West Quadrangle Council unanimously voted last night to "go on record as asking a just reconsideration of the Joint Judiciary Council decision to suspend two East Quadrangle students from the Univer- sity, in view of the apparent haste and unusual nature of the decision." The Council made clear that, by endorsing the statement, West Quad was not favoring panty raids, or saying the students should not --be suspended, but just asking re- consideration. A dv°To Hear Question dvertising The question of the suspensions will be brought up at the Inter- P blu Quadrangle Council meeting at 4:30 p.m. tomorrow, President Dan Rosemergy, '61, indicated.

NIXON .. . news of victory Nixon Leads In Indiana Primary By The Associated Press Vice President Richard M. Nix- on overcame an early deficit to take a widening lead last night over Sen. John F. Kennedy (D- Mass), in an Indiana primary test of their comparative voter appeal as Presidential possibilities. With 2,538 of 4,261 precincts re- porting, Nixon had 257,249 votes in the Republican presidential preference ballot. Kennedy had 212,174. Meanwhile, Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey (D-Minn), dealt a de- cisive defeat to Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore), in their head-to-head presidential popularity contest in the District of Columbia. The two men ran separately, but their vote totals were watched for a possible clue to their com- parative pulling power. Nixon had only token opposition from a Negro lawyer, Frank R. Beckwith of Indianapolis who polled only 13,073 votes in 2,583 precincts. Kennedy, too, had nominal op- position but his two rivals-Lar Daly of Chicago and John H. Lat- ham, a retired pipefitter from Rockville, Ind., gathered 48,000 votes between them, also in 2,583 precincts. Political observers were not sure how to interpret this vote for Daly, an avowed "America First" candidate, and Latham. Kennedy campaigned in Indi- ana and predicted last Friday he would outpoll Nixon there, despite the state traditional Republican- ism. Nixon did no personal cam- paigning there, but his supporters went all-out for him in a news- paper-radio-TV campaign to get out a Nixon vote. FINAL VOTE:. TO Discuss Bias Ruling At Council By PHILIPSHERMAN Student Government Council will take the final vote today on the motion on non-discrimination in student organizations. Amendments to the motion will also be considered. The Council will also consider a proposal to abolish J-Hop, the dance's central committee chair- man and hear a motion by Roger Seasonwein, '61, and Al Haber, 6 to sponsor a non-violent demon- stration commemorating the an- niversary of the Supreme Court school Integration decision. The general regulation of the non-discrimination motion reads: "All student organizations shall select membership and afford op- portunities to members on the basis of personal merit and not race, color, religion, creed, national origin or ancestry." Committee Assists The Council would act on all violations, assisted by a Committee on Membership in Student Or- ganizations which would carry out investigations of alleged viola- tions and make recommendations. First amendments to the motion to be considered concerns composi- tion of the committee the motion would set up to assist the Council in carrying out its clauses. Under the proposal, four of the commit- tee's seven members would be stu- dents, with the other three to come from the faculty and ad- ministration. The present composition clause specifies three students, two fac- ulty members and two administra- tors. Committee Members Two other amendments concern appointment of committee mem- bers. One would specify appoint- ment of two student members each May. Present proposed terms of office are two years. The second would limit member- ship to one year, on a renewable basis. It adds that two students and two other committee members be named every May, and two stu- dents and one other member every December. The Council is responsible for appointing all members to the committee, on advice of nomi- nating groups. Adds to Powers A fourth amendment would add to the committee's powers. In dealing with secret organizations allegedly in violation of the regu- lation, the committee can request relevant information that would otherwise remain private, the amendment specifies. Among the committee's present proposed powers: formulating pol- icies to further the regulation and making recommendations to the Council on them; hearing cases involving violation and recom- mending disciplinary action to the Council; and developing educa- tional programs. The committee, as proposed, must report to the Council at least once every semester. The committee must make pub- lic its standard operating pro- cedures by next Oct. 15. The pro- cedures are subject to Council approval. Ike Appeals To Curb Political Rivalry CIVIL RIGHTS: Challenge' Committee Hears New Program By LINDA REISTMAN The "Challenge" steering committee worked on the group's pro- gram for next semester and elected officers at its meeting yesterday. Roger Seasonwein, '61, head of the committee working on the program-American Civil Rights and Liberties-presented the list of subjects. They included: 1) Education-Problems within the individual institutions and the freedom of the institution in the United States will be taken up. The group extended this topic to include high schools as well as college institutions. 2) Government-Included in this subject would be censorship, visa rulings, immigration and alien and sedition laws, Congressional com- mittees, and problems of security in governmental positions, the Justice department and executive power. Public Morality 3) Public Morality-Discussions would center around the prob- lems of teaching religion in the public schools, religion and poli- tics, "Blue Laws," and movie and book censorship. 4) Foreign perception of Ameri- can Civil Rights and Liberties -I The group plans to limit this sub- ject to a discussion of national civil rights problems only, pos- sibly including speeches from for- eign students' views on the United States in this area. 5) Discrimination -- Compari- sons and contrasts will be made, between attitudes of a Northern and Southern city in the areas of racial and religious discrimina- tion. Labor and Business 6) Big Labor and Big Business-- "Challenge" will deal with the is- sues posed by labor unions, small business and labor - management relations with the aid of prominent guest speakers representing these positions. The group selected Hugh Wite- meyer, '61, as its spokesman. Har- vey Armstrong, '62, was elected treasurer. Name Randall Republicans' City Chairman Norman J. Randall was named Republican city chairman last night at the annual GOP city committee honor banquet. The banquet was held at the American Legion Hall to honor workers in the party organiza- tion. Lawrence B. Lindemer, the party's State Central Committee chairman, addressed the meeting briefly. Vice-chairmen for the city GOP are Mrs. James Nichols and Mrs. Charles Reinhart. to Congress * Mediocrity A Possibi ly --Lndemer "Too frequently we stress equal- ity so greatly that perhaps we come to believe in the equality of mediocrity," state Republican chairman Lawrence B. Lindemeer observed last night. Speaking at the annual Fra- ternity-Sorority Presidents' Ban- quet at the Washtenaw Country Club, Lindemer stressed organiza- tional work depends on voluntary contributions of individuals. People often reflect a lack of purpose, or sense of being unwanted, when they say "why bother?" Need Responsibility Responsibiilty belongs to every- one, to do the best he can, but we develop the tendency to let some- one else do it for us. This is true in government, which is daily becoming more a part of our lives. We should do the work ourselves, he said. "There is a misconception that politics is underhanded," he added. "On both sides of the poli- tical fence the vast majority of citizens involved in politics are of the highest quality, serving everyone.," Awards Presented The dinner was highlighted by the presentation of outstanding Member awards to Jane Thomp- son, '61, Alpha Phi, and William Ramson, '60, Phi Gamma Delta. The awards are based upon schol- arship and campus and fraternity or sorority leadership. Toastmaster for the evening was Kent Vana, '62L, past presi- dent of Hectorians, fraternity honorary. Dewitt Baldwin, head pf the Office of Religious Affairs, gave the invocation, and enter- tainment was provided by The Friars. sPresented ts, Reporters , a Washington newspaper corres- n the 1960 Pulitzer Prize in fiction "Advise and Consent."

EISENHOWER S... responsibilities of Congress Peek, Lamb View Move By STUART DOW "President Dwight D. Eisenhow- er's actions are typical of any elec- tion year," Prof. George A. Peek of the political science department said last night. "Each party will accuse the other of practicing partisanship and say they are practicing states- menship. Both parties are equally guilty of this. It is the way the game is played.' "This is neither the first nor the last time politicians will call for an adjournment of politics," Karl A. Lamb also of the political science department added, "but this call in itself is a political gesture. "It would be ideal, if both parties could work in concert for the good of the country. However it is fu- tile to expect this to ever happen. Both parties are vying for position in the forthcoming election. "This partisanship is normal, and it is necessary if the people are to choose between the two parties in November." Prof. Peek feels nothing will come of the President's request for more liberal immigration laws and that Congress will go beyond his request for Federal aid for school construction. "The Democrats counter will be that aid should go beyond just construction of schools," he said. "As for foreign aid, the House will go along with the President's basic recommendations, but they will make some cuts." Prof. Peek criticized Eisenhower for not mentioning public housing for urban areas. "Slum clearance in urban areas is a distressing problem and something should be done about it." In the area of health aid for the aged, Prof. Peek feels the Presi- dent is sure to veto any legisla- tion similar to the Forand Bill, which uses a taxation method of collecting funds. Battle Line The Ann Arbor Committee for SANE Nuclear Policy col- lected 167 signatures for its petition on nuclear disarma- ment at a State Street booth during yesterday's civil defense Says Service To Country Comes First Commends Passage Of Civil Rights Bill As Accomplishment WASHINGTON ()--President Dwight D. Eisenhower appealed to the Democratic - controlled Con- gress yesterday to pass up poli- ticking and get down to legislating for all America in these closing months of the election year ses- sion. "Too great a preoccupation with events of an election year could seriously impede constructive ef- fort," he said in a special message. ...We should jointly reslve that the shortness of time and political rivalries will not be al- lowed to prevent us from serving the American people effectively." Eisenhower credited Congress with one major accomplishment in four months of work so far-. passage of a new civil rights bill. But even here, the President chided Congress for rejecting cer- tain of his recommendations. The President plugged hard- as he did in a nationally broad- cast speech last night-for his $4 billion foreign, aid program which he called imperative to the na- tion's security. He asked anew for a farm bill to cope with the problem of mounting crop surpluses, particu- larly wheat. While Eisenhower listed a whole group of proposals ranging from more federal judges to a "moder- ate" increase in the one dollar an hour minimum wage, the only really new one was in the field of health care for the elderly. The President said Secretary of Welfare Arthur S. Fleming today will unfold "a new program which will enable older people truly in need of help to meet the calamity of catastrophic illness." Without going into detail, he indicated this politically signify- cant plan wll be built around pri- vate health insurance, with fed- eral and state sharing of the costs. Foes Berate Ike's Message As 'Politics' WASHINGTON M)- Congres- sional Democrats cried "politics" yesterday at President Dwight D. Eisenhower's special message lec- turing them to put aside partisan- ship and enact his legislative pro- gram. House Speaker Sam. Rayburn (D-Tex) sniffed, "This speech-it's called a message, but I call it a speech-seems to be the Republi- can platform." Senate Democratic Leader Lyn- don B. Johnson of Texas said he agreed with Eisenhower's state- ment "that none of us can afford to 'electioneer at the expense' of matters vital to the naton's econ- omy and security." "I am somewhat surprised that the point should even be raised in the middle of a session that is proceeding in good order to trans- act the public business," Johnson said. As was to be expected, Republi- cans had general applause for the Presidential document. Senate GOP Leader Everett M. Dirksen of Illinois called it "factual" and "an earnest appeal for a coopera- tive effort." Rayburn and Johnson gave their nave no adts, nave ta en ueij erate and spectacular" advantage of televisions restraint in handling the theme of sex in recent months, Potter declared. "The social problems which re- late to advertising are by no means confined to, or derived from advertising alone. They are the problems of mass communi- cation in a mass society which was created by democracy and economic abundance rather than by advertising... ." The answer to the explorative advertiser is not to condemn the exploration specifically. Advertis- ing is not a particular way of addressing the public. It is a con- text within which ways of addres- sing the public are developed." Quad Council Sets Petitions The West Quadrangle Council voted this week to allow circula- tion of petitions in its eight houses to determine whether or not resi- dents favor picketing as a means of supporting the Southern stu- e nL1 L1 1b Iu lle ever ,w u"C of politics in the nation's capital. The award for drama went t gain Pulntzer recognition since "S by Jerome Weidman and George Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick.4 It stars Tom Bosley and Patricia Wilson. The Los Angeles Times won the gold medal for meritorious public service for its successful news- paper campaign to cut down nar- cotics smuggling into this country from Mevico. The newspaper had won the medal previously in 1942. Pulitizer Endows The annual awards, endowed by the late publisher Joseph Pulitzer, were announced by the trustees of Columbia University on recom- mendation of an advisory board that is composed mainly of news- paper executives. Individual awards in the field of journalism carry a $1,000 prize. Besides the Los Angeles Times, there were several newspapers or individuals represented this year who had won prizes in other years.

Guest panelists Ann Doninger, '61, assistant editor ,of "Genera- tion," the campus literary magazine, Robert Davis, '61, editor of "Arbor," and Lalit Udani, Grad., editor of Abhishek, a forthcoming literary publication sponsored by the Inter-Cooperative Council, dis- cussed trends in the work of young writers, across .the country and - particularly in Ann Arbor, Broken Homes, Runaways The main point the panel members stressed was the prevalence of pessimism in today's writing. Speaking of the contributions to "Abhishek," (the Sanskrit word for offering), Udani commented, "The authors try to find their subjects under sofa cushions or in black back alleys. Most of them are not only sad, but morbid." He said the most popular subjects in the short stories he has received are broken homes and runaway husbands. Udani feels that
