I I Msu Continues Compulsory ROTC, NEW RADAR -- President Harlan Hatcher talks with Prof. William Boyd, director of Willow Run Laboratories, at a luncheon at which the new type of portable, ground-based radar unit which the Laboratories have recently developed was unveiled. Show Radar Unit At 'U'Laboratory Ground-Based Device Would Follow Distant Troops, Supply Movements By VANCE INGALLS A revolutionary portable ground-based radar device for detecting moving targets, now in its final stages of development by the Uni- versity's Willow Run Laboratories in cooperation with the United States Army Signal Corps, was unveiled yesterday at a luncheon at Willow Run Airport. Prof. Joseph A. Boyd, head of research and development at the Willow Run Laboratories, said the system, placed on a vantage point far from enemy lines, would allow the operator to follow troop and Professor Cites Dialect Differences Similarities found in Slavic lan- guages are not at a widely differ- ing literal level, but at the popu- lar levels of dialect, Prof. Boris o. Unbegaun, in his discussion of "Language and Civilization in the Slavic World" last night. Prof. Unbegaum is a visiting professor at Columbia University, E PROF. BORIS UNBEGAUN ... Slavic language expert who has taught comparative Sla- vonic philology at Oxford Univer- sity since 1953. Prof. Unbegaun considered his conclusion regarding the similar- ity of Slavic dialectical speech his most significant one. He contrasts this feature of the Slavic langu- ages with the Romance tongues in which the literal level is more widely intelligible to two speakers of different languages. The Slavic dialects conserve the basic phonetics of the root langu- aoge, but the phonetics of the Romance languages destroy the Latin word. A second conclusion reached by Prof. Unbegaum is that the growth of the Slavic literal language de- pends upon the social and his- torical conditions of the time.

Prof. Boyd said the system can distinguish between tanks, other vehicles, and troops by means of both audio and visual signals transmitted to the operator. Plot Movements By translating the signals onto paper, the operator can plot all movements in a wide area in any weather. The only hindrance is the terrain, since the unit func- tions on a line of sight basis. The portable radar unit fulfills the requirements for effective combat equipment, since it is "lightweight, portable, easy to maintain and can be set up in about 20 minutes by three men," Prof. Boyd added. "Details of the project are still classified material, and will be released within a few weeks," Prof. Boyd stated. University President H a r la n Hatcher, main speaker at the luncheon, commended the work of "Project Michigan," instituted in 1953, and termed such research and development projects "the distinguishing feature of a univer- sity of this kind." University Story "These developments constitute the story of the University, and we are significantly pleased by this advancement," President Hat- cher said. "University funds are being well spent if we can an- nounce an advancement such as this every few years." Noting that many graduates, undergraduates, and faculty mem- bers are participating in the pro- gram, Hatcher said Project Mich- igan "is extremely important part- time wprk for students, since they are exposed to modern problems in their fields." After Action Board Votes By Faculty Turns Down Request Of Academic Senate By ROBERT FARRELL The Michigan State University Board of Trustees yesterday voted four to two to continue compul- sory military training at MSU. This vote was a final decision on the question of abolishing the program, originally raised by stu- dents through the "Michigan State News" and later brought up in the faculty senate, which voted 400 to 248 in favor of abolishing the program by 1961. Under the system presently in force at MSU, all able-bodied male, non-veteran students are required to enroll in the Reserve Officers Training Corps program (ROTC) for their freshman and sophomore years. They then have the option of continuing in the program or not. Program In Effect This same compulsory program is in effect at 167 other American colleges and universities, while many others offer ROTC on a purely voluntary basis. While voting to continue com- pulsory ROTC, the Trustees ad- mitted the possibility of changing the program, asking the faculty to submit recommendations for changes which they would like instituted in the program. Editor Susan Price of the "State News" said that this seemed to be due to general agreement among the Trustees that the program could be improved upon, or the controversy would never have come up. "State News" Night Editor Wil- liam Kielman said that many stu- dents were "indignant" at the de- cision, and plans were being form- ulated for a march on the state capitol in protest. Requirements Met During the debate on the issue, Warren M. Huff said: "We are deeply involved in a cold war now -it could be a fatal mistake for this Board to do away with com- pulsory ROTC." "Any program that is compul- sory just doesn't keep up with the times," Don Stevens answered. "It is against the fundamental dem- ocratic principles." Citing the stand of Assistant Secretary of Defense Charles C. Finucane that the choice should be left to the individual schools, Jan B. Vanderploeg said that "na- tional requirements can be met without compulsory ROTC." Regents May Discuss Fees The Regents will hold their monthly meeting today. A possible fee raise for both in- state and out-state University stu- dents is expected to come up for discussion. The agenda includes appoint- ments to the chairmanships of several departments, changes in the administrative handling of the University's Fresh Air Camp and the granting of leaves of absence. * * House O n2 Passes * * 159 Roll-Call Vote O~ * DISCRIMINATION: Picketers Still Open To Query By PETER STUART Investigation continues today concerning two of the 15 anti- discrimination demonstrators ap- prehended here Saturday, with the group's attorney from Pontiac scheduled to examine the situa- tion first hand. City police have not as yet made known the names of the two dem- onstrators still under investiga- tion. David E. Utley, Pontiac attorney retained by 15 demonstrators Sat- urday, told The Daily last night he planned to travel to Ann Arbor today to make a study of certain irregularities apparent in the pro- ceedings. Charged or Dismissed He questioned the manner in which the investigation is being conducted. "Those students should not be held under investigation for such a period of time," he ex- plained. "They should be charged with dispatch or else dismissed." Both the city police detective bureau and assistant city attorney Samuel J. Elden said yesterday their investigations are still in- complete. The detectives are checking wit- nesses who had observed the two demonstrators (who were later ar- rested together) and the assistant city attorney plans more legal re- search, Elden said. Reneging Agreement "Apparently someone is reneg- ing on the agreement we made Tuesday," Utley said, referring to his conference with the assistant city attorney and Attorney Harold Norris of the American Civil Lib- erties Union, Detroit. "At that time we found certain decisions by the Supreme Court which in effect make the ordinance governing scattering of bills not apply, because it conflicts with the First Amendment. "As for the ordinance governing littering, we contended littering was done by the recipients of the leaflets, not by those handing them out, and not in the immediate vicinity." The 15 arrested Saturday were among over 50 who were picket- ing three Ann Arbor chain store branches-the S. S. Kresge Co., the F. W. Woolworth Co., and The Cousins Shop. They were distrib- uting handbills explaining - why they were picketing and asking support for their protest. KENNEDY, HUMPHREY: Candidates Deny Religious Issue SEN. JOHN KENNEDY ...not 'Catholic candidate' WASHINGTON (P)-Sen. John F. Kennedy (D-Mass) ripped into the religious issue yesterday with the assertion that he is not "a Catholic candidate for president." Following Kennedy to the plat- form before the American Society of Newspaper Editors, Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey (D-Minn) denounc- ed those who have injected relig- ion into the Democratic presi- dential nomination contest.1 Humphrey said he doesn't want to be nominated by anti-Catholic votes and wouldn't want to be president if that meant his party would be split in a controversy over sects. Humphrey, a Congregationalist, is battling Kennedy in predomin Students Get Fulbrights Four University students have received Fulbright Scholarships for study abroad during the 1960- 61 school year. Martin M. Herman, Grad., has received an award for the study of musicology at the University of Paris, Faculte des Lettres. Thomas R. Detwyler, '60, will study botany at the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand. Robert G. Crowder, '61, will study psychology at the Univer- sity of Bordeaux and Faculte des Lettres in Paris, France. Gerald R. Humel, Grad., has re- ceiver an award for the study of music composition at Hochschule fuer Musik in Berlin, Germany. The University's winners were recommended by the campus Ful- bright committee and the Insti- tute of International Education. antly Protestant West Virginia. Kennedy's religion has become an issue in the campaign preceding the May 10 primary. Presents Program Without mentioning this ques- tion, Sen. Stuart Symington (D- Mo) laid out before the editors a program to boost the nation's economic and defensive strength to meet the world challenge "for economic and ideological sur- vival." Symington also is a candi- date for the Democratic presiden- tial nomination but is not entered in the West Virginia primary. Kennedy, in an emotion-charg- ed talk that kept the editors list- ening intently, ticked off a long list of reasons why he said his Catholicism should not handicap his bid for the presidency. He got rousing applause when he ended. When no questions were forthcoming from the audience, ASNE president J. R. Wiggins, executive editor of the Washington Post, told Kennedy: "I don't know if you have silenced your critics, but you have silenced questions." Votes In Senate Kennedy began with the asser- tion that "I do not speak for the Catholic church on issues of pub- lic policy-and no one in that church speaks for me." He said he had voted often in the Senate against the wishes of many Cath- olics. "The fact is," he said, "that the Catholic church is not a monolith -it is committed in this country to the principles of individual lib- erty-and it has no claim over my conduct as a public officer sworn to do the public interest." The Massachusetts senator said he isn't asking any voter to sup- port him just to prove that the American people aren't bigoted. "I have never suggested that those opposed to me are thereby anti-Catholic," he said. "There SEN. HUBERT HUMPHREY ... denies religious issue are legitimate grounds for sup- porting other candidates. "Nor have I ever suggested that the Democratic party is required to nominate me or face a Catholic revolt in November. I do not be- lieve that to be true. ..." Kennedy called "highly dis- tasteful" suggestions that he quit the presidential nomination race and accept second place on the ticket. He said that "assumes that Catholics are a pawn on the polit- ical chess-board, moved hither and yon, and somehow 'bought off' by the party putting in the party barred from the top." Kennedy said the "only legiti- mate question that could be asked second spot a Catholic whom the was: "Would you, as President of the United States be responsive in any way to ecclesiastical pres- sures or obligations of any kind that might in any fashion influ- ence or interfere with your con- duct of that office in the national' interest?" "I have answered that question many times," he said. "My answer was and is 'no'." Expect Ike To Approve Inunediately Law Aims To Help Negroes' Franchise WASHINGTON (f-The House, with a 288-95 roll call and a figurative sigh of relief, passed the 1960 Civil Rights bill yesterday and sent it to President Dwight D. Eisenhower. - The bill, which aims primarily at helping Southern Negroes vote, has been the most time-consum- ing and talked-over issue Congress has tackled this year. Its passage left Congress free to whip through the rest of its work and adjourn before the na- tional political conventions in July. No other legislative issue is likely to require nearly as much time. There was no doubt Eisenhower would sign the bill. He had al- ready passed the word he was satisfied with it and yesterday his Attorney General, William P. Rog- ers, issued a statement saying: Substantial Impact "Its impact, once the expected legal challenges have been dis- posed of in the normal judicial process, will be substantial, I be- lieve, both in establishing the right to vote of those who have been discriminated against on ac- count of race or color and by de- terring future discriminations by persons acting under color of state law." The bill goes further than de- sired by Southern members of Congress, but not nearly as far as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and some othr supporters wished. In putting it together, Congress refused to grant broad authority for the United States Attorney General to bring injunction suits in support of Civil Rights gen- erally. Tabled, and killed, were proposals to declare the Supreme Court's 1954 opinion against seg- regation -in the schools to be the "supreme law of the land" and to grant federal aid to communities complying with the court decision. Calls Bill 'Fraud' The NAACP has called the bill a fraud and said it actually "makes it harder and not easier for Ne- groes to vote." On the final roll call the ques- tion was whether the House should accept Senate amendments, which were generally not substantial, and send the bill straight to the White House. The majority of 288 was made up of 165 Democrats and 123 Re- publicans. On the losing side were 83 Democrats and 12 Republicans. Had the motion not carried, the bill might have been delayed an indefinite time in the House and in any House-Senate committee set up to compromise the two dif- ferent versions. Exam Debate Set for May Thursday, May 12, was selected as the date for the student-faculty conference on senior year compre- hensive examinations by the liter- ary college steering committee last night. The conference, "not just a lec- ture or a stylized debate," as Asso- ciate Dean James H. Robertson put it, will feature a panel discus- sion followed by audience ques- tions and comment on the bene- Rights Bill ,I S ,_. ,., HUGE, FANTASTIC MADHOUSE: Michigras Preparations Metamorphize Fte Council To Aid Fund Drive, Refuses To Support Koch By PHILIP SHERMAN Student Government Council voted aid to Southern Students' Fund Drive and turned down a move to write a letter supporting Prof. Leo Koch, former University of Illinois professor, at its last meeting. It approved the motion by League President Katy Johnson, '60, to give $100 to the Fund Drive, the money coming from Homecoming profits. It also approved Miss Johnson's motion that it should send letters to all "student organizations and housing units informing them of the Council's concern that this campus' student groups financially aid our fellow students in the South."
