McKevitt said yesterday that the addition is planned to open in the spring of 1968. Fraternities will open their houses for inspection by the 1418 registered rushees at 2 p.m. today to begin what has been de- scribed as the biggest rush in the history of the Interfraternity Council. Rush registration will re-open Monday as men's fall rush continues throughout the week. Despite a shortage of student employes in the residence hall system, the University libraries are not short on help, said Frederick H. Wagman, director of University libraries. He had not heard of any difficulty in hiring student employes. He said that the only help shortages occur when the students have the least time, and use the libraries the most, ie, at exam time. Student Government Council has offered funds to the group pressing for low cost housing for expert consulation. The Federa- tion of Cooperative Housing will provide the consultation. Mon- day night at 7:30 this group will hold a meeting on the second floor of the SAB where they will discuss how to move as fast as possible toward their objectives. "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" is the title of this year's Soph Show to be performed on Nov. 18-20 at the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre. The cast includes Jim Hos- biem as Pseudolus, Larry Glover as Lycus, Marcia Heuven as Philia, and Bill Hunt as Miles. The University has been ranked sixth among the nation's colleges and universities by Poor's "Register of Corporations, Directors and Executives" in the number of corporate executives and directors who are alumni. The University, with 1,329 top- executive alumni, follows Harvard (4,135), Yale (2,729), Prince- ton (1,458), University of Pennsylvania (1,433) and New York University (1,342). Only six girls have dropped out of sorority rush, leaving approximately 340 to go on to "second set," which begins today. x* .4Robert S. Ford, associate dean of Rackham School of Graduate Studies, has predicted 120,000 foreign students will be attending college in the United States by 1970. If the University maintains its present per cent of the total, 4.6 per cent, it will have 4,800 foreign students on campus, as opposed to the present number of 1265. Ford suggests a wider distribution of the students among the smaller universities; at present 45 per cent of the y students are concentrated in 40 universities. In the face of a rising number of applications, Ford asserts that colleges and universities must maintain high admission standards and admit only those students with adequate preparation in English, to ensure academic success. The University Activities Center is going to take over the total planning of the International Week, the last week in October. Although it was planned jointly in previous years with the International Student Association and Student Government Council, ISA has dissolved, and SGC has limited the functions of its international committee to concern over only the problems of the international student. Both organizations claim this new arrangement of UAC's concern with activities and SGC's with the students' problems will eliminate much of the overlapping of organization that has occurred in the past. * * * * Four large color prints of the British frigate, Java, and the American frigate, Constitution, which clashed in naval battles during the War of 1812, form a rare set now displayed at the University's Clements Library.

Indian Losses Admitted To Be Mounting Conflict's HeaViest Fighting Threatens To InVolVe Eastern Front NEW DELHI (AP)-The heaviest fighting of the India-Pakistan conflict was swirling across the northern front yesterday and spreading of the struggle to east- ern sectors appeared imminent. Pakistan claimed India's army is now "wholly" on the defensive. An Indian spokesman said "very fierce battles-the heaviest battles so far" were being fought in the Sialkot and Lahore region of northern Pakistan, where each side struggled to protect its cities against the other's tanks. Sialkot is at thetnorthern end of the front 60 miles north of Lahore. Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri warned India may have to take counter measures in east- ern areas of the subcontinent against what he called provocative Pakistani air raids against stra- tegic Indian installations in east India. There has been no large scale ground fighting in the east but the Indian government made clear it will fight to halt what it says are Pakistani threats to air fielcis and supply routes leading to In- dian units on the Red China front. These threats include air raids and what authorities in eastern India said was a drop by Pakis- tani parachutists Friday. All in all, it was a gloomy pic- ture for U.N. Secretary-General U Thant, who arrived in Bombay, India, and is to fly to New Delhi today on the last leg of his paace mission. His just-ended talks in Pakistan generally were regarded in New Delhi as unpromising. Shastri said he wants peace and President Sarvepalli Radhakrish- nan said India does not regard itself at war with Pakistan. But the government made claims that indicated India was very much at war. The Defense Ministry, in the first announcement of casualties, said 1,472 Pakistanis were killed in the period Aug. 5 to Sept. 8. The bodies of 803 Pakistanis were picked up, the ministry said, and 198 were captured. Equipment, losses were put at 191 Pakistani tanks and 33 planes destroyed, compared with 35 In- dian tanks and 23 planes knocked out. No newsman has been able to get close enough to the battlefield to verify any of these figures. But it was unusual for New Delhi to admit the loss of that many of its own tanks and planes. -Daily-Richard Cooper MOTORCYCLES PARKED parallel to the curb except In specially marked places are legal.

Both Nations To End War Kosygin Sends -Letters To Leaders Offering Aid to Negotiations MOSCOW ()-The Soviet Un- ion broadcast its readiness yes- terday to use its good offices to settle the Indian-Pakistani con- flict. But at the same time it gave its full support to the United Na- tions peacemaking effort. To emphasize its interest in ending the conflict, the govern- ment took the unusual step of calling a news conference to read out letters sent by Premier Alexei N. Kosygin to Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri of India and President Mohammed Ayub Khan of Pakistan. The letters of Sept. 4 appealed to both countries to end the con- flict and settle their disputes peacefully. 60 Correspondents About 60 correspondents were called to the foreign office to hear the letters read, first in Russian, then in English. Earlier in the day, a letter from Shastri replying to Kosygin was delivered to the premier thanking him for the proffer of good offices but apparently hold- ing any request that they be used at this time. Instead, both India and the So- viet Union appeared.to feel that first efforts to bring peace should be left to U Thant, UN secretary- general. The letter from Shastri was de- livered to Kosygin by the Indian, ambassador, Triloki N. Kaul. Kaul said through an embassy spokes- man that the Soviet leader "fully supports the action taken by the secretary-general of the United Nations and wishes him every suc- cess." Wish Success The spokesman indicated In- dia's agreement by commenting that, "Nobody wants to do any- thing which would interfere with the work of the secretary-general, since everyone wishes him suc- cess." As :n the past, the Soviet pre- mier blamed the United States for stepping up tension in Asia and indicated "outside sources" were not averse to seeing the India- Pakistan struggle escalate into more bitter war. The letters to Shastri and Ayub Khan, nearly identical, said: "The trend toward further es- calation of the military conflict further heightens the tense sit- uation in southern and southeast Asia created by American imper- ialist aggression. By ROGER RAPOPORT At last year's Ann Arbor police banquet, Police Chief R. J. Gain- sley opened a brief talk by say- ing, "I want to compliment our parking enforcement officers on the fine job they are doing." He proceeded to produce the receipt for a ticket he had payed that afternoon. His wife had parked her car overtime on N. State St. while at the beauty parlor . Mrs. Gainsley's ticket was one of only 117,655 parking tickets written out in Ann Arbor last year. U Students Too And between 30 and 40 per cent of those tickets went to Univer- sity students. The offenses ranged from park- ing motorcycles between parked cars ($5) to meter violations ($1). The basic problem, only 9,300 parking spaces in the campus area, compounded with such stu- dent dilemmas as two-hour classes with - one-hour meters makes the situation something of a daily don't have as much trouble with students as we do with towns- people." Parking enforcement in Ann Arbor is so complex that even a doctoral thesis would hardly do it justice. First there are three motor- cycle men who patrol university streets. They work for and are paid by the City of Ann Arbor. Then there are three meter maids who walk the streets checking meters. Then there are several other officers who police university lots with compact cars. The meter maids and lot polic- ers work for the Ann Arbor Police Department. Their salary, how- ever, come out of funds paid by the Board of Regents to the city for policing parking lots. Confusing Rules "Sometimes it gets confusing," admits meter maid Pat Hoyt. Cer- tain lots allow certain permits. There are Student Publication, Staff Metered, Loading, Hospital, Service, Guest and other permits. A meter maid cannot ticket in located at such places as the Union, on Geddes near Forest, by the Frieze building or near Mason hall. To park legally in a normal parking space, a police officer Jan Sumola suggests, "Imagine you are driving a Mercury wagon." "We used to have 10 or 15 cycles lined up angularly against the curb," he went on. "But it didn't work. Once I saw a line of 21 cycles topple like dominoes." How fair are the police in is- suing tickets? "Really, I think everyone gets a pretty fair break," says meter maid Hoyt. For those offenders who don't think they got a fair break, there is recourse. Every Friday morning, Ann Arbor Police Traffic Lieu- tenant Sloop holds a hearing for irate violators to review cases. Most are resolved there. A few go into the court of Municipal Judge Francis L. O'Brien. Judge O'Brien considers such claims as malfunctioning meters and wrong signs. JUST LAST WEEK: Pierpont, Cutler React To Voice Grievances.
