The Chris Barber Jazz Band will perform in Warriner Auditorium next Friday night the Student Social Activities Committee has announced.
The performance, which will be from 8 to 10:30 p.m., is for
the benefit of Central's loan fund, Men's Union, and AWS.
Many people have scoffed at
Barber's success and have belittled it. Most prominent among
his detractors have been the so-
called "jazz critics" who have
been unable to resist any attempt to "have a go" at the
band.
Barber has been subjected
io criticism because he is honest enough io play music he
likes, and because he, despite
ihe critics, has made a howling
success of it.
His bass playing is an envi

A new Barnstead water still
has been installed in the chemistry and physics department to
meet the needs of increased enrollment in laboratory courses.
According to Dr. W. G.
Thomas, of the chemistry and
physics department, the still
turns out 5 gallons of distilled
water per hour.
Steam is piped into the still
to operate it. The still is made
for using hard water. The metal
tubes and storing tanks of the
apparatus are made of copper
and lined on the inside with
block tin.
This is found to be about the
best way to store distilled water. According to Dr. Thomas, a
glass tank would react with the
water to a slight degree.
The greatest impurity in the
water after it has been through
the still is carbon dioxide, which
it picks up from the air, Dr.
Thomas said. For general purposes the carbon dioxide doesn't
hurt the water.
When extremely pure water
is needed as the case of conductivity measurements of different
solutions in physical chemistry,
the water is boiled to get rid of
the carbon dioxide. This gives
thc same results as distilling it
three times, which takes time.

The Student Senate voted to adopt the United States National Student Association's proposal regarding policies of
student publications and present it to the administration.
During the discussion which
took place Tuesday night, it was
pointed out by Neal Miller,
LIFE editor, that a discrepancy
existed in the policy hetween
function of, and the policies governing student publications.
Miller said, "the newspaper
has a legal responsibility to the
State Board of Education." As
a result, the publication is required to "avoid embarrassing
situations."
In Article 2, Section 1, iho
policy reads: As a function,
ihe publications "should create and express collogo opinion and provide an outlet for
suggestions   for   the  betterment of ihe college."
The discrepancy, according to
Miller, lies in Article 3, Section
2, regarding the function of the
editorial staff. This reads:
"The editorial staffs of student publications should refuse
to print articles which unjustly
or unnecessarily damage the
character of an individual, or
bring ill feeling or contempt
upon the colllege."
Miller pointed out that due to
these discrepancies, LIFE has-
run into difficulty in regard, to
editorials and some stories.
He said he realized that the
college is the publisher of the
paper and that we are involved
I in a student relations deal in
that "we send our publication to
high schools and other publications in the state.
"But" he asked, "Why can't
we have a student policy for
our own unique community
Which this paper directly
serves?"
The college is ihe publisher
in either case, and ihe editor
works directly for ihe publisher, so basically, ihe situation will be ihe  same with
regard io checks on ihe pub-
llcaiion.  "The  newspaper
should work primarily for iho
student body," Miller said.
The rules and regulations set
up by the U.S.N.S.A. in a Student Editorial Affairs   Conference,   primarily   states   that  a
free and vigorous press is necessary to  democracy and tbat
the aim of the student press is
to cultivate freedom of expression within its community.
Jerry Sieracki made the motion to adopt the U.S.N.S.A. proposal to present to the adrftinis-
tration, The motion carried with
a vote of 7-0 with one abstention.
Kathy McGuire was selected
as Senate representative tO IP
with Miller to the administration with the proposition.

The all-time high of 10,000
gallons of oil was consumed by,
the furnaces in Central's heating plant during a recent twenty-four hour period.
This peak was reached on
one of those sub-zero days in
December. The extreme temperature was not the only factor involved. The addition of several
new buildings on campus was a
major contributing factor. The
area now served by the heating
system includes all campus
buildings except Washington
Court and Preston's new unit.
By working seven days a
week, around the clock, the
maintenance crew has attempted
to keep sidewalks, parking lots,
and other areas free of snow and
ice. The crew of eight men utilize four pieces of heavy equipment and numerous smaller implements. Included are three
tractors and a new plow.
The efforts of the crew have
been continually hampered by
the harsh weather. The mam
tenance crew is not complaining
too harshly; they realize that
they're no worse off than anybody else in the State.

The staff of W.C.R.G. prepared a showcase on the main
floor of the library which shows
the operation of the radio station.
Some of the highlights of thc
display are albums which show
the variety of classical, jazz, and
show tunes that is played over
W.C.R.G.
Other highlights include an
actual news script and other
sources from which programs
are obtained.
Along with the showing of the
staff pictorially and by name, is
an invitation to students interested in radio to stop and see the
studio ip. 227 Warriner.
Several students enrolled in
nature study class have started
a research to find out how many
different species of birds occur
on Central Michigan College
campus and the number in each
group.
Directed by Harold D. Mahan,
of the biology department and
Sec.-Treas. of Michigan Bird-
Banders, the group has been
very successful in trapping,
weighing and banding tho birds.
The research hasn't been in
effect long enough to list any
results, hut in the near future
migration routes, weight at different times of the year and life
span of each species will be
known.
Dr. John Hepler and Mr. Ivan
Cole of the English department
are trying an experiment to see
if it is feasible to combine two
English Composition sections
one day a week and then for the
other two class periods divide
1 the sections, as originally
planned, and do lab work.
The lectures in Mr. Cole's 101
English are on the principles of
composition. During the lab periods they discuss and put into
practice what was covered in the
lectures. This is mainly the fundamentals of grammar, paragraph construction and punctuation.
Dr. Hepler lectures on the
Creative Reader during his 102
English lecture period. During
the lab periods they discuss and
analyze the Creative Reader and
write themes.
Dr. Hepler and Mr. Cole are
using affiliate teachers who are
students on campus with English majors. Arlene Hereth, Milwaukee sophomore, and Fred
Wolven, Marysville junior, are
working with Mr. Cole. Working
with Dr. Hepler are Loretta Bar-
czak, Rives Junction junior, and
Naomi Piche, Royal Oak sophomore.
The affiliate teachers are observing the classes, grading papers and confering with the
slower students. They may get
a chance to lecture later in the
course.

Land Purchased
For Catholic
Staferf Center
Michigan teachers now earn
an average yearly salary of
$5,066, the Michigan Education
Association's research department reports.
A study of teacher's salaries
back to 1937 shows that there
were 32,202 teaching positions
then. These instructors were
paid an average of §1,454 per
year.
The higgest jump in total
number of teaching jobs and
salaries paid came between 1956,
when 49,663 teachers were drawing $241 million in wages, and
1957, when 53,171 teachers (an
increase Of 3,508) were paid §269
million.
Big gains have come since
1950. At the end o£ World War
II, through 1949, Michigan
teachers were earning less than
$3,000 annually.
Catholic students are one step
nearer to having their religious
center with t h e purchase of
land one block south of Keeler

students at Central and the need
for a Catholic religious center
has been felt for several years.
