Kissinger
peace con]
WASHINGTON ('P) - Secre-
tary of State Henry Kissinger
said yesterday a Middle East
peace conference in Geneva is
the only apparent solution to
the 'potentially grave danger"
existing in the area.
Within hours after this assess-
ment, Israeli officials briefed.
reporters and said such a con-
ference stands little chance of
success, if it even starts.
KISSINGER told a nationally.
broadcast news conference that
the failure of his step-by-step ef-
fort to arrange an Arab-Israeli
settlement meant the only
choice now evident was to nego-
tiate "under more difficult cir-
cumstances" at Geneva.
He said he would contact the
Soviet Union, the conference
co-leader, "in the near future"
about resumption of the Geneva
talks.,
The secretary, unlike his per-
formances in past news confer-
ences, made no jokes or other
efforts to offset the seriousness
of the situation during the 45-
minute questioning, which also
included inquiries about Indo-
urges Middle East
ference in Geneva
question of what kind of peo-
ple we are," the secretary said,
people who would "deliberately
destroy an ally" by holding out
necessary aid.
In returning to the Israeli-
Arab problem, Kissinger seem-
ed unhappy about the Geneva
prospects, a feeling that re-
flected past doubts over the
success of any such meeting.
KISSINGER has always felt
a Geneva meeting would be too
large and cumbersome to pre-
vent meaningful negotiations,
and the Israeli officials repeat-
ed that assessment Wednesday.
The secretary all but ruled out
a return to anything similar to
the shuttle diplomacy he con-
ducted until it broke down last
weekend, but the Israelis said
it "should be continued at ae
proper time."
Old concentrators working under the group system won't
have to worry either, as the old core courses will be credited
the same way as the new ones, and any American literature
course will fit the Core III requirement.'
The courses have also been raised to the 300 level so as to
avoid the wasted hours previously needed when they were at the
200 level.
Another new step is the discontinuation of optional counsel-
ing in the English department. Under the new rules, a student
chooses a counselor who will help with all academic prob-
lems and will remain the student's advisor for all undergraduate
work.
Each counselor will advise ten students who remain the
same, and meetings within the adviser's group will be encour- Paradise born

This new system, it is hoped, will make the English Depart-
ment a little more "homey", and produce the small school
atmosphere always desired at mammouth institutions like the,
big "U".I

your resources no longer. For the past 12 years, the 'U's math
department has sponsored the T. H. Hildebrand Research Assist-
Professorship to give young math scholars from all over the
United States a chance to prove their worth.
The program, which was named for the chairman of the:
math department from 1934 to 1957, was originated to "further
the opportunities of young people to do math research" accord-
ing to Prof. James Wendell, an assistant chairman of the depart-
ment.
The stable employment clause of the program is what sets
it apart from counterparts at other institutions such as Yale and
MIT.I
The department is customarily authorized to award only one
position per year to the over 200 PhD.'s that normally apply.
"Competition is very severe, but we get a tremendous range of
young people competing -the brightest and most creative in the
country," claims present math department chairman Fredrick
Gehring.
Those who wish to apply are required by the department's
executive committee to have finished their doctoral work, and
to present three letters of recommendation. Although only the
committee is authorized to make selections, the whole staff may
participate in reviewing the work candidates have submitted.
This year's T. H. Hildebrand Research Assistant Professor-
ship was awarded to Debra Goldsmith, a topoligist - or "knot
theorist" - who received her doctorate from Princeton.

LANSING (UPI) - Weekly
paychecks of Michigan wage-
earners will shrink May 1 when
the state income tax rate is
increased from its current level
of 3.9 per cent to 4.6 per cent to
help balance the state budget.
The legislature gave final
approval to the .7 per cent
increase only hours after Gov.
William Milliken and Senate
and House leaders agreed on a
compromise to break a stale-
mate on the bill.
MILLIKEN, who recommend-
ed the increase to offset the
$210 million lost by voter re-
peal of the sales tax on food
and drugs, will sign the mea-
sure in plenty of time to meet
the May 1 effective date.
The Senate approved the
House-passed measure 'on a 24-
12 vote after two hours of
debate and the House concurred
in a Senate amendment only
10 minutes later on a 76-28 vote.
The tax hike will have a
greater impact on the pay-
checks of high wage earners
than on those of low wage
earners.
