LXIX, No. 105 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1959 FIVE CENTS SIX PA -Daily-Robert Dennis THAT VICTORY SMILE - Last night was a happy day for coach Newt Loken (center) and his gymnastics squad as they downed the always-strong Illinois team, 58-54. Jimmy Brown (left) and Bill Skinner turned in the all-important performances in the final tumbling event, taking firyt and third while teammate Dick Kimball took fourth, to swamp the Illini, 11-5, in that event and take a come-from-behind victory. i e masts Edge Illini, ith Victory in Final Event By FRED KATZ A standing-room-only crowd in the I-M Gymnasium last night witnessed the finest in suspense and college gymnastics as Michi- gan literally tumbled past old rival Illinois, 58-54. It was a come-from-behind vie- tory for the Wolverines, who now have won nine straight dual meets without a loss. Going into the final event, tumbling, Michigan trailed 49-47 and needed to win three of the first four places to gain final victory. Spectators Hushed The huge audience, which at one time appeared to be snickering quietly at the vaunted Illini when they fell far behind, now remained hushed and tense to the point of explosion as the individual tum- blers went through their routines. Loud applause went up for Dick Kimball as he turned in a fine 'U'Library To Abolish aved Seats By PHILIP SHERMAN The "reserved seat" problem in the Undergraduate Libiary will be' dealt with in the near future, ac- cording to Roberta L. Keniston, 'director of the Library. The problem, discussed in a letter published in yesterday's Daily, is that students "save" seats in the Undergraduate Library for absent friends by leaving open notebooks and textbooks on seats and tables. Mrs. Keniston said that the library staff will remove these books between 'the hours of noon and 1 p.m. and 6 and 7 p.m., plac- ing them in the middle of the tables if their owners are not; present. Ineach moved book the follow- ing notice will be placed: "These books were moved from a study place by the staff of the Undergraduate Library. Opened books do snot constitute a seat reservation during the absence of' a student froni the library." These notices are to be placed only during the dinner hours so as not to displace students who are studying and have gone in search' of a book. Mrs. Keniston also'said that, in her opinion, the plan would be suc- bessful because of general student. cooperation that the library staff; has noticed on previous occasions. Though the staff had recognized the problem before, they had re- ceived no student complaints until. yesterday's letter. Hose Burns T T T * T* showing good for fourth. After an Illini tumbler fizzled, Jim Brown came through with a stunning per- formance that topped anything he had ever done before,. perhaps symbolic of the entire team's ef- fort. The fans roared their ap- proval but it wasn't whole-hearted., They still knew that Big Ten runnerup Allan Harvey was due to perform last and if he topped Brown's score of 277, Michigan would have nothing better than a tie. .And no one, especially Coach Newt Loken and }his lithe, muscu- lar crew, was willing to settle for anything less than a win. Not after having these Illini beat them in seven of the last nine seasons' dualI meets.P Grossfeld Fails To Place And so, after Abie Grossfeld, possibly the United States' greatest gymnast, fell out of the running in this, one of his "weak" events, and Bill Skinner finished only six 'points below Brown, the crowd hushed once again. Harvey was on the mats. Four time he looped, flipped and twisted his springy way up and down the canvas strip. The crowd was apprehensive. Michigan's. ner- vous gymnasts huddled near the scoring table around their nervous coach. To the Showers Harvey's scores of 96, 92, 92, 90 and 90 flashed on the judges' cards. A lightning-swift yelp of victory came .from Kimball. The crowd, not as adept at knocking off the high and low scores and adding the three middle ones to get the total, was about three sec- onds behind. Then as Loken was swept onto his charges' shoulders, shower- bound, even the slowest mathema- tician realized that Harvey had scored only 274. The rafters rang to the music of the cheers. Illinois Coach Charlie Pond, whose team had 14 consecutive See GROSSFELD, Page 6 Red Accuses O Macmian MOSCOW (A)-Anastas I. Mi koyan, Soviet First Deputy Pre- mier, last night accused Britain's visiting Prime Minister Harold A. Macmillan of taking a tough line on .Germany in talks with Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev. Speaking at a Rostov-on-Don political rally, Mikoyan challenged the West to sign a peace treaty with Germany or face the fact that the Soviet Union would sign one by itself with East Germany. Mikoyan, who is standing for a seat in the Russian Federation Parliament, delivered his blast at Macmillan while the British Prime Minister was trudging over the fields of a collective farm near Kiev., SCIENCE: Institute May Solve State Crisis A detailed report released yes- terday of Governor G. Mennen Williams' proposed Institute of Science and Technology here showed striking changes in the initial 1957-58 legislative request. This year's proposal urges ap- proval for the science institute as a partial cure for Michigan's fi- nancial headache. The original 1957-58 request was aimed at meeting the "serious challenge . . . of Soviet advances in science and technology." Legis- lators paid no heed to the Uni- versity's plea and denied budget funds for the science project. The' current proposal before the state legislature underlines the "inevitability" that an Institute of Science and Technology would "spark new industries and pro- duce highly creative scientists and engineers." 'Would Attract Industry' "It could undertake imaginative research in promising new fields; research that would give rise to-- and attract to Michigan-entire new industries," the report em- phasized. Initial operational expenses for the project were also trimmed by almost 65 per cent. The previous request of $2.5 million was slashed to $850,000 in the new 1958-59 pro- posal. Expanded federal' aid in the form of loans to students in tech- nological fields and provisions for a "slower growth" were given as reasons for the bugetary cut. Committee Asks 'Seed Money' The present timetable calls for the science institute to reach its maximum size in "five to six years." The center's operating budget would then approximate the $2.5 million originally re- quested. University President Harlan Hatcher's Special Science Ad- visory Committee estimated that for every dollar "invested in the Institute, ten to twenty dollars would be drawn from federal, in- dustrial and foundation groups." Calling the legislative request "seed money ' needed to "reap a rich harvest," the report said the science institute could "set the stage" for industrial growth in Michigan.

Thursday, after several checks, they sent a lettersto the state health department inquiring about him. A reply is expected in a week or so, police said, after the health department has had a chance to search through its files. Members of the fraternity found the tombstone while cleaning out a storage room in the attic. The tombstone bears the inscription "John H., beloved son of Anna M.

Request By THOMAS WITECKI The Board in Control of Intercollegiate Athletics last night turned down the Detroit Lions' proposal to use the Michigan Stadium this fall. Although Michigan's Athletic Director H. 0. "Fritz" Crisler, who is chairman of the athletic governing board, refused to make any official announcement, a reliable source indicated tha't the Board had rejected the Detroit team's bid, as had been expected. Refusal Expected Crisler's only comment on the proposal was that "all matters discussed at tonight's meeting will be made public at an appropriate time when they have gone throughN News Given To NASA By ill'jas Asks Space Center To Meet Civilian Scientific Needs By BARTON HUTHWAITE University officials confirmed a statement made in Washington yesterday by Governor G. Mennen Williams that scientists here have developed a fiberglass rocket for only a fraction of present missile costs. The University research project was revealed when the Governor urged the National Astronautics and Space Agency to buy the 200- mile range missiles for civilian space exploration. Prof. Wilbur Nelson, chairman of the aeronautical engineering department, told The Daily the University has made a proposal to the NASA which will "be decided upon its technical merits." Proposal in Early Stage "At the present time there is no further announcement which can be made," he added. The reluctance to elaborate further was attributed to the fact that the NASA propsoal was in a U', PRIME MINISTER MACMILLAN ... ends Russian talks Macmllan' Says Talks Valuable' KIEV(P)-Prime Minister Harold A. Macmillan declared last night his Kremlin talks were "a valuable preparation for wider international negotiations which must follow." But he said the Soviet Union must show it is ready to reach fair agreements if it really wants peace. Macmillan 'Abandons Hope' Sources close to the British dele- gation said the visiting Pime Min- ister has "given up the ghost." They meant he had abandoned hope of bringing East and West closer together on the Berlincrisis in view of Soviet Premier ikita Khrushchev's uncompromising stand. There was an echo of his last meeting with Khrushchev in the Kremlin as Macmillan rose to toast Ukrainian Premier N. K. Klachenko at a formal dinner end- ing his visit to Kiev. 'Not EnougheTo Wish' "It is not enough to wish for peace or even to talk about it," Macmillan said. "It is the duty of' all countries to work for it. "Of course difficulties or mis- uderstandings arise between na- tions. When they do it is the duty of statesmen to do all they can to remove them and to frame their policies in such a way as to lessen international tension." Macmillan said he believed dif- ferences should be settled by nego- tiations "but such negotiations must be based on knowledge gained by full discussions and con- ducted with a genuine desire to reach fair agreement." In conclusion he added: "Of this at least I am sure. If by successful negotiations we could settle some, at least, of the outstanding differences between nations and if we could thereby dispel suspicion and the fears of war, people all over the world would then feel a sense of relief. "They would then be able to bend their energy increasingly to the constructive paths of peace." British Foreign Secretary Sel-I wyn Lloyd, who is with Macmil- Ian was pictured as determined to salvage something out of the deadlocked Macmillan --Khrush chev Moscow talks. A sourcelwith contacts in the British delegation said Lloyd hopes to achieve this in discus- sions with his Soviet counterpart, Andrei Gromyko. A final meeting between Mac- millan and Khrushchev is sched- uled for the Kremlin Monday. But it is expected to be confined to drafting a communique expressing a general desire for trade and cul- tural relations. Prof. Coser To Give Talk, Prof. Lewis Coser, chairman of the Brandeis University sociology proper channels." He refused to indicate when the time or what the channels would be.- The refusal of the Detroit pro- posal was expected since Univer- sity regulations prohibit use of facilities for non-educational pur- poses. Edwin J. Anderson, president of the Detroit team, had sent a letter to Crisler two weeks ago requesting the use of the Stadium. No Information on WIHL Crisler also acknowledged that the resurrection of the now de- funct WIHL hockey league was discussed at the meeting, but again refused to indicate what action had been taken. The league was dissolved last winter after numerous disputes over ineligibilities, but a proposal to rejuvenate the circuit had been sent around to all former members for theird approval. The Board's annual budget was on the meeting's agenda, but pub- lic announcement of it will not be made until it receives the Regents' approval. Group Picks New Student Associates The Board in Control of Inter- collegiate athletics did not discuss Student Government Council's proposals to change student re- presentation but last night filled the two current student vacancies. Chairman Crisler said basket- ball guard Terry Miller, '60, was appointed to substitute this se- mester for quarterback Stan Nos- kin, '60, who did not make grades and is on social probation. Bob Ptacek, '59, was appointed to fill the remaining four month's of fullback John Herrnstein's term. Herrnstein is at the Phila- delphia Phillies training. camp after dropping out of school this semester.. Crisler said the SGC's attempts Apartment, Permissions To Decrease' By KATHLEEN MOORE, Apartment permissions for senior women are being decreased for the coming year due to an easing of the overcrowded situa- tion in women's residences, Elisa- beth A. Leslie, assistant dean of women, said yesterday. Mrs. Leslie, who. said she feels "students are very definitely criti- cizing what seems to be a change" in housing policy, claimed the building of Mary Markley Hall provided a "very easy explana- tion" for the cutback in permis- sions, but "that isn't the whole explanation at all." The policy has always been that undergraduate women live in University-supervised housing for the full four years of residence, she said, adding that the Univer- sity has always been a "residen- tial" as opposed to a "aity col- lege," and plans to remain so at the present time. During the past two years there was a "great need" for such hous- ing resulting in crowded quarters "inconveniencing the undergradu- ate student body," she explained. Under these conditions, she said, it "seemed only fair" for the Dean of Women's office "to allow seniors to live in less crowd- ed quarters" and permissions were greatly increased. "Parents often approved apart- ment permission for their daugh- ters because they felt conditions in the residence halls were crowded," she commented. The Dean of Women has been "designated to grant apartment permission" to women showing fi- nancial need or "other valid rea- sons," Mrs. Leslie added. Every permission is granted on an "exceptional basist" she ex- Researchers Develo Ceap, Fiberglass Rocke Seven More Take Petitions- For SGC, Union, Class Posts' A total of seven more petitions were taken out yesterday for Student Government Council, Union Student Directors and class offices.

Soviets Call Boarding Illegal; U.S. Refuses To Make Apology WASHINGTON -) - The official Soviet news agency last night described United States Navy boarding of a Russian fishing vessel as an unlawful action, but the State Department indicated it won't apologize. Moscow Radio and the Soviet agency Tass, for the first time, carried factual dispatches from New York reporting that a Navy boarding party had inspected the records of the Russian trawlet on the high seas off Newfound- _ GOV. G. MENNEN WILLIAMS ...*reveals project preliminary stage. However, in- formed sources have told The Daily that University research on the rocket has been going on for several months. Prof. Richard Morrison, also of the aeronautical engineering de- partment, and Prof. Nelson are the co-designers of the revolu- tionary missile. Rocket Costs Less Governor Williams said instead of the usual three million dollars, would only cost $30,000. It would not be accurate enough for mili- tary use, he added, but would meet civilian scientifid needs. The new rocket is allegedly to be made by Curtiss-Wright Cor- poration. , The governor's revelation came a day after his plea for the estab- lishment of an Institute of Sci- ence and Technology at the Uni- versity. The proposed Institute was listed as part of a multi-point package to bolster Michigan's sagging economy.
