'U' Faculty Salary Hike in Doubt
By THOMAS KABAKER
State spending for higher education, including capital outlay, will
meet only very basic needs, Sen. Elmer R. Porter (R-Blissfield), Chair-
man of the Senate Appropriations Committee, said yesterday.
However, Michigan schools will receive more than last year, he

predicted, although the appropriations may be far less than sought.
"We gave schools fun(is for a nine per cent salary increase last
year because civil service hikes were similar. However that is not the
case this year and I doubt if the Senate will allot as much for salary
increases as the institutions want," Porter said. The House could still
propose an increase in the Uni-
Set versity's budget, but the Senate
would haveto approve any such
iligha measure before it became law.,

Swimmers Lead Indiana by 16
By HAL APPLEBAUM
Michigan, anything but spectac-
ular throughout the dual meet
season, came to life last night
scoring four firsts, three seconds,
and three third places to take a
commanding 93-77 lead over fav-
ored Indiana at the halfway point
of the Big Ten Swimming Cham-
pionships at Varsity Pool.
Michigan State leads Ohio State,
18-17, in the battle for third place
with Iowa 8, Minnesota 4, and
Wisconsin 1, following in that
order.
At .this point Michigan is 13
paints ahead of its pace last year
when they scored an all-time rec-
ord of 148 points.
The Wolverines, trailing the
Hoosiers 22-16 at the beginning of
the day's activties, and expected
to fall further behind in the six
swimming finals, outscored the
visitors 61-55 to equalize the
swimming point totals, 77-all.
Michigan went into the lead by
adding 16 points in one-meter
diving in which Indiana was not
entered.
Finals Tonight
The last six finals will be run off
tonight with the first event sched-
uled for 8 p.m.
Winners for the Wolverines were
Joe Gerlach, one-meter diving;
Ron Clark, 100-yard backstroke;
Frank Legacki, 50-yard freestyle,
and the 400-yard freestyle relay,
team of Jim Kerr, Andy Morrow,
Carl Woolley, and Legacki.
The Hoosiers countered with
victories in the 200-yard butterfly,
Mike Troy; 200-yard backstroke,
Frank McKinney; and 220-yard
freestyle, Pete Sintz, but they were
unable to'match the overall power
of the Wolverines.
Michigan finished the night with
sixteen point winners while Indi-
-ana placed 12.
Indiana Padded Lead
Indiana started the evening by
adding seven points to its first
day's lead in the 200-yard butter-
fr, but then Michigan stunned its
foes when Legacki, Woolley, Kerr

spectacular team performance by

PEACE-MAKERS, ROTC:

Co-Existence Proven Valid at Universtty
By CHARLES KOZOLL
Personnel Director
Pacifists and military men co-existed to music last night at
opposite ends of the campus.
While 500 ROTC-minded couples waltzed in the Union Ballroom,
a smaller number of "peace-makers" were prancing at the University's
first "anti-military ball," held in the Hussey Room of the League.
The idea for the informal dance, designed to spoof the annual
uniformed ball the three military units sponsor, came from a similar
event staged at the University of Wisconsin.
Same Night
"The Young Friends decided to hold the affair two weeks ago
and planned for the same night as the military ball," David Giltrow,
'61Ed.; event chairman reported.
The proceeds from the dance ("one dollar admission charge for
peace-makers, two for warmongers") will go to support the work of
the American Friends Service Committees, and pay for the cost of
the room.
"Music is free," Giltrow said. "An unorganized group of musicians
walked in at 9 p.m. and volunteered to play for us." At 11 p.m. the
four-man unit was still motivating a constantly enlarging crowd of
