LXIX, No. 92 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1959 FIVE CENTS EIGHT P I eed Fund Assurance or Dearborn Opening Three -Power Seeks, Peace London Meetin Plan for Cyprhu E i Special to the Daily DEARBORN-The time and ex- tent of opening, the University's Dearborn Center will be deter- mined by the state legislature's assurance of adequate funds, Vice- President William Stirton said yester'day. Speaking before the Association of Wayne County School Superin- teikdents, Stirton, who is director of the Center, called attention to the need for an $84,500 appropria- tion to hire admissions officers and job coordinators and need for a $550,000 first year operating ap- propriation. The $84,500 is a non-recurring expense essential to the Center's opening on time, he said. Jobs Integrated Three-fourths of the students at. the Center, which will offer only junior, senior, and graduate courses, will attend school on a carefully coordinated work-study basis, he explained, with job in- ternships being closely integrated with courses. The Center will run on the four term, or quarter system, with stu- dents in engineering and business administration attending classes one quarter and working the next, half the students in class in any quarter. If the necessary operating funds are not made available soon, Stir- ton said, the Center's opening may be delayed a quarter or certain programs delayed or minimized. The campus' four buildings, con- structed from a $6.5 million' grant by the Ford Motor Co. and the Ford Motor Co. Fund, will be ready for students in September. Opens in Fall While the campus is built for 2,700 students, plans call for open-! ing the center in September with 400 students; and enrollment grad- ually increasing, he said. "'We're in a goldfish bowl and everyone's looking in," he said, referring tothe unique integrated work-study program. Student jobs are available in neighboring in- dustry, and, Stirton emphasized, are essentially research intern- ' "'vLf '' L-x'' '+"fI4.AC:sR r . - ..."' .

Ford Mansion To House Euain Faiie By ROBERT JUNKER Special to The Daily DEARBORN-Henry Ford's subdued baronial mansion, Fairlane, will be the finest adult education, conference and seminar building in the world if Vice-President William Stirton has his way. The old mansion, with over 50 rooms, has sterling silver doorknobs, mahogany paneling and what Stirton calls "fine environment for meet- ings." Built in 1915 for over $1 million, Fairlane is humble luxury. Ford placed the home in a plush natural'environment. The front of the home faces the Rouge River, which Ford dimmed, building a power- DEBT: Willams Prooses Tax Move LANSING (A) - An alternative to mortgaging the Veterans Trust Fund was offered yesterday by Governor G. Mennen Williams. He said the way was now open to raise the state's debt limit and borrow $50 million to meet the cash emergency, thanks to pre- payment of spring taxes by busi- ness. Gov. Williams, after summoning legislative leaders to explain the new prospect, did not necessarily endorse it. In any event, he told them, the package of trust fund mortgage bills pending in the House should be kept alive for the time being. Plan Debt Ceiling Raising the state debt limit from the present ceiling of $250,000 would require a constitutional amendment. If the Legislature ap- proves, it would go to a decisive statewide vote April 6. The Legislature would have to act by March 2, favoring the high- er debt maximum in each chamber by a two-thirds favorable vote. The governor said receipt of a $5,100,000 check from the Ford Motor Company yesterday morn- ing boosted advance payment of taxes by business over the last 10 days to $31,500,000. With this extra money in the treasury, Gov. Williams said it now appeared the state could meet essential obligatoins until about April 15, just nine days after the spring election. Republicans Quiet Republicans, apparently suspect- ing the Governor's motives in bringing forth the new possibility just before their state convention, had little to say. Sen. Frank D. Beadle (R-St. glair) and Rep. Allison Green (R- Kingston), majority leaders, said the debt limitation answer was worth study. Rep. Green added that 'he thought the Governor was "stall- ing." "Big business has given him a way to stall off the cash crisis until after the election. He sees his chance and he's taking it," he said. "We're willing to talk it over," he continued. The Legislature recessed a day early in recognition of the GOP state convention today and tomor- row in Detroit. Rep. Joseph J. Kowalski of De- troit, Democratic house leader, cautioned that money on hand and in sight until April 15 will not permit payment i full of state school aid obligations. From the governor's appraisal of the situation, it appeared payment of another monthly installment to the University of Michigan and Michigan State University was in the cards. for a combination appointive-elec-' tive board for the next four years. With 56 votes needed for pass- age, the Senate-approved ap- pointive plan was beaten 49-35. The action virtually cleared away any clouds hanging over selection of candidates for a six-member elective board at the Republican and Democratic state conventions this month. Rep. Waldron said Wayne need- ed an interim elective-appointive board, containing several current members, "to assure continuity of management.", Democrats, pushing for a sweep of all six positions in the April 6 election, rejected the idea. Still alive, but unlikely to come up for a public vote, is a proposed constitutional amendment which would give Wayne the same con- stitutional status under an elec- tive board as the University and Michigan State University. Still resting in a House commit- tee, it needs two-thirds favorable vote in the House and Senate to go on the ballot. SGC Urges Discussion A letter-urging discussion of the Counseling Study Committee's re- port was put in the mails today. The letter, signed by Roger Seasonwein, '61, a member of the committee, and addressed to all student groups on campus,, states that without "student interest in this area, the committee's two and one-half years of work could lose all value." Seasonwein asked the presidents. of the League, Union, IFC, PanHel, IHC, Assembly and The -Daily Editor to discuss- 1) the facts and recommenda- tions contained in the report, 2) the manner in which the recommendations could be imple- mented, and 3) further suggestions and addi- tions to the report. A major part of the counseling problem, he continued, is making students aware of the services available. This program of discus- sion, he hopes will help solve the problems. Seasonwein said he is planning to release details of a further pub- licity program by the middle of next week. "I would like to see the whole campus informed-and talk- ing about this report," he said. IFC Adopts Bias Study Committee By THOMAS HAYDEN Interfraternity Council 1 a s t night adopted a proposal to set up a committee to survey the area of "restrictive" clauses.' The plan, as presented by Presi- dent John Gerber, '59, would evpl- uate the present situation, and recommend by June "definite plans" for the Council's future action in the area. "We cannot, and do not wish to avoid this matter," Gerber ex- plained. "Fraternity feelings on selectivity must be defined and understood." Gerber pointed to a "consider- able reduction" over the past dec- ade in the number of houses hav- ing restrictive membership clauses. Since little action has been taken recently, he noted a need for "re-evaluation" in the area by the proposed committee. The group, consisting of five fraternity men, would "formally compile relevant information and air all the various arguments" concerning selectivity. In other action, Gerber read a letter sent to Vice-President for Student Affairs James A. Lewis concerning the area of recogni- tion of fraternal organizations. The letter stated that the IFC Executive Committee did not feel that powers of recognition should rest completely with Student Gov- ernment Council; a group with "little continuity of membership and no understanding of, or ap- preciation for, the entire scope of the fraternity situation." House Democrats Smother WSU. Plan LANSING (IP)-House Democrats yesterday killed a bill to make the Wayne State University Board of Governors elective instead of appointive. Two other measures to raise Central Michigan College and Eastern Michigan College to university status passed by overwhelming mar- gins and moved to the Senate. Rep. Robert E. Waldron (R-Grosse Pointe) tried in vain to win Democrats to a compromise plan on the Wayne governing body, calling WORLD: .Ike Asks Increase For Bank WASHINGTON (M)-The White House asked Congress yesterday for quick approval of a multi-bil- lion dollar increase in the United States 'contribution to the World Bank and the International Mone- tary Fund. President Dwight D. Eisenhower declared: "There is real urgency for prompt action." One reason, unspoken, was that a delay beyond midyear would un- balance his $77 billion budget for the government year beginning July 1. This year's budget already is running a big deficit, estimated at $12 billon. Need Capital In a special message President Eisenhower said the 68-nation bank and fund find themselves needing more capital to perform their tasks of stabilizing world trade and supporting the develop- ment of free world countries. Proportionate increases are be- ing proposed in all the countries belonging to the two lending in- stitutions. The increased United States subscriptions recommended by the President call for: To the fund, a cash payment of $1,375,000,000 in gold and dollars. This is a 50 per cent increase, bringing 'this country's quota to $4,125,000,000. Urge Increase To the bank, a 100 per cent in- crease in the pledged United States subscription. This would not be in cash, however. It would simply be earmarked and guaranteed for the bank's' use if needed to cover defaults on bank loans. There have been no defaults in the bank's 12-year history. In the Senate the. President's message was assigned to the For- eign Relations Committee. The committee chairman, Sen. J. Wil- liam Fulbright (D-Ark.) told re- porters he knew of no significant opposition. For himself, he said: "I have always supported bank and fund legislation and will do so now." In the House, the message land- ed in the Banking and Currency Committee. This work will provide valuable experience, and -at the same time enable the student to pay his way through school, Stirton explained. Fees for the four quarters will be equivalent on a yearly basis to those paid on the Ann Arbor campus, he said. Cite Fee Students on the job will pay a $40 fee if state residents. This is necessary, he explained, because of the cost of a coordinating course and student services offered by the Center. Will Build Soon Dearborn school superintendent' Stuart Openlander said the city's Henry Ford Community College will soon begin construction of its four-building campus adjacent to the Dearborn Center. This will provide, in effect, a "four-year college situation, al- though -the two institutions will be .separate, Openlander said the grant of 75 acres from the Ford Motor Co. will make the campus, planned to accommodate 11,400 students, "a little cramped." He added that the possible shar- ing of facilities with the University would help alleviate the situation. " He suggested a combined library or auditorium as a possible co- operative effort. Openlander said the new junior college campus will cost $8 million, $6 million of which has been ap- proved by the city's voters., Urge Riots In Veniezuela CARACAS, Venezuela (P)-Pol- tical foes of President-elect Rom- ulo Betancourt are reported plan- nling street disorders in protest; ' against his inauguration today. Military police are expected to take strong precautions against any such outbreak. Intelligence agents said today the opposition plans call for wom- en dressed in black to block traffic around the capitol when Betan- court arrives, while demonstrators denounce him. Betancourt, 50, is the first freely elected president of Venezuela in a decade. He heads the Leftist Democratic Action Party. The first disorder was reported planned for midnight in El Silencio district of midtown Caracas, where rioters battled nolice with stinere Nations Pu For Quick Settlement -'--.~ - . -'- ---- - --I Plan Growth For Honors Programs (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the third in a series of articles concerning the departmental honors programs of the literary college.) By RU"HANN RECHT The fine arts honors program is patterned after that of the philo- sophy department. "Though the fine arts program came into existence about three years ago it -was only given in 1955-56," Prof. Nathan T. Whit- man of the fine arts department said. In that year only seniors participated in the program. "We find that most majors in fine arts tend to be women," Prof. Whitman said. This situation is changing and in the future we hope to equalize the number of male and female students major- ing in the department." The fine arts program runs for three semesters. It is possible for a student to enter the program in the first semester of the junior yeari but he will be. on trial for that semester. "These students would be given extra work in the courses they are taking in order to determine their capability," Prof. Whitman said. "Next year the philosophy de- partment will begin its junior' program," Prof. William P. Alston of the philosophy department said. We have been running the senior program for about six years, he added. All senior honors students worked with one faculty member who was interested in the same branch of philosophy as the stu- dent. "This year different stu- dents will be assigned to different faculty members," Prof. Alston said.

To the west is a quarter-mile field, "the fairway," and a trail running through natural woods and leading to the famous rose garden. Stirton said the natural beauty of the area, now University Dear- born Center campus, will be pre- served. The rose gardens have been cared for since the University took 'over, as have the blue garden and the English garden. "We're not cutting a single tree out," Stirton claimed proudly. He envisions a series of paths leading through the rustic setting. The old house, brown stone on the outside, has been stripped of its furnishings and some of the fancy ceilings have been covered with fluorescent lights. This was, done when the building housed the Ford archives which were moved when the University gained pos- session of the structure. Stirton took Wayne County school superintendents on a tour of the building yesterday. He pointed out the vast number of rooms, each with sturdy soundproof doors See FAIRLANE, page 2 Predict Acceptance. Of Zurich Proposal For British Colony LONDON. (P) - Britain, Greece and Turkey pushed toward a last. ing peace in Cyprus yesterday with swift rounds of talks aim~ed at bringing independence to that troubled British colony. Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd told the House of Commons that talks in London with Greek and Turkish foreign ministers on 'the Zurich Agreement on Cyprus were going well. Reliable informants predicted a three-power conference to put the final touches on the accord would open in London Monday or Tues- day. Greek Foreign Minister Evan- ghelos Averoff and his Turkish counterpart, Fatin Zorlu, expressed optimism for winning British ap- proval of the plan to make Cyprus an independent republic, reached at Zurich Wednesday. Announce Plans In Nicosia, Turkish Cypriot lead- ers announced plans to fly to Lon- don 'today. There was conjecture that Arch- bishop Makarios, exiled leader of the Greek Cypriots, would come to London. Makarios has praised the Zurich Agreement as laying the foundation for a quick solu- tion to the Cyprus issue. Now in Athens, Makarios was exiled by the British. They ac- cused him of fostering the violence of Eoka, the Greek Cypriot under- ground that fought for union with Greece. The three-power conference of foreign ministers is expected to include both Greek and Turkish Cypriot leaders, sitting as asso- ciates. Conduct Study Prime Minister Harold Macmil- lan's cabinet made a preliminary study of the Zurich agreement in two meetings yesterday. The cabi- net was expected to reach some. decision on approval today. There were reports of some con- servative resistance to the idea of yielding yet another part of the once-mighty British empire. But it was thought that Greek-Turkish guarantees that Britain's strategic position on Cyprus will be pre- served will overconie objections. The three ministers scheduled another meeting for today. Zorlu told newsmen: "It is progressing very well." May Decide Date Averoff said he thought it pos sible they would decide on a date of a tripartite meeting tomorrow. An offical announcement said Sir Hugh Foot, governor of Cyprus, has been told to return to Britain at once for consultations. A foreign office spokesman said Lloyd will report to the Cabinet today on his negotiations with the Turkish and Greek fofeign min- isters. The next step in the mechanics of granting independence to Cyprus would be British Cabinet approval of the Zurich Plan, sub- ject to ratification by Parliament. The Greek and Turkish cabinets also would have -to give assent. Lloyd and the Greek and Turk. ish foreign ministers met at the foreign office. The session was largely devoted to British questions about the text of the accord, which has not yet been made public. Staebler Asks Republicans For Tax Plan Democratic state chairman Neil Staebler last night challenged Re- publicans "to let the people know through their spring convention Saturday where they stand on taxes." Staebler made the comment be- fore the Democratic convention in his home county of Washtenaw. Increased Student .loans Lower Federal Fundsf. By NAN MARKEL Federal loan funds are quickly being diverted into student pockets. Men students have already borrowed half the money available to them, Dean of Men Walter B. Rea reported yesterday. He said that if the demand for federal loans continues as it is now, no funds will be left by the end of the month. Assistant Dean of Women Gertrude E. Mulhollen noted that about one third of the money to be spent Son women students has been com- mitted. TECHNIQUES OUT OF CONTROL: Panel. Objects to Rigidity in, Science By LANE VANDERSLICE A panel composed of a political scientist, a zoologist and an historian tried a little debunking of science last night. A definition from a noted physicist, P. W. Bridgeman on the nature of science characterized the evening. "Doing your damnedest with your mind," was Bridgeman's defini- tion. The definition was quoted by Prof. Inis L. Claude of the political science department, who served as moderator. Oppose Rigid Scientific Approach While not all the debunking of science, and was done for the purpose of clarifying the methods of social science, a stand was taken against a too rigid approach to science. Panel members warned against the dangers of letting techniques in science get out of control and the idea that there is anything like an unbiased study in social science. Prof. Robert I. Crane of the history department said that the social scientist who maintained that his study was unbiased was dangerous, because he fooled both himself and possibly his audience. "One of our most serious problems in natural science is letting our methods run away with us," Prof. Frederick Smith of the zoology de- partment said. Cites Animal Study He cited as an examnle a study where animals were reduced to Money Still Available There will, however, still be money left in the University's general student loan fund. At the University's Flint col- lege, "acceptable" applications for loans are now being processed for the full amount of its share of the federal. grant. More students applied for loans at Flint than the college was able to handle, Rea in- dicated, and almost all of these were in education school. He attributed the rush for loans provided under the National De- fense Act of 1958 to the act's generous terms, "which are more generous than any institution can provide." Loans need not be re- paid until a year after leaving school, and they may be repaid over a ten year period. Cite Priority Further, "special preference" is set for students majoring in math- ematics, science,.engineering and foreign languages. For students who plan to teach, there is a "for- giveness clause," allowing them to deduct 10 per cent from the loan :..::: . y ... :.. ". X. :. ,.
