GOP Action
OK'd by Ike,
Reports Say
TV, Radio Talk
Set for Saturday
WASHINGTON-The Repub-
lican Party skipped over Senator
Joseph McCarthy (R-Wis.) yes-
terday to let Vice-President Rich-
ard Nixon answer a Democratic
a political blast and did so, high
Republican sources indicated, with
President Eisenhower's approval.
Nixon was given the nod to an-
s era broadcast by Adlai Steven-
s on that the Republican Party is
"half McCarthy and half Eisen-
hower."
* * *
A HIGH Republican official, who
declined use of his name, indicat-
ed that the committee action was
taken with the consent of Presi-
dent Eisenhower. There was no
formal comment on that point,
however. Nixon. will speak Satur-
day night, over both NBC and
CBS:
McCarthy still wants time to
do his own talking.
He said television and radio net-
works had better give him free
time, too, to answer Stevenson or
they would "learn what the law
is."
GOP Chairman Leonard W. Hall
moved in ahead of McCarthy to
ge$ free radio and TV time equal
to that given Stevenson, titular
head of the Democrats, for a
speech at Miami Beach Saturday
night.
Later Hall announced Nixon
would appear- on a combined
radio-TV broadcast Saturday to
speak not only on the Repub-
lican Party leadership and the
r ~ Administration's progtam, but
also to reply to Stevenson.
That didn't entirely satisfy Mc-
Carthy.
On reaching New York from
a Miami, he said:
* * *
"I AM delegating to no one the
authority to defend me. In addi-
tion I intend to do everything I
can to make the television- com-
panies live up to their obliga-
tions."
The Senator said he would
continue to demand time for
himself "and I will not counten-
ance anything else."
McCarthy called Stevenson's
speech "an intemperate attack on
k the Republican Party and a
lengthy, vicious attack on me per-
*sonally." .*
GOP CHAIRMAN Hall said that
F Nixon, in replying to Stevenson,
would speak "as the official rep-
resentative of the Republican Par-
I tyl in this matter."
Vice President Nixon was "an
excellent choice" to answer Stev-
enson, McCarthy said, adding,
that "Mr. Nixon is speaking for
' the party. I'm speaking for my-
self."
Hall was "entirely correct" in
regarding the Stevenson speech as
an attack on the Republican Par-
ty. "He had no other choice," Mc-
Carthy said.
Federal Communications Com-
mission regulations require can-
didates for public office be given
equal opportunities on the air by

es said yesterday.

Survey Shows
'U' FundsLa
By JON SOBELOFF
"Considerable progress has been made since the war, but we
have a long way to go if we are going to keep Michigan in the
forefront of the educational systems of the nation."
That was University Vice-President Marvin L. Niehuss' comment
last night on results of a just-published survey on support given
higher education in state schools.
* * * *
THE SURVEY, conducted by Assistant Dean of Faculties Robert
L. Williams, shows that while the State Legislature gave the Univer-
sity its biggest appropriation in history last year, state supported
universities in 20 other states were making still greater gains.
Including all of the 20 state universities for which data were
available, the survey is based on research by the University during
the last half dozen years.
Niehuss yesterday pointed out that price level rises and increas-
ing complexity of education have made education increasingly expen-
sive throughout the nation.
"The Legislature has recognized the University's needs and made
budget increases in the past six or seven years," Niehuss said.
"But there must be further increases in appropriations to State
supported schools if Michigan is to maintain its high position among
the states in the field of education," he added.

'Puerto Ricans...
NEW YORK - More than 110
Puerto Ricans, including the wife
of a would-be assdssin of former
President Harry S. Truman, were
rounded up in New York and Chi-
cago yesterday in a swift probe
into the shooting of five congress-
men in Washington last week.

That means raising the governor's budget recommendations this Court Rules .
year too, he explained.
* * * *
WILLIAMS' SURVEY found 20 other state universities averaged
15 per cent budget hikes from 1952 to 1953. Meanwhile the Univer-
sity got only an 11 percent increase.
On a per student basis, the 20 state universities averaged 11
percent increases to the University's eight percent.
The survey, which appears in the March issue of the Michigan
Education Journal, tells the story of the University's fall from its
nationally top financial position in 1929.
In 1939, while the 20 other state universities were again getting
just as high appropriations as they had before the crash, the Uni-
versity was still nine per cent short of regaining appropriation cuts
made during the depression.
Since 1939, the 20 other state universities showed appropria-
tion increases averaging 34 per cent more than the University's
appropriation hikes.
"Today's college student in the State of Michigan is handicapped
by the level of support granted to the colleges since 1929," Williams
writes.4
"Laboratories need restoring, libraries need expansion, faculties
should be increased in size and other improvements are needed." I
Williams added that few appropriations for capital outlay were
made in Michigan during the 17 years from 1928 to 1945.
"The need accumulated for new buldings has not yet been met,
although the State has made appropriations since 1945 for capital
development and improvement," he said.

Leaky Blasts
At Big, Ten.
NEW YORK--GP)-Frank Leahy,
who retired as Notre Dame foot-
ball coach at the end of the 1953
season, lashed out at the National
Collegiate Athletic Assn. and the
Big Ten yesterday while defending
feigned injuries and shift plays in
a magazine article.
Leahy, admitting that the con-
troversial Notre Dame injuries in
the Iowa game last fall .were
feigned, said that such practices
have been a part of football for
many years. The controversy, he
said, "was caused not by what was
done but by who did it and how
successfully."
"I will emphasize here my con-
viction that the NCAA's public
censuring of Notre Dame was in-
spired principally by some of the
representatives from a block of
the more affluent members of the
Western Conference," Leahy's ar-
ticle said.
"The righteous personalities fre-
quentliy commit football sins
more grievous by far than try-
outs," he said.
They have long resented Notre
Dame's dominant position in foot-
ball, and more recently, Michigan
State's.
WASHINGTON-Testimony by
a witness before a Congressional
committee may not be used against;

in any court, the Supreme Court

It was the first time the court'
ever said specifically such testi-
mony may not be used in state
courts. *

Of Balloting
Set for Today
Easier Amending
Method Passed
By GENE HARTWIG
Fall sorority rushing received a
418 to 167 okay by affiliated wom-
en in the vote counted last night
by Panhellenic, but final say in
the issue remains up to the Stu-
dent Affairs Committee today.
Results of voting on the amend-
ment to the Panhel constitution
which would allow a two-thirds in-
stead of three-fourths majority to
determine questions on rushing
showed 14 houses voting "yes" and
three "no."
THE VOTE on the rushing is-
sue broken down percentage-wise
showed: 69.1 per cent for fall rush-
ing, 27.6 per cent for spring rish-
ing, .4 per cent invalid votes and
2.9 per cent abstentions.
In all some 605 sorority wom-
en voted on the rushing qu*-
tion with 585 of the votes count-
ed, 2 invalidated and 18 absten-
tions.
On the amendment vote the
necessary three-fourths of the
houses, voting as units, was ob-.
tamed for its passage under the
present Panhel constitution.
Passage of the amendment will
validate results of the more than
two-thirds vote in favor of fall
rushing if both measures gain SAC
approval today.
ACCORDING to Panhel Presi-
dent Martha Hill, '54, the amend-
ment change should secure SAC
approval since the maximum
three-fourths vote of sororities re-
quired by SAC regulations was
obtained.;
Two interpretations of SAC's
jurisdiction on the rushing
question reportedly will have to
be hashed out before any de-
cision can be reached on the
question.
One.side maintains that SAC's
sole function in this case is to
determine whether the vote for
fall rushing is consistant with all
existing regulations g o v e r n i n g
Panhel on the matter.
The other view is that SAC must
consider the sorority vote as only
a part of the overall evaluation of
the rushing question and base its
decision on independent as well as
affiliate opinion in determining
which system would be best for
the campus as a whole.

RESULTS of the sorority vot-
ing will be presented to SAC by
