LEWIS By THOMAS HAYDEN One day .just about a year ago James A. Lewis swiveled uncomfortably in his chair and scratched the short hair on his head. "I have a guilty conscience about it all," he said glumly. "People had told me the rules were loose and potentially dan- gerous. I should have tried to clear it up. "But -I thought that Student Government Council might straighten it out through their evaluation committee, and I also took a calculated riskthat no collision would ever occur." Conflict Erupts The collision - between SGC and the administration - had just occurred. The Board in Review of SGC had reversed the Council's deci- sion in the Sigma Kappa dis- pute in which SGC had- found the sorority guilty of national discriminatory policies. The' Board, and Lewis, had over- ruled. Since then, Lewis has had his problems. Ixi his difficult position as vice-president for student affairs, he is inevitably caught in the occasional ten- sion between the student body and administration. The con- flicts occur over many things, from bicycle impounding to Sigma Kappa. In the Sigma Kappa incident, a large number of students Were critical of Lewis' judgement. The tension was compounded since many faculty members agreed with the students.. The criticism has since thinned, although it occasion- ally breaks through. The most recent outburst came last June when a student representative stormed out of the meeting at which the new SGC Plan was adopted. Some, though not all, of his complaints were directed at Lewis. The new Council Plan is now in operation. "It's a better plan than the old one," Lewis said in his office recently, ,because it removes some of the ambiguities of the old one, and provides a clearer definition of responsi- bility." Power Search Will there be more "colli- sions '? "Theire's this eternal search for more power on the part of the student that we'll have to deal with," he answered. "Con- flicts might come, probably over SGC's areas of jurisdiction. "But this isn't necessarily a' bad thing, you know," he con- tinued. "In a real sense, con- flicts are healthy." Lewis has - maintained this philosophy since he took over his present duties in 1954. Un- til the recent establishment of a vice-presidency for research, Lewis' office for Student Affairs was the newest of the higher administrative posts. Background in Education At the time of his appoint- ment, Lewis was lecturer in the University education school and director of the Bureau of School Services. Previously he served as teacher and principal in various Michigan schools, at Central Michigan University and Purdue University, and as superintendent of schools in Dearborn, Mich. The 55-year old vice-presi- dent took his masters' work in education at the University, and received his doctoral degree at Harvard in 1956. He is also a professor of education here. A post-war increase in en- rollment necessitated creation of Lewis' post. The University has nearly 10,000 more students today than during the war period. "My job contains two dif- ferent areas. The first is fairly clea, the second more in- tangible," he said. Both are based on tie premise that everything in the Univer- sity should be measured against what contribution it is making to instruction, he said. "The first function of the nine agencies of our Office then is to help relieve the responsi- bilities of the 1? colleges and schools. We view ourselves as working for these 17, trying to help them for example, by keep- ing the students in better health, better housing condi- tions. "In other words, we're not ends but means, as we are able to serve." "We" refers to people in ad- missions, registration, the Bu- reau of School Services, the of- fices of Dean of Men and Dean of Women, the International Center, and Lane Hall. These are the offices taking direct care of the student from the moment See LEWIS, Page Z Ike Desires Cut in Taxes For 1961 New Budget Needs Support of Congress WASHINGTON (J)-The Eisen-' hower administration is holding out hope for a tax Cut in 1961 if Congress will go along with the President's new budget forecast- ing a .$4,200,000,000 surplus. It also was, learned yesterday that President Dwight D. Eisen- hower's prediction of a 20-mil-' lion-dollar surplus in the current See related story, Page 3 fiscal year is based principally on expectations of a whopping drop in farm aid spending. Estimates of agricultural out- lays have been reduced by $900 million since September - more than enough to offset revenues lost through the steel strike. Official Comments A high official, who declined to be quoted by name, told a report- er the administration likely would favor broad tax reform legislation, including reduction of basic rates, at next year's congressional ses- sion provided: 1) The $4 billion materializes in the 1961 fiscal year that begins July 1, 1960. 21 The surplus is used to reduce the record national debt of $290 billion. 3) The economy continues to expand and a recession is avoided. President Eisenhower drew a question mark around tax relief in his State of the Union message to Congress on Thursday. He said tax cuts should be voted only aft- er debt reduction becomes a nor- mal practice. Make Prediction This could be interpreted as in- dicating the President would want to see several more years of bal- anced budgets before tax relief is attempted. While Eisenhower is leaving the White House next January, it will be his job to prepare the follow- ing year's budget for his succes- sor. He also will be expected to submit a final series of legisla- tive recommendations for the new Congress convening in 1961.' The present administration has been working closely with the House Ways and Means Commit- tee in a broadscale study of tax reform, and the official who spelled out current thinking said a tax cut in 1961 is a distinct ps- sibility. This source, who is in a position to know and influence top policy, filled in a number of blanks which Eisenhower left in his State of the Union message last Thursday. He said: -Spending will total $78.4 bil- lion in the 1960 fiscal year which ends June 30. This is $500 million less than the most recent oficial estimate made last September. Revenues will come to $78.6 billion' or $400 million below the Septem- ber calculation. - tr By JEAN HARTWIG Former President Harry S. Tru- man may be the keynote speaker at a conference here commemor- ating the tenth anniversary of the Point Four Program, May 15 to 17. Governor G. Mennen Williams, who recently sent a letter to Tru- man- urging him to come, may also attend, Prof. Samuel Hayes of the economics department and chairman of the conference, said yesterday. 'U' Makes Invitations Both have been invited by the University. Other principal speakers who have definitely accepted invita- tions , to the conference include Paul G.

Secretary of State Christian Herter and New York's Governor Nelson Rockefeller were also in- vited, but declined, according to Prof. Hayes. Since Herter will be at the sum- mit" meeting in Paris during the conference, Undersecretary of State C. Douglas Dillon, formerly Undersecretary . of Economic Af- fairs, has been invited. .The purpose of the conference is to promote a better understand- ing of United States' foreign pol- icy and its program to aid under- developed countries. Progress made since the Act for International Development, which implemented the Point Four Pro- gram in 1950, and implications for the future of foreign aid will also be discussed. Seminars Scheduled In addition to public addresses from prominent American and foreign speakers, a series of ound-table discussions will also be open to the public. Since "a number of people in the state of Michigan have very active positions in the foreign aid program," Prof. Hayes explained that the University has asked Wichigan State University and' Wayne State University to co- sponsor the conference. Various national and state organizations' may also join in sponsoring it, he said. Truman's Plan The Point Four Program, pro- posed by Truman in his 1949 in- augural address called for a new program to make. United States technical knowledge and skills available to underdeveloped coun- tries. Truman also called for contin- ued support of the United Na- tiaons, continuation of economic id 'to Europe and defense pacts with allies such as the North At- lantic Treaty Organization and the Rio Pact. Prof. Hayes, now working on a program of research and instruc- tion in the field of economic re- search in under-developed coun- tries, was formerly the executive secretary of the inter-departmen- tal government group that de- veloped the Point Four Program. Wisconsin Acts To E nd R.OTC Issue By RALPH KAPLAN The University of Wisconsin re- gents have deferred judgment on the faculty's recommendation for voluntary ROTC, Prof. Carlisle Runge, chairman of the faculty committee, told The Daily yes- terday. The regental vote will be con- ducted by mail since only six of 10 members were present at the Re- gents meeting Friday, Prof. Runge added. The university facultylvoted Monday to support voluntary ROTC and openedthevway for the last step in a campaign to abolish compulsory military edu- cation programs. Thefaculty vote signaled the end of one of the longest drives the university campuS has ever seen, the Wisconsin student news- paper, The Daily Cardinal, report- ed. "In recent years student sen- ate debated the issue strongly, passing resolutions asking for a shift to voluntary ROTC. Students Vote "In 1949 the question was sub- mitted to an all-campus election with 3,600 students favoring elim- inating compulsion in the pro- gram and 1,522 voting for the compulsory system. A bill chang- ing ROTC to voluntary failed in the state legislature then. As a result of continued cam- paigning by students, the Wiscon- sin legislature last summer passed a law permitting the university to end its compulsory ROTC pro- gram if the faculty and regents approved. If the regents do approve, the new voluntary program will re place the compulsory one next fall. The Naval ROTC program was not included in the discussions because it operates on a differ- ent, and voluntary, basis. Presents Report' In presenting his report to the faculty committee, Runge admit- ted ROTC "is not a matter in re- gard to curriculum-wholly with- in control of the faculty and re- gents. We had to develop a pro- gram within the existing federal statutes." According to national law, in- dividual universities and colleges have the authority to decide or compulsory ROTC programs.

In Fourth Consecutive Win By DAVE COOK A scrap-iron Michigan, hockey team made it two in a row last night over the favored visitors from Michigan Tech, administering a convincing 4-1 lesson before a noisy full house at the Coliseum. It was the Wolverines' fourth consecutive win, and eighth in ten games. Once more the story of the game was in the brilliant combined efforts of Wolverine goalie Jim Coyle and the defensive crew led by Captain Bobbie Watt. Coyle turned aside 21 shots and wound up the night as the top goalie in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association with a 2.5 goals- - per-game average. Watt set the Wolverines off flying in the first period when he. teamed; up with forward Jerry Kolb and center Bill Kelly to beat.

Michigan State Routs Michigan in Big T By DAVE LYON Associate Sports Editor EAST LANSING - Michigan State's hustling team handed Michigan its eighth basketball les- son of the season last night, 89-58, to the delight of 12,208 spectators in Jenison Field House.. The Spartans, outrunning end outrebounding the Wolverines all through the game, pulled out to a commanding lead midway in the first half and held a comfortable advantage thereafter. It was Michigan's first Big Ten game, and came after the Blue had compiled a 2-7 non-league record. Tomorrow the Wolverines face another tough Conference op- ponent, Indiana, in a contest at 8 p.m. in Yost Field House. , Take Early Lead Coach Bill Perigo's team hit its first four shots from the field and took a 10-6 lead after three min- utes. State scored the next five points and led, 23-19, with 10 minutes gone. Then Michigan's shooting turned cold, and while the men in blue couldn't find the basket, State ex- ploited the Wolverine defense time and again for easy drive-in or short jump shots. At halftime State led, 58-u6, and as the game wor on State s lead increased as Michigan's offensive the goalmouth and sent a rising shot off Cuculick's arm into the net. Game Breaking Several times later in the open- ing stanza, the game appeared to be on the verge of breaking into a general skirmish, and the buzzer found Tech applying increasing pressure on the Michigan net.
