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 rn .,. r ..,.

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.

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- man of the Senate Finance Com- 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 career men in the armed services.

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. Prof. I. D. Scott 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.

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 evy S ta es decreased to 'approximately 12 days.

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. .

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. U.S. To Admit 11 Red Editors WASHINGTON 0")-The Unit- ed States agreed yesterday, aftera months of deliberation, to let 11 Russian student editors pay a vis- it to American colleges. The Russian g ov e rnm en t promptly followed through with a formal note saying it would like, to send a delegation of Soviet farmers to this country. The 11 Russian student editors who have been granted permis- sion to visit American colleges run in age from 24 to 39, with most of them in their late 20's and early 30's. American college editors are seldom more than 21. (James Davis, director of 'the International Center, commended the State Department's action last night and said it was a sort of "calculated risk."

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, Michigan got off to a flying start early in the first period when Mac.- Farland netted the first of his three solo efforts on a bullet shot from the left side.

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 ping. - 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- though Pitts in trying to clear the puck accidently kicked it into the cage past 'M' goalie Lorne Howes. Play picked up to a high point of tightness, as a final Harvard drive brought the margin down to 4-3.
