First two of the thefts occurred: early the morning of Jan. 27 when Delta Theta Phi and Phi Delta Phi professional fraternities had $107 and $35 taken. * * * THE THIRD theft occurred be- tween 2 and 6 a.m. Feb. 3 when niembers of Phi Gamma Delta fra- ternity were relieved of $241. In all three cases the houses reported the money had been lying in wallets on tops of dress- ers, in top drawers or in trouser pockets. None of the houses were locked. Ann Arbor police said yesterday that they had been unable to make any headway in solving the thefts. The houses had notified police of the robberies the following day and detectives showed up at Delta Theta Phi to take a statement of what had happened. No further investigation was made at the house. * * * PHI DELTA PHI reported their loss over the phone to the police but said that no investigation had been made by officers at the house. Members of Phi Gamma Delta, hardest hit of the three, re- ported their loss to the police twice but said that no investiga- tioa had been made by police of- ficers at the house. Police officers maintained that Detectives George Simmons and John Walters had been sent to the house to make a report. The Interfraternity Council has repeatedly warned houses of the potential danger of theft where houses are left unlocked and where men lay their wallets carelessly on dressers and desks for the night. A series of robberies following the same pattern occurred last fall when close to $600 was taken from fraternities and Martha Cook dormitory, The thefts occurred three dif- ferent times during the fall se- mester at the end of September, when $338 was stolen from Phi Gamma Delta, Chi Phi and Theta Chi .fraternities; on Homecoming weekend, when $70 was taken from: Martha Cook and $85 from Phi Tau, and in early December when, Phi Kappa Tau fraternity lost $180.

The five student members of the committee were absent from the original discussion of this proposal held on January 20, but in a later meeting okayed a letter which would be sent to the deans of the var- ious colleges in an effort to gauge their opinions on the new sehedule before submitting it formally to the Dean's Conference.

Subpoena Re port Refuses Commeint On Winclell Statement About Five Professors By HARRY LUNN Daily Managing Editor University Vice-President Marvin L. Niehuss yesterday refused to confirm or deny reports that he told a recent closed meeting of the local chapter of the American Association of University Professors that four to six faculty members had received subpoenaes to appear before a sub-committee of the Hopse Un-American Activities Committee shortly. Niehuss also declined to comment on radio columnist Walter Winchell's claim that five- University faculty members would be called to testify before the sub-committee headed by Rep. Kit Clardy (R- Mich.) which will open Detroit"- Regents Hit MSC Name3 Change Idea Lashing out at the proposal to change the name of Michigan State College, to Michigan State University, the Regents have is- sued a statement denouncing the? possible move as confusing, an1 infringement, wasteful and un- constitutional. The statement, approved unani- mously by the Regents at a spe- cial meeting Jan. 27, was, sent to the Governor and the State Leg-f islature. IT WAS THE first such special' Regents,meeting called since Pres- ident Harlan H. Hatcher was in- augurated. It was also the first time the University had taken off, the gloves in the growing MSC rivalry.t Meanwhile, 8000 Michigan State students have been busy signing a 400 foot long petitionj urging the "promotion" for MSC. The petition, sponsoredt by the MSC student congress, was presented to the Legislature last night. The Regents' statement read, in; part: "Since the University of Michi- gan has been the State university of Michigan for 117 yeras, and is known throughout the world by this title, it would be and in- fringement to change the honored name of the Michigan State Col- lege of Agriculture and Applied Science to that of the Michigan State University. "Moreover, the proposal is, we believe, clearly contrary both to the language and the intent of: the Michigan Constitution . the people of the state intended to create just one state university. "What 'state university' wouldF be meant in connection witht Michigan? In conversations, in< articles and news references, inx legislative bills, in acts already on the statute books, in student transcripts and other records, there would be endless oppor- tunity for .mistakes. "Should the proposed change be made, further encouragement and impetus would certainly be given the current system which allows no free time between the end of classes and the examination pe- riod. At the sane time it will not push finals back so far that re- sults cannot be filed before for- mal commencement. The new proposal was made necessary as a result of a Com- mittee vote last month to coni- sult "the various faculties and other interested groups of the University" before passing a fi- nal okay on the controversial Crary Plan. According to some student mem- bers of the Committee, the deci- sion to move back exams was made at a meeting to which none 0: them was summoned. T h e y claimed that the finished propos- al was submitted to them for their approval several days later. Assistant to the President Erich A. Walter however said that the original confab was merely a gath- ering of "some deans and some members of the scheduling com- mittees of the Engineering college and the Literary school to find out what their recations would be." * * * HE STRESSED that it was a "matter of trying to get some in- formation from faculties as soon as we could so we could have some- thing concrete to work on," anc said that examination schedules of all the student Committee mem- bers prevented their attendance. Ruth Rossner, '55, pointed out that the "student members had been urging discussion of the spring exam schedule all semes- ter," and felt that since it had been postponed until the close of classes there wasn't any rea- son why "we could not hold a meeting during orientation week instead." "Mr. Walter with all his deal- ings with students should have known them a little better in thi case," she said. THE PLAN is a part of a Uni- versity effort to make commence- ment exercises a more than tok- en procedure with actual gradua- tion still dependent on the unre- corded grades of the spring se- mester. Howard Nemerovski, '54E, a student. Committee m e m b e r pointed out that "President Hat- cher and even President Ruth- ven before him had to bear all the brunt" of parental dissatis- faction with the old system. 3 fU '3, e* f YI -F x e e hearings Feb. 22. The Vice-President said any estimate of the number subpoe- naed would be "pure specula- tion" since he had no definite way of knowing how many fac- ulty members received sub- poenas. Although an indeterminate number of faculty members have notified University authorities of receipt of subpoenaes in confi- dence, the University has not been informed of the number or names of those subpoenaed by Rep. Clar- dy. * * * IN LANSING last night Rep. Clardy told The Daily he would not comment on Winchell's esti- mation, adding that the figure must have been a guess on Win- chell's part since only the sub- committee and its investigators knew exact figures and these had never been released. Winchell made the assertion several weeks ago on his Sunday night radio program. Rep. Clardy revealed, however, that as far as he knew no Uni- verSity personnel would be in- volved in the Detroit hearings, but would be questioned at the Lansing session now sche uled for March 1 and 2. (Other'sub- t I World News Roundup meeting. The committee, composed of leaders of the largest campust organizations, has held meet- ings since September. However, the problem has been a subject of study and discussion for the past few years as student lead-# ers realized the inadequacy of present facilities and the need' for increased activities space to meet the needs.of a swelling en- rollment.j Last spring, the Union and League boards instituted joint dis- cussions of the problem, but the conferences broke up before any significant agreement could be reached on location of an activi- ties building or other vital ques- tions connected with the project. Committee study thus far has emphasized the need for commu- nity cooperation between all or- ganizations whose interests would be affected by construction of new facilities.
