Professor Defeats
Mayor by 808 Votes
By JAMES ELSMAN
and JOHN WEICHER
City politicos' jaws dropped last
night as Democrat Prof. Samuel
Eldersveld of-the political science
department toppled incumbent-
Mayor William Brown from his 12-
year reign in the mayor's office.
However, the GOP captured
eight of ten Council seats.
The professor garnered a total
vote of 6,077 to Brown's 5,269, a
margin of 808. Prof. Eldersveld
carried 53% of the total, winning
four of the five wards.
Prof. Eldersveld is the City's
first Democratic mayor since Ed-
ward J. Staebler served from 1927-
29. City Clerk Fred M. Looker said
the approximately 12,000 total
vote is a City record.
Republican Council members
winning a two-year term were
Florence R. Crane and Clan Craw-
ford Jr. of the second ward, Prof.
Charles W. Joiner of 'the Law
School and Frank Davis of the
third ward, Ronald E. Hinterman
and George A. Keebler of the
fourth ward and Carl A. Brauer Jr.
and Russell T. Burns of the fifth
ward.
In the first ward Democrats M.
Alicia Dwyer and Richard Den-
nard were victorious.
Write-in mayoralty candidate
Dominic DeVarti drew 90 votes.
t Voters approved a special elec-
tion ballot for the City to acquire
a bus line 5,994 to 4,146, but turned
}down by 5,471 to 3,406 a further
proposal to increase the property
tax rate to finance the operation
of the line. They also disapproved
a $150,000 bond issue to purchase
"the bus line, 4,580 to 2,849.
An annexation proposal con-
t cerning 193 acres in Pittsfield
Township passed, 5,892 to 3,240. A
one-half mill tax increase for one
year to construct an addition on
the County jail was approved, 4,748
to 4,338. '
Brown, who coon by 690 votes in
his last elecvon was sorrowful in
defeat: "I gave 12 years to the
City and I guess they didn't like
it."'
Prof. Eldersveld issued a victory
statement late last night: "I am
tremendously gratified that the
people of Ann Arbor have con-
ferred this honor upon me."
"I am aware of the size of the
job. I hope, with the support and
cooperation of all the people of
this community, to carry out the
clear instruction of the voters. I
believe that they want a new Phil-
osophy of government in Ann Ar-
bor; a government whose policies
are responsible and responsive to
"public opinion.
"I pledge myself to put into ac-
tion the principles and the speci-
fic proposals which I have put
before the people, and which they
have so clearly endorsed," he con-
cluded.
Political experts of both parties
thought the split-ticket voting
was an expression of a "time for
a change" philosophy toward the
mayoralty.

AMENDMENT:
IBrowtinell Presents Plan
Pro osed by Presidet
WASHINGTON (A') - Attorney General Herbert Brownell spelled
out for an apparently unconvinced Congress yesterday President
Dwight D. Eisenhower's plan of action in case a president became
disabled.
President Eisenhower's proposal calls for a constitutional amend-
ment to authorize the Vice-President to become temporary acting
President.
Brownell told a House Judiciary subcommittee it is "fortunate"
the constitutional amendment plan probably would not become effec-
tive during Pres. Eisenhower's own term of office, so it can be con-
May Quit;
Aid Not Cut
TEHERAN, Iran (/P)-Informed
sources said yesterday Premier
Hussein Ala will resign tomorrow
because of the murder of three
Americans in a desert bandits' am-
bush.
The State Department said yes-
terday no instructions have been
issued from here to suspend for-
eign aid activities in southeast
Iran because of the murder.
Clark S. Gregory, director of
the Point Four program in Iran,
announced earlier yesterday in
Tehran that aid projects in the
area of the killings had been sus-
pended.
Gregory said after an on-the-
spot investigation that he was not
satisfied with measures taken so
far to wipe out the bandits re-
sponsible for the killings.
Troops and police pursued into
mountain country close. to the
Pakistan border a legendary ban-
dit leader and his men, sought as
the killers.
The exact number of men with'
bandit leader Dadshah was not
known, but theywere reported be-
ing whittled down in runaway
fights with pursuers. A price of
$10,000 was put on the head of;
each bandit, dead or alive.

Houck Wins
Panhel Post
By DIANE FRASER
Marilyn Houck, '58Ph, was an-
nounced as new Panhellenic Asso-
ciation president at Installation
Night last night.
"I can't organize a thought in
my head," Miss Houck, a member
of Alpha Xi Delta, remarked
amidst. the excitement of the eve-
ning.
Reflecting on future plans, she
said, "I hope to strengthen and
expand Panhel in the coming
year."
Miss Houck believes that house
officers meetings to discuss ideas
and problems will result in more
unity between individual sorority
houses. These meetings would be
on the order of the present meet-
ings of pledge trainers from the
various houses.
. Future plans include a list of
people from each house who are
interested in working with Panhel,
sidered "solely from the long-range1
point of view.''
But Chairman Emanuel Celler
(D-NY) said the subject probably
would not even be under considera-
tion if it had not been for Presi-
dent Eisenhower's illnesses. He said
Congress should act quickly, simp-
ly passing a law on the subject.
Brownell said he could not agree
with Rep. Celler that there is a
"current emergency" so grave that
the country could not wait for a
constitutional amendment to be
considered by the states.
Brownell, frequently emphasiz-
ing that he was speaking for the
President, spent the morning
largely replying to objections that
have been made against the two
main features of the Eisenhower
proposal.
and this will be re-emphasized
from time to time, as necessary.
"2. The Egyptian regulations
against infiltration, which include
penalties, are being again put into
force. The role of UNEF in assist-
ing in the prevention of infiltra-
tion will .be made clearly known
to the population of the Gaza
Strip by appropriate authorities."
Israel Barred
Egypt bars Israel's ships from
the Suez Canal on the grounds
that the two nations still are at,
war.
Under the 1888 convention for
freedom of navigation in the ca-l
nal, Egypt could legally bar an
enemy from the waterway.
In Suez. Egypt, a 1,592 - ton
freighter, said by its agents to
be a British ship, reportedly plans
to pass through the Suez Canal
today. It arrived at the Red Sea
entrance to the waterway last
night.

PERSONAL INTEGRITY:
Honor Systems Vary in Form, Scope
(Ed. Note - This is the first of a
series of three stories dealing with
honor systems at higher educational
institutions.)
By RICHARD TAUB
An honor system is something
difficult to define.
Basically, it is a way of life
built upon the principles of per-
sonal integrity. Wherever an hon-
or system is in effect, it is assumed
students are honest and can be
trusted to uphold certain regula-I
tions without external supervis-1
ion.
Honor systems apply to a great
many phases of college life. In
some schools they reach into the
social sphere. Students enforce
their own rules about drinking,
smoking in rooms, signing out and
other phases of school conduct.
Applies to Testing
But wherever an honor system
of any form does exist, it will
usually apply to the way in which
examinations are given. At some
schools, this mns only non-proc-E
not given or received aid on this
examination."
Some schools, as the University
medical school, also require "I
have seen no one give or receive
aid on this examination" to be
signed. Failure to report someone
violating the code is considered
"tantamount to cheating."
Report for Cheating
For most schools, however, the
second statement is implicit in
the first. For many, honor sys-
tems stand or fall on whether stu-,
dents are willing to "turn in"
somebody else for cheating.
Some small colleges require a,
pledge to be signed only upon en-
tering the school.
There is dispute about the value
of pledges Some people maintain
if a student will cheat, he won't
hesitate to sign a pledge. Those in
favor of the pledge often agree
with this, but claim the pledges
help to remind the students of the
system at all times.
Where pledges are required, pa-.
