The resolution, offered by Rich- ard Van Dusen (R-Birmingham), was hotly contested by various Democrats. Adelaide Hart (D-Detroit) call- ed upon the delegates to put to- gether a carefully considered doc- ument and she said that such a thing could not be accomplished under the .pressure of a deadline. But Van Dusen countered that the deadline allowed ample time for deliberation and cited consti- tutional conventions in New York and Missouri as having complet- ed their duties in "less time than that." Miss Hart said her experience as a schoolteacher had taught her that "cram courses often came to naught." She said the delegates needed time to think and it couldn't be done at night after working a heavy day. As passed, the resolution calls for all public hearings by sub- stantive committees to be com- pleted by Dec. 21, and that all such hearings on delegate pro- posals be completed by Jan. 5. All substantive committee re- ports must be submitted to the convention by Jan. 31, and the committee of the whole must make its reports by Feb. 27. 'Ihe style and drafting commit- tee must report -by Mar. 2, and the second reading of all proposals completed by Mar. 9. The commit- tee's final report must be in by Mar. 23, for adjournment Mar. 31. The education committee, chair- ed by Alvin M. Bentley (R-Owos- so), returned this week from a tour of the Upper Peninsula, where it has been holding hearings in Houghton and Marquette. University President H a r 1 a n Hatcher will appear before the group next Tuesday. BULLETIN ELISABETHVILLE (/P)-Unit- ed States Consul Lewis Hof- facker has been placed under what amounts to house arrest by The Congo's secessionist province Katanga. to automatic suspension of rushing 'privileges" if they failed to submit either the statements or a peti- tion for exemption as provided in the motion. Offending' Houses The motion was amended to read that an offending house "may be subject to disassociation by SGC; as outlined in University Regula- tions on Disciplinary Conduct: Recognition and Activities. (The regulation states, "Upon notification of a possible violation, SGC shall consult with all parties concerned to obtain information pertinent to the situation. When such information has been secured and indicates further action, an open hearing shall be held with the officers of the organization pres- ent. (The Council shall determine the existence of, extent of, and appro- priate penalty for the violation, publicly stating the reasons.) Extenuating Circumstances "Exemption to the requirement outlined above will be granted only in the case of extenuating circumstances, and only if a peti- tion for exemption is submitted by a fraternity or sorority to the President of SGC, and only at the descretion of the Council." Petitions for exemption would have to be filed before 5:00 p.m. Jan. 8, 1962 to be considered. Under an amendment from Steve Stockmeyer, '63, and Robert Ross, '63, passed by the Council, "Petitions should include sub- stantive reasons and evidence for possible exemption and all relevant correspondence with national and alumni groups, relevant portions of constitutions and charters, and convention minutes which are concerned with the disclosure of such information as required in the aforementioned statements." The motion provides that all houses which have not yet filed statements with the accompanying interpretations will be notified by mail by the Council President. Passes Amendment The Council passed an an'iend- ment proposed by Inter-fraternity President Robert Peterson regard- ing the adequacy of statements. "The question of the adequacy of all statements shall be con- sidered after a meeting is held between the executive committee of SGC, representatives and ad- visors of IFC and Panhellenic As- sociation and the entire Commit- tee on Membership in Student Organizations."- ThedCouncil also approved an amendment submitted by Brian Glick. "It should be pointed out that notification from the Vice-Presi- dent for Student Affairs of re- ceipt of statements has not con- stituted and does not constitute notice that statements have been officially ruled complete. Only SGC can officially rule that a statement is complete." Autobahn Movement Denied Travel Access Not Guaranteed BERLIN (AP)-Communist East Germany asserted yesterday that neither it nor the Soviet Union ever guaranteed free movement of United States NATO troops along the 110-mile Autobahn linking West Berlin with West Germany. The statement was made by Deputy Foreign Minister Otto Winzer on the eve of a march by an entire United States battle group to Berlin. About 1,500 men of the 1st Bat- tle Group, 19th Infantry, will re- place the 1st Battle Group, 18th Infantry. The latter was rushed to Berlin on President John F. Ken- nedy's orders after the Commu- nists began imposing drastic con- trols on border crossings Aug. 13. Routine Change The United States Army has stated that the exchange of battle groups is routine. In an interview with a corres- pondent of the official East Ger- man News Agency ADN, Winzer did not refer directly to the march along the life-line highway due to start early today. In reply to a question, Winzer confirmed he considers that there is no international legal basis for free movement of Western troops from and to Berlin. Troop Movement The greater part of the inter- view was devoted to arguing that United States troops which have been moving up and down the Autobahn between West Germany and Berlin on training missions were NATO troops. The official Soviet news agency Tass has called these troop move- ments "fraught with dangerous consequences.' Winzer asserted that the recent reorganization of the United States Berlin command into a brigade put it under the United States 7th Army, a NATO army. This, he said, was an aggressive act. Student Notes East Lansing Discrimination EAST LANSING (PA)-A young Negro college student, central fig- ure in the school integration tur- moil at Little Rock a few years ago, says he has been discrimin- ated against in off campus hous- ing at Michigan State University. Green, a senior majoring in so- cial science under a scholarship, was the first Negro student to graduate from the Little Rock Central High School. He is public relations director of the campus chapter of the Na- tional Association for the Ad- vancement of Colored People. Green said he was personally refused three times at East Lans- ing house units listed by MSU as off-campus housing. "If landlords don't want to rent to broad-nosed people with dark hair and dark skins, they should be honest about it and put a sign out," Green said. Morris S For $100 shows Million Capital Outlay 0> May Set Up Twin Cities Branch of U' Pears Says Subject Discussed at Session Special To The Daily LANSING-Michigan's Twin Ci- ties, Benton Harbor and St. Jo- seph, located along Lake Michi- gan, is considering asking the University to establish a branch there, according to Speaker of the House Don R. Pears (R-Buchan- an). He said that the subject was approached with University ad- ministrators Saturday at a meet- ing in St. Joseph with alumni and area government officials. The idea, brainchild of the St. Joseph Greater Community Corp., has not yet been discussed even informally, Vice - President and Dean of Faculties Marvin L. Nie- huss said yesterday. He said he informed the meet- ing that several questions would have to be answered satisfactorily before the University would go in- to a plan similar to those at Flint and Dearborn: 1) The local community college people would have to be receptive to cooperation in a joint venture under which the local school would continue the first two years and the University would handle the junior and senior years. This is the arrangement at Flint and Dearborn. 2) The area must show a mini- mum student body potential justi- fying a need beyond junior college level. 3) Someone from the area would have to put up the money for buildings and equipment because the University doesn't have such resources and the condition of the Michigan treasury does not indi- cate Lansing would underwrite such a venture. -Daily-Ed Langs CAPITAL EXPANSION-Michigan State University President John Hannah yesterday proposed a possible ear-marked tax to provide funds for higher education in Michigan at a special Senate sub-committee meeting. RAID ON DORMS: Seek Panti es at the Hill Some Optimism By MICHAEL JULIAR The booty from last night's panty raid was carried by the cold winter wind, just out of reach Debate Seat For Chinese UNITED NATIONS R)-Ghana and Cuba yesterday rejected United States arguments against admitting Red China to the Unit- ed Nations and urged the Gen- eral Assembly to admit the Pei- ping government without delay. Sawyer Explains PFlans For Language Courses By HARRY PERLSTADT Vice-President for Researeh and Dean of the Graduate School Ralph A. Sawyer yesterday told of plans for correspondence courses, teaching machines, and extension courses to alleviate the problem of language courses for graduate students. This semester the number of sections in the language reading courses were reduced due to insufficient funds while the number of students desiring the courses increased, Sawyer said. At Joint Meeting He told a joint meeting of the Rackham Executive Board and the Graduate Student Council that the French and German depart- ments would increase sections, butt of quad residents who stormed the hill. One observer overlooking the proceedings, said "it is ironic that on this same night over in the SAB, SGC is discussing the matter of giving more authority to these responsible students." A- student in the East Quad said that he was playing bridge "when I heard some noise, took a look, and decided to join the panty raid." But other students in the South Quad said that they had anticipated the demonstration, and many of the men in the quad had been alerted ahead of time. The cold brisk night didn't have any effect on the students as they raced through the streets. A sharp wind didn't help many of the men as the panties that were tossed from the women's windows caught on trees, terraces, and overhanging ledges of the dormitories. But these plights didn't daunt the spirit of the raid- ers. If the pair of pants on a ledge couldn't be reached, an- other women's dangling panty was sought. soOver 200 students from the three men's quads made a complete round of the women's dormatories. Starting at the South Quad, the panty raid started in the futile search for the Christmas tree that bedecks the roof of the Qutd. A milling crowd gathered around ward "The Hill." But the Christmas tree never retrieved. Bond Posted For Students In McComb Special To The Daily McCOMB, Miss.-Thirteen school students arrested here ing a mass demonstration was a nearby fraternity, declaring that the missing tree was inside of the house, but when it was realized that the tree was not to be found there attentions were turned to- high dur- and MSU Head Recommends Bond Issue Proposes Earmarked Tax To Raise Funds; Discusses Schools By CAROLINE DOW and MICHAEL HARRAH Special To The Daily LANSING - Insisting on a "down-to-earth program which can be sold to the Legislature and the people," Sen. Carleton Morris (R-Kalamazoo) was optimistic yesterday about the possibilities for some $100 million in capital outlay funds for the state's col- leges and universities. Michigan State University Pres- ident John A. Hannah, speaking in behalf of the State Council of College Presidents, addressed Mor- ris' subcommittee on capital ex- pansion, recommending a bonding program and an earmarked tax be undertaken to meet building needs. Morris said his committee would initiate two capital outlay bills in the next session, which convenes in January; one for providing for a bonding program and one for a "pay-as-you-go" plan. Reach Agreement Hannah told the subcommittee that the SCCP had reached gens eral agreement that a capital out- lay program of approximately $175 million for five years was about the minimum that could be en- dorsed. (The University has re- quested $140 million in capital ex- pansion funds for that period.) "We believe that a firm com- mitment by the State of Michigan to a program of that size to be completed within a five-year per- iod would allow for orderly and ef- ficient planning to meet our most pressing needs," Hannah added. He said a state agency should be created to provide for the fi- nancing. It should have the power to incur obligations in anticipation of state tax revenue and could be limited to having outstanding obligations not exceeding $100 mil- lion at any one time. Over 20 Years He asked that such bonding should not mature in periods of more than 20 years, that the i.eg- islature should retain full author- ity over individual projects, and that it should provide for revenue of not less than $15 million an- nually, as long as any of the ob- ligations were outstanding. He also suggested that ths revenue be obtained by a tax levied and set aside for it. Hannah said the main problem faced by the universities was that "legislative programs for capital improvements have been inade- quate by any measure since 1950." 'Little Consolation' He added that it was "but little consolation" that the Legislature had granted small sums in "cases of urgent need" for the planning of structures but has been unable to provide the building funds. Hannah said the present build- ings are serving the academic needs of 100,700 students ade- quately in most cases, inadequately in many. But he added, "We are talking about caring for an ad- ditional 100,000 students eight or ten years hence. It will certainly require a very large investment to care" for so many more. The SCCP rejected the pay- as-you-go program on several grounds: First, it is "hit-or-miss" due to "violent fluctuations" in the economy;- second, the needs hardly be financed within an ac' pray-in last October were released from jail, yesterday on $1,000 ap- peal bonds. The students, along with three staff members of the Student Non- Violent Coordinating Committee, are awaiting trial on charges of disturbing the peace and contrib- uting to the delinquency of minors. The trial date will probably be set for, early January, SNCC staff member James Forman reported. The students were arrested on the steps of the McComb city hall at the end of a march in protest to the expulsion of some Burgland Negro High School students after they participated in local sit-in demonstrations. SGC- Tha yer Notes AppropriationsProbleni By MARJORIE BRAHMS Appropriations are like cutting up a pie and giving a slice of it to higher education, Sen. Stanley G. Thayer (R-Ann Arbor) noted at the Student Government Council meeting last night. The majority of state legislators are "not crusading for higher education budget increases" Thayer pointed out. Many are impressed with the need of such institutions as mental hospitals more than that of higher education. However, marches on Lansing are not a means of getting appro- priations, Thayer said, but "good criticism" in the press would be an effctive wa vto enrpess oninion. they could not find enough in- structors, especially the French department. "We had too many people who wanted to take German 111, the reading course," Prof. Clarence Pott, chairman of the German de- partment, said later. "The course has a large amount of exercise material which the instructors must correct. "There were 15 students who could not be placed in sections. But they were allowed to go to the class as 'visitors' and get the same instruction. These 15 did their exercises on the teaching machines in the language labora- tory. "At the end of the present se- mester they will take the same test as the regular students. If they pass the test they will receive credit for the course and be eligi- h1 to take German 112. 4' By DENISE WACKER Speaking at the Women's Mass Rush meeting yesterday, Panhel- lenic President Susan Stillerman, '62A&D, cited Panhellenic as "one of many interlocking facets sym- bolizing the dynamic generation at the University. "A woman student comes to the University for two things-to find herself as an individual and then loose herself in causes, interests and ideas larger and more en- during than herself. The sorority can well implement this double ob- ligation of today's woman," Miss Stillerman said.
