Bartlett Sees Slim Hopes "I have a feeling we could end up with no tax program this year," State Superintendent of Public Instruction Lynn M. Bartlett said here Thursday. "What chance will we have for new taxes in an election year?" he queried, in discussing the state's current financial problems with the Ann Arbor Area Business and Professional Assn. In his estimation, the $34 mil- lion Senate-sponsored nuisance tax now under House consideration is a "pittance" and "totally unrealis- tic." Schools May Close But if the Legislature fails to pass the new tax plan, Bartlett warned, a "few" of the state's pub- lic school systems may be forced to close before the end of the current school year. With the state unable to meet all its state-aid obligations, he ex- plained, some schools have had to seek bank loans, using forthcoming state revenues as security, to keep in operation. Banks May Stop Loans * He indicated that banks may refuse further loans to public schools already in debt if state revenues do not materialize, forc- ing the schools to close. Unless new taxes are levied or the Veterans Trust Fund liqui- dated, the state will owe Michigan schools up to $62,000,000 at the end of the 1959-60 school year, according to Bartlett. Sees Debt Rise He foresees that by next June the state deficit will rise from its present $85,000,000 to $167,000,000 if there are no new tax measures. The Legislature's moratorium of capital expansion at the Univer- sity, Bartlett reminded one Uni-' versity spokesman, could cost $600,000 to $700,000 in added building cost to structures in the future because of the increasing expense of material and labor. Gray Addded To Faeulty 1 I I Y IYIYYYY Y 1 I 1 Y YIYYY!l YI Remember when . FOOD FOR THOUGHT-South Quad men expressed their dissatisfaction with dorm food when they erected this sign in 1957. They apparently' hoped that this peaceful protest would win them better meals sooner than a dining room riot such as the one which occurred the year before. Continuous Today From 1 o'clock Program Notes DIAL NO 8-6416 Brought Back at Requests of ThoUSands of Students THE HOW L I NG COME DY H I T ai EAsTWAn COLOR *"CINEMASCOPE, e-- TONYR fNDALL TH ELMA lT1 It was the chilly Sunday even- ing of Dec. 2, 1956. Students generally 'were slack- ing off in their studies as the. Christmas recess was just around the corner. A few students en- gaged in a brief snowball fight outside South Quadrangle but quickly gave it up as the dinner hour was approaching. Inside, South Q u a d r an gl1 e menus listed corn beef and cheese as the main plate for the usual Sunday night snack. Serve Corn Beef Men of Reeves and Kelsey filed through the dinner line, took one disgusted look at the corn beef and cheese and left the counters empty-handed. The rest of the Quadrangle quickly followed suit. A few brave students filled their By Barton linuthwaite plates but were quickly booed by their irate fellow students. Sever- al succumbed to the chants of "We want better food" and de- jectedly left their plates on the relish table. The University's first food riot was gaining momentum. The South Quadrangle demon- strators' shouts rose in volume as the food strikers banged clean forks against empty plates ac- companied by chants of "We want food. " Over in West Quadrangle a sim- ilar scene was being enacted. Both demonstrations had begun simul- taneously, at approximately 5:45 p.m. South Quadrangle residents then milled about outside the din- ing hall and flowed outside in a group to support their fellow riot- ers of West Quadrangle. Estimates put the shouting, chanting students at about 900 to 1,000. One group of 300 marched to East Quad in an effort to gain their support. The demonstration there lasted only .five minutes be- fore the combined quadrangles moved on to University President Harlan Hatcher's home.. Dean of Men Walter B. Rea in- tercepted the crowd at the steps of President Hatcher's home on South University. Pleads With Rioters Rea pleaded with the rioters to disband, promising their com- plaints would be taken up if they were voiced through the proper University channels. The entire demonstration had lasted an hour and a half. The "proper channels" were quick to act on the food rioters' complaints. The Inter-House Council hint- ed at a broad investigation of Residence Hall food from Food Service (Quadrangle supply agen- cy) down through the business staff and into the Residence Hall kitchens. Rumors that the following night's dinner had been changed from spaghetti to roast beef to appease the angry Quad residents proved unfounded as the consid- erably quieter students placidly filed through the dinner lines for the nightly offering. By SUSAN FARRELL "Chamber music is like poetry demanding attention to the subtleties and the nuances," Uni- versity composer-in-residence Ross Lee Finney once. wrote., "A string quartet is not just a symphony written for four instru- ments; it is a much more intimate expression and it demands real participation from the listener .. . Nothing excels chamber music literature, perhaps because it was never written for show but for the sheer love of music." It is rather generally agreed that the performances of the Uni- versity's Stanley Quartet demon- strate this love of the music they play. Quartet members Gilbert Ross and Gustave Rosseels, violins, Robert Courte, viola,. and Oliver Edel, cello, will present their see- ond concert of the fall semester at 8:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Rackham Lecture Hall. The program includes "Quartet in D major, K. 575" by Mozart; "Quartet in A minor, for Jean on her, Birthday" by Vaughn Wil- liams and Beethoven's "Quartet in F minor, Op. 95." * * * The University Choir, conduct- ed by Prof. Maynard Klein, will present a program of music from seven countries, covering the last four centuries, at 8:30 p.m. Tues-' day in Hill Aud. "Each number has been chosen because of its significance in choral literature," Prof. Klein. said, "and a great part of tlie pro- gram will be sung unaccompa- nied." The first half of the program will be devoted to Christmas mu- sic from England, Russia, United S t a t e s, Czechoslovakia, I t a 1 y, Switzerland and Germany. Gio- vanni Gabrielli's "Hodie Christus natus est," a motet for double choir, will be given its first per- formance in modern times. The University Choir will also. sing "Motet No. III, Jesu Meine Freude," a chorale motet by Bach' and Antonio Vivaldi's "Gloria." The program was chosen in ac- cord with Prof. Klein's explana- tion that for the past ten years the University Choir has chosen to sing what they consider "im- portant choral literature - music. that should 'come alive' in the University community." A brass choir and a chamber orchestra, conducted by Robert Hause, will accompany the choirs. University carillonneur Prof. Percival Price will precede the concert with a half-hour chorale prelude played from the bell- tower of Burton Memorial Tower. The age of the romantics - the age of Byron, Friederich, Cole- ridge and Beethoven-will be dis- cussed by Prof. Arthur Eastman of the English department on the University's "Legacy" series at 12:00 noon today on WWJ-TV. "What had been eccentric in the preceding age of manner -- to bare the soul, to be different, now became centric in the age of the Romantics," Prof. Eastman said. "The Romantic was rebelling against his forefathers the way youth always rebels. He felt the 18th century had been too rea- sonable." "The Romantic wanted a re- turn to nature," Prof. Eastman explained. "He wanted emotion, and passion, and he felt the im- agination had been shackled. Grimm's "Fairy Tales" with their exotic, sometimes morbid senti- ments, have a wonderful success in the Romantic Age." Today's program on the age of the romantics is one of a series exploring the mind of man through the centuries. .* * * Ann Arbor's most recent art gallery, known as "the GAP," is planning a new show to open ear- ly in January. It will include paintings, sculp- ture and ceramics, as does the present exhibit. Contributors are University art teachers, students and well-known artists from other schools and academies. "It's the kind of gallery where you walk in bearing your gift, and if it's good, it stays," George Klikunas, one of GAP's contribu- tors said. GAP is at present involved in a tangle with the landlord of the gallery over the legality. of their using an apartment as an art gal- lery, perhaps in violation of the lease agreement.

The appointee, Whitmore Gray, who is currently practicing law with a. New York firm, will join the University faculty beginning next semester. E" Gray ranked third in a class of RSM- 253 at graduation. He served as editor-in-chief of the Michigan _r Law Review and was elected to the Order of the Coif, a national legal academic honorary society. After completing his University studies, Gray spent a year at the Institute of Comparative Law, e ' studying with the law faculty at the University of Paris. He re- turned to the United States late t last year, at which time he be- came affiliated with the law firm of Casey, Lane & Mittendorf in New York. Gary will teach in the areas of comparative law and restitution. A native of Monroe, he received b an A.B. degree from Principia Col- lege in Elsah, Ill, in 1954, and gS three years later earned a J.D. degree at the University. Announcement of his appoint- ment, which has been approved by the Regents, was temporarily witheld at his request. By RONNIE ROSENBLATT In a centrally-located room on the first floor of the Rackham Computing Center, North Univer- sity and Forest, stand 16 massive metal units.. In the midst of these is a huge rect:ingular object, whose face is covered with rows of switches, but- tons and variously colored lights. Together. these 17 separate parts comprise the University's new elec- tronic computer. The computer, according to Bruce W. Arden of the Computing Center, was acquired on August 1, 1959. Workmen worked one full month to install it because the units had to be connected by means of cables laid underneath the floor. Rented for Research The machine, which is rented from International Business Ma- chines Corp., would cost a business corporation approximately $36,000 a month to rent. The University charges $300 an hour for its use in research projects which are backed and financed by outside agencies. "We have always had some sort of a computer," Arden said, but then explained that this is the first large-scale machine the Uni- versity has acquired. It has a much larger capacity than its predecessors and is better able to solve difficult and involved problems. Solves Any Problem The new computer can, in fact, solve any problem which can be reduced to a series of steps. Within its scope is anything from complex math to language translation. The computer is fed all the necessary information for the solu- tion of a problem. It then deter- mines the procedure it will follow ii t iLe an] in finding the solution by decoding from a series of patterns inside it. The problem is then solved at the rate of 40,000 operations per second Many departments and individu- als use the computer, and it is constantly in operation, Arden said .+ si'sar . ,f "grrrssssx "..e rv."
