ANN ARBoR. Mich. Aug. 27.
The University of Michigan
Board Of Regents yesterday fred
two faculty members who had
been suspended for refusal to
answer questions put to them
by q House Un-American Activ-3
tiles subcommittee. Another
faculty member. suspended for
the same reason, was reinstated.
Dismissed were DIR. H. Chand-
Ter Davis. %, a mathematics
instructor, and DR.. Mark Nicker-
son, 38, an associate professor
of pharmacology. The regents
reinstated DR.. Clement Markert.
81. an assistant professor Of
zoology. The regents action ap.
peared final, with no avenue of
appeal.
A Federal grand jury in Grand
Rapids Wednesday Indicted DR..
Davis on rs counts of contempt
of Congress for refusing to an
swer questions at the subcom-
mittee's hearing in Lansing,
Mich, last May.
The three faculty members
were suspended by President
Harlan H. Hatcher after they
stood on constitutional grounds
in refusing to answer the ques-
lions put by the committee deal
ing with current or past con-
nections, If any, with the Com
munist Party. DR.. Markert and
DR.. Nickerson invoked the fifth
amendment. DR.. Davis cited the
first amendment on free speech.
"Underhanded," Says Nickerson.
DR.. Nickerson said the regents
action was "a serious blow to
freedom of thought"
He denied that he had taken
part in any political activities
that were "subversive or not in
the best interests Of the United
States" He said he would not
make any blanket denounce-
ment" of any political party
Republican or Communist.
1T was very underhanded," he
continued, ito drag this thing
on for four months and make
a decision when the faculty is
not on campus"
DR.. Nickerson said the COM
mittee on Academic Freedom
and Integrity of the University
Senate. composed of faculty men,
had recommended unanimously
that he be reinstated after his
suspension. But. he said. the
regents apparently decided that
the faculty is not the best judge
of a mans fitness to teach"
DR.. Hatcher, announcing the
regents action, said the vote on
dismissing DR.. Davis was unani-
mouS-8-0. DR.. Nickerson was
discharged on a vote Of I'll.
One Unit Asked Retention.
Or. Hatcher said his Special
Advisory COMMITTEES separate
group-had voted 81 to REIN
state DR.. Nickerson with a severe
reprimand. However. the pres
ident added, the dean and Ex-
= ecutive Committee of the Medi-
cal School where DR.. Nickerson
taught recommended unani-
mously that he be dismissed.
DR.. Hatcher said both Dr.
Nickerson and DR.. Markert had
acknowledged former member
ship in the Communist Party
but that DR.. Nickerson does not
disavow party membership. He
said that DR.. Markert had with
drawn from the party and in
view of his present attitude
toward the party" the regents
felt dismissal was justified.
DR.. Davis and DR.. Markert
were reported out of the city and
unavailable for comment.
The regents action was one
OF q number Of repercussions
from the subcommittee hearings.
Several Flint auto workers and
Detroit and Wayne University
teachers were fired in the wake

year Of high school. I have many
friends at school. and have q boy
friend who Is now In Japan. His
family as well as those Of other,
pals. frequently invite me to their
homes for meals. ! cannot repay
their hospitality as mother re-
fuses to let me have any guests
for meals; in fact, she doesn't
like me to have any visitors.
Lack Of money Is not the reason,
since both she and Dad have
good jobs. I'd be more than will
ing to do all the work involved,
as ! am quite capable around
The kitchen. Now, she doesn't
want me to write to my boy

s Arf 81
Genevive is a nice girl, but
she's past the age when most
girls are married, and she doesn't
know why. All her friends, ex-
cept eligible men, recognize her
virtues and are certain she
would make some man won
derful wife, They keep telling
her to "just wait. the right man
win come along some day and
sweep you off your feet" Some
where" tthey don't seem to have
the foggiest notion where)
there is a wonderful man just
waiting for you.'
If Genevieve or any other girl
is fooled by this kind of talk,
she had better wake up today
and take stock of herself. It's
high time for her to begin to ask
what's the matter with her.
Other girls are married. Other
men recognized their merits.
What has she done to prevent
them from recognizing hers?
That's the place for her, to begin
on herself and she might well
make a balance sheet of her
assets and liabilities. I'll neglect
her assets for the moment, al
though I am sure she has many.
What about her liabilities? On
the basis of long observation, my
guess is that she will find some
of them in the following list.
/. You bore people by talking
too much. The girl who keeps
up a steady flow of inane chat
ter. is tiresome. except in very
small quantities. No sane man
wants to have to stand it all his
life.
2. You feel uncomfortable in
the presence, of the other sex.
You have been brought up to
fear men or distrust them. May
be on the other hand, you admire
them too much. You think they
are so wonderful that you can't
be natural with them. The best
cure for this is TO be among them.
more, go out socially with them
and learn how to get along with
all kinds Of them.
8. You are a daydreamer. If
you are always building castles
in Spain and waiting for some
Prince Charming to ride up on
white horse and knock at the
door, it's time to wake up and
go to work.
4. You are overaggressive. It's
one Of the commonest traits
among unmarried women. The
girl may be aggressive in the
sense of being a gold digger and
scare men away by being selfish,
inconsiderate and expensive to
entertain. or she may be aggres-
sive in the sense of trying to
do too much for them. Write
me Enclosing a stamped self
addressed envelope and a dime)
for my little 20-page booklet
This Way. to Marriage" 1t will
give you some pointers.
5. You are always complaining
about something. It may be your
health or your imaginary in
feriority or your job or the way
other people have treated you.
Many a girl has developed a
Whitney" attitude towards life

ANSWER: Your, mother is
doing herself, as well as you, a
grave injustice by not letting you
entertain your friends at home.
She is missing the opportunity
to know your companions, to de-
eide whether they are the sort Of
friends she wants you to have.
No home is so happy as the
one in which young people are
welcomed. Failure to permit
youngsters the privilege of hav-
ing friends visit sometimes leads
to the wrong friendships outside,
with consequences that all too
often make unsavory headlines.
