Eisenhower confidently predicted yesterday that East- West negotiations on Germany will move ahead on schedule de- spite Secretary of State John Fos- ter Dulles' new illness. At the same time, President Eisenhower brushed aside Soviet Premier Nikita 'Khrushchev's bid for him to visit Russia for in- formal talks on international problems. Khrushchev extended an invi- tation in a Moscow speech Thurs- day, coupling it with a bitter at- tack on United States officials.

It's just a little rain," the Markley co-ed said yesterday as she stepped out of the front entrance and sat down hard in a gutter of ankle-deep H2O. (The chemical formula is used to refer to this matter because it is a nondescript compound of water in its two forms.) The rain kept falling and so did University students. A six-footer cleverly avoided the slush by driving to class.

By RUTHANN RECHT The English Honors Program was started more than a quarter of a century ago and has contin- ued ever since. In 1950 the English Department established an honors curriculum with a program of courses throughout the junior and senior years instead of just one course offered in the senior year. "We found that our program was back- ward, the student had too much reading to do all in one year," Prof. Morris Greenhut, chairman of the English honors program said. Before the junior program was instituted, the group consisted of only 1.0 to .12 hand-picked seniors.. "The department likes a larger group in the junior year because of the number of students who will drop out of the program," Greenhut said. "Also, with a larger group, the honors committee has a better chance to assess the students' ca- pabilities," he added. This year there are 24 seniors and 36 juniors participating in the program. "The purpose of our program is to give students with interest and ability the most challenging train- ing possible in the field of English literature under the best instruc- tion available, with the special help of seminar discussions and individual tutorial guidance," Prof. Greenhut said. See CURRICULUM, page 2 vehicle, he was seen embracing a parking meter for a full two minutes. Predict Snox Occasional snow flurries and a high in the low 20's are forecast for today. The Health Service had "many more" minor accidents yesterday than is usual for a winter day, according to director Morley B. Beckett. He also noted a broken arm, a dislocated elbow and a broken ankle. More than 100,000 pupils missed school in Michigan yesterday, ac- cording to the Associated Press. Bike Troubles In addition to chemistry, mathe- matics figured in the battle for vertical survival. Students. who braved the inclement weather via bicycle found difficulty in keep- ing their two wheels perpendicular to the ground. And making turns at acute angles proved equally im- possible for the uncountable pedes- trians. "I saw one guy turn, fall in a gutter and sadly watch his brief- case floating away," one sadist re- ported. Battle tactics were frequently, employed as a bottleneck resulted at 7:55 a.m. on the steps behind Stockwell Hall. But the icy hand railings offered no proving grounds for athletic bannister-sliders. Halt Traffic "Forward, march!" was the call when a group of about 45 co-eds and several enmeshed males halted traffic for a block to cross Forest Ave. Padding over to the radiator in mathematics class and placing her drenched boots underneath, a Markley resident complained that her walk to the Frieze Building took 30 minutes.

Doctors tentatively planned to operate some time this weekend. President Eisenhower spoke of the 70-year-old Secretary of State as "the most valuable man in f or- eign affairs that I have ever known." He also voiced a hope Secretary Dulles will return 'full time to his State Department desk in a few weeks. In replying to questions, Presi- dent Eisenhower foresaw no delay in Allied moves to arrange a for- eign minister's conference with the Soviets on the Berlin and German deadlocks. A team of American, British, French and German diplomats was reported putting final touches to a new note to Moscow propos- ing such East-West- talks in the near future. The Allied proposal, was reported to omit any firm date for such negotiations. They are widely expected to begin about mid-May. President Eisenhower noted only that preparation is needed for any foreign minister's meet- ing. Even more, he said, would be required for a summit conference of the kind Soviet Premier Khrushchev wants. By JOHN RICKEL The long struggle over the route of the proposed Eastbelt Express-{ way Bypass around Ann Arbor came to a head at the public hear- ing held last January 16 by the Michigan State Highway Depart- ment in the University's Frieze' Building. The hearing, which the State Highway Department called to allow all interested parties to pre-{ sent their viewpoints in the pro- posed relocation, began with an explanation of the Highway De- partment's proposal by Joseph Wilbur, State Highway Depart- ment hearing engineer. He explained the project was being given priority because pf the expected volume of traffic in the new superhighway running from the Ohio border north to the Mackinac Straits Bridge and on to Sault Ste. Marie. Bypass Ann Arbor The proposed Eastbelt bypass will link US-23 southeast of Ann Arbor with US-23 north of the city, eliminating through traffic in Ann Arbor. Support for the present proposed route came from Ann Arbor's mayor Prof. Samuel J. Eldersveld of the political sci- ence department, who spoke for the Ann Arbor City Council. He said that the Council feels "it is unthinkable" that there should be -any further delay in the pro- posal as presented by the State Highway Department. Local com- munity groups also gave strong support to the proposal. T ell Candidacy For Regency Three Democrats and three Re- publicans have announced their candidacies for their party's nom- ination for the post of Regent. The Democrats are Earle R. MacLaughlin, chief engineer of the Midland division of the Dow Chemical Co.; W. K. McInally, chairman of the board of the Na- tional Bank of Jackson, and Reid Brazell, president of Leonard Re- fineries, Inc., of Alma. The Republicans are Frederick C. Matthaei, founder of American Metal Products Co. in Detroit, who lives in Ann Arbor; Ted ,Kennedy, Jr., vice-president and general manager of the Treton Corp. of Ann Arbor, and R. F. Thalner, of Flint. McInally is the .only one of these candidates who is not a graduate of the University. The candidates are vying, for nomination to posts now held by Regents Leland I. Doan and Ros- coe O. Bonisteel. Both are Repub- licans. Robert Carpenter, director of the Washtenaw County Planning Commission, said his group finds the proposed route "acceptable." The supervisor of Pittsfield town- ship, Samuel Morgan, agreed with the opinions expressed, and said that he generally was in accord wv ith the route, but that a slight relocation of 150 feet would move the route from its projected route through a subdivision. William J. Bott, manager of the Ann Arbor Chamber of Commerce, speaking for the Board of Directors, said his Board felt the Eastbelt route is acceptable and satisfactorily by- passes Ann Arbor. Target 1960 Hearing engineer Wilbur said the target date for taking bids for the portion of the highway north of Ann Arbor is "the middle of 1960. Bids will be taken about October 1, 1960 for the Eastbelt route from Milan north to US-12." Howard G. Minier, manager of the Washtenaw County Road Commission, approved the out- lined route. Minier said, however, the Commission is withholding ap- proval of Eastbelt crossroads, interchanges, locations of service See STATE, page 2 To Construct ian' Base LOS ANGELES M)-- Construc- tion of the first underground site for Titan missiles, designed to reach Russia's heartland, is under' way at Vandenberg Air Force Base 170 miles north of Los Angeles. The United States Army Corps of Engineers yesterday called for bids for three silos, or deep pits, to shelter the 90-foot Intercon- tinental Ballistic Missiles. Unofficial sources said the pits have already been dug and the bids, to be opened March 4, are for pouring of concrete and in- stallation of equipment. Plans also call for two silos for tracking antenna, a control center and underground tunnels for men and equipment. The Titan facilities are expect- ed to bring the interior of Russia within range of the West Coast. SGC: Meeting To Study Counseling Prof. Lowell Kelly, chairman of the psychology department, will discuss the Counseling Study Re- port with Student Government Council tonight according to Mort Wise, '59, SGC's executive vice- president. Prof. Kelly, chairman of the study committee, will outline the study of counseling at the Univer- sity and its recommendations and interpret them, Roger Seasonwein, '61, explained. The purpose of Prof. Kelly's visit will be two-fold, he said. It will serve, first, to find out what the Council thinks of the report and, second, to stimulate campus- wide discussion of its recommenda- tions. The Council will also probably appoint its three members of the 'Council Plan Clarification Com- mittee, Wise said. This committee was recommended by the Univer- sity Regents after they considered the Council's appeal of the Sigma Kappa action. The appeal was to request the Regents to lift the SGC Board in, Review's stay of action on the Council's decision to withdraw recognition from Sigma Kappa sorority. Also on the agenda is the request to grant Alpha Kappa Lambda fraternity colony status. To gain colony status the fra- ternity must present 1) a letter of recognition from the AKL na- tional fraternity, 2) a letter from the president of the campus group. saying they have no discriminatory clauses, 3) a letter of approval from the Interfraternity Council, 4) a letter from Dean Walter B. Rea, dean of men, saying their constitution contains no discrimi- natory clauses and 5) a list of officers and members of the pro- posed colony. Phil Zook, '60, chairman of the Student Activities Committee which makes recommendations to grant recognition to activities, said yesterday he had not received the necessary letters and list.' ' The Council is scheduled to re- ceive a report from the Educa- tion and Student Welfare Com- mittee on the SGC Forum and the proposed visit of state legislators 'to the University later this spring. Strikes, Riots Erupt Daily In All Areas Smaller Arab State Governments Strive To Remain Neutral BEIRUT (P)-A spreading fight between two Arab rulers-Gamal Nasser of the United Arab Repub- lic and Abdel Kassem of Iraq-is shaking the Middle East. Clashes, strikes and demonstra- tions are erupting all over the area. They break out daily-in Lebanon and Kuwait, in Iraq, Jor- dan and in other smaller Arab states. Caught in the middle, the governments of these countries are seriously worried. They are trying to remain neutral. Neither President Nasser nor Premier Kassem has openly cha- lenged the other. Their lieutenants are adequately handling that job. But there seems little doubt from whom the orders come. Arab nationalists supporting President Nasser are stirring Arabs to a searing hate of Premier Kassem and his Iraq regime. They are turning out one of the most concerted propaganda campaigns seen in the Middle East in a long time. The Pro-Kassem elements, In- cluding Communists, are outdis- tanced and are striving to catch up. Outside of Iraq, however they have made small headway. Just how long the small Arab governments can stay out of the growing quarrel between the two big powers remains to be' seen. In Lebanon, strikes against Pre- mier Kassem are being staged by supporters of President Nasser. U.S. Rejects' Missie j Bd WASHINGTON ( - The De- fense Department yesterday de- fended its rejection of an Army bid for money to produce Nike- Zeus missiles, the weapon designed to knock down enemy Intercon- tinental Ballistic Missiles. Assistant Secretary of Defense W. J. McNeil said the Nike-Zeus is not ready for production-as some Army generals claim-but development work on it is being pushed hard. "Every possible cent is being spent to perfect it," he toldthe'. Senate-House Economic Compmit-!:' tee. McNeil also defended the, Pen- tagon's decision to continue turn- ing out big bombers rather 'than rely more on long-range missiles for massive retaliation against attack. The tUnited States has "many strings to our bow," he said. Defense Department planning, McNeil said, is based on staying abreast of Russia over the long pull plus a decent margin of superiority. But, he said, this did not mean the United States would match Russia on every military item. Virginia Town Receives Order To Integrate , RICHMOND, Va.

The pre-payment of taxes, while alleviating conditions, chief- ly had the effect of postponing the day of reckoning until mid- March or possibly even as late as May 15. The package of four trust fund mortgage bills were voted out of the Ways and Means committee 9 to 4, but without recommenda- tion. This means the bills lie inac- tive - on the speaker's table - until 56 votes are mustered to put them on the calendar for debate.

Principal in- vestigator on the project Edward H. Armbruster said ordinary house- hold cleaning merely spreads the film over the surface and it is impossible to remove. The scientists will smear thousands of dishes with radioactive bacteria and kitchen greases and then put them through ordinary cleaning and washing processes.
