SALES TAX SQUEEZES POOR See Page 4 Y1 Seventieth Year of Editorial F:-eedom 7aii RAIN, COLDER Iligh-28 Low-25 Rain this morning, turning to snow later today LXX, No.85 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY11. 1960 FIVE CENTS EIGHT P te Senate Initiate Vaste Probe LANSING M -- The Senate mwrapped itself up in election year politics yesterday. Aside from oratory and political fencing, the main fruit of its la- bors was a decision to investigate government waste and passage of a bill to put new restrictions on dental laboratories. Maneuvering on the constitu- tional convention issue yielded a conclusion for majority Republi- cans that they would do well to do nothing until after hearings on the subject beginning today. Senators put off at least until today a vote on re-establishing a special committee to search for irregularities in conduct, of the state's road building program. To Vqte on Probe Sen. John H. Stahlin (R-Beld- lug), who asked $20,000 for the highway department probe, was accused by Democrats of squan- dering $3,000 in an investigation that ran out of time in January. Sen. Carlton H. Morris (R-Kal- amazoo), said that in opposing Stahlin and questioning motives behind the "waste-in-govern- ment" proposal Democrats were striking a ridiculous pose. "You're trying to say $20,000 is too much to spend to inquire into an operation that spends $100 million a year," Morris said. Lodge Seeks Probe The economy probe, sought chiefly by Sen. L. Harvey Lodg,. (R-Drayton Plains), will be fi- nanced with a $7,500 appropria- tion. Two Democrats, Sens. Charles S. Blondy of Detroit and Philip Rahoi of Iron Mountain, credited Lodge with doing a good job with a similar committee in 1958. Blondy said that on the other hand the Stahlin committee which was forced to disband aft- er hearings last fall had a "Ro- man holiday at public expepse" and accomplished nothing. Dental Bill Passed The dental laboratory bill, ap- proved 28 to 4 and referred to the House, would prohibit making and repair of dentures except on written order from a dentist. The order now does not have to be written. Republican senators caucused for an hour on what to do, if any- thing ,about a resolution to put the League of Women Voters compromise plan for a constitu- tional convention on the Novem- er election ballot. None have much enthusiasm for the idea, but Paul D. Bagwell, the party's titular head, has made con-con one of his favorite tis- Seasonwein Quits Council Position Action Postponed on Sigma Kappa; Election Petitions Not Required By JEAN SPENCE~R and ROBERT FARRELL, In its last action last night, the Student Government Council accepted the resignation of Roger Seasonwein, '61, as its executive vice-president and moved to elect a member to fill this post in its first action next week. In explaining his action, Seasonwein said that he felt he could no longer accept the general nature and direction of the Council as a complete body, although he- would remain on SGC to work in its many valuable areas. The Council accepted the report and recommendation of the Sigmay Kappa Study Committee and tabled a motion to consider the status of Sigma Kappa sorohty at present. The committee recommended that the Council consider previous; actions regarding Sigma Kappa's status not binding on the present Council. SGC president John Feldkamp, '61, said this in no way implies that SGC will or will not take ac-° tion on the case, but that the Council will base consideration of Sigma Kappa on only three con siderations: the Cornell and Tufty incidents in 1956, the resolution of of the 1958 summer convention of Sigma Kappa and any other ac- tion or lack thereof of Sigma Kap- pa up to the present. A motion to consider on Marcb 2 whether Sigma Kappa meets the conditions for permanent recogni- tion as set forth in University regulations, after collection of pertinent information by the Council executive committee, was tabled. An amendment calling for the executive committee.to gather in- formation on whether Sigma Kap- pa now discriminates according to the definition of discrimination set forth in the November Regent's Bylaw was also tabled. Eleceton rules were approved, including one major change. Can- didates are no longer required to submit petitions signed by 350 registered University students. s f f -e MSU PRESIDENT *.. education costs rising De Gaulle Institutes Reforms PARIS (A) - Pres. Charles de Gaulle and his cabinet last nighi ordered sweeping reforms in Al- geria;1lolowing the nine-day Jan- uary insurrection by right-wing French in Algiers. The psychological warfare de- partment of the army - some of whose officers had sympathized withdthe insurgents -was dis- csolved, apparently to get the army out of politics. The territorial home guard units, some of which had helped man the insurrection barricades, will be broken up. Individual ter- ritorials henceforth will be called for periods of active service as re- quired. Reorganize Police In a far-flung reorganization of police services, police in Algeria will serve directly under the civil- ian delegate-general, the top gov- ernment- official in Algeria, and not under a military chief. New officers are being sent from France to bolster the force. Steps were approved to strengthen the. powers of prefects (local governors). Part of their duties had been handled by mili- tary officers because of the emer- gency caused by the five-year-old Algerian nationalist rebellion. It was also decided to hold lo- cal elections throughout Algeria before summer. To Reform Courts Government decrees will reform military courts in Algeria.,~ Three generals were removed from their posts: Jacques Faure, commanding in the Grande Kaby- lie region east of Algiers, Henri Mirambeau, commanding in the southern Oran department and Andre Gribius, commanding in the western Sahara. { Reform orders were announced nearlytwohours after a two and one-half hour cabinet session with de Gaulle. IThe changeover in police organ- ization has begun, Information Minister Louis Terreonoire told reporters. Replace Chiefs "Departmental chiefs of the Al- gerian police are being replaced by men sent from France," he said. "Those stationed in Algeria are being brought home. The govern- ment is taking the police services directly in hand." The administrative reorganiza- tion would return powers from the military to the civil authority. The military in Algeria took over virtually all powers after the May 13, 1958 uprising that led to de Gaulle's return to power. Some powers then were returned to the civilian prefects. RMsore Function The latest change means that, while the army remains respon- sible for public order, the prefects can function normally again. Military court reform will ac- celerate legal procedures dealing with nationalist terrorism, Terre- noire said. The cabinet announced no de- cision on a date for de Gaulle's visit to Algeria. He had originally planned it for Feb. 5 For 5 New Williams Hannah Says e e sCsts Rising DETROIT (R)-John A. Hannah, president of Michigan State Uni- versity, said here yesterday the cost of higher education is going higher. And, in effect, he told the De- troit Rotary Club the cost must ygo up if America is to maintain its role as a first-class nation. "We can't delude ourselves by talking about holding the line," Hannah said in a speech, adding: "To try to hold the line in tax support for our colleges and uni- versities would leave us with two alternatives - lower quality edu- cation for more students or the same quality for fewer students. "Both are bad." Hannah said that Michigan had worked itself into a financial cor- ner by providing more and more services while holding down the taxes that support such services, and in a period of inflation where each dollar buys less and less. ""The blame, in the end," he said, "mfist rest on us as taxpay- ers. We have not insisted on being taxed enough to pay for all we demand." Committee To'Examine 'U' Cheating Plans To Publicize Results in Statement By KATHLEEN MOORE A committee of 10 literary col- lege seniors began a look at "the problem of intellectual dishones- ty" among the colleges' students yesterday, with plans to publicize their results. At its first meeting, the group started formulating a "thorough- ly definitive statement" of what constitutes intellectual dishon- esty, John Eisberg, chairman of the group, said. The committee hopes to have it published in The Daily. A second project will take the form of a pamplet to be distrib- uted to "at least all entering freshmen" beginning this fall. Contents will include a discus- sion of "the question of dishonesty at the University" and the fresh- men's "responsibility to the Uni- versity as students." I The student committee will be -working with the faculty on "looking into factors in the class- room which encourage dishon- esty." But the i"concept of an honor system in the literary college"will not be considered at its meetings, Eisberg said ,because past Stu- dent Government Council studies have shown the inadvisability of such a program. Eisberg and James H. Robert- son, associate dean of the literary college, felt there was a need for a study of the problem of cheat- ing from the student viewpoint. Nine other college seniors were contacted and the students "formed a committee, with the approval of Dean Robertson." Members were chosen on the basis of their outstanding records in academics and activities, Eis- berg explained. The group consists of Eisberg, Maurice Zilber, Martin Newman, Michael Sklar. William Ransom, Daily Editor Thomas Turner, Jo Hardee, Carol Holland, Ann Doni- ger and Gretchen Burgie. Heads Discuss Co-Ordinator For Colleges The state's nine tax-supported colleges and universities are con- tinuing their search for a co-or- dinator, University President Har- lan Hatcher reported last night following a meeting yesterday of the State Council of College Pres- idents in Detroit. Hatcher said the council dis- cussed the question but reached no decision. The office of co-or- dinator, Edgar L. Harden, presi- dent of Northern Michigan Col- lege at Marquette and chairman of the council, claims, would en- able the nine institutions to sub- mit a unified budget to the Legis- lature, help correct duplication of courses and otherwise co-ordinate the efforts of all the schools. PROPOSED MEDICAL CENTER ADDITION-This wing shown above, left, will be added to the medical school should state legislators agree to grant the funds for new construction which Gov. G. Mennen Williams will ask. WORST IN DECADE: Storm Sweeps Midwest, Passes by Ann Arbor The worst storm of a decade swept over the Midwest yesterday while Ann Arbor remained relatively untouched by the violence. . While this locale was subjected to freezing rains yesterday after- noon and evening, the rest of the central states were buried by. a blizzard that left vast areas isolated and helpless. The U. S. Weather Bureau reports that the worst of the storm has passed, with the low pressure center moving east. Ann Arbor residents can expect a narrow band of precipitation to pass over this morning providing more freezing showers. Rain To Snow Later today, the rain will turn to snow and much colder weather is due by evening. Last night's low was 25 degrees, today's expected To Ask Backin ' B111diug Engineering Structures Get Priority Second Medical Uni Included in Prograin By CAROL LEVENTEN , Gov. G.

The piorit list was developed in 1953 an has been revised and submitte again to the Legislature yearl Vice-President for Business an Finance Wilbur K. Pierpont e plained yesterday. The original University priorit list and total cost of the struc tures include: the second unit t the fluids engineering buildip ($2,355,000), physics, and astron omy buildings ($4,330,000), heat ing plant and services buildin ($7630,000) second unit for t Medical Center ($10 million) Dental building ($10,100,000) school of education building ($4, 750,000). Others are the architecture col lege building ($5,290,000); Nort Campus roads and utilities ($1, 635,000); Institute of Science an Technology ($3,815,000) and th mathematics and computing cen ter ($4,750,000), Costs Rise Pierpont noted the state coul have saved 10 to 15 per cent of the increased costs now inlude in the estimates if constructio had been continued at the 195 level during the last three year "For the last couple of year we have increased our cost esti mates. by about nine per cent, he said. The University considers all th buildings at the top of the list o equal priority. "We think that the buildin program for the University ough to be well-balanced to meet thi needs of all its parts," Pierpon said. He explained that the Legisla, ture recognized the music schoo building in 1956, and the Univer sity accepted bids for constru- tion in 1957. YD's Oppose NDEA Oaths In Resolution CalvM College Accepts New Building Plans The Calvin College Board o Trustees has approved a mastel plan for the school's new Knoll- crest campus on a 166-acre tract in suburban Grand Rapids. An immediate target date of September, 1961, was set to begin using the first new college struc- tures: a men's dormitory, a wo- men's dormitory and adjoining dining hall, and a library-class- room building. The cost of these projects was estimated at $2,800,- 000. Buildings on the Knollcrest campus will be grouped into four main areas: academic, residential, non-academic and seminary. The new Calvin College Seminary al- ready is under construction on the Knollcrest campus. More than 20 separate buildings on the new campus were expect-. ed to be in use by 1975 accommo- dating a student body of 3,500.

An informal poll revealed the six-man board was evenly split on the proposal. A tie vote would re- ROGER SEASONWEIN ...resigns from Council high will be 28. Hazardous drivingl warnings are up for the entire state. The lower portion of Michi- gan is expected to freeze over, while the northern lower penin- sula has had heavy snow. Heavy northerly winds through- out the state will lower tempera- tures, and in the north, provide the extra problem of drifting snow. While this area was let off easily, the rest of the Midwest bore the brunt of the storm. The raging blizzards dumped more than a foot of snow on parts of northern Illi- nois and southern Wisconsin and up to 15 inches on Iowa. Worst in 25 Years The storm was the worst in 25, years in northwestern Illinois. Drifts up to 10 feet high left; Rockford, an industrial city of 110,000 population in northwestern Illinois all but isolated. Only one road, a tollway several miles east of the city, remained open. A 104- car freight train was snowed in for several hours near Rockford, unable to move in either direction. Milwaukee reeled under 151 inches of snow with more still falling. Wind gusts exceeding 55 MPH sent waves 40 feet high1 churning across Lake Michigan.- With the worst of the storm having passed over, the Midwest is now in the process of digging out. In a number of areas speed" is important. The village of Forreston, Illinois was completely snowed in and its two stores had only one gallon of milk and a dozen loafs of bread for the 1,100 inhabitants.f I' Report Mysterious Satellite Orbiting Earth over Poles WASHINGTON W)-United States tracking stations were reported yesterday to have noted what appears to be a large, dark satellite. orbijing the earth over the poles.E Reports in military quarters are that the mystery object, picked up several weeks ago, is far heavier than anything yet put up by the Official SG( United States. On report circulating in the Pentagon was that the unidentified Feb. 15-- space object may weigh 15 tons. The object was said to be emitting no Feb. 18- radio signals, a fact that has complicated a precise determination of Feb.'24- its orbit.'Feb.c24- All these reports were unofficial. The Defense Department de- March 15 clined any comment.

If you want a campus activity try The Daily. Trainee meeting, will be held at 7:15 p.m. today and 4:15 p.m. tomorrow in th( Student Publications Bldg., 42C Maynard. What has The Daily to offer? "A rich educational experience," Charles Kozoll, '60NR, personnel director, claims. "Practical experi- ence," Morley Gwirtzman, '6Ph, associate business manager, divul- ges. "A photography training pro- gram has been set up to help terested trainees," Peter Dawson, '60SM, declared. Dawson is in charge of getting photographers, and he and Bill Maund, The Daily's darkroom technician and photography advisor, have set up "an A-1 program." Maund will train photographers in picture taking (all The Daily asks of photographers) and, if they de- sire, in darkroom work. "We pay for our pictures," Daw- son added. "And no experience is neces- sary," he averred, pointing out that The Daily can, train almost anyone. The business staff is seeking trainees, too. Gwirtzman declares they are trained and put to use- ful work quickly. Jobs in local, national and classified advertising, accounts, art, and layout are all available. Experience on the business staff will prove valuable for anyone who wishes to go on to such jobs as accounting, advertising or news- paper management after gradua- tion. Kozoll continued that the edi- torial staff has "an A-1 program" for training people and everyone is welcome. Writing begins almost immediately as does desk work. Bomb Thrown In Little Rock of Country's Great Strides' The experts have not ruled out, however, the possibility that the silent space object Is an upper stage of a previously launched and announced satellite. Only one American - launched object remains in orbit around the poles. That is the burned out rocket Section of Discoverer VIII, launched last Nov. 20. The cap- sule of that vehicle ejected but was never recovered.

"We are a young country, which believes in economy with its of- ficials," he said. "We are kept too busy here for many vacations." Alam visited the University to donate books on Pakistan and Islam to the general library. Struck by Changes On each of his short vacations to his. country, Alam is struck by believe their "country's problems are their own problems. Discover Resources "We have discovered more un- tapped resources under our feet; 400 million cubic feet of gas have been discovered since independ- ence. "Rivers are now dammed, to use for both irrigation and power, These Pakistanis are the same people, but they are now looking around." The emphasis in education has Great strides have also been made in technology, Alam said. Upon each visit he notes a tre- mendous increase in factories and industries. Much of this industry is making use of Pakistan's raw materials such as jute and cotton. Exports Products Instead of importing these finished products, Pakistan is now actually able to export some. She is actively soliciting foreign in- vestments in order to produce more.
