LXXIII, No. 84' ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 9, 1963 SEVEN CENTS SIX PAGES Green Chosen House Speaker, Sees 'Nothing But Optimism' By GERALD STORCH and WILLIAM BENOIT Special Tro The Daily LANSING-The man who be- came Speaker of the House last night says that he has "detected nothing but optimism" even among the most conservative Republican legislators towards the new regime of Governor George Romney. Representative Allison Green (R-Kingston) was chosen, as ex- pected, for the speakership by a comparatively tame House GOP caucus last night. Formal eleva- tion to the post will come today as the state Legislature opens its 1963 session. Both Green and Representative Robert Waldron (R-Grosse Pointe) the new Republican floor leader of the House, claimed that Rom- ney backers, who controlled the Senate GOP and the more con- servative out-state elements pre- dominant in the. House could co- exist in a spirit of "open-minded- ness and willingness to cooperate. Will Work "We won with him, we will work with him," Waldron declared, and Green predicted that if the Senate sends over legislation of a "rea- sonable" na'ture, "we will be able to work something out." The new speaker noted that the caucus elections didn't have much to do with individual philosophies, as was the case when moderates dislodged the old guard in the Senate Republican caucus last month. "The House leaders aren't real- ly pro- or anti-Romney," Green asserted. "We have only a two vote margin, and there's no room for family feuds." (There are fif- ty-eight Republicans and fifty-two Kaplan To Leave UCLA Post To Teach Philosophy at 'U By MARJORIE BRAHMS Prof. Abraham Kaplan, chairman of the philosophy department at University of California at Los Angeles, will resign from his post there in June to teach in the University's philosophy department. Prof. Kaplan was appointed professor of philosophy for the 1963- 64 academic year by The Regents at the November meeting. He was "-, - PROF. GEORGE KISH . . praises progress a visiting professor at the Univer- sity in 1951-52 and the second, se- mester of 1954-55. Explains Decision According to the Daily Bruin, student newspaper at UCLA, Doris Drake, administrative assistant to the philosophy department, ex- plained that two factors influenced Kaplan's decision. "He just liked the setup at the University," she said. "'Of course there was a big increase in pay." He " is currently on leave at Wesleyan University in Middle- ton, Conn., where hie is doing re- search for the Center for Advanced Studies. Appointed Chairman Prof. Kaplan's resignation will mark the end of a long career at UCLA that began in 1947 when he joined the philosophy department as assistant professor. In 1952 he was appointed chairman of the department. A graduate of the College of St. Thomas, St. Paul, Minn., he did graduate work at the University of Chicago and received his doctor- ate from UCLA. Prof. Kaplan has contributed nunierous articles to philosophical journals and written several books, including "The New World of Philosophy." The past president of the American Philosophical Asso- ciation, he is a recipient of Gug- genheim and Rockefeller Fellow- ships. Acting Dean of the literary col- lege Burton D. Thuma, comment- ing on the appointment, said "Prof. Kaplan is widely recognized as one of the most brilliant and stimulat- ing figures in American philosophy But he is most noteworthy for the way in which he combines knowledge of the social sciences which is both wide and deep with a gift for penetrating philosophical analysis." Democrats in the House pending two recounts; fifty-six votes are needed to pass legislation.) Not Opposed Green said that he is not unal- terably opposed to an income tax, some form of which may pass the Senate, "If it turns out to be the only answer" to the state's fiscal problems, "then I won't commit myself for or against it right now. House committee chairmen and members will probably be named next week, Green said. House Democrats will caucus this morn- ing. Other results of the House GOP conclave showed Representatives Wilfred G. Bassett (R-Jackson) re-elected speaker pro-tem, and Martin D. Buth (R-Comstock) elected assistant floor leader. Buth replaces Rep. Carroll C. Newton (R-Dalton), who lost out in a close race with Waldron. Defeats Hogan Bassett defeated Representative Henry Hogan (R-Birmingham) but Speaker Pro-tem Green and Buth were unopposed. The caucus also decided to move for a bi-partisan committee to in- vestigate alleged infractions in the fall campaign of Representative- elect Leonard S. Walton (D-De- troit). Waldron will propose today that Walton not be seated until such an investigation d e t e r m i n e s whether Walton deliberately mis- represented himself as an incum- bent. The House is empowered to refuse to seat a representative in special elections. Green said that today's session would probably be limited to for- malities. Tomorrow Romney will deliver the annual "State of the State" address to a joint Senate- House meeting. SGC To Hear Regents Motion Student Government Council will hear a motion tonight urging student government to take a more active part in the elections of the Regents. The resolution, proposed by Daily Editor Michael Olinick,'63, asks that SGC meet to "approve a statement outlining what it feels the major problems of the Uni- versity are and what approach to them the Regental candidates should have." In addition, it urges the council to take a stand on what the qualifications for these positions should be. SGC will also hear a proposal to disenfranchise ex-officio mem- bers of that body. The motion states that they are not directly responsible to a student constitu- ency. It also notes that as heads of other campus organizations, they do not have necessary time to devote to the Council. Four students were selected to fill the vacancies on Joint Ju- diciary Council. The appointments will be reviewed by the Council tonight. The following students were appointed to full year terms: Thomas Butterfield, '64, David Fainberg, '64, Pnd John Markie- wicz, '64. In addition, Patricia Golden, '63, was appointed to a half year term. EastQuad Endorses Proposal By MICHAEL ZWEIG East Quadrangle Council unan- imously endorsed a proposed amendment to the Inter-Quad- rangle Council constitution which would open the position of presi- dent of IQC to students of junior standing. The present IQC constitution limits the presidency to seniors. The amendment "is part of a move to change the atmosphere of IQC and make it active in campus life and politics," Jeffrey Fortune, '65E, president of Strauss. House, explained. There are three ways for the amendment to be acted upon, For- tune said. IQC may initiate it it- self, 10 house councils may pass the amendment and bring it be- fore IQC through the initiatory mechanism, or two-thirds of all house councils may pass the amendment, in which case it be- comes effective without further action by IQC. Pass Amendment This last method would require that 16 of the 23 houses in East, South and West Quadrangles pass the same amendment. Fortune indicated that there will be an attempt to get the amend- ment passed in 16 houses and cir- cumvent direct IQC action. Strauss House passed the motion last week, but the East Quad Council en- dorsement does not count towards the needed house approval, he said. The issue is not that a junior be elected, but that the range of can- didates be expanded, Fortune said. No specific person is being consid- ered at this time whose desired candidacy prompted the amend- ment, he stressed. Broaden Base The broadening of the base of possible IQC officers will not only increase the field of qualified can- didates, but also involve the coun- cil and. quad residents in discus- sion and debate of issues on the campus and help create an at- mosphere of activity and concern. "In the Past, IQC elections have been a shoo-in," Fortune asserted, "and we feel a need for more com- petition to increase responsibility and active interest among the offi- cers of IQC." Another proposed amendment to the IQC constitution which would set limits on the criteria to be used in IQC endorsement of SGC candidates was defeated recently by West Quad Council. The amendment would require that all endorsements by IQC be made on the basis of the candi- dates' position on issues directly related to quadrangle issues. i eK. A survey conducted by .the University's Survey Research Center predicts a prosperous economy for the next six months, but sees a doubtful future beyond that. Professors George Katona and Eva L. Mueller, both of the SRC economic behavior program, di- rected the nationwide cross- section of 1,350 adults in No- vember and December. The eco- nomic behavior program is part of the Institute for Social Re- search. A report of the quarterly study said that improved con- sumer attitudes and strong de- mands for automobiles result in a good first half of this year, but that a general tax reduc- tion may be necessary to stim- ulate the economy later in the year. Automobile Sales Prospects for automobiles and home sales are better than they were last year, the report said. During the next few months, automobile demands will con- tinue to support the economy. About one family in 10 intends to buy a new car this year, and a similar number hopes to pur- chase used cars, according to the report. The survey found that three major factors influence con- sumers willingness to buy: Cuban crisis. The researchers feel that heightened interna- tional tension tends to create uneasiness during which con- sumers are apt to postpone some of their purchases. Scrappage Rates Automobile demand is shap- ed by a rising baseline due to increased scrappage rates, pop- ulation and income; and to bus- iness cycle fluctuations and changes in attitudes towards automobile purchases. The report further says that "attitudes towards automobiles' improved greatly when the in- troduction of the compact car made for satisfaction with the assortment of cars and destroy- ed the notion that prices are constantly rising." But the 1960-61 recession delayed the advent of a prosperous year for automobiles until the fall of 1961. The report added, however, that no important factor lead- ing to the maintenance of last- ing prosperity could be foreseen. "In this respect," it said, "a tax cut may be of great import- ance as a psychological stimu- lus on the consumer. There is evidence, it noted, that a tax cut for middle-income families would spur sales of durable goods, home and leisure time expenditures. PROF. GEORGE KATONA ... predicts prosperity 1) Recent changes in income. Some 39 per cent of those in- terviewed reported that they were earning more than they had a year ago. 2) More 'favorable general economic news in the last few months than earlier in 1962. 3) A relaxation of interna- tional tensions following the ' To Scrap Bursley Hall In Favor of Smaller Units ..~~~~4 .. ..... .............................:. .... ...

Trend P, By PHILIP SUTIN The Inter-Fraternity Council executive committee established committees last night to press for liberalization of women's guest hours in fraternities and to con- sider the possible granting of IFC membership to Evans Scholars, administrative vice-president Frederick Rieker, '63, reported last night. The IFC executive committee discussed women's hours with Vice-President for Student Affairs James A. Lewis. The vice-president indicated that there is little pos- sibility for changing them at this time, Rieker said. KishLauds EEC Gains By DANIEL SHAFER "The progress which is beingl made in the development of the Common Market is amazing -- beyond the wild'st dreams of any of the technicians working within the structure of the community." IThis was the comment made yesterday by Prof. George Kish of the geography department, who has just recently returned from a trip to the Common Market coun- tries. He described the entire concept of ti1e European Economic Com- munity as "the most exciting thing which has happened in Europe this century," but added that the 'gradual manner in which these changes are being presented to the people" makes it easier for the people to accept the change in the face of Europe. Commenting on the possibility of Britain joining the Common Market, Prof. Trish said that "it is a highly complex situation and, with the coming talks between British and Common Market ne- gotiators, it would be unwise to make a comment at this time as to the chances of Britain's join- ing the Common Market." Start Anew He did say, however, that "un- less a decision is reached very! soon -before March or April of this year - the negotiations would probably bog down and have to be started entirely anew in 1964." This is because Britain is re- quired to hold a national election in 1964 and that unless the cur- rent administration reached some' sort of agreement before the cam- paigns began there would be a very "dim chance of the negotia- tions succeeding in the future." Prof. Kish pointed out thatt there were three major "stumbling blocks" td the success of these negotiations. British Agriculture First, there is the problem of British agriculture. "It is interest- ing to note that, although agri- Committee Members Report On Union, League Merger By LOUISE LIND and THOMAS CREECY Individual members of the Union-League Study Committee yes- terday submitted written recommendations on the proposed Michi- gan Union-Women's League merger. While these individual reports should not. be considered the final recommendation of this committee, they do represent the general " feeling of the committee at this Dormitories To Provide Coed Living North Campus Area, / Slated for Housing Of Foreign Students By RONALD WILTON The University has decided not to build Bursley Hall, a proposed coeducational residential dormi- tory for North Campus, in favor of offering students a wider choice in housing than is now available. In place of the quadrangle type hall, the University is planning a series of smaller buildings on North Campus designed for up- perclassmen, graduate students and foreign students. The new buildings will be de- signed with considerable flexibil- ity of occupancy in mind. Each will be designed to house 500 men and women. Broken down each will have 100 single occupancy rooms, 100 suites having a study and a bedroom designed for two occupants and 100 double rooms. Bathing and toilet faciiltieg will be located between the rooms, Food Services Food services will be provided in a separate project close to the buildings and will be .designed to accommodate food needs of all students on North Campus, Vice- President for Student Affairs James A. Lewis emphasized. Common facilities for each building will include a large main lounge with semi- private areas, a main office, an apartment for the manager-director of the building and laundry facilities. In addition, there will be phone service in every room. Other specifications being ds- cussed include terraces, short cor- ridors, a small number of floors per wing, prking /for at least 35 per cent of the students and air- conditioning. Shuttle Busses Lewis predicted that the build- ings would be ready for occupancy by the fall of 1965. Shuttle busses will continue to provide trans- portation to North Campus. The buildings will be located as ,near to its center as possible. The project will be self -liquidat- ing with the downpaynient com- ing from general housing funds. So far no limit has been put on the cost of the new units. Lewis explained that Bursley Hall would not be built because undergraduate enrollment has not grown very much over the past four years and there is no need for large type housing. He added that plans for the hall had been completed and if a need for such housing arises the plans for it will be pulled out and used. The planned new units are an outgrowth of a fairly new Univer- sity policy which aims at offer- ing students as wide a choice of housing as possible. The University is presently en- gaged in the construction of the Oxford Project and converting South Quadrangle and Madn r Markley into co-ed housing Fraternities, Rieker said, may not have women in its public areas except for registered social events after 6 p.m. while apart- ments and quadrangles are al- lowed to receive women until one half hour before the dorm's close. Special Committee The special committee consists of IFC President John Meyerholz, '63, executive vice-president David Croysdale, '63, and Chi Psi Pres- ident William Birchfield, '63. To assure continuity of the commit- tee next year's IFC officers will be added to the committee in late spring. He explained that current regu- lations put fraternities at a dis- advantage, especially with apart- ment dwellers who may be visited by women with few restrictions. The committee will attempt to present the fraternity viewpoint to Lewis and to the 'University community, Rieker noted. The second committee will con- sider on what basis the Evans Scholars should be admitted to the Inter-Fraternity Council. Scholarship Caddies The Scholars, a group of former golf course caddies supported by Western Golf Association scholar- ships, are seeking full member- ship. Rieker said the committee will consider whether it should; be a member, an associate mem- ber or a full member. He explained that since' the Scholars live together on the basis+ of their stipends, a number of membership selection rules would have. to be waived if the group joined IFC. Rieker noted that Evan Scholars have been recognized by the Wis- consin and Illinois Inter-Frater- nity councils.' MSU Students To Give Talk" Benjamin Taylor and Ivanhoe Donaldson, the two Michigan State University students arrested in Clarksdale, Miss., on charges of unlawful possession of barbitur- ates, will arrive in Ann Arbor to- day and will speak at the Social Action Center at 7:30 p.m. The two were released from jail Monday on $1,500 bond and are awaiting trial. They have denied all charges and plan legal action against alleged abuse on the part of Clarksdale police. Taylor and Donaldson charged at a press conference in Louisville, Ky., after their release, that the police had refused to give them any food during the first 24 hours of their arrest. They further charged that the supplies which they had brought in for unemployed Negroes in the Mississippi delta area were par- tially confiscated and that much of the clothing was saturated with oil by the police.
