LXXIV, No. 97 SEVEN CENTS ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1964 TWO SECTIONS FOURTEEN PAGES Expect Makarios To Reject Troops Calls NATO Proposal Unacceptable To Cyprus, Preferring UN Troops NICOSIA, Cyprus (P) - Authoritative sources said yesterday Cyprus President Archbishop Makarios will formally reject a move to station NATO, including American, troops here to keep peace on the embattled Mediterranean island. He conferred last night with United States Ambassador Fraser Wilkins and Cyril Pickard, British assistant undersecretary for Commonwealth relations. It is understood he told them the proposal is unacceptable to Cyprus. Nevertheless, the plan in its final form is expected to be sub- mitted to him officially sometime today. The prelate, with strong '>backing from the Greek Cypriot people and its press, favors United SW....... Nations troops instead of those S from Atlantic alliance countries. ARCHBISHOP MAKARIOS VIET NAM: U.S. Faces Asian Crisis By PHILIP SUTIN National Concerns Editor Special To The Daily NEW YORK-The military situ- ation in Viet Nam has deteriorated so badly in the last 15 months that the United States faces the choice of neutralizing the country or stepping up its military com- mitments there, New York Times correspondent David Halberstam, back from a nearly year and a half stint in that country warned yesterday. He spoke to 200 college editors at a noon luncheon of the Over- seas Press Club conference on in- ternational affairs. Halberstam and fellow Times Asia correspondent Robert Trum- bull warned that the war was not going well and that unless the new government of Maj. Gen. Nguyen Khanh succeeded in mo- bilizing the Vietnamese people for the war effort, drastic action will have to be taken. Two Division Army Halberstam cautioned that a two division American army com- mitment would be disasterous. "They would be sucked into the rice paddies," he declared. A small mobile force, carefully used, might succeed, the Times correspondent added. Using troops is highly unde- sirable. They are never advisable in Asia because they are too con- spicuous, giving an advantage to the Communists, Trumbull said. Won by Vietnamese "The war will have to be won by the Vietnamese people. If the people .,are not for the Saigon government, it is never going to win," he continued. Halberstam recounted his dif- ficulties in reporting the war's deterioration, despite pressures from the state department and the military to hue the official United States line. He noted that the official view was cautious optimism but as he continued his work, he could not reconcile it with the war as he saw it. "The war was fought on the surface. It was mainly an eight-to-five war. The government was unresponsive and repressive. Protects Contacts Despite pressures from the top, Halberstam was able to develop middle level contacts and protect them while operating in a 'police state." Harrison Salisbury, veteran Times reporter, echoed Halber- stam telling the conference ban- quet audience that "newspapers have to ask the unpleasant ques- tions and present the unpopular viewpoints" and that "history will A proposal to increase the peacekeeping force on the island from 5000 to 10,000 troops will be submitter by Britain, Turkey and Greece-nations which back Cy- prus independence under the treaty of guarantee--with the ap- proval of the United States. Britain now has 5000 troops on the island and the United States has agreed to provide 1000-2000 more. Others Will Help Out The balance is to be supplied by other NATO countries, according to the proposal. Wilkins and Pickard are expect- ed to call upon Fazil Kutchuk, the Turkish Cypriot vice-president, sometime today. Turks both here and in mainland Turkey generally back a NATO force. Meanwhile, two members of the Greek Cypriot delegation to the recessed London conference on Cyprus are expected to fly back to London today after 24 hours in Nicosia for consultations with Makarios and his aides. View Change Possible This statement generally re- flects the feeling of the Makarios government but high level talks which have been going on here could change that view. At the moment, the Greek Cypriots are asking the matter be referred to the United Nations if the. London talks collapse-and little hope is seen for them here. Units of the United States 6th Fleet were somewhere in the East- ern Mediterranean with several hundred Marines on board. If the peace force is approved, the Ma- rines probably would be the van- guard of a United States contin- gent of about 2000 men. The spotlight turned on Ma- ,karios with the approval of the plan, in board outline at least, which came after a series of cab- inet meetings in Ankara throughI the night, more or less assured that the Turkish Cypriot minorityi would fall in line. Continue To Debate Rights Bill WASHINGTON (P)--The House sped through a second round of debate on the civil rights bill yes- terday clearing the way for a showdown fight over amendments next week. The air of calm reason and the good - natured bantering t h a t marked the first day's discussion of the controversial measure con- tinued yesterday, to the surprise of veterans of previous civil rights battles in Congress. The House finally adjourned at 7 p.m. until noon tomorrow when it expects to take up amendments to the bill. Forego Tactics Badly outnumbered by the bi- partisan majority supporting the bill, the Southern opponents ap- parently aecided to forego delay- ing tactics in hopes of winning some Republican support for key amendments next week. There was a call for a quorum at the start of the session and another in mid- afternoon. House leaders are aiming for passage by the end of next week. President Lyndon B. Johnson at his news conference yesterday ex- pressed confidence of final pass- age for the bill without any major concessions to win enactment. Accommodate Republicans The House is speeding action on the bill to accommodate Republi- cans who want to take part in Lincoln Day rallies around the country, and the Southerners don't want to alenate any potential support by throwing the schedule out of Miter As they have since the 10-part bill came ut of the House Judi- ciary Cornmittee last October, the Southerners yesterday hammered at their contention that it is an unconstitutonal grab for power by the federal government. Rep. Richard H. Poff (R-Va) said the bill would permit the fed- eral government to set voting qualifications for all elections, in direct violation of the constitu- tional guarantees that such power lies with the states. Court To ,Rule On Districts LANSING UP)-The State Ap- portionment Commission decided unanimously yesterday to pass its legislative redistricting responsi- bilities on to the State Supreme Court. Commissioners now may indi- vidually or jointly submit plans to the Supreme Court-which in turn can order the commission to adopt the plan the court de- cides comes closest to constitu- tional requirements. To Alumni on Problems of 4.7 SupprtsBid For Merger By Delta Plan Asks Citizens' Group For Definite Backing Special To The Daily BAY CITY - University Presi- dent Harlan Hatcher resurrected the "dead" issue of a four-year, University-affiliated college in the Saginaw-Bay City area at a lunch- eon here yesterday. He called upon the "blue rib- bon" Citizens' Committee on High- er Education, which is currently studying such a plan, to make a definite recommendation. One year ago this month, the Regents and the board of trustees of Delta College-a two-year in- stitution here-announced a joint proposal to establish a degree- granting institution at the Delta site. The plan would have estab- lished junior year classes last Sep- tember, expanding to the junior and senior years for next Septem- ber. Would Have Grown Eventually, the institution would have grown to four years. While affiliated with the University, it would have been separate from Delta junior college. Supporters of the plan viewed it as one means of expansion: a method of ac- counting for increased enrollment pressures while "enabling more students to obtain a University degree" "The University has not changed its view in any way, shape or form over the past year, that the plan is both wise and educationally sound.' President Hatcher declar- ed yesterday. At the same time, a member of the Delta board of directors, Fred- erick Chapin, said that "99 per cent of the people up here were and still are for the plan." Refused Support A month after the University and Delta announced their plans last year, President Hatcher pre- sented them for approval to the Michigan State Council of College Presidents. They refused to sup- port it. "There was much discus- sion, but little enlightenment," President Hatcher said. The plan, and a variation of it, then went through the state Legis- lature, whose support wasn't leg- ally, but financially needed. The Legislature took no action. At that point, Gov. George Romney placed the proposal before his newly formed "blue ribbon" committee, where it has remained. "The clear next step is for the 'blue ribbon' committee to move the Lssue off dead center and give us a clean answer," President Hatcher reiterated. "They must get on with the job. We have every confidence in the soundness of our plan, but if they can find holes in it, let them sn~ow us." Allows Four-Yer Commitment The University stated last year that a branch in Delta would allow "the degree-bound student ..,. to make a four-year commitment See HATCHER, Page 2 ALUMNI BRIEFING-University administrators (left-right) Vice-President for Academic Affairs Roger W. Heyns, President Harlan Hatcher and Vice-President for Business and Finance Wilbur K. Pierpont, spoke to Bay City area alumni of University problems and prospectives. Five state legis- lators who will weigh the University's budget request were among the 100 present. DETROIT SCHOOLS: r Trimester Creates ConTtflict Hatcher, Heyns, Pierpont Speak 4 By KAREN WEINHOUSE The University's transition to full-year operation created a prob- lem this winter for some 92 pros- pective freshman and transfer students. The Detroit school system, from which most of the freshman came, holds mid-year graduation about one week after University regis- tration. It is a long-standing policy of the Detroit schools that no student can be graduated from high school unless he is physically present at the ceremony. Speaker The University also has a long- standing policy that new students must participate in all orientation and registration activities and that new students may not register or begin classes late. Some time this fall the conflict in time schedules and mandatory policies was brought to the atten- tion of University officials who reviewed the situations with mem- bers of the Detroit school system. "We thought we should make every concession possible compat- ible with the students' interests," Gayle C. Wilson, associate director of admissions, said recently. Special Program The University held a special orientation and registration pro- gram Dec. 29-31. Sixty-five of the incoming freshmen and transfer students attended. Those w h o could not be present at this pro- gram or at the regular one which took place Jan. 12-15 were granted June admission if they so desired. Freshmen and transfers who did attend were allowed to return to their high schools or colleges to! take final exams or to participate in required graduation activities with the stipulaton that they re- port to the first day of classes and make subsequent plans with their instructors. "All arrangements were infor- mal and required no real policy change on the part of the Univer- sity," Dean Stephen H. Spurr of the Natural Resources School and assistant to the vice-president for academic affairs, said. Grades Received Later It is usual for mid-year entrants to be admitted before their final. grades are received either from; high schools or colleges in the case of transfer students. "If by chance a student didn't graduate from high school-a req- uisite for University admission- the problem would have been dealta with on an individual basis," By- ron L. Groesbeck, assistant direc- tor of admissions, said. ' To Utilize College Students In Voter Registration Drive By JOHN WEILER Special To The Daily NEW YORK-A program to bring college students to Mississippi this summer to work for the election of nonsegregationist candidates to Congress was announced yesterday by Prof. Allard Lowenstein of North Carolina State University. Prof. Lowenstein said the program, sponsored by the Council of Federated Organizations, a state-wide civil rights co-ordinating com- mittee, is part of its voter education and registration program. He added that it was designed to focus' attention on Mississippi's regre- TWO OVER MSU, gationist policies., GREGORY SPEAKS - Dick Gregory appeared in concert with folk-singers Steve Addis and Bill Crofut last night at Hill Aud. Gregory presented a near-capacity crowd with his own brand of politically orient- ed humor and included stories of his recent experiences in At- lanta, where he has been ar- rested several times in connec- tion with his participation in civil rights demonstrations. If the University goes into full- year operation in the summer of 1965, this problem will be virtually eliminated. Able To Register A student graduating from high school in late January will be able to register for the summer term in early May, thus completing a full semester before September. "He won't be dislocated quite as badly as the student who would have to delay college entry until the fol- lowing September," Wilson com- mented. Admission to the University of mid-year graduates or transfers for the winter term would no longer prove feasible. Under full year operation the second semes- ter will be pushed forward to just after the first of the year, neces- sitating an absence of too many class days for these incoming stu- dents. Even this term it appeared "that many prospective transfer students decided not to take ad- vantage of the admission granted them when they became aware of the change in our schedule," Groesbeck said. Ranger Rocket Still on Target; Moon Hit Seen PASADENA VP)-As of 2 a.m. this morning, Ranger 6 was still on target and scientists at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory saw no apparent danger that it could fail to hit the moon as expected at 4:24 a.m. this morning. The spacecraft carried a cargo of cameras that could solve ages- old mysteries before they crash on. the moon. It was expected to crash in the moon's Sea of Tranquility, a broad flat basin some 400 miles to the right of dead center of the shin- ing disk visible from earth. Study 'Sea' This dry "sea".is being ,tudied1 as a landing site for manned Apollo moonships later in this decade. A spokesman for the laboratory, which is controlling Ranger 6 dur- ing its 66-hour voyage, said all As the spacecraft streaked near- er the moon, the pull of lunar gravity increased its speed to al- most 6000 miles an hour at im- pact., Take Shots Ten minutes before the crash, at an altitude of about 900 miles, six small television cameras began clicking at a rate of 300 shots a minute. If everything worked, United States scientists will have the first closeup photographsaof thej moon. Two earlier vehicles landed on. the moon-Russia's Lunik 2 and this country's Ranger 4- but1 neither sent back any significant information. Russia's Lunik 3 pho- tographed the back side of the i moon but from altitudes of morei than 4000 miles and the nictures Legislators At Meeting 'Impressed' Hold Session as Part Of Statewide Project By H. NEIL BERKSON Special To The Daily BAY CITY - A high-powered team of University administra- tors came here yesterday to give selected area alumni an in-depth briefing on the direction of the University. The meeting was an integral part of the continuing "Operation Michigan"-a statewide program aimed at increasing public un- derstanding of the University's problems and prospects. Included in the audience of 100 addressed by President Harlan Hatcher, Vice-President for Busi- ness and Finance Wilbur K. Pier- pont and Vice-President for Aca- demic Affairs Roger W. Heyns, were five state legislators who will soon be weighing the Uni- versity's budget request for the coming fiscal year. They walked away from the the meeting "impressed"; Sen. Arthur Dehmel (R-Unionville), a member of the key Appropriations Committee, declared himself "far better informed" and prepared to support Gov. George Romney's record higher education appropri- million. Hatcher's Emphasis The University, P r e s i d e n t Hatcher told the gathering, has an important role to play in "one of the things everybody seems to agree on-the necessity for de- veloping the economy. We must create jobs. "Where are our young people going to fit into a society mov- ing as fast as ours is?" he asked. The answer, he suggested, is two-fold: universities must pro- vide adequate training for fur- ture professions, while making "a more creative attack" at develop- ing new sources of employment. Place in Positions The University's responsibility is further "to get people moti- vated, sorted out and placed In the positions they can best ful- fill," President Hatcher comment- ed. Turning to the coming enroll- ment pressures, he said, "We have to adjust to greater numbers and increased demands-there must be a new level of state support." The President complimented the "blue ribbon" Citizens' Committee on Higher Education for its "forth- right statement" of educational needs. Last November, this committee recommended that the state in- crease the total operating budg- et forhigher education from $110 million to a, minimum $135 mil- lion, declaring that even the lat- ter figure was hardly adequate. Plant Capacity and Needs Earlier, Vice-President Pierpont presented a detailed analysis of the University's physical plant - present and future. He said that Portent? While 7000 cramped students glorified in Michigan's=15th victory yesterday : afternoon, basketball news of another sort was being made far from Ann Arbor. "Are there any ques- tions?" Vice-President Pier- point asked as he finished his speech in Bay City. "When do we get a new field house foir Cazzie?" s o m e o n eurgently called out. "Sooner than you think," the v i c e - president smiled.l "educational institutions in Mich- igan and elsewhere are using pres- ent facilities to the hilt." "We have very little leeway left for expansion" within the current physical framework, Pierpont said. He added, however, that the Uni- versity makes every effort to "re- model, renovate and update exist- ing structures" before going ahead with new buildings. 95-79: If not a single Negro is register- ed, at least the rest of the nation will "see what is going on in Mississippi," he commented. To Work in Districts Students will work in each dis- trict to elect pro-integrationist candidates, much in the same manner as they campaigned to elect Arron Henry, president of Mississippi National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, governor last fall in a mock election and write-in cam- paign. Prof. Lowenstein noted that it is virtually impossible to hold pickets, mass marches and voter registration drives as police arrest protestors even though there are no laws to cover such "violations." In order to fight such cases and win they must be taken to the Federal Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit while the person may have to serve one year in jail and c~n /i o~n 4 . mn - - o mn n ,-fn Cagers Score Sixth Big Ten Win By TOM WEINBERG Bill Buntin's 23-point first half sparked Michigan's Wolverines to an advantage which Michigan State was unable to overcome yesterday as the Big Ten leaders romped to a 95-79 victory. Buntin, like rebounding star sophomore Oliver Darden, fouled out of the game. The final two personals on the all-Big Ten center were called within':08 of each other after only six minutes of dull basketball had elapsed in the second half. Sophomore wizard Cazzie Russell led all scorers with 25 points, followed by Buntin's 23. "Bill had a great game," Wolverine coach Dave Strack said after the game. "I was quite disappointed with the last two quick fouls on him," he added. Michigan pulled a complete reversal of last week's free-for-all at East Lansing by outrebounding the Spartans 57-39. "I figured maybe we'd get them on those boards today," Strack said, almost blushing. But he had good reason to expect the rebound- ing display as his efforts all week were aimed at firing up the board control of his two 6'7" stars, Darden and Buntin. Tt all naid nff. ,...
