LXXII, No. 9 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1961 SEVEN CENTS SIX PAGES F SPEAKER POLICY: May Start Bylaw Inquiry Russia Seeks UN Action By ROBERT FARRELL The Regents may soon get pro- posals for revisions in their bylaw governing the use of University facilities for lectures. Drafting possible revisions would be one of the duties of a new Lec- ture Committee that the Regents will consider establishing at their meeting Friday. A request from Vice-President for Student Affairs James A. Lewis for authorization to establish the new committee asks that the com- mittee, in addition to being re- sponsible for controlling the use of faclities for lectures, draft a report to him on desirable bylaw changes. He would then consider the ad- visibility of taking some or all of -Daily-Edward Langs HOUSING COMPLEX-The University has announced tentative plans for new women's housing, to be opened in September, 1963. 'U'M TPakes tentative Plans or eW Women sHousing The University hopes to open a new type of housing for students in September, 1963. Presently designed to accommodate only women, a complex of 10 buildings including small co-operative type units, suite-kitchen- ettes and apartments will be built on the lot at Oxford and Geddes Rds. The project will hold about 420 students and is expected to cost about $2.5 million dollars, Vice-President for Business and 1 Finance Wilbur K. Pierpont said the proposed revisions before the Regents for approval. The form of the new committee (five faculty and two student members) would be the same as that of the previous one, which fell apart after the University series of Platform Attractions, for which the faculty members of the committee were responsible, wasI dropped last spring. Prof. Samuel D. Estep of theE Law School would be the chairman of the new group, Lewis reported. The Regents bylaw on lectures which the group would consider revisions in provides in part that: 1) recognized student organi- zations may be granted permisson to use Unversity facilities for lec- tures or meetings, provided that the group guarantees that there will be no advocacy of the subver- sion of the United States nor of Michigan. 2) "No addresses shall be al- lowed which urge the destruction or modification of our form of government by violence or other unlawful methods or which advo- cate or justify conduct which vio- lates the fundamentals of our ac- cepted code of morals.'' 'Voice' Head Views Action Voice Political Party Chairman Kenneth McEldowney, '62, last night applauded the possibility of revisions in the Regents Bylaw on lectures. The formation of a new lecture committee which will study pos- sible bylaw revisions will be recom- mended to the Regents at their -meeting this Friday by Vice- President for Student Affairs James A. Lewis. McEldowney, speaking for Voice's executive committee, cited the Voice platform which calls for elmination of restrictions on lec- tures which may be held in Uni- versity facilities and expressed the wish that the new lecture com- mittee, if formed, "holds all de- lberations on this matter in open session." The two restrictions on the use of University facilities for lectures which the Voice platform opposes provide that no speakers may be permitted who advocate: 1) "modification of our form of government by violence or other unlawful means," 2) "conduct which violates the fundamentals of our accepted code of morals." The bylaw also contains a pro- vision prohibiting addresses advo- cating subversion of the govern- ment of Michigan or the United States. Voice first learned of the pos- sible changes when they attempted to get normal lecture committee approval for an event they wish to schedule and were informed that the former lecture committee was inoperative due to resigna- tions of its faculty members. West Denies Red Charges About Planes MOSCOW {')-The United States, Britain and France yester- day rejected Soviet charges that the flight of two West German fighter planes to West Berlin Sept. 14 Was a warlike act. In similar notes replying to Mos- cow's protests of Sept. 17, the Western Big Three advised the Soviets to avoid getting excited over such incidents. They said the two F84 jets had clearly lost their way, run out of fuel and had to land. The planes touched down at Tegel Airport in Berlin's French sector. 'Surprsed' at Note "Under these circumstances," said the American note, "the United States government is sur- prised that the government of thef USSR finds it possible to talk of 'provocations' and 'execution of a warlike mssion including the de- To Alleviate Berlin Crisis PROF. JOHN REED ... committee chairman yesterday. The construction will be financed by a loan from the Housing and Home Finance Agency. The loan will be paid back from the proceeds of the develop- ment. The project is expected to in- clude four buildings, each housing 30 students mainly in double rooms. Each unit will have its own kitchen, dining-study and lounge-reception rooms. Also planned are two similar units, each connected with a build- ing housing 44 students in suite- kitchenettes. These students would have the opportunity to participate in co-operative work arrange- ments for some of their meals and the facilities to cook Two further units including 18 four-student apartments and one double apartment each round out the design of the project. To Discuss OSA Study. The Study Committee on the Office of Student Affairs and some members of the Student3 Government Council will meet this afternoon in an attempt to reach a decision on the number and sta- tus of students to participate on the committee. Prof. John Reed of the Law School, study committee chair- man, said the committee will wait until after the meeting to decide whether to accept SGC's request to seat four of its members plus an ex-officio member. Reed said after the committee's meeting yesterday he believed the consensus was that it should be kept as small as possible since a large group would become un- wieldy. "But if there is a valid reason for increasing the number, the committee .would not be unfriend- ly to SGC's suggestion," he said. Reed said the committee had postponed decision on SGC's re- quest that its delegates be per- mitted to report back to the Council in open session on the committee's progress. "We want to wait until the stu- dent members join the committee so that the entire group can make the decision," he said. The Executive Council of SGC will meet with the committee along with Daily Editor John Roberts, '62, and Brian Glick, '62, framers of the SGC motion on the committee. Positions Open For Council Committees Petitioning opens today for stu- dents interested in joining one of Student Government Council's three standing committees: theE Committee on the University, the Committee on Student Concerns and the Committee on Student Activities. Each committee will be com- posed of four Council members and four students who must have a minimum of 15 credit hours. Petitions are available at the SGC office in the Student Activi- ties Bldg. Petitioning will close at 5 p.m. Friday. Interviews for petitioners will be conducted Sunday and Oct. 8. Soviets Alter 'Troika' Plan To Run UN Big Four Consider j Ideas on Secretariat UNITED NATIONS () - The Soviet Union shifted slightly from its Troika plan last night in a Big Four conference on a tem- porary replacement for the late Secretary - General Dag Ham- marskjold. But it still insisted on a col- lective UN executive with a built- in veto, while Britain, France and the United States insisted on a single executive not subject to veto. So the hour-long conference ended without agreement. The Soviet Union proposed that the UN Secretariat be run for the time being by one top man and three deputies and that each of the four be able to veto any decisions. Insist on Threej Previously it had insisted that there should be three men at the top - representing Communist, Western and uncommitted coun- tries-and that each should have a veto. The Big Four also disagreed on how the new top management of! the UN Secretariat should be chosen. The Western powers said by the General Assembly; the So-1 viet Union said by the Security Council. The participants in the confer-- ence-the UN ambassadors of the! four countries-were amiable asi they came out of the conference.1 But they had not set a furtherl meeting. Arranges Conference E Ambassador Nathan Barnes of Liberia, who arranged the con- ference, told reporters, "I hope to see them again." He said the United States, Brit-Y ain and France insisted there should be one man appointed by the General Assembly. The Soviet Union held there* should be one top man with three deputies and "they should agree" on all decisions, he said. "The!

UN Postpones' Admissions UNITED NATIONS ') - The United Nations Security Council last night put off until Monday any action on the applications of Mauritania and Communist Outer Mongolia for UN membership. Earlier in the day it had rec- ommended Sierra Leone, a newly independent African nation be ad- mitted as the 100th member. Prospects are that Nationalist China will veto the application ofI Outer Mongolia and the Soviet Union the application of Mauri-I tania. Envoy Says German Pact Aids Peace Claims USSR Ready To Allow UN Troops In Demilitarized City UNITED NATIONS (-) - The Soviet Union bid last night for a United Nations role in Berlin to help avoid the threat of a war that could take "hundreds of mil- lions of human lives." Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko told the UN General As- -AP wirephoto ANDREI GROMYKO-Speaking before the UN General Assembly yesterday, he cited the possibility of a UN role in West Berlin. PRESIDENTS' COUNCIL: State Colleges Approve IA ccounting Procedures The State Council of College Presidents yesterday took a big step toward uniform financial reporting by the nine state-supported institutions of higher learning. The presidents approved, in concept, a set of accounting pro- cedures that can be used by all nine colleges and universities in their reports to the state Legislature, a spokesman explained. At present, financial reporting practices vary among the nine, and it is impossible to make direct com- , parisons of their financial re- Tm ports. To- Nominate The presidents are aiming to eliminate the differences. SGC 1M em bers John A. Hannah, president of Michigan State University and To OSA G rou head of the Council this year, said O.3 +h id t e eivd nroaress Le presuen usr eceie p igl reports from the committees at work on producing uniform ac- counting methods and on uniform proceedures in determining in- structional costs. Necessary decisions to imple- ment further the work of these committees were made. Controllers of the nine institu- tions had been asked by the Council to submit procedures which would form the basis of a comparative study of unit costs of operation by function and major curricula. The Council had earlier deter- mined that enrollments will be reported by credit hours registered for by students at five separate levels. A previous plan for estimating instructional loads would have operated on a full-time equivalent method based on the average num- ber of hours carried by students in each category. The nine-member council also voted to increase its future mem- bership to ten by admitting the still-to-be named president of Grand Valley State College in Grand Rapids. 9~~~( S4n;1fG 1, . ~.g~1 . .( . .i. .!_..17 Y,'.1 iy. .a. as i u11 .

Two of the Council members nominated should be members of the Committee on the University. 4.1 The persons must be able to function effectively as members of a study committee. 5. The continuity of the Study Committee musthbe borne in mind. If the members of the Council fail to be re-elected (in November) new appointments would have to be made of ether old or new Coun- cil members. 6. The persons must have a sin- cere interest in' and affection for the project.

House Vote Kills sembly in a major policy speech that Moscow intends to sign a separate peace treaty with East Germany regardless of Western opposition. But he said'"there is a way out" of avoiding war: "to sign in 1961 a German peace treaty and to normalize the situation in West Berlin ... by turning it into a de- militarized free city and prompt- ly to call a peace conference for this purpose." Guarantee Status He said the Soviet Union is ready to agree to use of troop con- tingents of neutral states or UN troops to guarantee status of West Berlin as a free city. Referring directly to a possible UN role, he said that war or peace is involved in the German ques- tion. "No state, no responsible gov- ernment, no responsible states- man can view such a question im- passively," he declared. "There can be no neutral states in this ques- tion. Neither can or shouldthe UN, as a whole, be a neutral, in- different onlooker." Gromyko stressed theBerlin crisis in a speech lasting more than an hour in which he also rejected President John F. Ken- nedy's proposal for a treaty to end tests of nuclear weapons. Gromyko's speech constituted in great part a reply to Kennedy's speech delivered to the Assembly Monday. Main Points Gromyko made these addition- al main points: 1. The Soviet .Union cannot ac- cept a treaty toend nuclear tests, but that this should be merged in- to the over-all consideration of a treaty on general and complete disarmament. 2. The United Nations should create a UN commission to super- vise an end to colonialism and to achieve immediate independence of peoples not yet having that status. 3. The Soviet Union still insists upon a three-ma "troika'" UN secretariat to replace the single post held by late Secretary-Gen- eral Dag Hammarskjold, but is willing to consider some kind of "provisional solution" to the im- mediate problem created by Ham- marskjold's death in a plane crash last week. 4. The Soviet Union demands admission of Communist China and expulsion of Nationalist China from the UN, and rejects any pro- posal fora commission that would study the issue and thus delay an immediate decision. German Crisis But main interest centered on Gromyko's declarations regarding the German crisis. Kennedy warned Monday that the United States had both the will and the weapons to 'defend the freedom of West Berlin. "The leaders of certain Western powers," Gromyko said, "often come out with statements to the effect that those powers will not stop short at a test of strength in reply to the conclusion of a Ger- man peace treaty, or in other words, they will reply by war to the peace which the Soviet gov- ernment is proposing." He said that there is a great difference between statements abQut readiness to use force and the actual use of force, if account is taken of what such conse- quences would imply. He stressed that the Soviet Unun ill conlude a ee tretv Smashes, 60th Home Run NEW YORK (A)-Roger Maris blasted his 60th home run of the season last night but it came four games too late to tie officially Babe Ruth's 34-year-old record for 154 games. Maris connected with a 2-2 pitch by Baltimore right-hander Jack! Fisher and sent it into the upper right field standsin the third inning. It came in the Yanks' 159th game of the season, including one tie. Commissioner Ford Frick had set 154 team decisions as the limit for Maris to tie or surpass Ruth's 1927 record. He does become only the second player in major league history to reach the magic 60-mark. Frick has ruled that Maris' record will go down in the record books as a standard for a 162-game schedule. His homer also helped the Yanks beat the Orioles, 3-2, with Ro- land Sheldon winning in relief of Bud Daley. Maris fouled off the first two pitches to fall behind Fisher, 0 and 2. Then he took two balls and fouled one into the dirt before connect- ing.
