ATIO SI E' T Pefz Views HRB Project By RICHARD KRAUT Donald Pelz, consultant to the Life and Work Department of the Council of Churches, last night stressed that Project Welcome "can be extremely significant." This project, sponsored by the Human Relations Board, entails the circulation of petitions urg- ing landlords to select tenants on the basis of individual merit and not on race, creed or national ori- gin. The Board plans to send the petitions to the landlords in Ann Arbor." Pelz thinks that the project has great psychological advantages be- cause the petitions contain a state- ment assuring landlords that the signers would welcome into their apartments any responsible per- sons, regardless of their race, color, creed or nationality. Combats Custom The first advantage is that the Statement of Welcome combats the force of custom. "Everyone tries to adjust to what is considered cor- rect and the Statement of Wel- come changes the notion of what is expected," Pelz said. The petitions reinforce the com- mitment to integrated private housing of those already favorably inclined. "Once you put your name on something, your actions must become consistent with your ex- pressed attitudes." Finally, the individual must make a decision when he is asked to sign the Statement of Welcome. "Usually we tend to avoid thinking about prejudice and discrimina- tion," Pelz said. "This makes us think about it." Positive Approach Pelz considers this positive ap- proach a more effective weapon against discrimination than the negative approach. Asking some- one to help fight discrimination is better than condemning them for practicing it.' To back this up, Pelz cited psy- chological studies to determine the "overwhelming power of the un- animous group." It was found, he says, that the individual had a much greater tendency to dissent from the group when he was not the only one to do so. Thus far, the project has been endorsed by Student Government Council, Assembly Association, Voice Political Party and East Q u a d r a n g 1 e. Interquadrangle Council has recommended the cir- culation of petitions in the quads. Today through Friday the board will have a booth in the Fishbowl. Petitions will be available for sign- ing and relevant material will be distributed. A member of the board will be on hand to discuss the project and answer any questions. The board will also contact var- ious student organizations to schedule speakers on the project. Plans are also in being to workI through various graduate student groups. Lewis Named To New Post Vice-President for Student Af- fairs James A. Lewis was named to the Michigan Civil Service Com- mission yesterday by Gov. John B. Swainson. Lewis will succeed Stephen S. Nisbet, constitutional convention president. He will fill the Republi- can vacancy on the bi-partisan group. The commission is a four-mem- bered non-salaried group appoint- ed by the governor for eight-year terms. It has the responsibility and authority to fix all rates of com- nensation. classify all positions. 'cision on calendaring for the 1963 academic year is near, he con- tinued. Prof. Spurr addressed the Uni- versity Senate on proposed solu- tions for problems the faculty must face when year-round opera- tion becomes effective next year. He was chairman of the Senate sub-committee on year-round op- eration last June and has explored v a r io u s academic adjustments which full-year operation necessi- tates. Transfer of Responsibility The administrative changes in- volve a transfer of responsibility from the Summer Session office to various individual schools and colleges. The faculties will have the job of planning their educational pro- grams for year-round operation. These programs are to be activated by the deans of the colleges by the 1963 summer session. Concerning salary and appoint- ment changes, Prof. Spurr said that "it seems that the basic nine- month academic appointment is not only well established, but also highly meritorious in that it al- lows time for each teaching mem- ber of the faculty to arrange a part of the year to meet his own particular needs." Nine-Month Appointment This nine-month appointment could be maintained during the full-year calendar, since the aca- demic year "would be defined as a nine-month term for which the faculty member is reimbursed in 12 payments." Teaching during the third se- mester would be optional - how- ever, the salary for such work would be at a higher rate than the present salary offered instruc- tors working at the University during the summer session. Such work was somewhat discouraged by Prof. Spurr since it "seems to involve a real overload with at- tendant problems of overwork and fatigue on the part of the teacher."' Intensify Discussion Prof. Spurr noted that discus-I sions during the next few weeks on the starting date for the 1963 academic year will be intensifiedi since it is essential that the Re-i gents determine this date as soon' as possible to facilitate advance planning. He said that it is likely that the term will start the day1 followiig Labor Day, 1963. 1 Prof. Charles A. Sawyer of thei history of art department asserted that the final form of the propos- als is several weeks away. UGLI To Offer Loan Library Of Paperbacks The Undergraduate Library yes- terday installed an Honor Loan Collection of nearly one thousand paperback books, which may be borrowed from the library without charging. The books arepart of an 1,800- book collection donated by their publishers last February for a dis- play in conjunction with the Con- ference on the Paperback in Edu- cation. At the time, the UGLI agreed with the publishers that the books would be made into an honor loan collection following the exhibit.3 However, during the course of the exhibit, nearly half the books were removed from the library and not returned. Mrs. Roberta Keniston, Head Li- brarian of the UGLI, explained the library's decision to establish the Honor Loan Collection despite the: disappearance of the books in the display. "The publishers gave the books to the library with the understand- ing that we would use them in this way. We want to live up to this committment," she commented. "This is a very fine collection of: books, and we feel the students will RANGER IV faulty brain Spaces hip Track To Moon CAPE CANAVERAL (RA) - The Ranger IV lunar vehicle speeding through space today with a faulty "brain" will probably impact 'on the moon Thursday morning, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration announced last night. The space agency announced at 10:25 p.m. EST last night - more than seven hours after launching -that tracking data indicates the gold and silver space craft will probably hit the moon at 8:55 a.m., EST, on April 26. An announcement said that the Ranger IV on its present course ~will pass about 900 miles above the top edge of the mooniand impact on the back side - the part of the moon never seen from the earth. The space agency said that the impact will occur at a lunar lati- tude of six degrees south, and longitude of 216 degrees east. The announcement said that an attempt to send signals to try to correct a malfunction in the space craft at 9:30 p.m. last night ap- parently had failed, and the Ran- ger IV would continue on a colli- sion course with the moon. This eliminated the possibility that two other major goals of the experiment could be accomplished. These aims were the relay of tele- vision pictures as the vehicle neared the moon, and the separa- tion and landing of an instrument package which would have relayed information on moon quakes and meteor hits. Nevertheless, officials reported that attempts would continue to be made to correct the space craft's malfunction by sending radio com- mand signals to the vehicle. If the trouble is remedied, Ran- ger IV could begin obeying com- mands from the ground with the possibility it could be guided to its original destination on the bright side. However, officials considered this a very remote hope. League Night Speech Cites Student Ills By BARBARA LAZARUS A call to shake off apathy and the lack of desire to be well in- formed was issued by Bea Nem- lana, '62, former president of the Woman's League, last night. Speaking at League Installation Night, Miss Nemlaha said that "we ought to all as individuals feel some responsibility for what hap- pens here at Michigan and take our place in the world." She called upon all students to look at things and criticize them. "People may not like this, because it leads to conflicting ideas. It is this clash of ideas which leads to progress." Made Way "This year many names of or- ganizations and events have made their way to this campus: Sigma. Nu, Student Government Council election, a proposed Michigan Un- ion-League merger, criticism of Judiciaries and women's rules. "How many students were aware of these issues and could express opinions about them? There is not enough challenge on this campus and all campuses across the coun- tr y." Miss Nemlaha said that this call td responsibility is on a different level than the appeal in high school "to get into activities," and it has more serious consequences if it is ignored. Korean War Studies about Korean War pris- oners show the sad state of morale which exists when 600 American prisoners are guarded by six Chi- nese guards, she said. "You can't call these men trai- tors because they had no under- standing of their weak points. All these things are just symptoms of greater problems." The OSA Committee was one of the most important things to hap- pen in years, yet there was little student reaction, Miss Nemlaha said. The Committee met in closed session, and it shouldn't have, be- cause the important things didn't get out. Membership Selection "The question of membership se- lection - how many people in chapter meetings have debated this question? The principle involved here is of social responsibility," she stressed. Students must "keep their eyes and ears open and be willing to discuss questions which are im- portant to them.. CHARLES HOHMAN ... "Sergeants" MARIAN MERCER GLORIA S ... "Sunshine" . . .

The five plays slated for per- formance are "Toys in the Attic," "No Time for Sergeants," "The Inkwell," "Little Mary Sunshine" and "The Country Girl." Marc Alan Zagoren, '62, special repre- sentative, said yesterday. Starting May 14 and running through June 16, there will be six performances a week with mat- inees on Thursday and Saturday. Each play will run one week. Montgomery To Star "Toys in the Attic", by Lillian Hellman, will star George Mont- gomery. The drama, winner of the New York Drama Critics Award two years ago and nominated for a Pulitzer Prize, tells the story of two spinsters who thrive on their brother's weakness. "No Time for Sergeants" ran for two and one-half years in New York and was made into a movie by Josh Logan. Starring Charles Hohman, who took over the lead from Andy Griffith on Broadway, it is a farce on army bureaucracy. Gloria Swanson will star in the pre-Broadway try-out of "The Inkwell." The comedy, written by Harold Kennedy, opened at Drury Lane Playhouse near Chicago, went to the Coconut Grove Play- house in Florida, and is coming to Ann Arbor before opening on Broadway. It tells the story of an actress coming back to her daugh- ter and making an adjustment to life. 'Little Mary' Marian Mercer, '58, will star in "Little Mary Sunshine," now run- ning off-Broadway in New York. "Sunshine," by Rick Besoyan, is a musical satire on operettas of the Victor Herbert, Sigmund Rom- berg variety. Miss Mercer had the lead in the first production of Musket, "Kiss Me Kate", in 1957.

INSTALLATION NIGHT: Name Skiles Head of League Margaret Skiles, '63, was ap- pointed the new president of the Women's League by Bea Nemlaha, '62, last year's president, last night at League Installation Night. The executive officers for next year include: Susan Sprunk, '63, executive vice-president in charge of finances; Allyn Thompson, '63, administrative vice-president in charge of League standing com- mittees; and Gretchen Groth, '64, coordinating vice - president in charge of class projects. The new members of Woman's Judiciary Council include: Helen Berkowitz and Susan Taisch, soph- omore members; Barbara Victor, Edith Bassichis, Linda Beck, Cath- erine Sipe and Esteh Mallon, jun- ior members; and Penny Paton, the senior member. The new assistant chairman of Without Paper Detroit has been without a met- ropolitan daily newspaper since April 15 when the Detroit News and Free Press published a joint Sunday edition. After a settle-i ment of a Teamster's strike against the Free Press, members of the ITU local and Local 10 of the Plate and Paper Handlers Union voted "to continue the lockout" they claimed resulted from the layoff of some 4000 News and I Free Press employes during the Teamster's strike. In Washington, Charles W.' Schneider, a NLRB trial examin-: er, ruled that a New York news- paper pact similar to the one in Detroit is an illegal lockout agree- ment and should be canceled.

BROWDER, JR., of the Law School, chairman of the Board in Control of Student Publications, has issued the following statement on The Michigan Daily: The Board last Friday accepted four of seven recommenda- tions of the Daily senior staff, including those for editor and city editor. The changes included the shift of one person from the edit desk to the city desk and one from the city desk to the edit desk. The Board appointed a different person from the one recommended for magazine editor. It named co-editorial directors, one of whom was recommended by the Daily senior staff. These changes, not without precedent, were unanimous actions of the entire Board. At a special meeting Sunday, the Board accepted the resignations of the senior editors and acknowledged the decision of seven of the eight junior editors to reject the positions to which they were appointed. The Board also accepted the offer of the same Junior editors to remain in their former positions as night editors and continue publication of the newspaper. IN ORDER TO ESTABLISH a line of communication with the Daily staff, the Board resolved that Michael Harrah, who had accepted the position of city editor, is senior editor in charge of The Daily until such time as the position of editor is filled. The Board asked the cooperation of every member of The Daily staff in the interim period. The Board set May 15 as the deadline for filing petitions for the vacant editorial staff positions. According to the senior editors of The Michigan Daily, it now has become scandalous for the student publications board to exercise its normal and lawful authority.
