"Students have until midnight tonight to mail their course
evaluation questionnaires," a representative of the Course Evalu-
tions Committee, said yesterday. The committee spokesman termed
the response "not up to expectations" and noted "it has not even
equalled last year's total as yet."
The survey, sponsored by the major student organizations,
is designed to evaluate professors and courses at the University.
The results are to be published in a booklet before preregistration.
The Bookery, the SGC-sponsored book exchange, broke even
on sale of books although it lost money on other expenses,
according to Rick Schenhals, member of the Bookery committee.
The books not bought by students were sold to a local bookstore.
The committee will present final figures in a report to SGC in
about two weeks, at which time SOC will consider whether to
operate the Bookery next semester.
The Student Book Service, a commercial bookstore which sells
texts at a 10 per cent discount, is doing "much better than ex-
pected," according to Prof. Fred Shure, proprietor. He mentioned
having to send special delivery for extra books, in response to
the huge student demand.
Managers of local bookstores could not make definite state-
ments as to whether the Bookery and Book Service had cut into
their businesses. Although several felt the new store "must have"
had some effect, all felt that other factors clouded the issue.

J. Duncan Sells, director of University residence halls, is
scheduled to be released from St. Joseph's Hospital this morning,
nine weeks after his automobile crash where he suffered internal
injuries, fracture of the pelvis in three places, two fused verte-
v brae and fractured ribs. He had continued working from his hos-
pital room and will resume regular office hours gradually.
Formation of the faculty advisory committee for the new
University of Michigan Highway Safety Research Institute was
completed at a general faculty meeting yesterday. Prof. Robert L.
Hess of the school of engineering and associate director of the
Institute of Science and Technology will organize the new in-
stitute's program.
The faculty advisory committee will consist of Professors Jay
A. Bolt and Samuel K. Clark of the engineering school, Prof.
Alfred F. Conrad of the law school, Prof. Donald F. Huelke of
the anatomy department of the medical school, Prof. John B.
Lansing of the economics department, Prof. Arthur W. Melton
of the psychology department, Prof. Irwin M. Rosenstock of the
school of public health, Prof. Melvin L. Selzer of the psychiatry
department, Prof. W. Allen Spivey of the department of statistics
of the school of business administration, and Prof. Chris J. D.

school.
The number of men registered for rush rose to approximately
850 yesterday, Interfraternity Council President Richard A.
Hoppe, '66, said last night. Hoppe predicted a total of 1100 rushees
will have signed up before rush begins Sunday.

At tonight's meeting, Student Government Council will con-
sider a motion to contribute $100 in aid to the Student Legal
Defense Committee in its attempt to defend the 12 Michigan
students who sat in at the Ann Arbor Selective Service board
office in protest against the war in Viet Nam. The SLDC is
attempting to collect $5000 for defense costs. According to the
motion's sponsors, Mickey Eisenberg, '67, and Paula Cameron,
'67, about $2000 has been donated by the faculty members and
remaining $3000 is being sought from students and student
organizations.
Also on the agenda is a motion to establish an interim strue
ture for the Student Housing Association. If passed, the motion
will set up committees dealing with leases, low cost housing, co-
operative housing and improvement of building codes.
The American Conservatory Theatre will launch a series of
"Late, Late Shows" next weekend. "Beyond the Fringe" will be
presented in a new 1966 version for two late night performances
at 11 p.m. after the "Tiny Alice" performance, Friday and Sat-
urday, Jan. 21 and 22 at Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre.
"Endgame" by Samuel Beckett will be presented Friday night,
Jan. 28, after the performance of "Tartuffe."

Reveals No
Chances To
End Fighting
Asks $112.8 Billion
With No Tax Increase
Many National Laws
By The Associated Prrpc
WASHINGTON - President
Lyndon B. Johnson told Congress
that the "brutal and bitter" con-
flict in Viet Nam need not tor-
pedo the "Great Society," in his
State of the Union speech last
night.
But he proposed holding out a
bigger share of paychecks to help
simplify taxes along with minor
upward boosts-but not general
tax rise-to help finance the Viet-
namese conflict as part of a rec-
ord-breaking $112.8 billion federal
budget for the new fiscal year
starting next July 1.
Many congressmen were against
any proposed tax hikes, no mat-
ter how minor: "I am 100 per
cent opposed," said Sen Vance
Hartke (D-Ind).
In his address to a joint ses-
sion of Congress, Johnson propos-
ed, among other things:
--A four-year term for House
members instead of the present
two-year term;
-Creation of a new Cabinet
department of transportation;
--A speeding up of the anti-
poverty program in spite of ex-
penses of the Vietnamese war.
He promised to pursue peace but
said that in Viet Nam "we will
stay until aggression has stopped."
He said his peace campaign so
far has produced "no response to
prove either success or failure."
Johnson sounded no threats or
ultimatums.
But he said too, that, "We do
not in nd to abandon Asia to
conquest."
At the end of his lengthy ad-
dress, Johnson had a somewhat
encouraging note on the war: "I
am hopeful, and I will try, to end
this battle and return our sons
to their desires." he said.
Johnson could give no slight-
est clue, however, as to when it
might be possible to persuade the
North Vietnamese to talk peace.
Nor, did he say how long the
United States might continue its
pause in the bombing of North
Viet Nam, now in its 20th day.
In the new budget, however, the
increased spending will go large-
