CENTRAL MICHIGAN COLLEGE. MT. PI FASANT, MICHIGAN, MAY 6, 1959
NUMBER TWENTY-FIVE
Central students go to the
polls tomorrow, May 7, to vote
for Student Body officers and
[or class officers. Both the
newly-formed University party
and the Campus party are running candidates for nearly every
office on the slate.
Votes may be cast between
the hours of 9 a.m. until 5 p.m.
in polling stations in all dormitories, Keelcr Union and Warri-
ner lobby. Students will be required to present their activity
card at the polling stations.
The University party was
formed in Keeler Union over a
cup of coffee by Tom Bloemsma
who is running for Student Body
President. As soon as a charter
can be formed, the party will
formally become a campus organization.
The weather is wonderful
for a campaign" and "the posters
are amusing" so "the election
Thursday for campus offices
should be a success," seems to
be the general opinion on Central's campus.
Any tree or bush on campus
that doesn't have at least one
poster on it, should consider itself a social outcast. As Willie
Watson, Sandusky junior, put it,
"You can't walk 10 feet without
seeing another poster of a candidate."
Interest in the office of Student Body President is especially high this year, because Central is becoming an university.
Also stimulating interest is the
fact that four candidates—Del
Baerwolf, Tom Bloemsma, Dar-
rel Jacobs, and Lemuel Tucker
—are running for the office of
Student Body  President.  Only

Entries for the homecoming
theme contest are due next Friday, the Student Senate has announced.
Full-time students and campus
organizations may enter as often
as they wish in the contest.
Each theme must be accompanied by a definition of the theme
title and suggestions for its use
in the parade floats and house
decorations.
Entries must be submitted to
Cammie Stevenson, 313 Calkins
or Carolyn Taylor, 205 Sloan.
The Student Senate will judge
the themes on a basis of originality and suitability.
The person or organization entering the winning theme will
receive a $25 prize.
RONAN OPEN HOUSE

and faculty at an open house
and tea Sunday from 2-5. All
members of faculty are cordially
invited.
Central Michigan College will
act as host for the regional Alpha Phi Gamma, national journalism honorary fraternity, convention to be held May 8 and
and 9.
According to Dr. Guido Stem-
pel, convention chairman, approximately 10 colleges are expected with a total registration
of 50 student journalists from
the mid-west area.
The convention will be highlighted by Mr. Carl Lind-
slrom, former executive editor of the Hartford (Connecticut) Times who Will opook at

°n the Lansing State Journal

two candidates usually ran for
this position in past years.
"It's better this year, because
of more advance publicity. People are talking about it," says
Nancy Huck, Frankfort sophomore. People are talking about
the abstract quality of some of
the posters, but have they given
any consideration to what the
candidate stands for? Alice Des-
Jardins, Cass City senior, feels
that "there could be more campaigning  about  platforms."
"As the college grows, the importance of the President of the
Student Body should grow with
it, but no student government is
as good as it could be, regardless of how the college is
named", says Dean Louise
Sharp.

Dr. Charles L. Anspach, president of Central Michigan
College since 1939, last night announced his decision to resign effective July  1.
But he told 410 faculty members and wives gathered in Calkins dining room for a birthday
dinner honoring him and Mrs.
Anspach that he had requested
that he be allowed to stay on as
president emeritus.
The president's resignation
will not be official until it is
accepted by the State Board
of Education. The next scheduled meeting of the Board is
May 27.
The president said the decision had not been an easy one,
but that he felt "this is the time
when you need a new leader at
your helm."
The presisdent, in announcing
his plans to stay on as president
emeritus, pledged his loyalty to
the incoming president.
"I pledge to your president
and mine all the loyalty and
all the support that's due him
and that we  can give,"  the
President said.
The speech came as the climax of a dinner sponsored by
the Faculty Men's Club and the
Faculty Women's Club as part
of the recognition of the Ans-
pach's   20  years  of  service  to
Central Michigan College.
Earlier Prof. Hazel Emry,
president of the Faculty Women's Club, had presented as that
group's birthday present to Mrs.
Anspach a $75 scholarship in
Mrs. Anspach's name. The scholarship will go to a junior or senior woman on a teaching curriculum.
Prof. Frank Myers, president of t h e Faculty Men's
Club, presented a watch to the
President and also announced
the formation of a short term
loan fund in the president's
name.
Then the President began the
traditional "State of the Union"
message that he has always
given at his birthday party.
There was no hint of what
was to come as he started out
talking of the future of Central
Michigan as a university. He
said he had no fear of the quality of the institution.
"When you have good people
and good teachers and individuals who understand, quality
will take care of itself," the
President said.
When the President finished
he was given a standing ovation.
Approximately five per cent
i of next fall's freshman students
' will not have to take English
101—freshman composition—ac-
I cording to a  recent announce-
' ment by Dr. John Hepler, head
of the Department of English.
Dr. Hepler gave the following
j explanation of how the program
will operate.
Freshmen   who   place   above
I the 95th percentile on the bat-
' tery of A.C.E. tests which enter-
! ing students take during orien-
j tation  week  will  be  asked   to
write a composition in the English 101 section for which they
register.
If their writing is of high
enough quality, they will be
taken out of the English 101
classes and be reassigned to
English 102 sections.
Dr.  Hepler stated that the
aim of this English program is
to provide a higher level of
work for which the more advanced freshmen are prepared
and   in   so   doing  provide   a
greater stimulus for learning.
The  students  who   obtain   a
grade of 'A' in English 102 in
this program will be allowed to
elect a three-hour English course
which will be a replacement—
as far as semester hours are concerned—for English 101 from
w'hich   they   were   exempted.
Those   students   who   obtain  a
lower grade will be required to
take a three-hour course in advanced composition.
This is an experimental pro-
grom being tried for the first
time here at Central. Several
College officials were asked
what significance this development would have.
Dr. Judson Foust, vice president of general and academic
administration, replied that if
the results of the English department's program are favorable, other departments might
set up similar programs.
Both Mr. George Lauer, dean
of records, and Dr. Daniel Sor-
rells, dean of students, indicated
willingness to go along with the
English program.
