Change in CampuJ Structure Planned SInvestig'ation Begun on Causes Of Government 'Over-organization' (Editor's ote: This is the first of two interpretive articles dealing with the possibilities of reorganizing student government on campus.) , By CRAWFORD YOUNG S A revamping of the entire structure of campus oganization, with the emergence of a new and more powerful student government, may be in the wind. An Investigation of the present intricate set-up and the various power relationships is now underway, under the sponsorship of Student Legislature. The focus of criticism of the status quo seems to fall on "over- By BOB KEITH (Daily City Editor) Newsmen from papers and press services throughout this part of the state have been called to a special University-arranged press con- ference at 9 a.m. this morning to hear an announcement of consider- able significance to the future of the University and the community of Ann Arbor. Although no official advance word has been given on the nature of the press announcement, The Daily has learned from numerous unquestionable sources that it will deal with the long-contemplated northward expansion of the University to new and untouched lands north of the Huron River. * * * * THE ADMINISTRATION itself has maintained an official silence on the subject up to now. It is known, however, that the purpose of the multi-million dollar development is to provide the University with a large open land area for its rapidly expanding research program. The entire development is expected to eventually provide the University with a unique "research campus' in the rolling hills north of the river. Complete details will be revealed at this morning's press confer-, ence, but the following information can be given with little question as to its authenticity: The project will cover two hundred acres of land which the Uni- versity has bought up during the past two years. Specifically, it will be located northeast of Ann Arbor near the newly-completed Veterans Administration Hospital. Among buildings scheduled for the area is the long-awaited structure which will house the student-inspired Michigan Memor- ial Phoenix Project for atomic energy research. Also planned is a building for the Engineering Research Institute, a dynamically growing arm of the University which, according to published reports, last year handled more than $3,000,000 in research contracts from government and industry. *[ * * The Daily has learned that construction will begin shortly on both buildings. TOP ADMINISTRATORS have declined to say anything specific about the project, but with involvement of scores of persons and practically every department on the east side of campus it could hard- ly be kept a secret. Many of these departments will eventually move to the new area themselves. Laboratories for automotive research, aircraft study and various other engineering projects have been mentioned for inclusion in the area, along with atomic research programs. It is understood, however, that definite plans for transplanting many University branches to the center are not yet completely formu- lated. Some sources predict it will take years before the coitem- plated research and development center assumes its full proportions. A."master plan" has reportedly already been drawn up, however, allocating much of the land to specific departments and projects. Funds have already been raised for the Phoenix Bldg. and the Engineering Research Institute. The Institute has existed on campus for 30 years and has led research on more than 2,000 subjects during this time. Its chairman is Prof. A. E. White. As now contemplated, the new building will contain special meeting rooms dedicated to the late Dean Mortimer E. Cooley of the engineering college, with the remainder devoted to research. The Phoenix Project Bldg. will probably house labs for study of strongly radioactive materials, with research on substances of a lesser radioactivity destined to remain in Ann Arbor for the present. The Phoenix Project is headed by Dean Ralph A. Sawyer of the graduate school. ONCE IT GETS UNDER WAY, the new campus center is ex- pected to perform a twofold purpose for the University. It will fur- nish sufficient space for expansion in future years, and it will re- lieve many buildings within the city of overcrowding. A tremendous amount of preliminary planning has gone into the new center, and thediscussions will probably continue for some time in the future. An important step was taken last night when University administrators met with leading citizens of Ann jArbor to talk the subject over. At today's press conference the news will at last be released to the general public. Newsmen will gather in the small ballroom ofthe Union for the announcement. There they will hear the University give official recognition of the great role that work of a strictly research nature is coming to play in campus life. And they will hear full details of a plan which is destined to. strengthen even further the University's reputation as a leading re- search institution and bring its facilities to the attention of govern- ment officials and businessmen throughout the nation. tIf wI 7 T 11 '4 ,{ ' CSC .y.

Another GOP hopeful, Harol E. Stassen, last night announce his intention to enter the Illinoi preferential primary April 8 in bid for the Republican nomina tion. As for the Democratic nomin- ation, Sen. Anderson (D-N.M.) and Sen. Capehart (R-Ind.) agreed that President Truman will run again-but disagreed on the outcome. Anderson stated he felt the Democrats would "insist" on re nominating Truman and that h would be reelected. Capehart argued that althoug Truman would be renominated be- cause the Democrats have no onE else, "any Republican nominates can win this year."

The British leader spoke at a colorful ceremony in which he was inducted as a member of the So- ciety of the Cincinnati. The address was made only a few hours after Churchill re- turned here from a visit to Can- ada which broke his Washington visit into two segments. About the time he was speaking another business session with Pres- ident Truman was added to his schedule. The White House an- nounced that the two chiefs of state will meet with their advisers at the White House at 3 p.m. (Ann Arbor time) tomorrow. Churchill leaves Saturday for New York, on the way home. To- day he will deliver an address to a joint session of Congress.

Halfway through the first period John Matchefts of Michi- gan and Harold Passerini of the Spartans were ejected from the game for fighting, in addition to receiving five-minute major pen- alties. Almost immediately after the pair was sent to the box the Wolverines received two more penalties. First John McKennell went off and then Earl Keyes. The Wolverines were thus a man short for four minutes but they held the Spartans at bay.

The UN denied any such intent but raised another issue. Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway's headquarters in Tokyo announced it intended to press charges "at the earliest opportunity" that the Reds "have violated and are con- tinuinghto violate" every provision of the Geneva convention dealing with prisoner of war camps. Although the armistice nego- tiations at Panmunjom were sorely muddled, delegates were scheduled to reconvene at 11 a.m. today (9 p.m. Wednesday, Ann Arbor time). The Formosa threat was hurled by Red Chinese Col. Tsai Cheng- Wen, senior staff officer in prison- er exchange. WASHINGTON-UP)-President! Truman yesterday asked Congress1 for roughly five billion dollars in new taxes and warned that 1952 ~will be a "year of strain" 'beset by inflationary dangers as the nation forges ahead toward peak rearma- ment.

In submitting his annual eco- nomic message to Congress - an general far milder than his mes- sage a year ago - Truman de- clared: "It is even more true of 1952 than of 1951 that we cannot have business as usual, consumer enjoy- ments as usual, or government programs and services as usual. "If we succeed in attaining a durable peace, our expanding economy can double our standard of living within a generation. "But for the time being, and perhaps for a long time, we must sail a middle course in an uncer- tain sea. War could come sudden- ly... Running counter to the advice of his Congressional lieutenants, Truman called for early and "vig- orous action" to raise more taxes by increasing some tax rates and by plugging what he considers es- cape routes in the present tax law. The President said the Federal Treasury abes a deficit of eight billion dollars in the current fiscal year ending next June 30 and a "dangerously large deficit" of near- ly twice that amount by mid-1953. As expected, Truman's request for higher taxes-the fourth in 18 months-met a chilly reception on Capitol Hill. Some lawmakers said something might be done to pick up new revenue by closing "loopholes," but Congress was clearly in no mood to enact anoth- er general tax hike. 222 Escape Snow bound Streamliner EMIGRANT GAP, Calif.-kA- All passengers of the snowbound City of San Francisco had been rescued late yesterday from fros- ty imprisonment in the swank streamliner stalled in the High Sierra since Sunday.
