SUNDAY, APRIL 15, 1956 NIGHT EDITOR: MARY ANN THOMAS 4- IHC Must Oppose Rate Hike' Until Other Means Exhausted f I OURTEEN MONTHS AGO Inter-House .Council "reluctantly accepted" a $50 in- crease in Residence Hall room and board rates. Tomorrow IHC will again meet to consider an- other increase proposed by the University's business offices. The stand it takes will be entirely up to representatives of residents in the three quad- raigles. It must base its. decisions both on reasons for the increase being directed against quad residents and on the feelings. of the resi- dents. Whether. residents, like it. or: not, the Uni- Sersltyihas been forced to give salary increases to its full-time, non-student employees. Since th. State Legislature voted pay boosts for its employees at the University, the University must in turn increase the wages of Residence Iall employees who are not paid by the State. a matter of good business; pay scales of the two employee groups should be the same. In addition, more money is needed to oper- te the Residence Halls for the three additional 4ays of school per semester :approved by a $pecial calendaring committee last fall. The salary increase will cost each -one. of he expected 5900 Residence Hall residents 16 15. The three additional days of school necessitate 'an additional $6 per resident. But he University has somehow managed to keep he total per resident increase down to $20. HE FACTS indicate that the salary and op- erating increases are necessary. Residents 'annot argue otherwise.' But the propriety of obtaining the additional money out of student pockets certainly is open to question. IHC ihould therefore concern itself with the means Vo the end. IHC President Tom Bleha has pointed out that his organization has four courses of ac- tion open. He rightly indicated that two of 6aiese courses, 1) taking no action or, 2) ac- cepting the raise unconditionally, were un- feasonable. Bleha went on to imply that of 1ie other two, accepting it under certain con- 1itions or "fighting it just to fight it," the form-. Or would be the more practical thing to do. other considerations, however, indicate it would not. f Bleha first points out that IHC should view te matter realistically, that the proposed raise will probably become an actuality regardless f how the residents feel. The Council should get "as much as it can" rather than nothing &t all. The best way to do this, Bleha be- leves, is to accept it providing certain con- ditions- 'are e OW EVEN IF THIS were the most realistic way of acting the IHC should also con- sider the matter of principles. There is often more to be gained by losing a fight for some- thing you believe right than winning a shal- low victory of the type the Council achieved following the last raise. This principle should be strongly considered in contrast to joining a side when you can't beat it. But what is surprising is that President Ble- ha believes that IHC actually obtained the vic- tory they sought last year by joining the other . side. Bleha himself proposed last year's mo- tion "reluctantly accepting the proposed room and board raise, if, and only if," five conditions were met. As he said last week, three of the conditions were met. The two other stirulations in the, "if-and-only-if" acceptance were not. A dif- ferential rate scale between freshmen and up- per classmen has not been considered and the contract termination policy has not been re- evaluated.. At first glance, there is apparently no other means by which the rising-costs of Residence Hall construction andsmaintenance can be met. Students see, among, other athletic ex- pansion programs, construction, of -a $300,000 press box complete with dining room, and they complain. But the athletic department is a self-supporting unit and it understandably has some justification for keeping its own money for its own usp. Moreover, University officials are wary of ising football gate receipts in other programs for fear the State Legislature will cut appro- priations. It would be unfairfor students living outside the Residence Halls to be taxed for operating increases. Why should they be assessed for benefits which they do.not receive? Of course, Editorial Staff In the same manner it is unfair for Residence Hall residents themselves to pay $150 per year to pay off debts. And the Legislature will not support any school's living units. At least they haven't to date. BUT THE UNIVERSITY and the student body are not doing all they can to achieve a workable solution to the problem. By condi- tionally accepting increases year after year, IHC is backing itself into a- corner. And be- cause the University does not consult them earlier in the discussion, it does not make it any easier for students to obtain an under- standing of just what is involved. The proposed increase does not have to be accepted like.a spoonful of castor oil. It should not be approved until every other means is exhausted. Immediately, residents can encourage their parents to write members of the Residence Hall Board of Governors, the Board of Reg- ents and the State Legislature. They can work through their IHC in opposing the increase on logical grounds. More important, both University officials and IHC members should work closer in the future so that all possible sources of funds are thor- oughly considered before students are asked to dip into their pockets. Such things should be considered as an organized campaign to alumni explaining the University's need of more Residence Hall funds, encouragement of private construction of living units and a re- duction in unnecessary Residence Halls staff. THE UNIVERSITY business office points out that residents are in no position to make decisions when they don't have the facts. But this is only because the facts are not given the residents. The University should not negate the possibility that there may be a plan which would cut-down increased resident as- sessments.r Whenever people are hit with increasing costs, their immediate reaction is, of course, negative. But IHC should not therefore con- clude that it necessarily must accept the raise in spite of strong resident protest. IH should oppose the $20 resident increase and work with the University toward another solution. --DICK SNYDER Bicycle Resolution Creates More Problems ANN ARBOR'S City Council meets tomorrow . night. On the agenda is the second read- ing of the proposed bicycle ordinance revi- sion. This revision will give the Council power to determine city sidewalk areas upon which bi- cycle riding and parking will be prohibited. The resolution is a good one, for it will al- leviate much of the congestion on city side- walks-the State Street area from William to Liberty being the prime congestion example. However, the resolution does not fully Aolve existing problems. Bicycle riding students will not be per- mitted to use city sidewalks when on wheels, The alternative is to use city streets. The result will be added congestion in the streets, leading to an increased accident rate. Also, the resolution does not provide for bicycle parking areas. IT HAS BEEN SUGGESTED that cycling stu- dents park their bicycles on the sidewalk extensions. This is a near impossibility. There is not sufficient space on the extensions to park bicycles. Also, if it were possible, stu- dents who parked bicycles on extensions would be blocking the sidewalks to motorists who park at the curb, In these respects, the resolution before the Council is inadequate. The Council is urged not to take action on the proposed bicycle ordinance revision until such time as provisions are made for parking bicycles and relieving congestion in city streets. An amendment to the proposed revision is in order. -RENE GNAM New Books at the Library Carey, Ernestine Gilbreth -- Rings Around Us; Boston, Little, Brown & Co., 1956.

Both are painted so abstractly that probably neither would be recognized without the title. Yet isn't the title of a paint- ing really unimportant? The sub- ject of modern art is its own com- position; the picture itself is the main concern of the artist. It is the reason that many artists en- title their compositions merely Paintings as Jack Wilkinson did or Peinture if they happen to be French as John Levee. The divergent approaches to the. identical subject, one subtle and one vivid, are created by the color used in each picture and the method of application in each more than by the differences in the organization and composition.

WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND-* Behind New Jersey Primary By DREW PEARSON IN 1953 when Bob Meyner, the young and then relatively un- known New Jerseyite, was running for governor of the Garden State, he appealed to another young Democrat, Senator Kefauver of Tennessee,-to come north and make some speeches for him. Kefauver did so. He dug into the files of his crime probe, picked out some interesting facts about New Jersey racketeers, some of them linked with Republicans, and de- livered some hard-hitting speeches which helped elect a Democratic governor of New Jersey for the first time in 15 years. Last week Kefauver was back in Meyner's state seeking dele- gates for limself at the Chicago convention. But he is getting no reciprocity from the governor he helped elect. s sC THE TWO MEN have had some pleasant, friendly meetings, the first at the Essex House in New- ark, where Meyner came to see the Senator from Tennessee. "I love you, Estes," was the gist of Meyner's conversation, "and I appreciate what you once did for me. But I'm not going to give you any help in the primary." Actually the New Jersey primary tomorrow boils down to one of the most important battles of the pre- convention period. On one side, Kefauver will be trying to keep the lead over Stevenson he established in Minnesota. On the other side, Meyner, who has now thrown his lot with Stevenson, will be trying to keep his own prestige in New Jersey by taking delegates away from Kefauver-delegates which are unpledged, but which would probably go to Stevenson if con- trolled by Meyner. Likewise, John Kenny, boss of the old Hague machine in Jersey City-a city where the tall Tennes- seean unearthed plenty of crime-- will be out to protect his machine. He is dead opposed to Kefauver. Kefauver has had terrific crowds, one of the biggest right in Kenny's own Jersey City bailiwick. In New- ark, the crowds were so enthusi- astic that Mayor Leo Carlin, who had plannedto stay neutral, came up to congratulate Kefauver. Whether the enthusiasm of the crowds can be translated into dele- gate strength will test out whether New Jersey local leaders can be any stronger than the local lead- ers of Minnesota. Note-Estes got into the New Jersey campaign late, had to get his own delegates into the race late, says he'll be satisfied to carry 10 out of 36 delegates. IT IS NOW possible to report more details on the closed-door conference between Secretary of State. Dulles and bipartisan Con- gressional leaders over the threat- ening war clouds in the Near East. "The President," Dulles said, has requested me to brief you gentlemen on the seriousness of the situation." He then proceeded to sketch a picture of deepening crisis. One thing which disturbed him was the cabled reports from U.S. embassies in Cairo and Tel Aviv that both Premier Nasser of Egypt and President Ben-Gurion of Is- rael had become increasingly hos- itle. Previously they had been re- ceptive to suggestions for peace, but not recently. * * * ANOTHER DISTURBING part of Mr. Dulles' report was that Rus- sians are organizing Moslem troops behind the Iron Curtain appar- ently to send so-called "volunteers" in to help the Arabs, just as Chinese "volunteers" swarmed all over Korea. Dulles said the State. Department is watching this very closely. The Secretary of State seemed loath to reveal just what plans the Eisenhower Administration had, if any, to deal with the worsening crisis. He stated flatly, however, that the President is prepared to intervene in' the Near East, and made it clear that he wouldn't necessarily ask Congress in ad- vance. He would ask for Congres- sional approval, Dulles said, if he had time. "But," added the Secretary of State, "if a serious crisis develops suddenly and he hasn't time to seek Congressional authorization, he will, of course, take any steps that are necessary under his own powers to stop an all-out war. The president has the power under the Constitution. to intervene," Dulles declared. "After all, there are Am- erican citizens in that area who must be protected."

Within a one-inch square, one can clearly see four shades of blue, four shades of green, two pinks, brown, yellow, orange, and grey-each hue at its most vibrant and most intense. The rich twinkling mood of sun- rise or sunset is well-conveyed, the composition of the picture, how- ever, cannot in itself retain the interest of the spectator. A MORE INTENSE impression is- created by the additive effect* than, by that of subtraction of mixing the colors before applying them to the canvas. In Black Har- bor, Grey Moon, Elof Wedin, using the subtractive method, paints a subtler harbor scene. Wedin's handling of pastel oils here is en- joyable; they are extremely opaque in places and in others are applied quite transparently. Edward Cowley's I n d u s t r i a l Scene is reminiscent of Leger's The City. Portions look quite realistic, and houses, telephone poles and streets are easily discerned; while other parts appear more unreal and machine-like. If this be in. dustry, this is a new way of rep- resenting it. The blues make it quite peaceful, the whites are clean and pure. The cubist geo- metrical patterns are not ex- tremely cleancut as in most- in- dustrial landscapes. -Linda Goodman Movie Guide "C A R O U S E L", Rogers and Hammerstein's musical play; with Gordon MacRae, Shirley Jones, Barbara Ruick and Cameron Mit-# chell; ". . . entertaining and in- teresting . . . has its faults, but its delights come frequently enough to bring new excitement to the near- ly-defunct musical screen."

Do you follow fads and fashion, try to keep up with the Joneses? The following questions, sug- gested by one of the nation's fore- most psychiatrists, may help give you a little insight on yourself. The psychiatrist points .out, how- ever, that the queries merely scratch the surface and the an- swers are only as revealing as their honesty. Answer yes or no. 1. If you plan to buy a car will you choose one with a two-color paint job? 2. Assume you are in the mar- ket for a new house. Are you mo" interested in a split-level than a traditional design? Do you feel a rumpus room is essential? A pic- ture window? 3. Do you belong to book clubs, subscribe to a collection of slick- paper magazines, own a Hi-Fi rec- ord player? 4. DO YOU play a snappy game of bridge or canasta? 5. If you are a woman, do you 10. Do you apologize for your liv-1 ing conditions, the number of bathrooms, the lack of a maid? Do you dream of the next house and that next raise? Answers: An individualist is one who cares not a whoop what his neighbors are doing. The conform- ist ls the one who follows, who feels conspicuous if not part of the herd. It takes a lot of courage these mass production days to be the out-of-step person. Of course, like everything else, individualism can be overdone. Just for fun, though, why not find out what your I.Q. is- Individualism quotient, we mean. Take 10 for each correct answer and figure anything under 70 as a sign you ought to do some soul searching. 1. No. The two-tone paint job has been a fad. The individualists already are back to one-color autos. 2. NO THESE items are exam- ples of packlaged thinking. How- ever, your individual living needs or pocketbook may determine what you get. It's your attitude 'that 7. No. Wine drinking isr't really an American custom. 8. Yes. Although it does seem old-fashioned right now. 9. No. That's a pretty superfi- cial way to go through life-and probably a boring one. 10. No. What are you afraid of? .{.
