LXXI, No. 146 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, APRIL 28, 1961 FIVE CENTS EIGHT PA( Carder Presents Poicy Statement President Explains MUG Policies; Says Juke Box Only 'Experimental' By DAVID MARCUS Inadequate communications on a large campus have led to "mis- interpretations" of Michigan Union policies, Union President Paul Carder, '62, said yesterday. In a statement issued to clarify Union policies on the Grill, Carder said that the new juke box is only an "experimental" move on the part of the Special Committee and is not "irrevocable." "The Union is and has always been straight-forward in its dis- semination of information regarding its actions," he said. Consultation Useful "Changes in Union policy can be effected by consultation and mutual discussion." Citing possible objections to the juke box, Carder tcommented that the music is only A s Officials Testif y In Lansing Unlikely Extra Funds Seem Minnesota Investigates Phi Delits By MICHAEL OLINICK Large Group Packs MUG For TGIT' By JEFFREY HEUER The Michigan Union's first "TGIT" was held yesterday before a large and, at times, enthusiastic audience. Student Government Council President Richard Nohl, '62, em- ceed the event that will continue to be at the Union Grill on follow- ng Thursdays. The Beachcombers, a folk-singing group, Jerry Bilik, '61, and the Road Runners, a rock and roll band, provide entertain- ment for the occasion. The Beachcombers sang a num- ber of songs, among them "Michael Row Your Boat Ashore," "This Land Is Your Land," and "Hard Travelin'." Jerry Bilik, who does all the arranging for the Univer- sity Band, did humorous variations on the theme "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star." The real. crowd pleaser of the afternoon, however, was the Road Runners. The band played several current hits including "Runaway" as well as some "old standard" rock and roll numbers. Requests from the audience were freely shouted out. At one point several couples began dancing to the music. Regarding the dancing, Union President Paul Carder, '62, com-, mented, "The Union has no offi- cial policy toward dancing in the MUG, and since the installation: of the juke box we have been con- sidering clearing a space for dancing." audible in the north section of the grill and noted the possibility of physically partioning the three rooms of the MUG ifthere is suffi- cient demand. The . statement also cited * the work of the committee in terms of its overall purpose. "The Special Committee of the Union Board of Directors was set up to investigate the use and con- dition of all Union facilities. Also, it was empowered to experiment with possible solutions to any problems that might arise from the investigation." Two Courses The Committee is engaged in two courses of action: A survey of students, alumni, See complete text of statement, page 2 faculty and administration to de- termine attitudes toward the Union. Experimental projects, like the juke box, to evaluate their effects and guide the committee in future action.- Carder commented that "the committee is investigating means by which total Union facilities can. receive maximum usage by the greatest number of people." Ban on Games The recent ban on chess, check- ers and card playing in the MUG will be helpful in this purpose by freeing more tables for additional patrons, he said. Carder cited an increase in the borrowing of chess sets from the desk as evidence of approval of the new game facilities in the Union lobby. Noting student reaction to the changes in the MUG, he said "Dis- order is ineffective in accomplish- ing the aims of interested per- sons." The University of Minnesota has begun investigating charges of re- ligious bias against Phi Delta Theta fraternity, a Minnesota Daily night editor reported last night. The investigation, undertaken by the All-University Judiciary Coun- cil, may lead to withdrawal of rec- ognition for the Minnesota chapter of Phi Delt. The council will make its final recommendations for action to the Senate Committeehon Student Af- fairs, which has the power to dis- establish the local unit. SCSA re- ferred the Phi Delt case to the judiciary body last Friday. First Case. This is the first case which the SCSA has asked the AUJC to han- dle. Both groups are composed of students, faculty members and ad- ministrators with a one vote ma- jority held by the students. The investigation - which will probably center around a possible constitutional "religious test" - was prompted by Phi Delt action at Lake Forest College. The national fraternity sus- pended the Lake Forest Phi Delts last month after they pledged and initiated a Jewish student in spite of a warning against such action from the national. Anti-Bias Policy The Minnesota school has a pol- icy against bias clauses in the con- stitutions of recognized student organizations, but has set no dead- line for the removal of such clauses. Ben Kaufman, a night editor on the Minnesota Daily, said that the SCSA had been hearing reports from fraternities since 1949 and has determined that five of them have specific policies which allow racial or religious discrimination in membership selection. The SCSA requires these fra- ternities to file biannual reports on progress made toward removing these clauses and, if it feels that sufficient enough action has not been taken by the local, it may withdraw its campus recognition. SCSA has not yet used this power, Kaufman said. Phi Delt was one of the fraterni- ties originally found to have a bias clause, but was removed from the list after intial investigations sev- eral years ago. Engstrom Foresees Only Minor Changes Ways, Means Committee Indicates Support of Senate-Approved Budget By PHILIP SHERMAN Special to The Daily LANSING-Chances the University will get much more state money this year than last have dimmed appreciably. House Ways and Means Committee chairman Arnell Eng- strom (R-Traverse City) said yesterday that the committee will recommend today a higher education appropriation equal to the Senate-approved figure of $109.2 million, which in- cludes $35.4 million for the University. Minor. adjustments may be made in the totals for each state institution, he said after a committee meeting with -AP Wirephoto REBELS DEPART-A truckload of Foreign Legionnaires leave their Algerian bases after the breakup of their regiment over their part in the anti-de Gaulle revolt. French Create Court for Challe PARIS (P)-France has set up a nine-man court to try the rebel ex-Gen. Maurice Challe for his life and is seeking throughout France to run down supporters of the broken Algiers generals' uprising. Hundreds of arrests have been made in France itself. A parallel search is going on across the Mediterranean in Al- geria for Challe's three general- rank colleagues of the revolt and other leaders for trial presumably in the same court.. Death Penalty All could be put to death upon conviction before firing squads or on the guillotine. The rebellion itself-a shadowy thing in both France and Algeria from the outset last Saturday until the end early Wednesday-died on a diminishing but re-echoing cry of "Algeria is French!" The cry sounded to the end from a Foreign Legion regiment as it was being disbanded outside Al- giers as punishment for joining the rebellion. Legionnaires Leave The Legionnaires - many of them fugitives from their own dis- tant and alien pasts-wept at the Pravda Says U..S. Readying Cuban Attack MOSCOW VP).Pravda charged yesterday that the United States, is preparing for direct interven- tion against Cuba and demanded that it abandon "once and for all actions fraught with a military calamity." In a long article signed "obser- ver," a signature usually reserved for the most authoritative state- ments, the Communist party news- paper said : "What is happening in the United States capital now re- sembles a gathering of vultures- a flock of ex-presidents and vice- presidents have assembled here and are croaking like vultures. "It has been officially announc- ed that President John F. Ken- nedy has had meetings with Dwight D. Eisenhower, Richard M. Nixon and Harry S. Truman." breakup and were cheered by settlers who want the future sealed by force against Algerian rule as envisioned by French President Charles de Gaulle. Details of the trial setup for Challe, the only general of the rebellion who has given himself up, were published yesterday in the official government journal. The tribunal will have three high court judges and a counsellor of state on the civilian side and five generals. There will be no appeal from its verdict. French officials are probing to determine how widespread the conspiracy was both in France and Algeria. Some 400 persons have been picked up since last weekend, in- cluding some 200 in the Paris area. Coffns Sees GOP Pressed Democratic state chairman Jo- seph Collins indicated yesterday that he thinks Republican legis- lators may be forced to support increased appropriations to uni- versities. "The governor has expressed his recognition of the need and his willingness to support the move, Collins said. "The challenge is now up to Republican legislators to come up with the funds." Student Gives Testimony,, Denies Attack on Officer SAN FRANCISCO (WP)-Bespectacled Robert J. Meisenbach denied from the witness stand yesterday that he struck any officer last May in San Francisco's City Hall during hearings there of the House Un- American Activities Committee. The 23-year-Old University of California senior is on trial charged with hitting Patrolman Ralph E. Schumleffel with his own club. Tak- ing the witness stand, Meisenbacht University administrators, but- any adjustment will be on the order of perhaps a few hun- dred thousand dollars and nothing more. No Change Engstrom said that in a week of hearings of higher education and mental health representatives he hadn't heard anything to change his mind on the Senate appropriations figures. House Democrats will attempt to add to the appropriation to get it up to the level proposed by Gov. John B. Swainson, who proposed $37.1 million for the University. But House Republicans agreed in a caucus Wednesday to go along with the Senate's overall balanced budget proposal, which totals just over $463 million. Swainson's pro- posed balanced budget totals $477 million. Nearly Unanimous Speaker Don Pears of Buchan- an said the GOP caucus was "nearly unanimous" on its budget decision. Democratic minority leader Jo- seph J. Kowalski of Detroit said Swainson's revenue estimate of $477 million is correct, and will allow for the added appropriations for higher education and mental health. Engstrom said this estimate is too high because it is based on a predicted business upturn which thus far has not materialized. Lack Votes The Democrats do not have the votes to pass the appropriations boosts, Kowalski admitted, and will have to depend on GOP votes to, win. He didn't know where these votes would come from, un- less the constituents of represen- tatives from areas like Ann Arbor and Kalamazoo-which have uni- versities - "would indicate their desire for the increases.y- At the hearing, University Pres- ident Harlan Hatcher said the University will "be seriously crip- pled" if it has to operate on the Senate's appropriation figure. The University cannot expand as projected to 25,500 unless it gets more money. Growth, he add- ed, would be on upper education- al levels. (If the Senate appro- priation passes the House, the University will only get a $150,000 increase from last year.) Faculty Pay More money is needed for fac- ulty pay raises, he said, and for projects like the Institute of Sci- ence and Technology that attract industry and talent to the state. The Regents last week listed an enrollment cutback as a possible way to save money and maintain University quality if the state doesn't allocate more money, but President Hatcher said no cuts are contemplated. The University delegation, in- cluding Vice-President and Dean of Faculties Marvin L. Niehuss and Vice-President for Business and FinanceWilbur K. Pierpont pointed to the University's high proportion of graduate students as one reason a higher appropria- tion was needed, and the present student fee level as another. Two Fee Raises The University has raised fees twice in the past four years, Presi- dent Hatcher said, and total fees Asks Study Of Housing By WILFRED ROY . Inter-Quadrangle Council last night unanimously passed a mo- tion requesting the Residence Hall Board of Governors "to set up a student - faculty - administration committee to study the feasibility" of establishing co-educational housing in existing facilities on campus. Thomas Moch, '62E, president of the Council, in recalling the co-ed housing in South and West Quad- rangle several years ago, com- mented that the girls' academic averages suffered. But John Hale, Assistant Dean of Men, explained that the girls involved were freshmen and trans- fer students, both of whom exhibit lower academic averages. Morals No Argument Hale added further that moral standards did not slacken at the time of the mixed housing and that any claims that they would "is to me no argumet at all." Also passed was the proposed budget for next year which will raise IQC dues. To obtain the money needed to balance the accounts, Moch sug- gested borrowing the funds from South Quadrangle and paying them back out of next year's IQC dues, but action was deferred to next week to allow South Quad to consider the proposal. Confidential Reports In addition, discussion centered on the confidential "pink slip" reports made out by the residence staff men on the activities, adjust- mnet and personal attitudes of the students living on their floors. A decision was deferred to next week's meeting so that the Coun- cil could talk to interested parties. Also passed was a motion allow- ing the circulation of question- naires in the quadrangles survey- ing opinions and results of English 23 classes. WMU Predicts Deferments Of Admissions Western Michigan University's president has forecast admissions deferments at WMU if next year's budget as approved by the Senate is adopted by the Legislature. "You can not expect quality edu- cation for the price tag which is now on Western Michigan Univer- sity for the education of 9,900 students," James W. Miller ex- plained to the House Ways and Means Committee. "So long as I am at Western," he continued, "I intend that we pursue quality education. There- fore if these appropriations .hold, I see no alternative to massive de- ferrment of admissions." WMU, as all state institutions of higher education, suffered serious budget cuts both from its requests to the governor and from his recommendations to the Legisla- ture. The final House bill on these appropriations will be reorted out. --Daily-Larry vanice UNION TGIT-The Michigan Union held the first of a projected series of "Thank God It's Thursday" gatherings yesterday. SPEAKS TO PUBLISHERS: President Requests Journalists To Report with Self-Restraint NEW YORK (P)-President John F. Kennedy said last night no formally declared war ever posed a greater threat to United States security than the rampant threat of Communism around the world. Calling this a deadly challenge, Kennedy urged the nation's newspapers to re-examine their obligations in the light of the global danger and "to heed the duty of self-restraint" in presenting the news. Kennedy spoke of two requirements "of direct concern both -*the press and the President" in told this story: The first fire hose had been turned onto studentsdemonstrat- ing in the City Hall Rotunda. Mei- senbach was walking down the slippery steps intent on leaving the building. Part way down he stumbled over a billy club. "To keep anyone else from fall- ing on it," he picked it up and threw it 10 or 15 feet to his right. As he continued down the stairs, Schumleffel "jumped on me from behind" and knocked him down. The court will be in recess to- day. Closing arguments will be made Monday. The tall, dark haired student said the next thing he remembered was being taken to a police patrol wagon outside the City Hall. "Did you at any time strike this officer?" asked Defense Attorney Jack Berman. "No," the student replied.
