For Alleged
Tray Theft
By SHARON MJUSkOVITZ
Ann Arbor Police arrested five
residents of East Quardangle early
Thursday morning for the al-
leged theft of 1200 trays from
the quadrangle dining rooms.
The quadrangle business office
valued replacement of the missing
trays at approximately $3000.
The dining rooms had been us-
ing military surplus trays since
the disappearance was discovered
Wednesday morning, and, though
a search of the building failed to
turn up the missing trays, they
were later found in the basement,
directly below the kitchen.
Men Arraigned
James Gilbert, '64E, David Cun-
ningham, '63E, Robert Montgo-
ery, '62, Fred Gelesko, '64E, and
Thomas Groff, '63E, were arraign-
ed before Municipal Judge James
O'Brien Thursday.
Gilbert and Cunningham, who
had been apprehended in the
kitchen, pleaded guilty and were
charged with illegal entry; the
others stood mute but were charg-
ed 'with aiding and abetting.
The men said that they had
only taken the trays as a prank,
that they had never actually in-
tended to keep them.
City police concealed a detectiv
"in the quad kitchen early Tus
day morning, after learning that
another attempt was to be made
to remove the trays. At 3:30 a.n-.
he apprehended two masked men
roaming about the kitchen, ap-
parently attempting to steal more
trays.
Entered with Key
The detective reported that the
two men had entered the kitchen
with a master key they had made.
All five men were released on
bond and will be tried in Muni-
cipal Court next Thursday after-
noon.
Assistant Dean of Men John
Bingley said that they will go
before Joint Judiciary Council af-
ter Thursday's court action.
TGroup :Studies
Exam Period
Extension Plan
The literary college steering
committee is dicussing the possi-
bility of extending the final exam
period to allow some time to study
before exams begin.
A two week exam period would
allow time for a week "reading
period." This would be used to
study and integrate the material
learned during the semester.
As a result there would be only
one week for exams instead of the
present week and a half. However,
the steering committee felt that
students would not mind having a
tighter exam schedule if they had
a week before hand to study.
They also suggested the possi-
bility of a three day "reading per-
iod" and then a staggered exam
schedule. This suggestion calls for
three days of exams and then one
day with no exams. Therefore no
student can have more than three
days of exams in a row, and his
chances of having all his exams
clumped together are reduced.

MOCK COURT-A seminar class on Comparative Criminal Law
held a mock court Thursday demonstrating German criminal
procedure. The defendant lost his case when his wife refused to
alibi for him when, on the stand, she learned the punishment for
perjury.
Clas on CriminalLaw
Acts Out German Cou rt
By CAROLINE DOW
A watch, a wife, and an honest man played the key roles in a
conviction at a mock trial in Hutchins Hall Thursday.
A living example for Prof. B. J. George's seminar in Comparative
Criminal Law, the proceedings followed German court. law, demon-
strating the differences between German and American courts.
Tried for Theft
Two men were tried at the proceeding which concerned a stolen
watch. The robber was convicted on evidence of his fingerprints, an-
other man's story and his wife's refusal, on hearing the penalty
for perjury, to alibi for him.
In West Germany a man is innocent unless proven guilty, but
there are strict rules on the admission of evidence. Hearsay and non-
testimony are admitted.
Choose Lay Judges
Two lay judges chosen in the same method as an American jury
sit with equal power as one professional judge. The three decide both
the guilt and the sentence of the defendants as opposed to the Ameri-
can system where the jury decides the case and the judge giving the
sentence.
Procedure is inquisitorial rather than adversary, mock court
prosecutor Horst Niebler, '64L, said. As the prosecutor is responsible
for presenting favorable as well as incriminating evidence, the judges
ask most of the questions.
In addition there are no histrionics in the court room, he said.
Both the judge and the prosecutor have lifetime appointments and see
no need for dramatics to hold their jobs

By MALINDA BERRY
BERKELEY-A group of stu-
dents from the University of Cali-
fornia called "Students Associated
Against Totalitarianism" has
formed an organization of stu-
dent "conservatives" in the Berke-
ley area.
Awaiting approval by the ad-
ministration as an off-campus or-
ganization, the group's purpose is
"to oppose any expression of to-
talitarian attitudes or propaganda
and particularly the effects of
Communist subversion and influ-
ence."
This would include United States
military intervention in Commu-
nist aggression in all parts of the
world and the use of government
agencies to prevent internal sub-
version.
Charles Fox, one of the mem-
bers, emphasized that the group
is autonomous and not associated
with any other organization. He
also said the group is concerned
only with the issue of totalitarian-
ism and subversion and with no is-
sues peripheral to this topic. "We
are opposed to totalitarianism on
the right as well as on the left,"
he said.
SAAT began its activities Satur-
day by picketing a San Francisco
rally which opposed intervention
in Cuba. The group plans similar
activities in the future.

Bay City School

Students of Delta College in
Bay City set out Thursday to
transform the junior college into
a four-year school which would
serve the Saginaw Valley.
Saginaw Valley and Phoenix,
Ariz. are the only two areas in
the United States with populations
over 100,000 which do not have
four-year colleges.
The students organized into the
Student Association for Education
and nominated an eight-member
council which will work with the
faculty and administration. They
intend to lobby with both politi-
cal parties to obtain state action.

affairs, and civil rights were ap-
proved.
Among the legislation passed
was: A proposal to send a state-
ment to the Bowling Green Stu-
dent Body President, administra-
tion and newspaper, declaring
academic freedom and freedom of
the student press as fundamental
to education in the democratic
society. About a month ago the
students at Bowling Green dem-
onstrated protesting the lack of
freedom in their newspaper.
A bill supporting federal aid to
education and rejecting any re-
quirement for a loyalty oath or
disclaimer affidavit.
A resolution stating that the
Ohio-Indiana region of NSA feels
that the loyalty oath and dis-
claimer affidavit required of Peace
Corps recruits is detrimental to
the intended apolitical character
of the corps.
A bill challenging the authenti-
city of the movie "Operation Abo-
lition" and the right of a Con-
gressional committee to propa-
gandize.

COLOMBUS - Student Senate
at Ohio State University has voted
to cancel plans to demonstrate
against compulsory ROTC on
Corps Day after Senate president
Phil Moots stated that President
Fawcett will propose a program of
voluntary ROTC unless the De-
fense Department feels compul-
sory ROTC is necessary for na-
tional security.
MINNEAPOLIS - Snowballs
and shouted interruptions from
the crowd punctuated a protest
rallyagainst the invasion in Cu-
ba by the students at the Univer-
sity of Minnesota.
An estimated 1,200 persons at-
tended the rally, sponsored by the
Fair Play for Cuba Committee.
Members of FPCC carried signs
reading "Stop U.S. War on Cuba"
and 'B-26 made in USA."
John Chelstrom, the first speak-
er, was interrupted periodically by
jeers and shouts of disagreement
from the crowd. When he called
Castro's revolution in Cuba "one
of the most popular revolutions
in history," he was showered by
snowballs.
Sporadic flurries of snowballs
continued throughout the rally,
occasionally hittingtheir targets.
CANBERRA, Australia - Prime
Minister Robert G. Menzies said
recently that the Australian gov-
ernment plans to spend $450,000
a year on a new program to edu-
cate students from the newly
emerging nations, the New York
Times reports.
To launch the program, he ex-

BERKELEY-An unauthorized
rally was sponsored by the Bay
Area Students Committee to op-
pose United States Intervention in
Cuba. The rally was held in Duin-
ella Plaza.
According to the Dean of Stu-
dents, "The Dean of Students of-
fice must be notified of use of
Dwinella Plaza at least one week
in advance in order that no con-
flicting meetings will be held and
so that preparations for an orderly
meeting can be made." This was
not done with the rally.
At the rally United States "mis-
takes" in Cuban policy were cited.
Maurice Zeitlin, a member of the
committee, maintained that the
United States is striving to pro-
tect its economic and political in-
terests without regard for the in-
terests of the Cuban people.

Panhel Sets
Interviewing
Panhellenic Association will be
holding interviews for persons in-
terested in serving on the election
study committee Monday, Tues-
day and Wednesday of next week,
it was announced at Thursday's
Panhel meeting.
Susan Stillerman, '62, president
of Panhel, suggested that the an-'
nual candy sale is perhaps not
fulfilling its role as a unifying
agent of Panhel.
It was brought up that girls in
some of the houses objected to be-
ing asked to sell candy in a neigh-
borhood that was as needy as the
neighborhood being supported by
the project.
The candy sale in past years has]
almost completely supported the]
Ann Arbor Veteran Park in the
city.
It was suggested that a possible
alternative to the candy sale,
which would be more effective as
a unifying agent, would be to have
all the houses in Panhel contribute
volunteer girls to work with eith-
er the children in the local hospi-
tals, the home for the aged, or
the Ypsilanti State Hospital.
Since so many girls would be
involved, this project would de-
mand only about 2 or 3 Saturdays
a year per girl. Six or eight girls
would go per week, two girls from
three or four different houses.
In this manner girls from the
various individual sorority houses
will have an opportunity to work
together on tasks that would be
more beneficial to the community.
This plan will be acted upon
by the Executive Council after it
has been brought up in each chap-
ter meeting.

Commissioner of Education Ster-
ling M. McMurrin announced
Thursday.
The funds will be used to sup-
port 47 Language and Area Cen-
ters during the 1961-62 academic
year.
The purpose of these centers is
to strengthen the higher education
facilities for the study of lan-
guages. They will instruct college
students to teach languages and
related studies. The area centers
will also provide specialized train-
ing for individuals who plan to en-
ter government service, industry,
or business where the knowledge
of such languages is required.
Eleven of the centers will in-
struct the study of languages and
areas of East Asia. Ten will, be'
concerned with Slavic languages!
and studies, eight on those of the
Near and Middle East, six on South'
Asia, four on Sub-Saharan Africa,
three on Southeast Asia, two on
Portuguese, two on East Asian and
Slavic languages and studies, and
one on the Uralic-Altaic lan-
guages.
Nineteen of the 47 centers,
which were authorized federal
funds under the NDEA act, re-
ceived initial support during the
1959-60 academic year. Twenty-
seven new centers were added to
the program.
The Russian Language and
Area Center at Vanderbilt Univer-
sity, Nashville, will receive sup-
port for the first time.
The institutions, which are re-
quired to contribute at least half
of the , cost of the centers, plan
to put up an additional $1 mil-
lion above the required matching
funds.
