In announcing the mission for Bundy, a White House spokesman disclosed that Johnson held one high-level meeting yesterday at which the Vietnamese situation was a prime topic, and had scheduled another with the National Security Council for 6:30 last night.

IQC Seeks Limitation On Dormitory Crowdin By ROGER RAPOPORT With fresh memories of tripled-doubles, and doubled singles, Inter-Quadrangle Council members passed two measures last night, designed to ease the housing crisis anticipated again this fall. IQC moved unanimously that all first semester Ann Arbor resi- dent and English Language Institute students not be allowed to move Into quadrangles. In addition they passed a motion requesting that one semester contracts be issued to upperclassmen. IQC also passed a mandate asking the administration not to implement a contemplated plan to purchase smaller desks and beds __ ;for some of the doubled-up gram would also provide the op-' portunity for students and faculty together to chart their curriculum for three weeks . . . something which we're not accustomed to doing around here," Mrs. Sumner declared at the League meeting.. She said that a major share of the $4000 must be pledged be- fore an official arrangement with Lomax can be made. In addition, she is seeking per- sonnel from the faculty depart- ments' and student organizations to help with the planning. League officials expressed concern with this provision, since they are op. posed to burdening their succes. sors with project commitments. Opinion of other student orga- nizations being sought for spon- sors appeared mixed on the idea. Student Government Council will view the scholar-in-residence pro- posal at its Wednesday meeting. A spokesman for Interfraterity Council questioned the financial luxury of such a program for a three-week period. Faculty Interested Several faculty departments are reportedly interested although no financial promises have come from Alter Course Requirements For Art Unit Starting next fall, there will be looser distribution requirements in the art department of the archi- tecture and design college. More hours will be given over to art: electives. This will be enable the department to introduce new courses, such as one in graphic techniques. The number of basic studio course hours has been reduced from 24 to 16. These eight hours have been added to the electives in art, bringing that number up to 18 in most programs. The 16 hours required in the field of concen- tration, and the two-hour course in origins of contemporary art re- mains the same, completing the minimum.52 hours required; The changes have three prin- ciple objectives: to condense the basic program from three to two semesters; to permit a student to begin specialization at an earlier point if he so desires; and to en- courage breadth by increasing elective hours in the studio areas. At present; more than half of the students entering the depart- ment are transfer students, with a year and a half to two years of liberal arts preparation. The fac- ulty feels there is less necessity to provide orientation for them as there is for entering freshmen.

McGEORGE BUNDY Residential College Sets Plan Details By MERLE JACOBS The faculty planning commit- tee for the residential college has submitted specifications for the proposed school's library and its dining facilities, Associate Dean Burton D. Thuma, residential col- lege director, said yesterday. Both the faculty planning com- mittee and the student, advisory group have been discussing the nature of the facilities for the past few months. According to the specifications, the library would be less than one- third the size of the Undergrad- uate Library. The faculty committee has planned for a library of 90,0001 volumes which could seat one- third of the residential college en- rollment. Three rooms for blind students, an audio listening room, four seminar rooms, and 12 group study rooms are included in the li- brary plan. The library will be designed along the lines of the UGLI, Dean Thuma said. The latest faculty committee memorandum suggests that the dining hall should be located in the college center and should fos- ter an atmosphere of intimacy by way of size, decor and art objects. In a third report distributed yes- terday by the faculty committee, tentative suggestions for the arch- itectural planning of the "Social Center" of the college were sub- mitted. The report suggests that a combination drugstore-type book- store and snack bar-coffee shop, as proposed by the student advisory committee for the college, should be on the ground floor for easy access for the students. Dean Thuma added 'that the committee has begun to get back questionnaires sent to the literary college faculty to determine how many faculty members would be interested in teaching in the resi-I dential college. He explained that, although the questionnaires were distributed only to the literary college faculty, members of the staffs of other schools might be willing to teach part-time at the residential college. Dean Thuma asked that any interested facuty members get in touch with him. I place of periodic trips Ambassa- dor Maxwell D. Taylor has been making to Washington about every two months. "In view- of thIe situation," Reedy said, "it is felt preferable that the ambassador stay there, and for Bundy to fly out and con- sult with him." Primarily, he said, Bundy will consult with Taylor. Although the Bundy trip was cleared severaldaysago with the Vietnamese government, Reedy said, any consultations with Viet- namese officials will be coinci- dental. .He said he thought Bundy would be back in Washington next week- end. Asked what he meant by the sitaution in Viet Nam, Reedy said he spoke of "events and the gen- eral trend in that country." Reedy evaded a question as to whether the Bundy trip could be interpreted as meaning t h e United States has little confidence in the stability of the Vietnamese regime. Reedy said Johnson spent about two hours yesterday afternoon in meetings with Cyrus Vance of the Defense Department; Phillips Tal'- bot, Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs; William Bundy, Assistant Secretary for Far Eastern Affairs; Undersecretary of State George Ball; McGeorge Bundy, and Gen. Earle Wheeler, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. In talks with Vance and Talbot, Reedy said, the President also went into the House action voting a ban on food and other aid to Egypt - a step Reedy said the White House feels should be left to the discretion of the President. State .Budget To Be Outlined LANSING () - Gov. George Romney plans to present to the Legislature today his 1965 state budget - a blueprint expected to call for approximately $800 mil- lion in state spending. The appropriation for higher education will be included in the request. Romney has indicated that he will stick as close as he possibly can to the requests sub- mitted by the state-supported col- leges and universities, which are 38 per cent higher than last year's appropriations. The budget will go to legislators with a note that Romney intends to retain part of this fiscal year's general fund surplus for a rainy day. This surplus has been estimated at between $75 million and $125 million but the amount officially has not been disclosed. -Daily-Robert Sheffield AHC ELECTS OFFICERS Georgia Berland, '67 (right) and Judy Klein, '66, are shown above after being elected president and vice-president, respectively, of Assembly House Council last night.

VIEWS CONFLICT: Group Debates Purpose Of Student Legislature By JUDITH WARREN The proposed Michigan Student Legislature was the topic of much debate and conflict at the meeting of the executive committee of the Michigan region of the United States National Student Association held Sunday. Barry Bluestone, '66, clashed with' Larry Glazer, chairman of the Michigan region from Wayne State University, over the goals of the proposed MSL. Bluestone sees the MSL as a coalition of various student groups on the campuses of the Michigan colleges and universities, BARRY BLUESTONE Maddox Opens Defense. In Civil Rights Case ATLANTA (;P)-Attroneys defending Lester G. Maddox in a con- tempt of court action contended yesterday that he has refused to serve Negroes at his restaurant because of political belief, not because of racial origin. "His policy is not to serve integrationists, regardless of race, color, religion or national origin," argued attorney William G. McRae. That was the defense at the opening of a hearing before United States Dist. Judge Frank A. Hooper who ordered Maddox to show Owhy he should not be held in con- tempt for violating an injunction. Hooper was on a three-judge panel that ordered Maddox to comply with the 1964 Civil Rights T acts Act last July. Maddox turned away Negroes last Friday at his cafeteria, open-, nowing the facts behind the civil ed Sept. 26 at the same place he urnalists who write for daily news- had operated the Pickrick.

Student Assembly Glazer, however, views the MSL as an assembly of students inter- ested in careers in politics. Unlike Bluestone, Glazer sees the MSL following the structure and work- ings of the state Legislature. Glazer envisions an organiza- tion of delegates elected in cam- pus elections which would pass bills and submit them to the state Legislature, as representing stu- dent opinion. Bluestone would rather see the organization directly affect legis- lation is several phases. Publicity Campaign Starting with a specific issue, he said that the MSL should sponsor a massive publicity cam- paign. He suggested including such organizations as, United Auto Workers, veterans organizations and political groups from left to right. Second, Bluestone urged that students attend committee ses- sions, noting which legislators support the given issue. Third,. he asked that students testify before committees giving student views on the proposed legislation. Finally, Bluestone asked for stu- dent pickets in an attempt to in- fluence the vote. Budget Requests Bluestone suggested that the first issue attacked should be the, budget requests by the state sup- ported schools. He feels that this area is of vital concern to the stu- dents of the state-supported schools. If the campaign to affect the budget requests is successfull, Bluestone sees the activities of the MSL expanding to include work in the areas of a lowered voting age requirement, primary and secondary school education, unemployment problems and pov- erty. With such an expansion, Blue- stone sees that the MSL could evolve into the type of organiza- tion envisioned by Glazer. In further action, the executive' nommittee has scheduled a con- To Produce More ,Jobs In I11 States House Hearings on Measure To Begin WASHINGTON (P)-The Senate passed yesterday the billion dollar Appalachia bill designed to pro- duce jobs and raise living stan- dards in the depressed mountain country of eleven states. President Lyndon B. Johnson hailed the 62-22 vote approval as providing "real encouragement to that region." House hearings on the $1.1 bil- lion measure begin Wednesday, and leaders there predict quick approval to make this one of the first major bills to go to the White House this year. Backed strongly by the Presi- dent in his avowed drive to elim- inate poverty, the Appalachia bill was approved in the Senate last year but died in the House. Job Opportunities The federal funds in the Appa- lachia legislation are designed to improve job opportunities and in- come for the more than 15 million persons living in the 165,000- square mile region. Their per capita income now Is about $1400, or $500 below the national average. As defined in the bill, Appala- chia includes 355 counties in the 11 states. Sponsors agree that not all of these counties are poverty- stricken, but say there are dis- advantaged families in all of them. The bill's managers succeeded in keeping out of the bill all amendments to initiate regional development programs for other areas. Additional Legislation But this was done only after direct assurances were offered from President Johnson and Democratic leaders that subse- quent legislation carrying plan- ning funds for such programs would be considered later in the session. Also included are allotments for hospital construction and main- tenance, soil improvement, timber development, strip mine reclama- tion, water resources studies, vo- cational education, and sewage treatment. Democratic leaders pledged that action would be taken later this year to provide planning funds for such programs. They said the President would support this. Initiated by Kennedy The legislation is the product of four years of study begun by President John F. Kennedy soon after he took office in 1961. He had been especially impress- ed by conditions in many parts of West Virginia during his presi- dential primary campaigning there in thenspring of 1960. Sponsors agree that the chief problem in most of Appalachia is the sharp decline in coal mining jobs in recent years. But they cite poor transportation facilities as another important factor. Administration experts have said the total federal cost of the Appalachia aid program, sched- uled to last six years, may reach $2 billion. The bill passed today is the first installment. The Senate outcome was a vic- tory for Sens. Jennings Randolph (D-WVa) and John S. Cooper (R-Ky), co-sponsors and floor managers of the bill. Their states will be among the chief beneficiaries. Grif fin Seeks Tax Deductions WASHINGTON-Rep. Robert P. Griffin (R-Mich) introduced a bill in Congress yesterday design- ed to ease financial pressures on parents of college students. Griffin's bill would allow par- ents a credit against their federal i.- n tnv for ach n1a rnpnt vv. 4 ADDRESSES STUDENT EDITORS: Young Asks Reporting of Civil Rights By LOUISE LIND Assistant Editorial Director in Charge of Magazine Whitney M.
