LXIV, No. 96 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1954 SIX PAGES ICC Housing Project Gets, SAC Inquiry 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 Price Rise The'Ensian price will rise from $6 to $7 at midnight to- day.

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 SL To Hear McCarthy Claims Red Hicks' Move to a niverity tade? ouse would nave to cnag m establishments catering ing romsnonletwictyn tresems The average person who walks around the campus during the tg ooms only twice i the semes- noon or supper hour can immediately discover part of the reasonFollowing defeat of the mo- for this greater deficiency. tion, the Winchell men walked EATERIES ARE packed'to the brim and there is "standing room only." Service must be fast in order to accomodate the swarms of 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.

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.

OTTAWA-The Canadian gov- eraiment has protested to the United States- against legislation before Congress for diversion of additional water from Lake Mich- igan into the Chicago Waterway. WASHINGTON-The House Ap- propriations Committee released 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."
