Weeks will leave his post not
later than Nov. 10. In an Oct. 22'
letter to President Eisenhower'
he said he was resigning reluc-
tantly "and only because of press-
ing business, personal and family
considerations, which seem to me
to make it imperaitve that I return
to Boston and my interests there."
President Eisenhower gave Ad-
miral Strauss a recess appointment
which will enable him to take over
as soon as Weeks leaves. When
Congress convenes in January the
Senate will be asked to confirm
the appointment.
May Meet Opposition
Admiral Strauss may run into
some opposition there, although
he probably will be confirmed. He
was often a center of controversy
as AEC chairman. He made many
friends in Congress while heading
the AEC but also some powerful
enemies.
Admiral Strauss retired from the
AEC June 30, telling President
Eisenhower "circumstances beyond
the control of either of us make a
change in the chairmanship of the
commission advisable." He pre-
sumably had in mind the certainty
that his renomination would have
run into bitter opposition from
some Democrats.
He also gave up his job as spe-
cial adviser to the President on
atomic energy matters, but took on
a new assignment as special as-
sistant in charge of promoting
President Eisenhower's Atoms for
Peace program.
Persuaded by Ike
As long ago as 1954 Admiral
Strauss said his AEC post would
be "my last public job on earth."
President Eisenhower evidently
persuaded him otherwise. Admiral
Strauss conferred with the Presi-
dent at the White House this
morning.
His has been an extraordinary
path of achievement:

tary of Commerce.
Rumors of Weeks' resignation
preceded the official announce-
ment by several hours. Dow Jones,
the Wall Street business service,
also reported that Postmaster
General Arthur E. Summerfieldi
was expected to resign.
Summerflild's office promptly
stated "he has no such intention."}
Aides noted that the postmaster
general only recently said he ex-
pected to stay through the last
two years of the Eisenhower ad-
ministration.

A new graduate engineering
program emphasizing practical
application of the subject ratherI
than research aspects was ap-
proved by the University Regents
at their meeting yesterday.
The two-year plan requires 30
credit hours of work beyond the
level of master of science in en-
gineering. It replaces the old
graduate program of professional
degrees in engineering.R
The Regents also discontinued a
similar professional program in
forestry and wood technology due
to lack of the demand for them.j
New Degree Rating+
The degree conferred does not
fit within the present academic
terms, Vice-President and Dean
of Faculties Marvin L. Niehuss
said. The skill denoted by com-
pletion of the program is above
that of the masters' level and be-
low the doctorate level.
Degrees under the new plan willI
be given in the fields of aero-
nautical, civil, chemical. metallur-
gical, electrical, industrial, me-
chanical, nuclear, applied me-
chanics and marine engineering.
Included in the new program
will be 24 hours of course work ina
the department area, specified by
the department advisors. Six
hours will be required in a re-
search, design or development
problem which will culminate in

No Concessionlt
To Red China
WASHINGTON (m) - Secretary
of State John Foster Dulles ac-1
cused Red China yesterday of
deliberately creating a new, war,
scare in the Formosa area as part
of a campaign to drives the Unitedf
States from the Western Pacific,-
He pledged anew that the Eisen-
hower administration, backing Na-
tionalist China, would "stand1
against retreat in the face of
armed agression" to foil the Red
strategy.
Dules made the remarks in a
statement issued at the White
House after he reported to Presi-
dent Dwight D. Eisenhower on his
three days of talks with General-
issimo Chiang Kai-shek in For-1
mosa. Dulles returned to Washing-,
ton early today.
Dulles said the Chinese Reds'
new bombardment of Quemoy,1
ending their own cease-fire, is"
designed to "throw roadblocks in!
the way of stabilized tranquility."
"We returned confident that
the Chinese Communists will not
gain their ends either through
military efforts or their propa-
ganda guile," he said.
Chiang made such a pledge int
a communique which he and
Dulles issued jointly in Taipeii
Wednesday.
both a written and oral report to
be presented to a supervisory fac-f
ulty committee.
In addition, three cognate
courses will be required in fields
other than mathematics. The
chief reason for this requirementj
is to get the student out of his
specialized field, Associate Dean
of the Graduate School Robert R.
White said. The courses will most
likely be in the physical or social
sciences, but the decision depends
on the way the student organizes
his program, he added,
Nine credit hours of work in
methcr.:atics beyond the bachelor
of science in engineering level are
also required by the program. A

The previous professional de-

years to complete, Ralph Sawyer,,

The Bachelor of Science graduate
had to complete seven years of

he received his professional de-
gree.
Old Plan 'Unpopular'
This old plan was "not popular
or useful," Sawyer said. Most of
the graduates who had been work-
ing seven years did not want to
bother with a thesis, and those
who did often found it difficult
to get the necessary information
released by their employers, he
noted.
Planning of the new program
was begun about five Years ago
by the curriculum committee of

said, The proposal was presented
to the graduate school last spring.
It was estimated about a dozen
students would enter the program
next fall. This estimate is based

Head Selected
By U' Regents
University Regents yesterday
approved the appointment of Prof.
William D. Robinson as new chair-
man of the internal medicine de-j
partment.
Prof. Robinson, 47 years old,
succeeds Prof. Cyrus C. Sturgis
who resigned in February, 1957.
Prof. Paul Barker has been acting
chairman during the intervening
period.
A graduate of Albion College,
Prof. Robinson headed the Rack-
ham Arthritis Research Unit from
1944 to 1953, when he was named
consultant to the group.
He received a doctor of medicine
degree from the University in 1934,
when he served as an assistant in
the bacteriology department.
From 1936 to 1940 he served as
an instructor in the internal medi-
cine department here. After a
leave of four years, he was ap-
pointed an assistant professor of
internal medicine. He became a
full professor in 1952.
Prof. Robinson left the Univer-
sity from 1940 to 1944 and was1
with the International Health
Division of the Rockefeller Foun-
dation.
He taught at Vanderbilt Uni-
versity, was a member of the
health commission which made a
nutrition survey in Spain, and
was a staff member in charge of
developing a nutrition section in
the Mexican Federal Department
of Health.
Can Michigan bounce back?
This question has been asked innumerable times during the past
week. The answer will be furnished today at 1:30 p.m. when the
Wolverines play host to Minnesota before an estimated 73,000 fans.
Both teams enter today's game with dismal records. Michigan has
a 1-2-1 record, and the Gophers have failed to register a win in four
attempts. But records are tossed aside when these two teams meet.
for both are playing for big stakes and records are meaningless,

*...to head Garg
Reactivation
Of Gargoyle
Announced
By JUDITH DONER
Gargoyle has been reinstated.
The humor magazine, which was
dropped from the list of campus
publications last spring when no
one petitioned for its managing'
positions, was reinstated by the
Board in Control of Student Pub-
lications at the meeting last night.
Former Generation Editor David
Newman, Grad., was named Gar-
goyle editor. John Weichsel, '59.
was appointed art editor and Larry
Snider, '60, and Donald Onkin, '60,.
were announced co-business man-
agers.
Garg To Change
Indicating that Gargoyle will re-
semble the Gargoyle of the past in
name only, Newman stressed the
new concept of the magazine. "It
is going to be a magazine which
represents the campus sense of
humor, expressely geared to the
University," he said.
It will contain parody, satire,
humorous fiction and cartoons
which will concern the thingsf
which students come into contact
with every day, he continued.
Newman announced that an or-
ganizational meeting will be held
"as soon as possible." Publication
is tentatively scheduled for some-
time in November-the issue to be
titled "Back from Camp."
Humor Needed
"I think there is a definite place
for the humor magazine on this
campus," Newman said. A large
amount of student talent here
happens to be funny."
"As a matter of fact," he added,
"Some of the funniest people I'
know go to the University."
Newman said that they have
been working on the idea for a,
"new" Gargoyle officially since
September, but that plans were
being considered even last May,'
after Gargoyle publication was
suspended.
will prevent a damper from fall-
ing over the day's festivities.
Minnesota has lost four straight
games. Against Northwestern,
however, a team which needs no
further comment, the Gophers
outrushed the Wildcats 220 yards
to 113 and had a total net gain
advantage of 357 yards to 222.
First downs were 15-10 in Minne-
sota's favor, but the Gophers still
lost, 7-3. Consequently, if Michi-
gan can bounce back, it will have
to do so against what may be a
formidable opponent.
Coach Bennie Oosterbaan has
also been wondering whether'
Michigan can bounce back. At
yesterday's brief workout, which
was forced indoors by the in-
clement weather, Oosterbaan said,
"You can never tell how football
games will work out. However, I
am sure of one thing. The boys'
will go all out."
Coach Murray Warmath brings
to Ann Arbor a team that is very
similar to Michigan in one respect.
The Gophers in their early games
have shown their ability to con-
tain the running game, but like
Michigan have been very weak on
pass defense. With Noskin and
Ptacek, Michigan will go all out
to capitalize on that weakness.

Prof. Percival Price drove an
armed prowler from his Ann Arbor
home early yesterday, only an
hour after he had returned from
a month-long search in Canada
for his son Alan, '59E.
Having completed a 900 - mile
trip from Moosanie, Ont., he met
his wife in Ann Arbor at 4:30
a.m. yesterday. The couple then
drove home and retired.
About an hour later, the prowl-
er, wearing a mask resembling a
pillowcase, roused the professorl
in his bedroom. The man warned
the couple that he was armed.
The prowler fled when Prof,
Price began to get out of bed.
