LXI, No. 58 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1960 CONSTRUCTION PROGRAM: 'U' To Give Plans to Regents By MICHAEL BURNS The University's expansion pro- gram is progressing with the com- pletion of plans for a Thompson St. Parking lot to be presented at the Dec. 16f=Regents meeting, Uni- versity Vice-President Wilbur Pier- Pont said yesterday. The vice-president for construc- tion and finance said that plans and drawings of the lot are being prepared now that the University has purchased several lots on the street between East William and Madison Streets. It will be used by staff and by those attending conferences at the Michigan Union. The building of this structure will probably entail widening of Jefferson St., Pierpont explained, but plans for this will be discuss- ed with city officials before any decisions can be made on this aspect. The Institute for Social Research building is in the planning stage, he reported. No definite size or cost will be known until spring, but the fund drive for the project will be underway in a few weeks and architects are drawing up pro- spective designs. Pierpont denied reports that the University is anticipating re- modeling or destruction of the Kelsey archaeological museum. He also said he had no knowledge of plans to close off parts of Maynard - or State Streets to more fully integrate buildings on the west side of State St. into the general campus area. The University is investigating and consulting with city officials on the development of an east section of the North Campus area. Surveys of roads and utilities are now underway. Meanwhile, Pier- Pont said, Zeta Beta Tau frater- nity is still planning to build on North Campus, having purchased the land and architect designs. The University earlier this year urged a 11 fraternities contemplating building new houses to consider the North Campus area. Only ZBT has expressed an interest in this section. i UppermA ir Experiment pBy ' U'Called Successful By PETER STUART The high altitude research balloon experiment conducted by a team of University engineers and technicians last Wednesday in conjunction with the launching of the Tiros II weather satellite was "80 to 90 per cent successful." This is the assessment by Frederick L. Bartman, research en- gineer who supervised the beginning of an exhaustive six to nine- month analysis of the balloon's instrument package yesterday. "The readings looked fine, although some of the instruments could have worked better," Bartman said. He added that the ap- paratus' antenna and power sup-' ply had failed to work for one- half hours of the 11-hour flight.

Legislators To Convene On Tax Bill LANSING (P)-A special leg- islative session will be called be- fore the end of the year to put through the one cent sales tax in- crease approved by the voters, Gov. G. Mennen Williams said yesterday. Williams said a date has not yet been set for the session. He said he and Gov.-elect John B. Swainson want to check sig- nals first with legislative leaders of both parties before issuance of the formal call. "We want to make sure that a bill agreeable to all will be ready to implement the increase," Wil- liams said. "We also want to be sure this will not be a debating match-we don't have time for that. "My own time is running out," added the Democratic governor who goes out of office at the end of the year. Swainson said he did not favor the sales tax increase during the campaign but would accept the decision of the voters. 'Both Williams and Swainson agreed the session should be re- stricted only to considering the sales tax increase. Republican spokesman had suggested the .ses- sion also be opened to cancella- tion of the emergency tax pro- gram of nuisance taxes now not due to expire until the July 1 end of the fiscal year. But state regulations allow the governor to restrict business in an emergency session to what- ever measures he might favor. Land Blas ts A rms Plants BOSTON ()-One of the na- tion's top scientists blasted what he called "mismanagement andd fumbling" in the defense depart- ment yesterday, Dr. Edwin H. Land, president of, a large camera company, said a "vacuum exists in the most ob- vious fields in the defense depart- ment." Dr. Land spoke to an audience of 450 of the nation's top military and civilian scientists attending, the Air Force's 7th annual science1 and engineering symposium here.i The speaker, for six years a member of the President's scien-s tific advisory committee, said "we' need in Washington an organiza-1 tion that can change its field when9 necessary, not simply take random bright ideas and developing them. And I think we are going to get that in Washington now." After lauding the nation's civil- ian and military scientists for catching up and passing the Rus- sian space program, he said that we still have a big arsenal of "un- finished" programs. He listed the Atlas, Polaris, Minuteman, sub- marine defense and reconnaisance systems as in reality "unfinished programs although we are told some of them are operational." He said the United States must, have people in the administration and in the military who know where the nation is headed, what1 is going on and who can work out a close liaison between them- selves and the men actually at work on the projects.

GOV. G. MENNEN WILLIAMS . . cabinet post unlikely Cabinet Post Not Expected For Williams At the risk of disappointing Michigan Democrats, President- elect John F. Kennedy is no longer considering Governor G. Mennen Williams for a cabinet post in the new administration, a Detroit newspaper said yesterday. Williams, who has long spoken of his interest in foreign relations, will probably be offered the job of assistant secretary of state, re- sponsible for African and Asian affairs, a Detroit News report, based on "good authority" indi- cated. Williams had been mentioned earlier as a strong possibility for Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare, AFL-CIO leaders had hoped that Williams might become Kennedy's secretary of labor. Kennedy strategists reportly think Williams would be a liability rather than an asset if he were given a cabinet post. They con- sider his national reputation dim- med by Michigan's financial trou- bles and his close association with UAW President Walter P. Reu- ther, At an informal press conference yesterday, the president - elect boosted speculation that, Chester Bowles, a retiring member of Con- gress from Connecticut, and Lu- ther H. Hodges, retiring governor of North Carolina, will receive posts in the Kennedy cabinet. Bowles has been considered a possible choice for secretary of state; Hodges for secretary of commerce, But "the President-elect has not talked to any person and asked him to be a member of his cabi- net," Kennedy press secretary Pierre Salinger said. Earlier, Kennedy and Bowles had breakfast together at the President-elect's Georgetown resi- dence. Kennedy told newsmen that they didn't discuss Bowles' future but added, "We will be discussing it."

There were no injuries. To Examine Union Policy On Speakers The Michigan Union will exa- mine its speaker policy in the wake of the recent political campaign, Union President Perry Morton, '61, said last night. "Our present ruling doesn't allow any political speeches at the Union, Morton said, pointing out the difficulties that were incurred when Rep. Chester Bowels (D- Conn) appeared there last month, "Perhaps it's about time that the University and the Union both examine their bylaws on speakers." Literary College Students To Give Course Evaluations By ANDREW HAWLEY Every student enrolled in a literary college course will have a chance to evaluate the course and instructor next week, Prof. Wilbert J. McKeachie of the psychology department, chairman of the com- mittee on student opinion of courses and teaching, announced yes- terday, The evaluation program, which has been conducted about every third semester for roughly ten years, will take place in most classes on Tuesday and Wednesday, although there may be some teachers - who will administer it later, if they find it more convenient, Prof. Mc- unsh loleKeachie explained, r nshine 'Theindividual instructor will distribute a form to be filled out by all students in the class, which will ask the student to comment on the course and teacher and express opinions on ways in which he thinks the instruction or some other aspects of course work may be improved. "We hope this will give the stu- dent an opportunity to think abou" his purposes in college, as well Winter's Snow Follows Late Si as give the instructor some no- tion of what he is getting across, and help him in setting up the course in the future and improv- ing his teaching techniques." "The material collected is pri- marily for the use of the instruc- tors, although individual depart- ments may vote to review it if they wish," he continued. "When the program was first implemented following a faculty committee recommendation, stu- dents were enthusiastic and eager to have it," he said. "Now, how- ever, the faculty feels that stu- dents don't like it seriously enough. The usefulness of the ,.,., ~; .... ...... sr.. ,:... wry .. .... _.... ... ___ .
