THE LEGISLATURE'S PROPOSALS See Page 4 Sir 6 ~~ait1 i Latest Deadline in the State VOL. LXIV, No. 104 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, MARCH 5, 1954 CLOUDY, WARMER SIX PAGES Arrest Made For Beating Of Foreman Link Union Aid In Nash Strife DETROIT-P)-A union official was arrested yesterday for "inves- tigation of felonious assault" in the beating of a foreman em- ployed at the strike-bound Nash- Kelvinator Corp. plant in Detroit. Police said Orville Plake, a national repesentative of the Mechanics Educational Society (MESA), was identified by the foreman as one of three men who intercepted him on his way to work yesterday. * * * THE FOREMAN, Leonard King, 54, said the men pulled their car in front of his several blocks from the plant. King told police that two of the men struck him on the face and head after Plake had iden- tified him as a foreman. King was treated at a hospital for gashes apparently inflicted by brass knuckles, police said. Three incidents-of property dam- age have been reported against other supervisory employes in the 8-day-old strike of 2,300 employes of the plant. MESA, an indepen- dent union, called the strike in a dispute over work standards. * * * THE STRIKE has forced the layoff of 1,300 employes at the company's Grand Rapids plant which receives refrigerator mo- tors from the Detroit plant. E. M. Sconyers, of the Federal Mediation Service and George E. Boyles, chairman of the State Labor Mediation board, yester- day announced plans for a meeting today with company representatives and officers of the striking Independent Me- chanics Educational Society of America. The meeting will be the first mediation attempt since the strike started. Nash-Kelvinator officials pro- posed the mediation effort Wed- nesday in a letter to Matthew W. Smith, national secretary of the union. THE HOMES of two company foreman were reported to have been damaged Wednesday. In Grand Rapids, Mayor Paul G. Goebel announced yesterday he would seek action by the state Legislature to aid the 1,300 Grand Rapids Kelvinator em- ployes idled by the Detroit strike. The Grand Rapids employes are ineligible to draw unemployment benefits under a technicality of the state unemployment compen- sation laws. PROGRESS LSA Steering Group Plans New Projects An extensive re-evaluation meet- ing Wednesday led the Literary College Steering Committee to one conclusion: its purposes and policy will be broadened. Organized five years ago, the entirely student-composed group has met bi-monthly, primarily to set up plans for the Literary Col- lege conferences, which have been held about twice a semester. Com- mittee chairman Albert Caim, '54, said yesterday that the group will now meet every week, adding to its function the extended duty of "promoting a good College educa- tional policy." ** * THE COMMITTEE, Cairn ex- plained, has been "lostbetween two extremes," that of fulfilling its basic purpose of planning the con- ferences and the broader one of strongly advocating improvements in Literary College affairs. One somewhat forgotten right of the group, Caim said, has been that of sitting in on meetings of. the Literary College Curriculum Committee. This organization, elected from and by faculty members, meets to establish Col- lege requirements and new courses. Through the Curriculum Com- mittee the semester time schedules can also be improved, Caim added. OSU's Kouno Wins 1500 Meter Swim By BILL STONE Fantastic Ford Konno of Ohio State gave his team an early lead in the Big Ten Swimming meet, as he swept to an impressive victory in the 1500 meter freestyle marathon last night at- the Sports Building pool., Konno, whose winning time of 18:20 fell short of his own Big Ten record of 18:11.5, got an early lead over Michigan's Jack Wardrop and pulled away as the race progressed to win with ease. Wardrop, one half of the famous Michigan brother act, finished second to the Hawaiian star, as he completed the grueling course in the time of 18:41. ___________________________________* * Hl' Matmen Defend Title At Lansing By KEN COPP As they enter the preliminaries of the Big Ten Wrestling Cham- pionships in Jenison.Fieldhouse at East Lansing this afternoon, Coach Cliff Keen's wrestlers leave behind them a record of six dual meet victories in seven Conference starts. Besides these seven Conference starts, the matmen have downed Hofstra, Syracuse, and Pittsburgh in non-conference contests. * * * THE WOLVERINES' only loss was at the hands of the Boiler- makers of Purdue by a score of 15-9 when the Michigan squad was severely riddled by injuries. Coach Keen's squad is the de- fending team champion and it will be shooting for its sixth Big Ten Championship in the twen- ty-nine years that he has tu- tored Michigan Teams. The Michigan grapplers along with host Michigan State, which was runner-up last year, and Pur- due and Iowa are rated as top con- tenders for the crown, but almost any of the others could be real threats if things brea properly for them. THE MEET will open with the preliminaries at 2 p.m. and then the semi-finals tonight at 7:30 p.m., with the finals and consola- tion bouts for third and fourth places set for Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m. See NALAN, Page 3 Reds Warned On Infiltration Of Americas CARACAS, Venezuela - (A) - Secretary of State Dulles yester- day called on the nations of the Americas to unite in a "hands off" warning to Moscow against Com- munist infiltration of this hemi- sphere. Dulles made the plea before the Tenth Inter-American Conference in which 20 Western Hemisphere nations are taking part. IN HIS 3,000-word major policy speech, the American diplomat also spelled out Washington's eco- nomic policy toward Latin Amer- ica. Dulles called on his colleagues to consider Communist interven- tion as dangerous as an enemy battleship and indicated that strong Red infiltration in any Western Hemisphere country should prompt emergency meas- ures by its neighbors. Dulles told the delegates: "We here in the Americas are not im- mune from that threat of Soviet Communism. There is not a sin- gle country in this hemisphere which has not been penetrated by the apparatus of international Communism acting under orders from Moscow.''

SAC Group Sets Student SEC Posts Seven Ex-Officio Members Requested By' BECKY CONRAD Turning to more detailed studies, the Student Affairs Study Committee yesterday tentatively favored seven ex-officio members to sit on the proposed Student Executive Committee.

SAC members and five faculty I By GENE HARTWIG Inter-House Council last night went on record as opposing "any changes in the existing men's Res- idence Halls system" that would involve conversion of more men's housing for women or returning any women's houses in the quads to men. Passed unanimously with one women's member abstaining, the resolution also offered three pos- sible solutions to the problem of increased housing for women: 1) that more women be permit- ted to live outside residence halls. 2) that provision be made to house more women in.-existing dor- mitory space. 3) that more residence halls be constructed. * * * INTRODUCED by East Quad President Stan Levy, '55, the res- olution "strongly 'urges that the Board of Governors of the Resi- dence Halls carefully consider the broad ramifications and conse- quences of any further conversion of men's houses to women's." The action followed 45 min- utes discussion during which IHC President Roger Kidston, '56L, left the chair to speak in favor of the motion. Pointing out the importance of the problem to the entire men's residence halls system, Kidston said there was an equal possibility that any one of the houses in the quads might be converted for use by women, not just in East Quad. "If I had thought that when Ty- ler and Prescott Houses in East Quad were converted for women it would mean real coed living, I would have been the first to help them move in," Kidston declared. "The real reason for all three con- versions (including C h i c a g o House) was economic." "WE CAN fill men's residence halls witlh men," Kidston said, "The question is should women put men out of the halls simply be- cause more women keep coming to the University." The motion as originally stat- ed by Levy did not include the three suggestions later approved as an amendment following ar- gument that the solutions would give the Board a positive indica- tion of how to at.tack the prob- lem. The IHC stand follows a state- ment made Feb. 22 by East Quad's Ilayden House urging "men's resi- dence halls to form a united front and formulated plans to success- fully defend the Michigan House Plan." Student opinion on the question has taken form in the Hayden House stand and a letter to Act- ing Dean of Students Walter B. representatives. Prof. Laing explained that sinceI the committee was selected by University President Harlan H. Hatcher to make its studies, only the President could add members 1 to the group.I Petitions Petitions for 22 Student Leg- islature seats to be filled in all- campus elections, March 30 and 31, may be picked up from 1 to 5 p.m. today and from 9 a.m. to noon tomorrow at the SL Bldg.

Coeds Retaliate: Give Own Opinions of Griping Males By MURRY FRYMER Generally agreeing that Michigan men "aren't such gods!" cam- pus coeds hit back at the griping males in retaliation for the men's compaints about women earlier this week. The girls were a bit more discrete in their gripes, many refusing; to give their names, but inferring that the men would hear the com- plaints "personally." "IF THEY WERE a bit 'more friendly, maybe the girls would warm up," Nancy Boland, '58, said. "They just never think of talking to you. How can they expect the girls to smile first? The fellows are all ice-M bergs living in their own little shells." Miss Boland added that although men couldn't approach any girl and talk to her in a large city, it was perfectly all right on a campus. Anne Terrill, '55, offered a solution to the complaints: "If the men would take off their khakis and sweatshirts, maybe the girls would shape up." Befuddled, Jeanne Hager, '56, said "They're inconsidstent. You just don't know what to expect." * * * * Local Doctors Discuss Drugs Answering questions submitted and screened beforehand, a forumj of doctors outlined the history,' present status, and future of anti- biotics, hormones and vitamins yesterday in Rackham lecture hall.$ Most, of the questions which were considered concerned the side-effects of the use and mis-use of cortisone and ACTH, both hor- mones, and antibiotics such as penicilin and streptomycin. Dr.' Wicht pointed out that ,if there is. a prolonged use of antibiotics, the organisms which are to be killed by the drug develop a resistance; to it. Along this line, the panel cau- tioned against the use of anti- biotics for-minor ills, lest a resist- ance be built up s ALTHOUGH close to 200 track- men from every Conference school are on hand for the two day affair, Illinois, with its small but tremen- dously powerful 16-man squad, is expected to be seriously challenged! only by the Wolverines. If the Illini should walk off with the laurels for the fourth straight time they will tie Mich- igan's all-time record of 15 in- door titles. The revised program, which in- cludes for the first time the 300, 600, and 1000 yard runs, should see quite an assault on the record books as many of the nation'sI greatest cinder stars will see ac- tion, the bulk of them competing from the Wolverine and Illini camps. John Ross, the Big Ten rec- orq-holder in the mile, will be favored to cop that event again, while Captain Fritz Nilsson is still the man to beat in the shot put.
