Harris of the Law School which clarifies Council authority to implement its anti-discrimination regulation. After making four specific changes requested by Council, Prof. Harris, who appeared before SGC, will ask for Regental approval of his proposal at the March 22 Regents' meeting. Council specifically asked- for a provision which would give the body a veto over the membership WILLIAM WORTHY .. the American press Worthy-Sees r . Suppression By ROBERT SELWA Controversial journalist William Worthy yesterday described "the news that the American people do not get" about South Korea, South Vietnam, Cuba and Mississippi. Worthy was the first man in- dicted under the passport permis- sion provision of the McCarran- Walter Act of 1952. The State Department took away his pass- port after he went to China and Hungary. Worthy went to Cuba without a passport and was in- dicted after he returned to the United States. Facing a three month prison sentence, he is ap- pealing his case. Worthy said that only part of the story is being reported: Unreported Facts 1) About Cuba-While many Cubans are leaving Cuba, many living in the United States are 1going back to Cuba, but this is seldom reported. 2) About South Vietnam-The, rebels against "the dictatorial" Diem government now control two-thirds of the country, accord- ing to Worthy. He compared Unit- ed States support of the "feudal- ists" with the French colonial war in Indochina. The French even- tually lost, and this will be the destiny of the United States in Vietnam because the tide of war already has turned against the American side, Worthy said. 3) About South Korea-This country, with its "corrupt govern- ment," remains a "mudhole" de- spite American aid, Worthy said. "North Korea is by contrast an economic showcase-but none of this is reported." 4) About Mississippi-Negroes there are living in terror, accord- ing to Worthy, but this matter does not make the mass media. Lauds European Press The European press often re- ports what the American press misses or ignores, Worthy added. He noted that the American press has a way of describing rebels against a regime that the United States opposes as "Free- dom Fighters" but rebels against a regime that the United States supports as "terrorists" or "guer- rilas." Worthy expressed regret that President John F. Kennedy finds himself politically bound to do things as President that are con- trary to the spirit of some of his speeches as Senator. committee's selection of its general *counsel, and also asked that Har- ris make clear Council's sole authority to make mnembership rules. Enforcement Problem Members also questioned the possibility of effective enforce- ment of the Harris plan, noting that penalties less than with- drawal of recognition might be challenged by violating groups. Council, thus, asked Harris co in- clude a clause which asks for ad- ministrative implementation of the decrees of the membership judge. SGC asked for a clarification of the Harris definition of stu- dent organizations, with some members indicating concern that student organizations might de- clare themselves "unrecognized" and thus not be subject to with- drawal sanctions. Generally, the Harris recom- mendations ask for Council ap- point:nent of a membership com- mittee to investigate and prose- cute student organizations found in violation of Council's anti-dis- criminatory regulation. Appoint Judge According to the Harris plan,. Council would also appoint a membership judge to try cases of violation, with withdrawal of rec- ognition the maximum sanction applied by the judge. In other action, Council passed a motion sponsored by its execu- tive committee regretting that SGC's Human Relations Board "took such drastic public action before it consulted with Student Government Council." Two weeks ago HRB members picketed the home of University President Harlan Hatcher and the Administration Bldg. to urge a statement from President Hatcher in support of fair housing legis- lation in Ann Arbor. The vote was 7-6. Last Meeting Six Council members, including SGC President Steven Stockmeyer, '63, Council members Robert Ross, '63, Richard G'Sell, '63BAd., Michael Kass, '65, and Michigan Union President Robert Finke, '63 and Panhellenic Association Pres- ident Ann McMillan, '63, attended their last regular Council meeting last night. Students Conclude Successful Strike MILAN OP) - After 21 days, architectural students yesterday ended a shut-in strike at the Uni- versity of Milan. They announced the faculty had bowed to their demands for harder classwork, stiffer exams, lectures by success- ful practicing architects and a say in arranging their college curriculum. Budget Cut MayHurt U.S. Power WASHINGTON (P) - President John F. Kennedy said yesterday any substantial cuts in his budget would make America second best in space or military might or would curtail programs "essential to a better life for our people." In a challenge to Republicans in Congress who have called for slashes ranging from $5 billion' to $15 billion without spelling out how to do it, Kennedy told his news conference "I think we have been generalized enough." "I think we made a hard budget," the President declared. "You may be able to cut some of it. But I think that I want to know where they are going to cut it and whose life is going to be adversely affected by those cuts" Kennedy struck particularly at a statement by House GOP Ilad- er Charles A Halleck of Indiana that perhaps a $3-billion saving in -defense outlays could be achieved by whacking $1 billion off spending plans of each of the services. "It doesn't seem to me that we ought to be cutting our defenses at this time," the President said, without mentioning Halleck. The President noted that his budget advisers already had re- duced the money requests by the three armed services by $13 bil- lion and said "there are many hard decisions made in reaching the figure we reached." Halleck, without giving details, suggested last week that a cut "upwards of $10 billion" in new appropriations requested t h i s year should reduce spending by close to $5 billion in the fiscal year starting next -July 1. Repub- licans on the House Appropria- tions Committee said Monday they would seek to cut from $10 billion to $15 billion from admin- istration spending plans. Stereotypers Strike Papers, * * * * * * Beadle Gives Senate Bills For U, Operations, Outlay Outlay Fund To Follow Romney Plan May Alter Scheme For Children's Unit By PHILIP SUTIN Capital outlay funds for the University will probably follow the requests of Gov. George Rom- ney, although planning money for a children's hospital may be sub- stituted for similar dental school or architecture college building funds, Rep. Arnell Engstrom (R- Traverse City), chairman of the Joint Legislative Committee on Capital Outlay, said yesterday. The University is scheduled to receive $750,000 to complete the remodeling of the heating plant, $772,000 to complete the Institute of Science and Technology Bldg., $2.3 million to continue construc- tion of a music school building, $500,000 to continue University Hospital renovation and $500,000 to start a $2.565 million fluids engineering building. In addition, Romney's "quick action" capital outlay request for $155 million in planning funds in the state calls for $100.000 to plan a new dental school building and $80,000 for a new architec- ture college structure here. The University has requested $1.3 million for planning the $7.9 million children's hospital. It also has sought $400,000 for preparing plans for a second medical science building. This request appears to have gone unheeded as Engstrom and his House Ways and Means Committee toured the Medical Center Monday night and yester- day. A bill incorporating Romney's $29 million capital outlay scheme was introduced in the Senate yes- terday by Sen. Frank D. Beadle (R-St. Clair). The Senate Ap- propriations Committee will nom- inally consider it first, but the joint committee, composed of four members of the Ways and Means and four from the Appropriations Committee, will decide this year's building package, Engstrom said. Cor.luding its tour of the Medical Center, Engstrom's com- mittee met with University Presi- dent Harlan Hatcher and other administrators in a four-hour session yesterday morning. President Hatcher outlined the University's capital outlay and operating expenses needs,. essen- tially restating his testimony last month before the Senate Approp- riations Committee, Executive Vice-President Marvin L. Niehuss noted. Engstrom indicated he recog- nized the University's appropria- tions needs, especially for re- search. Booklet for Freshmen Explains 'U' Housing By RONALD WILTON The University has released a new mimeographed booklet, "Design for Living-A Philosophy of Growth and Development," to explain to incoming freshmen the University's housing philosophy and facilities. Considering the University's housing philosophy Vice-President for Student Affairs James A. Lewis noted that the University "be- lieves in a philosophy of growth. It recognizes that students arrive -.with differing abilities to make JAMES A. LEWIS ... housing booklet * * personal decisions, and that they expand these abilities at individual rates. - "The present system of housing is designed to allow each student to absorb responsibility as he is able, and to give help, counselling and discipline to those who need it." Backgrounds Vary The philosophy goes on to ex- plain that students coming from differing backgrounds bring with them mores and traditions that they test in new relationships while at the University. It sees students as maturing in their abil- ity to accept personal responsi- bility for themselves and others in differing environments and thus "some students will wish to remain in a residence hall or sorority or fraternity; others will find such a close relationship stultifying. "The University therefore pro- vides choices within a variety of housing, so that students may live in different kinds of housing as they progress," Lewis ended. Describe Housing The report goes on to describe the various types of housing of- fered University students includ- ing the new types such as Oxford housing for women and co-educa- tional housing. It also includes miscellaneous information for stu- dents, pertaining to dress, finan- ces, automobile regulations tnd parking. It was prepared during last se- mester and will be mailed to all freshmen admitted for next semes- ter: LSA: Flunk-Out Rate Cited By DAVID MARCUS Three hundred twver.. y-five lit- erary college students flunked out last semester, literary college, ad- ministrative assistant Stanley R. Levy said yesterday. Of these, 160 were simply told not to re-register and '165 were told that they could only register with the approval of the Literary College Administrative Board. The board allowed 111 to re- turn, refused 45 and 11 did not 'appeal. Levy noted that this figure, representing about three per cent of the college's enrollment, is about the same as in past years. About 19.6 per cent of 'the fresh- man class is on academic proba- tion,. Levy said. About half that percentage will eventually be ask- ed to leave. In the case of non-freshman, students receiving grades below 2.0 whose overall averages are above 2.0 are sent a letter of con- cern, Levy said. At the end of the third semes- See LEVY, Page 2 FRANK D. BEADLE .. . introduces measure * Talks Reswme NEW YORK ()-The Stereo- typers Union declared itself on strike last night against four major dailies, adding another roac~hlock to solution of the city's 89-day newspaper shutdown. The stereotypers struck the same four papers - the Times, News, World Telegram and Sun and Journal-American-that were originally struck by the printers, causing the shutdown of all the city's major dailies. The action by Local 1 of the AFL-CIO Stereotypers Union will have little immediate effect, but it could delay the resumption of publication by the dailies, if they reach agreement with t h e printers. Stereotypers' 1 o c a l president James McMahon said he had been informed the publishers had no commitment on issues he thought were settled last December, and his union had no alternative but to strike. He did not identify the issues involved. T h e publishers, meanwhile, continued talks with the printers with some hopeful indications. Mayor Robert Wagner cancel- led a luncheon engagement in his eagerness to keep the negotiations going. WILSON: Leader Wants East German Recognition WASHINGTON (R) - Harold Wilson, new leader of the British Labor Party, suggests that it would be "realistic and reasonable" to extend some form of recognition to the East German Communist regime "however much we may dislike it." Otherwise, Wilson endorsed the official United States and British position that the presence of West- ern troops in Berlin cannot be negotiated away. "I made it plain to deputy Soviet Premier Atiastas Mikoyan that this was the view of the British Labor Party and of the British people as a whole," Wilson said in a radio-television interview broadcast last night. Asked whether he thought the continued presence of Allied troops in Berlin was a non-negotiable item, Wilson replied, "Certainly for the present, yes." Wilson, indirectly, accused the West German government of be- ing more severe in judging others who seek some normalization or relations with the East Germans than they are with themselves. Figures Fit Anticipations Of Officials Education Package To Go to Committee For Appropriations By GERALD STORCH Appropriations bills including $38.2 million in general operating funds and $4.822 million in capi- tal outlay for the University were introduced yesterday in t h e Senate. These amounts were exactly what Gov. George Romney had recommended and, according to Executive Vice-President Marvin L. Niehuss, just about wh ,t Uni- versity. officials had anticipated for the 1963-64 budget. Key legis- lators agree the figures probably won't be increased or cut signifi- cantly in either chamber. The proposed allocations are $6 million and $4.8 million respec- tively less than what the Regents had requested, but are $1.5' mil- lion and $1 million higher than appropriations for the 1962-63 University budget. Education Package Sponsored by Sen. Frank D. Beadle (R-St; Clair), the $115 million higher education package now lies in the Senate Appropria- tions Committee, which he chairs. Beadle expects the bills to be re- ported out to the floor within two weeks. While Romney and legislative moderates recognize the financial problems of state universities, a balanced budget , takes highest priority for Michigan, Sen. Stan- ley G. Thayer (R-Ann Arbor) said last night. Hence, with strong pressures to keep spending down, any increase for the University "would be rob- bing Peter to pay Paul." If any change at all comes about, it mst likely will be added funds for the Institute of Science and Teoh- nology, Thayer said. Budget Alterations If the budget is cut slightly, it would be due to making more money available for parochial school b u s transportation, a shortened work week for state police or hospital treatment of crippled children. Sen. Philip Rahoi (D - Iron Mountain), one of three Demo- crats on the nine-man appropria- tions committee, asserted that "we're not satisfied with any of the appropriations, but we don't have the votes to change any- thing." A proposal to increase the Uni- versity allocation probably won't be decided upon until after the bills are reported out, Rahoi com- mented. The outlook for Beadle's ap- propriations bills is as bright in the House as it is in the Senate, Rep. Gilbert E. Bursley (R-Ann Arbor) reported. He cited the sympathy of many legislators for t h e University's construction needs, and the fact that out-of- state students "no longer are a live issue," as was the case last spring in Lansing. Bursley's Bills On Business Get Approva1 Rep. Gilbert E. Bursley's (R- Ann Arbor) package of four gills designed to encourage business ex- pansion in Michigan were report- ed favorably out of House com- mittees yesterday. W oodward Cites Projects For Space A-Engines By NEAL FRIEDMAN The federal government is spending $123 million this year to- wards the utilization of atomic energy in space, William H. Wood- ward, deputy director of the Office of Nuclear Systems of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, told a joint meeting of the American Nuclear Society and American Rocket Society here last night. This work is being done by NASA and the Atomic Energy Com- mission, with the development of the nuclear reactor being done by the AEC, Woodward said. The current plans call for the construction of an atomic reactor, Kiwi, an engine to be powered by the reactor, and a stage of the reactor to contain the engine, Rift. This whole assembly may eventually form part of the Sat- urn V space vehi L, Woodward said.. r F o rm Presently, the major emphasis is being placed on the develop- ment of the reactor. Several .~ .. Kiwi models have already beer, constructedand tested, but ey have all sustained damage when tested, Woodward explained. Another problem is designing equipment to operate for at least 15 months, the minimum dura- tion of a round trip to Mars, with little or no maintenance. Very few machines can run this long, Woodward noted. ARCHITECTURE LECTURE: Breuer Cites Relationship Between .Mat By KAREN MARGOLIS "Only with material does the abstract plan become a tangible building," architect Marcel L. Breuer said last night. Speaking on "Matter and In- trinsic Form," he traced the uses of materials from the stone age of Egyptian Pyramids to the present concrete age. Breuer noted that in general, architecture today is concerned with the creation of usable space with little mass. Cohesion is pro- vided by wood, steel and concrete.
