Virginia's Senate Terms Reduced
From Two to Four Years by Action
WASHINGTON (P')-Virginia lost in the Supreme Court yester-
day an effort to stay a lower court's legislative reapportionment order
that would cut the terms of incumbent state senators from four to
two years.
Chief Justice Earl Warren turned down without comment a peti-
tion by State Atty. Gen. Robert Y. Button for a stay so the question
could be considered by the full Supreme Court on a later appeal.
This lets stand an order by a three-judge federal court in Alex-
andria, Va., which on Sept. 19 ordered Virginia to reapportion both
its House of Delegates and Senate by Dec. 15. At the same time, the

CHIEF JUSTICE WARREN

Steel Rise
LOS ANGELES OP) - President
Lyndon B. Johnson let it be known
yesterday he is prepared to take a
determined stand against any
steel price increase at this time.
The President's views were made
known to newsmen by associates
who said he has been keeping
close tabs on reports of a possible
price hike and feels that one
would be hard to justify now.
Johnson, who is studying eco-
nomic reports between campaign
speeches, also feels that the na-
tion's economy has enough mo-
mentum to maintain its advance
at least until mid-1965.
Upswing
Some reports from his economic
advisers suggest the possibility of
a sag in the economic upswing
about July 1, 1965 unless steps are
taken to head it off.
Steps under study include revi-
sion of excise taxes, due to expire
next June 30. Johnson is repre-
tribunal directed that both Sen-
ate and House seats be put up
for election by January 1966.
November Election
The lower court followed up a
Supreme Court order of last June
that Virginia must reapportion its
legislature as nearly as possible
on the basis of population in time
for the already scheduled Novem-
ber 1965 election.
Current members of the House
of Delegates were chosen in 1963,
for two-year terms. The lower
court said "orderly procedure"
would suggest that the members
continue until expiration of their
terms in January 1966.
But the incumbent senators,
also chosen in 1963, were elected
to four-year terms. The court said
there is "no warrantable founda-
tion" for permitting them to serve
beyond January 1966.
Unique
Button told Warren that no
other Federal District Court had
ordered a state legislature to cut
the terms of its own members. He
said the Supreme Court had allow-
ed members of both houses of the,
Maryland legislature to stay in
office until 1967 and Button asked
that Virginia get similar treat-
ment.
However, it was noted in New
York that special Federal Court
has ordered that state to reap-
portion by next April and to hold'
a special election in 1965. This
would mean legislators elected
this year will serve only one year1
instead of the normal two.t
Gov. A. S. Harrison already hasj
made preliminary plans to call the
legislature into special session in
line with the court's Dec. 15 dead-,
line.

A government spokesman said
"prompt action is being taken by

He gave no further details.
Other official sources said the
size of the landing party was not

government troops and guerrillas.

Reports without immediate con-=

group was believed to number
about 60 and was said to have
crossed the narrow Strait of Ma-

of Sumatra in five boats.
These reports said the boats
were found at the mouth of the
Kesang River on the Malacca
border with Johore state, some 80
air miles soutli of Kuala Lumpur.
The reported landing site is 70
miles northwest of Johore's Pon-

The Pontian landings were fol-

the inland Labis area of Johore
last Sept. 2.?
The invasions led Malaysia's
government to declare a nation-f

With off-campus h o u s i n g
crowded and no new dormi-
tories planned until 1966, the
International Center is facing
serious problems in housing
new foreign students.
Mrs. Kathleen Mead, admin-
istrative assistant at the cen-
ter, explains that this year for
the first time all newly enter-
ing foreign students had to find
off-campus housing. In pre-
vious years, the University has
had s o m e dormitory space
available for them.
But this year the University
admitted about 250 more fresh-
men than it had expected, and
was forced to locate 450 stu-
dents in temporary housing at
the beginning of the semester.
All students are now out of the
temporary housing, but the
University still has no extra
space in the residence halls.
Serious Problems
Foreign students face serious
problems in trying to get places
in the residence halls. The Uni-'
versity sends housing applica-
tions only to students who have
paid their enrollment deposit.
But foreign students run into
trouble paying their deposits,
Mrs. Mead explains. Some don't
have the money to send in ad-
vance, and some are barred by
their countries from sending
large amounts of cash. As a re-
sult, the majority of foreign
students can't pay the deposit
until they arrive in the fall. By
this fall, the overflow of Ameri-
can students had taken all
available dormitory space.
The dormitories aren't the
only place foreign students have
problems. Off-campus housing
is as scarce as it has been in
years. "Through the years I've
been able to build a list of
moderately priced apartments
that foreign students can rent,"
Mrs. Mead says. "But this year
we lost about 100 rooms in old
houses which are being torn
down to make way for new
apartment buildings."
New Apartments
The new apartments are of-
ten too expensive for foreign
students, she explains, although
sometimes foreign students get
around this difficulty by "bud-
dying up" with four or five peo-
ple in an apartment.
Almost all foreign students
want to live with an American
family, but none are living with
Ann Arbor families this year.
There are two reasons for this,
Foreign Houtsing--Crowded
Mrs. Mead says. Many Ann
Arbor residents are reluctant to
offer the use of their homes to
students on a long-range basis,
and Ann Arbor is in any case
too small a community to ab-
sorb any appreciable number of
students.
But many Ann Arbor fami-.
lies do act as hosts to foreign

students on a short-range
basis. The Ann Arbor Council
of Churches sponsors a pro-
gram under which local "host
families" receive foreign stu-
dents on visits to their homes.
The experience students get in
observing American customs
and life is "very useful," Mrs.
Mead comments.
First Nights
In addition, Mrs. Edna Bald-
win, wife of Rev. DeWitt Bald-
win, coordinator of religious af-
fairs at the University, arranges
for foreign students to stay in
Ann Arbor homes the first few
nights they are in town. "125
families offered this fall to
meet students when they ar-
rived and take them into their
homes for a good dinner and a
badly needed rest," Mrs. Mead
notes.
T h e International Center,
University and c o m m u n i t y
groups are working together to
help foreign students find
rooms. The center is able to

who apply earliest-in the In-

Executive
In June, the Council's executive
arm, the Board of State. College
Presidents, approved the joint re-
quest idea "in principle," resolv-
ing to work for its implementa-
tion by the fall of 1965.
The group reportedly rejected
a proposal to make this fall's re-
quests jointly. They decided, in-
stead, to work experimentally to
see if a joint request is possible.
The 10 schools have already
individually sent to Lansing their
fund bids.
'Promising'
Terming the joint request, "a
very promising idea," University
Executive Vice-President Marvin
Niehuss said "we're all for it." He
added there are a number of de-
tails to be worked out.
These include agreement on
cost-per-student, cost-per-credit-
hour andclassification of re-
search money.
Niehuss said the joint request
plan is patterned after a pro-
cedure used in Indiana whereby
the four state schools submit a
joint total based mainly on costs
the previous year.
A spokesman for Gov. George
Romney said statewide coopera-
tion is a "good sign." But he

The foreign student motion, in-
troduced by International Student
Association President Yee Chen,
'65, demonstrated the fact that the
number of students from other
countries, on this campus has de-
clined in recent years, contrary
to the prevailing trend in most
major American universities.
SGC Believes
The motion states that "SGC
. believes that the University
. . . must make a stronger com-
mitment to the education of stu-
dents from other countries as part
of the total effort of this nation
in the quest for peace and inter-
national understanding."
The organization rules, present-
ed for Council's examination, had
been extensively reorganized and
rewritten by Miss Miller and Miss
Lebedeff. The new version elim-
inates the requirement of a fac-
ulty adviser for student organi-
zations and the minimum mem-
bership requirement.
The section in the new version
of organization rules which stipu-
lates that a student group must

throw of the government, was de-
leted by Council, the rationale be-
ing that SGC does not have the
right ,to pass judgment on the
philosophies of other student or-
