SGC Control
Over Annual
Dance Kept
Olympic Fund Dance
Gets Council Approval
By DAVE BAAD j
Student Government Council de-
cided yesterday to maintain con-
trol over disbursal of annual)
Homecoming Dance profits.
Concurrently the, Council voted
to delegate direction of the dance
to a campus organization chosen
from petitions to be submitted to
SGC by April 18.
Student Legislature voted con-
trol of the dance to SGC Feb. 9.
The question of delegating part
of the profits to the directing or-
ganization is up to SGC, but dis-
cussion at yesterday's meeting in-
dicated organizations would run
the dance as a service project.
Co-operation Expressed
Interfraternity Council, the Un-
ion and League all indicated wil-
lingness to operate the dance on
the non-profit basis.
Homecoming Dance profits last
October approximated $3,000.
In other action yesterday SGC
gave tentative approval to the Un-
ion sponsored Olympic Fund
dance, and Phi Epsilon Pi frater-
nity's reactivation at the Univer-
sity. ,
By vote of 10 to one, the Council
approved the Olympic dance pend-
ing submission of a proposed budg-
et with provisions for possible fi-
knancial loss and approval of the
University Calendaring Commit-
tee.
Sigma Alpha Mu, whose peti-
tion to sponsor a similar type
dance was turned down by Stu-
dent Affairs Committee Feb. 22,
will help the Union put on the all-
campus function.
To Split Losses
NSigma Alpha Mu representative
Nate Greene, '57, said yesterday
SAM would assume possible losses
on a 50-50 basis with the Union.
SAM's petition to SAC in Feb-
ruary was rejected in conjunction
with SAC's policy against indi-
vidual housing units sponsoring
all-campus events.
All profits from the dance will
go to the Olympic fund to pay ex-
penses for United States athletes
competing in the 1956 games .
Phi Ep Reactivation
Tentative approval to Phi Ep
fraternity was given pending sub-
mission of a letter from the near-
est alumni chapter pledging sup-
port to Phi Ep's reactivation ef-
fort.
Phi Ep's Detroit alumni group is
in the process of reactivation. At
present the nearest active group
operates in Cleveland.
Five men formerly affiliated
with Phi Epsilon Pi at other
schools form the nucleus of the
new chapter at the University.
The fraternity is given until
September 1956, to activate 30
a men. Rushing will be carried on
at the Union since the group has
no chapter house.
Approval Condition
Phi Ep's reactivation was pre-
viously approved by IFC's Execu-
tive Council and the Fraternity
Presidents Assembly subject to sev-
: eral conditions. They are to se-
cure suitable University approved
housing, a scholarship average
above the University all-male av-
erage, and an active chapter ad-
visor.
Also yesterday SGC officially ap-
proved Pan-Hellenic's revised con-
stitution with little discussion. Ap-
proval was unanimous.
After presentation by Interna-

-'tional Center director James Davis,
SOC endorsed yesterday an idea
for a book drive for the people of
.Asia.

Says Brown Used 'Gutter Politics'j
In Discussing Proposed Charter
By PETE ECKSTEIN.
Prof. Henry L. Bretton of the political science department yester-
day accused Mayor William Brown of bringing "gutter politics" to Ann
Arbor.
He also said the mayor has a campaign against the proposed new
city charter that "is starting to go now."
Mayor Brown has referred to some features of the new charter
as a "step closer to that Communistic business." He spoke at a public
meeting Thursday which he called to discuss the charter.
"Bounds of Decency"
Prof. Bretton said the mayor "has overstepped all bounds of de-

MSC Name Change
Sparks New Request
A special hearing was requested
yesterday by the University, before
action is taken by the State Sen-

Michigan State College name
change measure..
The bill to change MSC's name
from college to university has al-
ready passed the house.
Telegream Sent
A telegram was sent yesterday
by Secretary of the Regents Her-
bert G. Watkins to Sen. Harry F.
Hittle (R-East Lansing), chairman
of the Judiciary committee, re-
questing the hearing.
Sen. Hittle has said that a'
hearing would be granted if the
University requested it. He has also
indicated that study of the meas-
ure will not begin till at least next
week.
'U' Telegram
The telegram sent yesterday by.
Watkins reads:
"The Regents of the University
of Michigan request a hearing on
House Bill 156 now before your
Senate Judiciary Committee for
study and consideration. Basic se-
rious issues have been grossly mis-
represented and ignored because of
false urgency in a campaign to
speed passage of a measure which
has far reaching implications.
"The serious import of House
bill 156, which involves more than
a mere name change demands ma-
ture and thorough deliberation.
Since the present atmosphere ofj
unwarranted pressure has diverted
attention from basic issues, the1
Regents must take a positive and<
vigorous stand on the legal and
other issues involved."

cency and propriety by impugning
the motives of all those who con-
tributed to the formulation of the
new charter and of those who
urge its adoption."
Prof. Bretton, long active in lo-
cal Republican politics, termed the
Republican mayor's remarks an
"insidious attack."
"His tactics are quite clear," the
political scientist said. Although
there is no organized opposition to
the charter, "the mayor doesn't
have to organize. He already has
an organization. His campaign is
starting to go now," he said.
"Most Invidious"
"There were many ways open
to the mayor," Prof. Bretton con-
tinued, "to express his opinion on
the charter. He chose the most in-
vidious one. In using the attribute
'Communistic' he was fully aware
of the possible interpretation that
would be given to his statement."
Prof. Bretton referred to the
"evil connotations" of the word
and accused the mayor of violating
"one of the fundamental concepts
of American politics-namely fair
play."
"He now has the dubious dis-
tinction of being among the first
to bring gutter politics to Ann Ar-
bor," the unsuccessful candidate
for the Charter Commission said.
"I certainly don't back down
from my views on it one bit," May-
or Brown commented yesterday.
"I still stand by my statement.
"Purely Theoretical"
"I don't say that Ann Arbor's
moving toward Communism," he
said, describing his remarks as
"purely theoretical."
"When you take people out of
government you're moving toward
a dictatorship," the mayor said of
the termination of the charter sta-
tus of four boards and the reduc-
tion in size of the city council.
"It's a tendency toward a type of
government that is not democrat-
ic-call it whatever you want to.
If that tendency occurred all over
the United States it would be a
step toward it."
"Highest Regard"
Mayor Brown said he had the
"highest regard" for the members
of the Charter Revision Commis-
sion. He said his differences with
the group centered around "one
word," meaning the charter pro-
vision stating that the council
"may" appoint commissions, not'
that it "shall."
"Time will tell what I'm going
to do" in taking a public position
on the adoption of the charter as
a whole.
"You can't cast a halfhearted
vote for something," Prof. Bretton
said of the mayor's position.

Conference
Supports Bill
Ike Backed
Corporation Tax
Extension Passed
WASHINGTON (A') - A Demo-
cratic plan to cut income taxes
$20-a-person was killed yesterday
in a major victory for the Eisen-
hower administration.
House Democrats backing the
proposal tossed in the towel in a
Senate-House Conference Commit-
tee. The upshot was that the com-
mittee approved a Senate bill
merely continuing present corpora-
tion income and excise tax rates
for one more year.
Voice Vote
The Senate then swiftly passed
this bill on a voice vote.
House leaders scheduled final
action on the bill-minus the tax
cut-next Tuesday. But that was
almost a formality now. The steam
was taken out of the fight when
House Democrats yielded in the
committee.
That sounded the death knell
for the Democratic plan, pushed
through the House by a 210-205
vote, to give each taxpayer and
each dependent a $20 annual tax
cut starting next Jan. 1.
Defeated in Senate
The House tied this cut to an
Eisenhower administration bill
extending corporation and excise
taxes. The Senate defeated the
tax cut 61-32 and passed the
straight extension bill as urged
by President Dwight D. Eisenhow-
er. The Conference Committee was
appointed to settle the conflict,
Unless extended, corporation in-
come and excise tax rates would
drop on April 1-just one week
away-by about three billion dol-
lars annually. The excises apply
to automobiles, cigarettes, liquor,
and other items.
Ike Opposed
P r e si d e n t Eisenhower had
strongly opposed the Democratic
tax-cutting plan throughout a
long, often bitter scrap. He said it
was fiscally irresponsible in view
of an estimated $2,300,000,000 fed-
eral deficit next year, and might
bring more inflation.
Democrats said Republicans had
cut taxes last year, chiefly for
"big corporations and wealthy per-
sons," in the face of an even big-
ger estimated deficit. They said
their plan was needed to bring jus-
tice to the "little fellow."
Group To Plan
Participation
Plans for increased student par-
ticipation in University Develop-
ment Council will be discussed at
two meetings this weekend.
The Council's newly-formed
Student Relations Planning Coin-
mitee will hold its first meeting
1:30 p.m. today in Rm. 2K of the
Union. Gene Hartwig, '55, will
preside over the meeting of 16
students, with Ruth Rossner, 55,
as secretary.
Hartwig and Miss Rossner are
this year's student representa-
tives to the Council Board of
Directors.
The two representatives will
report today's proceedings to to-
morrow's meeting of the full Board
of Directors.
The Board will meet at 10 am.

in the Regents' Room of the Ad-
ministration Bldg., and is expected
to act on a proposal for earlier
appointment of its student re-
presentatives.
The Council Board will also dis-
cuss a program to provide faculty
fellowships in all divisions of the
University. Dean Ralph A. Sawyer
of the School of Graduate Stud-
ies, Prof. Leo Goldberg, chairman
of the astronomy department, and
Dean George G. Brown of the en-
gineering college will address the
Board members.

It can assist in planning curricu-

Can Relieve Pressure
"The development of area com-

ards of instruction can do much,"
he said, "to relieve pressure in ex-

Power stressed the need for 23,-
