WHITE .. .Institute director White Says 'U' Institute To Operate By PHILIP SHERMAN Lack of immediate capital out- lay funds will not cripple the Uni- versity Institute of Science and Technology, Institute Director Robert White of the engineering college said yesterday; In Lansing, the Legislature has pparently dropped plans for ap propriations for new construction tils year, including $500,000 for the Institute. Prof. White warned, however, notwithstantling the state finan- cial condition, continued delay of the appropriation would not be good, as the Institute will soon need' space. Using 'U' Facilities. At the moment, he said, plans call for using departmental facili- ties for Institute research when it begins. Prof. White anticipated little trouble in getting room since, he said, researchers who come here will be definite assets to any de- partment. He said the departments them- selves had recommended many of the prospective appointees. Prof. White said that at pres- ent the staff was still in the for- mative stage, with talks being car- vied on with many men. He de- clined to, name any, but stressed their international standing. , Space research will be their main concern, he said, with re- searchers coming from all related fields including mathematics, as- tronomy, engineering, and even philosophy. Logicians, Prof. White ex- plained, are eminently suited for work in computer logic and sys- tem design. Emphasie Recruiting At this time, Prof. White said, the principle activities of the In- stitute are recruiting and setting up administration. Research is not yet being carried on, but is due to start as soon as possible. Principle ,activities now, Prof. White continued, are two semin- ars, "Trajectory Analysis, Guid- ance and Control of Space Vehi- cles," in progress now, and "Space Astro-physics," set to start Tues- day. Two years were spent in plan- ning for the Institute, for which the L e g i s la t u r e appropriated $500,000 for operations this year. Red Telescope discrimination policy," Beste said. "~ Sphinx has' charged -the Home- coming Central Committee, specif- ically Beste, with showing favorit- ism in selection of a group to run the soft drink concession at the Homecoming Dance. The concession is worth ap- proximately $300, Harold ,Apple- baum, '61, Sphinx secretary said, and has been the sole source of outside annual income. Expected Concession Since the soft drink ,concession had been awarded to Sphinx each year .since World War II, the honorary expected to be awarded the booth again this year.,-Apple- baum was put in charge of the project:. "On the 26th of September, I was contacted by Chuck Judge, who is Buildings and Grounds Chairman for Homecoming," Ap- plebaum said. "Chuck wanted to know if we were interested in the Homecoming booth for this year." Judge told him there were cer- tain concession reforms that had to be accepted before the booth could', be awarded. Applebaum promised to bring the subject up, at the Sphinx meeting that eve- ning. Accepted Unanimously "That night we voted on the concession booth question, and it 'was accepted unanlmously, with the changes," Applebaum reported. Applebaum relayed the decision to Judge who told them to keep work- ing on it, and later said they would be handling the concession. Judge asked some specific ques- tions about the preparations, and the honorary began to set up com- mittees to work on the booth. "Then, on October 16th, I re- ceived a call from Beste," 4pple- baum continued. ".I hear you've been interested in concessions,'" he quoted Beste, "'I'm sorry there's been a mixup.'": See SPHINX, Page 2 SteelShorta ge Slows Detroit , Car Assembly DETROIT - General Motors Corp. car production virtually halted Friday because of the 108- day steel strike.

GOP Ready To Liquiate Trust ,.Fund Williams Asks Higher Sum Than Senators { B'y The Associated Press LANSING - Republican Sena- tors seemed willing to cash the $40 million Veteran's Trust Fund 3esterpay, but a new disagree- ment over Michigan's fiscal needs boded more trouble in the 10- month state tax dispute. Gov. G. Mennen Williams and Republican lawmakers got off to a bad start in hurry-up efforts to write a new tax program for debt- ridden Michigan. Senate and House Republicans set- 70 million dollars as the amount of emergency taxes need- ed annually to meet the state's money needs. Asks 110 Millions Gov. Williams called for 110 million dollars, the amount struck from the revenue structure by a State Supreme Court decision throwing out the increased use (sales) tax. The Democratic governor as- sailed the GOP proposal as "sim- ply preposterous." Unless Republicans raise the figure "substantially," the state won't be able to pay for legisla- tive appropriations and "drastic cuts" in state services will follow, Williams said. No Cutbacks Republican tax leaders asserted their proposal would not necessi- tate any sizable cutbacks in ap- propriations or state services. Seventy millions- in new taxes,; coupled with a steady growth in tax collections, another mora- torium on new construction and various economies, should carry the state for a year, they said. The new plan does not contem- plate any sizable payment for. re- tirement of the state debt. Some House Republicans, con- sidered the. figure inadequate and cited '°it as "the absolute mini- mum." Sen. Frank D. Beadle (R-St. Clair), Senate majority leader, in- dicated the Veterans Trust Fund probably would be released as a condition of any bipartisan agree- ment on new taxes. The 50 million dollars worth of securities in the fund could be sold for about 40 millions, taking care of the state's most pressing cash needs. (Rep. George Sallade, Ann Arbor Repub- lican, said there, was "no ques- tion" about cashing theI Trust Fund once other disagreements are ironed out.) V Critics Rap Festivities As Useless Six living units or campus organizations at Northwestern University have decided that pre- paration of Homecoming floats and decorations is neither worth their time, efforts, or money. Consequently, the groups will not prepare expensive decorations for this weekend, but will continue with traditional plans to otherwise entertain alumni. The move to de-emphasize floats and decorations originated in action by the Theta Chi executive council, Jim Eckelberger, president of the fraternity, said. But a meeting of representatives from both men's and women's or- ganizations at the Theta Chi house to consider discussion of the move was cancelled Wednesday, Oct. 14, when the Northwestern adminis- tration decided it would have to be chaperoned. Theta Chi then revealed their, intentions to determine the all- campus fraternity feeling. Following Theta Chi's sugges- tion, one other house decided to withdraw from float and house decoration competition. Pi Kappa Alpha, winner of Homecoming trophies in both 1956 and 1957, issued the following statement: "Pi Kappa Alpha has decided to withdraw this year's homecoming decoration.

One was dressed in high-button shoes with a name-brand paper wrap serving as silver buckles. White high-top socks rose under black knickers, which contrasted with a white ruffled blouse. Onthe rider's head were a woman's wig and a plumed hat, on his nose a pair of spectacles, and on his lapel a Delta Sigma Phi pin. Behind him trotted a black plug, ridden by a black graduation robe which carried a lighted pumpkin under its right arm.
