NO 'FRESHMEN ONLY': Mosher-Jordan To Become All-Class Dormitory i Fall Kirk, Greene Visitors' Late Spark Spurt Of Koreans into Armed Force By M. J. TUTTLE The entire Mosher-Jordan dor- mitory will become a four-year residence next fall, housing mem- bers of all classes, the Office of the Dean of Women announced yesterday. For eight years Jordan Hall has been a "freshman only" house while Mosher has housed sophomores, juniors and seniors. Originally four-year residences, they were changed in 1939 because the Dean of "Women's office believed it could accommodate more freshmen by Choral Uion Stars Lehmann Operatic Soprano To Sing Tomorrow Lotte Lehmann noted Lieder singer and leading soprano of the Metropolitan Opera Company, will appear in the ninth Choral Union concert at 8:30 p.m. tomorrow in Hill Auditorium. A specialist in Wagnerian roles, Miss Lehmann also has given many performances as Marschallin in "Rosenkavalier" and Leonore in "Fidelio," and achieved her first success at the Metropolitan as Sieglinde in "Die Walkure." Miss Lehmann sang regularly in Vienna, Paris, Brussels, London' and Salzburg before coming to the United States in 1930. In Europe she received many honors, includ- ing the rosette of the Legion of Honor from the French govern- ment. An author and artist as well as a singer, Miss Lehmgnn has writ- ten an autobiography and a novel. She has recently completed a group of water colors inspired by Schubert's "Winterreise" song cy- cle which will be reproduced in a new edition of the cycle. reserving an entire dormitory for their use. Allocate Rooms Miss Alice C. Lloyd, Dean of Women, said that by allotting more space to freshmen in each of the dormitories the Dean of Wom- en's Office will be able to house the same number of incoming stu- dents each year. Approximately 35 per cent of the rooms in the entire dormitory system will be set aside for freshmen, 25 per cent for' sophomores, 20 per cent for jun- iors, 15 per cent for seniors and five per cent for graduate stu- dents. The Dean of Women's office plans to accommodate in Mosher- Jordan all present residents who want to remain there, Miss Lloyd said. The main objection to the all- freshman dormitory, according to Miss Lloyd, is that over 200 stu- dents are dislocated and must be rehoused at the end of each year. The four-year house will give continuity of residence to all wom- en in dormitories and will assure eligible freshmen of housing for the remainder of their four years, she pointed out, adding: Continue Traditions "The office also feels that the presence of upperclassmen in a dormitory is a help to freshmen who are trying to adjust to col- lege life. Four-year houses have always been popular because of the value of the traditions which they have developed, and these tradi- tions are impossible in a dormitory where all the residents leave at the end of each year. "Another reason for reverting to the four-year system is that many friendships established during the first year of college are arbitrar- ily broken up when the' freshmen are rehoused. This will be pre- vented by allowing these students who do not leave the dormitory system to live in sorority or league houses to remain in the same house." By BOB LENT For three-quarters Michigan's young basketball team made Illi- nois' Whiz Kids look like a bunch of "has beens,' but once the fabu- lous five exploded there was no stopping them as they roared to a 45-36 victory over the Wolverines before an overflow crowd of 7,400 at Yost Field house last night. Kirk, Green Spark Illini Actually it was a couple of non- Whizzers who provided the spark that set off the fireworks. With only nine minutes to go and the Illini trailing 30-20, Coach Doug Mills inserted the captain of his '45 team, Walt Kirk into the line- up and the big blonde teamed up with center Fred Green to toss in 19 points between them in the remaining time to sew up the ball game. At one time during this stretch, Illinois poured in 18 points while holding the Wolverines to a single free throw. Bill Roberts then tried to put Michigan back in the game by hit- ting with a pivot to make it 36-33 at the threepminute mark. But with the Wolves using a pressing defense, the last few minutes turned into a free throwing con- test with Kirk slipping in the last two of the seven he made, Supru- nowicz getting two, Smiley one, and McCaslin one. In the final minute, Erickson hit with a one hander from the side and Green tipped one in during a melee un- der the basket and the horn sounded ending the game at 45-36. Starts Fast Michigan started out like they'd never heard of the Kids and rushed into a 9-3 lead. Illinois came back to make it 11-9 and tied it at 13-13, but Michigan pulled ahead 18-14 at the half. With Mack Suprunowicz leading the way, the Maize and Blue con- tinued to set the pace after the intermission and ran the count to 3 0-20 to set the stage for the big blowup. At this point Supruno- wicz fell and injured his ankle and the Michigan's lead fell with him. Although he came back into the game later. Michigan could not regain its stride and the Fighting Illini pulled away. See QUINTET, Page 3 Departmient of Labor Blamed In Lons piracy WASHINGTON, Feb. 24-(A)- Labor Department representatives were accused today by the Allis- Chalmers Company of a seeming "conspiracy" with unions to engi- neer government seizure of its plants in a strike now 10 months old. Officials of the firm said this prevented collective bargaining in good faith. They also declared the strike was led by Communists. The Milwaukee manufacturers of farm implements sent five of- ficials to a House Labor Commit- tee hearing on general labor legis- lation to recommend.corrective measures, The strike began last April 29. Now it is limited to the company's West Allis, Wis., plant and Local 248 of the CIO United Auto Work- ers Union. Originally it involved other unions and other Allis- Chalmers plants. The government never took over any of the company properties al- though there were frequent re- parts that such action was in the making. President Truman, asked about them repeatedly at news conferences, always replied that the matter was in the hands of Secretary of Labor Schwellenbach. Now, due to the declaration ending hostilities Dec. 31, the govern- ment's plant seizure power has ex- pired. Proposals for Postponement Are Defeated Langer Blames U.S. Policy for Distrust By The Associated Press WASHINGTON, Feb. 24-An armistice proposal in the Senate's budget fight was shouted down late today and a debate limitation adopted in efforts to reach a vote tomorrow on a $4,500,000,000 slash in President Truman's estimates for the year starting July 1. Leaders at first proposed a night session but.it later became appar- ent the vote could not be reached tonight. Then the debate curb was agreed to. It limits each Sen- ator to 20 minutes of debate on each motion and amendment and on the resolution itself. Senator Murray (D-Mont.) proposed that the fixing of any spending ceiling be delayed un- til April 1. Senator Pepper (D'- Fla.) in another resolution pro- posed a delay until April 2, both were defeated by tumultuous voice votes. "This is budgetary blind man's bluff" Pepper protested declar- ing that Congress does not know now how large a cut can be made. Democratic Leader Barkley, (Ky.) was among those opposing delay. holding that nothing would be gained by it. The house has voted a $6,000,- 000,000 reduction in the Truman estimates. The figure finally ap- proved by Congress probably will be a compromise worked out by a Senate-House Conference committee. Dispatches from Moscow have reported that Russia plans to spend $13,000,000,000 on its mili- tary services this year, compared with $11,200,000,000 proposed by Mr. Truman for the Army and Navy. Sen. Langer (Rep., N.D.) de- clared that even a total budget of $31,500,000,000, as voted by the House, "is an invitation to other countries to arm to get ready for another war, to keep the United States from being the master, the ruler of the world.", He blamed American policy since 1932 for a situation in which, he said, "we find our- selves with few dependable al- lies and the overwhelming pop- ulation of the world standing in actual fear of America." Langer, Chairman of the Senate Civil Service Committee, also re- ported that the number of Fed- eral employes will be reduced to 1,500,000, compared with 2,283,890 on Jan. 1. He set no date for achievement of this figure. Auto Parking Rules Revised Student commuters may now park wherever space is available in "non-restricted" areas reason- ably close to campus during day- time hours, according to Charles Thatcher, assistant to the Direct- or of the Office of Student Af- fairs. The liberalized 'ruling on stu- dent parking is the result of over- crowded campus parking condi- tions. The old regulation required that a student park at all times in the space previously chosen by him and indicated on the reverse side of his permit card. Theerevised rule specifies, how- ever, that after 6 p.m. a commut- er's car must be parked only in the area marked on his permit. Commuters coming in during the day and staying until after 6 p.m. will be expected to move their cars to the proper area or to park there originally.
