Special to The Daily
DALLAS - Michigan was off to a good start in the NCAA swim
championships here last night and knocked one of its top rivals, In-
diana, down a couple of pegs in the process.
Southern California, the other leading contender to end Michi-
gan's three-year championship reign, shared the opening-day point
lead at ten each with the Wolverines and Yale. Indiana had only three
points.

Assembly
Proposes
Housing
By KENNETH MELDOWNEY
The Assembly Association yes-
terday distributed a recommenda-
tion that Little House of Mary
Markley be retained as upperclass
housing for the 1960-1961 year.
The recommendation also asked
that Betsy Barbour or Helen New-
berry, depending on which has the
highest turnover, replace Little as
upperclass housing in 1961-1962.
If there is further demand, the
other house will be considered as
an additional upperclass house for
1962-1963.
Accept Plan
Mrs. Elsie Fuller, assistant dean
of women, director of women's
housing, said these recommenda-
tions have been considered in the
housing committee and that they
are accepted for the next school
year. She commented that this is
the type of long range planning
that the University wants carried
out. Mrs. Fuller said that the
housing committee couldn't con-
sider more as it got bogged down.
Freshman Policy
She commented that all future
plans are dependent on the Uni-
versity's policy toward incoming
freshmen. If the number increases,
Mrs. Fuller said, the program may
be altered to accommodate them.
Activities and special privileges
formed the basis of most of the
rationale behind the decision by
Assembly. It was pointed out that
the existing special privileges ex-
tended to the residents of Little
can not be given to the other up-
perclass women in Mary Markley.
Also other privileges can't be given
to the women because of the exist-
ing situation.
Because activities geared toward
the interests of the upperclass are
not being provided, the report
stated, the lack of upperclass en-
thusiasm has hindered all activ-
ities.
Lack Enthusiasm
They added that one of the ob-
jectives of upperclass housing is
unity which Is best provided by
free-standing units.
In recommending Barbour or
Newberry, the Assembly believed
that many problems inherent in
Little would be resolved by their
establishment as upperclass hous-
ing.
Suit Women
The report said that activities
more suitable to upperclass women
could be carried out better in Bar-
bour or Newberry, as free-stand-
ing units. Their proximity to cam-
pus would also serve as an added
privilege for upperclassmen.
Mrs. Fuller said that Little will
not be the only upperclass housing
for next semester. The establish-
ment of Cambridge Hall and the
Svirtualupperclass status of Cou-
tens will also provide such hous-
ing.
To Postpone
Petition Date
The Executive Board of the
Assembly Association will extend
petitioning to Wednesday, April
6th, at 5 p.m., Assembly President
Joan Comiano, '61, announced
yesterday.
The positions open for peti-
tioning are second vice-president,
secreary, treasurer, public rela-
tions chairman, social chairman,
orientation chairman, projects

chairman, and activities and
scholarship chairman.

WASHINGTON, MP)-Missouri's
Sen. Stuart Symington formally
put himself into the running for
the Democratic presidential nomi-
nation yesterday.
He ducked primary tests of
strength against other contenders.
Symington's announcement-
which surprised nobody-was
moved up a couple of months.
This was believed to stem from
concern over headway being made
by Sen. John F. Kennedy of Mas-
sachusetts.

Four Given
Jail Terms
By ANDY HAWLEY
Four University students were
sentenced to ten days in jail yes-
terday and charged $275 each in
fines and costs for attempting to
procure an act of gross indecency
between males.
They were also placed on five
years probation.
The students were among eight
students and one professor who
pleaded guilty Mar. 12, following
a ruling by Circuit Judge James
R. Breakey that the charge was
both constitutional and sufficient-
ly explicit to warrant triel.
Gross Indecency
Henry T. Conlin, attorney for
the nine, had previously argued
that the "gross indecency" charge
violated federal and state consti-
tutions in that the crime was not
"sufficiently explicit to inform
those who are subject to it what
conduct on their part will render
them liable to its penalties."
Conlin had further complained
that police officers used"entrap-
ment" in arrest procedures.
He was referring to the meth-
ods of a group of special officers
who patrolled rest rooms in city
and University buildings and ar-
rested individuals after receiving
propositions.
Law Explicit
Judge Breakey's ruling was that
the law was sufficiently explicit
and that it had been used enough
by the courts "to become well
identified in the scope of its use."
He also said that there was no
evidence to show that entrapment
had been used; that the individu-
als had made the first move.
The students were among 28.
arrested in a two-month crack-
down.
Conlin asked that the names of
those sentenced not be released by
thepress. "What we are trying to
do is fit these individuals back in-'
to society," he said. "Publicizing'
their names will have the oppo-
site effect-that of driving them
out of society that much more."
Earlier in the afternoon, Attor-
ney Ralph C. Keyes revealed that
he intends to apply to the state
supreme court for permission to
appeal the Circuit Court's deci-
sion in the case of James P. Wiles,
who committed suicide in a St.
Louis hotel room recently.
Unconstitutional
Wiles- maintained until his
death that he was improperly
charged, that the act under which
eh was tried was unconstitution-
al, and that errors in rulings were

PARIS (A) - Premier Nikita S.
Khrushchev and President Charles
de Gaulle swapped conflicting
opinions on Germany in a private
talk yesterday.
Khrushchev emerged as mili-
tant as ever in opposition to what
he calls German revenge seekers.
The Soviet leader redoubled his
public attacks on Germany while
wooing France, now closely linked
with the Bonn Republic, to align
herself with the Soviet Union.
Meet in Rain
De Gaulle and Khrushchev met
at the Elysee Palace for two hours
and 10 minutes yesterday morning
with only their two interpreters
present. A spring rain pattered
down outside.
"Each laid out his point of view
on European problems," a French
spokesman said. "The greatest
emphasis was on Germany, for
both considered it the key prob-
lem in Europe "
Plan More Talk
Any discussion of a basis of
agreement was left to later ses-
sions. De Gaulle and Khrushchev
have scheduled about 10 hours
more for private talks before the
Soviet Premier winds up his pre-
summit visit April 3.
De Gaulle said only Wednesday
that the Germans had given up
the ambition to conquer Europe.
Bluntly taking issue, Khrushchev
told a reception this afternoon at
the Hotel de Ville, the Paris city
hall:
Militarism Changes
"We cannot take seriously these
efforts to show that it is not the
same militarism which existed be-
fore and that it is not to be
feared."
Khrushchev added that he is
ready to speak out whether he is
in France, Britain or the United
States to say without quibbling
that "under present conditions it
is a dangerous attitude to encour-
age militarism in West Germany."
Then he added:
"If Germany is given the op-
portunity to make and use nu-
clear arms and rockets the conse-
quences would be very grave."
Warns, Appeals
But where he warned France
against playing along with Ger-
many on one hand, he appealed
on the other for a restoration of
the old entente between France
and Russia.
"If in the past a Republican
France was able to accept an alli-
ance with Czarist Russia," he
said, "there are still more reasons
now why friendly relations should
develop between France and the
Union of Soviet Socialist Repub-
lics, where the flag carried from
its earliest days the words 'peace
and friendship among all
peoples'."

A partial survey of the literary

The Daily will print the final
findings of this study immediately

University Vice - president and
Dean of Faculties Marvin Niehuss
yesterday told the House Ways
and Means Committee of a "feel-
ing of lack of progress" that has
threatened damage to the Univer-
sity teaching staffs.

sed constitutional amend- state's capital outlay for the com-
ing year.

SEN. STUART SYMINGTON
... ducks primary
"It isn't true" that he acted now
because his strategists felt Ken-
nedy was drawing far ahead. He
did concede Kennedy appears to
be in front at this time.
His decision was made because
supporters around the country
were pleading with him to hurry
and say whether he would make
the race, Symington told news-
men.
He would be "honored" to have
Kennedy asbhis vice-presidential
running mate, Symington said,
but he indicated he was not inter-
ested in second place on the Dem-
ocratic ticket.
Battle Plans
As for his battle plan, Syming-
ton declared he does not intend
to campaign in any primaries, al-
though his name has been entered
in Oregon.
He noted there are contests in
only five state primaries involv-
ing 106 of a total of 1,521 con-
vention delegates. "I believe all
delegates should have a choice in
selecting the nominee," the Mis-
sourian added.
If he is not going to campaign
in any primaries, what kind of
strategy will he follow? A reporter
wanted to know.
"I'm going to try to see as many
people as I can and present my
program in an effort to convince
them I would be the best candi-
date to win in November," Sy-
mington replied. "And I'm going
to work a little harder."

District Court to appoint voting
referees to register qualified Ne-
groes in areas where the Court
has ruled discrimination is prac-
ticed.
"Whether or not this new civil
rights bill will be more effective
than the 1957 bill," says Prof.
Peek, "depends on how vigorously
it is enforced."
"Legally the Negro already has
these rights, but he is not being
allowed to exercise them. Voting
qualifications, determined indi-
vidually by each state, are often
unfairly employed. For example,
long periods of residence, the pay-
ment of a poll tax, and the pass-
ing of a literacy test are required."
"General public pressure or
apathy on the part of the Negro
could weaken this bill's influence,"
Prof. Peek asserted,
"Then too there is no way to
guard against intimidation." Al-
though voters may be assured of
protection at the polls, it is im-
possible to prevent him from be-
ing threatened at other times."
"Even when it is proved that
discrimination exists, it will take
some time to get the laws imple-
mented.

FROM FOREST TO NORTH U:
Co-Ed Pedestrian Ramp To Ease Traffic Jams

Nearly , a dozen Republicans
joined Democrats to support the
proposal. The second defeat killed
it for the year.
The House also turned down the'
Senate-approved bill for a $10 mil-
lion bond issue to finance state;
parks expansion and improve-
ments. The 53-46 vote fell three
votes short of the minimum pass-
age requirement, but lawmakers
agreed to reconsider the decision
April 13, two days before the
scheduled adjournment date.
The bill proposed to finance the
bond issue with a $2 annual auto
admission fee to state parks and
mittance.
Democrats lost a move to pay
up to 50 cents for a one-day ad-'
f or the program with money cur-
rently collected from the sale of
timber, oil and other products from
state-owned land and with leasing
of mineral rights and sale of sub-
merged land.
In other action taken by the
Legislature yesterday the "seal of
quality" plan for promoting Mich-
igan farm products met its doom
for the twelfth year in a row.
It was killed by secret ballot in
a closed-door meeting of the Sen-
ate Agriculture Committee. A
Democratic move to revive the bill
and bring it to the floor for a
record vote failed, 9 to 21.
The motion to discharge the
Committee was defeated on a
straight party line vote, with Dem-
ocratic followers of Gov. Williams

Improve Morale
In the Senate's capital outlay
bill, the University is to receive
$1.1 million for the construction
of a cyclotron and $400,000 for
the planning of a Physics-Astro-
nomy-Institute of Science and
Technology building. Regent Eu-
gene B. Power told the committee
yesterday that these plans will
"do much to improve morale"
among faculty members.
When the Senate capital outlay
proposal was announced University
President Harlan Hatcher called
it "a little disappointing."
"It doesn't go far enough for us
--we also need immediate plan-
ning money for the second unit of
the Medical Science Building. We
wanted funds for the second half
of the Fluids Engineering Build-
ing, too."
The School of Music building
"ought to be built and in use right
this minute," President Hatcher
said. The University has set the
School of Music building at the
head of its capital outlay request
for several years, but the Legisla-
ture has never approved the ap-
propriation for it.
The Senate's action has ended
a virtual three-year ban on new
state construction.
