No Presses
There will be no printing presses

than prrinter.
Its function is the selection of
manuscripts, and the distribution
of printed books rather than their
manufacture; whic his done else-
where.
The University has, of course,
a printing plant, now housed in
the "University Press" building
also on Maynard Street, which was
given to the University in 1932 by

AA High School
Hearing Scheduled
Next step in- the stalled nego-
tiations between city and Univer-
sity over sale of the Ann Arbor
High School will be taken Oct.
3 in the form of an open hearing
at city hall,
The University has offered for
$1,400.000 to convert the building
for usage as the romance lang-
'uage, social work, and other de-
partments of the literary college.
The University proposal would en-
conpass the closing of Thayer
Street between Washington and
Huron.
The city opposed the move to
close Thayer Street, claiming it
would further congest the already
tangled campus parking and traf-
fic conditions. The city is willing
to pass on the sale if the Uni-
versity will offer assurance that
Thayer Street will be re-opened if
need is acute. No action has been
taken as yet on the proposal..
New Credit Opera
Course Formed
An all-campus Opera Chorus
for credit is now being formed,
under the direction of Josef Blatt,
director of opera production.

hour of credit, will meet from 5 to

on Scholarly Publications which

cept manuscripts for publication

series; a Committee on Official
Publications . which handles Uni-
versity announcements; and an
Executive Committee.
The Press was established as
such in 1930 though the Univer-
sity has been issuing scholarly
publications since 1858 when it
published a set of astronomical
tables by the University's first
professor of astronomy.

Yom Kipur
Services Set
For Tontight
Sundown today begins Yom
Kipur, the holiest day of the Jew-
ish religious year.
Yom Kipur, the Day of- Atone-
ment, marks the tenth day after
the beginning of the Jewish New
Year, calculated according to a
lunar calendar.
Jewish lore place New Year's
day, Rosh Hashanah, as the day
on which God judges man. On
Yom Kipur the judgement is seal-
ed, but it is also the day when fdr-
giveness can be asked.
Ten Penentential Days
The ten days that pass between
Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kiper
have come to be known as the Ten
Penetential Days of the year. Tre
prayers during this period cul-
minate with the Kol Nidre evening
prayer that opens Yom Kipur.
The day of Atonement is un-
usual in the Jewish religious cal-
ender in that it embodies elements
ob both a fast and feast day.
Eating and drinking are prohib-
ited during the day as is custo-
mary on public fast days. How-
prevails, with ceremonies begin-
ever, a certain holiday mood also
ning on the evening before in the
tradition of festival days.
Campus Services
The Kol Nidre service will be
held 7 p.m. today in Rackham
Lecture Hall with Prof. William
Haber of the economics depart-
ment as the featured speaker.
Prof. Ronald Freedman of the;
sociology department will be the
cantor.
Conservative services will be
held 9 a.m. tomorrow in the
League Ballroom with P r o f.
Freedman as cantor. Reform ser-
vice will be held at 10 a.m. in;
Rackham Ampitheatre and will
include a choir under the direction
of Edward Glick, Grad.
Tomorrow and Tuesday, faculty
members and other employes of
the University will either accept or
reject Social Security coverage of
their jobs.
All participants of the Teachers'
Insurance Annuity Association or
the Michigan Employes' Retire-
ment Plan as of June 1, 1955, are
eligible to vote in the referendum
being conducted by the adminis-
tration.
Vote Necessary
Since the 1954 amendments to
the Federal Social Security Act
initiated coverage for state uni-
versities having their own separate
retirement systems, it is necessary
that a vote be taken to determine
if a majority of members of the
current University plans approve
of participation in Social Security.
An affirmative vote will mean
immediate entrance intq the plan
retroactive to Jan. 1, 1955, the date
for the start of extended coverage
under the 1954 amendments.
A negative vote will not affect3
the continuance of the current re-
tirement plans. If deemed advis-
able by the Regents, another vote
may be requested after a 12 month
period.
Eligible Majority
Administration officials warn
that failure to vote in the referen-
dum is actually a vote against
entrance into Social Security inas-
much as acceptance of the plan
,ails for a "yes" vote from a major-
ity ofthose eligible to vote, not
merely a majority of those voting.
If the plan is accepted, all em-
ployes of the University, excepting1
students and a limited number of
others, will be taxed through reg-
ular payroll deductions.
Taxing period will begin on Jan-
uary 1 of each year, and the rate
wlli be two percent on the first
$4,200 of the employee's salary, or
a maximum annual tax of $84.
Taxing retroactive to the first
of this year will assure greatest
possible coverage for both retire-
ment and insurance benefits.
Collections Made
Collection of back taxes, if the
plan is accepted, will be made in
equal installments from the em-
ployee's October, November and
December paychecks.
Social Security coverage offers
two kinds of benefits: retirement
payments and insurance.
Retirement benefits would accrue
after age 65 to the employee and/
or his spouse.
Insurance payment would be paid
to the employee's widow and his
children up to 18 years of age.
Approval Given
Approval of the extension of
Social Security was given by the
Regents after the State legislature
passed on the Federal amendments.
On approving the extension, the
Regents decided that it would be
advisable to continue the equities
of both current University retire-
ment plans. In event of a change
in Social Security tax rates, this
decision would be reviewed.
* Approximately 1,200 TIAA mem-
bers and 3,500 ERP members are
eligible to vote at one of the 29
polling places listed in the supple-
ment contained in today's Daily.
Lane Hall to Hold
Dancing. Sessions
Lane Hall will hold the first of
its traditional weekly folk dancing
get-togethers tomorrow from 7:30
to 10 p.m.
