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 D ormdining rooms, music rooms, coed Dom Food lounges and snack bar.

West Hints Khrushchev Behind Move Minister Emphasizes 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- main at the helm of Red China as boss of the Chinese Communist Party, said diplomatic advices reaching Warsaw, 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 f or Red China's big leap forward 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 Sspoke to me about it as long ago as 1954." -Dally-Michael Rontal "EDIFICE, COMPLEX"-Sign on the sculpture in the Under- graduate Library, gift of the class of '58, attempts description of the structure.

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.

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."
