Board Accepts IQC Meeting On Quad Ills Approval for an Inter-Quad- rangle Council sponsored confer- ence on residence hall -problems came yesterday from the Resi- dence Halls Board of Governors. IQC President Thomas Moch, '62, brought up the proposal for a one-day meeting of students, faculty and administrators to the xpressed its desire to participate in such a residence hall opinion poll. The proposal for the survey grew out- of the board's discussion yes- terday of the opinion poll con- ducted in East Quadrangle last spring by Harold Scheub, former resident adviser of Strauss House. Criticism, Praise Scheub's 181-page report, con- taining criticism' and praise of the University residence halls by 40 students, met with much criti- cisml by the board. Members ques- tinned its methodology, validity and objectivity. Prof. Robert Crane of the his- tory department attacked the na- ture of the report's questions and asked for a new, more validstudy. "Any social scientist could tear apart the questions in five min- utes." Prof. Crane said he was "non- plussed by the fact that the Uni- versity, which has the most com- petent Survey Research Center in the country and a first rate psy- chology department, should be floundering around not knowing what its people think." To Prove. He called for a survey devised and administrated by SRC and the psychology department to prove that the University is "serious" in its desire to perfect the quad- rangles. Lewis explained that residence hall system was originally to be explored by the Newcomb study and that preliminary work had al- ready begun. Peter Ostafin, Lewis's assist- ant; said he and assistant dean of men in charge of residence halls, John Hale, had met with Prof. "Newcomb and; outlined parts of the study. Concern with Students Both Lewis and Dean of Men Walter B. Rea emphasized the University's concern with students in the residence halls. "We are all committed to the best housing system possible," Lewis said. "It1 is a complex problem and. hard- ly a day goes by that I don't worry about it." Rea underscored Lewis' re- marks. He stressed the two men's "bull sessions" with 'quadrangle residents last fall when they visit- ed each of the residence hall houses. Seven University faculty mem- bers were among 250 American professors signing a petition call- ing for the- abolition of the House Committee on Un-American Ac- tivities released Sunday by the American Civil Liberties Union. The petition says .that the com- mittee -hae "repeatedly under- mined the freedoms essential for national well-being," and that "to perpetuate this committee is to perpetuate a threat to our liber- ties. Universityhsigners were Profes- sors Kenneth Boulding and Wil- liam Haber of the economics de- partment, Austin Warren of the English department, Alfred Con- ard and Spencer Kimball of the Law School, William Frankena of the philosophy department and Wesley H. Maurer, chairman of the journalism department. Signers' Attitudes The attitudes of the signers to- ward the effect the petition was trying to reach varied somewhat, although they agreed on the main point-the abolition of HUAC. Prof. Maurer, a member of the national board of the ACLU, said that he had signed it with the idea that it was aimed at achiev- ing a directly political effect. However, Prof. Boulding said that, in his opinion, the petition would affect any changes it might through informing and educating public opinion, which would then have visible political effects. Other Groups Prof. Boulding also said that although the present petition was signed by college professors, other responsible groups should circulate similar petitions. Particularly mentioning the ac- tivities of the committee within the academic community, the peti- tion says: "The House committee has been unrelenting in its haras- sing of teachers. It has again and again subpoenaed them." City,'Council Passes' Bond For New Hall City Council last night approved bonding by at New York firm for Ann Arbor's new $2.8 million city hall, and began condemnation pro- ceedings with owners of property on the hall's proposed site who have not agreed with the city's price for their land. Councilwoman Grace Flannery (R) of the first ward, which con- tains the area in which the neigh- borhood rehabilitation committee is working, commended its work on housing in the last year. The group's recommendations will be discussed at the Council's working committee next Monday night.

Pick Eight Assembly Chooses Officers By DENISE WACKER for Council TNine Polls ~i) Assembly Dormitory Council yes- terday elected Sally Jo Sawyer, '62, president and Marylou Sel- don, '62, first vice-president. The former president was Myra Goines, '61, and the former vice- president was Miss Sawyer. "The main function of the presi- dent, besides chairing ADC and the executive board meetings, is representing the council to other organizations on the University campus,' Miss Sawyer said. She hopes to aid the expansion of the safety program on campus. Assembly hopes to be in charge of the natural disaster portion of this program, since it already has organized fire wardens and a fire drill system in the dormitories. She is also interested in' the ADC education committee which has been investigating possible uses for money which formerly was used to finance a Hungarian student at the University. This money will be used for a record lending department, which would benefit 3,000 students instead of one, she said. "The main consideration out- side of prime duties as vice- president is to coordinate jobs of board members and keep things running smoothly," Miss Seldon said of her position. Petitioning for the offices of second vice-president, secretary and treasurer, as well as all ADC committee chairmen, will be open until Thursday. Interviewing will take place on March 23 and 30. The Executive Board will select new officers and announce them on League Instal- lation Night, April 17. Rusk Requests Standing UN Military Force BERKELEY () - Secretary of State Dean Rusk yesterday pro- posed creating a permanent United Nations military force ready for immediate use in crisis areas like the Congo. Rusk contended that "effective international police forces are needed to support the processes of law" while negotiations continue seeking effective world disarma- ment. Dag Hammarskjold, UN secre- tary-general, experienced difficulty in recruiting troops for the UN Congo force and some national units later were recalled by their home governments. "Experience in the Congo sug- gests that we must turn once more to the possibility of constituting a permanent United Nations force, specifically trained and equipped, held in readiness, for immediate use," Rusk said. He declared United Nations suc- cess in the Congo was important to all the world organization s members, who must look to it for their safety. "The United Nations' must ac- complish its task in the Congo both because of the Congo and because it must ready itself for other, as yet unidentified, crises in the years ahead. Effective interna- tional action may be the difference between war and peace," he said. "In such situations time is of the essence and a ready response is critical." The issue of disarmament, Rusk said, "needs fresh and imaginative review by all concerned." z 7 r1' 1 I --Daily-Jerome Starr NEW ASSEMBLY LEADERS-Sally Jo Sawyer (left) and Mary- lou Seldon yesterday were elected president and first vice- president of Assembly. HOT RIVALRY: 'M' Minnesota lers Not To Play Next Year By DAVE ANDREWS The Michigan-Minnesota hockey rivalry, always hot and at times during the past season, sizzling, will get a chance to cool. off next year. Michigan Athletic Director H. O. (Fritz) Crisler explained, "Rather than to risk some explosion as a result of the charged atmosphere in which the games are played it was mutually decided to suspend competition for a year." 'I Established For Voting Five Incumbents Bid for Reelection In Field of Twelve By PAT GOLDEN Several thousand students a expected to go to the polls todi and tomorrow to select eight Sti dent Government Council men bers from a field of 12 candidate Contending for five full yep terms and three semester tert are John Curry, '63, Mark Ha '63, Brian Glick, '62, Kenneth M Eldowney, '62, Nancy Nassett, '6 James Yost, '62, John Martin, I and William Gleason, '63.

Voters mtu present their. student fee receip (green IBM card) in order to ca ballots. Elections director David, Ca bon, '62, predicts an election tur out of over 4,000, but added th good weather could xaise the t tal considerably. Major Issue A major issue of the campai, has been how much time SC should spend on. "off-campu questions. The candidates' pos tions range from "SGC has ove stepped its bounds" to "natior and international affairs ought be the concern of students .. SGC has a responsibility to for such opinions." Several problems of stude rights and academic freedom ha also cropped up: the use of not academic evaluations and admi istrative communication with pa ents; speaker policy; and the su mission of membership lists student organizations. Full Year Terms The five full year terms at sta in this election are regular Con cil seats presently held by SC President John Feldkamp, '6 Hanson, Rosenbaum, .Seasonwe and Shah. One one-half ye term is the correction of a mi take in elections made last sprin The other two half-year pos tions are the unexpired terms Lynn Bartlett, '63, and Denn Shafer, '63, both of whom resig: ed recently for academic reason SAWYER, SELDON: I At Minneapolis, Minnesota Ath- letic Director Ike Armstrong ex- pressed a slightly different view, arguing that because "There is no compulsory scheduling in the WCHA, Minnesota acceded to the Michigan request," that the series be discontinued. At any rate, the teams will not meet next year. The question of renewing com- petition between the two schools will be taken up next year, Crisler, said. Prof. Marcus Plant of the Law, School, Big Ten faculty represen- tative stated that there were no hard feelings between the two schools and that the representa- tives "had a friendly and frank discussion concerning hockey games between the two universi- ties." Michigan Coach Al Renfrew was unavailable for comment. During the season the two teams See WOLVERINES Page 7 Bad Paneling Causes Fire' In LawQuad The William W. Cook Room on the ninth floor of the Legal Re- search Bldg. was severely dam- aged by a fire last night, caused by a radiator overheating deter- iorating hand-carved wood panel- ing. Firemen arrived at 11:30 p.m. but were unable to enter the lock- ed building as students inside worked on unaware of the fire, while students massed outside and cheered. An ornate chandelier, many bookcases and rare books, curios, a plush rug, a desk, a bust of Cook . . . these were some of the items which were scorched and coated with soot. RAPS ATTITUDE OF FEAR: SBromage Supports Con-Con By HARVEY MOLOTCH Those who are obsessed with a feeling of "danger" when they think 'of a constitutional conven- tion are "turning their backs on democracy," Prof. Arthur W.I Bromage of the political science department told a local Citizens for Michigan' audience last night. Such an attitude expresses a lack of faith in the present gener- ation to create a constitution as good as the one of 1909, Prof. Bromage said. The opposition sees con-con as "a kind of Pandora's box that when opened will over- whelm us." But this is an insult to the voter as the people will have an oppor- tunity to reject the new consti- tution if they deem it unsatisfac- tory, he added. Sees GOP Control Prof. Bromage predicted that if the electorate votes in favor of con-con, delegates will probably be elected on a partisan ticket and Republicans will control the con- through New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Southern Michigan and end- ing with Chicago. "I visualize the possibility of a loose federation, forming a great metropolitan gov- ernment." But, so that Michigan urban areas could participate in such a federation, or even to form one on a smaller scale within the state's borders, there is a possi- bility that the state's constitution, with its restrictions and inelas- ticity, will have to be changed. Another Concern Another concern of localities, which a future convention should examine, are the ambiguous pow- ers of taxation with which the old constitution provides cities and townships with "home rule," Prof. Bromage said. The present legislative statute allows localities to levy "excise" taxes, but this hazy terminology has never been clarified by the legislature or the courts. Thus, a "pyramid ofproperty taxes~".has developed with no di- IN SGC CONTEST: Candidates Explain Positions (EDITOR'S NOTE--This is the second article in a series which rounds up the principal views of Student Government Council candi- dates, as expressed in their cam- paign speeches to various open houses.)

Speaker Ban In place of the Communist speaker ban, he would require a speaker for democracy to counter each Communist speaker so that the experience will be one of en- lightenment-rather than of propa- ganda. On the question of membership selection, William Gleason, '63, says SGC should get at the prob- lem of attitude. If a local chapter is working with the national, it clarified a point in his platfc in the Daily stating that he si ports genuine student action w "non-violent action as one in series of methods, bu not ae sole method." Substitution of rect action for non-violent tually expresses This meaning. Nancy Nasset, '63, stresses e4 cational reforms.
