LIX, No. 85 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, TUESDIAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1949 PRICE FIVE Five Minute Stall Brings 'M'CageWin Control Ball Beat Badgers,_40-38 By SY SONKIN For five minutes last night, Michigan's cagers played "cat- and-mouse" with Wisconsin at Yost Field House, and eked out a 40-33 verdict over the Badgers. The win strengthens the Maize and Blue's hold on third place and keeps the quintet in the running for the Big Nine title. WITH THREE quarters of the game gone and the visitors closing up to a three-point Wolverine margin, the Maize and Blue called. time out, and then began to put the freeze on the bail. From the time they started until the end of the game, coach Ernie McCoy's boys took and missed a total of three shots, but Wisconsin was held to a similar number of tries in the same period plus a two-point tip-in by center Don Rehfeldt with 15 seconds left to go. During this time Michigan also forced eight personal fouls out of the Badgers, which saw two visi- tors go out of the game on misde- meanors. * * * THEY WERE gaurd Doug Rog- ers, who left with a minute of play remaining, and Rehfeldt, who went to the showers after throw- ing a deliberate tackle on Wol- verine guard Pete Elliott with two seconds to go. On seven fouls Michigan ele- ed to take the ball out of bounds instead of taking the shot, but the block on Elliott was worth a pair of charity throws, so Pete took the bfrst and made it before taking the ball out of bonds. Harold "Bud" Foster, the Badg- er mentor, admitted after the game that Michigan guards Elliott and Bob Harrison had put on an excellent display of stalling, but criticized the Wolverines continu- ally holding onto the ball. REPEATING what he said fol- lowing the Badgers' 47-33 loss to Minnesota, Foster complained that the "possession type" of bas-' ketball used by Michigan and the! Gophers slowed up the game and made it uninteresting for the fans. But he added that "I would use it too, if I had a lead to pro- tect." It was a slow game throughout, with both teams way off in their shooting.4 Michigan sank only 19.7 per1 cent of their throws from the floor, while the visitors hardly did better, dropping in 21A per cent.

In a three-sentence statement, President Alexander G. Ruthven indicated organized labor's boy- cott of the classes brought on the cancellation. * * * BARNEY HOPKINS, secretary- treasurer of the state CIO, said the University was responsible for the boycott. House OK's Government Reform sPlan Truman, Hoover Seeni as VictorsI WASHINGTON -- (I) - The House voted tonight to give President Truman broad perma- nent powers to reorganize the ap- proximately 1,800 government agencies as he chooses, subject to Congressional veto. House action was by 356-9 roll- call. The bill now goes to the Sen- ate. THlE PASSAGE of the first mia- jor item in Mr. Truman's legisla- tive program was a victory not only for him but for former Presi- dent Herbert Hoover. Hlover, head of a commwission studying government reorganization, hias strongly supported the bill. lie said today a $3,000,000,000 saving might result from a thorough overhaul of the government. Administration leaders fought off a barrage of amnenden s to the proposal, most of them offered by Republicans. Most of them were designed to give preferred treatment to i~di- vidual agencies or to revise the re- organization procedure whlic h would be set up. T* HOOVER, at a news conference,' had warned against exempting any agencies He said "Propagan- dists" are behind such moves and that if they arersuccessful, the en- tire reorganization effort would be destroyed. Thessize of the final vote for the bill poted up general bi- partisan support of its general objectives of economy and ef- ficiency in the huge executive branch of the government Under it, Mr. Truman or any .nLicceing president could send gover nmental 1'eoirgiagniz a ioi plans to Congress. and they would become effective unless bothuSen- ate and louse dgfapproved the-n within 60 days. x PrOF. JAMES K . Pollock , chairman of the University's po- litical science department, and a member of the Hoover Commis- sion, called the ouse action ~very gratifying." "If the Sente acts as prompt ly, the President will be able to immediately get to work on our recomendations.w ongfressonal interest in the re-orgaization proposals is most emcouraging," he said. h Text Exchange I Open ratiUnion Used texts may be bought and bold this week at the IFC-spon- ,ored student book exchange in inn 3-C of the Union 'The exchange will be open from 1 to 5 p.m. each day, Those selling texts will set their own price, a spokesman explained, and fill out a form when they leave the book. Checks will be mailed next week, he said. Unsold books may be picked up next week, The exchange will be run on a non-profit basis. The ten ter cent fee collected on each book: will cover the cost of printing the forms and the Michigan sales Labor leaders have previously said the University did not ade- quately consult with them or with the workers' education ad- visory committee before setting up the new program. They have charged that Gen- eral Motors employe Adam K. Stricker's claim that the former program was "Marxist" led the Board of Regents to fire Arthur A. Elder, former director of the pro- gram, and revamp the courses. AFTER A NUMBER of meetings with the workers' education ad- visory committee consisting of University, labor and public rep- resentatives, Extension Service Director Everett J. Soop an- nounced that seven courses would begin the week of Feb. 1. Labor immediately announced its boycott, saying final agree- ment had not been reached in the committee meetings. Three classes were held. No one came to the first, one student ap- peared to register for the second, and none attended the third. ** * IN ANNOUNCING dicontinu- ance of the classes, President Ruthven said: "We regret that the response of the workers for whom the program was designed has not matched the efforts which the University has made to serve their needs.", Hopkins said this "comes as no great surprise to labor, . . We will, however, carry o i our own service now in effect . . . with- out the assistance of the Uni- versity." But, he said, "if there are other state institutions that we can work with, we'll do it." * * * AND IF Federal funds are ex- tended for workers education, "as we expect," the labor organiza- tions' program might be only "temporary." "We are willing to work with State agencies," Hopkins said. IFC To Study Discrinmination Problems of race prejudice and the fraternity will be aired at an Interfraternity Council meeting at 7:30 p.m. today in lam. 3-C of the Union. The meeting will help deter- mine the campus fraternities' views on an anti-discrimination clause proposed at the National Interfraternity Council meeting last fall. The clause would outlaw preju- dice in fraternities on a national basis. Objection to it was raised largely by those who felt the issue should be decided by the indivi- dual chapters.

All pro- ceeds from sale of the J-Hon Daily go to the March of Dimes. Yesterday's all-campus sale of the special paper by Ment- bers of the "M" Club netted nearly $400 for the polio fund. I- Final Mark Expected To lop 20,000 Decrease See lin Vet Registration Early tabulations of the Uni- versity's spring enrollment show that 19,829 students have regis- tered for classes, setting a new record for the spring semester. Although this figure is lower than the fall enrollment, it slight- ly exceeds University expecta- tions for the spring semester. Registrar Ira M. Smith said that' he anticipates that the final en- rollment will pass the 20,00 mark. FOLJOWING a substantial graduation of veterans last se- mester, officials reported a signif- icant decrease of 6.3 per cent in the number of veterans enrolled compared with last fall's record. An even greater decrease in the percentage of veterans is antici- pated next fall. A breakdown of the enroll- ment figures show that 15,012 men and 4,817 won have reg- istered. 862 students less tbami last semester's total of 20,691. Although veterans still out- number non-veterans by 195, there are still 673 less veterans than last semester. The literary college reported the largest enrollment of 6,726 stu- dents, followed by the Graduate School with 3,943 and the engi- neering college with 3,509. These figures do not include approxi- mately 10,000 students through- out the state taking credit and non-credit courses in the Exten- sion Service. THE IIEGISTRA'TI N Tof stu- dents was executed more smooth- ly than usual, according to As- sistant Registrar, Edward G. Groesbeck. "The cooperation of most students in arriving at their appointed times enabled us to maintain lines of usually less than 20 students," he said. To protect waiting students fron the cold winds outside of Waterman Gym, the lines were routed through the weight-lift- ing room in the basement for the first time this semester. Although several departments reported slightly decreased en- rollments, Professor Lewis G. Van- der Velde, chairman of the His- tory Department reported a re- ord enrcllneut. of 4,02 Nearly 100 students had to be turned away from the History 180 course as the doors were closed when the room capacity of 266 was reached. WITH HUNDREDS of students jamming local bookstores, store managers experienced especially harrowing days. One manager said that many students had ap- parently forgotten about buying books over the big .J1-Hlo4 week- end. Although molt students sr- vived the first day of classes with- out serious mishap, it was renort- ed that one freshman girl arrived at a men's basketball section in Waterman Gym. 1'.

The plans for the structure, which would house 1150 men stu- dents, are still in the tentative stage, however, according to Uni- versity Vice-President Robert P. Briggs. THE PROPOSED dormitory would be situated Just south of the Union and the West Quad- rangle, in the block bounded by State, Madison, Thompson, and Monroe streets. Fraternity houses on State Street and the corner of Thompson and Madison streets would not be disturbed. All the other properties in the biogk would have to be acquired, how- ever, to make room for the new building, Briggs said, The University already owns some of the properties in the block. ALSO, AS PART of the tentaw tive program, the triangular piece of land bounded by Madison, Thompson and Packard streets, may be purchased for recreatior- al purposes. At present there is only one private residence on .hi land. Although the planning has progressed sufficiently so that the Universlty has requested property owners in the block to permit appraisers to examine their properties, three main hurdles are yet to be cleared Briggs emphasized. He pointed out that the ulti- mate success of the program de- pends upon the University's abil- ity to: 1-Acquire the property at rea- sonable prices. 2-Obtain financing for the building, and, 3-Arrange a satisfactory con- structiori contract. * * * A NEW MEN'S dormL ,ry is long overdue, Briggs pointed out. "Since the war, our enrollment has increased by more than 8,000," he declared: "In the same period the only men's dormitory to be constructed is the addition to the East Quadrangle," he point- ed out. At present about 150 students live in the block on which the building would be erected. These students would not be required to move this semester since con- struction would not be started before the end of the college year. The present inhabitants of the housing in the block generally agreed that they would regret moving but that a new dormtory seemed to be a necessity. * d 9 A FORMER CAMPUS houze mother, who lives in a Monroe St. apartment, agreed that students should have clean and comfort- able places to live, but thought that it was too bad that good living quarters should have to be torn down to make room for the new dormitory. Teh Fu Yu, '49 BAd., express- ed concern for the future hous- ing of foreign students. One of the fraternity men whose house would be spared said, "We've put up with the West Quadrangle thus far, and I guess we can stand another dormitory," as he glanced at a snowball-bro- ken window. "I graduate in June," he added.
