Nor were they fully agreed n the mechanics of implementation. SOC President John Feldkamp, '61, said the motion replaces a regulation which requires the organizations to file ther constitutions with the deans. "We, not the deans, need the information, because we are the ones who recognize student organizations," he said. Feldkamp contends that the information is to facilitate SC's function of recognition, rather than to implement the membership a lection committee's work.

Grand Valley Seeks Loan Of Official By PETER STEINBERGER The board in control of the infant Grand Valley State College yesterday set up an administrative body calling for a member to be 'loaned' to it by the University, while University officials express- ed surprise at the proposal. The new group, which was voted into existence by a regular meet- ing of the board in control in Muskegon, will consist of 5 mem- bers, Besides the University, Michigan State and Wayne State Universities and Grand Rapids Junior College are asked by yes- terday's vote to lend members to the body. The fifth member, al- ready appointed by the board in control, is Prof. Chris A DeYoung, retired dean of the graduate rschool at Illinois State Normal University. While L. William Seidman, chairman of the board, reiterated his statements that the University had agreed to supply his school with an expert who could handle the numerous problems besetting the Grand Valley college, Univer- sity officials offered the following reactions: Niehuss Not Asked (1) Vice-president and dean of faculties Marvin L. Niehuss said he would be glad to help the new school, but so far he hadn't been asked. (2) Dean of state-wide educa- tion Harold Dorr said he didn't known of any intentions by the Grand Valley group to establish the new committee, and added that there was apparently some confusion over whether or not the University had committed itself to giving a faculty member to the board. (3) Prof. Algo D. Henderson of the education school, director of the center for the study ofkhigher education, said he had talked in- formally with members of the board, but no definite decision had been reached. Wishes School Success. (4) University president Harlan Hatcher said he wished the new school success, but added that he had not discussed the 'loan' of a faculty member.- MSU president John F. Hannah said last night that he had agreed to lend a faculty member to the new college, but added that it was his understanding the arrange- ment was to be for temporary part-time help, and not full-time help, as the board in control had announced. He added that he had not known that Wayne University; had also been asked to lend per- sonnel to the Grand Valley board.i DIRECTOR ANGELL: To Vacate Honors Post 'Sr By ANDREW HAWLEY Prof. Robert C. Angell of the sociology department, director of the honors program since its in- ception in 1957, said yesterday he will not reassume the position after his leave from the University next semester. Roger B. Heyns, dean of the literary college, said a successor has not been selected and may not be for some time. "It would be wrong to rush to make an appoint- ment as important as this is," he said. The honors program, now in its fourth year, has expanded from the original 87 freshmen in 1957 Pair Asked To Meeting Prof. Samuel Hayes of the eco- nomics department said last night that he had invited Alan and Judith Guskin, Grads., leaders of Americans Committed to World Responsibility, to attend a foreign policy workshop with him in Washington next week. The Guskins indicated they would accept the invitation. The workshop, which will deal with "Foreign Aid for the Sixties," is sponsored by the National Con- ference for International Social and Economic Development. This organization was formed by some of the men who were involved in the development of the original Point Four program, Prof. Hayes said. Prof. Hayes said that the stu- dents might have the opportunity to meet Prof. Maurice Albertson of Colorado State University. Prof. Albertson was recently appointed by the International Cooperation Administration to conduct a study of the problems and possibilities of a youth corps. This study was authorized by the Heuss amendment to the Mu- tual Security Act passed by Con- gress last summer. The ICA suggested to Prof. Al-1 bertson that he contact Prof. Hayes, who has been working on a similar study at the request of President-elect John F. Kennedy: and has much experience in pro-1 grams of technical assistance. Prof. Albertson plans to submit lists of questions related to a youth corps to student groups for study and discussion. The campus ACWR, independ- ently, has already begun to set up such groups to consider whicht geographical area a youth corps should serve, as well as the is-< sues and problems involved., to 788 in all four classes, about mission to the program have been 10 per cent of the total literary raised somewhat.

"He has done a superb job," Dean Heyns said. "Nobody could have done it as successfully; the R college is indebted to him for the devotion and wisdom with which he has handled the program." Dean Heyns pointed out that when the program was set up it was understood that the director-. ship would be rotational on a three- or four-year basis. Carry on Tradition . "The problem now is to find someone who will carry on the fine tradition established by Prof. An- ~ gell," he said. "Many of those qualified to fill the bill are already occupied in important ways." Prof. Angell pointed out that, PROF. ROBERT C.

The United States National Student Association has issued a statement to the governor and legislature of Louisiana condemning attempts to evade integration of public schools there. "The statement is in line with the NSA policy on discrimination," John Feldkamp,''61, chairman of the Executive Committee of NSA said. The statement, which was released by NSA President Richard A. Rettig, reads: "The United States National Student Association condemns the action of the Governor and Legislature of the State of Louisiana for their flagrant attempts to defy the 3 1954 decision of the United States color or economic circumstance, Supreme Court; to defy the 1960 especially as the realization of order of the United States 5th that opportunity is consonant with District Court of Appeals; to defy the decision of the United States the wishes of the Mayor, School Supreme Court decision of 1954."

Allies 'Competitors' Our foreign aid program has so assisted free world nations that "they have become competitors" in international trade, Prof. Rog- ers continued. "If we do not trade with the other countries of the free world, Russia will." Prof. Rogers spoke to a study conference of over 200 Michigan bankers, sponsored by the Michi- gan Banker's Association and the business administration school. Predicts Decline Prof. Paul W. McCracken of the business administration school, speaking earlier to the same group, predicted a continued decline in business conditions through the first quarter of 1961, although the current recession will probably prove "somewhat milder" than the one in 1958. Continued Prison Asked for Pacifist By The Associated Press Atty. Gen. Louis C. Wyman yesterday asked a superior court judge to cancel Willard Uphaus' Adams-Jordan Wins in Recount At 1:30,a.m. IQC President Dan Rosemergy, '61Ed, said the decision was still in doubt. He wil meet with the three Judges tomorrow, when they will recount the scores, which are presently under lock and key. The combined choir from Adams and Jordan houses was finally de- clared winner of the Inter-Quad- rangle Council-Assembly Sing last night, after an error in the judges' totals had been corrected. The combined choir from Chi- cago and Butler houses had been presented the first place trophy at the competition, but when the er- ror in the addition of the scores was discovered later in the eve- ning, it was dropped to second place. Tony Walters, '63E, president of Chicago House, speaking for James Frazier, '62, director of the Chi- cago-Butler choir, said, "We relin- quish our second place award in view of the poor manner in which the Judging of this Sing has been hatlp ," 'Alm i-i
