FEWER REQUIREMENTS:
Propose College Curriculum
Selma Police Guard Protestors;
By LESLEY FINKELMAN
Reducing the number of distri-
bution requirements and abolish-
ing all but freshmangrades were
proposed by the Literary College
Steering Committee yesterday for
the curriculum of the residential
college.
The suggested curriculum pro-
posed by a sub-committee headed
by Martin L. Katz, '67, will be
presented to Burton D. Thuma,
associate dean of the literary col-
lege and direct6r of the residential
college, today.
According to .the recommenda-
tion, there would be only three
distribution requirements: a two-
year general humanities course,
a one-year combination natural
and physical science course, and
a one-year social science course.
The general humanities course
would cover intellectual develop- perspectives of sociology, eco-

Explained in Talk
WASHINGTON (T) - President
Lyndon B. Johnson told the Con-
gress and the nation last night
that the time for waiting is gone
and the time for action has come
to assure every American the
right to vote, regardless of race
or color.
The Chiief Executive spoke to
a joint session of Congress and
by radio and television to the na-
tion.
The harsh fact, Johnson said
is that in many places in this
country men and women are kept
from voting because they are Ne-

He said that every device hu-
man ingenuity can devise ha.,

for men's and women's dormi-
tories. The new system will es-
tablish more "parallel services
and payments" between men's and
women's residences.
Also yesterday, Assembly House
Council voted to request the rais-
ing of student. wages to $1.25 this
summer. According to the AHC
motion the raise would go into
effect by July, 1965 instead of in
1967 as proposed by Vice-President
of Business and Finance Wilbur
K. Pierpont.
According to the Student Em-
ploye's Union the wage increase
would put University wages on a
par with wages at other state and
regional universities.
AHC also passed a motion yes-
terday to allocate $1200 from its
} Education Fund to Library and
Scholarship Funds. $1000 would be
distributed between the dormi-
tories for use in their individual
libraries. The remaining $200 dol-
lars would be used to establish a
scholarship open to all girls liv-
ing in the residence halls and to
associate members who pay house
dues.
Last month the Office of Stu-
dent Affairs refused to endorse
leases between students and own-
ers of unfinished buildings. At
that time ten leases between
sophomore women and University
Towers were cancelled.
The committee last night also
recommended that students use
only University leases and refer to
the housing booklet prepared by
the Office of Student Affairs Off-
Campus Housing Bureau. The
booklet is available at the infor-
mation desk in the Student Activi-
ties Bldg. and at residence halls.
Also at last night's meeting the
committee decided to invite both
candidates for the position of Ann
Arbor mayor to speak at a meet-
ing open to students. The com-
mittee will jointly sponsor the
meeting in cooperation with the
Graduate Student Council Hous-
ing Committee.
At the open meeting the com-
mittees hope to discuss with the
creased housing inspection. No
candidates the issues of low-in-
come federal housing and in-
date has been set for the meeting.

Filmmaker Gregory Markopoulos
resigned as jurist at the third Ann
Arbor Film Festival last night.
In a telegram to The Daily he
said he found the film festival's
"direction hardly of an interna-
tional scope as advertised," and
was "horrified that a sense of
censorship should prevail at an
event which is for the students
and for driving local films out of
competition."'
Prof. George Manupelli of the
art department, a member of the
film selection committee of the
festival and representative of the
Dramatic Arts Center, said that
Markopoulos' comments about
censorship were "not true." There
has been "absolutely no censor-
ship," he stated. "No film was
eliminated (from competition)
because of its content."
Any film that was 16 milli-
meter, never shown previously in
Ann Arbor competition and evi-
denced a high regard for the film
as a creative medium was eligible
for competition, Manupelli ex-
plained.

some from European countries. In
particular, Radio Diffusion, of
France, is most interested in en-

"The Film Festival's purpose is
not to show films for students,"
said Manupelli in response to
Markopoulos' telegram. "It is not
sponsored by the University."

A FREE LUNCH IS NEVER FREE:
Famed Economist Scorns Federal Intrusion
By JACK MEYER
Although the government may promise it, "there is no such
thing as a free lunch," Prof. Ludwig von Mises of New York Univer-
sity declared last night.
Mises, an economist, author and philosopher, blamed what he
called deceptive promises and governmental intervention generally
for the recurring fluctuations which are said to plague the capitalist
system.
Known as a leading exponent of laissez-faire "liberalism," Mises
addressed an audience of 125 persons representing a broad spectrum
of economic viewpoints. The speech was, however, sponsored by the
newly-formed "Libertarian League," a student-run organization ad-
vncting an unrestrained economy.
He explained that the government, through decreased ta
or increased spending, dumps an increased quantity of mone
the lap of the consumer.
The consumer begins to spend more, and then, as prices r
unwittingly worsens the situation by hoarding his money rathe
paying the higher prices, Mises said.
Governmental agencies, the economist declared, also oi
