brought before the Regents next month.

M keN1958 NewS
By JOAN KAATZ
The University year of 1958 is about to fade into history .. .
and as It exits it leaves several issues resolved and equally as many
still uncertain.
From the Administration's viewpoint, It has been a year of
gradual expansion on an austerity budget. For the students the year
has been one of defining the place of the student on campus.
Tradition was departed from on Jan. 7 when Gov. G. Mennen
Williams appointed a Harvard graduate instead of a University alum-
nus to a Board of Regents position.
Donald D. M. Thurber, Grosse Pointe publisher, was selected by
the governor to fill the seat vacated by Paul L. Adams, who resigned
to become the State's Attorney General.

Administration of the University's Dearborn Center was estab-
lished by a Regent's bylaw on Jan. 11. The plan called for division
of the Center into three areas - business administration, liberal arts
and engineering - with both graduate and undergraduate work in
each.
The executive functions of the Center will be carried out by
a dean of the school and an executive committee.
The Center is scheduled to open next fall providing the legisla-
ture grants funds for operations.
Physical expansion of the University was signified by the open-
ing of the Undergraduate Library on Jan. 16 and the completion of
Mary Markley Dormitory for occupancy in September.
The $3,105,000 library structure, which opened the day before
final exams began, includes both the education and engineering
libraries. Open stacks and midnight closing hours were additional
unique features.
Construction of Markley Hall, designed to house 1,200 women,
began in 1957. Formal opening of the dormitory, which is in the
shape of a modified 'H', was held Dec. 13. There are nine individual
'Dousing units in four wings. In
the center of the building are the

Voluntary Retirement
Of Communist Boss
WARSAW (P) -- Mao Tse-Tung,
Communist China's po l i t i c a 1,
economic and governmental boss,
is quitting as chief of state next
month.
Peiping confirmed it yesterday
but emphasized that Mao will re-

Party, said diplomatic advices

Foreign Minister Chen Yi noti-
fied foreign diplomats in Peiping
that the 65-year-old father of
the Red Chinese revolution -
though keeping his big job as
party chairman - will retire from
the presidency upon the expira-
tion of his term in January "to
conserve himself to still more im-
portant tasks."
Hint Kremlin Move
Though the retirement was pic-
tured by the Chinese as strictly
voluntary, Western envoys in this
Polish Communist capital ex-
pressed belief that Soviet Premier
Nikita Khrushchev might have
had a hand in it.
They said that if Khrushchev
did not precipitate Mao's step-
down, they were certain he was
pleased with it. They believed the
retirement was discussed, at yes-
terday's meeting of the Soviet
Communist Party Central Com-
mittee in Moscow.
Two Worries
The Soviet Union, they said,
has been worried about two things
in relations with its biggest Coin-
munist neighbor:
1) The possibility of adverse ef-
fects from Mao's drastic commune
policy, which masses worker and
their families into labor battalions

campaign in agriculture and in-
dustry.
2) Fear of an adventurist for-
eign policy In the Far East at a
time when Soviet attention cen-
ters on Berlin and the Middle
East.
Chen emphasized the voluntary
aspect of the retirement at a
briefing of ambassadors, ministers
and charge d'affaires.
"This wish of the president is
not sudden," he said. "He took the
decision a long time ago and

Lovell Discusses Problem
Of Alcohol in U.S. Today
By PHILIP POWER
"Alcoholism is probably the third largest public health problem
in the United States today," Dr. Harold W. Lovell of the New York
Medical College noted in a lecture delivered last night.
Dr. Lovell remarked that of the some 70,000,000 persons in the'
country who drink, fully six per cent eventually become alcoholics.
Dr. Lovell remarked that for a long time alcoholism was regarded
not as a true organic disease, but merely as a symptom of more im-
portant underlying psychological problems in the patient. But re-,

Dr. Lovell and his associates, sug-
gests that a malfunction of the
endocrine system of the body may
be a cause for alcoholism. Enzy-
matic disturbances have also been
suggested.
Dr. Lovell- noted that a history
of compulsive drinking to excess,
tremors of the hands and tongue
and sometimes liver damage are
diagnostic clues to alcoholism.
Treatment of alcoholism, Dr.
Lovell noted, is thus now under-
taken by the psychiatrist jointly
with the ordinary doctor.
The alcoholic is usually confined
to a hospital, where he is deprived
of all liquor at once. Dr. Lovell
said that "once a man is an alco-
holic, he can never safely drink
again."
