The members are James Seder, '61; Wallace Sagendorph, '61; Jesse McCorry, '62; Robert Rose, '62; Assistant Dean of Women Elizabeth Davenport; Assistant Dean of Men John Bingley, and Prof. Samuel Eldersveld of the political science department. The membership selection committee was set up by the Council last spring to administer the University regulation, passed at the same time, which says "All recognized student organizations shall select membership and afford opportunities to members on the basis SOVIETS: Th"reaten lk-Out On Debate UNITED NATIONS (M'-- The Soviet Union threatened yesterday to walk out on United Nations dis- armament debate. The United States replied that it refused to be intimidated by such threats, and challenged the Soviets to join in a workable dis- armament program. Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Valerian A. Zorin told the UN's main political committee that if the United States and its allies insist upon pressing their disarm- ament proposals, the committee's work will become impossible. Swainson BarsM Say s Fee Hike 'fly from Cole2 WSU Bars Propaganda' By Ex-Reds In an apparent reversal of it month-old policy, Wayne Stat University yesterday forbades meeting on campus that woul have featured Communist speak ers. Mrs. Helen Winter, once liste as one of the top Communists i Michigan, was notified by WSI that she would not be permitted t hold a meeting of the "Globa Book Forum" at WSU's McGrego Memorial Center. Author Harve. O'Connor ("Mellon's Millions", was scheduled to speak at th Frday evening event. WSU President Clarence B. Hil berry said the meeting would no have "conformed" to the educa tional purposes of the Center. H said the meeting would have vio lated a rule against use of campu facilities for "propaganda or self Interest.", No Mention Hilberry did not mention Mrs Winter's past Communist connec- tions. She was convicted three ears ago under the Smith Act o: conspiracy to overthrow this gov- ernment by violence. The Supreme Court reversed the convictions. Her husband Carl, chairman o: the Michigan Communist Party scerved part of a five-year prisor term on his 1949 conviction foi similar alleged conspiracy. He turned down an invitation this week from WSU's Independeni Socialist Club to speak on cam- pus. He claimed the group was not large enough to gather a large audience, but claimed he would speak before the students if "suit- able" arrangements could be made Past Meetings Associate Director of McGregor Center John Fraser said that the "Global Book Forum" had meet- ings at Wayne last April and in November 1959. He added that the group had already paid the $25 fee for use of the building. Mrs. Winter operates the "Glo- bal Book" store near the WSU campus. "The atmosphere is so strong in the shop that when I go in I feel I am crossing the Iron Curtain," Dan Berkowitz, a sophomore at WSU's Monteith College said, ex- plaining that most of the books in the store were from Red China or from and about the Soviet Union. Similar View Another Wayne sophomore, Lawrence; Green, had a similar view of the store. "It has a lot of highly controversial material on the shelves. I saw several pamph- lets on 'How to Organize Labor Strikes' that pictured dissatisfied proletarians marching against the bourgeoisie." Both said that they had never discussed political ideologies with the owner or anyone else who worked there, "Although I bought some books on the 1917 Revolu- tioin by Soviet authors, the only conversations I had with the sales- gI were about exchange of money," Berkowitz said. Yet each one said that the place "had an air of intrigue about it," since one has to climb a "dark, narrow and long stairway" to get to the store. Bagwell Urges (Enh 1 in';- 7 of personal merit and not race, color, religion, creed, national origin or ancestry." The Council also heard a prog- ressreport by SGC President John Feldkamp, '61, on the motion which would require fraternities and sororities to file their consti- tutions or constitutional forms with the Vice-President for Stu- dent Affairs. To Offer Motion At the same time, Interfrater- nity Council President Jon Trost, '61, indicated he will move next week to postpone consideration of the constitutions motion for sev- eral weeks. Trost asked time to do "considerable research." Council meeting last night, by Feldkamp said he spent a great deal of time clearing up mis- apprenhensions about the motion, which if passed, would allow access to the constitutions only to a representative of the Office of Student Affairs, the SGC Presi- dent acting for the Council and the membership selection commit- tee, which could, as a committee s c r u t i n i z e any constitutional clauses relavant to its work. Committee Endorses The faculty student relations committee has endorsed the mo- tion, Feldkamp said. He added that a possible improvement of' the motion might be a clear state- ment of the circumstances under which the SGC president and the{ membership selection committee' could examine the constitutions. The duties of the membership selection committee include inves- tigation of charges of violations of the regulation and initiation of its own inquiries. In case of violations the committee will make recom- mendations on corrective and/or disciplinary action to the Council,, which has final authority. By the end of this semester, the committee must report its pro-j cedures to the Council for ap- proval and make them public. 'Time Waste' "The Soviet Union will not par- ticipate in such a waste of time," he added. "Let no one have any doubt on this account, let all il- lusions be dispelled if somebody still holds them." Chief United States Delegate James J. Wadsworth gave this reply: "We will not walk out of this committee in any circumstances, and we will not be intimidated by a Soviet threat to do so." He expressed hope that tactics of the Russians in the committee Tuesday in opposing lump dis- cussion of all disarmament items "was not a preliminary step to- ward walking out of this commit- tee, as Chairman Khrushchev said they might do." Voices Threat Soviet premier Nikita S. Khrush- chev voiced such' a threat in his presentation of the Soviet disarm- ament program in the General Assembly. Zorin demanded that the com- mittee plunge immediately into the task of working out an inter- national disarmament treaty along the lines proposed by Khrushchev. This would include reorganiza- tion of the UN secretariat to do away with the single post held by Secretary - General Dag Ham- marskjold in favor of a three-man executive representing Communist, neutral and Western blocs. A: similar shakeup of the Security Council was demanded. Wadsworth countered with a challenge that the Soviet Union principles of any workable dis- armament program: accept what he called three basic 1) A fair balance between East, and West giving neither a signifi- cant military advantage. 2) Adequate inspection and: verification, assuring that each side keeps its promises. 3) Step-by-step progress, build- ing confidence so that more and I more far-reaching proposals may be effective, King Jailed For Sit-In, Declines Bail ATLANTA (A) -- Declining to, make ball, integration leader Mar- tin Luther King, Jr., and 35 of his followers went to jail yester- day after being arrested for lunch- room sit-in demonstrations at af department store. Police made 52 arrests, includ- ing one white person, but charges against 16 of the defendants were ' dismissed by Municipal Judge James E. Webb. The arrests grew out of a well- planned mass invasion of down- town Atlanta by at least 75 Ne- groes who picketed several varie- ty and department stores and staged the lunchroom sit-ins. Violation Charged vv ... ~didat All those arrested were charg- ed with violating the state anti- trespass law which makes it a misdemeanor to refuse to leave private premises when requested to do so. All pleaded innocent. King and the 35 others were bound over to Fulton Criminal Court under bonds of $500 each. Charges agains the 16 others were dismissed when an officer testified they had been asked to! leave the dining room but not the store. The 36 bound over refused to make bond and went to jail to await trial. King, asked whether he wished to make a statement, told the judge he would go to jail "one, five or ten years," if necessary to uphold his principles. Led Boycott The Baptist minister, who led the successful boycott against bus segregation in Montgomery, Ala., was arrested when he and three others refused to leave Rich's Dept. Store. They said they were trying to get service at the Magnolia Tea Room, but state law passed this year makes it a crime to refuse to leave an establishment when' asked to do so by the owner or his representatives. "I do not feel we did anything wrong in going to Rich's today and in seeking service at the Tea Room," King said. "We went there peacefully and non-violently and in the spirit of love." King said he considers racial segregation to be the most press- ing issue facing America today. Rich's serves Japanese or Chinese end any other race but Negro he said. Following the demonstration the Negro minister had been escorted to a police car with a student in-+ t'egration leader with the same last name but no relation, Lonnie C.+ King. --Daily-Michael Rontal EDUCATIONAL EXCHANGE-Lev Kostikov and Petr Arkhipov, two of the 17 Soviet students in the United States, discussed the Russian educational system. Children attend primary and secondary schools from the ages of seven to 17, and then must take competitive examinations to ,enter the 'in- stitutes' or 'universities.' Those who immediately go to work in industry after secondary school often attend night classes, they said. Russian Students Discuss U.S. By BEATRICE TEODORO "I was watching a dramatic film on television here," the stu- dent from Moscow said, "when it was suddenly interrupted by a commercial chanting 'never before, never again, DDD." To Lev Kostikov, such publicity as Downtown Detroit Days is not common. In his native Moscow, the small shops have only their names over the doors, and not the gaudy lights and hopeful promises found in American stores. Kostikov and Petr Arkhipov are two of the 17 Soviet students now studying in American universities. Arkhipov, a graduate of Leningrad 'U' To Publih Exam Times- With Schedule The spring final examination schedule will be publishedwith next semester's time shedule. A Student Government Council motion of Spring, 1959 recom- mended the action to the Dean's Conference which agreed to it last year. Vice-President of Student Af- fairs James Lewis directed a com- mlittee headed by Edward G. Groesbeck, director of the Office of Registration and records to arrange for the inclusion of the exam schedule. Class and election cards will be changed to include a column for the examination time. University, is a secondary school English teacher in Vilnius, Lith- uania. He is visiting classes here on the applications of English teaching. Teaches In Moscow Kostikov, a professor of en- gineering at the Baumann Higher Technical School in Moscow, is first stduying at the English Lan- guage Institute, and then hopes to visit lectures and do scientific research. In the week they have been here, they noticed several dif- ferences in the university systems. "In Russia we must go to lectures," Kostikov said. "And we have classes six days a week, six to ten hours a day." Higher education in the Soviet Union is divided into two types of schools, Arkhipov continued. There are the "institutes" for engineering and other practical technical fields. The "universities" however, concentrate on the teaching fields and on scientific research. Receive Stipends All university and institute stu- dents receive government stipends, they added. They must take exams at the end of each semester, and if they fail them they must leave the school. It is possible to return in about a year, if they bring recommendations from their place of work. About 20 or 30 per cent of the secondary school students go on to higher education, they said. If they do not, they can take the polytechnical courses that are offered in the high schools. Boys can get training in agriculture and other technical work. Even girls take advantage of the practical courses offer9d. As there is no private industry, apprenticeship as practiced in the United States does not exist. How- ever, skilled workers in the fac- tories are often put in charge of teaching their trade to the young laborers. Industry will also send good workers to institutes for pro- fessional training, granting them greater scholarships than the, regular students. 'Too Many' Asked if there were rany wo- men at Russian Universities, Ark- hipov replied, "Too many. About 40% of the students in the medi- cine, languages, and education are women. In fact most of the doctors are women." Women also continue to work after they are married. "After all, why not?" said Arkhipov. "When they have children they are given three or four months off. Then the children start to grow up and the women return to work." Kostikov's wife, for example, is a judge, an elective office, for which law education is required. Like 'U' Links Quo] Toi Inereas Bagwell Gives R( Says Michigan Ai Now Rising Rapi By SUSAN FARRELL The raising of tuition an at state colleges and unive amounts to establishing a system that prevents stt wih insufficient funds fron ting a college'education, Lt John B. Swainson, Demc gubernatorial candidate, sail terday. Speaking at a meeting with ton H ar b o r school tea Swainson also blamed the R lican-controlled legislature f failure to appropriate fund new classrooms and labora ;n the past three years. 'High Appropriation' Republican gubernatorial 4 date Paul D. Bagwell said Michigan's per capita apprc tion for college students at lic institutions is higher thai of any neighboring state an he has the "general impre that state aid to education creasing faster in Michigan in "almost any other state i Union'." Bagwell said Swainson ."following Gov. G. Mennen liams' technique of not givin legislature any credit for thing." He pointed out that, if el Swainson will have to work this same legislature. "I don't know of any qu student who was turned doN Michigan State University be he lacked funds," Bagwell, a director of scholarships at said. Discusses Fund Commenting on the same Vice-President and Dean of ulties Marvin L. Niehauss that when University fees raised last spring, a schola fund was set up for the "ex purpose" of providing fund students who needed help iiz ing the higher fees. (The University is now con ing a study to see if any stu did drop out because of th increase. But when fees raised last year, University cials pointed out that fee incr in the past had very little, on enrollment.)

John F. Kennedy a fan- tastic nightmare. "It is a nightmare-the worst farm program, bar none, that I have ever seen advocated by any responsible figure in this country," he said. "It is a one-way ticket to disaster for United States agriculture. It is shrinkmanship not growthmanship." Benson made this attack on the Kennedy program-which envisions tighter, farm controls E D R O IT than at present-in a speech pre- HENDERSON DIS pared for a meeting of the Michi- gan State Grange. Theatalk was billed as nonpoli- Educatio tical and was prepared after the secretary had said he would not make any political speeches during the campaign. Kennedy's Republican opponent for the Presidency, Vice-President Richard M. Nixon, has sought to divorce himself from Benson and some of the latter's farm policies. The text of Benson's talk, which did not mention Kennedy by name. was given out by his department,: . l i 3 x t t i CUSSES THEORY: n Proposed as Federal Branch Both Kostikov and Arkhipov thought the University was "a' good place for study, with labora- tory facilities, and a sports place." Evidently athletics plays a great part in their academic life. They have not yet seen an American football game, but have heard that it is not "real football" be- cause the players are able to use their hands. Russian football, as all European football, is equivalent to American soccer. They were also Impressed by the number of bicycles on campus. "It is good exercise for the, morning, yes?" asked Kostikov. The American students they have met have beef very friendly, they said. "All people speak to us as good friends and ask many questions, and I have a great desire to answer their questions," Kosti kov said. "But I can't speak well enough to answer them." The great difference they found in the everyday living was the food. When they arrived in New York two weeks ago, their group was invited to dine aboard the Baltika, the ship that brought Rus- It said the people are being asked to consider a "fantastic program which would put the farmer under the tightest controls ever seen in the country," and then went on to give the other criticisms. An assistant said the Secretary had the Kennedy program in mind, but had not identified it by name in the prepared text be- cause the talk was "nonpolitical and the Secretary couldn't be too specific in it." Benson, he added, . By MICHAEL OLINICK One of the University's foremost experts on higher education discussed the unique theory that state colleges and universities should be a fourth branch of the government. "The theory that higher education should be the fourth arm of the state would raise universities and colleges to the same level as the executive, legislative, and judicial branches," Prof. Algo Henderson of the education school said. Advocates of this theory often point to the University as a near example of this, the director of the Center for the Study of Higher Education claimed. "The Regents have a tremendous scope of power in forming programs and distributing funds. 'U' Not Hindered "If the University is not satisfied with the appropriation from the state, it is not completely hindered. It can raise money on its own by raising tuition or solicting more outside grants and gifts." Speaking before a meeting of the American Society of Public Administrators, Prof. Henderson, discussed "University administration as Public Administration-With a Difference." He listed four major differences between a university and other vz,,l, . a sian Premier Nikita Khrushchev on his visit to the UN. It was their last Russian meal. Since then they have missed their native dishes, which are more spicy than ours, especially our dorm food, and also the Russian coffee. "We alsq eat more often than you do," Kostikov said. Of course, there is breakfast. About noon there is a one or two hour break, during which all the offices and schools close. A .
