In a report, Joint Judic urged the creation of an all-campus judi- ciary, to be called Joint Judiciary in place of separate male and fe- male judiciary systems. Office of Student Affairs According to Joint Judic chairman Gary Hoffman, '63, the pro- posed changes are in line with the re-organization of the Office of Student Affars, and the elimination of the Dean of Men's and Dean of Women's Offices, and with the drafting recently of "University Rules" to replace separate provisions for men and women. Hoffman said the proposed new structure was conceived with "an eye to the future" and reflects the changes being made at the University "where there is less and less differentiation between wo- men's and men's rules."! He said the new structure reflects the idea of the totality of the campus in terms of rules and regulations as opposed to present for- mulas which seem to emphasize two separate communities of men and women. Lewis Comments Vice-President for Student Affairs James A. Lewis, to whom the report will be submitted for final approval, called the changes re- garding Women's Judiciary and the faculty-student composition of the final appeal board "excellent" and said that such a plan was "just, what we have been trying to get." Hoffman said the report would be submitted to Lewis at the be- ginning of next semester after an all-campus meeting in which stu- dents will be given the opportunity to suggest further recommenda- tions. The report recommends that the present final appeal board, the Faculty Subcommittee on Discipline, be replaced by a "University Committee on Standards and Conduct," to be appointed by the Presi- dent. The president would select three faculty members and three students from slates drawn up by a faculty committee and a Student Interviewing Committee respectively. Choice of Members The plan would give the President a certain discretion in the choice of members of the committee. Hoffman said his committee hoped that such selection would give prestige and legitimacy to the final appeal board. Joint Judic would meet only rarely, but be concerned with major appeals of University rules. The recommended Joint Judic, immediately below the University Committee on Standards and Conduct in the judicial structure, is designed to re-organize the "floating" unit of Women's Judiciary Council, which often tended to be autonomous and not closely tied to the general student judicial structures. The new committee would pro- vide "a direct line of appeal for women which did not exist before," Hoffman explained. Men, Women To Serve The new Joint Judiciary would include ten students of at least junior standing to be appointed for one year terms, with at least four members of each sex. The proposals also provide for a meeting of just the female, or the male members, of the council to deliberate on cases that might be "embarrassing for consideration in a mixed group." Hoffman foresaw bylaw provisions for a "screening committee" which would examine cases of rule infraction from outside the Uni- versity residence system and then refer such cases to Joint Judiciary or to the appropriate agency. DEAN BURTON D. THUMA ... evaluates shortage COLLEGES: Enrollment Crisis Cited By Hannah By GAIL EVANS In the next three years an en- rollment crisis will face high school graduates and colleges, Michigan State University Presi- dent John A. Hannah told U. S. News and World Report staff members in a recent interview. This crisis will effect "the young people and their families-wheth- er there is going to be an oppor- tunity for all these young people to get into college," Hannah com- mented. The college can always cut- back on admissions, he said. Hannah maintained that for the E past 15 years college and univer- sity presidents have been warning that this increase was coming. State legislators have not listened to these warnings "because what we've been talking about was something that was still down the road a ways." - Public-Supported College The public-supported college will have to absorb most of the enrollment boom, since private schools "have concluded that they would rather hold the line in their admissions." Shortages of facilities are not the only problems faced by over- crowded colleges. In order to solve the shortage problem in two years, teaching aids such as television and teach- ing machines must be used, he indicated. Must Admit Many The state-supported college cannot arbitrarily close its doors to the in-coming students. The state schools must take the posi- tion that "we will take all we can of those who are adequately quali- fied that we can do reasonably well with, no matter how incon- venient it may be - even if it means operating six days a week, night classes, full summer opera- tion and all the rest," Hannah em- *an increase of $800,000 in next year's literary college budget, Dean Thuma said. Faculty Hiring Also, many of the professional meetings where new faculty mem- bers must be hired are held over Christmas, he added. Except where there is some exceptional reason for an early commitment, new fac- ulty members cannot be hired at this time of year. Another factor making the situ- ation worse than in other years is that the University used nearly all of last year's increased appropria- tion and tuition money to boost salaries and comparatively few new people were added to the teaching staff, Dean Thuma said. Furthermore, people with newly granted doctorates are receiving increasingly better offers each year, many of them beginning their full-time teaching work as assistant professors, he added. This increases the cost of hiring them. Senior Professors in addition to younger faculty memnbers, the literary college is trying to recruit senior faculty in some areas in order to reduce the percentage of teaching fellows on the staff and to boost the overall faculty-student ratio, Dean Thuma explained. He also noted that present lit- erarycollege recruiting drives are aimed at alleviating a "faculty panic" about what will happen in 1965 when the University is hit by waves of new students. Math Department Prof. George E. Hay, chairman of the mathematics department, commented that while.specific fig- ures on faculty needs within his department could not be mention- ed, the rate of increase in mathe- matics enrollment over the last ten years has been more than 100 per cent while the faculty has grown only 15 per cent. Prof. William Haber, chairman of the economics department, said that the demand, both on the part of universities, government, in- cluding the federal reserve system, and businesses for doctorates in economics has never been as vig- orous. Hard Competition "Competition makes it difficult for universities not in a position to offer salaries high enough to compete," he declared. Prof. James C. O'Neill, chairman of the department of Romance Languages, noted that the main difficulty in obtaining faculty in his field is that many younger doc- torates are unwilling to accept the position of instructor. Belgians Ask Tshombe Truce ELISABETHVILLE (P)-A Bel- gian delegation was reported in Kolwezi yesterday trying to per- suade Katanga President Moise Tshombe to surrender that strong- hold to the United Nations with- out a fight. Diplomatic sources in Elisabeth- ville said Tshombe wasi consulting with his ministers on what action his secessionist government should take. It was felt Tshombe must decide soon whether to give in to the UN or fight, either in Kolwezi or in the bush. Tshombe's gendarmerie and white officers and soldiers are said to have mined Kolwezi's vital power and mining installations. They have threatened to destroy them should the UN try to take the town by force. Siir ijan Seventy-Two Years of Editorial Freedom VOL. LXXIII, No. 89 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, TUESDAY, JANUARY 15, 1963 SEVEN CENTS SIX PAGES Kennedy sks $13.5 Billion Tax Cut I43Aitj Urges Action To Eliinate Economy Lag To Stage Reductions Over Three Years WASHINGTON (' - President John F. Kennedy called on Con- gress yesterday for speedy action .to spread a $13.5 billion tax cut over three years to achieve in time "a balanced budget in a balanced full employment economy." Proposed reforms would recover $3.5 billion of the lost revenue. Noting in his State of the Union message the seeds of internal dis- integration within the Communist camp, he said that steady progress has been made in building a world of order. "We cannot be satisfied to rest here. This is the side of the hill, not the top. The mere absence of; war is not peace. The mere ab- sence of recession is not growth. We have made a beginning - but we have only begun," Kennedy added. Three Reduction Stages The tax reduction, biggest in world history, would become ef- fective in three annual stages, be- tween 1963 and 1965. About $11 billion of the savings would go to+ individual taxpayers, the rest to corporations. The first-step reduc- tions would take effect this year and would be at an annual rate of $6 billion-but the total re-j duction for 1963 would not be that much unless it were made retro- active to Jan. 1. Kennedy discarded the idea of a massive increase in federal spending as a means of creating jobs and economic growth. Favor- ing instead the tax cut he is pro- posing, the President said "in to- day's setting, private consumers, employers and investors should be given a full opportunity first." Opposed to Hours Cut The President expressed whatt appeared to be unalterable oppo- sition to the hopes of organizedt labor that it may achieve a cut in the standard 40-hour work week1 See ASKS, Page 3 * * * * * * * OSA For Slat es South Vertical Plan' e Quad, Housing ,. China Snubs Neutralists' Peace Plan NEW DELHI (A') - Informed sources said yesterday Red China has rejected truce proposals drawn up by six Asian-African neutralist nations in Colombo last month to settle the Chinese-Indian border dispute. Fear rose in some quarters that the Chinese may renew their drive into India which Peking halted with a cease-fire order Nov. 22. Informed sources said a Ceylon- ese delegation now in New Delhi conceded the Chinese turned down the suggestions. Truce Positions In addition, the Chinese now re- fuse to accept the Indian army's return to overrun areas of north- eastern India until a firm agree- ment is reached. India's attitude toward the Co- lombo proposals is still to be de- termined. Prime Minister Jawa- harlal Nehru is laying them before Parliament after it meets Jan. 21. He said an issue of this scope should be decided by "the repre- sentatives of the people." Ladakh Gain Including their fall gains, the Chinese hold about 14,000 square miles of disputed territory in La- dakh. They want to keep it to as- sure a highway connection in the Himalayas between their province of Sinkiang and Tibet. WOMEN'S RESIDENCE-The third through eighth floors of South Quadrangle's west wing (in- dicated on photograph) will be given over to co-educational housing next fall. The section includes the present men's houses of Van Tyne, Scott and Reeves. SENATE FILIBUSTERS: Hart Defends ori Rights To Relocate Three Units At Markley Decides To Transfei Reeves, Van Tyne, Scott Next Autumn By MICHAEL ZWEIG South Quadrangle will be di- vided on a vertical plan to ac complish co-educational housing, with yan Tyne, Scott and Reeves Houses slated to accommodate women students, Vice-President for Student Affairs James A. Lew- is announced last night. Lewis emphasized that "any man in the houses involved will, as an individual, be given prefer- ential treatment in any of his at- tempts to remain in some other house in South Quad," if he does not wish to live in Mary Markley Hall. If some house other than those slated to move wishes to be- come part of Markley, "every ef- fort will be made to relocate Van Tyne in South Quad," he added. Van Tyne has previously expressed extreme hesitation to move. The decision does not include any transfer of Kelsey House "be- cause the location of Kelsey on the ground floor of the building does not offer the necessary de- gree of security for women resi- dents," Lewis explained., Primary Considerations The primary considerations in the final decision were privacy and security, but questions of eating facilities, access to the ninth floor study hall, and structural matters were also taken into account, he said. The vertical split, which would divide the Quad into East and West wings, one for men, the oth- er for women, "makes control of fire escapes and stairwells less of a problem and eases the difficul- ties of using the ninth floor study facilities by all residents," Lewis noted. The problem of access from Reeves House to Kelsey House is presently under study, and archi- tects are considering plans to build fire escapes directly from Reeves so that the stairwells lead- ing to Kelsey House may safely be locked, Lewis said. He also noted that many of the details of the change-over, notably checking to see that women abide by their hours, have not yet been formally [annah denied that MSU will >me more selective in admis- is policy.

Phil- lip A. Hart (D-Mich) said Sun- day. Under the present Senate rule OFF-BROADWAY REVUE: o Present Play for 'U' Enjoyment i By MARJORIE BRAHMS 22 a minority can prevent the ma- jority from acting. "The minority does have rights; it has the right to be heard and to develop what' they believe in but they do not have the right to prevent action," he continued. The senator was speaking in re- lation to proposed changes in the filibuster"rules of the Senate which would allow a simple majority in- stead of the present two-thirds of the members to close debate on a particular item. Diluted Legislation "I suspect that one could prove that the existence of a filibuster threat under the present rules has diluted not only civil rights bills but social legislation as well," he said. The new proposed bill is not a gag, Hart maintained. He cited the provisions which allow 15 leg- islative days for debate after ini- tial filing of a bill to close debate signed by 16 Senators, the 100 hours of debate allowed if ahyes vote is taken for cloture, (this being divided between the oppo- sition and the proponent) and the additional one hour per Senator allowed for debate if he requests it. Aid to Education 'battle lines' and now that the trenches are dug they-are unlikely to change," he added. Hart noted that he would like to get a formula to aid education and still placate all of the groups. "I think, however, that grants to parochial schools would be uncon- stitutional," he said. Quality of Students "The survival of the country de- pends on the quality of the stu- dents. At the present time new ideas will be defeated because of past discussion and therefore the same type of aid will probably be given to educational institutions," he predicted. City Accepts Zoning Law, Hears Protest City Council last night unani- mously adopted a completely re- vised zoning chapter of the Ann Arbor City Code. The new zoning ordinance, drafted by the Planning Commis- sion after five years of work, will "The Fantasticks" have brought their whimsical revue from their home-base, the Sullivan St. Playhouse off-Broadway, to Ann Arbor as part of a unique triple exchange. Under the auspices of the Professional Theatre Program, the present off-Broadway cast of "The Fantasticks" arrived in Ann Arbor yesterday for a special week's engagement, while a "Fanta- sticks" troupe from the Fred Miller Theatre in Milwaukee replaces them in New York. Romantic Musical Displaying what The New Yorker calls "whimsy as thick as that," the troupe brings to Trueblood Aud. a romantic musical which is currently the longest running show off Broadway. It is in its fourth year with more than 1200 performances. Ty McConnell, '61, who plays the boy romantic lead, returns with "The Fantasticks" to the scene of previous dramatic activities. ,.
