New Liquor Ban Will Be
Studied by SAC Today
Student Protest Mounting On Controversial
Revised Interpretation of Conduct Ruling
Discussion of the new "liquor ban" has been placed on the agenda
of the Student Affairs Committee, which will meet at 3 p.m. today.
This latest development follows mounting student protest of the
University's revised interpretation of student conduct rules. A state-
ment to be issued following the meeting will be published in tomor-
row's Daily.
Inquiries are already flooding the Student Affairs Offices. Among
the questions reported by the secretary was that of a student who
asked: "I have a date for the movie tonight. Is it all right to go if we
sit two seats apart?"
AVC To Draft
Cost of LIVMg
Questionnaire
Renew Campaign
To Boost Subsistence
A cost of living questionnaire, to
be distributed to and completed
by veterans throughout the state
as the opening gun of a renewed
campaign for increased subsis-
tence, is currently being drafted
by AVC's campus chapter, it was
disclosed yesterday.
The chapter, which conducted
a similar survey at the University
last year, was commissioned to
handle the statewide probe at a
caucus meeting here of veteran
delegates from colleges and uni-
versities throughout the state.
Last Year's Efforts
(The results of last year's sur-
vey Were sent on to Washington
and used as testimony of veterans'
needs in Congressional commit-
tees. According to George Anton-
ofsky, AVC delegate, the survey
was "very effective in convincing
reluctant Congressmen of such
needs.")
(In the last Congressional ses-
sion, the Senate approved a sub-
sistence increase, but the measure
failed to come to a vote in the
House.)
Also at the meeting, panels were
set up to consider the questions
of housing and the educational
problems brought on by the great-
ly increased enrollments. The
groups will draw up programs of
action and will submit them be-
fore a second meeting of the plan-
ning body at Wayne's campus on
Oct."26.
Another Conference Scheduled
Anothey statewide conference,
scheduled for Dec. 13 in East
Lansing will nap out a final pro-
gram to be presented in Washing-
ton when the new Congressional
session opens.
Attending the caucus meeting
here were men and women vet-
erans from the University, Michi-
gan State College, Alma College,
Michigan Central College, Wayne
University and Ypsilanti Normal
School.
Antonofsky, who chairmaned
the proceedings was elected tem-
porary president of the new plan-
ning group.
ci' To Tigyhten
ParkingRules
University authorities are going
to crackdown on parking viola-
tions in the campus area.
Unauthorized drivers have been
parking in restricted parking
areas on the campus, according
to John Gwinn, Office of Student
Affairs official. After Friday of
this week violators will be penal-
ized.
Parking areas in the campus
area are restricted to persons
holding the faculty rating of in-
structor or higher. Special dis-
pensations have been made for
disabled students who have cars.
However the parking areas are
already inadequate for authorized
vehicles, Gwinn said.
Campus police officers have
been checking license plates of all
cars parked in the restricted areas
and after Friday violators will be
penalized, he said.
Inter-Fraternity Council will co-
operate fully with the University
in carrying out the liquor rules
"at present," according to Henry
Meyer, president. He added:
"Personally I feel the University
has overstepped its bounds."
No comment was made by either
the president of Panhellenic or
Assembly.
Other sources revealed that
alumni of individual fraternities
have been contacted to consider
the issue.-
Letters of protest have been
pouring in to The Daily editorial
officies. An unsigned letter from
a Stockwell resident reads:
"I am a Michigan coed. I
went to the game Saturday.
I saw a man with a bottle,
so I went home. Did I do right?"
The Student Affairs Committee,
which will consider the question

letters concerning student
drinking, see page four.
today, is composed of campus
leaders, faculty members and Uni-
versity officials.
Three members of the Univer-
sity Senate, appointed by the Pre-
sident, the Dean of Women, deans
of the various schools of the Uni-
versity and the Dean of Students
were included in the group which
drew up the conduct rules upon
which the controversial interpre-
tations are based.
Distillers Will
Close Plants
WithoutDelay
WASHINGTON, Oct. 13-')-
Chairman Charles Luckman of the
Citizens Food Committee an-
nounced today that virtually the
whole distilling industry will close
down for 60 days at midnight Oct.
25, to conserve grain for shipment
to Western Europe.
Luckman told reporters after a
three-hour session with industry
spokesmen that 36 of the 39 dis-
tillery companies had agreed to
close down.
The decision was made despite
a plea of the AFL Distillery Work-
ers' Union for a ten-day delay be-
fore ordering action.
Luckman told reporters that
the industry executives estimated
the unemployment in the shut-
down at 2,500 to 7,500 workers,
as against union estimate ranging
from 30,000 to 100,000.
Bottling, shipping, selling, main-
tenance and other distillery opera-
tions will continue, Luckman ex-
plained, and some of the distill-
ers already have discussed with
the food committee the possibility
of reassigning the laid-off em-
ployes to other jobs.
Tickets Available
Combination game and train
tickets for the Illinois-Michigan
game, scheduled for Nov. 1, are
now available, according to Don
Greenfield, of the Wolverine Club.
Seats on the 40 and 50 yard
lines are still available for the
game, which will be played at
Champaign. The special train will
leave Ann Arbor at 6:30 a.m.
Tickets for the Northwestern
game will be sold until noon to-
day, it was announced by Bob
Morgan, Alumni Staff Secretary.
Train tickets, alone however, may
be had until 6:30 a.m. Saturday,
which is the hour the train will
leave Ann Arbor.

By The Associated Press
NEW YORK, Oct. 13-For the
first time in more than three
years, a college eleven other than
Army, Notre Dame or Texas was
given top rating when Michigan
today was voted the nation's num-
ber one football team, in the As-
sociated Press weekly poll.

point total for three winning
games to 173, received tremendous
support with 93 first place votes,
29 seconds and a total of 1,258
points from 131 sports writers
from coast to coast.
Notre Dame Ranks Second
Notre Dame, which held the
number one position inthe final
poll of 1946 and was installed in
the top slot again in this season's
first poll last week just ahead of
Michigan, slipped a notch into
second place with 1,103 points.
The Fighting Irish, despite their
22-7 triumph over Purdue, their
second straight win this season,
received only 23 first place votes
with 55 writers picking them sec-
ond.
Texas, a power in the South-
west, was third with 996 points, on
the strength of 10 first place votes,
35 seconds and 48 thirds. The un-
defeated Longhorns, with four vic-
tories including a convincing
34-14 triumph over Oklahoma
Saturday, was the only other team
to get more than two first place
votes. The remaining five first
place picks were divided thusly:
Wake Forest two, Georgia Tech,
Illinois and Minnesota one each.
Although receiving no better
than a second place vote, of which
they got but four, California's
Golden Bears picked up enough
thirds, fourth and fifth to nose
out unbeaten and unscored upon
Georgia Tech for fourth place,
674 points to 623.
Echo from Big Nine
The Bears, under the helm of
Coach Lyn Waldorf, former
Northwestern mentor, trampled
Wisconsin 48-7 for their fourth
straight victory. Georgia trech
handed Virginia Military Insti-
tute its first defeat 20-0.
Although held to a scoreless
draw by Army, Illinois, 1946 Big
Nine champions, was installed in
sixth place over the Cadets 529
points to 476. It is the lowest rat-
ing of an army team in four years.
New Training
Plan Revealed
ROTC Graduates to
Be Commissioned
Direct commissioning of quali-
fied ROTC graduates is part of re-
cent plans announced by the Army
and Air Force departments, ac-
cording to Col. Karl E. Henion,
chairman of the military science
department.
Under the plans for expansion
of the Regular Officers Corps,
candidates for direct commissions
must be graduating students of a
recognized college or university.
Candidates will be screened and
evaluated for outstanding quali-
ties of leadership and military ap-
titude by school and military au-I
thorities. They must also pass
physical examinations and appear
before a board of officers, who
will determine the final selection.
There are no restrictions on the
number of honor graduates who
may apply.
For those students who are not
honor graduates, but desire a com-
mission, applications will be tak-
en for a two year competitive tour
of duty. This tour is a period of
observed active duty during which
time the candidate must demon-
strate his fitness for appointment
in the Regular Army or Air Force.
Upon completion of this duty

ROME, Oct. 13-The Commu-
nist-dominated "people's bloc" was
ahead tonight on the strength of
nearly complete returns from yes-
terday's Rome City election, but
had lost ground to the Vatican-
supported Christian Democrats
since the previous election last
November.
Racial Association and the Ameri-
can Veterans Committee were
present to back up the charge of
the Walpole Committee of par-
ents that the school districts were
re-zoned on the basis of race.
W. A. Kraus, chairman of the
School Board, heard the charges
of Jim Crowism, and the opinion
of the group was that the lives of
the children are being endangered
by the necessity of their walking
down a busy thoroughfare.
Kraus explained to the parents
the difficulty involved in re-zoning
the area, and stated that the
school board had not intended to
discriminate in any manner by its
previous re-zoning.
The Walpole Committee, lead by
Mrs. T. Snyder, requested that the
board reconsider its previous
move.
Mrs. Snyder stated that the
Walpole Committee has presented
several counter-measures in or-
der to alleviate crowding at Ross
school, but that the board has re-
fused to give any serious consider-
ation.
The simplest solution, she stat-
ed, would be to transfer the white
children living directly across the
street from Ross school, into the
Ross school district.
She concluded that this action
would eliminate charges of Jim
Crowism in Village schools, and
also do away with the danger in-
volved in Walpole children en-
countering heavy traffic.

Storm Veers
Toward Coast
From Ocean
Center Will Come'
Near Cape Hatteras
MANTEO, N.C., Oct. 13-(IP)-
The North Carolina outer banks
braced tonight for gale winds
and heavy seas as the freak tropi-
cal storm veered toward the
coast from the Atlantic Ocean.
With winds estimated at 75 to
100 miles an hour in the center,
the storm was cutting northward
from a point 190 miles southeast
of Cape Hatteras at 4:30 p.m. to-
day.
Grady Norton, chief forecaster
for the Miami Weather Bureau,
said the center would come "pret-
ty close" to Cape Hatteras, but
still off-shore.
Storm Warnings
Northeast storm warnings were
up from Cape Hatteras to Wil-
mington, Del.
Winds tonight were increasing
in intensity along the banks. A
velocity of 35 to 40 miles an hour,
northeast, was reported at 8 p.m.
at Fort Macon, 80 miles south-
west of the village of Hatteras.
The barometer reading was 29.75
and was failing.
At the Diamond Shoals Light-
ship, winds up to 48 miles per
hour, northeast, were reported at
8 p.m., with dropping barometer
reading 29.81.
Housing Problems
Meanwhile, rising flood waters
treated grave problems of health
and housing for parts of the Low-
er Florida east coast lashed by
wind and torrential rains Satur-
day.
In the worst affected sections of
Greater Miami-Hialeah and Mi-
ami Springs-national guardsmen
were summoned for armed patrol
duty. Col. Robert A. Ballard, com-
manding the units, emphasized
that martial law had not been de-
clared in the suburban areas.
At least 12,000 persons were re-
ported homeless in the two towns,
with many other parts of Dade
County under water and homes
evacuated. Broward and Palm
Beach counties also were among
those which were taking a beat-
ing from high water.
Flood damage to more than
3,000 homes in the Miami section
was placed at $4,500,000.

Russia Backs
Partition Plan
For Palestine
Jolnson Lands
Soviet Decision
By The Associated Press
LAKE SUCCESS, Oct. 13-Russia
lined up with the United States
today behind a proposal to parti-
tion Palestine into seperate Jewish
and Arab countries.
This rare instance of agreement
between the two Big Powers
brought an immediate statement
from the United States delegation
expressing "gratification" over the
Soviet declaration.
Tonight the United States
and Sweden proposed jointly
that the United Nations assem-
bly's Palestine committee should
go ahead with drafting a spei-
fic plan for future government
of the Holy Land based on par-
tition lines.
The Swedish-American resolu-
tion on Palestine called for crea-
tion of a sub-committee which
would report back by Nov. 3.
The resolution proposed that
the basis should be the unanimous
recommendations and majority
report of the 11-member United
Nations special committee on
Palestine (UNSCOP) calling for
partition.
A spokesman for the Jewish
Agency, official voice of Palestine
Jews, welcomed the Soviet state-
ment as a step which might "go
far to ensure a constructive solu.-
tion" of the Palestine problem.
Russia's declaration came as
representatives of the six Arab
countries in the United Nations
called a caucus for tonight to
discuss "new instructions re-
ceived from their governments
on the basis of the U. S. declara-
tion last Saturday in favor of
partition.
The Arab countries apparently
had hoped until the last that
Russia would support a plan for
a federalized bi-national country.
This plan would be less objection-
able to the Arabs than the parti-
tion project.
Russia's Paletine policy de-
claration was made by Semen K.
Tsarapkin, who said the plan for
a bi-national government, recom-
mended by a minority of the U. N.
Special Committee On Palestine
(NUSCOP), has "its advantages"
but cannot be "put into practice"
because of present Arab-Jewish
tension.
Tsarapkin said that in view of
these difficulties the United Na-
tions must turn to the majority
recommendations for partition "as
this plan is under the present cir-
cumstances the one which could
be better put into practice."
Bomb Blast
Hurts Two iM
U.S. Consulate
JERUSALEM, Oct. 13-(A)-A
bomb was tossed at the United
States Consulate today and an
Arab informant said tonight the
attack was by a member of an
Arab group constituting the
"striking force" of the exiled
Mufti of Jerusalem.
The informant said that Amer-
icans had been warned by tele-
phone to quit the consulate before
the bomb was thrown and advised
to "leave Palestine." A consular
official denied the statement, say-
ing that no telephone "or any
other warning was received.
Two women employes of the
consulate-one an American
citizen-were inured in the
blast.
Authorities said earlier that
they believed the bomb tosser was
a woman who walked into a
guarded dead end street, threw
the bomb into a consulate garden,
and got away.
The explosion came amid
mounting tension in the Holy
Land over unconfirmed reports
of Syrian and Lebanese troops
massed on the northern fron-
tier.
It was the third attack in re-
cent weeks on consulates of na-
tions favoring partition of Pal-
estine, and the Arab informant
declared the French and Czecho-
slovakian consulates were "next
on the list for warning bombs."
New Plan Means
Faster Wedlock
You can get married quicker
now, but at the same time you
can't stall around after you get
your license as you could before,
according to Mrs. Luella Smith,
county clerk.
A state law which became ef-
fective yesterday allows couples
to count the day they apply for
their license on the five-day wait-
ing period for the license.
However, licenses issued up to
yesterday are valid indefinitely,
whereas unused ones issued now
become void after 30 days.
19 DAYS ON RAINWA 1
Progress toward settlement of
student complaints leveled against
food at West Lodge Cafeteria was
indicated at a meeting between
students and E. Thomas, manager
of the cafeteria, late yesterday.
Presiding at the meeting was F.
C. Shiel, manager of residence
halls who stated that the Univer-
sity has made an investigation,
following publication in The Daily
of a letter from two students, Ed-
ward Norbeck and Carroll Barber,
charging that food served at West
Lodge was poorly prepared and
unappetizing.
Shiel stated that in his opinion
students are satisfied with the
present setup and that there
should not be much more diffi-
culty.
Elizabeth Langsdale, resident
dietitian at West Lodge, explained
that meals are planned to provide
a more balanced diet, and that
sanitation of the cafeteria is im-
mensely improved since its man-
agement by University authorities.
