By JAMES ELSMAN No ether issue has been beleaguered with as much constant con- troversy among students, faculty, and administrators during the University's existence than its policy on outside speakers. Again, this year the Bylaws of the Regents and the policy of the Committee on University Lectures will be subject to critical scru- tiny. Student Government Council has appointed a study committee in this area.

Individual Regents have sympathized with some criti- cisms. 102 Years Old It is one thing to know the ad- ministrative paternalism which supervises the campus' diet of out- side speakers today. It is yet an- other thing to understand how and from whence it came. This history might be titled 'The Evo- lution of Intellectual Bondage' as d- regards speaker selection on this 'ocampus. ort One hundred and two years ago yad the speaker program began. In )d 1854, the Student's Lecture Asso- ic ciation was formed-completely student run. Back then, speakers brought to campus by the Associa- ted tion filled such an intellectual void ne that lecture halls were filled an ng hour before time. be- Many Subjects Discussed Topics ran the gamut from mor- al philosophy to political and so- cial issues. Louis Agassiz lectured of on "The Plan of the Animal Cre- rg- ation", Theodore Tilton and Hor- ify ace Greeley on Southern recon- ees struction and Ann E. Dickinson on n- woman's suffrage. The issues of act those Civil War days were heard m- in an environment of freedom. Students ran the show. ed Students Maintain Control ch But there appeared portents of ice things to come. Partisan factional ch. strfie broke out within the Asso- ng ciation over what speakers to ter bring to campus. In 1875 the As- sociation went in the red for the [e- first time. Still the administration an observed laissez-faire. ter All in all, any one writing at the iid turn of the century could brag d- about the state of free discussion nd at Ann Arbor. Presidents Benja- min Harrison and Grover Cleve- land spoke here. Political issues ho were the order of the day. In 1908, ,nd the lecture board advertised that ks- there were to be no "cut and dried" e- entertainment lectures. The era of See CHANGE, Page 6 World News Roundup By The Associated Press WASHINGTON - Yugoslavia's Marshal Tito must give a satis- factory explanation of his confi- dential talks with Russian leaders before he can get promised Ameri- can jet warplanes. President Dwight D. Eisenhower made this clear last night in auth- orizing only limited military aid to Yugoslavia "until the situation can be more accurately appraised dur- ing the days to come." President Eisenhower specifical- ly banned delivery, for the present at least, of more than 200 Ameri- can Sabre Jet and Thunderjet fighters, previously earmarked for Yugoslavia along with howitzers, tanks and other heavy military equipment. * * *-. MOSCOW - Soviet Communist party Chief Nikita Khrushchev said yesterday his nation has had a good year, both in farm produc- tion and foreign policy abroad. Khrushchev disclosed that the Soviet Communist party Central Committee will meet late in the year. The committee is expected to discuss what Khrushchev and Yugoslav President Tito talked about in their Belgrade and Cri- mean conferences. OKLAHOMA CITY-F o r m e r Oklahoma Gov. William H. "Al- falfa Bill" Murray, 86, died quietly yesterday ending a stormy and colorful life. Gruff and frank, the mustachi- oed "Alfalfa Bill" was a prominent figure in both state and national politics during his four-year term, as governor. RICHMOND, VA.-Former U.S. tax chief T. Coleman Andrews last night accepted the Presidential nomination of an independent conservative coalition. He offered the third party as a place of refuge for disenchanted Democrats and Republicans and said the election of either Presi- dent Dwight D. Eisenhower or Ad- lai Stevenson would mean a con- tinuation of socialistic govern- ment. Khrushchevdeclined to discuss the. Suez question. Anasta Mikoyan, deputy premi- er, talked more freely on the Suez question. "It is now clear that military measures are unlikely to be used in settling the Suez problem and that negotiations have taken their place," he said. He said that all countries should have access to the canal. Results In Tomorrow By PETER ECKSTEIN The results of an extensive sur- vey of the political opinions of University students will be pub- lished in tomorrow's Daily. The poll is the result of several weeks interviewing by Daily staff members of approximately 250 students whose names were chosen at random from the files of the Student Directory. The population from which the sample was drawn was limited to United States citizens living in Ann Arbor and enrolled in one of the University's schools and col- leges. Willing to Help Interviews were conducted by telephone. Interviewers reported that students contacted were al- most invariably willing to co-op- erate and express opinions on the 21 questions asked. The survey covered in addition to preference in the Presidential election, Nov. 6, student interest in the current campaign and opin- ions on the Vice-Presidential can- didates, President Dwight D. Eis- enhower's health, and broad do- mestic and foreign issues. In ad- dition, candidate preference is be- ing correlated with sex, school, age groupings, and stand on issues. Not A Prediction The poll results are in no way intended to be a prediction of the Nov. 6 election. The population studied - University students - is highly select geographically, eco- nomically, educationally and in age. The group studied is much younger, more confined to the Middle West, of generally higher economic status and of higher ed- ucational background than would be any national sample. The results, however, should be a reasonably reliable indicator of political thinking among American students on the University campus. Considered Valid Some results, especially when breakdowns are detailed, will not be statistically foolproof. Others, however-including pref- erence in the Presidential contest -include a large enough portion of the student population to be considered valid within any nar- gin of error to which the sampling process might be subject. 'DO-NOTHING'ADMINISTRATION Cobo Hits Williams On Cooperation BY ALLAN STLLWAGON Republican gubernatorial candidate Albert E. Cobo last night labeled Governor William's administration "eight years of cooperation with no one.". Speaking at a Cobo-for-Governor rally in Ann Arbor High School's plush auditorium, the Mayor of Detroit contrasted his administration with that of G. Mennen Williams by citing examplesoo nso of Detroit city hall cooperation, atd Lansing "non-cooperation." '~: Municipal Projects Pointing with pride at the list of municipal projects recently completed by the city of Detroit, Cobo asserted that the Civic Center, I the expressway system, and the expanded water supply system were the direct result of his administration's use of citizens and business "representatives to plan projects and solve problems. "For 17 years in the City of Student Poll Detroit, serving as deputy treas-; Says Work-Aid InV1tes Dece1 Claims Financial Aid To Athletes Reaches Staggering Proportions CHICAGO UP)-A critical self-appraisal of Western Conference athletics, charging that the work-aid problem for athletes is "an invitation to hyprocrisy and deceit," was released yesterday by the Big Ten. The 24-page report also found financial help to athletes has reached "staggering proportions." The strongly worded analysis of the trends of recruiting and financial aid was drafted by a conference committee set up on Dec. 9, 1955, "to study the over-all problems and position of the conference in the conduct of intercollegiate athletics." The report, secret until now, was sent to Big Ten presidents, athletic directors and faculty rep- urer, treasurer, and director of finance," Cobo said, "I wondered again and again why we radn't accomplished anything.' Clear Answer "The answer was clear: there were no citizens working for us." Today in Detroit, he continued, there are over three hundred citi- zens working for the city on com- mittees and commissions, without pay. "As a rezult, in the past six years and nine months not one project has been voted down. Each one has received the apt oval cf committees, the Common Council and the Mayor." Cobo attacked what he claimed was Gov. William's "policy of criti- cism." Can't Criticize "A man can't criticize another as long as he is busy accomplish- ing something himself," he said. "A governor of a state would have no time to criticize the ac- tions of any section of that state if he was accomplishing anything himself." "A government of a clique is running the State of Michigan to- day," Cobo said, "It is running the state against the wishes of the people it is supposed to represent." "Governor Williams ,has said 'Cobo talks about roads, look at Detroit, there they've built 14 miles of expressway, when they need 200,"' the candidate continued. Needed by 1980 "But what he did not say was that Detroit needs 200 miles of these expressways by 1980." "Besides," he said, "If Detroit had 200 miles of expressways, it wouldn't have a place to live. "I've spent nine weeks driving around the state, but you certainly don't need that long to see that we don't have adIequate roads," Cobo continued. "But what has the governor done about it? If he does believe in highways, why doesn't he sell the $146,000,000 in bonds approved by the legislature?" Not Supported People Cobo also criticized Gov. Wil- liams' handling of the state's natural gas problem, asserting that he had not supported the people when they attempted to increase the natural gas flow which would increase jobs and encourage indus- trial expansion. "The basis of all Detroit's ac- complishment," he said, "is coop- eration and a willingness to work with other people." "This is what is needed desper- ately at the state level," he con- cluded. "The government of .the state is today at the same point as Detroit was when I took office in 1949." ALBERT E. COBO ... Speaks at Dinner Ike Announces New Speech In California WASHINGTON (P) - President Dwight D. Eisenhower stepped up his campaign Monday with- an- nouncement of a major speech in Los Angeles Friday night. He also issued an appeal to the people to listen to and judge the Republican record. He said he was proud of it, and will be happy to leave the result of the Nov. 6 election to the "honest judgment" of the people. President Eisenhower's visit to California will follow his previous- ly scheduled four days of cam- paigning in the Northwest, where he will fly today. He won California's 32 electoral votes with ease in 1952 but this year there has been some GOP concern over the state. The Demo- crats are well organized and there is an 800,000 Democratic majority in registered voters. President Eisenhower's public appeal was in a first of a series of short telecasts which the Republi- cans have lined up for the three weeks left before election. The program is called "Your Government and You." The talks will be filmed in advance and will run five minutes. There will be 33 in all. Bowles Will Speak Friday Chester Bowles, former ambas- sador to India and former governor of Connecticut, will be the principal speaker at the Sec- ond Congressional Democratic din- ner on Friday, October 19 at 7 p.m. in the Michigan Union ballroom. Bowles will discuss the impor- tance of India and the Near East in America's foreign policy, putting particular stress on India's posi- tion in the Suez Canal crisis. Tickets for the dinner can be obtained from the Washtenaw County Democratic committee, local Democratic headquarters, David Marlin or William Peer, presidents of Students for Steven- son and Young Democrats respec- tively. University students who wish to hear Bowles but not attend the dinner may do so. The admission charge will be 50 cents. Student tickets for the dinner are $5 for singles and $6.50 for couples. Bowles was the first U.S. am- bassador to India when that coun- try attained independence and has written several books on the inter- national situation, the last being resentatives. (Contacted late last night Uni- versity President Harlan Hatcher and University Big Ten Represen- tative Professor Marcus Plant of the Law School both said they had not yet received the report.) Crisler Participates It was mapped by Big Ten Com- missioner Kenneth L. Wilson; Asst. Commissioner Bill Reed; H. O. Fritz Crisler, University athletic director; Leslie W. Scott, Michigan State faculty representative; erne C. Freeman, Purdue faculty repre- sentative, and Ivy Williamson, Wisconsin athletic director. The report criticized the "offer system." It said "there is an un- derlying dilemma in the adminis- tration of financial assistance to athletes in the Big Ten." "Each conference school," the report stated, "is on a definite 'offer' basis, meaning that the re- cruitment activity . . . is accom-' panied by the tender of financial assistance, promised work and-or scholarships. "The scope of financial subsidies to conference athletes, earned and unearned scholarships, has in- creased in staggering proportions in the past decade. Bent or Tortured "The literal requirements of the performed, are being bent if not work-aid rule that pay be for work tortured, to accommodate a basis for offers of aid in fixed amounts The report also set forth: "The work-aid program has developed purposefully as a subsidization de- vice under the 'offer system' and limitations upon unearned aid ... As such it is an invitation to hypo- crisy and deceit unless. there is complete insistence upon full work for compensation received, and there is not." If the present trends of recruit- ing and payment continue, the special committee projected a pic- ture of Big Ten athletics 10 or 15 years from now. Functional Arrangement Here is a . condensed version: "The Big Ten may well form a functional arrangement in the na- ture of a farm system with organ- ized professional sports. "The distinction between inter- collegiate sports and professional sports will become so invisible that public support will shift to the latter because its caliber of compe- tition and spectacle does not suffer from even the limited inhibitions upon intercollegiate sports, and the resulting financial chaos will force abandonment of the inter- collegiate program. "All students engaged in inter- collegiate athletics will be care- fully screened, selected and vigor- ously recruited to represent the school, on the basis of terms ar- rived at in bargaining between coach and prospect or his agent. 'Nest Egg' "Financial aid will exceed mere educational expense and will be sufficient to maintain a high stan- dard of living while in college residence or provide a 'nest egg' for a career after competition is completed. "Discontinuance of non-revenue1 Adlai Scores Defeatism On H-Bomb CHICAGO ()-Adlai Stevenson assailed President Dwight D. Eisenhower's H-bomb views yes- terday, saying a world in grave danger cannot afford a "defeatist" approach and "we cannot brush the hydrogen bomb under the rug." r The Democratic Presidential nominee pledged that if he is elected he will go anywhere and confer with anyone - obviously, he had the Russians in mind - if there is hope of "fruitful" talks to end H-bomb tests. Whether he so intended or not, Stevenson's declaration had some- thing of the flavor of President Eisenhower's promise in the 1952 campaign to go to Korea. Unmeasured Damage Joined by two Democratic sena- tors in this major campaign ad- dress, Stevenson said he would "count it about the first order of business" in the White House to get together with Russia and Bri- tain on banning further explosions of nuclear super-weapons. He said the tests "may cause the human race unmeasured dam- age." "What are we waiting for?" he demanded in his nationwide radio and television speech. Sen. Clin- ton Anderson of New Mexico, chairman of the Senate-House Atomic Energy Committee, was the first to speak after Stevenson. He backed the candidate's stand completely. "You .have not overstated the case and you have not endangered national security," he said. Sen. Stuart M. Symington then took part in the panel-type dis- cussion. The Missouri senator, who heads an armed forces sub- committee investigating air forces strength, said it is the administra- tion which has posed a. threat .to security - not Stevenson or oth- er Democrats. Symington repeated his frequent contention that the administration has failed to match the Russians in air power. "The issue," Stevenson said, "is mankind's survival, and man should debate it, fully, open- hide an earthquake. Negative Criticism "Because there has been only negative criticism of this proposal from the Republican candidates in this campaign, I want to return to it tonight. "First, the H-bomb is already so powerful that a single bomb could destroy the largest city in the world. "Second, the testing of an H- bomb anywhere can be quickly detected. You can't hide the ex- plosion anymore than you can hide an earthquake. "Third, these tests themselves may cause the human race un- measured damage." Munch Concert One Hundred Students Join SGC's Administrative Wing After a short course in SGC history, one hundred new tryouts joined the ranks of the Student Government yesterday at the first meeting of SGC's administrative wing. After a greeting by SGC President Bill Adams, 57 BAd., students heard several speeches outlining SGC structure and functions of Student 'Government at the University. Janet Neary, '58, SGC Vice-President, standing before a large blue and yellow chart of SGC officers and committees told the stu- dents, "You are that chart, the people who make the structure and functions of the SGC a reality." After Miss Neary had introduced the committee heads under which the new tryouts would work, Scott Chrysler, '59 E., told the new mem- bers the two phase orientation pr6gram they would pass through. Chrysler, Orientation Director for SGC, said that the tryouts' first assignment would be getting to know the different committees. Attending a committee meeting will be the tryout's way of seeing how the work of SGC gets done. In the second phase, tryouts will attend an SGC Council meeting to see how committee work is brought before the Council for final evalu- ation and decision. As described by SGC President UNANIMOUS ACTION: East Ann Arbor Annex Approved By BILL HANEY .Annexation of East Ann Arbor received unanimous approval from Ann Arbor CityCouncil last night. The final decision on whether or not to take in the 655 acre city will be expressed in a referendum vote by Ann Arbor city residents Nov. 6. The rare proposal for one city to annex another entire city was initiated by petition of East Ann Arbor citizens two months ago. Logical and Desirable joint committee prior to Council. approval, citied as one of the most important reasons in favor of the annexation "The exceedingly dif- ferent and complex problems which arise when a single metro- politan area is split into inde- pendent governmental units." Benefitting Owners The proposal provides for cost of public improvements to be borne by benefitting property own- ers. At current prices total cost of improvements of desirable ation of East Ann Arbor 50 per cent., Property To Be Reassesed If the electorate decided on an- nexation property in East Ann Ar- bor will be re-assessed and the valuation will be raised ten per cent to $18.05, Ann Arbor's current level. This would mean an increase of $25,000 to $35,000 general prop- erty taxes and would also entitle Ann Arbor to State-collected taxes based upon the East Ann Arbor 1950 census. I I I .
