DELTA COLLEGE:
Marble Suggests Private Basis
State Surplus for
Year
By 'ANDREW' ORLIN..
At his Thursday meeting with
Gov. George Romney, Delta Col-
lege President Samuel Marble dis-
cussed "an interim proposal con-
cerning Delta as a private institu-
tion," Marble confirmed last night.
Although Delta College does not
need Romney's consent to become
a private school, "I wished to learn
whether this action would preju-
dice Delta before the governor's
'blue-ribbon' Citizens Committee
on Higher Education," Marble
said.

Voter Drive
By The Associated Press
BIRMINGHAM An uneasy
quiet reigned in Birmingham yes-
terday as Negro leaders mapped
plans for a voter-registration drive
on the heels of a truce in the ra-
cial crisis.
Behind the scenes, Negroes said
they were moving from house to
house seeking renewed efforts to-
ward voter registration.
Despite settlement-on the sur-
face-of issues in this city's six-
week racial crisis, more than 500
Alabama highway patrolmen still
patroled streets.
New Violence
Violence flared last night as two
persons were injured when a bomb
exploded at a Negro motel used
as headquarters by integration
leaders.
At least two other explosions
occurred in a Negro residential
area. There were no reports of
other injuries.
Police said the home of the Rev.
A.D. King, brother of the inte-
gration leader, was heavily dam-
aged.
The second explosion occurred
at a Negro apartment house.

Meanwhile, city officials and
Gov. George Wallace scoffed at a

ment on proposals to end the con-
flict, which has seen more than
2000 Negroes arrested and fire

?next fall will be in the literary
college, instead of all 60, as the
committee had originally planned.
Although Hinsdale's staff "next
year will include only graduate
students, they need not all be in
the literary college.
Cooperative Courses
In addition, "we hope to have
cooperative courses - a m a t h
course for both engineering stu-
dents and literary college people,
for instance. The committee is
trying to set this up and is con-
sulting with the engineering col-
lege," Hinsdale president Gerald
L. Solensky, '65A&D, said.
"We feel this compromise will.
be beneficial to literary college
students and still retain diversifi-
cation in our house. It's a step
forward in cooperation between
students and the administration,"
Solensky said. He added that Hin§-
dale is "very grateful" to the ad-
ministration and the members of
the ad hoc committee for "their
cooperation and understanding."
As for Hinsdale's fear that the
project would destroy its "engi-
neering tradition," Solensky ex-
plained that "we now feel it will
retain our engineering tradition
and build up a literary college
tradition. By integrating them we
can build complete loyalty- to the
house.".
Hale Agrees
Assistant director of housing
John M. Hale agreed that the com-
proiise would. aid. the project.
"We were not going ahead unless
we found Hinsdale agreeable to it.
If they are, this compromise may
strengthen the project because the
opportunity to 'have contact with
students in other schools is very
valuable."
Hale added that the proposed
cooperative courses "are in keep-
ing with the total Pilot Project
plan." le saw possibilities of stu-
debts in different schools living
in the same house and all partici-
pating in a similar project.
Reached After Meeting
The compromise was reached
after a meeting between Hinsdale
men and the project officials
Wednesday night. As a' result of
the meeting representatives from
Hinsdale m e t Thursday with
John H. Taylor, resident director
of East Quadrangle, and decided
on the compromise. Both the ad
hoc committee -and the Hinsdale
House Council approved the com-
promise Thursday night.y
Before the compromise w a s
reached, project officials had
agreed to try to arrange priority
in other living units for discon-
tented Hinsdale men who wished
to make other arrangements for
next year.
Since the compromise, however,
no Hinsdale men have tried to
change their living arrangements,
Solensky said.
tion is a private charter granted
by the Legislature, Marble said.
Get State Moving
"We are following Romney's
views to get Michigan moving by
setting up a local educational in-
stitution financed by private
funds," he commented.
However, plans are still tenta-
tive and await further information
from Romney and the "blue-rib-
bon" committee.
Although Delta College would
be privately supported if it be-
came a private local institution,
"we would not wish to make it
ineligible for public aid by pre-
judicing ourselves before the blue-
ribbon committee," Marble ex-
plained.
Former Bills Failed
Two plans to make Delta Col-
lege a --four-year degree-granting
institution failed this year. One
bill, establishing a state-supported
senior college in the Delta area
was defeated in the Legislature.
The other proposal was to es-
tablish a University branch at
Delta. However, after RomneyI
noted a desire to await the "blue
ribbon" committee's report on
higher education, the bill was'
withdrawn in the Legislature.
The new proposal does not envi-
sion any type of participation by
,the University.
Marble foresees some type of
report from the "blue ribbon"
committee by next fall. However,
he refused to say whether or not
Delta College would seek a charter
before that time.

Loyalty Act
BOISE-Opposition to the new
Idaho loyalty oath, signed into
law Friday, is mounting on the
Idaho State University and Uni-
versity of Idaho campuses, The
New York Times reported yester-
day.
The regulation specifically re-
quires every employe of the col-
leges to take the oath, containing
promises to uphold the federal
and state constitutions, pledges
not to join any organization ad-
vocating overthrow of the govern-
ment by force, and statements of
previous memberships.
Prof. Albert E. Taylor of Idaho
State predicted that the school
would have difficulty in recruiting
teachers because of the rule.
William E. Drevlow, acting gov-
ernor, announced that he was
"very happy" to sign it.
Two faculty members at Idaho
have said they will resign at the
end of the school year because of
the oath: At Idaho State the Amer-
ican Association of University Pro-
fessors has retained counsel to
attack the law. Prof. George Heck-
ler, president of the local chapter,
called the statute "thought con-
trol."
The provisions of the'law become
effective next week but the state
has not decided whether to re-
quire the filing of oaths until July
1.
USNSA structure and the National
Student Congress held each sum-
mer.
These proposals can go into
effect only if' they are adopted
today by the plenary body which
consists of all official delegates
to the regional assembly.
Student Rights Motion
Toward furthering s t u d e n t
rights, a motion listing "student
rights and responsibilities" was
accepted with amendments by one
of the subcommittees.
It holds the student responsible
for devoting himself to increasing
his knowledge and to supporting
student government democratical-
ly. He also should assume the re-
sponsibility to respect the rights
of faculty and administration, the
motion states.
Education a Right
Defining education as a right-
not a privilege-the, motion recog-
nizes "the right of every indi-
vidual to be educated to the extent
of his intellectual potential."
The motion also enumerates 13
other rights, including the right
to clear statements of a school's,
regulations, the student's right "to
hear speakers of. his choice" and
"to pursue change within his in-
stitution."
Turning to internal reform, the
subcommittee considered a reso-
lution submitted by Student Gov-
ernment Council P r e s i d e n t

Howard Abrams, '63.
Congress Reform
Calling for reforms of the na-
tional congress, the resolution
criticizescte bulk of the legisla-
tive agenda as too long, the power
exercised at the congress by its
top leaders and the general re-
moval of legislation from the
member schools' authority.
The resolution asserts that all
legislation should originate either
with the student governments or
official delegates of the member
schools.
It also would vest all legislative
authority exclusively in the con-
gress itself. Previously, the USNSA
national executive committee had
been given some initiative and
legislative power.
Civil rights motions and declar-
ations also passed through the
subcommittee.

Syria, Iraq

DAMASCUS OP) - Controlling
revolutionary commands yester-
day overhauled the governments of
Syria and Iraq-two members of
Egyptian President Gamal Abdel
Nasser's planned Arab federation.
The two nations agreed to unite
with Nasser's Egypt after succes-
sive revolutions in February and
March. But a week-old Syrian po-
litical crisis threatened to upset
the union.
A Baghdad announcement of the
Iraqi shakeup gave no hint that
the threat had deepened in that
country. It said Iraq was going
forward for Arab unity.
Resignation
After a week of pro-Nasser riot-
ing in Syria, the National Revo-
lutionary Council accepted, the
resignation of Prime Minister Sa-
lah Bitar,. a Ba'ath Socialist who
took over in a bloodless coup
March 8. The council then asked
Sami Jundi to replace him and at-
tempt to form a government. He
has been a proponent of Arab uni-
ty.
The Syrian switch appeared
aimed at solving the nation's poli-
tical crisis but whether it would
do so remained a question.
In Baghdad, the cabinet of Ah-
med Hassan Bakr resigned but
President Abdel Salam Aref asked
Bakr to form a new government,
an Iraqi broadcast said. T
Mission Accomplished
The broadcast quoted Bakr as
saying the cabinet, formed after
the fall of dictator Abdul Karim
Kassem on Feb. 8, had felt its
missibn was accoiplished with the
April 17 signing of the Cairo agree-
ment for a federation of. Egypt,
Syria and Iraq.
In his resignation letter, Bakr
said "Iraq is approaching an era
ushering in the immediate rise of
the United Arab Republic as well
as the new stage of preparatory
constructive work for the estab-
lishment of the tripartite federa-
tion. We feel this requires a new
basis and a new government that
can adapt itself to this new stage."
Optical Astronomy
By MICHAEL JULIAR
(First of a Series)
With the fantastic growth of radio astronomy since World
War II, its observations of heavenly bodies formerly unknown
to optical telescopes and its penetrations of some of the
mysteries posed by the universe, optical astronomy has been
pushed into the background-at least in the public's eye.
And this branch of the oldest of the sciences may also
be getting the poor man's share of the funds it feels it needs
to make progress.
Prof. Lawrence H. Aller, now at the University of California
at Los Angeles, who left the University's astronomy department
last spring after being here since 1948, raised this point in the
January issue oScee, th
wveekly journal of the American ~
Association for the Advance- ~
ment of Science, '"'.
'Dust of Obsolescence' i S
"The opening of a new win- .
dow in the electromagnetic
spectrum (radio astronomy)
does not mean that we should
close one of the old ones (op-
tical astronomy), or allow it to
sblacken up with the dut ofl
obsolescence," he says. Amnongf
his main points are the need
for more ground-based optical
telescopes-bigger, better and
up-to-date. .
At the Kitt Peak Nationala
Observatory in Arizona, there
are telescopes available or un-
der construction which staff RADIO TELESCOPE
and students of many schools .rich man's share
can use up to 60 per cent of
the time. "It could just about handle the optical stellar needs
of two or possibly three good graduate schools in astronomy,"
Prof. Aller says.
Prof. Orren C. Mohler, chairman of the astronomy depart-
ment says that "newness of equipment isn't important to us;
it has to be appropriate. This Isn't the same thing as the
need for big light-gathering equipment which Prof. Aller says
is needed. He is talking about experiments that interest him
and that are important to him.
Men, Equipment, Time
"There are thousands of problems in astronomy that need
to be solved and'each of them needs its own equipment. You
need the proper instrument for the problem, the right men,
equipment and time,"..Prof. Mohler points out.
S In his article, Prof. Aller points out that "the need for
capital investment In optical astronomy cannot be'met at the
local-university level; every college is pushed to the limits
of its resources to provide buildings and staff to handle ever-
growing numbers of students.
"Substantial support should be given to an agency such
as the National Science Foundation so that worthwhile projects
requiring capital investments can be supported on their own
merits."t .a

Romney Declares
Increasing Revenues
Still May Fall Short
By RAYMOND HOLTON
Gov. George Romney announced
yesterday that Michigan will have
an estimated $40.5 million general
fund surplus at the close of the
1962-63 fiscal year June 30.
,This is $7.5 million greater than
the $33 million surplus Romney
predicted in his budget message
to the Legislature Jan. 30.
However, Romney said the reve-
nue from tax collections is in-
creasing, but not as rapidly as the
revenue required to meet the de-
mands of a growing population.
Still Need Session
This revised surplus increase
does not decrease the need for a
special session of the Legislature
next fall to overhaul Michigan's
tax structure.
Sen. Raymond' D. Dzendzel (D-
Detroit) speculated that Romney
"may be trying to evade fiscal-
reform legislation by placing in
the eyes of Michigan a rosy fi-
nancial picture."
Dzendzel added that Democrats
will vote against any state in-
come tax without "complete fis-
cal reform" next fall.
Complete fiscal reform must in-
clude the removal of food and
medicine from the sales tax and
the elimination of many nuisance
taxes, Dzendzel added.
Fiscal Reform Problems
Sen. Stanley G. Thayer (R-Ann
Arbor) said yesterday Romney's
expected fiscal reform next fall
will run into difficulties because
of the surplus.
"With two good back-to-back
auto years, it will be difficult to
get a state income tax through the
Legislature because we're not on
a lean year," Thayer said.
However, Michigan 'cannot al-,
ways depend onhhigh automobile
sales and must adopt a much
healthier tax structure, he added.
News of the surplus reached
Romney in a memorandum from
state controller Glenn Allen. Allen
said the increase is a result of
higher tax collections.
Romney warned that even if the
entire surplus were applied to the
state deficit it would still leave the
general fund with a deficit of $45.1
million on June 30.
Romney also indicated he was
opposed to establishment of a
state lottery to raise state funds.
"I don't think a sound economy
is built on. gambling which in-
cludes lotteries," he said.
Rep. Edwin A. Fitzpatrick (D-
Detroit) had said he would ask
Romney to back a renewal of his
perennial efforts to set up such
a lottery.
As a result of the New Hamp-
shire legislature's approval of a
state sweepstakes in ' financing
their government, lottery advo-
cates in the Legislature here have
found a new impetus in their ar-
gument.
Immediately after the New
Hampshire decision, Sen. John T.
Bowman (D-Roseville) announced
he would ask the Legislature to
make a study of lottery proposals.

By RICHARD KELLER SIMON
The serious modern composer
faces a difficult time today be-
cause he is "basically not wanted
in the American social scheme,"
according to Louis Gesensway,
composer and a first violinist for
the Philadelphia Orchestra.
The only place where there is
need for musical composition is in
advertising, the movies and mu-
sicals, and even here this com-
mercial side is overcrowded and,
controlled by cliques, he said.
Kedaly Student
Gesensway, who studied under
plight of the serious composer is
further compounded by the large
group of musicians who think they
are composers but are not. To
some degree ego is important,
since compositions are a mani-
festation of the self, he added.
"In the serious field where one
can be creative the composer is
reduced to being a beggar. If
Beethoven and Mozart were living
today they would be forced to beg,
conductors to look at their scores,"'
he said.
Most, conductors either reject'
scores immediately, wait and then,
imagine they are the 'greats'I
whose music they are conducting,"1
Gesensway asserted.
"When the honestly lazy con-1
ductors do pick something new,I
they want all the glory . them-l
selves."
In defense of conductors, he:
added that not all fit this descrip-1
tion, and when they reject worth-r
less music they are acting quite1
