Maintain Excellence To maintain excellence, Nelson suggested, we depend on the sup- port of the interested part of the population. Using figures from a survey taken for the State Council of College Presidents, he said that five per cent of the state's popu- lation actively supported institu- tions of higher learning. This group is the most im- portant as far as higher education' is concerned, Nelson said, because they are aware of the non-teach- ing functions of the University. The mass appeal for support seems to have failed. We must appeal to the interested five per cent. "A university "of this kind must depend on the active, in- telligent support of this five per cent. They must keep the Uni- versity great." Set Apart According to Nelson two things met the University apart from other institutions. The first is the rate of enrollment in the graduate school. About forty per cent of the campus is enrolled in graduate school. The second is the high level of research at the University. "None surpass the overall record of this university," Nelson said. Research is an integral part of the Univer- sity. "Take it away and you take away the excellence." Debates Called 'Educational' Eisenhower WASHINGTON (R) - Presi- dent Dwight D. Eisenhower yester- day gave his official blessing to the biggest adult education pro- ject ever tackled in this country-- the Nixon-Kennedy debates which get under way Monday night. The Adult Education Associa- tion of the Uniited States is help- ing local units organize listeningj and viewing groups throughout1 the nation. Association officials hope that between three and four million adult Americans will meet in schools, churches and homes to hear and watch the debates and follow them with their own dis- cussions and arguments. In a telegram to Herbert C. Hunsaker of Chicago, president of the AEAUS, Eisenhower said, "It is good to learn of the efforts being made by the adult education association to encourage our citizens to study the forthcoming debates between our national can- am R Leg as t pros assa that need Pr Uni ech best cal desi sion 'T prow nun hom ing una "IV that tak law, abou pect [pproved kfter two days of stormy de- e, the State Legislature last ht enacted a new program of dical care for 120,000 of Michi- 's neediest elder citizens. dichigan thus became the first te to legislate a medical care .n tied to the new federal pro- rm which goes into operation . 1.

Elliott, in his second year as coach, and Smith, in his last as a player, hope that this will be Michigan's year to rise to football fame again. Today's contest will begin to shed light on this question. 'SCRAPPLE FROM THE APPLE': SGC Seminar Debates Jazz -, . JOSEPH A. BOYD ...new director * ost Wolverines Faee Swift, Club Quarterback Battle May Develop Between Soph Glinka, Senior Gros By HAROLD APPLEBAUM Associate Sports Editor Michigan will begin phase two of its football Renaissan under Head Coach Bump Elliott when it opens its 1960 se: son against Oregon this aftrnoon in Michigan Stadium. A crowdof approximately 50,000 is expected to be c hand to see Elliott's second Wolverine squad battle tl speedy visitors, who opened its own season with a convinc1i 33-6 victory over Idaho. The Wolverines have ben established as five point favo emphasis" in the work of the' Institute, which was established in response to the Soviet launch- ing of Sputnik I, but is an "expan- sion in the scope of the Institute." Research Total The University carries out a yearly total of $20 million worth of research, most of it in government contracts. Approximately half of it is done in the "Willow Run La- boratories. Research activities in the la- boratories include "Project Michi- gan" which produced the high- resolution, side-looking radar an- nounced last spring. The work of the Institute, since its recent establishment, has in- cluded the support of research projects, presentation of lectures, seminars and consultations; co- operation with off-campus agen- cies in research programs; and the institution of appointments of scientists and engineers. Prof. Boyd has been a faculty member since 1949. In July 1958, he was appointed to the position of director of the newly created Willow Run Laboratories. Pauper's Means Test The new law will provide home nursing care for the 60,000 resi- dents now collecting old age as- sistance plus physical examina- tions for persons applying for as- sistance at age 65. Standard Blue Cross-Blue Shield type coverage for another 60,000 persons not re- ceiving old age assistance but who are unable to pay major medical costs is also a feature of the pro- gram. Prof. Cohen viewed the bill as "a pauper's means test" approach to medical care for the aged. "The tendency of the bill," he predicted, "would be to hospitalize more older people who might have been taken care of at home if the original bill had passed." By CYNTHIA NEU "Scrapple from the Apple" by Charlie Parker (based on "I Got Rhythm) was the overture to the Student Government Reading and Discussion program as the first seminar group met yesterday to discuss American jazz. "Jazz is a lively art and its lan- guage is continuously changing. There as an unfortunate tendency to become an addict of one form or another," Prof. H. W. Hitchcock Alter Schedule For Picketim The Ann Arbor Direct Action Committee held its second meet- ing of the new year last night. The members decided to revise the picketing schedule of local chain stores on Saturdays when there are home football games. The picketing will start at 10 a.m. and continue until 1 p.m. in order to reach the out-of-town football audience. Gordon Carey, National Field Director of the Congress of Ra- cial Equality spoke at the meeting on the recent advances in the sit- in movement. of the music school, leader of the discussion said. Phenomenal Changes The most impressive thing to Prof. Hitchcock is the phenomenal changes which have taken place in jazz, so that each style should be appreciated for itself. "Whether the style be as tight and tense as that of the Chicago school or the tame swing of Goodman, the re- vival of New Orleans jazz or the self-consciously progressive style of Stan Kenton, they must be ap- proached on their own level," Hitchcock said. The group compared the styles of Charlie Parker and Johnny Hodges, noting that Parker gave a warmth of tone to the alto sax while Hodges had a smoother sound which might even have fit in with Guy Lombardo's tech- nique. Contrast Noted Another contrast was noted in the treatment of rhythm by the two musicians. Hodges tends to push the beat, while Parker usu- ally lags slightly behnid it. Another major difference noted was in phrase structure. In the 1930's it was customary to use a square cut structure. This gave way to a smooth or flowing non- symmetrical phrasology such as Parker uses. Parker also deviates further from the choral patterns as shown in his version of "Em- braceable You" than does a more conventional jazz artist such as Benny Goodman. Since jazz is made up of techni- cal musical arrangement and im- provistion, the consideration for pure technique was opposed to spontaneity of the works was questioned. It was pointed out that new arrangements of old numbers can be just as sincerely felt as original compositions, and that tightly or- ganized numbers can still consti- tute "jazz." Performers Judged In answer to the query, "How do you judge a jazz performer?" Hitchcock said "One measure of a really great jazz musician is how long he can sustain the listeners." He creates a thread in his style and tries to get you to believe in it. If he succeeds he has fulfilled his purpose. One of the participants in the discussion pointed out that cre- ativity and inventiveness must be added to proficiency in jazz. There is also the element of personal taste and reception of the artist's communication. The next meeting of the semi- nar on "American Jazz"' is ten- tatively scheduled for Oct. 7. ites over the Ducks, whose 8-2 rec- ord last season placed them 11th in the final Associated Press poll. Michigan finished the season with a 4-5 mark. Brought Team Up Elliott, who took over the coach- ing reins last year from Bennie Oosterbaan, brought the team from the depths (after six straight losses) back to respectability by winning four of its last seven out- ing last year. 'Now, with basically the same squad, 34 lettermen, and some sophomore help, Elliott will be trying to return Michigan to the 'forefront of Big Ten football. The first step in this task will be complicated by the presence today of a strong Oregon squad coached by Len Casanova. The Ducks are somewhatinexperienc- ed in the line, but have a vet- eran 'track team' backfield which includes Dave Grosz, the nation's number eight man in total of- fense last year, at quarterback;. Cleveland Jones, a 5'31/2", 148- pound scatback, described as a twin to Buddy Young; and Dave Grayson, a :09.8 in the 100-yard dash. Slight Change The Michigan attack will be only slightly altered from last year when Elliott introduced the three platoon system to Big Ten football and the winged-T offense to Michigan. Despite the moderate revision, which includes a new role for the Raiders, last year's defensive specialists, Michigan will still de- pend on the multiple unit system and the straight winged-T de- veloped by Forest Evashevski at Iowa. However, if the Wolverines are to return to the top ranks this season, it will depend largely on the performance of a broad shouldered sharpshooter named Dave Glinka, rather than on sys- tems. A 6', 195-pounder from Toledo Catholic Central, Glinka will be See MICHIGAN, Page 6 UAR Le Visits U.S. For Session NEW YORK (W - A smilins President Gamal Abdel Nasser o the United Arab Republic, flea in yesterday to swell the star studded ranks of foreign head: of state, here for the United Na tions meeting. A few hours earlier, Presiden Eisenhower departed the hecti scene and returned to Washing ton. Nasser, hatless and wearing ! gray suit and white tie, landed a Idlewild airport at 4:32 p.m., an( stepped onto American soil to the first time. About 400 diplomats from Aral and Asian states welcomed hin plus about 1,000 others outside th immediate arrival area. Amon the greeters were 50 members o an American Negro nationalis movement, with signs proclaimin "Allah is the greatest.* Major American Jewish organi zations decided not to demon strate against the Arab leader despite his bitter enmity towar Israel. They reasoned that an indignities they might inflict o: him would only worsen alread grave Arab-Jewish relations. In a brief statement in Englisi Nasser said he hoped to join wit] other UN nations to "create more favorable atmosphere fo the establishment of peace base on justice." The small daughter of an Ara diplomat presented Nasser wit] a bouquet. But when he tried t kiss her she burst into tears an turned away. Nasser will make his headquar ters, when not at the UN, a Sands Point on Long Island. Also in New York yesterda was Oliver Powers, vainly seek ing an audience with Soviet Pre mier Nikita S.
