-e The poll asked faculty members
- to vote "in favor' or "opposed"
. to the Executive Committee's
- resolution advocating return to
- the two-semester system with an
- "enriched" summer half-term.
Originally faculty members had
been asked to respond by April
28, but an extension was granted
until June as a result of pres-
sures on the faculty at the end
of the term,
It is thought that if the final
vote favors return to the two-
semester system, the results will
not be taken directly to the Re-
gents who have final authorilty in
all calendar matters. It is more
likely that they would be pre-
sented to either the President, a
Vice-President, or the Faculty As-
sembly for further action. The
Regents have already approved
the University calendar for at
least the next two years.
The Executive Committee spon-
sored the referendum after re-
ceiving the report of the LSA!
Committee on the Calendar head-
ed by Prof. GeorgeC E Hay, chair-
man of the mathematics depart-
ment.
The Calendar Committee had
conducted an i n v o l v e d and
thorough investigation of all the
ramifications of both the semes-
ter and trimester system. The
Committee's unanimous report to
the Executive Committee recom-
mended keeping the present tri-
mester system, with changes to
make it work better.
The Calendar Committee relied
primarily on questionnaires asking
students and faculty opinion to
arrive at its findings. They polled

STUDENTS AT THE UNIVERSITY of Wisconsin Madison
Campus voted 6146-3906 in favor of abolishing faculty and
administration control of non-classroom affairs in a referendum
held Wednesday. The proposal must be approved by the faculty
before the Wisconsin Student Senate can begin gradual take-
over of authority now held by administrators and faculty. If the
change is not approved by the faculty, students expect a con-
frontation with the faculty, according to a member of the
Wisconsin Daily Cardinal staff.

OPPONENTS TO DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME are seeking
legal action to head off a petition drive to place the issue on
the November ballot. A Detroit attorney representing farm,
movie, and bowling interests asked yesterday for rehearings of
~ a suit seeking to stop the referendum.
The action followed the submission of 197,000 signatures
to the attorney general's office calling for a referendum. The
State Board of Canvassers is checking the valid-ity of the signa-
tures. If 123,096 of the names on the lists are those of registered
voters, the issue will be submitted to a vote.
If there is a referendum, the measure passed by the legisla-
ture allowing the state to remain on standard' time would be
temporarily nullified. Michigan would then go on daylight sav-
ings time for the first time in more than 20 years.
UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA trustees voted yester-
day to either terminate or transfer the university's controversial
germ warfare research projects.
Students and some faculty members have attacked the pro-
jects as being immoral and contend it violates university policy
that research be freely publishable. Both projects are secret.
The meeting of the trustees was unaccompanied by demon-
strations which marked Wednesday's meeting.
THE UNIVERSITY'S FLINT COLLEGE has organized two
more academic fields into departments. The Regents approved
departmental status for the subjects of philosophy and political
science last week. Department chairmen will be named later this .
spring. The College now has 13 departments.
A GENERAL STRIKE of students and faculty recently shut
down Catholic University in Washington, D.C., for five days.
The strike was held in protest of $he dismissal of Reverend Char-
les E, Curran, an assistant professor of moral theology, who was
noted for his liberal views on the Church's stand on birth con-
trol and other issues-
The strike was ended after the reinstatement of Curran.
Following the announcement of his rehiring, Father Curran told
his students, "We have formed a marvelous community working
for a common cause . . . working for the betterment of Catholic
scholars and the university. To stop our efforts now would be
irresponsible. This must be the beginning, not the end."
FORMATION OF A 39-MEMBER citizens advisory committee
to the Michigan School Finance Study was announced today by
the State Board of Education.
The committee, representing virtually all segments of the
state's interests, will continue until Sept. 30 when the study is
scheduled to be completed. The study, delving into all facets of
education financing, was authorized by the Legislature.
The committee is to meet first with the State Board of,
Education and the study's research staff on May 24 in Lansing
for a day-long session in which the members will advise the study
team regarding a number of basic policy issues.

Revised Measure
Reconsideration Likely Next Week;
Focus Shifts to SenateeDeliberatin'
By WALLACE IMMEN
The state House of Representatives defeated its version of Gov:
George Romney's state income tax bill last night in a vote which
demonstrated an almost total lack of Democratic support.
The amended measure. providing for income taxes of two and a
half per cent on individuals. six per cent on corporations and seven
per cent on financial institutioiu, also met opposition from eight
Republicans in the roll call, losing 48-57.
Both parties appeared willing to reconsider the bill. but it was
returned to committee, apparentl for action early next week.
The focus now reverts to the Senate, which previously defeated
the bill in a similar form. Action on the bill in the House must be
taken before a May 15 deadline for new bills.
