The entire program is spon sored bv the Small Business Ad jminUtration, Washington, DC. She continued, "I believe a revolution in Russia is a long way off because when you give people some material rights, they are going to grumble but 1 they won't lake the chance of losing what they have." Mrs. Roosevelt told her audi ence they would not be able lo understand this unless they thought about it from the stand point of the Russians who had much less 40 years ago than they have now. ★CATHAUM Now: 2:14, 4:04, 5r54, 7:44, 9:34 MJ&ar MMF» TBK ax A From Warner Bros In Warner Color Ag Council to Ask Investigation of Fees The Agriculture Student Council will ask Cabinet tonight to try to find out what the administration does with tha revenue it collects from student fees.

JANUARY 8. 1959 The Bus! ness Administration Student Council has put up new signs over the stairways in Boucke in an attempt to relieve congestion on the stairs during rush hours. The signs near the front stair way read “down only.” The signs over the back stairways read ‘‘up only.” But according to reports at the council meeting last night many students evidently either do not understand or ignore the signs. 1 Council members said they saw a numoer of students going up the front stairs which should only be used during rush hours by stu dents going down. According to Ossian B. Mac- Kenzie, dean of the College of |Business Administration, the one jvvay traffic should be enforced ■only during rush hours. I James Meister, president of the council, said the signs asking stu dents to use the front stairway only when going down and the signs over the other stairways will he the only attempt to re lieve the congestion. Moistor said the council should not have to police the building. If students do not heed the signs, there is nothing more we can do, he said.
