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.

I ! t E ii (f I x x cE I Need for Reform 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- groes He said that every device hu- man ingenuity can devise ha., been used to deny this right and erect barriers. Tn afon _Thnen laf. i rh't 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.

Eastern Michigan University1 students, faculty and staff are carrying out their planned 24- hour march to protest recent' events in Selma, Ala. today. Ypsilanti residents are also tak-' Iing part in "Freedom's Unfinished Fifty," which memorializes the death of Reverend James Reeb who was beaten to death during the abortive attempt by civil rights workers to 'march from Selma to Montgomery a week ago.

At the conclusion of the fiftieth mile, a ballot carried throughout the march will be cast into a ballot box, symbolic of EMU's "vote for1 freedom," Robert Benedict, '65, organizer of the march, said yes-I terday.

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. Direction Commenting on Markopoulos' statement that the festival's "di- rection (was) hardly of an inter- national scope as advertised," Manupelli, who wrote the official brochure said. "I did not advertise has received many Canadian en- tries. In the future it anticipates some from European countries. In particular, Radio Diffusion, of France, is most interested in en- tering the competition for next year," he said. "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."

Responding to this charge, Manupelli said that before Mar- kopoulos resigned, "it had already been agreed by the awards jury and the members of the selection committee that the film "Jerovi" should be shown in competition."j College Report Due by Sunday Gov.

University students from VOICE and Friends of Student Non- violent Coordinating Committee were in Montgomery and Selma. VOICE reported sending 69 stu- dents to the Southern trouble spot. Flippo said that no students were injured, although he learned from SNCC that some people had been struck with billy clubs by mounted deputies. They rode on horseback into a group of about 150 Negroes blocking a main street in a Negro district last night. March from College The march to the capitol, which began Sunday from Alabama State College, moved to within a block of the capitol, Flippo re- ported. About 300 students, from several Midwestern and Southern states, were repeatedly roped off or driven together by police. As darkness fell on the city, the group moved to within two blocks of the capitol when police forced them off' private property and back onto the sidewalks.

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.
