The reorganized committee will consist of six members of the faculty, the Dean of Women, the Dean of Stu- dents and seven students. The Dean of Students will continue to serve as chairman. Previously, there had been an eight to five faculty-student ratio on the committee.. As a result of the Regents' action, the president of Student Legislature and two other members of the Legis- lature, one of whom must be a wo- man, will be added to the committee. Students who will retain member- ship are the President of the League, the managing editor of The Daily, the chairman of Women's Judiciary Council and the president of the Union. The president of Men's Judiciary Council-which went out of existence with the birth of Student Legisla- ture-was formerly a student mem- ber of the committee. The Student Affairs Committee it- self recommended an identical plan of reorganization to the Regents May 21 as a result of campus dissatisfac- tion with the faculty student ratio. Lewm Urges Break from 'Emotiona lism "We must be brave enough to break away from traditional emo- tionalism" and to develop a science of "social management," Prof. Kurt Le- win, director of the Research Center for Group Dynamics at the Mas- sachusetts Institute of Technology, said last night. Speaking on "Action Research on Minority Problems" at the Hillel Foundation, Prof. Lewin said that methods to measure objectively the .results of social action must be de- veloped as prerequisites to effec- tive "social management." Prof. Lewin said that he has ten-. tatively concluded that social action is most effective when directed at groups than at individuals or at the masses. He based this conclusion on experiments conducted by the re- search center. Knowledge, Prof. Lewin pointed out, will not change prejudices. Re- moving prejudices must be done ex- perimentally on a group basis until "social management" is developed, he said.

The fall refresher course will be- gin on Thursday, August 15, and will end on Friday, September 13. No. degree credit will be given for the refresher course, which is designed to review the veteran's formal know- ledge and to accustom him to aca- demic work before the beginning of the regular term.

ILLINOIS LEA DS: Seven Wolverine Trackmieii Qualify for Conference Finals By BILL MATNEY (Special to The Daily) CHAMPAIGN, Ill., May 31-Quali- fying seven men in the strategic events, Michigan's outdoor track squad appeared to be well fortified in its attempt to take second place honors in the 46th annual Big Ten outdoor track championships here. While Illinois' rampaging speed- sters completely dominated all the qualifying heats, Michigan placed two men in the 440, the 880, one in the 220, and two in the shotput. Ohio State's Buckeyes, chief threat to thesWolverines' bid for runner-up honors, provided the most exciting event of the day when they placed two men well in the running for the half-mile title. Bill Clifford grabbed his heat from Michigan's Herb Bar- ten, trotting easily through the dis- tance in 1:56.8. Whitfield of OSU Surprises Then Malvine Whitfield, surprise runner of the day, followed with a 1:55 half-mile that left spec;ators whispering. The Buckeye ace assumed the lead from the blocks and was ne- ver headed as he splashed home through the puddles of rain water that dotted the track. Michigan's Bob Thomason re- corded the best mark of his, life as le 'Area Studies' Talks Con tinu~e The International Student Ex- change Committee and the Russian Circle will present a social and cul- tural program on "Modern Russia" at 7:30 p.m. Monday in Kellogg Au- ditorium. Speakers on the program will be Prof. Lobanov-Rostovsky of the his- tory department.

Thomason was clocked in 1:55.2, a scant stride be- hind the Illini runner. Fonville Third in Discus Chuck Fonville and George Os- troot placed third and fourth res- pectively in the finals of the discus throw. Fonville's heave of 147 ft 7 in. was six feet shy of Bill Ban- gert's winning toss of 153 ft. 7- in. and two feet ahead of Ostroot's fol- low-up mark.

Ruthven will preside at the convocation, held each year to honor the students who are candidates for the teacher's certificate, Provost James P. Adams will give the convocation address and the recipients of three scholarships will be announced. Two of the awards, nmamed i honor of former heads of the University's education department, are the Wil- liam f. Payne Scholar Award and the Burke Aaron Hinsdale Scholar Award, both to be given for high scholar- ship and high rank in professional zeal and promise. The third scholarship, to be award- ed for the first time, is the Ceao Mur- land Scholarship, aimed to stimu- late the interest in superior teach- ing, creative writing, and signifi- cant research in the field of voca- tional education. House action will be delayed until next Thursday under an agreement there to take up no controversial legislation until that time. Fighting to get the bill through, Democratic Leader Barkley (Ky.) made major concessions to critics of the measure. He agreed to: Drop a section providing that any profits resulting from operation of a business enterprise under govern- ment-seizure shall go into the Treas- ury rather than being paid to the owners. Ease the penalties on those who strike against a government-operat- ed plant by taking out a provision that they would lose their seniority rights. Before it acted finally, the Senate upheld on a 54 to 28 vote the Presi- dent's right to negotiate contracts with unions after the government takes over plants. It voted 61 to 19 to keep in the measure a provision to make those who strike, as well as union leaders. subject to court injunctions. Pre- viously it had turned down, 44 to 36, a proposal by Senator Revercomb (Rep.-W. Va.) to exempt from this penalty individuals who left their jobs. Barkley seized an opportunity and drove the bill to passage when Re- publicans, who had been working closely with pro-labor Democrats fighting the measure, split on a move to return the bill to the Interstate Commerce Committee. The motion by Senator Thomas (Dem.-Utah) was beaten 42 to 40 with 26 Democrats and 16 Republi- cans voting against. Supporting it were 23 Democrats, 16 Republicans and Senator LaFollette (Prog.-Wis.). Some Senate changes may yet be wiped ot in a compromise of dif- ferences with the House. Administration lieutenants said the legislation still would be accept- able to the President even if the striker-draft clause is not restored. Among minor changes the Senate made in the House measure was to stipulate that it shall lapse after June 30, 1947, unless terminated earlier . . The Senate upheld the President's authority to write contracts with la- bor unions in seized industries. Unified German1 Command Asked BERLIN, May 31-AP)--Gen. Jo- seph T. McNarney renewed his de- mands today for administration of Germany as a single economic unit, and declared increasing attacks by German civilians on U.S. troops and hunger were resulting from the lack of unification. McNarney's'demand that the Pots- dam Agreement's provision for ad- ministering the Reich as an economic unit be fulfilled in whole and not in part was contained in his monthly report as American military gover- nor on occupation affairs. It was a gloomy document, which may herald the Americans' last big effort to achieve unification. Blame for the stalemate has been laid to Russia, a signatory of Potsdam and holder of an approximately self-suf- ficient zone of Germany, and to France, which was not represented at Potsdam but insists on fixing Ger- many's western boundaries before discussing economic unification. In order to force a decision, the Americans have already announced an embargo on all industrial repara- Stalin Refuses Truman Request For Meetings Diplomats See Double Strategy in Discliosure WASHINGTON, May 31 -(R)- Premier Stalin has turned down two invitations from President Truman to visit him in Washington, Mr. Tru- man unexpectedly disclosed today. Diplomats scanned the revelation for signs that it was a move in the current diplomatic contest with Rus- sia, but the White House said Mr. Truman had no such purpose in mind - that he merely reported the fact in response to news conference questions. In saying Stalin had twice ex- pressed his regrets and said his doc- tors would not allow him. to make long journeys, Mr. Truman did not foreclose the possibility that he might some time go abroad himself again to meet the Soviet leader and pre- sumably Prime Minister Attlee of Great Britain, However, he said no plans were under way for such a meeting. The strategy which some diplo- mats professed to see behind the President's disclosure of the Stalin invitations was two-fold - first, an attempt to put the responsibility for failure to hold a meeting of the chiefs of state on Stalin; and, sec- ond, a willingness to make one more move tending to show that it is Rus- sian objections rather than American reluctance to act which is stalling progress on world peace. The chief executive recently has been under some political pressure here to meet Stalin. Hard Coal Men Still on S trike UMW Negotiations Fail in First Session NEW YORK, May 31-M-Three- nan negotiating sub-committees of the United Mine Workers (AF) and anthracite operators, meeting on the first day of an industry-wide walkout by 75,000 Pennsylvania hard coal miners, failed today to produce agree- ment on any point after a three-hour discussion. The session today marked the be- ginning of the fourth week of con- tract talks. At a news conference following the session, Thomas Kennedy, UMW sec- retary-treasurer, said: "The subcommittees discussed wages, the health and welfare pro- gram, and related subjects which in- volved practically all the propositions which the miners have made. There were no conclusions," Kennedy declined "to be more specific" when asked to express in detail the proposals discussed. Both sides agreed that the miners' walkout was completely effective. The subcommittees meet again at 10 a.m. ('EDTI) tomorrow. The strike-ninth major anthra- cite shutdown since the turn of the century-became effective last mid- night.
