Students Over-Ex ansion S University s Present, Future Behaviour Discussed Conference Decides All Must Cooperate To Solve Problems By RENE'GNAM Tempers flared as students, ad- ministration and faculty members revealed their feelings at yester- day's student conduct discussion at the Student-Faculty-Admini- stration Conference. Although the main thought con- cluding the meeting was that all involved should cooperate to solve d'rinking problems at the Univer- sity, the essence of the debating was expressed in several heated discussions. Prof. James B. George, of the law school and member of Re- gents' subcommittee on discipline, 4 repeatedly emphasized that the state legislature is supreme and not accountable to students, 'Must Follpw Law' Students must follow law, he said, and any attempt to refute drinking laws would be pointless. Assistant Dean of Men John Bingley lashed out against drink- ing practices at the University. "Honoraries on this campus are a disgrace," Dean Bingley said. "Every male honorary on this cam- pus has a blast each year." Dean Bingley felt such practices "are a disgrace to the University , and that includes the students, faculty and the administration alike. Concerned About Individuals' Discussing drinking by frater- nity men, Prof. Axel Marin, of the engineering school, and a disci- pline subcommittee member, said, "We're not concerned about the offense committed, but about the individual." Prof. Marin queried Tim Leedy, '57, president of Inter-Fraternity Council, as to drinking cases in- volving individual fraternity men. "Responsibility in this area is not ours," Leedy replied. Drinking Legislation Dean of Women Deborah bacon asked Leedy with whom does AFC cooperate in relation to drinking 't egislation. Leedy explained that IFC only judges matters of immediate con- cern to the fraternity system; such matters include rushing and pledge pranks. It does not attempt to rule on the drinking problem, he added. All conferees urged cooperation among the three University levels represented and stressed need for a well-conducted education pro- gram on problems of drinking. Traekmen Win, 78-54, Over Indiana BY JOHN'HILLYER Class usually tells, and it told yesterday afternoon on Ferry Field's cinderpaths as Michigan's Big Ten track titans romped to an easy 78-54 conquest of one of their top Conference rivals, Indiana. Although vastly short of their true potential, the Wolverines still managed to cop or share eight firsts, also making their great team depth pay off for valuable scoring points in the runner-up {spots. Absent from the potent cast of Michigan performers were Mark Booth, who probably would have been the best high-jumper on the field, and Ron Kramer, shot-put- ter and discus man, who devoted his attentions to a neighboring battle-field of a different nature. Booth is suffering from an Ac- hilles tendon which was promptly, labeled "nothing to worry about" by Coach Don Canham. It would be difficult to pick a single standout from yesterday's action, the thinclads' last in Ann Arbor this season. Several stars shone in the two team's arrays. For Michigan, however, Captain Ron Wallingford battled the wind- swept backstretch to trek to easy Charges Aired New Coed Dorm Not Expected For 5 Years; Remodeling Seen By ALLAN STILLWAGON The present and near future dominated yest6rday's Student- Faculty-Administration Conference consideration of University ex- pansion. Students repeatedly guided the discussion to problems they felt threatened the present effectiveness of the University. Charges of present over-expansion and of inadequate housing shadowed long- range plans for North Campus development or out-state branch es- tablishment. Jim Elsman, '58, pointed to the University's expected doubling of enrollment during the next 15 years, and questioned the availability - - - - - World News Roundup By The Associated Press Soil Bank. .

The nationalists countered with a daring raid into the heart Hof theJ city of Constantine., of adequate student housing in the immediate future. Francis Shiel, Manager of Ser- vice Enterprises, then confirmed the belief that the new coed dorm could not be expected for more than 5 years. He revealed also that "next fall it will again be necessary to re- model more residence halls. More singles will have to become doubles, more doubles, triples." He admitted the Administra- tion's hopes of attracting private capital to the housing problem were not likely to be very success- ful. "Building costs in Ann Ar- bor are 25 per cent higher than elsewhere," he said, "and private corporations cannot make their investments pay." Signs of Relief Shiel cited the coming women's residence on Washington Heights, North Campus married students apartments and local housing proj- ects which are leaving Ann Arbor housing open to students as signs of relief. Director of University Relations Arthur L. Brandon, and John Mc- Evan, Assistant to Vice-President Wilbur Pierpont, explained feat- ures of the University's 5-year Capital Outlay Plan, which out-, lines proposed expansion. U' Student Government Reviewed Admissions Policy, Calendar Debated By CAROL PRINS The student's role in campus is- sues such as the University calen- dar and admission policy were discusses in the student govern- ment phase of the Student-Fac- ulty-Administration Conference yesterday. Anne Woodard, '57, pointed out that there was almost 100 per cent student dissatisfaction with the new University calendar. Prof. Lionel Laing of the politi- cal science department stated that the majority of the faculty were of the same opinion as the students on the recent calendar change. He said that almost no faculty members knew anything about the proposed change in calendar and disapproved of the proposed modi- fications. Dean of Men Walter B. Rea said that student-administratipn con- ferences were held to study the calendar and very few students showed an interest in the changes. . He pointed out that here stu- dent government council could facilitate communication among faculty, students and administra- tion. Student's Role The question of the student's role in deternmining admission pol- icy was also brought up. Most conferees felt that the admission policy was a function of the Uni- versity adiinistration and should remain as such. Tom Sawyer, '58, added that the students.should have something to say about the housing situation re- sulting from increased enrollment. The main issues in admission pol- icy are large out of state enroll- ment and extensive foreign student population on campus.I "Student government is useful but it is not absolutely necessary," said Prof. W Earl Britton of the engineering English department. In.response to him Sawyer point- ed out that the value of the stu- dent government lies in its repre- sentative nature, its function as a student voice and its educational value. Bill Adams, '57BAd, added that another need for student gov- ernment lies in its nature as a formalized acceptance of student responsibility. Prof. Britton questioned the need of student government as an expression of student opinion, ask- ing "is there a student opinion at the University?" Dean of Women Deborah Bacon replied ",you would be hard pressed to find a student opinion-the people couldn't care less. The only time they have an opinion is a crisis situation" Playing In Little Garden Dean Bacon pointed out that often student action consisted of "playing in a little garden," with- out realizing the larger forces to which SGC is responsible, such as the state and the Regents. She said that all too often student government disintegrates into a debating society in which no action is taken. hgan Legislature * * Okao-wkys U' Capital Bill - i -Daily-Peter Song STUDENTS, FACULTY, ADMINISTRATION-Members of the three major divisions of the campus community met yesterday to discuss problems of mutual concern.

"The Legislature is faced with a limited amount of funds and pres- sure from other interests. Michi- gan State, for example, is a tra- ditional rival for appropriations." McEvans admitted the Univer- sity would probably not meet their projected "five-year plan" quotas in that time, but said, "We cer- tainly don't expect that it will take 10 years .. . six maybe." Present Problems First Don Young, '58, criticized what he felt was present over-expansion. "I think the University should solve its present problems of over- crowding before it considers ex- pansion," he said. "It should not proceed into the future until to- day's inadequate student-faculty ratio is adjusted." Young also at- tacked overcrowded residence halls, claiming they lowered the quality of education being offered. Assistant Dean of Women Elsie Fuller said studies indicated there was no correlation between poor scholarship and crowded housing conditions. "We consistently re- ceive more objections w h e n reconverting triples to doubles and singles, than when creating triples," she said, By The Associated Press FLINT, Mich - Death-dealing, home-wrecking tornadoes bom- barded much of southern Michigan late yesterday. More than a dozen struck in the populous industrial and resi- dential areas. At least six persons were killed and more than 125 injured. Ike'S Health Called 'Good'; Heart Healed WASHINGTON W)-A beaming President Dwight D. Eisenhower got a doctors' report yesterday that his heart is "well healed" and his general health good. He promptly took off for the golf course by way of celebration. A report issued after two days of head-to-toe tests at Walter Reed Hospital 'said the President "has shown good tolerance to in- creasing physical activity" over the six months since his discharge from Fitzsimmons Hospital in Den- ver. It was there that he was treated for the coronary throm- bosis he suffered Sept. 24. The chief executive was describ- ed as "physically active and men- tally alert." Two of the dead were from a single family in Flint, where a ter- rifying twister killed three as it bounced along a seven-mile path through the eastern outskirts. An elderly woman was killed near Ithaca, 30 miles northwest of Flint, when a, barn toppled on her. One death -was reported in Grand Blanc, a Flint suburb. 80 Injured in Flint Flint counted at least 80 injured. At Hubbardston, about 15 miles northeast of Ionia, two were re- ported dead, but twisters sighted in the Frankenmuth and Zilwau- kee areas near Saginaw apparently injured no one. The Detroit suburbs of Lincoln Park and Allen Park had more than a score hurt. A scattering of injuries also were reported else- where in southeastern Michigan. Windstorms and near-cloud- bursts appeared the general rule for areas unhit by twisters. Yesterday's tornadoes came only five weeks behind a series of twist- ers that killed 17 in western Michi- gan April 13. Flint, which was hit by three separate tornadoes, was bloodied and battered by the worst twister in Michigan history June 8, 1953, when 116 were killed. Western Michigan, which had been warned of tornadoes earlier in the day, apparently escaped ex- cept for heavy winds and some 10- cally high-powered gusts. Tor- nadoes began striking in the east almost simultaneously with the ex- tension of the alert to that area. 200 Homes Damaged Flint counted around 200 homes' down or damaged in the Dort Highway-Vassar Road region. State police estimated that dam- age or litter covered seven square' miles southeast of Flint. Three of the city's five radio stations (WT- AC, WFDF, WMRP) were knocked off the air, but the other two kept operating. East Grand Rapids got a short severe hailstorm, as did northern Flint, Dearborn, Dearborn Town- ship and Redford, the latter three Detroit suburbs. Flint virtually was isolated for several hours because of fallen telephone lines. Eight large cables were snapped there and 1,500 phones put out of order. Cables Knocked Out Four cables were knocked out in adjoining Lincoln Park and Allen Park and 800 phones silen- ced. Goodrich near Flint was entirely isolated. Neither Allen Park nor Lincoln Park reported any deaths, but Lin- coln Park said "from 12 up" were injured. Allen Park reported seven hurt, three seriously. In the Ithaca area where Mrs. Edwards was killed, four injuries were reported. One was her hus- band, Dan, in the barn with her and another man when it blew down. Edwards was hospitalized. The other man suffered only minor injuries. Fifty state highway policemen were dispatched to Flint and state police commissioner Joseph Childs sped there to take over. Governor G. Mennen Williams was en route and 40 national guardsmen were called to stand-by at the Flint Armory. The Red Cross set up emergency centers. Netters Down' Ohio State, 9- Special To The Daily COLUMBUS, O. - Michigan's tennis team showed true depth yes- terday as it blanked a weak Ohio State squad, 9-0. Playing without Mark Jaffe, who was unable to make the trip, the netters ran their seemingly invin- cible winning streak to 28 consecu- tiv matche. Onlv three teams- House Gives Construction Green Light Governor Williams Must Sign Into Law; Neihuss Satisfied By JIM ELSMAN Yesterday the State Legislature passed the University's 1956-57 capital-outlay bill and laid it on Governor G. Mennen Williams' desk to be signed into law. Final stamp of approval on the bill, which awarded the Univer- sity $8,190,000 of its $17,571,000 re- quest, was given by the House of Representatives 'toward noon yes- terday. Senate passage occurred twelve hours before, during a Friday night-Saturday morning marathon session. " Marvin L. Neihuss, University vice-president and dean of fac- ulties, said he "anticipated no trouble from Governor Williams." The $8,190,000 appropriation ex- ceeded by $696,500 Governor Wil- liams' recommendations to the State Legislature. It fell $9,381,- 000 short of the University's ori- ginal request. 'Making a Start' Neihuss admitted that the bill didn't provide enough money to prepare the University for in- creasing enrollments, but praised the Lansing legislators for "mak- ing a. start." Although disappointed o v e r failing to get planning money for three projects-school of educa- tion building, dental building, and an architecture structure - Nei- huss expressed the opinion that the Legislature had "done a good job for higher education." Neihuss revealed that the $8,- 190,000 figure was the largest ap- propriation the University has re- ceived for capital-outlay to date, but added, "Our five-year capital- outlay program certainly has been slowed down." Emergency, Session Action This capital - outlay program should be distinguished from the University's General Operations appropriations from the Legisla- ture. The latter was passed earlier this year and provides revenue for faculty salaries and other yearly expenses. The former provides funds for building expansion and upkeep expenses. Yesterday's action came while the Legislature was convened for an emergency session before ad- journing for the summer. Cyprus Hit ByLeaflets NICOSIA, Cyprus (/P)-A battle of leaflets-including an under- ground appeal for the "execution" of British Governor Sir John Harding-filled an otherwise omi- nous calm in this troubled city yesterday. An appeal pasted on walls about the city called the governor "Gau- leiter Sir John" and said "it is the duty of all Greeks" to execute him. The leaflet bore the signature of Dighenis, unidentified leader of the EOKA organization which seeks union of this crown colony with Greece. Dighenis is believed to be Colonel George.Griyas, for- mer Greek army officer. Giesekin Concert To Close Series THURSTON HOMERS IN SECOND GAME: 'M' Diamondmen Split With Purdue, 5-7 3-1 By JIM BAAD Weak pitching in the late in- nings of the first game and a two run homer in the second contest gave Michigan a split with Purdue, 5-7, 3-2, in yesterday's doublehead- er at Ferry Field. The home run, a tremendous 370 foot blast by Bill Thurston, was responsible for the winning margin in the second game. It came in the fifth inning. With the score tied at 1-1, Gene Snider led off the inning with a fly to centerfield. The next batter, Frank Ronan, drew a walk. Thurston Homers It was then that Thurston, in the line-up as a center fielder since Bruce Fox was pitching, got a hold of Boilermaker pitcher Royce With two out and the possible winning run ox1 base, Ron Teunis lined Fox's pitch into left center, but a fine running catch by Howie Tommelein crushed the Boiler- maker hopes. Purdue didn't threat- en again. Both teams scored once early in the game. Michigan got a run in its half of the first inning when Moby Benedict hit a high fly to left-center which freakishly fell between the outfielders. Each thought the other was going to take., Benedict advanced around on a wild pitch and deep grounder to short by Tommelein. Purdue then scored in the top of the second on two singles and a sacrifice. This was the only iun the mound. Starting pitcher Don Poloskey began the eighth with a 4-3 lead. He got the first batter out, but then gave up a single, a base on balls, and another single which tied up the ball game. Glenn Girardin took over at this point, He retired the side, but not until another run had crossed the plate due to an error by Behedict and another walk. Michigan made up the one run deficit in its half of the 'eighth. Bob Sealby led off with a single, but was thrown out stealing sec- ond. Snider popped to the first baseman, and then Frank Ronan E hit an infield single and took sec- ond on a wide throw to first. Thurston then came in to pinch hit for Girardin, and drove in Ronan with a Chinese liner to ::::::. _ s..:a..: . .
