Committee Picks
PhiEp Fraternity
Given Campus Spot Over Tau Ep;
Chosen by IFC Executive Group
By JOEL BERGER
Phi Epsilon Pi was unanimously approved last night by the
Interfraternity Council executive committee to be the campus' next
fraternity.
Approval on the action must come from the IFC Fraternity Presi-
dents Assembly Tuesday and from the Student Government Coun-
cil.
Both Phi Ep and Tau Epsilon Phi, which vied with Phi Ep to
come here, have had chapters here in the past. Phi Ep was here
from 1921 to 1941, while TEP operated a house here from 1923 until
1932. ..
The executive committee gave several reasons for its action. In-
Union Can't
Serve Beer,
Board Told
Would Violate
City Ordinance
By MURRY FRYMER
"There is no possibility of ever
getting beer served in the Union,"
Franklin Kuenzel, general manag-
er of the Union. said yesterday at
a Union Board of Directors meet-
ing.
Discussing recent efforts to pro-
vide beer in the new Union addi-
tion, Kuenzel said there was a city
ordinance preventing such a move.
"You can't serve beer in the Un-
ion, or you will have beer in thej
entire campus area," he said.
Tradition Problems
The Board also discussed an-
other recent attempt to preserve
the Union tap room furniture as
part of the University tradition.
Kuenzel said that plans for the
modernization were approved last
year and it had been the feelingl
of the Board at that time to com-
pletely renovate the tap room.
"We will attempt to keep the1
traditional tables iA the south
cafeteria," Kuenzel said, but added
that there was no way of saving
the carved table-tops on the north
wall now.
Set Up Committee
The Board agreed to set up a
special committee to consult with
Kuenzel on the plans as they are
now proceeding. Union PresidentJ

More damage was certain but

WASHINGTON - President
Dwight D. Eisenhower pledged
yesterday the United States will
continue to maintain a "fair
share" of its land, sea and air
forces in Europe to guard against
Communist attack.
In a special message to the pre-

President said he will keep Amer-

area exists."
Tax Policy..-
WASHINGTON-A major de-
bate to tax policy opened in the
Senate yesterday, with Sen. Harry
Byrd declaring the government is
"mortgaged to the hilt" and can-
not affort to cut taxes without
cutting spending.
The Virginia Democrat, chair-

mittee, said, "It should be the con-
sidered judgment of every one of
us that the federal debt should not
be increased except for extreme
national emergency."
Pay Raises .. .
WASHINGTON - The House
voted yesterday, 399-1, to grant
pay raises of six to 25 per cent for

The idea is to keep good men in,

TV Debates , , .
LANSING - Republican State
Chairman John Feikens yesterday
challenged Democrats to a series
of television debates on public
service time.
Feikens previously had turned;
down a Democratic challenge for
a similar series of debates because
they would have been carried on
'UAW-CIO television time.
Feikens said he had asked Mich-
igan's television stations to grant
the public service time and de-
clared that the Republicans are
ready to go ahead with the de-
bates if the time is available and
the Democrats are willing.

cluded among them were:
1) Scholarship records of Phi Ep
while here in comparison to TEP
were by far the more outstanding
compiled by the two houses.
2) Phi Ep was here for a longer
period of time than TEP.
3) The size and strength of Uni-
versity alumni from Phi Ep will
be instrumental in establishing a
strong chapter here.

re-activated fraternity number

Numerous conditions, w h i c h
must also be approved by the As-
sembly, were attached to the re-
activation. All must be fulfilled
after one year here. Included
among them were:
1) Phi Ep must have a scholar-
ship above the all-male average
here.
2) Beginning next October,
monthly progress reports on mem-:
bership, finances and chapter op-
eration must be submitted to the
executive committee for approval.
Deans To Consider
Calendar Change
Committee Recommends Two
Plans After Two Years of Study
By BETTY SCHOMER
University Calendaring Committee agreed at a meeting yesterday
to submit two academic calendar plans to a Deans' Conference.
Recommendation of the two plans to the Deans' Conference is a
result of a two-year study by the student-faculty administration
committee, under the chairmanship of Erich Walter, assistant to the
president.
Begins After Labor Day
The first plan begins the fall semester at least one and not more
than two weeks after Labor Day. Classes begin on Thursday of the
"first week of school. Registration
is scheduled for the first three
Ce sdays of the week.
The plan retains the present
Thanksgiving and spring vacations
however, the Christmas recess is

days. After Christmas vacation
there is a two week period before
classes end on a Wednesday. Final
examinations start on Friday fol-
lowing a "free" day.

Tom Leopold, 55, said that inI
case a change of plan was pro-
posed, a special meeting of the'
Board would be held.
A long discussion was held on
the advisability of adding the
presidents of the Inter-House
Council and the Inter-Fraternity
Council to the Board, either as vot-
ing or non-voting members.
The executive committee will
make a final review after one year.
3) There must be 30 men, both
actives and pledges, in the house,
which will have two open and
three formal rushing periods.
Approved Housing Needed'
4) Phi Ep must have obtaineda
University-approved housing suit-
able for occupany.
5) An active chapter adviser
will be required.
6) Phi Ep must adhere to all
University regulations as a group
and will be subject to them.
IFC President Bob Weinbaum,
'56, said a poll taken among the
six fraternities which will be most
af ected by the new fraternity's re-
activation showed three favoring
Phi Ep, two favoring TEP and
one with no preference.
Earlier in the meeting, the group
voted to recommend to the As-
sembly that permission be ob-
tained from the executive com-
mittee before a non-member is
allowed to room or board in a fra-
ternity house.
Johnston Picked
To Analyze Blast
Prof. Bruce M. Johnston, pro-
fessor of structural engineering,
will analyze the effect of an atom-
ic bomb blast on light industrial
buildings next month. .
Prof. Johnston has been re-
quested by the Federal Civil De-
fense Administration to inspect
steel and aluminum industrial
structures before and after an
"open-shot" A-bomb detonation at
the Nevada Test Site in mid-April.

The alternate proposal differs
only in that a one week period
instead of two precedes final ex-
aminations, moving the entire
schedule of the second semester
up a week.'
During the meeting, H. 0.
(Fritz) Crisler, director of physi-
cal education and athletics, point-
ed out that the alternate propos-
ed plan would eliminate 11 double
practice sessions and the proposed
plan only four. Both proposals
would also limit the basketball and
baseball schedules.
Although the proposals are plan-
ned for the fall of 1956, the pro-
posed final examination schedule
begins this semester. After a break
on May 27, finals will start on
May 28.
Advantages, Disadvantages
Advantages of the two proposals
were summarized as follows: two
15-week semesters; elimination of
the "lame duck" period after
Christmas; Saturday classes giv-
en full equity; one day break be-'
fore exams in each semester and
a lengthened final examination
period.
Disadvantages of the plans sug-
gested include a shorter orienta-
tion period and conflicts with
some athletic schedules.
Final' adoption of either pro-
posal by the Deans' Conference
and the Board of Regents would'
take effect in the fall of 1956.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.-
Harvard's Crimson fought fiercely
here last niglht, but not fiercely
enough to keep Michigan's red hot
Wolverine from storming to a
7-3 victory and a berth in the fi-
nals of the eighth annual NCAA
tournament.
Captain Bill MacFarland pow
ered home three unassisted goals
for his seventh hat trick of the
year to lead the Wolverines into
Saturday night's final. They will
play the winper of tonight's Colo-
rado College-St. Lawrence game
for the title.
Cleary Scores Two
Big Bill Cleary, who scored two
of Harvard's three goals, was all
that Harvard really had. Michigan,
however, showed tremendous bal-
ance, as Tom Rendall slapped
home two goals, and Dick Dunni-
gan and Neil Buchanan one each.
Harvard's Ivy League champions
played a faster, more rugged game
than most of the experts figured,
but it was not enough to halt the
Wolverines, who scored two early
goals and were never headed,

three solo efforts on a bullet shot

Michigan continued to take the
initiative on offense as the pres-

Crimson defense. Rendall increas-
ed the winner's margin to, 3-0 at
3:21 of the second stanza. Ren
dall's goal was a screen shot from
just -inside the blue line that
trickled off the, pads of Slymm and
rolled between his legs into the
cage.
A primarily pro-Harvard crowd
was treated to a strong comeback
from the Easterners. Cleary na-
rowed the score down to 3-1 about
four minutes later when Michigan'
was short handed via a penalty
to defenseman Bob Pitts for trip

- After the second unassisted goal
by MacFarland had seemed to put
the Wolverines* safely in the lead'
again, Cleary came back with his
86th point of the year at 13:08.
He was credited with the tally, al-
