As the 14,500 youths from 144
countries left the Communist-
sponsored eighth world youth fes-
tival in Helsinki Aug. 5, the gen-
eral consensus was that the festi-
val was successful at furthering
international goodwill but failed
at furthering international Com-
munism.
Although it was reported that
75 per cent of all the festival ac-
tivities were nonpolitical, there
were demonstrations since the
opening d a y. Anti-Communist
youths shouted anti-Soviet slo-
gans at various festival events in-
cluding parades, sports events,
concerts, movies and dances and
the Helsinki police arrested at
least 80 demonstrators.
Also, the festival proved to be
an escape hatch for East European
youths fed up with Communism.
Reportedly 20 East Germans have
defected since the opening of the
festival. In addition, several Poles
have deserted their delegation.
One of the most crucial moves
that occurred at the festival was
the walkout of 44 non-Commun-
ists of the ,101 member Ceylonese
delegation. Headed by the delega-
tion's official leader, Hema Da-
bare, they left in protest against
the procedure at politicalmeet-
ings, wheredCommunist speakers
were favored.
For therpast 15 years the festi-
vals have been held in Communist
capitals-Prague, Budapest, East
Berlin, Bucharest, Warsaw, Mos-
cow. The most recent festival in
Vienna, Austria, in 1959 was the
first one to be held in a non-Com-
munist country. The Finnish gov-
ernment, this year's host, was op-
posed to having the festival in
its country.
Two Finnish youth organiza-
tions, representing the vast major-
ity of Finland's youth, protested
a festival in their country under
Communist auspices, and refused
to take part in the preparations.
According to the organizers of
the Festival, they are, financed
from fees paid by the participants
and voluntary contributions. Since
the cost of the festivals has been
estimated at several million dol-
lars and the income from partici-
pants' fees would amount to about
half a million dollars, it is gener-
ally concluded that the funds
come from outside sources.
The United States was repre-
sented by a 450 member delega-
tion. In addition several anti-fes-
tival groups such as the Yale Uni-
versity Russian chorus and the
Independent Research Service
(IRS) sent representatives. IRS
tried to counter Communist prop-
aganda by establishing personal
contacts and fight private oral
battles with Communist propagan-
ists. Among this group were five
University students - Michael
Zweig, '64; Brian Glick, '62; Rob-
ert Ross, '63; Barbara Feldkamp,
'62; John Feldkamp, '64L; and
Prof. E. Harold Swayze of the
political science department.
About one-fourth of the Unit-
ed States contingent went on a
13-day tour of the Soviet Union
after the Festival ended.
(Continued from Page 1)
The commission reviewed rather
carefully the studies and recom-
mendations which had been made
by earlier faculty groups. It also
conducted research of its own into
future (potential) student enroll-
ments, and the ability of the Uni-
versity to meet these if its growth
was on a year-to-year basis.
"It was the conclusion of the
commission after this preliminary
research that some form of year-
round operation would be a nec-
essity, and we, proceeded to take
a look at different plans for im-
plementing year-round activities,"
Prof. Haber said.
Initial faculty reaction to the
possible conversion to year-round
operations was tested at an in-
formal meeting of the University
Senate in April.
In mid-May, a preliminary re-
port was discussed by representa-
tives of the commission with Pres-
ident Hatcher and the Regents.
Shortly after this, Prof. Haber
and the committee's administra-
tive secretary, Stephen Spurr,
dean of the natural resources
school, who followed as commis-
sion chairman when Prof. Haber
went on sabbatical leave last year,
conferred with Student Govern-
ment Council to findout student
reaction to the possible plan. How-
ever, Council never voted on the
issue.
At the same time, President
Hatcher called a special meeting
of the University Senate to en-
able faculty members to raise
questions or objections to the
year-round plan.

M/CHIGAN THEAT RE
Construction begins this fall on
the new $4.6 million Music School
Bldg., which the University finally
succeeded in getting from the'
state Legislature after years of
frustration.
The building, designed by famed
architect Eeno Saarinen, should
be completed out on North Cam-
pus by September 1964, and as
the largest music school in the
country will house faculty offices
and classrooms for music school
students.
Students not enrolled in the
school will, continue to receive
music instruction in Burton Tow-
er, Hill Aud. and Lane Hall. These
are only three of the 13 buildings
scattered around campus in which
music courses are given.
End Overcrowding
This consolidation and improve-
ment of facilities is expected to

sions which have plagued the
school in recent years.
Saarinen's sprawling, cleanly-
designed structure, to be carved
out of a heavily-wooded slope
overlooking the Huron River, will
c o n t a i n two concert-rehearsal
halls (about the size of Aud. A),
55 teaching studios, 50 classrooms,
189 practice rooms, faculty offices
and a 30,000 volume library-all
representing a considerable in-
crease in facilities available.
The building is totally sound-
proof, and much care will be taken
to insure proper acoustics.
Drop Halls
Originally, a large auditorium
and concert hall (to supplant Hill
Aud.) was included in the struc-
ture, but was left out when it
was found the cost would zoom up'
to $8 million.
Assistant Dean Allen P. Britton
of the music school said the new
facility could allow for some ex-
pansion in the school's enrollment,
if necessary additional funds be-
come available.
Dean James B. Wallace praised
the new construction as evidence
that the University is as vitally,
interested in the humanities as in
other phases of academic life.

Major Issues
One of the major issues raised
was whether the University could
obtain sufficient appropriations
to keep going for three "sem~nes-
ters." But President Hatcher in-
timated that there would be real
problems raised if the plan were
approved.
Thus, with administrative as-
surances, the faculty offered their
(unofficial) approval to the pro-
posal.
The Senate Advisory Commit-
tee also lent its support to the pro-
posal, urging President Hatcher
to send it on to the Regents with
whom final approval rested.
Submit Report
Then, late in May, the eight-
man commission submitted its
formal report to the President,
asking for a gradual conversion
to year-round operation through
the use of a triple-semester plan
differing from both the "quarter"
system used at schools like the
University of Chicago and the so-
called "trimester" plan currently
in effect at the University of
Pittsburgh and at the University's
Dearborn Center.
"The basic difference between
the University's future operations
and those at Pittsburgh concern
the acceleration of undergraduate
education.
"The faculty commission didn't
feel that acceleration was neces-
sarily good - Pittsburgh thinks
that three years in lieu of fours
sufficient for an undergraduate
education. We wanted to expand
facilities, but this doesn't mean
that schooling can or ought to
take less time, for there is more
to college than going to classes,"
Spurr said.
Gradual Change
The plan called for a very grad-
ual easing into year-round opera-
tinby shortening the fall and
spring semesters by about two
weeks each, and by adding a third
"split" semester instead of the
current summer session.
"After the President had re-
viewed the plan, it was transmit-
ted to the Regents and approved
in principle by them, although the
Regents added that they wanted
further time for a more thorough
study of the problems which
would be raised when it was in-
stituted," Spurr commented.
Since that time, the University
-the faculty,,.student body and of
course administration-has start-
ed attempting to find its way into
the world of year-round opera-
tions.
During the summer, various
deans and department chairmen
decided how much additional ap-
propriations the conversion would
require. And despite President
Hatcher's assurances to the fac-
ulty a year ago that no financial
crisis would result because of a
full year program, there are a
good many faculty members whose
attitudes are frankly pessimistic,
Cautious Entrance
The whole program is being en-
tered into very slowly and cau-
tiously, so that if it is unsuccess-
ful, the University can pull out
with a minimum of embarrass-
ment and effort.
There are several factors which
could account for a lack of suc-
cess. First is the question of
finances.
Prof. Haber felt that the posi-
tion of the University's needs for
additional funds for growth and
development would be strengthen-
ed if the school went on year-
round operations.
However, the amount needed
would be at least several million
dollars-mostly to pay for the ad-
ditional faculty which would nec-
essarily be hired during the third
semester, since the Senate and the
administration have made it quite
clear that they don't want faculty
members teaching at the Univer-
sity for three consecutive semes-
ters. This of course means that
visiting professors will have to be
hired, and could conceivably mean
a necessary pay boost.
Summer School
Then, too, students just might
not wish to attend during the
summer semester. The University
could have means of making the
May-August session more appeal-
ing, such as presenting a better
variety of courses to students at
that time, or rejecting applicants
for admission in September, but
admitting them for the following
May session.
Student response to the pro-
gram has been negligible. But it
