Winter Carnival

Events

By ALICE BRINKMAN
Crammers note: A-B-C is all you need to know on one subject--
Winter Carnival.
The Arboretum, Burns Park, and the Coliseum will be the back-
ground for a flurry of snow and ice contests Feb. 2 and 3 climaxed by
the Ice Show at the Coliseum.
WINTER CARNIVAL is being revived under Union-League spon-
sorship after an eight year absence from campus. The first carnivals
in 1939 and 1940 were chiefly processional skating shows, Pat McKen-
na, co-chairman of the Carnival said,
The 1949 winter sports festival with skiing, skating, tobog-
ganing, snowsculpture and dancing was inspired by the 1941 event=
which included all these and even "Silver King," ruler of the
affair.
The 1941 Carnival was planned to outstrip all former ones.
Plans were laid, the stage was set, "Silver King" (Forest Evashevski)
was chosen-and Ann Arbor had "the mildest winter in 50 years."
THIS YEAR if the weather rnan does not cooperate, he will at
least have to compfomise, the committee says.
He cannot stop "Loafer's Loft" the informal record dance
from 9 to 12 p.m. Wednesday in the "ski lodge" or the Ice Show
at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in the Coliseum.
The league ballroom will be the ski lodge complete with fireplace,
and sports trappings.
SPORTS CLOTHES of most any description will be the thing to
wear.
Permission until 12:30 p.m. has been granted for all women
attending the dance.

For another 50 cents, you can see Silver King, ruler of the carni-
val, unveilevd at the beginning of the ice show, snow or no. He will
preside over the program which includes figure skating competion,
several acts by the University Ice Skating Club, a crazy relay, a stud-
ent-faculty broomball game and the presentation of final awards, in-
eluding silver dollars for Silver King guessers.
SILVER KING, II, will climax the evening by presenting house
trophies to the houses which amass the most points on all events.
Point totals will mount by 10, 5, or 3 for first, seconds and
thirds respectively. Blue and red ribbons will be sported by first
and second place individual winners.
Events leading up to the awards will begin at 1 p.m. Wednesday
in the Arboretum if there is two inches of snow. After cross-country
skiing obstacle races, modified slalom type, and a three legged race
tobogganers will take over in a distance contest. Pile-on tobogganing
will follow.
ENTRANTS MUST BRING their own toboggans, and men must
provide their own skis. 25 pairs of skis are available to rent to women
at WAB.
Geddes entrance to the Arboretum will be used for all events.
Alpha Phi Omega, boy scout service fraternity will help officiate
at the contests.
An old fashioned atmosphere will be injected in the frolic with
horse-drawn cutter rides in the Arboretum, and a hayride beginning
at 1:30 p.m. Thursday. The hayride will carry students from the mall
to the skating party at Burns Park, which will be followed by skating
races at 4 p.m. If there is no ice, the party will be at the Coliseum,
minus the rates.

Daily-Alex Lmanian.
NAKING PLANS-Pat McKenna, Dick Slocum, and Nancy Hess, (L. to R.) are shown making plans
for Winter Carnival, the sports event which will take place Feb. 2 and 3.

WASHINGTON - (P) - Dean
Acheson scornfully rejected de-
scriptions of himself as an "ap-
peaser" toward Russia and prom-
ised to root any Reds out of the
State Department.
Acheson is President Truman's
choice as the new Secretary of
State.
TESTIFYING before the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee,
Acheson volunteered the comment
that lie is still "friends" with Al-
ger Hiss.
f lIe suggested, by implication,
that judgment on hiss' guilt or
innocence should await the out-
come of his perjury trial.
As the jam-packed hearing went
on, a heralded possible source of
opposition to Acheson's confirma-
tion failed to develop. Former As-
sistant Secretary of State Adolph
A. Berle, Jr., telegraphed the Sen-
ate Committee "I do not oppose
his (Acheson's) confirmation and
no implications to that effect are
warranted.'
. BERLE SAID it was true that
in the fall of 1944 he and Acheson
differed on Russian policy. He said
he had no confidence that Rus-
sian expansionism could be halted
by a policy of wide concessions.

However, Tournament of

c'ena and are hugging it like a
fumbled football.
The key is a gilded, three

In Palestine
i The Associated Press
President Truman threw the
weight of American foreign policy
behind permanent peace in Pal-
estine as representatives of the
Jewish and an Arab government
sat down together on the Island
of Rhodes to selve their problems.
Truman endorsed a program
submitted to the UN Nov. 20. It
calls for 1. Establishment and
maintenance of peace in the Pal-
estine area, 2. Attainment of a po-
litical settlement contributing to
the stability and economic well-
being of the Middle East, and 3.
Reconciliation of Arab and Jewish
communities "in matters affecting
Palestine."
MEANWHILE, as Israelis and
Egyptians opened te talks, Dr.
R alph Bunche acting UN imedia-
tor, urged "all governmen t's" not
directly involved to ieepbands
off in order not to jeopardize the
conference.
Although Bunche named non
government, his statement was
accepted as a reference to Brit-
tain.
"I have in inid no only the
governments directly involved but
those as well whose interests impel
them to keep close surveillance on
nmdevelopments in the area," he
said.

Income Tax
Raise Hinted
By President
Middle Bracket
To Be Affected
WASHINGTON -(A')- Presi-
dent Truman suggested by impli-
cation yesterday that Congress
increase the taxes on individual
incomes of $6,000 or more.
He told a news conference the
Treasury defines "middle brack-
et"' incomes, which he had sug-
gested as a possible source for
new revenue, as those starting at
$6,000 and going up to $25,000 or
$30,000 a year.
IN HIS STATE of the Union
message the President asked for
$4,000,000,000 in new taxes. H
said this should come principally
from additional corporation tax-
es, with a portion coming from
revised estate and gift taxes.
He also said in the same mes-
sage that consideration should
be given to raising personal in-
come levies on "middle and up-
per bracket" incomes. He did
not specify the range exactly.
When a reporter tried to clear
this up, Mr. Truman mentioned
the Treasury minimum as $6,000
for the middle bracket, but he
added with a smile it all depends
on the point of view. If you make
$6,000, you probably want the
middle bracket to start at $10,000.
A reporter wanted to know how
Mr. 'Truman felt about the late
President Roosevelt's proposal to
limit indivi dual incomes after
tax s to $;25,000 a year.

8:30 p.m. tomorrow and 2:30 p.m.

State Budget
Chops Funds
To University
Governor Drops
'U' Building Plan
LANSING-(M)-In his annual
budget message to the Legislature,
Gov. Williams chopped $700,000
from University operating fund
requests and failed entirely to
include funds for its proposed ex-
pansion program.
Of the $539,000,000 budget, the
Governor recommended $11,800,-
000 for the University, which rep-
resented a substantial .
over last year's $9,750,000 figure.
THE FISCAL program will put
the state $61 million in the red.
An $80 million operating deficit
will be reduced from a surplus
over the current fiscal year.
The Governor told ar cold and
fearful Legislature that reduced
services or deficit financing
were the only alternatives to
additional taxes.
He said the deficit would re-
sult from "inherited" reasons
rather than his wide program of
social legislation.
* * *
AT THE University, hopes for
an $8 million expansion program
-including four new buildings
and drawing up plans for three
more-visibly dimmed when the
Governor forgot funds for con-
struction on either University or
MSC campuses.
($500,492 was also clipped
from MSC's hopedfor $8,500,-
492 operation request.)
Plans called for the construc-
tion of an addition to Angell Hall,
an addition to the General Li-
brary, an addition to the heating
plant and a new motor vehicle
service building.
THE GOVERNOR told the Leg-
islaturehe would return Feb. 1,
with another message outlining
specific proposals for new taxes.
Republicans, who were not
surprised to see red ink in the
budget, saw red.
In the Senate, where the GOP
majority is in complete control,
sentiment was heavily against ad-
ditional taxes.
House members eyed the pros-
pect fearfully but conceded pri-
vately there may be no alternative.

:A)

A University crackdown on the
practice of terminating dormitory
residence hall contracts in the
middle of the school year has
raised a howl of protest from ttu-
dents.
The crackdown came to light
this week when a number of
newly-pledged fraternity men re-
quested permission to leave the
dormitories and move into their
fraternity houses. A number of
independent men also asked to
leave the dorms for the second se-
mester.
PERMISSION was refused by
Residence Halls Business Manag-
er Francis Shiel who said that a

student signs a yearly dormitory
contract in good faith and is ex-
pected to stay there until it ex-
pires.
Until this semester residence
halls officials had been glad to
cancel room contracts when re-
quested by students because of
the acute housing shortage. Now
Shiel feels that the housing sit-
uation has eased and refuses
to let students cancel second se-
mester dormitory contracts.
Both West Quad President Ray
Oknonski and East Quad Presi-
dent Jerry Ryan are opposed to
the University's policy.
