'U' Official
Sees Raise
In Quad Fees
Food Problems,
Budget Discussed
By BOB JAFFE
A University official predicted
another rise in residence hall rates
for the coming semester.
At a meeting of the Inter-House
Council last night, Francis C.
Shiel, Manager of Service Enter-
prises said that while the exact
amount of the increase is not
known as yet, there will be some
advance in fees. Shiel said that
similar increases are predicted for
all Big Ten residence halls.
* * *
SHIEL, together with Wilbur K.
Pierpont, Vice-President of the
University and Leonard A. Schaadt,
Business Manager of Residence
Halls, met with the group to an-
swer questions previously sub-
mitted by the IHC dealing with
residence hall food and budget
problems.
Asked whether some provision
couldn't be made to improve the
preparation and quantity of
food, Schaadt said that to do
this would necessitate a corres-
ponding decrease in other quad-
rangle services. This could ob-
viously not be effected, he said.
Speaking on the residence hall
budget, Pierpont told the group
that while the detailed accounts
are not open to public examina-
tion, an authorized representative
from the IHC could obtain the ex-
penditures on certain specific items
which pertain to the quadrangles.
When asked how much of the
total amount which residents pay
for room and board goes for food,
Schiel said that 31 per cent is spent
specifically on the purchase and
preparation of food, while an ad-
ditional 19.2 per cent goes toward
ding room labor. It was estimated
that approximately two dollars a
day per resident is spent on food.

Approve Game
Switch to Lansing
By ALICE BOGDONOFF
University students hurdled the
traditional Michigan State College
rivalry yesterday to express under-
standing of the Spartan viewpoint
over the decision to keep next fall's
State-Michigan game in East Lan-
sing.
By a unanimoys vote Monday
the MSC athletic committee ve-
toed the proposed switch of the
game to the Michigan-Stadium.
BOB GOLTEN, '54, Wolverine
Club president, called the decision
"a fair one since any switch would
have been on a commercial basis."
Golten explained that the
Wolverine Club will probably
not be able to sell tickets as a
group to students, but will pro-
vide transportation.
Approximately 10,000 tickets
will be on sale to the public. A
spokesman of the athletic depart-
ment who declined to be named,
said that this number of tickets
"will hardly be enough."
A" club president and football
player, Lawrence LeClaire, '53Ed.,
claimed that the question of at-
t idance rather than money was
th , main impetus for the proposed
switch.
Another team member, Don
Dugger, '55Ed., pointed out that
while financially the decision was
a "bad idea," it will strengthen
University relations with State.
Student Legislature president,
Howard Willens, '53, said that the
decision accurately reflects MSC
opinion and "this should be the
primary consideration."
THE POPOSAL to change the
annual Spartan-Wolverne grid
duel grew out of conversations and
communications which began in
January between Unive~sity ath-
letic director Herbert . "Fritz"

THE FINANCIAL plight of the
North Sea area countries was de-
scribed yesterday by Netherlands
Consul from Detroit, W. K. Von
Weiler.
On campus for a special radio
interview, Von Weiler estimated
Holland's reconstruction costs
at one billion guilders (about
$265,000,000 in United States
currency).
"The response to the appeal for
food and clothes from this coun-
try has been overwhelming," Von
Weller pointed out, "but such nec-
essary programs as rebuilding
farms, fertilizing land and replac-
ing lost livestock have created a
desperate financial need."

SAC Denies
Fund .Drive
Plea by YD
By CRAWFORD YOUNG
Daily Managing Editor
The Student Affairs Committee
yesterday by an 8-6 count denied
permission for a Young Democrat
sponsored campus fund drive.
The money-raising "Dollars for
Sense" campaign was designed
primarily to help unsuccessful
Democratic candidate Adlai E.
Stevenson serve, as "party leader
and provide money for further ra-
dio and television appearances.
* * *
THE SAC decision was based on
a University regulation which
places stringent limitations on so-
licitation of students on campus or
in organized residences.
Drives may be held if the ap-
proval of the SAC is obtained.
However, in the past the bars
have only been lowered in the
case of well-established chari-
ties such as the Red Cross, and
March of Dimes, local welfare
projects like Galens and Fresh
Air Camp, Tag Day, and emer-
gency charity drives, such as the
Dutch flood relief campaign to-
day.
YD Chairman Blue Carstenson,
Grad., declared that the faculty
drive, which does not require SAC
sanction, will continue.
ALSO AT yesterday's meeting,
SAC denied a request of the Stu-
dent Bar Association for 1:30 per-
mission for their annual dance
March 14.
Strong protests to a campus-
wide late permission on that
date were made by the Men's
Glee Club, which has an invest-
ment of $8500 in a Fred Waring
concert scheduled on that date.
Dave Callahan, '53BAd, spokes-
man for the Glee Club, declared
that a late permission grant would
induce many groups to sponsor
social events competing with the
Waring appearance.

An all campus 'Ensian sale
will be held from 9 a.m. to 3
p.m. today on the Diagonal.
This will be one of the last
chances to buy 'Ensians before
the prices rise to $6.00 Satur-
day.

In New School Bonds

By HARRY LUNN
Ann Arbor School District voters
registered a resounding three to
one affirmative vote on the pro-
posed $7,650,000 school building
program in yesterday's special elec-
tion.
Both propositions passed by wide
margins as a total 4,236 voters
went to the polls in all-eca.- bal-
loting at five city schools.
PROPOSITION ONE, which
canceled an authorization of $4,-
200,000 in bonds passed in 1949
and asked permission to sell $7,-
650,000 in new bonds, was approv-
ed by a 2,901 to 1,030 tally.
Only school district property
taxpayers and their husbands or
wives could vote on this ques-
tion.
Proposition Two, which sought
permission to raise the tax limit
from nine to 10 mills ($10 per

$1,000 assessed valuation), passed
by a 3,195 to 1,041 vote.
All registered voters were eli-
gible to vote on this issue.
Altogether, only 17 per cent
of the district's qualified voters
turned out at the polls.

PASSAGE of the huge bond is-
sue will bring Ann Arbor school

icr high sc ool to be located on
Sadium Blvd. near the city's edge.
.slanned for 1,500 to 1,800 stu-
dents, the high school will re-
place the present State St. struc-
ture which was built 50 years
ago for 800 pupils, but now has
an enrollment of 1,258.

Public Hearings
To BeginToday
WASHINGTON - () - The
House wrangled hotly yesterday
over a prospective hunt for com-
munism in schools, then handed
its un-American activities commit-
tee a hefty $300,000 for this and
other investigations.
In the end, the vote was an over-
whelming 315 to 2 to set up the
big expense fund for the next two
years.

AND, WITH cash in the till, the
committee starts today a hearing
on communism in education-its
first public hearing since the new
Congress came in.
Over in the Senate, where the
internal security subcommittee
already is digging for Reds in
colleges and schools, a professor
once groomed for Communist
party membership testified he
personally knows of Communist
activities in the faculties at Col-
umbia University and Queens
College in New York City.
William Withers, professor of
economics and contemporary civ-
ilization at Queens and formerly a
professor at Columbia, said Com-
munist teachers do their worst
damage outside the classrooms and
actually ruin the lives of young
Americans. He said he could name
20 or 30 who have been ruined and
two who are under the care of
psychiatrists.
* * *.
WITHERS SAID he first ran
into Reds in education in 1934 or
1935 when he was teaching at
New College, a teacher training
institution now part of Columbia.
He himself was not unsympathetic
to Communism at the time, he
said, adding that he was invited
to join the party and was groom-
ed for membership but never went
in.
Two instructors at Brooklyii
College in New York, Elton T.
Gustafson and Murray Young,
refused to tell the senators
whether they are or ever were
Communists.
While the lawmakers pressed on
with the studies, Methodist Bishop
G. Bromley Oxnam tore into the
methods he said committees are
using.
Toll Roads Get
Senate Action
Special To The Daily
LANSING -- Preliminary ap-
proval was granted the Michigan
toll highway bill yesterday by the
State Senate as the proposal was
sent to the Senate Appropriations
Committee.
The Senate action represented
a major victory for a citizens com-
mittee headed by Ann Arbor Mayor
William O. Brown, Jr. which has
been working for passage of the
legislation.
Last week Mayor Brown called
a special meeting of Michigan
mayors in Ann Arbor where 25
city executives unanimously gave
approval to the bill which calls
for construction of a toll high-
way between the Bay City area
and Toledo, and one between
Detroit, and Chicago.

Fast action on the bill was prom-
ised by appropriations chairman
Sen. Elmer R. Porter (R-Bliss-
field). The bill was sent to his
committee since it provides for a -
$650,000 loan from highway funds
to cover initial expenses.

Wolverine Club To
Discuss Policy

By BARNES CONNABLE
Daily City Editor
Retiring Wolverine football captain Merritt "Tim" Green yester-
day called Sunday's probationary move against Michigan State
"poetic justice."
But at the same time the 21-year-old senior said the action "does
not strike at the heart of the problem."
* * * *
"THE CONDEMNATION was certainly justified," Green said.
"But such practices are going on at other schools. State is one of
the major offenders and the reforms should start there."
In a Daily interview, the bespectacled political science major
called double-standards for athletes in the classroom the greatest
evil threatening college football today.
Green also lashed out at:
1) "Shady recruiting practices which are corrupting our youth
and damaging the reputation of higher education in general."
2) "Pressure on coaches by sports writers, fans and college
alumni which tends to destroy the real values in football."
As for subsidization of players, Green urged that it be
"cracked down on, particularly where state funds are involved."
