It also defeated, 74-18, a motion of Sen. Morse (Ind.-Ore.) to send the whole burning issue back to the Judiciary Committee for fur- ther study. THE REJECTED section would have changed the Constitution to provide that no treaty or interna- tional agreement could becomeef- fective as domestic law without congressional legislation. Before the vote, Sen. Bricker (R-Ohio) declared that action on this section "will justly be interpreted as a vote for or against the substance of my original amendment."

The 11 man Wolverine squad must gain at least a tie in one of the 'games in order to clinch a bid td the NCAA playoffs at Colo- rado Springs next month. * * * ,TWENTY-FIVE hundred unre- served tickets for both games will go on sale at 8:30 this morning at the Ferry Field Athletic Adminis- tration Building, and tickets will continue to be sold until the sup- ply is exhausted.

"The present armistice is the only 170 CASES: Juvenile Court Studies Problems of Delinquents (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the second in a series of articles discussing juvenile delinquency in Ann Arbor.) By PAT ROELOFS Of the 878 juvenile delinquents apprehended by members of the local Police Department last year, nearly 170 were referred to the Juvenile Probate Court for further investigation. Referrals of delinquent, dependent or neglected children are made to the court by police officers, schools, churches, parents or relatives of the children on the basis of the degree of their offenses. DIRECTOR OF THE local juvenile division of the Probate Court, Harold Nielsen, outlined the creed of the court: "The Court is dedicated to the service of every child who is in conflict with society, and guarantees to such child the right to be dealt with intelligently as society's charge, not society's outcast." Following receipt of petitions alleging that juveniles have seriously violated the law, the Court decides what procedure is to be followed. If in the opinion of court directors strict measures should be taken, the juvenile may be detained outside of the county or in the Washtenaw county jail. Nielsen reported that offenders over 15 years of age who may be considered dangerous to public safety may be committed to the jail in quarters apart from adult confinement. In many cases it is possible to send boys to the State Boys Vocational School in Lansing NIELSEN'S MAIN JOB in the juvenile court in relation to delinquents is to determine whether adjudication or formal court orders should be made. Procedure usually followed includes talks with the youngsters, discussions with the parents or guardians of the boys and girls, and talks with others concerned. "We try to help youngsters over the difficulties. If possible, we help them outside of formal courtroom hearings," Nielsen said. mended specifically the fulfillment of the President's campaign pledge to revitalize and revamp the pro- cedure and personnel of the Na- tional Security Council so thatr it is now one of the most import- ant policy formulating bodies. He also alluded to the im- proved functioning of the Coun- cil of Economic Advisors and to the fact that Vice-President Nixon has been most useful in administrative affairs. Commenting on the not so bright spots, Wright spoke of Eis- enhower's - unrealized campaign promise to balance the budget. "The 8% billion dollar cut has not eliminated waste and ineffi-' ciency to this amount but instead has resulted in the curtailment of certain services," he commented. He further added that the change of policies and men, budget cuts, and a new'security program have served to reduce the moral of the civil service. * * * COMMENTING on the execu- tive-congressional relations of the Administration, Ogul said that "Ike's theory seems to be that the, three branches are separate and equal and one shouldn't interfere with the other. He prefers to make suggestions to Congress rather than to slug it out with them." Ogul further noted that the President has been fairly suc- cessful concerning his proposals but that he has also missed out on some of the more import- ant such as the extension of so- cial security, Taft-Hartley re- visions and Hawaiian statehood. He further added that the Ad- ministration will have tough- sledding on their ta*, farm and tariff policies considering that this is an election year. Concluding, Ogul said, "Eisen- hower has scored two major vic- tories in the passage of the St. Lawrence Seaway and the water- ing down of the Bricker Amend- ment . . . and 'is becoming more and more a firmer party leader. Speaking on specific policies of the Administration, Christianson noted that Eisenhower's proposed farm policy and reduced tariffs have met much opposition and haven't been too successful. He further added that he expects the President to have excellent sup- port in his efforts to maintain full employment and a sound econ- omy. Inter-Guild Coffee Hour Scheduled the proposed amendment in a complicated series of votes engi- neered by the GOP leadership in the Senate last week. President Eisenhower is firm- ly opposed to changing the Con- stitution as Bricker suggests and has not endorsed any of the milder substitute amendments now before the, Senate. Seventeen Republicans, Includ- ing the Administration leaders, joined with 32 Democrats and Morse to defeat the key section. Bricker was supported by 28 other Republicans and 13 Democrats, mostly Southerners. A two-thirds majority of those present and voting is required for Senate approval of a constitu- tional amendment. As it was, Bricket's modification didn't get even a simple majority. GOP Discussed At YD Meeting The natural resources policy of the Republicans, judging by their actions is "to nibble-to see how much they can get away from the public and give to private inter- ests," Charles W. Eliot, former Executive Director of the Natural Resources Planning Board, charg- ed last night in a speech to cam- pus' Young Democrats. Eliot in his talk on the "Natur- *al Resource Policy of the Demo- crats and Republicans," contrast- ed the Republican "nibble policy" to the Democrat's broad plan for public control. He added however, "I frankly don't know if the Re- publicans have any natural re- sources policy, since their main policy seems to be to keep'the peo- ple in the dark." Bright Prospects Seen For Future By PAUL LADAS Prospects for the expansion of I the automotive engineering de- partment and other facilities of the Engineering College appeared brighter when it was reported yes- terday that a drive was being wag- ed to have the State Legislature consider a five-year Engineering College expansion program that would cost approximately $10,- 000,000. The program would consist of establishing automotive and pro- pulsion laboratories on 80 of the 347 acres of the North Campus area for purposes of education and, increased research. * * * UP TO THE present, plans by' the Engineering College for ex- panding to the North Campus amounted to $800,000. Appropria- tions for that amount had been re- quested from the Legislature early this year. Complementing these efforts was the unconfirmed report by Prof. Walter E. Lay, of the Uni- versity's automotive' research department, that the Board of Regents had passed or was high- considering the ' program. Prof. Lay added that "prospect for getting the first unit which will cost about $1,000,000 look good." The drive was launched by the Industrial Committee for Univer- sity of Michigan Engineering Lab- oratories yesterday in Detroit. This group is composed of such major. automotive industrialists as William H. Graves, vice-president of Packard Motors, C. L. McCuen, vice-president of General Motors, and E. S. MacPherson, vice-pres- ident of Ford Motors. - *' * * UNIVERSITY Vice - President Marvin L. Niehuss, Dean of the Engineering College George G. Brown, and Director of Univer- sity Relations Authur L.

By JON SOBELOFF Proposals to lift or alter the campus driving ban may lie on, the Regents' table indefinitely, University President Harlan H. Hatcher said yesterday. - President' Hatcher" outlined six reasons which he felt have con - tributed to the Regents failure to act on the proposals, submitted last spring by the Student Legisla-. ture after they were approved in spirit by a campus referendum. SL PRESIDENT Robert Neary '54, said last night that "if the Re- gents don't resume discussions 4md take favorable, action on one of the proposals, I think it would come as a great disappointment to the majority of students. Neary said he had talked with two regents just before the last Regents meeting and they had indicated that the vote on the ban change proposals was postponed while they waited for University administrators' rec- ommendations on the problem. The proposals submitted to the Regents included three alter- natives: 1) Complete removal of the ban. 2) Ending the ban for everyone .except freshmen under 21 years old. 3) Driving permission for every- one except freshmen and sopho- mores les's than 21 years old. * * - PRESIDENT Hatcher said the question of University driving rules is "very complex" and added that the Regents had given the change request "sympathetic and long consideration." The president termed the pro- posals "very fine work by the students who drew them up." Then he cited six reasons they were tabled: the "overwhelming parental oppositIon," tradition, the local traffic problem, automobile accident rates, a feeling that al- lowing cars would be "undemo- cratic" and fear that driving would act "as a dispersal influence" on the now compact campus.

"I see the other side, on the other points, too," he said. "Of course," he added, "there's no great internal pressure for removal - a car's not very use- ful in Ann Arbor." The president couldn't say just when the Regents might vote on the tabled proposals to lift or change the present driving re- strictions, but said some Regents might favor making some modifi- cation in the driving rules. OSA Veep Appointmnent Seen Likely It appeared yesterday that there may soon be a student affairs vice-president, and he'll be some- one "close to the University." That was the impression given by University President Harlan H. Hatcher as he discussed the vice- presidency and other campus questions at an hour-and-a-half long press conference. THE SILVER-haired adminis- trator said he was "very much pleased and also impressed "by the interest of students and stu- dent organizations in the propos- ed new vice-presidential post, and added he's "studying their repre- sentations and the problems in- volved with the greatest diligence." "We all feel a person who has had a very close association with the University should fill such a job," President Hatcher reveal- ed. "T' hope we will have some kind of determination on the problem satisfactory to all the people in- volved by the end of the semester," he said. * * * THE PRESIDENT had a kind word for the proposed student gov- ernment reorganization plan, too. The idea of including "stu- dent experts" from the various campus activities would give "bet- ter general support" to a student council and lend the "great strength of the traditional cam- pus organizations;" he thought. Parenthetically, P r e s i d e n t Hatcher observed that "Legisla- ture is a bad word -it implies law-making, not student govern- "With the University's appropri- ations bill scheduled to be writ- ten in Lansing sometime next week, 'the great silence' has settled on Ann Arbor," the president ex- plained. BUT HE did feel that legislative conferences had been "sympa- thetic" to the University's needs, And he added that in spite of ! what Michign State College's President John Hannah may say, he "doesn't think it's true that University appropriations are being slighted because too muchmoney is going to MSC The University itself "hopes to move along bit by bit, while al- lowing for proper standards, from the present enrollment to return to its postwar peak of about 22,000 in the next four or five years." * « * "HOUSING ought not to be a limiting factor" for the enrollment rise, the president continued, and he cited the recent approved Couz ensHall addition and North Cam- pus housing for married students as steps in the right direction. "But we don't know how to fi- nance new residence halls." Con- struction costs have quadrupled in the past few years, while residence hall revenues have only doubled, he said.

Sorority Rushing Plans Evaluated <">--- (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first in a series of articles dealing with the problems of fall versus spring sorority rushing.)
