He expressed confidence Israel would ultimately win any such contest. Against a shifting pattern of Middle East events, Ben-Gurion told his Parliament the chances of preventing war "arp somewhat ' smaller now" and, if bloodshed comes, the United States and So- viet Russia will share the moral responsibility. "Israel will not start a war," he said. "But if it should break out we will meet it with stength and confidence .. . if war should break out against our will, I have not the slightest doubt that we will stand up and win." First Statement .1 It was his first statement, since British Lt. Gen. John Bagot Glubb was removed last Thursday as the commander of Jordan's Arab Le- gion. Government chiefs of Saudi Arabia, Syria and Egypt were meeting in an Arab summit con- ference in Cairo-and obviously hoping for a deal to bring Jordan's Arab Legion under their unified military command-as the man who led Israel through the war of 1948 delivered his somber review. Moral responsibility for a "sec- ond round" would fall on the So- viet government because of a con- tinued flow of Red weapons to Egypt, Ben-Gurion said, and on the United States because of its continued refusal 'of Israel's re- quest for 50 million dollars worth of arms for defense. Heruth Motion Defeated The nationalist Heruth party, which advocated a preventive war against the Arabs, went down in defeat at the stormy Parliament session on a motion of nonconfi- dene in Ben-Gurion's five-party coalition government.' The motion, introduced by Her- uth leader Menahen Beigin was voted down 66-13. Western military experts say the balance may change later, but Israel is more than a match right now for the military .forces the Arabs could throw into battle. They estimate 250,000 Israelis could be mobilized to man the frontier lines. Jordan Army Best While Egypt is building up her forces with Czech weapons, the best army in the Arab world is still regarded as Jordan's 20,000- man legion, founded, financed and -until last week-commanded by Britons. The Arab summit conference drew Saudi Arabia's Ding Saud and Syrian President Shukri Al Quwatly to Cairo to meet with Egypt's Premier Gamal Abdel Nasser. These three leaders of the Arab bloc already have offered to replace the subsidy of some 22 million dollars a year which Britain pays for support of the Arab Legion in return for military bases in Jordan. There were un- official reports King Hussein might Join them in the talks to coordi- nate Arab defenses. Alignment of King Hussein with the Arab Big Three, already linked by mutual aid pacts placing their forces under a joint military com- mand headed by Egyptian Maj. Gen. Abdel Hakim Amer, would bring strong pressure on Hussein's cousin, King Faisal of Iraq, to quit the Western-sponsored Baghdod Pact which Nasser opposes. Iraq is a partner of Turkey, Pakistan, Iran and Britain in the Baghdad Pact. Iraqi abandonment of the pact probably would be a death blow to the alliance. Mcarnara Asks Speakers Compete WASHINGTON (P)-Sen. Patrick V. McNamara (D-Mich) proposed yesterday that the Democrats take charge of the Senate's $350,000 lobbying investigation to prevent it from chasing "will-o'-the-wisps."

Last Wednesday, SWC voted to appropriate $1,500 for the booklet. The Policy Committee, at a meeting held last night in Quonset Hut A, decided to print 3,700 copies due to increased enrollment. Previous press run was estimated at 3,300. The committee also discussed the administrative set-up for the proposed 120-pa'ge Student Activi- ties Booklet. Debate was held as to whether to print the booklet once a year or once every two years. A request was issued to all per- sons interested in working on styling, art, layout and other areas of the booklet to contact com- mittee members at Quonset Hut A. The booklet will be distributed to freshmen during the orientation period. It is being designed to eliminate the numerous' leaflets now printed by individual campus orgAnizations. Space will be provided in the booklet for each campus organiza- tion to describe Its activities. The Student Activities Booklet will replace the "M" Handbook. tions within the fraternity system and with Student Government Council." Seeks Program Expansion Barber's program will be con- cerned with "expansion of contact within the fraternity system, more frequent IFC progress reports, and expansion of the pledge program through Junior Intra-Fraternity Council." Fred Lyons, '57, Phi Gamma Delta, was Leedy's opponent in the presidential election. Taking ad- vantage of the "step-down pro- cedure," Lyons also was a candi- date, along with Rob Tr~ost, '58 Radio and Television, Sigma Chi, for the executive vice-presidency, won by Barber. Trost also stepped down and ran for Administrative Vice-President. He defeated Walt Naumer, '57BAd, Beta Theta Pi. Naumer Elected Secretary Naumer in turn stepped down to defeat Mal Cumming, '58, Alpha Tau Omega for the secretaryship. Cumming was then named treasurer by acclamation. The newly elected board will assume office immediately. They had been trained for the positions for' three weeks. Military Force Needled: Dulles KARACHI, Pakistan (P)-The creation of a standing military force is needed to protect vulner- able SEATO nations from Com- munist aggression, United States Secretary of State John Foster Dulles told foreign ministers of the Southeast Asia. Treaty Organi- zation yesterday. Secretary Dulles said that de- spite shifts in Soviet policy, the West has no evidence that Mos- cow actually is abandoning force. There has been no real reduction in the rate of soviet military pre- paration, he declared. Bob Weinbaum, '56, former pres- ident of IFC will continue to serve on SGC in ex-officio capacity for the remainder of the semester. , Weinbaum and the other out- going offers received a standing ovation for their efforts of the past year which saw the Michigan IFC receive the highest award a fraternity system can attain, the Grand Trophy for being the most outstanding fraternity council in the United States and Canada. Last year's officers agreed the new board would undoubtedly ful- fill'. very adequately their offices and continue to display the out- standing characteristics for which they were selected. USSR Urged To Accept Arms Plane WASHINGTON UP) - President Dwight D. Eisenhower urged Soviet Premier Bulganin yesterday to join him in efforts to end the atomic' arms race by freezing stockpiles of atomic weapons under a "safe- guarded" disarmament system. He made his appeal in a letter released by the White House yes- terday afternoon and Bulganin reacted in a friendly manner with extraordinary speed. The President agreed with a Bulganin argument that it would be difficult to prevent the secret manufacture of atomic and hydro- gen weapons in violation of coh- trols, but he said "the risks in- herent in failing to achieve control make it imperative to overcome the difficulties involved." Central Issue The great central issue between the' United States and Russia over disarmament has long been the development of an adequate sys- tem of 'safeguards. Nothing in President Eisenhower's letter ap- peared to weaken the American position that such a system is basic to any progress on disarma- ment. The Eisenhower letter was de- livered in Moscow Monday through the American Embassy there, The Premier told reporters who met him at a Moscow reception that he considered the President's message a "very interesting letter and a good one," though it would require much study. "My ultimate hope," President Eisenhower wrote Bulganin, "is that all production of fissionable materials anywhere in' the world will be devoted exclusively to peaceful purposes." Asks Weapon Limitations He also told Bulganin that while it may be difficult in the absence of "real peace in the Far East" to agree on cutting the size of armies, navies and air forces just now it Plan Review Of Rooming Assignments Committee To Study Application Wording $~y VERNON1 NA"HGANG Residence Halls Board of Gov- ernors yesterday decided to create a subcommittee to study the room- mate placement question and make a recommendation to the Board. Dean of Men Walter B. Rea's motion was "to appoint a sub- committee to review and study possible revisions and to present a recommended version for the consideration of the Board at its next meeting." In the motion, "revisions"~ re- ferred to proposals for altering the room application blank made by Prof. Theodore M. Newcomb, of the sociology department, in a letter to the Residence Halls Gov- ernors. Discuss Application Wording During recent meetings, the Governors had discussed Prof. Newcomb's proposed wordings in an attempt to adopt them to Board policy and make them posi- tive instead of negative state- ments. Dean Rea's proposal to form a subcommittee, which had been mentioned at an earlier meeting, met with the approval of the gov- ernors, who wanted a new, re- vised statement to work from. During a review of Regents' by- laws and policy administration re- lationship to the Board of Gover- nors, the question of staff appoint-, ments was brought up. Confusion Over Appointments It was felt that there is some' confusion and uncertainty as to what part the board should and does play in the appointment of staff personnel. The Board decided to first list all positions in their department and then proceed to ascertain which of these jobs they would play a greater role in selecting ap- plicants. UNEXPECTED: Enrollment Rise Results In 'U' Housing Shortage (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the second in a series of articles dealing with Housing. Today's article examines some of the reasons behind the shortage.) By LEE MARKS To an extent expansion of the University and the housing short- age are two sides of the same coin. The University has never attempted to house all its students- few large schools do. Even if the University builds fast enough to house the same proportion of students as enrollment increases, a shortage will develop unless increased apartment facilities are pro- vided by private builders. The problem then is not simply a University one. It is, most directly, for both town and gown to solve. Involves Overall Policy And, as will be shown later, it involves overall policies of the Board of Regents and the state0 of Michigan. Charges most frequently leveled at the University last fall were: 1) the Administration should have foreseen the enrollment increase and prepared accordingly, 2) en- rollment should have been limited when housing was exhausted. .Today's article will discuss the first charge. Total enrollment estimates are based on individual estimates by the academic deans of the dif- ferent colleges. Dean of Women Deborah Bacon notes. "They are specialists and Nixon Asked Not To Run NEW YORK R) - Newsweek magazine said yesterday that Pres- ident Dwight D. Eisenhower sug- gested to Vice-President Richard M. Nixon "that he consider with- drawing as a candidate for reelec- tion." In its current issue, Newsweek says the President approached Nixon the day before he an- nounced his. own candidacy for reelection. The magazine adds: "He offered Nixon a place in the Cabinet. In Washington, the Wihte House refused to confirm or deny the Newsweek account. Newsweek claims its information came from "friends of both the President and the vice president." their estimates are usually re- markably close." Dean Bacon points out that heavy increases were expected in 1957-'58 when the war babies reach college age. "What caused the bulge in '55? No one knows," she remarks. Part of the answer comes from Director of Admissions Clyde Vro- man. "More people are returning to school than usual. We have less leaving. Further, a favorable eco- nomic situation has resulted in mushrooming enrollments all over the country," he told The Daily. Vroman said the number of freshmen entering was up only 175 last 'fall. Not Foreseeable Manager of Service Enterprises Francis Shiel comments that no school foresaw the situation. It was not foreseeable. The crisis was supposed to begin in two years and build to a peak in 1963, he says. "We started going uphill fast at a time when we were supposed to be going downhill." Vroman admits that part of the problem is the result of slight in- tegration between admissions of fice and housingo' ffices. A Major Factor. A major factor in estimating ad- missions, according to Vroman, is the number of students who accept and then don't come. Consequently the University has to admit more than it Can accomodate and try to estimate the number who won't show up. To correct this, Vroman sug- gests requiring students who have been accepted to make a "sub- stantial" deposit upon receiving notification of admittance. Foreseeing the shortage by more closely estimating admissions is one thing-limiting admissions or providing more housing, the only two ways to prevent housing short- ages, is quite another. Tomorrow's article will discuss these aspects. mpany Stars Four Month Investigation Concluded Housing Groups Report to SGC BY DICK SNYDER After four months of "intensivt, dilligent work," the University's four major campus housing groups will present today the results of studies of the rushing situation. While the Panhellenic-Assembly group will present a single pro- posal to Student Government Council, the Interfraternity-Inter- House Council report consists of four alternatives derived in the study. Representatives of both study committees, set up by motion of League President Hazel Frank, '56, have indicated that their reports have been written as a result of much "cooperative discussion." To Present Alternatives The IFC-IHC group will pre- sent, with rationale, four alterna- tives to the rushing problem. The alternatives will be deferred rushing, deferred pledging, first se- mester rushing later in the fall, or maintenance of the status quo, first and second emester rushing. Though the substance of the Panhel-Assembly proposal has not been disclosed, members of both organizations have indicated that a single repoyt has been adopted by majority vote of the committee, composed of an equal number of representatives from both organi- zations. Panhel's Carol Debruin, 57, said, "The free exchange of ideas has enabled both organizations to understand and evaluate a mutual problem in its entirety." 'Report Comprehensive' Assembly's Jean Scruggs, '58, agreed with Miss Debruin and commented:that the report will be "comprehensive and just about as objective as any committee could get it. Our committee has been in agreement in all ways throughout our study." IFC President Bob Weinbaum, '56, and IHC President Tom Bleha, '56, stressed that meetings of their committee were carried, on in "a cooperative attitude and in sincere good faith." Weinbaum said, however, "Quite frankly, many of the areas we covered are somewhat subjective." 'Tight on Time' He explained that the commit- tee was "tight on time" and stated that today's report is a summary to be considered by Council mem- bers during the week. Actual recommendations, he said, will probably come at the Council's. meeting next week. Both groups have formulated their reports on the basis of dis- cussions, interviews, surveys and miscellaneous data. The Frank motion, passed unan- imously by SGC on Oct. 19, pro- vided "that the study of any prob- lems that may arise in connection with the acquisition of new soror- ity and fraternity members be assigned to the Panhellenic Asso- ciation and the Assembly Associa- tion, and the Interfraternity and Inter-House Councils respectively." Also on the agenda tonight is a motion to accept the principle of a "campus community chest" drive which would conbine all campus bucket drives and possibly national appeals now conducted on ndi- vidual basis. The Council will also act on a policy motion, with possible request for action, recommending estab- i 'See the Mosquito's Viw' Professor Bates Suggests By RENA KATZ "You've got to see it from the mosquito's point of view," Prof. Marston Bates, of the zoology department said yesterday at a lecture for public health students. Prof. Bates, who spent a great deal of time in Albania doing re- search work on malaria and the disease-carying Anopheles mosquito reports that the problem encountered by experts was that cases of maleria did not always occur<. wherever the mosquito was pre- sent. 4T W s a Intense studies showed, how- 'T w o s a Co ever, that only certain species bite men and hence only these species spread the dread disease. In order to study these various species Prof. Bates and his col- leagues had to breed the several types. In the process the peculiar sex habits of the Anopheles > wr Group Plans Booklet 0 discovered. "Music," theprofessor comment- ed, "encourages the insect to mate. Many were the times I spent evenings playing the violin to my mosquitos. Music and the presence of light," he added, "place the Ano- pheles in a state of sexual excite- ment." Prof. Bates, who did his re- search in cooperation with the Rockerfeller Foundation, said that the study of malaria is important in view of the vital role it has .. r.,... x, '~-
