After an informal preliminary meeting in Lansing yesterday afternoon with members of the capital outlay subcommittee, Marvin { L. Niehuss, vice-president and dean of faculties, indicated last night that the legislature would meet the appropriations for the cyclotron and Physics-Astronomy Building. Plan Appropriations "The subcommittee plans to give appropriations for only those buildings authorized last year. This includes the cyclotron, presently Nev To Ruling To Men Permit Women Call on in Apartments SGCPicks 3 As- Delegates For -Group In an Executive Committee ses- sion last night Student Govern- ment Council appointed Judith Guskin, Grad, acting Daily Edi- tor John Roberts, '81 and acting Daily .Magazine Editor Faith Weinstein, '61, as student repre- sentatives to the steering com- mittee for the proposed Confer- ence on the University. The motion by Philip Power, Spec, stipulates that these names be contained in a letter calling on the administration and the Senate to appoint their own rep- resentatives (three from each group) to the steering committee so that meetings can begin "at the earliest opportunity." TheCouncil passed a motion by Roger Seasonwein, '61, that SGC sponsor a showing of the film "Operation Abolition." It will be followed by a pro-con debate by two qualified individuals on the question: Does the film present a distorted picture of the student demonstrations in San Francisco against the .House Committee on Un-American Activities? The Council's position on the debate was made clear in a mo- tion adopted last month in which SaC criticized the film's editing as being purposely distorted. An extended period for audi- ence participants to make com- ments concerning the film or ask questions of the debaters or each other will follow the showing. The program will be administered by Seasonwein, Roberts and James Yost, '62. SGC also approved an amended motion presented by Kenneth Mc- Eldowney, '62, to set aside time during the next regular meeting to discuss the "peace corps and possible Council action in this area." It provided that Allan and Judy Guskin, both graduates, spokes- men for ACWR, be invited to take part and that "ample discussion time be provided for students off the council. MIT Betters Space Flight 'Yardsticks' WASHINGTON (P)-New radar sleuthing of the planet Venus has yielded a new and apparently much more accurate "astronomi- cal yardstick," upon which suc- cessful space flight to the various planets could depend. This was reported yesterday by a trio of Massachusetts Institute of Technology scientists who said they've kept an almost constant radar watch on Venus for almost seven weeks.' As a result of this celestial snooping, the MIT scientists said they have come up with a new fig- ure for the "astronomical unit." That is the distance between the Earth and the Sun and is basic to virtually all measurements of astronomical distances and guid- ance of space vehicles. Plan Protest Of Rebel Aid T'he Thtrnit Fair Plav for Cubah sunder construction, and the Phys- ics-Astronomy Building, which will be built where East Hall stood," Niehuss said. Sen. Elmer R.: Porter (R-Bliss- field), chairman of the appropria- tions committee, stressed that no promises were made during the meeting with Niehuss and other University officials. He did indi- cate, however, that appropriations may be made for the University Hospital. The School of Music Building, which was first on the building priority list last year, was not dis- cussed. Niehuss explained that the music building had been author- ized several years ago and there- fore would not come under con- struction. Hatcher Cites Needs Earlier this year University President Harlan Hatcher dis- cussed capital outlay at the Uni- versity and cited three areas of development. "The state must provide suffi- cient funds to meet the legal obli- gations of contracts already let by authorization of the legislature; An "adequate but manageable bond issue should be considered to help solve an accumulated defici- ency of buildings needs; And an "orderly, continuing long-range building program to meet the growing needs of higher education." Niehuss said that neither the bond issue nor long range building plans were discussed at the meet- ing. 'Abolition' Stirs, Battle LANSING (A1)-Battle lines over the controversial film "Operation Abolition" were drawn again yes- terday in the state capitol. The fight, dormant for more than a week, was stirred up when Reps. Frederic J. Marshall (R- Allen) and William Romano (D- Warren), called on the Legislature to invite Congressman Francis E. Walter, Chairman of the House Un-American Activities Commit- tee, to address a joint meeting of the House and Senate next Tues- day. The film, which depicts the riots during the committee's hearings in San Francisco, was released with the Committee's approval. Rep. Joseph J. Kowalski (D- Detroit), Democratic floor leader, blockedefforts by Marshall to sus- pend floor rules to allow the invi- tation to be sent immediately. A vote is scheduled today. Kowalski asked for a delay to permit a similar invitation to a representative of the National Council of Churches which has assailed the film as distorted and inaccurate. He later suggested in- viting Congressman James Roose- velt (D-Calif). "I think there are two sides to this and both should be heard," he said. PROF. HANS MORGENTHAU .. . ultimate issues New Nations TNeed Model By BEATRICE TEODORO The fate of the United States and the world will be decided by the American ability to "provide a model for emerging nations to emulate," Prof. Hans Morgen- thau said in the Challenge key- note address last night. The ultimate issue is which "im- age" that of the United States or the Soviet Union, will impress these nations, the University of Chicago political scientist said in the talk on "Problems of the Unit- ed States in Formulating Foreign Policy toward Developing Na- tions." "What we export is not so much American dollars but the essence of the American social system." Based on 'Folklore' Unfortunately, past foreign pol- icy has been based on the "folk- lore of politics" or the assump- tion that all a backward country needs is foreign capital to ad- vance technology which leads to social stability, a democratic gov- ernment and, finally, peaceful policy. "It is naive to believe that pro- found changes can be simply ex- ported," Morgenthau said. "Many new nations don't want economic development but want spectacular manifestations of American re- sults." Prefer Prestige He explained that these coun- tries prefer "prestige" forms of foreign aid. "They still want steel mills as symbols of equality with industrial nations, even though the mill has been replaced in im- portance by the nuclear reactor and has the same symbolic func- tion as a medieval castle." The United States has tended to overlook the political potential of foreign aid, he said. "We have been too serious, too objective over the economic problems. At 4 p.m. today Challenge will present three seminars on foreign policy in new nations. Theodore Ntoampe will speak on Africa in Rm. 3Y of the Michigan Union. Prof. Zafar Islam, visiting lectur- er, will speak on Pakistan in Rm. 3Z. Prof. Robert Carroll of the sociology department will speak on "Foreign Policy and Social Change" in the Honors Lounge, Undergrad Library. Panel Cites Peace Corps Faults By DENISE WACKER 4t Criticisms of the competency, ability and political awareness of members were leveled at the Peace Corps last night in a panel' discussion between five interna-M tional and two American students.y Terry Davis, '6 BAd, a student" from the United Kingdom, said he could not see the benefit of having young people in the Corps in lieu of older, more experienced staff, because of the immatur- ity of many college students. Moreover, because the Corpsr would be financed, trained and operated by the United States it i' could look like a United States propaganda front rather than a sincere effort to aid underdevel- oped nations. In reply to Davis' statements, Alan Guskin Grad, spokesman for f ACWR, stated that "youth and immaturity is a legitimate criti- cism, but we must have faith in the selections. Not all college peo- ple are immature."

Lewis said yesterday. The new ruling states that all undergraduate women with the exception of first semester fresh- men will now be permitted to visit men's apartments. Lewis, who wil make the final decision on the wording of the regulation, said the only change which may be made is the exclusion of all freshmen. Present regulations do not allow undergraduate women in men's apartments at any time. Formulate Policy A committee of Dean of Women Deborah Bacon, Assistant Dean of Men John Bingley, outgoing Joint Judiciary Chairman Howard Stein, '61, outgoing Women's Judiciary Chairman Judith Gardhouse, '61, and Dorothy Wilson, '61, originally formulated the proposal and sub- mitted it to Lewis, who in turn referred it to the Faculty Subcom- mittee on Discipline. He said the subcommittee had recommended the deletion of al freshmen women because they were not familiar enough with "campus mores and social situa- tions." It was decided, however, that by the second semester most fresh- men women have become acci-' mated enough to the campus to be accorded equal apartment privi- leges with upperclass women, he said. Men Share Responsibility All the committee members agreed that men as well as women should be held responsible for in- fractions of the new regulation. Miss Gardhouse suggested that a special combined committee of Women's and Joint Judic inter- view both the man and the woman involved in a violation of the rul- ing to insure that consistency is maintained in punitive measures. To Consider Change inVisa Requirements The Senate Foreign Relations Committee is thinking of modify- ing the present Immigration Act, James M. Davis, director of the International Center, said yes- terday. The change Would make it easier for foreign scholars to ob-. tain special visas to permit them to work in this country for longer periods of time than they are 'ow allowed. Davis, testifying before the com- mittee recently, urged that the bill "be amended to provide relief to universities who wish to offer a permanent post to a scholar who came on an exchange visitor visa." This would mean adopting the more liberal policy in power un- der the 1924 Immigration Act. The change would aid in hiring quali- fled foreign professors and r e search men. The universities could bring in scholars as non-quota immigrants and keep- them on for longer periods of time than the 1952 Immigration Act allows. After two to three years, the person must reside in another country for two years before being allowed another visa. This pro- vision was adopted to insure that people trained here would return to give aid to their home coun- tries. POPULARIZE FACILITIES: cMunion' To Mark New Unio "committee - approved film report called "Operation Abolition." They declared the night stick attack on Jthe officer "touched off the flame 7YfCof violence." n vrruon (I4. By JEFFREY HEUER The Michigan Union's drive to popularize the use of Union facili- ties 'will be represented from now on by "Munion," a cartoon figure who resembles a crew-cutted "Nebbish." Charles Maiorana, '63E, conceived the name, winning $25 for his efforts, in the Union's "Name Me" contest. Over 200 entries were sub- mitted for the contest which ended March 10. Entries were judged by the Union's senior officers and ties, in the traditional manner, were decided in favor of the earliest postmark. "Munion" was created by a Florida high school student, Drennen Browne, who designs contemporary greeting cards. The cigarette- smoking figure will continue to appear in most Union advertising copy. Jack Berman, defense attorney, drew Schaumleffel's agreement on the time of his struggle with Meis- enbach by producing a series of news photographs. All showed the tall, bespectacled student far in the rear of the crowd of demonstrators in the ro- tunda outside the city hall hearing room. They showed Meisenbach backed against a pillar before the police turned on the hoses, while the water streamed on the crowd, and after the water was turned off. IN ear .passage WASHINGTON M) - Senate leaders pushed President John F. Kennedy's $1.25 minimum wage bill to the brink of passage yester- day and then put off the final shove until today. Supporters of the measure de- feated all attempts to cut down its expanded coverage provisions be- fore the bill was advanced to the stage of a final vote. In a major victory for the Presi- dent, the Senate voted 56-39 against an amendment by Sen. A. S. Mike Monroney (D-Okla), to limit the bill's coverage to firms doing business in two or more. states. Under Kennedy's bill, approxi- mately 4,086,000 workers would be 1
