LXIV, No. 107 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, TUESDAY, MARCH 9, 1954 SIX PAGES ixon 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.

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. p HEL OTE FA ORS LL i i I I i RUSHI, G SYT !I O.. World News1 Roundup By The Associated Press '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.

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.

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 Miss Hill. She declined however, to comment on either of these al- ternatives. Voting on the amendment and rushing issue was carried on in The rushing ballot allowed in- campus sororities last week. dividual women to check their preference for fall or spring rushing. Houses voted as units on the amendment question. The total number voting was smaller than the overall sorority membership since only those who had been initiated prior to the first week of the second semester were allowed to vote, Miss Hill ax- plained. Adelphia, recently founded local sorority, was unabe to vote since it is only an associate member of Panhel.
