'U' STUDENTS STILL APATHETIC? See Page 4 lflu: 43Z i!1a ti4 af 0 I y Latest Deadline in the State VOL. LXV, No. 143 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, APRIL 29, 1955 CLOUDY, COOLER SIX PAGES ' l U Continues Alumni Mail Investigation Governor Concerned Over Partisan Use By LEE MARKS The University was asked yes- terday by Gov. G. Mennen Wil- liams' Office to continue investi- gating the possibility that alumni lists were used for the distribu- tion of Republican party campaign literature. University Relations Director Arthur L. Brandon claimed, "Uni- versity alumni lists were not made available by the University to any political party." Brandon conceded that one or more local alumni clubs might > have supplied their lists for po- litical use, noting, "it is a rela- tively easy matter for somebody to secure a partial list." Farrell Receives Literature The issue came to light about two weeks ago when Lawrence L. Farrell, executive secretary to the Governor, said he was one of a number of alumni who received the campaign literature. Bearing what appeared to be the official University -seal, the liter- ature urged alumni to vote for Republican candidates for Re- gents in the April 4 elections. SBoth Republican candidates were defeated. Seal Not Official Brandon said the seal was not P off icial but was an "unofficial printer's duplicate." Official Uni- versity seal, according to Brandon, can be released only by Secretary to the .Regents Herbert Watkins and is definitely identifiable. Farrell said the situation was regarded by Gov. Williams as a "very serious matter," because it involved the University in parti- san politics in the minds of many people. In response to original queries from the Governor's Office, Presi- dent of the University Harlan H. Hatcher sent the Governor a copy of a report., prepared by Brandon. Yesterday's request, according to Farrell, was just a letter thank- ing the President and asking him to continue the investigation and send the Governor a final report. "We've checked a significant number of alumni and it is ob- vious not all of them received cir- culars," Brandon declared. Brandon said from the way the names appeared he was "con- vinced" some alumni names and addresses had been used, but in- vestigations showed these ad- dresses did not come from the University Alumni Association or catalog office to any political Complaints Received Farrell said his office had re- ceived a number of complaints and he was sure President Hatch- er had also. "The problem presented leads us to insist that there be stronger security to the lists and that the University's regulations be strictly enforced. If the alumni lists were misused, it must not happen again.," Brandon told the Gover- nor in his original report. The University is interested in finding out all it can about this matter, Brandon commented.

ResidenceHl DelegatesArrive By PHYLLIS LIPSKY Delegates to the annual Big Ten Residence Halls Conferenre, some of whom had already arrived in Ann Arbor last night, have a crowded week-end of events sched- uled for them. Fifteen discussion group meet- ings, of which each delegate will attend three, a banquet at South Quad tomorrow and a tour of the University campus are part of the three-day itinerary.

The first set l t j Crews Says U.S. Needs Cooperation Speaking before an Inter-Coop- erative Council membership ban- quet, Cecil R. Crews, an educa- tional director of the Michigan Union Credit League discussed the trend toward more cooperation in the United States. Crews, who recently returned from Burma where he participated in the State Department's Point Four Program, spoke on "New Frontiers To Adventure." He stressed "the burden is on Ameri- cans chiefly to make freedom and abundance available for all. "How we use this freedom and distribute this abundance will de- termine how we live in the future and how the rest of the world lives with us or in opposition to us." Crews continued that it is in our power to destroy in abundance us- ing the atom bomb, or create in abundance using President Dwight D. Eisenhower's idea of a peace ship. Citing the proposed guaranteed annual wage plan, Crews pointed out cooperation between employ- ers and employees already within our own system. Thecooperative movement is also being accepted world-wide as of discussion group meetings, scheduled for 7:30 p.m. today in Mason Hall, will deal with the stu- dent's role in disciplinary matters and planning new dorms, residence hall social programs, and service and employment opportunities in dormitories. Internal Problems To Be Discussed Discussion groups will also be meeting at 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. to- morrow in the League. The rela- tionship of dormitory residents to other groups on campus and their own internal problems occupy most of the delegates' time. A talk by assistant director of the Phoenix Project Roger L. Leatherman on "Peacetime Atomic Energy, Implications and Appli- cations" will follow tomorrow night's banquet. The weekend discussions will be summed up in the concluding ses- sion at 9:30 a.m. Sunday in South Quadrangle's Club 600. Planned by Committee Under the joint sponsorship of Assembly Association and Inter- House Council,' a central confer- ence committee set up the week- end schedule. Sylvia Levi, '56, and Tom Bleha, '56, were the com-, mittee's co-chairmen. Visiting delegations will be hous- ed in dormitories by moving extra cots into the rooms of University students. Delegates will have most of their meals together in South Quad dining rooms. In addition to Big Ten repre- sentatives the conference will be attended by guest delegates from Wayne University, Central Michi- gan College and Michigan State Normal College.

Hatcher, the conference was call- ed a "profitable experience."J The driving ban discussion groupj believed that the committee study- ing the driving problem should' find a definite reason for justify- ing the ban. As its objective, the committee should try to find a solution which' would be equitable to the students,1 so that enforcement could be car- ried on within the student groups themselves. The group brought up the ques- tion of whether or not the driving ban helps to keep the University community together, because ten- ; sion resulting between the stu- dents and the administration . makes its enforcement difficult. Orientation Discussed The group 'which discussed freshmen orientation, believed that a balance must be struck be- itween the necessary procedures and the social activities of the or- ientation program. It mentionedj the possibility of summer counsel- ing to relieve the pressure during orientation week. Bob Blossey, '56BAd, leader of the group, said that "the Confer- ence as a whole makes us more aware of the various phases of the .problems. But it is continual work throughout the year that will give us the solutions to these prob- lems." Foreign Student Difficulties Main difficulties which the for- eign students discussion group, found were poor housing, language problems and inadequate orienta- tion and registration programs. It suggested that existing campus or- ganizations could greatly help the integration program. The League has already offered to help orient the 30 or 40 foreign women students who will come to campus next year. The purpose of its program will be tp establish a basis for friendship by having, for instance, foreign students visit private homes. Bureau of Appointments The Bureau of Appointments discussion group outlined its prob- lems as: (1) organization of the Bureau of Appointments; (2) the faculty's role in helping students Hlistoric Pact Ceremonies To Take Place Next Month THE HAGUE. Netherlands (N)- West German rearmament received its final parliamentary blessing yesterday. The Dutch Senate cast a hls- oric 32-2 vote for the Paris treaties. It was the last such en- dorsement needed to bring West Germany into the Western Alli- ance against communism. The Dutch lower house approved the pacts 71-6 March 30. So now, after nearly five years of eotion-' at and political struggle, the par- liaments of all 15 nations affected have voted for West Germany's sovereignty and the right to re- cruit armed forces that will even- tually total a half million soldiers sailors and airmen.
