to off campus students giving the date their quarters were
to be inspected.
Positive measures that have
been taken by the Council,
such as improved student bank
facilities, the assessment of
parking fees, and the change in
selection of students to the
faculty-student committees
were discussed.
LIFE'S coverage of the
Beaver Island story was criticized as being inaccurate. It is
suggested that LIFE might
have a column devoted to administrative notices and policies.
