They labeled the, practice "unethical" and "unscrupulous." Dean James Robertson of the literary school promised a full investigation. The courses involved are Philosophy 63, Philosophy 67, and some sections of Sociology 1 and Zoology 1. Notes taken in these courses are distributed, ostensibly free of charge, to students who subscribe to and pay for a similar service in courses where permission has -been obtained. Prof. Irving Cantrall of the sociology department said that he learned of the situation a couple of weeks ago and, with Prof. Senate Unit, Opens Talks On Taxation LANSING (M)-The state Sen- ate taxation committee held the first of a series of public hear- ings last night on several pro- posed tax programs, but only four witnesses appeared to testify. The small turnout caused one senator to observe it might be a sign that people wanted no new ' taxes, in any form. The committee chairman, Sen. Clyde H. Geerlings (R-Holland) told newsmen he has concluded that voters don't want a state- wide income tax such as the three per cent levy proposed by Gov. John .B. Swainson. He said a solution to fiscal prob- lems lies with local governments. Geerlings, who has proposed his own program, including a local payroll tax, was echoed by Sen. Carleton H. Morris (R-Kalama- zoo) who led the fight against the income tax two years ago. "The income tax is, a dead is- sue," Morris said. "Even if it would result in saving Swainson from defeat in the next election, I will oppose an income tax. "Any governor-Republican or Democrat-who ran for reelection after an income tax was passed during his regime would lose the election." Geerlings is proposing a one per cent local. payroll tax, to be authorized by a vote of the peo- ple. He also would allow local gov- ernments to continue the - state's nuisance taxes, which are due to expire June 30, to impose a local tax on services and adopt other specific taxes. Claim Gar A~ 9 'Not Funny'- A proposed issue of Gargoyle, the campus humor- magazine which several students are trying to re-establish, was called "not humorous" by the Board in Con- Strol of Student Publications yes- terday. Two student groups, headed by Lawrence Jacobs, '64A&D, and Mel Moore,' 164, combined to sub- mit a dummy Issue to the Gar- goyle committee of the board. These groups had separately vol- unteered to form a new staff for the magazine, which was discon- tinued, last year because of a lack of qualified workers. Their sample copy consisted of a "guide .to freshmen," relating nsome of the events on campus dur- ing the past two "years. The fea- tures included accounts of panty raids and SGC elections, comn- ments on the dean of women, Feif- fer-type cartoons and a satire on Oscar Wilde. However, the board committee was "unimpressed by the art work and subject matter. The humor did ,not have 'campus-wide ap- peal," Prof.. Karl F. Zeisler, a committee member, explained. Although the committee did not consider the sample of sufficient quality to warrant, renewing Gar- goyle,, Zeisler said that "this does n rot jeopardize, any group from trying -again:" Union Names New. Council Selection of the Michigan Charles Powers of the same de- partment, brought it to Robert- son's attention. Previously Disapproved "We had previously disapprov- ed of the note-taking service when originally approached," he indicated. While the specific re- quest had been for permission to sell these notes, Prof. Cantrall said he would have objected even if the profit angle had not been involv- ed. He regards the present ar- rangement, in which students get the notes in a package deal with others for which they must pay, as a "subterfuge to allow (the service) to sell our notes without permission." He called the prac- tice unethical. Prof. Carl Cohen of the philoso- phy department said he was in- formed by Robertson of the prac- tice a week ago. He had no prior knowledge that notes were being taken, for profit or otherwise. Explains Issues "Two issues are involved," Prof. Cohen said. "First, is it appropri- . ate for me to give permission? I believe that a careful appraisal will shop note-taking ' is not a good practice in any University course." This matter was decided last semester by Dean Roger Heyns of the literary school, who ruled that note-taking was permissible if first cleared with the head of a department and the individual in- structor. "Second, and more important," Prof. Cohen said, "is the fact that the rules were deliberately and unscrupulously violated and my personal wishes defied. As far as; I am concerned, this practice isj wholly improper-any persons who take notes in my classes are4 cheats and thieves and are pun-, ishable as such." Objects to Advertisement He also objected to an adver- tisement whichappeared in Sun- day's Daily, listing his course as one in which notes were available. "This implied that I approved their taking notes and associates me with enterprise I vigorously oppose" Robertson said that organizers of the service "have no business taking the notes, whether they are paid for or not," if they do not have permission. "This is com- pletely out of keeping with their arrangement with the University." He said he did not know what action would be taken, but would confer with Heyns and the own-f ers of the service. Melvin Skolnik, '62, who owns3 the University Study Service, said that two separate companies werec involved in the note-taking. His own company serves thoseclasses in which permission has beenr granted, paying its note-takersc and charging its subscribers.. ec- ture, Resume Company, whichs operates in classes where no per- mission has been obtained, neith- er charges its subscribers nor paysJ its employees. Share Facilities Both companies use the same facilities and have the same ad- ministrative staff. Skolnik would not identify the owner of Lecture Resume Company. Skolnik emphasized that thev free notes were not a sales in- ducement or a gimmick. The con- nection with University Studyo Service provides the latter withF cheap advertising. Congolese Ease Hold On Matadi LEOPOLDVILLEW)-The Leo- poldville government yesterday relaxed its hold on the United Nations' vital supply port of Ma- tadi, Premier Joseph Ileo announced that the Congolese army, which drove UN forces out of Matadi two weeks ago, now will allow UN civilians back into the Congo Riv- er port to supervise supply move- ments. But, he emphasized, no UN troops would be allowed to re- turn. m "There is no need for troops here," he told newsmen. "The area is calm and civilian technicians can cooperate with the Congolese workers in unloading the sup- plies." Loss Poses Problem Loss of Matadi, the Congo's chief port of entry, posed, seri- ous supply problems for the UN command. Negotiations to get UN troops back into the port have been fruitless. Ileo emphasized his government considers outdated a UN Security Council resolution of Feb. 21 au- thorizing UN troops to use force to prevent civil war in the Congo. "Civil war and civil disorder are no longer dangers," he said. "There is no longer any need for international corrective measures and no way they could now be car- ried out. "We will revolt against any en- forcement of the UN resolution." The premier accused Ghana's President Kwame Nkrumah of trying "to use the Congo situation to further his own ambitions to be the leader of African unity." - Plan Criticized Nkrumah considers the leftist Stanleyville regime of Antoine Gi- zenga the Congo's true govern- ment and has criticized the plan of the Congo's anti-Communist, political leaders to form a con- federation of semi-autonomous states. "Certain African and Asian na- tions have tried to sabotage the, work we have done to reach a solution to our political difficul- ties," Ileo said, "particularly1 Nkrumah, who more than anyI other African should be helping, us." The Belgian radio last night re- ported three clashes between Con- golese and UN troops. It said Ma-1 layan troops fought with a band of Baluba tribesmen who at- tempted to raid a railroad near Kasongo in Kivu Province. In another clash Ethiopian UN troops were forced to with- draw from Nyunzu on the Albert- ville-Kabalo railway in North Ka- tanga where four Balubas were killed. The radio report added that Nigerian UN troops were1 driven from Kabalo in North Ka-I tanga in a third. clash. Asks Repeal Of Auto Tax' MONROE () - Repeal of the federal excise tax on automobilesC as an aid to education was urgeds yesterday by Hugh H. Holloway ofI Sault Ste. Marie, Republican can-. didate for State Superintendent of Public Instruction.C Iolloway, campaigning in Mon-c roe County, described this as "the1 quickest way not only to stimulatea our economy but to open up taxe sources for education." e' Casbon Says Total, Should Reach 4,000 Low Turnout Called Effect of Weather By RALPH KAPLAN Approximately 2,200 students voted the first day of all-campus elections, David Casbon, '63, elec. tions chairman, said yesterday. Casbon predicted that today's voting would raise the total to more than 4,000 ballots. "Bad weather held down the vote some- what yesterday. It was a higher total than we expected in view of the weather," he said. Two thousands students voted the first day of elections last semester. Polling places are the Michigan League, University Museum Bldg., the Diag, the Fishbowl, the lobby of Angell Hall, the Undergraduate Library, the Engineering Arch, the Michigan Union and the Busi- ness Administration Bldg. The polls will close at 5 p.m. today. Tabulation of ballots will begin at 7 p.m. tonight in the Michigan Union ballroom and is open to the public. Running for the eight open seats on Student Government Council are John Curry, '63E; William Gleason, '63; Brian Glick, '62; Mark Hall, '63; Per Hanson, '62; John Martin, '62; Kenneth Mc- Eldowney, '62; Nancy Nasset, '63; Arthur Rosenbaum, '62; Roger Seasonwein, '61; M. A. Hyder Shah, Grad., and James Yost, '62. There are nine candidates for six open posts on the Union Board of Directors and two each for the four open senior class officer posts in the literary college. Three students are running for the presidency of the engineering college. Other posts are uncon- tested. There are four running for the three open posts on the Board in Control of Student Publications and two each are trying for the senior positions in the business administration school. The other open posts are uncon- tested. Paper Sees Cuba Revolt NEW YORK (P)-The New York Herald Tribune said last night a provisional Cuban government aimed at overthrowing the regime of Prime Minister Fidel Castro this year will be set up here this week. The two main anti-Castro or- ganizations ,in the United States have reached a compromise agree- ment to name Jose Miro Cardona as president of the provisional government, the paper said. Miro Cardona broke with the Castro government in 1959 after serving 49 days as the first pre- mier of the Cuban rebel govern- ment. The Herald Tribune said Miro Cardona will serve with a cabinet of 13 ministers and a council of 10 prominent Cubans who will assume legislative powers pending establishment of an elected gov- ernment. * West On UN: Stevenson Addresses Assembly UNITED NATIONS (P) - Adlai E. Stevenson yesterday accused the Soviet Union of reviving the cold war in the United Nations in an attempt to wreck peace efforts in the Congo and get Dag Ham- marskjold fired as secretary- general.. The United States chief .delegate made the charge in replying to an hour-long speech by Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gro- myko in the General Assembly that was largely a restatement of previous Soviet Congo policy. Sums Up Position In his first speech before the assembly, Stevenson summed up the United States position by mak- ing three points. "The Soviet Union demands the resignation of the secretary- general. We will oppose this de- mand with all our strength," he said. "Secondly, the Soviet Union de- mands that the United Nations withdraw from the Congo within one month. The United States is totally opposed to this effort to replace constructive efforts of the world at large to achieve peace and reconciliation with anarcny. "In the third place, the Congo and the United Nations desperately need a period of quiet and of con- structive cooperation during which we can help the Congolese to help themselves." Assembly Hurried He declared that the assembly had been plunged by the Soviet Union into a destructive attack before a report of its 11-nation Asian-African conciliation com- mission could be considered. The commission's lengthy report published yesterday recommended a broad program for restoring peace to the Congo, including a truce among rival political leaders and aiding parliament to draw up a new constitution. Claims Congo Should Solve Own Problems WASHINGTON (P)-An African diplomat told President John F.. Kennedy yesterday that solution of troubles in the strife-torn Con- go "should be left to the Congolese themselves." This view was expressed and re- ported to newsmen by Emmanuel Damongo Dadet, the new ambas- sador of the Republic of the Congo, a former French colony.1 Dadet went on to say the UnitedI Nations can intervene to maintain order and security, but an ulti-I mate solution of the trouble must be worked out by the people of the Congo Republic.7 Campus Election Draws 2,20 *' but has never carried the demon- strations through. Quit Party In opposition to this policy, a portion of the original member- ship has quit the party to form a new group calling itself the Liberal Student Party, which has applied for and received recognition and plans to endorse candidates in the April elections for the. Student- Faculty-Council. Gregg Nigosian, spokesman for the Liberals, said that the party name was essentially wrong - "We're really more conservative than the Student Party," He said that his group was not oriented toward such radical ac-. tions as demonstrating, against the administration, and that they were not primarily concerned with the issue of the political clubs, as the Student Party tended to be. Follows Suspension The formation of the Student Party followed the suspension of WSU's three political clubs' uni- versity recognitions by their gov- erning board. The clubs have protested the move as unjust and biased against one, the Independent Socialists, who would be unable to regain; their recognition under the re- gulations enforced by the board.i The Student-Faculty Council passed a resolution urging regrant- ing of the recognitions and dents have circulated petitions protesting the suspensions.l WASHINGTON (o)--Admitting he does not have all the answers about the future of the Peace Corps, R. Sargent Shriver won unanimous approval from a Senate committee yesterday for his nomi- nation as corps director. Members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee spent three hours questioning Shriver before approving him. The corps would send trained American overseas to work in un- derdeveloped c ou n tries. Shriver assured the committee he was fol- lowing a go-slow approach in the early stages of the program. The corps would cost only $3 million to $10 million during the first year, he estimated. Sen. Bourke Hickenlooper (R- Iowa), who questioned Shriver closely for more than an hour, told the nominee that peace corps plans were so indefinite it raised a question "whether we are buying' a pig in a poke." He said Congress still was in the dark about "the organization and scope of the agency and what it will do." The corps already had received 17,300 letters from prospective ap- plicants, Shriver said. GENEVA (') - Reopening talks looking toward the banning of all nuclear tests, the United States and Britain yesterday offered a series of concessions to the Rus- sians. The United States went beyond the proposal made last year by the administration of former Pres- ident Dwight D. Eisenhower and- offered to let the Russians inspect United States atomic devices to be used either for seismic research or for peaceful purposes. At the suggestion of the United States the 99-nation United Na- tions political committee decided yesterday to shelve temporarily any discussion .of disarmament pending the private East-West negotiations. To all these offers, Soviet dele- gate Semyon K. Tsarapkin replied that he would first have to get his government's reaction, but warned that chances .of producing a treaty are in danger If France under- takes any further tests. Concede on Commission A proposal for parity on the control commission seemed the West's major concession. Four- Western, four Communist and three neutral nations would have seats. This was considered safer than the previous plan of a 3-3-1 ration under which the lone neu- tral would be subject to pressure from both sides. But even this offer was dulled somewhat by a Soviet move to turn the top executive setup of the enforcement organization into a committee-a move reminiscent of Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev's attempt to split up the United Na- tions job of secretary-general. Tsarapkin proposed an adminis- trative board of one Westerner, one Communist and one neutral. Arthur H. Dean, new head of the United States delegation, In- troduced Western proposals for breaking the two-year deadlock, Proposes Changes With the backing of Britain's David Ormsby-Gore, Dean pro- posed changes in administrative detail but no surrender on basic principles. The aim, Dean told the confer- ence, is to conclude "a sound and fair . treaty as soon as possible which would offer good prospects for a permanent ban of nuclear weapons tests throughout the world under a system of adequate international controls."' There was no attempt to secure a series of concessions from the Russians but rather to get them to accept the idea of enforcement by tackling the problem on a broad front. 'Near Agreement' "I believe that today the West- ern proposals have. brought 'us very near agreement on a treaty- a fair, reasonable, effective and adequately safeguarded treaty that would give the world the prospect of seeing no more nuclear weapons tests of any kind" he added. Another major Western proposal was that to allow Soviet techni- cians to examine the insides of any atomic devices the United States government intended to fire for seismis research or for peace- ful purposes. If Russia undertook an indepen- dent research program of this type the United States and Britain would insist on being allowed to examine Soviet atomic devices. Prnnn. Fnhuxlined Governor Refuses To Ban Speech at Berkeley Campus SACRAMENTO ()-Gov. Edmund G. Brown yesterday flatly refused demands that he bar a controversial speaker from the Uni- versity of California campus. "I couldn't if I wanted to," Brown told spokesmen for a group of 300 persons from the San Francisco Bay ax ea, who demanded that Frank Wilkinson, Los Angeles resident, be prevented from talking to a student group on the Berkeley campus today. "Let the people say '"anything they want to," he added. ."If they do anything criminal while they're speaking or after they're speaking, then they can be' prosecuted." Brown said he had no power to order the speaker barred, and in any case, would not interferewith university officials, "who are doing a wonderful job. "I don't heieve in nvin £cnor- SUSPENDED IN 1954: Former Professor Visits U' Band i The question of academic free- dom in the college community is inevitably connected with the question of legally "coming of age," Prof. Clement Markert of Johns-Hopkins University saidlast night. Prof. Markert was one of three and went to Johns Hopkins in 1957 with the recommendation of Vice-President and Dean of Fac- ulties Marvin Niehuss. He deliv- ered a lecture here yesterday aft- ernoon.
