'U', City Open
New Fund Drive
By SUSAN KARTUS
"A message of importance to YOU.. ."
These are the words that launched the first Ann Arbor United
Fund Drive, a campaign that has set its goals at $306,210, 64 per cent
more than last year.
For the first time the Ann Arbor Comunity Chest, the Washtenaw
County Chapter of the American Red Cross and the Michigan United
Fund have united their efforts in a single drive. This year the citizens
give once for all. This is a movement' toward complete units of Ann
Arbor fund raising agencies.
Because the University constitutes a large proportion of.the livli-
hood of Ann Arbor, we are depended upon to contribute our share to
the campaign. Prof. Lee Worrell "

of the pharmacy department, who
is in charge in handling campus
solicitation, announced the quota
for the campus has been set at
$48,000.I
Although the campaign is half-
way over, only $6,000 1has been
collected thus far, compared to
the $28,700 procured last year in
the Community Chest drive.
All 8,500 faculty members and
University employees have been
asked to contribute. Because of the
great University expansion a new
system has been divised for solic-
iting.
The new plan consists of 100
unit chairmen, each in charge of
collecting from a particular seg-
ment of the University. Every per-
son on the payroll has received an
IBM card which offers him the
opportunity to make a contribu-
tion in one of three ways: payroll
deduction, a personal pledge or
cash.
Last year some people felt the
use of personal IBM cards was an
attempt to coerce a contribution.
Prof. Worrell claims no such action
is intended. "We must recognize
automation is the only way to ex-
pedite the attempt to give every
employee of the University an op-
portunity to help us meet our
quota," he explain.ed.
Students have been approached
through the University housing
Plane Crash
Kills Three
'Navy Men i
WASHINGTON (P) - The Navy
reported yesterday three men were
killed and five were injured in the
crash of one of seven planes fly-
ing to the antarctic from New Zea-
land.
Six other planes carrying ad-
vane units to McMurdo Sound for
a scientific operation landed safe-
ly, the Navy said. The seventh
crashed on the antarctic ice shelf.
A dispatch from New Zealand
reported a white-out blizzard, one
of the antarctic's worst features,
led to indefinite postponement of
a third flight of planes over the
2,250-mile route.
Read Admiral George Dufek,
commander of Operation Deep-
freeze, flew to McMurdo Sound
Wednesday. He sent back this
message Thursday: "Visibility zero.
Total white-out blizzard covering
runway and walking area. Do not
send any planes until further
word."
Reports from New Zealand said
six of the planes in yesterday's
flight barely reached the airstrip
before communications almost:
blanked out.

mitories are going to be approach-
ed in a similar manner.
This year Prof. Worrell is striv-

nity on campus has received a
letter requesting a contribution.

BAND DAY TOMORROW:
10,500 High School
Bandsren To Perform.
By RENE GNAM
Tomorrow is Band Day.
More than 10,500 bandsmen from 171 Michigan high schools will
crowd onto the gridiron during the half-time show of tomorrow's
Big Ten clash of the Wolverines and the Wildcats.
In addition to the mass band performance during half-time in-
termission, spectators will view Michigan Marching Band in one
of the most varied pre-game shows staged in Michigan Stadium.
After high-stepping from the tunnel onto the gridiron, marching
band will team up with the cheerleading squad in spelling out its

Crisler Says
Aid Report
NotBinding
Only .Appraisal;
Not Legislation
By STEVE HEILPERN
Associate Sports Edtior
A report on recruiting and fi-
nancial aid, released last Monday
by the Big Ten, is not to be con-
sidered a recommendation, accord-
ing to H. O. "Fritz" Crisler, Michi-
gan's athletic director.
Crisler, a member of the com-
mittee issuing the lengthy and
strongly worded report, told The
Daily yesterday the member in-
stitutions are under no obliga-
tion either to accept or to reject
the document's principles.
"The job of the committee was
to analyze the trends of recruiting
and financial aid in the Western
Conference," said Crisler.
"We did not ask that any legis-
lation be passed by the Big Ten
schools; we put our findings into
the hands of the members. It's up
to them. They can reject, accept
or ignore our findings."
If any legislation concerning aid
based on economic need is to result
from the report, it will probably
be during the Conference meeting
in December.
Crisler, who fully concurred
with the report, described it as "a
good self-appraisal" of Big Ten
athletic activities.
"There are two significant points
which should be considered," con-
tinued Crisler. "One, it is a very
searching, frank, harsh review of
Conference rules and their effec-
tiveness; and two, the report is a
projection of what can happen 10
years from now."
"This last point has confused
many people who have read news-
paper accounts of the report. The
'horrible' situations referred to are
not taking place now, but are
merely predictions of what can
happen in the future if nothing is
done."
Crisler, when asked how Michi-
gan would be affected by the 24-
page report, mentioned that no
schools in particular were named.
"We'll have to wait until some
legislation is passed before we can
discuss how our school is affected."
Some speculation was made as
whether or not University officials
would confer with Northwestern
University officials who will be
here this weekend for the Michi-
gan-Northwestern game.
However, University Athletic Ad-
ministrators did not comment up-
on the possibility of such confer-
ence's.

ing for 100 per cent student par-
ticipation. If this goal is achieved
it will be a big step toward the
University's proposal to units the
various student drives with the
Ann Arbor United Fund.
This suggestion was brought up
and approved last year, but it was
too late in the year to consolidate
them for this fall's drive.
Last year eight fraternities con-
tributed $125.22 six sororities gave
$52.47, while 11 dormitories con-
tributed $131.82. The grand total
for student participation was 25
contributions totaling $309.51.
The University campaign is not
aimed at the student, however, put
rather at the faculty and em-
ployees, who are citizens of the
city with civic responsibility.

Polish Reds
May Demand'

WARSAW, Poland (MP-Poland's
Communist Central Committee
was reported yesterday to be pre-
paring a demand that this coun-
try's relations with the Soviet Un-
ion be placed on a basis of full
independence.
The United Workers - Commu-
nist -- party Central Committee,~
meets in Warsaw today. The de-
cisions it makes could have his-
toric meaning for the future of
the whole East European Commu-
nist bloc.
Anti-Russian feeling in Poland
and an obvious need for a gigantic
rescue operation to save this coun-
try's sagging economy seem to dic-
tate the line the Central Commit-
tee will take.
Thus, responsible sources say, a
resolution will be drawn up close-
ly following the line of the Bel-
grade declaration in which the So-
viet and Yugoslav parties renewed
contacts on the basis of indepen-
dence.
Neither Secretary of State Sohn
Poster Dulles or other Cabinet of-
ficials would offer official com-
ment on the effects of the demand

Bowles will speak on current
policies toward India and the Mid-

During World War II he was
head of the Office of Price Stabili-
zation, and served as director of
economic stabilization in 1946.
He was elected governor of Con-

appointed Ambassador to India

First Community Chest

Drive Set for May

'57

.Campus Community Chest announced it wlil hold the first unified
charity drive in the Universtiy's history May 6 through May 11.
Working on the Community Chest principle, Chairman Don Mac-
Lennan said the drive wlil replace four separate yearly campaigns
usually held on the campus..
At the same meeting, a letter from the Woman's Athletic Asso-
ciation announced WAA will join the unified drive, giving Campus
Chest its portions of the proceeds from Michigras and Spring Weekend.
Only one charity organization, Galens, will not participate in the
Campus Chest's drive. Bob Kretszchmar, '57Med, president of Galens,

said it only remains for the Cam-<
pus Chest and Galens to decide on
how much of the Chest's proceeds
Galens will get.
Whether Galens will join is a1:-
most an academic question, as they
cannot expect SGC approval for
a separate bucket drive. At pres-
ent, the Galens have an offer of a
$7,000 guarantee and a percentage
of the proceeds if they will merge,

Davis Submits Blueprints
For International House
James Davis, International Center director, last week submitted a
plan for a new international house to the University Administration.
The proposed building would accomodate 1,000 selected American
and foreign students in apartment and residence hall types of housing.
Foreign student opinion on this project has been largely favor-
able. Bipir C. Desiafl, Grad., from India remarked that many in-
ternational students now live in "self-imposed segregation; Indians
with Indians and Turks with Turks."
Desai said the proposed International Center would give many
of these students "a chance to know people from other countries
"> including the United States in the
best way possible, by living with
them."
David Kaye, Grad., from Great
CJBritain, commented, "The present

' eign students in overpriced, unsat-

alleviate conditions.
Taking a somewhat different
view was Andy Chaudhry of Pakis-
tan who suggested the complete-
ness of the proposed project might
offer some foreign students an op-
portunity to avoid wider contact
with Americans.
Chaudhry said he believed thisj
effect might be lessened if some
system of rotation were utilized.
"In this way," he continued, "the
arriving foreign student might
have the advantages and security
of living in an international house
for a few months. Then he could
move out."

2,000 Police
Rushed to Town
BERLIN (P) - Communist East
Germany's secret police have been
ordered to quell slowdown strikes
that are gripping key factories,
Western sources reported yester-
day.
The League 'of Free Jurists-a
West Berlin anti-Communist or-
ganization with numerous contacts
in the East-said the secret police
have been sent into factories in
Madgeburg, a tense center of labor
unrest. Der Tag, an independent
West Berlin newspaper, said 2,000
police have been rushed into Mag-
deburg from East Berlin.
The newspaper said the strikes
have spread to factories in Erfurt
and Karl Marx City - formerly
Chemnitz. The newspaper and the
Free Jurists said the strikes re-
sulted from long-standing grie-
ances about low pay and high work
quotas.
These were the same issues
which sparked the East German
workers rebellion of June 17, 1953.
Acknowledge Unrest
The Communists themselves have
acknowledged that Magdeburg has
labor unrest, but have denied
strikes are taking place.
This acknowledgement was made
Tuesday, in the official labor
newspaperdTribuene. It said work-
ers at four Magdeburg factories
were angry about low pay and ex-
cessive work quotas.
A Communist party spokesman
in Magdeburg-reached by tele-
phone yesterday-denied the strike
reports.
Five Factories Strike
The Free Jurists said five big
Magdeburg factories have been
affected by the strikes. Two were
formerly owned by the giant
Krupp firm. One of the ex-Krupp
plants-now called.the Thaelmnann
works, after an East German Com-
munist leader-has been solidly
ringed by police, the Free Jurists
reported.
However, the Free Jurists said,
secret police have been sent into
all the factories, and Communist
functionaries are trying to nego-
tiate agreements with the workers.
Weekend Crisis
"It is generally expected," the
Free Jurists said, "that the crisis
-will come to a head during the
weekend."
The Free Jurists said its report
was based on information supplied
by residents of Magdeburg. So
far, it said, there have been no
reports of arrests or violence.
Magdeburg is 60 miles from Ber-
lin. Western reporters were denied
permission for a trip to the city.
