ing Servicedt In the literary college, however, the student is- bound only by a set of distribution requirements which channels, but does not specify. A student may take virtually anything he wishes. The counselor must deal with the student on a one-to-one basis, using his persuasion and advice to recommend and approve electives. The academic counselor has no binding authority on the student. His only real power is to recommend courses or curricula on the basis of information he has available on the student. The Bureau of Psychological Services, consisting of four divisions, offers a great variety of counseling services to students. The first of these is the reading improvement service, a division which has much more scope than its name implies. Students may develop reading speed and comprehension, improve their ability to write exams and take notes, increase their vocabularies, improve spelling and theme writing and learn new methods for studying langu- ages. Special Classes The usual procedure here is to assign a student to special classes designed for his particular purpose. With the increasing ability of contemporary society to digest sample space surveys, statistical research into methodology, and psy- chological approaches to problem solving, counseling, including that at the University, has ostensibly taken a new approach. Offer Individual Ai6 The evaluation and examination division best illustrates this. By providing test data, providing procedures for classifying and placing students, conducting research on aptitude testing and seeking improve- ment of present counseling methods, the division keeps other coun- seling groups informed. The student counseling division utilizes trained psychologists to assist students in nearly any problem they might face. The procedure here is usually a series of interviews designed to give a student a broader outlook at his particular problem. Non-Student Aid The psychological clinic, also a part of the Bureau of Psychological Services, provides service for people, usually in the local area, who are not students. For problems directly related to University conduct, such as scholarships, loans, discipline, autos, and housing, both the offices of the deans of men and women can be consulted. The two offices also refer students to other counseling services, Both the men's and, women's residence halls have potential counselors in the resident advisers, assistant resident advisers, and housemothers. Students with mental, emotional and personality problems, especially those resulting from physical disorders, may find help in the mental hygiene unit of the Health Service. The unit accommodates all requests as soon as possible. Since about one-third of the students seeking help at the student counseling division of the Bureau of Psychological Services cannot be accommo- dated because of lack of time, many students go here for help. Two University divisions which employ counseling as a subsidiary service are the admissions office and the registration and records office. The admissions office gives counseling on request to high school students who are considering coming to the University. The registra- tion and records office gives supplementary academic counseling, advice concerning the selective service system and provides various counseling services during orientation. For students with certain special needs, there are several topical counseling services available. Veterans Affairs The veterans affairs office acts as a liaison between the University and the Veterans Administration. The speech clinic tests each student upon entrance for possible speech defects and provides special training for those who need it. The appointments bureau handles student problems for both short and long-range employment while out of, school. The summer place- ment division helps to find jobs for students during summer, both in and out of Ann Arbor.

Four members of the informal coalition have admitted that they would not be adverse to consider- ing such a tax. Sen. Stanley G. Thayer (R-Ann Arbor) reiterated that "we will have to accept the basic principle of an income tax" if the state is to do anything about its fiscal problems. Senators Wil- liam E. Milliken (R-Traverse City), Farrell E. Roberts (R-Pontiac) and John W. Fitzgerald (R-Grand Ledge) concurred. But another moderate, Sen. Harry Litowich (R-Benton Har- bor), was emphatic in his opposi- tion to an income tax. "If we pass such a tax, it might start out with exemptions of $5,000 and a two per cent rate, but it would soon de- generate into a $500 exemption and a five per cent rate. 'Not Temporary' "And there's no reason to believe, it would be temporary: no tax is very temporary. If the working men think this is a good thing, it wouldn't be good for very long." Litowich pointed out that the cost of instituting and keeping up the machinery and personnel for an income tax would be "enor- mous," and not worth the expense. Rep. Gail R. Handy (R-Eau Claire) emphasized "this tax would be murder and most Republicans will fight it. We've got a duty to every "little guy" in Michigan to protect his income." Handy looked upon the idea as an attempt by lobbyists to shift the tax burden to "the common fellow who has no lobby." Tax 'Dead' Speaker of the House Don R. Pears (R - Buchanan) said "it's dead, as far as I'm concerned. Some Republicans may support it, but it won't' get anywhere." Meanwhile, Sen. Frank D. Beadle (R-St. Clair) summoned a GOP caucus at which he told the sena- tors that he did not "think we should close the door on a broad base income tax and corporation tax" with certain adjustments. Council Delays Decision On Statement Adequacy _ 'U' PLAN: Swainson Considers Mars Trip LANSING () - Gov. John B. Swainson sat down yesterday with two University professors to dis- cuss a manned trip to Mars. Looking far into the future, the, governor discussed the flight with Vice-President in Charge of Re- search Ralph Sawyer and Prof. Richard Morrison, engineering re- search department. The Space Science Committee of the Institute of Science and Technology will study the possi- blity of centering research for the future flight in Michigan-through the University and the Institute. Prof. Morrison said he will con- sult with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration after an initial study is made. Feasibility Study An evaluation and feasibility study' would be 'first on the list when and if NASA agrees to sup- port research. "We're not talking about to- morrow or the next day," Prof. Morrison said, "it would take at least 10 years to develop a life- support system for a round trip to Mars." But, Sawyer said, "it's not too early to start thinking about the University's part in the project.". It is capable, he added, of assem- bling the group of scientists neces- sary to do the job. Increased Research Increased research activity would stimulate Michigan indus- try, Swainson said. "I'm encour- aging this idea, but I'm awaiting the study results," he said. The Great Lakes system would be ideal for the transportation of big boosters and rocket parts, Prof. Morrison said. 7 1 l a ii -Daily-Peter Gottschalk FAREWELL BANQUET-R.

PeaceCorpsmen Embark By BARBARA PASH Forty-five Peace Corps volunteers left Ann Arbor at 8:15 a.m. today to begin their two-year service in Thailand. The Corpsmen's main objective will be to work in cooperation with the Thai government to lower incidence of malaria, improve general health, teach English as a foreign language and better in- structional methods in higher education.

In its present form the motion would mandate the president of SGC to inspect the statements filed in order to give notice to any group which has not met the re- quirements of the University Reg- ulation of Dec. 13, 1960 requiring groups to submit a list of mem- bership provisions and an inter- pretation. Fraternities and sororities whose statements in his opinion do not include the information and in- terpretations would be notified of the deficiency by the president be- fore 'Feb. 23. Resubmit Statements Corrected statements would have to be resubmitted to the Office of the Vice-President for Student Af- fairs within 60 days from the date of notification by SGC. Under the provisions of the mo- tion, "If the president of SGC finds that a group has not sub- mitted an adequate statement in terms of the University Regula- tion of Dec. 13, 1960, within the prescribed time, he shall report this to SGC and with, the consent of, the Committee on Membership in Student Organizations shall provide all relevant documents and correspondence." Groups which did not submit the required additional material would be subject to disciplinary action by the Council. Any such proceed- ing would be conducted in execu- tive session, with the stipulation that a summary be reported pub- licly by the chairman. All Submitted All social fraternities and soror- ities have submitted statements, although nine professional groups had not submitted the material by the deadline yesterday. The Executive Committee of the Council will act as a fact finding board to investigate the problems of these groups in submitting statements and recommend a course of action to SGC. House Rejects T -1 " U 1 1 City Businessmen Favor Fund By KATHRYN VOGT and JOHN McREYNOLDS Ann Arbor businessmen heavily favor an increase in the state appropriations to the University in the future. Many believe that business with- in Ann Arbor will face a setback from competition with the newly- constructed shopping centers at the outskirts of the city. These are two of the results of a recent survey by The Daily of 49 city merchants in the campus and Main Street shopping areas. Even though some complained that "the University leaches off is too high, while the rest had no definite opinions on the sub- ject. As would be expected, the campus area businessmen were slightly more favorable to a pro- posed increase. Many expressed the idea that tuition should also be raised, since wages and salaries are rising. Only half of the campus area merchants expected that a signi- ficant increase in appropriations would have any effect on their business (unanimous reason: in- creased enrollment), and a third stated that the size of the Uni- versity funds would have no effect whatsoever on trade.
