Four Plead Guilt
In Betting Case
FBy M1ICHIAEL KRAFT
Daily Editorial Director
Three University students yesterday changed their pleas to guilty
in connection with the sale of football betting cards.
Michael Dodgson, '59, John Miller, '61E, and Nick Mitea, '60, were
fined $100 each by Municipal Judge Francis O'Brien. David Martin,
an Eastern Michigan College sophomore arrested Thursday night in
Ypsilanti, also pleaded guilty to similar charges of engaging in an il-
legal occupation.

Convention
Best Method
Of Revision
By ARTHUR W. BROMAGE
(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the last
in a series of 10 articles written by
Prof. Arthur W. Biromage of the Uni-
versity's political science department
on the que tion of calling a Consti-
tutional Co vention. That issue wil
appear on the Nov. 4 ballot.)
If Michigan needs a new consti
tution, the intended way is b
holdng a constitutional conven
tion.
There are other ways to makf
minor changes. In the 50 year,
since the present document wa
drafted, proposed amendment
have averaged more than two
year.
Over half of them-63 amend
ments-have been adopted.
What are the hurdles in sum-
moning a constitutional conven
tion?
First, unless a majority of a
who vote in the November electio
say yes on calling it, the require
total will be lacking. In othe
words, failure to vote on the ca
will count as no.
No Bipartisan Support
Second, bipartisan support doe
not exist.
The Democratic party has de
cided against it because the use o
Senatorial districts for the elec
tion of the convention delegate
would give Republicans a con
trolling voice.
Third, influential statewide or
ganizations are also divided.
would actually be easier to pas
revision themselves than to sum
mon the convention to propose th
revisions.
All that is necessary at the popu
lar referendum on changes is
majority of those voting on tha
particular question.
Inertia Is Obstacle
More agreement exists on th
need for bringing Michigan's con
stitution up to date than on the
way the convention to do it
made up. But the greatest sing
obstacle will be inertia-failure o
people to check the question o
the call on their ballots.
As to specific revisions a con
vention might consider, the Oflic(
of Governor could be made more
effective with broader appointive
power and a four-year term.
The seats in the legislature coul
be redistributed so that the nur
ber of poeple in the state woul
get more consideration than area
in the representative process. Th-
court system could be simplified
and the way judges are chosel
could be re.designed.

Attendance
Drop in '58
By JIM BENAGH
If today's Michigan-Iowa foot-
ball game draws only the 67,000
predicted, University grid attend-
ance will be headed for its biggest
dip in years.
A crowd of that size would boost
the season total to about 297.000-
an average of 74,000. This is far off
the 84,000-per-game pace set in
1957.
Last season the Wolverines drew
over 500,000 to their home games-
the best record in the nation.

Halt, Control Sstem
GENEVA (IP)-Russia called on Britain and the United States
yesterday to join her in an immediate and permanent suspension of
nuclear tests and said only then would she help establish an interna-
tional control system to police such a ban.
Grey-haired Soviet Delegation Chief Semyon K. Tsarapkin ad-
vanced the proposal at the opening public session]of the three-power
nuclear conference. The immediate private Western reaction was that
this represented the usual cart-before-the-horse Russian approach to
the subject.
Speaking after the Russian delegate, United States Ambassador
James J. Wadsworth stressed that the three atomic nations had come
together "to achieve a safeguarded'
agreement to refrain from nuclear
weapons tests." He put the accent U .S. A ttacks

to the problem," Lovell said.
Opposing Lovell's viewpoint,
Goldman said the vagueness of the
Student Government Council plan
and the Sigma Kappa issue were
two separate problems, and that
the Sigma Kappa policy itself
should be settled first.
Assistant Dean of the Literary
College James Robertson also dis-
agreed with Lovell after the meet-
ing. "My own view is that we will
move more quickly to the central
issue by dealing directly with
Sigma Kappa, than if we consider
it in the abstract," he noted.
'Only an Opinion'
Goldman reiterated the point
which he had made at the joint
discussion, that the Board had
"no , -ht to be called in on the
matter," since SGC had only
rendered an opinion and had taken
no punitive action.
The Council president pointed
out that perhaps Dean of Men
Walter B. Rea would agree with
him now that Rea had been as-
sured that the SGC decision made
two years ago did not bind this
council body.
The 1956 ruling stated that Sig-
ma Kappa had until September of
1958 to remove "discriminatory
membership policies" or lose Uni-
versity recognition.

sixth year at Iowa, he has lost
some close games to his Alma
