WASHINGTON (/P)-The 1966
election campaign wheeled along
yesterday through clouds of un-
certainty over Viet Nam, back-
lash, and living costs toward Re-
publican gains of modest dimen-
sions in Tuesday's climactic bal-'
loting.
Unless undetected undercurrents'
of sentiment are stirring among
a prospective 59 million voters, a
survey completed five days before
the election indicates the Republi-
cans are likely to gain fewer than

net of one Senate seat and possi-

ernorships.
The GOP can count on gains in
one or both branches of some state
legislatures, the analysis indi-
cated, but not a nation wide sweep.
No single issue stands out as a
pivotal one on which the election'
outcome will be decided.
The war in Viet Nam seems to
be the greatest concern. It has
been talked and argued about as
a campaign issue, but there are no
signs it will sway many votes.
Viet Nam is an immeasurable
factor. Nor can it be determined

pace of Negro progress will stir

whether resentment against in-

The Faculty Assembly of the'
literary college voted yesterday to
defer a resolution proposing that
all courses in LSA carry four
hours credit,. that students 'shall
normally carry four courses per
term" and that a total of 128
hours le required for the Bachelor
of Arts degree.
The report was presented to the
dean and the executive committee
of the LSA by Prof. Albert Feuer-
'werker, director of the Chinese
studies department.
The executive committee re-
quested the curriculum committee
to= consider the proposal and de-
liver a report on the proposal to
the executive committee.
The curriculum committee re-
ported "if we overvalue our
courses in terms of credit hours,
we will create difficulties for stu-
dents who wish to transfer to
other schools or who wish to go to
graduate school" as one of the
disadvantages of the proposal.
They cited the "opportunity to
exchange breadth for depth" as
one advantage to the proposed
program. The curriculum commit-
tee's report stated that "the stu-
dent representatives to . . . the
committee placed particular em-
phasis on this point."
The report added that the "prin-'
cipal disadvantage of the programI
is that "it would reduce the num-I

Charter Realty First
To Raise Rents On
Fall of 1967 Leases
By STEVE WILDSTROM
There were indications yester-
day that there may be some fairly
substantial increases in student
apartment rents next year.
Students seeking living facilities
for Fall, 1967, have reported that
monthly rents for modern four-
man, two-bedroom apartments
close to central campus are run-
ning between $70 and $75 per man.
Comparable apartments cost ap-
proximately $60 to $65 per man
this year for a twelve-month lease.
Students living in buildings
managed by Charter Realty have
received lease renewal notices for
next year and have reported their
rents have been raised from $3 to
$12 per month per man. Repre-
sentatives of Charter were not im-
mediately available for confirma-
tion of the increases or comment
on the causes of the rent hikes.
Apparently, - Charter is the only
major Ann Arbor realtor to have
sent out renewal notices.
,Pulte, Inc.
Patrick Pulte, of Patrick Pulte,
Inc., a major apartment owner,
Said last night that his firm is
not planning any general increase
in rents. He said that although
there may be some spot adjust-
ments, both upward and down-
ward, no accross-the-board chan-
ges are planned.
Mrs. Elizabeth Leslie, assistant
director of student-community re-
lations, said that she was not
aware of any general increases al-
though she had heard unconfirm
ed rumors of one realtor planning
to raise rents. Mrs. Leslie said any
increases would most likely be the
result of generally rising costs.
A student living in Carriage
House, a Charter managed build-
ing, said that her rent for next
year has been raised from $65
to $74 per month. Another stu-
dent living in a Charter managed
building reported an increase of $3
to $66.
