LXXVI, No. 57 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1965 SEVEN CENTS Plans Huge Celebration for Anniversary SIX PAGES in 1967 By ROBERT KLIVANS First of Two Articles As 31,000 students of the Uni- versity worry over tomorrow's bluebook, next week's paper, and the semester's finals, a select group of administrators, faculty, and students are diligently laying the groundwork for an event so far in the future that it is still only circled spots on a calendar. Yet this event, the Sesquicentennial Celebration of the University, is shaping up as one of the largest celebrations in any college's his- tory. In 1967, the 150th year of the University's existence, educators, scholars, artists, and students from all over the world will flock to Ann Arbor in a variety of con- ferences, celebrations, and cere- monies. As 1967 approaches, the Sesqui- centennial's symbol, UM over a 150, will become more and more predominant on the University's landscape, and in its publications. Richard L. Kennedy, the Execu- tive Director of the Sesquicenten- nial, described the preliminary planning of the celebration as "nearly complete," and added that the event was now "moving into the execution phase." Kennedy and his staff have been working on the 150th for close to three years. The main controlling body is the Central Sesquicentennial C o m m i t t e e, chaired by Dean Charles W. Join- er of the Law School. Composed of alumni, faculty, administration, and students, the 16-man com- mittee oversees the general plan- ning for 1967. The theme of the Sesquicenten- nial is "Knowledge, Wisdom and the Courage to Serve." It will be carried out through five major ceremonies, which form the basis of the year's celebrations. -Major Ceremony I will be dedicated to the Alumni of the University. More than one out of every thousand Americans is an alumnus or student of the Uni- versity. They reach from the pin- nacles of industrial corporations to the heart of government de- cision making. The first major ceremony will be an opportunity to honor the most distinguished graduates of the Mother of State Universities. The celebration will occur on March 1-4, 1967. The highlight of the event will be a splendid banquet at Cobo Hall in Detroit, within a few blocks of the site of the Uni- versity's first classrooms. The fea- tured speaker will be President Johnson plus a host of other dig- nitaries and alumni. The size of the banquet is open to conjecture, though each of the University's 215,000 alumni will receive an in- vitation. -Major Ceremony II will take place April 26-29, and will center on "Higher Education in Tomor- row's World." Representatives from 800 of the world's colleges and universities will be invited to dis- cuss the challenge to education in future society. This event will be simultaneous with the 1967 commencement ex- ercises during which a colorful procession of the world's academic leaders will highlight the gradu- ation. -Major Ceremony III will once again focus on the role of the University in society, this time in the context of "The University and the Body Politic." On July 12-15, statesmen, educators and econ- omists will probe the responsibili- ties of higher education and the reciprocal obligations of the public to the university. Included in this conference will be a special cere- mony honoring the representatives of foreign governments present in Ann Arbor. -Major Ceremony IV will bring to the campus an assortment of the world's most distinguished men to discuss the Sesquicenten- nial theme "Knowledge, Wisdom and the Courage to Serve." Known as the "Thirty Great Minds" cere- mony, it will include scholars, artists, government leaders, and authors participating in lectures, seminars, and informal discus- sions during the first week of October in 1967. Prof. Robert C. Angell, in charge of the committee selecting the "Thirty Great Minds" said that the list of participants will not be made known until next spring. He explained that the University is searching for international and cultural diversity in its selections. Attempts are being made to have as much personal contact as pos- sible with the "Thirty Great Minds." Speculation is that classes may be cancelled for a part of the week in an effort to take ad- vantage of the opportunity to meet the world famous guests. -Major Ceremony V will be a world-wide conference on the population. explosion problem in developing nations. Researchers will meet at the University Nov. 15-17 to assess current informa- tion on this problem and point the way toward a feasible solution. All these ceremonies will be de- signed to inform the student, edu- cate the citizenry, and bring rec- ognition to the Mother of State Universities. Universities. LINDSAY WINS N Y i r 'E Hughes Wins! What's New at 764-1817Huge N.J. Hotline "In the past a general question of the relation of hours to credit has been raised by members of the faculty," Prof. Sheridan Baker, chairman of the Literary College Curriculum Committee said last night. In view of this a possible survey was discussed at yesterday's committee meeting to delve into this problem. It was decided that the faculty proposal passed last spring in regard to the redistribution of hours will come before the Regents at this month's meeting. This proposal would reduce the credit- hour requirement of the students by having a required number of courses rather than a required number of hours. If the Re- gents pass it, the proposal will go into effect for the fall, 1966 term. Mayor Wendell E. Hulcher recently asked the Ann Arbor Board of Realtors to ensure "the immediate availability of up to a dozen existing renovated housing units for the current emer- gency needs of families facing eviction or living in substandard housing." Hulcher's statement came as a reply to a letter by Douglas V. Wilson, president of the Board, containing the names of five realtors as suggested appointments to the newly-established housing. commission. Wilson said that with the closeness of the vote he felt it is prudent that the commission be composed of individuals who are specialized in this particular field. Ben Moore, president of Local 1583 of the American Federa- tion of State, County and Municipal Employes (AFL-CIO), will file a petition next week with the State Labor Mediation Board to be recognized as the sole bargaining agent for the University employes. Local 1583 is the fourth labor group to file with the Board requesting recognition as bargaining agent. The University contends that Michigan's labor legislation, the Hutchinson Act as it was amended this summer does not apply to the University and refuses to recognize any union as the employes bargaining agents. The Board will decide if the act applies to the University and which union or unions will represent the employes at an open meeting on Nov. 23 in Detroit. "The newly revamped Philharmonic Hall at Lincoln Center, New York City, is now one of the best halls today," Gyorgy San- dor, internationally famous pianist said yesterday. Sandor, who heads the Doctoral Program in Piano Performance here, will play a Liszt-Bartok recital Dec. 14 at the hall, which recently under- went a $1.3 million investment to correct acoustical deficiencies. SWiretap Sources indicate that the Board of Governors at the Law * School will be considering over the next five or six weeks the possibility of a room-rate increase. If any definite action is taken, it is speculated that an announcement will be forthcom- ing around February or March of next year. A similar type of increase was put into effect last year and is in operation at the present. A recent editorial in the Res Gesta, the weekly newspaper of the Law School, stated that such an increase was inevitable due to a $900,000 renovation plan which is to be supported in part by student fees. However, it also urged the law students to express their views as to how the Lawyers Club might cut costs and thus "minimize the increase." It suggested that perhaps costs could be reduced by decreasing the staff of the maid or janitorial service. NATIONALISTS: Triumph Cavanagh Re-elected; Detroiters Apparently Back Flouridation By BRUCE WASSERSTEIN and STEVE WILDSTROM Democratic Gov. R i c h a r d triumphed in the New Jersey gu- bernatorial sweepstakes yesterday in a campaign which centered around the issues of academic freedom, In Detroit, voters returned in- cumbent Mayor Jerome P. Cav- anagh to a second term and ap- parently approved fluoridation of their water supply. With 92 per cent of the state's vote counted Hughes had 1,242,606 votes to 883,017 for his Republican rival, State Sen. Wayne Dumont Jr. Hughes' plurality of over 350,000 was the largest ever racked up in a New Jersey gubernatorial elec- tion. He got 58 per cent of the vote. Only the landslide victories of President Johnson last year and former President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1956 outstripped Hughes' tally. Republican Disaster The victory took on the propor- tions of a second straight election disaster for the Republicans, as the Democrats took both houses of the legislature behind Hughes. Last time the Democrats control- led the legislature was when they rode in on Woodrow Wilson's coat- tails in the 1912 election. Hughes and the Democrats cracked Republican strongholds that only President Johnson had broken last year in his landslide plurality of 904,000. Hughes' mar- gin could not reach that total] but it threatened to break the 34- year-old record plurality of 230,- 000 for a gubernatorial election.

Republican Moderates Strengthened Split Tickets Spur Democratic Sweep Of Other City Posts By CLARENCE FANTO Republican Congressman John V. Lindsay yesterday won a solid victory in New York City's hotly contested mayoral election. His triumph catapults him into the forefront of contenders for the GOP presidential nomination in 1968 or 1972. The victory was interpreted as a catalyst for liberal Republican forces across the nation. Widespread ticket-spliting re- sulted ina Democratic sweep of most other city posts, including City Council President and Comp- troller. With 85 per cent of the city's ballots counted, Lindsay had 943,000, Beame 877,000, and Buck- ley 276,000. The CBS Television Network's Vote Profile Analysis indicated that Lindsay would wind up with 45 per cent of the vote, Beame 43 and Buckley 12. Wide Margins Beame won by wide margins in Brooklyn and the' Bronx, both with large Jewish populations which swung behind the Demo- cratic candidate. However, Lindsay scored heavily in Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island. Conservative candidate William F. Buckley rolled up fewer votes than had been predicted for him. He won about 12 per cent of the city-wide vote. The result of the contest was viewed as highly significant for Republicans throughout the 'na- tion. Lindsay's victory not only places him in a favorable position for a possible future GOP presi- dential nomination but also in- creases the strength of the party's moderate-liberal wing and figures such as Gov. Mark Hatfield of Oregon, New Jersey Senator Clif- ford Case and California Senator Thomas Kuchel. Conservative Resurgence However, political analysts had contended that a Lindsay defeat, spurred by Buckley's efforts could lead to a resurgence of ultra-con- servative forces. The lead see-sawed all evening between Beame and Lindsay. After Lindsay took an early lead, Beame surged ahead with a 28,000-vote lead with 20 per cent of the votes in. Then, as the proportion of counted ballots approached 50 per cent, Lindsay went into a slight lead, lost it again, and then re- gained it. The reporting of returns was slow because long lines of voters were at many polling places at the 9 p.m. closing hours. These voters were permitted to cast their bal- lots, thus delaying reporting of final totals. All polling places in the city are automated.

Total Request The fact that the University's total budget request and its allot- ment for increased enrollment are higher than those of both Mich- igan State and Wayne may be accounted for by the greater em- I phasis on graduate training at the University than at the other two schools. While direct costs to the Uni- versity for training freshmen and sophomores is $17.74 per student per credit hour and $29.94 for juniors and seniors, the cost for training students engaged in doc- toral programs comes to $125.01.
