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. Zarafoneti$ of the department of internal medicine of the medical 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. Wieta p 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." Hold Back Great Society .1 .

Meanwhile, Michigan Selective Service Director Col.

Holmes said that Washington Selective Service officials advised him yesterday that Vinson's let- ter on the subject contained noth- ing to warrant a change. "Unless I am ordered to do so! by my superiors, I do not plan to recommend any change in the1 draft status of the students," Holmes said. In related developments the ACLU's National Counsel Melvin Wulf expiessed doubts over the significance of the opinion on the reclassification given by Assistant Attorney General Fred M. Vinson, Jr. on Tuesday.

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.
