Panhel Reports
On Fall Rushing
By HARRY LUNN
Daily Managing Editor
Intercooperative Council handl-
ing of a recently acquired apart-
ment house came in for sharp
criticism at yesterday's Student
Affairs Committee meeting.
A report by the SAC sub-com-
mittee on housing charged that
ICC had failed to live up to its
agreement with SAC to substan-
tially improve the property at 803
E. Kingsley before moving student
families into the house.
IN SEPTEMBER SAC members*
overruled a housing committee re-
port and allowed ICC to purchase
the run-down property for $16,-
000 when co-op officials said they
planned an extensive rennovation
program to bring the property up
to liveable standards.
rAt; that time, SAC specifically
said no students could move into
the apartment structure until
University inspectors had check-
ed improvements and approved
its habitation.
But a housing committee in-
Jspection of Jan. 22 revealed that
a family was living there amidst
conditions termed filthy and un-
safe by committee members.
ICC was then given three days
to make immediate improvements
and a Jan. 25 inspection confirm-
ed some changes for the better,
the report said.
SAC yesterday sent ICC offi-
cials a letter asking them to ap-
pear at the next SAC meeting
and to submit a report by Tues-
day telling why a family had
been installed prior to Univer-
sity inspection and approval,
what improvements are planned
now and when they will be un-
dertaken and what leg$ agree-
ments are made with tenants
when they rent apartments.
ICC president Jack Hilberry,
'56A, last night defended the co-
op action on grounds that the
house required more time for re-
pair work than the inspectors rea-
lized, and said the only effective
way to make long range improve-
ments was to move in families as
soon as minimum standards for
each apartment were achieved.
He said ICC had submitted ex-
tensive plans for rennovation to
the city building inspector's of-
flee, and estimated that $5,500 in
improvements would be made
eventually.
THE COMMITTEE heard Pan-
hellenic Assembly president Mar-
tha Hill, '54, present backgroulnd
information on the impending de-
cision on fall rushing now up for'
vote by all sorority women. Under
~' University regulations, SAC musts
approve rushing rules before they
may go into effect.
Miss Hill answered questions
about the evaluation report sub-
mitted by Panhel on the two-
year fall rushing experiment.
Members also were given an As-
sembly Association report which
favors spring rushing as oppos-
ed to the fall system. Panhel
will submit results of the soror-
ity vote in two weeks.
Also at yesterday's meeting, a
long standing jurisdictional prob-
lem between SAC and the Resi-
dence Hall Board of Governors
over the Inter-House Council was
revived through a report of an
SAC sub-group studying the prob-
lem.
Members yesterday asked that
the sub-committee negotiate
further with the Board of Gov-
ernors and that the SAC study
compmittee be requested to re-
commend placing IHC under
the jurisdiction of SAC or a
similar central governing body
in its final report on student
government reorganization.
In other business, Student Leg-
islature was granted requests to
have a bucket drive for the Free.
University of Berlin on March
16-17 and to sponsor a mock
United Nations Assembly for the
Michigan Region of the National
Student Association on March
27-28.
Kappa Delta sorority was given
the go ahead on plans for a $35,-
000 addition to its house. Bob
Holloway, '55, was named to the
sub-committee on script review.
New Restaurant
Survey Planned.
(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the second of three articles on Ann Arbor
restaurants.)
By MARK READER
Dr. Otto K. Engelke, Health Officer of the City of Ann Arbor's
Health Department indicated yesterday another major tabulated sur-
vey into the health conditions of the city's restaurants will be begun
within "two or three weeks."
When concluded a more-up-to-date picture of the health status
of local restaurants is expected to emerge and will be compared with
the last survey to estimate health improvements.
THE FIRST SURVEY took four months to complete from Oct. 26,
1953 to Feb. 11, 1954. During the course of this survey 162 restaur-
ants were inspected for health violations under a new ordinance.
Of these restaurants, approximately' 55 cater in varying de-
grees to a steady campus trade.
Thirty-six of these establishments primarily serve students and
are located in the heart of the University area. The remaining 19 are
scattered throughout the city.
As was indicated yesterday these 55 restaurants were found to be
by the original survey more deficient in meeting the newest health
ordinances than the average compiled from the 162 eateries.
* * * *
ACCORDING TO a break-down of Health Department charts
some of these restaurants met in full or almost in full the require-
ments but others lagged far behind the norm.
Of the improvements which have gone into Ann Arbor res-
taurants during and since the survey a great percentage has oc-
curred in these establishments. There is evidence that improve-
ments are still being made.
What then were the reasons for the greater. deficiencies in those

nounced.
Quad Housei
Walks Out
'On Council
West Quad's Winchell House
walked out of last night's Quad
Council meeting after a compro-
mise could not be reached on a
new house rotating system for din-
ing halls.
The differences arose when the
new system went into effect Mon-
day. Under the plan, Chicago
House women would have their
meals with other houses in the
quad on an alternating basis. Win-
chell House had dined with the
coeds last semester.
AT THE Council meeting, Win-
chell representatives proposed a
change in the plan whereby their

EATERIES ARE packed'to the brim and there is "standing room

students and other members of the community who are in quest
of a quick meal.
There is a premium on time-one hour between classes for lunch
and from 5-7 p.m. for supper.
In other words the restaurant man finds himself in a position
of having to handle this trade with all haste since he primarily
depends on persons who patronize his establishment during these
hours to stay in business.
On occasion, minor and major health ordinances are violated.
But according to Dr. Engelke, there is now marketed equipment
designed for just such circumstances which will fill the requirements
of "safety and speed in handling."
s* " #
FURTHER ANALYSIS of the chart compiled by the Board of
Health during the months of -October to February in the 55 restaur-
ants throughout the city servicing the campus community revealed
the following figures:
1) Fifty-four per cent of these establishments were lax in
bactericidal treatment of their equipment, or one per cent higher
than the norm. However, in the 36 restaurants in the immediate
campus area there were 56 per cent violations.
2) Utensils were not cleaned properly in 33 per cent of these es-
tablishments. This is one per cent less than the over-all violations but
in the campus area specifically violations totaled 36 per cent.
3) Forty-five per cent of the 55 eateries failed to clean their equip-
ment properly. This was two per cent above the norm but in the im-
mediate vicinity of the campus the figure was 56 per cent.
4) REGULATIONS designating the proper refrigeration of food
were violated in 43 per cent of these establishments, 13 per cent higher
than the norm. Of the 36 eateries near the campus the figure was
56 per cent.
5) Pest control ordinances were violated by these 55 estab-
lishments in 29 per cent of the cases or one per cent lower than the
total average. However, near campus the figure was 31 per cent.
These fifty-five restaurants engaged help who participated in
unsanitary practices in 60 per cent of the establishments. This figure
is 11 per cent higher than that set by the total 162 restaurants. The,
sum for campus eateries was about the same.
Sixteen per cent of these restaurants violated regulations govern-
ing the wholesomeness of food and campus establishments ranged in
the same area of 5 per cent about the general average.
TOO MUCH HOMEWORK?
Poll Shows'U' Women's
opinions on Late Per'
By JANE HOWARD
In general, women students seem satisfied with the present sys-
tem of allotting late permission nights.
Partially-compiled results of a recent League questionnaire, poll-
ing 2,526 women on late permission questions, were released yester-
day. Sue Riggs, '54, League president, emphasized that the question-
naire cannot be interpreted completely until further statistics are re-
leased by the Dean's Office.
out.
Winchell House President Bob
Spieldenner, Grad., said "the dis-
pute was overa minor point, but
the council held a negative atti-
tude toward compromise, Winchell
House was not interested in in-
terrupting the rotating system to
any extent. Our proposal was fund-
amentally better for the system,
causing less confusion," he said.
A spokesman for the Council
said that "quad government could
not work effectively if everytime
there was a dispute, the house in-
volved would withdraw from par-
ticipation in the Council."
Council President Greg Schmidt.
'55, pointed out that the rotating
plan had been in preparation since
before the Christmas recess and
had been approved at last week's
meeting of the Council.
Women Lile
Co-ed Living;
Men Dubious
Women say "yes" to co-ed liv-
ing but men remain dubious.
Questioned on their views on
the experiment in co-ed living 'in
East and West Quads, women resi-
dents of Tyler, Prescott and Chi-
cago houses voiced full approval.
MARY JO PARKS, '54, presi-
dent of Prescott House in East
Quad said "Co-ed living brings
about a more casual relationship
between women and men.
Terry Birkan, former presi-
dent of Chicago House in West
Quad, expressed the feeling that
co-ed housing is working out
well. "The only drawback," she
said, "is academic wise, with so-
cial meetings taking precedence
over studying."
Some men however, tended to
look at the movement of women
into the quads as threatening the
existence of present men's housing
units.
Bob Reid, '56A, president of
Hayden House in East Quad, said
that men in East Quad would ac-
cept and support co-ed housing,
but qualified his statement add-
ing "the movement of women into
men's residence halls appears not
to have been in the interest of
co-ed living but tohprovide more
space for women."
The fact that women in East
Quad still eat in separate dining
rooms substantiates the charge
that co-ed housing is actually not
being promoted," he added.
Reid woud have no objection to
moving two present men's hous-
ing units to Alice Lloyd Hall and
bringing two women's units from
there to one of the men's quads.
On Dornis
Plan Asks IHC,
'U' Cooperation
By GENE HARTWIG
Student Legislature will hear a
motion tonight urging that the
University work with the Inter-
House Council in considering con-
verting further men's houses for
use by women.
Proposed by SL Vice-President
Fred Hicks, '54, the resolution asks
"that the University take careful
consideration of the resultant up-
heaval which such action entails
in destroying long tradition built
by the efforts of the students, staff
and officials of the Residence
Halls."
* * *
HICKS IS A resident of East
Quad where several protests
against further conversion of men's
housing to women's residence have
been voiced recently.
The IHC is scheduled to dis-
cuss the problem at their meet-
ing March 4.
Any decisions on the issue of
turning further men's units over
~to women are expected tobe taken
at the Residence Halls Board of
Governors meeting scheduled for
March 16.
Both Acting Dean of Students
Walter B. Rea and Service Enter-
prises Manager Francis C. Shiel
have indicated that student opin-
ion will be considered in any deci-
sion that may be taken.
Further changes in the present
set up will hinge on whether there
will be enough men to fill the
quads in the fall, according to resi-
dence halls officials.
* * *
IN AN ATTEMPT to discover
whether residence space limita-I
tions are used by the Admissions
office in accepting students, it was
found that all students meeting
academic and other qualifications!
are admitted without regard for;
where they will be housed.
Admissions and housing are
treated as two separate prob-
lems according to Don Feather,
assistant to the director of ad-
missions.
Feather pointed out that at
present there is a nation-wide
trend toward overall increased col-
lege enrollment and toward a
greater proportion of women stu-
dents in that increase. Y
Residence halls officials have
pointed out that a greater degree
of coordination between the ad-
missions office and residence halls
would be advantageous.
Current fears in East Quad
that more houses might be tak-
en over by women has been at-
tributed to this expanding coed
enrollment coupled with the fact
that policy requires almost all
undergraduate women to live in
supervised University housing.
At present no more than four
per cent of undergraduate women
have permission to live in apart-
ments or rooms in private homes.
according to Dean of Women Deb-
orah Bacon.

zations, wishing to sponsor C-

PROF. KNAPPEN SPEAKS TO SDA ABOUT BRICKER
AMENDMENT
Knappen Reviews Debate
Over Treaties For SDA
By DICK MACAULEY
The present debate in Congress over the Bricker Anendment is
like "killing gnats with sledgehammers," declared Prof. Marshall M.
Knappen of the political science department last night to a meeting
of the Students for Democratic Action at the Union.
Prof. Knappen reviewed the historical background of the treaty-
making controversy and cited Supreme Court decisions that have
---set precedents in the problem.
Lawyer Hits
Accusations
on Comm ie'
Previous Probe
Revealed in Feud
WASHINGTON - () -- Sen.
Joseph McCarthy (R-Wis) charg-
ed yesterday that a woman iden-
tified by a witness as a card-car-
rying, dues - paying Coinmunist
during the 1940's is now handling
"top secret" messages in the Pen-
tagon code room.
McCarthy's, accusation, the lat-
est move in his running feud with
Army SecrtaryRobert T. Stevens,
brought a quick statement, from'
the Army. It said the woman,iMrs.
Annie Lee Moss, "never" had ac-
cess either to secret codes- or un-
coded secrets.
MRS. MOSS'S attorney said she
denies ever having been a Com-
munist.
McCarthy, speaking out at a
televised hearing before his
Senate Investigations subcom-
mittee, said Mrs. Moss was still
working in the code room "as
of today."
The Army retorted:
1. As a result of the Army's own
investigation, understaken prior to
any action by the McCarthy com-
mittee, Mrs. Moss was shifted from
her $3,335-a-year job as a om'
munication relay machine opera-
tor for the Signal Corps in the
Pentagon to an "unclassified posi-
tion" on Feb. 5.
2. MRS. MOSS formerly operat-
ed equipment handling "unintel-
ligible code messages, both clas-
sified secret and unclassified," but
"never had access to the codes, to
the cryptographic rooms or to the
code rooms."
The Army said the coded tape
which goes through the relay ma-
chines is handled outside of the
"highly guarded code room" and
could not be understood even if it
fell into the hands of unauthorized
persons. It said the tape itself
"cannot be deciphered"-presum-
ably without a coding machine.
Emphasiding that its investiga
tion was undertaken before Mc-
Carthy moved into the case, the
Army said its checkup on Mrs.
Moss was based on President Ei-
senhower's executive order of
March 23, 1953, which directed
federal department chiefs to re-
examine 'the security status f
their employes.

THE PROBLEM came to a head

WASHINGTON-The House Ap-

yesterday an official estimate that
the Red Chinese have slaughter-
ed about 15 million of their own
people since 1949.
Knappen said that then "the
Lawyers Association combined
with isolationists and "anti-hu-
man righters" to create the ele-
mentrthat eventuallymade the
Bricker problem."
"Bricker has not always backed
the Lawyers Association plan
100%," Prof. Knappen said. Brick-
er did completejy support the con-
troversial 'which clause' that would
require approval of all 48 state
legislatures for some treaties.
The George Amendment which
requires Congressional approval
only in the case of Executive
Agreements has won many sup-
porters from the Bricker Amend-
ment, added Knappen, and if any
amendment is passed, it will be
"innocuous."
"The serious part of the contro-
versy," Prof. Knappen concluded,
"is the amount of time wasted by
Congress wrangling over unim-
portant issues when it could be
considering far more important
issues."
