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 Bill 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. for Income Tax 50 per cent of the faculty, all of the teaching fellows in the major departments, and a number of students ranging from one-fourth of the senior class to one-thir- teenth of the freshmen, all select- ed at random.
