The Trimest (Last of a Series) By H. NEIL BERKSON and KENNETH WINTER They've been nicknamed "trimester babies," but the class of '67 apparently grew up rather fast under last fall's revised cal- endar. Because the freshmen had no experience under the old se- mester plan, The Daily sent them a separate questionnaire, pri- marily asking for an evaluation of their first semester at the University. The response was heavy: with over a 70 per cent re- turn, the freshmen far out-distanced upperclassmen (56 per cent) and faculty (48 per cent). Eighty per cent of the respondents expressed some degree of satisfaction with their first semester. Even more important, every single respondent declared that he or she will be able to adjust to the University's demands. The responses further conveyed the following impressions:'' Lack of Time -A majority of freshmen feel to some extent, that they did not have enough time to master their courses, but very few of them would want to extend the semester into January. -Again, as with faculty and upperclassmen, elimination of the lame-duck" session after Christmas was perhaps the most popular feature of the new calendar. -Ninety per cent of the freshmen like the current one-week exam period with two-hour finals in some degree. A full 50 per cent are "highly satisfied" with the nature of the exam week. -The suggestion of a "reading week," which a number of administrators are considering drew the widest range of opinion. Sixty per cent of the freshmen expressed some degree of prefer- ence for such a week. Experiment: Fresh Perspective Although this question was not asked on the freshman survey, many wrote comments criticizing the performance of the faculty under the new calendar. "The only problem I have noted is that faculty members are not quite adjusted to the new schedule," Gail L. Abramson, '67, said. "This results in a speeding up of the course toward the end of the semester, when the faculty finds it has four weeks to cover in two." are too dry, and sometimes taught by incompetent people, espe- cially in the French department." Gary E. Beeker; '67E, blamed his difficulties last semester for homework." Will Beeker do better this semester? "Sure, I on the fact that "engineering graphics 101 took too much time don't have engineering graphics." Vicki A. Lassar, '67, suggested shifting the calendar ahead to ease some of the pressures she felt. "I think that the main preparation for finals. If these two weeks could be more of a review and more relaxed, finals would be less pressure." Many freshmen shared her view and added that some type of reading period might solve their probelm. Leading Period "A reading period would have eased the last minute cram feeling of last semester," Marcia J. Roeber, '67M, said. Steven D. Conley, '67, asked for "some other system where more time is al- lowed to review before exams." "Too short a preparation period and exam period," Patrick J. Kenney, '67E, commented. "Although I am satisfied with the way exams are run, it is sometimes bad when you have two exams on one day," Miss Nagels said. "That is why I support the idea of a reading week. It is said that one should study for exams a little, but this is hard to do when you have other classwork and more reading." Strongly supporting a reading week, Thomas C. Kennedy, '67, commented, "Many exams, language, for instance, are given on the last regular day of class. This causes problems due to the as- signments made for that last week." Opposes Reading Period Michael J. Wengroff, '67E, opposed the reading period be- cause "there is enough time for studying and in this one week the pressure would mount out of proportion." "The reading period would not be good,' Jonathan A. Wooley, '67, insisted. "During. that week one would do little studying he wouldn't do otherwse. It would basically be a waste of time." "The reading period would probably be wasted and would probably result in having exams after Christmas," Louise I. Karle, See STUDENTS, Page 2 GAIL L. ABRAMSON, EDWARD ROBINSON, PAT KENNEY, JONATHAN L. WOOLEY, BARB NAGELS GARY BEEKER MICHAEL WENGROFF LOUISE KARLE Others went beyond the effects of the calendar in registering complaints. "I had poor courses and poor teachers-the former was due to the inadequacy of the catalogue and the latter could not be helped," Barbara E. Nagels, '67, said. "I doubted the competence of my psychology 101 recitation teacher," another girl wrote. "Other than that' I was satisfied." Edward N. Robinson, '67, added: "Some of the beginning courses aren't exactly stimulating. They weakness of the trimester is the mad rush between Thanksgiving and Christmas," she wrote. "If we were to start classes three days sooner we could extend Thanksgiving to a full week's vacation and be less rushed when we came back. We would then be ready to attack exams immediately after a rest at home. "The two weeks after Thanksgiving last semester were com- bin' with frantic catching up of work which couldn't be com- pleted in the four-day vacation," she continued, "and frantic THE MEDICAL SCHOOL CONFUSION See Editorial Page Ink i4au E ai i SUNNY High-34 Low-,..15 Mostly sunny and slightly warmer Seventy-Three Years of Editorial Freedom , VOL.

According to Dean of the Graduate School Ralph Sawyer, in- crease in, enrollment in graduate and graduate professional studies this year will be held to four per cent over last year, due to the in- *crease in Michigan graduating high school seniors, the products of the 1946 "baby boom." Many of the college preparatory graduates in the 1964 Michigan high school classes must be ac- commodated by Michigan colleges and universities. Priority to Freshmen "For this reason, the University has decided that it must now give freshmen priority over graduate students in the 1964-65 admis- sions," Dean Sawyer said yester- day. Holding the increase in grad-j uate school enrollment to four per, cent, or about 250 additional stu- dents, means that the University must know far in advance how many students accepted by the graduate school do, in fact, plan to enroll at the University in the fall. $50 Deposit, State CRC Gets First City Cases By RAYMOND HOLTON Ann Arbor this week sent its first complaints of alleged dis- crimination to the new state Civil Rights Commission. The complaints deal with al- leged hiring discrimination by Thompson's Restaurant and dis- crimination involving an apart- ment rental. Human Relations Director Da- vid C. Cowley said that Ann Ar- bor's Human Relations Commis- sion will continue to work for set- tlements in the cases. "We are to notify the state com- mission in the event we come to a solution,' Cowley said. Thomas Peloso of the state CRC branch in Detroit said he has not yet taken any action on Ann Ar- bor's complaints. "As soon as we receive the com- plaints we will make sure the cases are within our jurisdiction and then assign them to a field representative who will contact the complainants and defendants in- volved," Peloso reported. The complaints are being handled through the state CRC's Detroit branch. Cowley also noted that he, along with four other human relations directors from Michigan cities, will meet with the new state CRC Di- rector Burt Gordin after he takes office April 1. The other directors will be from Detroit, Grand Rapids, Kalama- zoo and Saginaw. Cowley also commented on two amendments to the city's fair housing ordinance concerning the definition of "commercial space" and enlarging coverage in room- ing houses. "I will be spending the next two weeks making contacts through- out the city to determine the sen- timent connected with these amendments," Cowley noted. Women Show In Liberalization o f Briton Says Forces Necessary NICOSIA, Cyprus (P)-The new commander of British truce forces on Cyprus said yesterday rein- forcements now flying in from Britain are needed because an ear- ly solution of the crisis seems un- likely. As Maj. Gen. R. M. Carver took over his-new command, delegates negotiated at the United Nations in New York, seeking a formula for an international force to re- lieve the British on Cyprus. There was a flareup of shooting in eastern Cyprus between the feuding Greek and Turkish Cyp- riots, but Carver said he thought tension had eased since the crisis was laid before the United Na- tions. A ilift Troops Despite hopes a UN force will, help relieve Britain's truce bur- den, Brita n was flying in 2,000 troops from home bases together with their armored cars and oth- er heavy equipment. Carver, ,aid in all he will have about 6,006 troops in his truce command. This newly augmented force will try to prevent trouble by getting to the scene before shooting starts, he said. Carver admitted the situation here "tends tc depress me each day,' 'remaiking that "tensions can build up anytime." A shooting - either accidental or otherwise-can produce 'thrust and countei thrust" from optosing sides "and the first thing you Preferenc know you have another Limassol," he said.

O. (Fritz) Crisler announced yesterday. All that stands in the way now is the mere matter of financing the multi-million dollar project and getting the approval of the Regents. This may not be asp much of a roadblock as it sounds, however. Informed sources have indicated that the Regents' decision on the arena will be forthcoming next Thursday at their monthly meet- ing. If approved, the project would call for floating a bond issue to See $3-MILLION, Page 7 DEAN RALPH A. SAWYER Red Premier1 Notes Bonds' With Pakistan RAWALPINDI, Pakistan (AP) - Communist China's Premier Choul En-lai told Pakistan's President Mohammad Ayub Khan last night their countries must oppose imper- ialism together. Speaking at a banquet in his honor, Chou said China and Pak- istan are bound closely together by "similar fighting tasks." Friendly Ties Chou, who arrived in Pakistan's capital yesterday, said friendly ties exist between the two nations and are based partly on "mutual non- aggression, noninterference in each other's internal affairs." This is the closest the Chinese leader has come to publicly stat- ing what is generally believed to be the reason for his visit - at- tempting to convince Ayub to sign a nonaggression treaty with the Communist regime and tear itself away from United States-backed military alliances.~ Supports Two Goals Ayub did not refer to such a pact but'did support two of Chou's major goals, a seat in the United' Nations and a conference of Af- rican and Asian nations which the Chinese say is necessary to halt so-called: imperialism.a In what was generally interpret- ed as a slap at United States ef- forts to keep Pakistan in Asian military alliances. Ayub said For this reason. the University is, for the first time, requiring students who have been admitted to the graduate school for the fall semester to file a $50 deposit by May 1. By mutual consent, universitie, across the nation have set April 15 as. the deadline for accepting grants and fellowships. "Requiring the enrollment de- posit will give us a fairly accu- rate number of how many, stu dents will be entering the gradu- ate school in the fall," Dean Saw- yer estimated. See STUDENTS, Page 2 eral U Thant, who is at work on the plan for sending an interna- tional force to Cyprus. No one objects to, the idea, but there is disagreement on conditions. Late last night Thant asked the UN Security Council to give him more time for private negotiations to win agreement on his plan to end the Cyprus conflict. The Council was in recess from Nw ednesday until today and Thant asked postponement until Mon- day. Tihe February Council Presi- dent, Caros Alfredo Bernardes of Brazil, said he would ptll the members. They are expected to agree. Reporteys asked if Thant ex- pectea agreement by then and he replied, "I have to try." Broad agreement was emerging on the main lines of Thant's plan, but some crucial details remained at issue. The United States insists the composition of the force must be approved by Cyprus, Britain, Greece and Turkey. The last three nations guarantee the independ- ence of Cyprus under the treaty3 of 1960 that cut the eastern Med- iterranean island loose from Britain. Right to Intervene All three have the right' to in- tervene on Cyprus to prevent ag- gression. So the Greek Cypriots want the UN Security Council toj furnish the independence guaran- tees, fearful that Turkey will carry out a threat to send in troops to protect the Turkish Cypriots. This has brought objections from the West, which wants to keep the Soviet Union outside the dispute. The Russians, who have sided with the Greek Cypriots, have a veto in the Security Coun- cil. Outnumbered 4-1, the Turkish Cypriots accuse the Greek Cyp- ricts of trying to wipe out their' minority rights under the 1960 constitution, They say partition of the island is the answer, a solu- tion held to be unacceptable by the Greeks and the Greek Cyp- riots.

SOUTHEAST ASIA: GRETCHEN GROTH $600 BILLION: Economy Up As Expected, Gain of 5.5% WASHINGTON (P) - Official figures showed yesterday that the United States economy hit the $600-billion mark, as expected, in late 1963. Further gains were indicated in the first few weeks of this year The production increase of four per cent for 1963 fell short of boom proportions, but it was above the long-term average, and slight- ly higher than the official govern. 'ment production. With price in- flation taken into account, the gain was 5.5 per cent. Gross National Product The Commerce Department said the gross national product -- the sum of all goods' and services - reached an annual rate of $600.1 billion in the final three months of the year. For the year as a whole, the figure was $585.1 bil- lion. For 1962, it was $554.9 billion. Since the low point- of the re- cession in early 1961, the nation', output has climbed 15.5 per cent, after allowances for price, in. creases. Recent reports on personal in-' come, housing, and durable-good. orders indicate that the economy is still humming along at the same, or a higher, rate this year Although the Federal Reserve Board's index of industrial 'pro- duction showed little increase it January. other government figure; showed significant gains in nev orders for durable goods, housing starts, and reta.il sales.
