Angolans Revolt
U.S. Message Gave Early Warning
Of Possible Rebellion in Colony
WASHINGTON (IP)-A high United States official said yesterday
thousands have been killed in a revolt in Angola in the past two weeks
and that the United States had warned Portugal of an upheaval in its
African colony.
The United States official, who did not allow use of his name or
direct quotation, said the American warning was in a tactful message
to Portugal prior to the recent United Nations General Assembly vote
in which the United States joined in recommending steps for inde-
pendence of Angola.
The official said the United States note pointed out to Portugal
in friendly terms that while Portugal, a United States North Atlantic

Loyalty Oath
Kenneth McEldowney, '62, will
ask Student Government Council
tonight to forward a National Stu-
dent Association resolution abol-
ishing loyalty oaths and disclaimer
affidavits to President John F.
Kennedy and to certain congress-
men as an active endorsement of
the resolution.
The measure urges deletion of a
section of the National Defense
Education Act of 1958 which re-
quires that students and faculty
members applying for federal aid
must sign disclaimer affidavits.
Demands Repeal
It also demands repeal of state
and local laws requiring loyalty
oaths and affidavits 'of students
and faculty seeking employment
at institutions of higher learning.
McEldowney's motion stipulates
that copies of the NSA resolution
and SGC's endorsement be sent to
all Michigan representatives and
senators, the House Committee on
Education and Labor, University
President Harlan Hatcher, the
NSA and President Kennedy be-
" fore Congress votes on revision of
the NDEA bill within "the coming
month.
To Discuss Corps
SGC will gQ into committee-of-
the-whole session to "discuss the
Peace Corps and possible Council
action in this area" with Alan and
Judith Guskin, Grads., leaders of
the Peace Corps movement on this
campus, and to discuss restructure
of the Council.
Executive Vice - President Per
Hanson, '62, will present a motion
"demanding that the president of
SGC moderate a pro-con debate"
concerning distortion of the film
"Operation Abolition." The .Coun-
cil last week approved a program
including a showing of the film,

expect to hold on to Angola and

The United States message told
Portugal that an explosion was
due, this official said, and trouble
did occur. He said more people
have died in Angola in the past
fortnight than in Cuba and Laos
combined.
Indonesians
Weant Visit
WASHINGTON (P)-Indonesian
diplomatic sources said yesterday
President and Mrs. John F. Ken-
nedy have accepted an invitation
from President Sukarno to visit
Indonesia.
However, the date of the offi-
cial visit has been left open.
The invitation-but not the ac-
ceptance-was mentioned public-
ly by Sukarno in a farewell talk
before boarding his chartered jet
airliner for Mexico City.
Vice-President Lyndon B. John-
son who represented Kennedy at
the departure ceremonies said
that as of this moment there are
no definite plans for his own
visit to the Far East.
Kennedy and Sukarno issued a
joint statement yesterday after
their two days of meetings. Sig-
nificantly, the communique made
no mention of the dispute between
Indonesia and the Netherlands
over Dutch-held West New Gui-
nea.
Instead, the communique said
that both leaders "strongly and
unreservedly" support the goal of
a neutral and independent Laos
and that both recognize that the
newly independent nations of Asia
and Africa "must be alert to any
attempts to subvert their cherish-
ed freedom by means of imperial-
ism in all its manifestations."

LANSING -- Michigan State
University trustees will not go
along with a proposed increase in
student fees, MSU President John
A. Hannah told the House Ways
and Means Committee here yes-
terday.
University representatives will
go before the committee tomor-
row to add their plea for added
funds to MSU's.
(The Regents decided at their
meeting last week that they would
not consider raising tuition at
the University next year, but
Wayne State University's Board
of Governors decided to take no
stand on the issue of a tuition
hike at WSU.)
To Appear
WSU representatives will ap-
pear before the committee today.
Committee deliberations must
be over Friday, as this is the last
day that bills may be reported out
of committees to the floor of the
House.
Hannah told the committee that
at least five of the trustees said
they would resist the fee increases
suggested by the Senate earlier as
a source of additional income for
the institutions.
Suggest Raise
The Senate appropriations com-
mittee suggested raising fees $20
a year for instate students and
$150 a year for out-of-state stu-
dents.
Hannah quoted trustees as say-
ing they would not raise fees
again since they were increased
last year.
"That means you will cut your-
self out of about $1 million for
operating expenses," warned Rep.
Arnell Engstrom (R - Traverse
City), committee chairman.
Request Trimmed
Michigan State asked for $37.5
million for operating expenses in
the next fiscal year. Swainson
trimmed it to $31.5 million and
the Senate cut it to $29.6 mil-j
lion with the fee increase recom-
mendation.
(Other state institutions includ-
ing the University suffered sim-
ilar cuts in their requests.)
Hannah predicted MSU enroll-i
ments would jump from 22,5001
this year to 25,300 in the fall.
"We are now as selective in ad-
missions as we dare be," he said.I
"Now we are turning down some
students we know could make the
grade in college. Our standards are1
getting higher although our tra-
dition has been that we wouldt
never turn down a qualified in-j
state student."

INDEPENDENCE:
Algerian Student
Sees Peace. Hope
By PETER STEINBERGER
The defeat of the insurrectionist
French generals means that the
Algerian independence will come
sooner, a student from Algeria
said yesterday.
Noureddin Ait-Laoussine, a stu-
dent in the English Language In-
stitute, said that the failure of
the army rebellion showed that
the majority of the. French people
supported independence for Al-
geria.
"If they started the revolutioni,
it was because they thought all
the French would be with them,''
he said. "Their failure proves that
the French are behind de Gaulle
and want an independent Algeria.

A resolution to invite a member of the House Un-American Ac-

The Senate Committee refused to bring the proposal to the floor

Applicants,
To 'U' Drop
The University is attracting
fewer freshman applicants but
they are more qualified ones, as-
sistant director of admissions By-
ron Groesbeck said yesterday.
Although the total number of
applications submitted this year
for -entrance in the literary col-
lege is below the figure for last
year, the percentage of qualified
applicants is five to 10 per cent
higher.
Groesbeck attributed the change
in figures to better counseling in
high schools and an "image of a
quality and competitive univer-
sity" created by many popular
magazines.
Seniors Warned
"Secondary schools, aware of our
high standards, are warning un-
qualified seniors not to waste their
time or hopes in applying to the
University," Groesbeck said.
Discussing the role of magazines
in popularizing the University,
Groesbeck said "They pictureius
as a high level academic institu-
tion where students really con -
centrate on studies. Thus the less
ambitious 'intellectuals' turn to
schools where the learning process
is a little more relaxed."
Groesbeck said that the Uni-
versity has tentatively closed off
admissions to literary college
freshmen. About 2,500 Michigan
and out-of-state students have
been accepted with an expectation
that 2,100 will actually enroll.
Little change in freshmen enroll-
ment is contemplated.
Waiting List
Since March 1, when admissions
to the literary college were closed
off, the University has set up a
"waiting list" for qualified appli-
cants. If higher than usual attri-
tion rate affects the 2,500 accepted
students, those on the waiting list
may be admitted, Groesbeck said.
" he failure of the revolt is a
big step toward independence," he
said. "The greatest opposition to
independence comes from the
paratroops and the foreign legion
-for them the war is a matter of
prestige.
Now, he predicted, de Gaulle
will withdraw the paratroops from
the African territory.
National Liberation Front
"In any event," he added, "the
National Liberation Front (FLN)
will fight until independence."
Ait-Laoussine predicted that the
failure of the revolt would cause
the French colonials to feel weak-
er. "They'll have to understand,"
he said, "that negotiation with
the FLN is the only way left for
them."
Surprising Speed
He admitted that though he was
sure of the eventual defeat of the
insurrectionist army units, the
speed of the defeat had surprised
him.
"If they had really wanted to
invade France, as they said they
did, they would have done so on
the first day. They were sur-
rounded by the alerted armies of
Morrocco and Tunisia, which were
ready to defend the Algerian mos-
lems, as well as themselves, from
attack by the army.
"De Gaulle can now demonstrat
his good intentions by resuming
negotiations with the, Algerian
(rebel). provisional government.
The French armies must be with-
drawn before free elections can
be held. Now that the insurrec-
tion has been defeated, de Gaulle
will be more ready to do this."
Army Loyal
Ait-Laoussine noted that because
so few of the 700,000-800,000 man
French army in Algeria had joined
with Generals Salan and Challe,
there was added hope that the
army would no longer be an ob-
stacle to peace settlements.
He also called for recognition
of the Algerian rebel armies as.
official and legal entities as a
necessary step toward deciding
the territory's future.
"The French army will with-
draw between the ceasefire and
the referendum," he said, "and
after that the elections can be
free. Still, there is no doubt of
the Algerians wish for independ-
ence."

PARIS (P)--The generals' revolt

The French government con-

no official word on Salan's suicide.
The office of President Charles

had put himself at the disposition
of the French government.

By THOMAS HUNTER
Former Student Government
Council president John Feldkamp,
'61, recently labeled as "mislead-

YoungcRepublicans convention de-

In their major platform state-

that NSA represents only one-
third of America's college stu-

He said, "The resolution stated
that a great deal of legislation is
passed by the executive board
without consent of the body," that
was taking liberal stands most of
the time, he added.

night.
Israel submitted a strong protest
to the Syrian-Israel armistice com-

developed when three Israeli fish-

the direction of Massaduyah vil-
lage, in Syrian territory.
An Israeli patrol boat reached
the scene soon afterward, also was
shot at and returned the fire, the
