FIREMEN PREPARE TO FIGHT BLAZE
Restaurant Blaze
ADamage Unknown'
Fire in the basement of the Virginian Restaurant clouded cam-:
pustown with smoke, and routed "about 125" customers early yes-
terday afternoon.
The blaze was brought under control slightly over an hour after
Ann Arbor firemen arrived on the scene. Nobody was injured, butj
the basement of the restaurant was damaged by water, and holes?
were hacked in the floors.
Proprietor Lawrence F. Tiballs said he could not as yet estimatej
the damages. The basement, which
was still under a foot of water
late yesterday afternoon.
Customers first noticed smoke
pouring from a basement window
in front of the store at 12:20 p.m.
Class Gift
North Campus will soon be stud-
ded with trees,
The gift committee of the sen-
ior class board has decided upon
trees as the 1955 class gift. Seed-
lings will be planted on the North
Campus area sometime this year.
With arrangements as yet in-
complete, many varieties of trees
are being suggested, but final deci-
sion must rest upon the plant de-
partment, a University-hired ar-
chitect, and spokesmen for the
senior class. A plaque commemor-
ating the class will also be in-
stalled, although the exact loca-
tion is unknown. No figures were
given and final costs are undeter-
mined.
Seniors Comment
Senior students contacted last
night offered a variety of com-
ments.
David Zeff bellowed "Whaaat,"
in complete disbelief and Joan
Cooper could only whisper breath-
lessly, "Oh, no!" when informed
of the selection.
Other students seemed to like
the idea. Audrey Morris felt "It's
better than a park bench." Jo-
seph Lodge said "I think it's a
good idea," commenting that he
liked the thought of a "perma-
nent" gift.
A similar opinion was expressed
by Jean Isaacson who exclaimed,
"I think it's very nice. I like liv-
ing things better than stone
things."
Varied Opinions
Edna Carlson commented, "I
can't think of anything off hand
that would be better."
Janet W. Malcolm thought for
a while, retorting, "The tree has
always been of considerable in-
terest to me. Yes, I am pleased to
E be a member of the class of 1955."
One vehement coed, who re-
fused to divulge her name, said
with a gruff, "Hum. What will
they think of next?" Another
young lady, equally protective of
her nomenclature, seemed delight-
ed, "More trees-more necking."
n A C E7 1 . ar t
Five pieces of fire-fighting equip-
ment arrived on the scene shortly
after.-
Attributed to Wiring +
Assistant Fire Chief Harold
Gauss attributed the blaze to elec-
trical wiring in the basement. The
thick, white smoke which set fire-
men coughing was probably caused
by a burning pine subceiling,
Gauss said.
The fire was localized to the
front of the basement, where it
crept among wiring and joints.
Move Clothing
Employees of Wild's Clothing
Store, next door to the Virginian,
raced against the impending
blaze, which never reached the
store, to remove the building's
stock. University students and
townspeople helped in the removal.
Wild's was destroyed completely
by fire in 1947, and had been re-
built with fireproof blocks. An-
other fire had damaged the store
in 1935. The Granada Resturant,
predecessor of The Virginian, was
also previously damaged by fire.
A fire-wall separated the res-
taurant from ,its other next-door
neighbor, the Kresge Store, but;
doors were closed anyway to keep
out the smoke.

Clouds of dirty white smoke
bloomed acridly in the Spring air
yesterday As firemen fought and
beat a blaze in the Virginian Res-
taurant.
Sweating, gas-masked fire-fight-
ers disappeared into the thick
front of smoke only to reappear
minutes later, wobbling and gasp-
ing for breath. University students
on their way to one-o'clock classes
crowded around to watch.
Students Volunteer
Some of the students volun-
teered to help Wild's Clothing
Store next door remove its stock.
People rushed in and out of the
store like ants salvaging their hill.
The fire never reached Wild's how-
ever.
Meanwhile, the smoke still
poured. One fireman, apparently
in the restaurant for a long while,
staggered out of the pall and col-
lapsed on the running board of a
fire-truck.
Firemen Struggle
"Pleasant," he coughed, his face
blue and white. Another fireman,
without gas-mask or helmet, fell

Value of. Class
Integration
Representatives of the literary
college's students and faculty met
yesterday to air viewpoints on the
value of integration courses.
Descriptions of such courses in
other institutions, their functions
and practicality, were suggested.
Several student members of the
college conference expressed need
for a course which would "tie sub-
jects together."
Literary College Steering Com-
mittee chairman Joan Bryan, '56,
explained students often come
upon the same principles in dif-
ferent classes but have little
chance to compare and integrate
the various viewpoints.
Problems of planning and teach-
ing courses that would cut across
departmental lines were dis-
cussed, and representatives debat-
ed whether such courses would be
more beneficial on the freshman
or senior level.

College Steering Committee will

For TensionnFoms
East-West Split
Seen Growing
BANDUNG () - Premier Chon
En-lai of Red China told Asian
and African leaders yesterday the
danger of war is increasing in both
East and West.
He accused the United States of
1 continuing "to create tension in
p the Taiwan Formosa area" and
trying to overthrow the Peiping
regime.
Chou addressed the Asian-Afri-
can conference, where tempers
were rising in a growing split
along East-West lines He assert-
ed an "extremely few" people are
preparing for war, while Asians
and Africans want only peace and
national independence.
Co-existence Possible
He insisted the "peaceful co-ex-
istence of countries with different
social systems can be realized."
He declared Red China is not in-
terested in subversive activities,
but is being "subverted by the
United States of America."
While specifically mentioning
Formosa, Chou said he was not
making a proposal to the confer-
ence regarding that trouble spot.
He added that if Peiping had
wanted to bring up such matters,
it "could raise the question of the
liberation of Taiwan and the
neighboring islands. We could
have made criticism of the unfair
treatment of China in the United
Nations, but we are not going to
do that."
Disputesd mitted
When the conference agenda
was finally adopted belatedly Sun-
day on the eve of the opening ses-
sion, specific controversial sub-
jects such as the Formosa crisis
and the Arab-Israeli dispute were
deliberately omitted. The agenda
was designed to stress general
problems among Asian-Arab coun-
tries, such as colonialism, poverty
arld economic development.
Chou's blast at the West yester-
day was not the only on fired in
the war of words. Brig. Gen. Car-
los P. Romulo, head of the Philip-
pines' delegation and staunch
friend of the West, warned the
Asians and Africans against sur-
rendering blindly to a "new super-
barbarism, a new super-imperial-
ism a new super-power"
"Seize Power"
Without naming communism,
Romulo said the countries repre-
sented at the conference had not
fought to end Western colonialism
only to surrender to "rulers among
ourselves who seize the power to
keep us enslaved." He declared the
Asian and African countries do
not want leadership "subservient
to foreign rulers, be they in Lon-
don or Paris, The Hague or Wash-
ington, or we might add, Moscow,"
Panhel Cites
Weaknesses
At Meeting.
Lack of service projects -of value
to the whole campus as well as to
sorority members was named as a
major cause of Panhellenic As-
sociation weakness at yesterday's
Panhel workshop.
"Panhel has never attempted
anything that "really, counts"
members declared. They felt that
if projects "of dramatic import-
ance to the rest of the campus"
were carried through the organi-
zation's prestige would rise.
The need for good publicity and
a feeling of responsibility on the
part of Panhel delegates was also
stressed.
In an evaluation of the pledge
period workshop members recomn-
mended that pledge projects should
begineright away so that the per-
