THE MICHIGAN DAILY THURSDAY, JANUARY 18, 1951 0,000 'DREAM' HOUSE: Raffle Prize Troubles 'Lucky' Winner UNWRITTEN RULE: Campus Ban on Queens Gets Varied Comment Budget Pointers By MARY LETSIS Winning a $30,000 house on a 50-cent chance brought nothing but one headache after another to Barney Bach, '51E, until a buy- er showed up with a $23,000 as- pirin. That's how Barney summed it all up after he had recuperated from his unusual headache. * * * IRONICALLY ENOUGH, Barney was talked into buying the ticket by his brother. "I've never won a thing in my life, and I didn't see how I'd be lucky this time," he said. "Reluctantly, I bought the ticket and filed it away in a draw- er, kissing the 50 cents goodbye." The drawing was held on Sep- tember 10 to raise building funds for the St. Frances Cabrini Church in Allen Park. "I was on my vacation when my mother called to tell me the news. I cut my vacation short to come home and claim the house-and from then on, nothing but trou- ble, trouble, trouble!" he mourned. * * * "THE INTERNAL Revenue boys were the first to congratulate me on my good fortune, coming up with a request for $8,500 as income tax due. The $75 a month I was getting from the government as a veteran looked like peanuts up against it," he mused. Barney's first move was to ap- ply for a bank loan to pay for the income tax, but he was re- fused because he didn't have a steady income. And I couldn't possibly raise that much money from any other source," he said. "It was such a beautiful ranch- type house, I hated the thought of selling it. But it was the only way I could pay the tax. As if things weren't black enough, Barney had an automo- bile accident on a return trip from showing the house to prospective buyers. But December 22 was Barney's lucky day-he sold the house for more than $23,000. a l MID-YEAR GRADUATES Seeking clinical experience in keeping with the field of psychology and sociology or those interested in human relations.

It's not so much that the young ladies are physically at fault-it's an unwritten University rule. Official opinion has it that the tradition goes back to early days in University history. Frank Rob- bins, assistant to the president, noted that there has never been a campus queen in his knowledge. * * * "AS FAR as I know it's just Editor To Talk In journalism Series Lecture Basil L. Walters, executive edi- tor of Knight Newspapers, Inc., will appear on the University Lec- tures in Journalism series tomor- row afternoon and will address members of Sigma Delta Chi at their initiation banquet tomorrow evening. Walters' afternoon lecture will be before a journalism assembly at 3 p.m. in Rm. 2003 Angell Hall. He will answer questions of stu- dents at an informal coffee hour at 4 p.m. in the Department of Journalism news room. The editor began his newspaper career as a reporter on the Rich- mond Palladium in 1915. During World War I he served as a ser- geant in the U. S. ambulance ser- vice. After the war he resumed his journalistic career, and, after holding a series of editorial posi- tions on mid-western newspapers, he was given the job of executive editor of Knight Newspapers in 1944. Knight Newspapers Inc. is made up of the Detroit Free Press, Chicago Daily News, Akron Bea- con Journal and the Miami Her- ald. Kopac To Speak Speaking on "'The Properties of Cytoplasmic Particles," M. J. Ko- pac, Professor of Biology at New York University, will address a zoology seminar at 7:30 p.m. today in Rackham Amphitheatre. Professor Kopac's work is unique in that he studies the physical and chemical properties of protoplasm, using the living cell. At the Union's 'I something that is understood, hav- ing never been set down." Information service director Arthur L. Brandon agreed that the no-queen rule is an under- stood University policy. "It would be unfair to hold such contests as are used to select queen's." He pointed out that with more than 4,000 queens it would be dif- ficult to select one in any beauty contest. DEAN OF WOMEN Deborah Ba- con said that although she wasnot sure of the ruling's history, she throughly agreed with the prin- ciple behind it. "I believe that such publicity is the least important aspect of an institution such as this." BLEB BALL Students generally went along with the ruling. Betty Bridges, '52, summed up student opinion by saying that contests to choose queens place undue emphasis on beauty, and often end in hard feelings. BUT A FEW students, mostly men, saw some advantage in hav- ing beauty contests. Bob Preston, '51, IFC vice- president, said as long as the elections are conducted honest- ly the affairs should be interest-' ing for the males. "Of course,' they may create some petty jea-' lousies for the women," he ad- mitted. And 'Ensian editor Paul Sage, '51, remarked that a queen adds a lot to campus functions-Home- coming and J-Hop. He explained that if queens reigned over several big dances the 'Ensian could de- vote a special section to the beau- ties as many other yearbooks do. "All this talk about unpretty women coming to Michigan just isn't true. There is a big choice of queens here." But one of Sage's associate edi- tors, Dave Leddick, '51, disagreed with his boss. "You can't squeeze blood from a turnip," Leddick said. State CIO Leader To Lecture Here August Scholle, chairman of the Michigan CIO Political Action Committee, will speak at 11 p.m. tomorrow in Rn. 2203 Angell Hall on "Labor's Role in Politics." The lecture will be a part of the course requirements for Poli- tical Science 113, American Politi- cal Parties and Elections. All per- sons not enrolled in the course in- terested in attending the' lecture should immediately contact Prof. Samuel J. Eldersveld of the poli- tical science department in Rm. 2032 Angell Hall, University ex- tension 532, or at 2-7327. BUDGET EXPLAINED-President Harry S. Truman points out a chart where the new high taxes demanded in his annual budget will be coming from and where the money will go. ThePresident asked for a record peacetime budget of 71 billion dollars, to be balanced by a 16 billion dollar tax increase. Government expendi- tures in 1951 would total 18% of the national income, by 1952 25%. Proposed Tax Raise Needed For Defense Effort -- Musgrave Saturday, January 20, By HARLAND BRITZ "If we are to prepare an ade- quate defense program in an or- derly way, the President's tax re- quests seem entirely in order," ac- cording to Prof. Richard Mus- grave of the economics depart- ment. He was commenting on the bud- get message that the President gave on Monday, in which he asked for a 16 billion dollar in- crease in taxes in order to balance a budget of 71 billion. BY RAISING this revenue, Prof. Musgrave pointed out, we would not only provide for our defense machine, but we would have an effective means of checking infla- tion. "Only if an all out tax ef- fort is made and large borrowing is avoided will inflation pressures be held in check sufficiently to make direct controls workable," he added. Prof. Musgrave suggests that the taxing could be done in various ways. Above all he sug- gested a tax on general expendi- tures. This would be paid In the same way that income taxes are now paid and provision would be made for exemptions. This plan, he feels, would avoid the inequities of a sales tax, and besides, would provide a greater incentive to save. This of course would be another way of fighting inflation. .* * * AN EXPENDITURES tax, which is the ideal from the economists' viewpoint, was proposed in 1942 by the Treasury Department, but at that time got nowhere. He also said that a higher income tax rate should be ex- pected. Because they do the most spending, Prof. Musgrave feels that the middle and lower, though not necessarily the low- est, income groups should feel the biggest brunt of the added taxes. Some of the additional yield might come from excise taxes on certain items, he said. Prof. Musgrave also suggested that joint returns be made manda- tory in income tax payments. This would push many more people into higher tax brackets, thus pro- viding more yield in an equitable' fashion. He also advised breaking in half the lowest tax bracket which now includes all incomes to $2,000. He would apply a higher tax rate of 30% on the group from $1,000 to $2,000 and a rate of 20% to the group from 0 to $1,000.

Briggs traced the history of campus buildings and relate'd some of the problems of residence hall man- agement to assembled speech de- partment students in Rackham Lecture Hall yesterday. Briggs revealed that out of 19 items of construction labeled as "ipimediate needs" in a report to the governor in 1943, nine of them have been met, five have been partially met, and plans and spec- ifications are completed for two others. Speaking of the Angell Hall ad- dition, the new Medical Rese'arch Building, and the Outpatient Cli- nic Building, all rising or soon to rise on campus, Briggs declared the University is not expanding haphazardly. "It is important. to note," he said, "that virtually every build- ing designed and built since 1945 has been located in accordance with the program evolved in 1943. The. campus development has fol- lowed a master plan"' Speaking of campus archite- ture, Briggs amazed the students with the fact that several promi- nent architects, having visited our campus, chose the Economics building as the architectural beau- ty of all the buildings.
