LXVII, No. 146 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, APRIL 26,1957 SIX PAGES 'U' Budget Boost r Called Possible Limited Enrollment, Tuition Rise, Or No Salary Increases May Result By MICHAEL KRAFT "Some indications" were seen that the University's operating budget might be slightly increased, Robert N. Cross, University Ad- ministrative Assistant said in Lansing yesterday. . The bill reaches the Senate floor today after being referred last week back to the Senate Appropriations Compiittee for further dis- cussion. In a meeting with committee members late Wednesday night, University officials declared the recommended appropriation of $29,- 131,000 would force the University to either limit enrollment, raise student fees 47 per cent, or refuse salary increases to faculty members. Cutting the University's request from $34,121,458, of the recom- mended budget "leaves us with Jordan King .Establishes INew Control AMMAN, Jordan (RP)-King Hus sein, fighting for his throne, im posed military law on imperillei Jordan yesterday in a series o dramatic moves against his ene mies inside and outside the coun try. The. embattled young K i n named a new government, clamp ed a curfew on the nation's maii cities as a safeguard against riot ing, and abolished the country' 10 political parties. The 21-year-old monarch blast ed Egyptian propaganda and inter national communism alike as th sources of his nation's troubles. Summit Conference Less than two months ago Hus sein participated in an Arab "sum mit" conference with Egypt's Pres ident Gamal Nasser, as an ally ii the cause of Arab nationalism. Yesterday he told Egypt to leave this country alone. With swift strokes, Hussein held down th'e threat of burgeoning chaos. Evidently he felt the time for compromise with his enemies was over. Jordan's future was in the bal- ance, and the crisis had ominous meaning for peace in the strate- gically iniportant Middle East. No Outside Help Statements of British and Amer- ican support in effect were an in- vitation to Hussein to call for help to save his crown. But he said Jordan does not want outside help The United States, repeating its support for the independence and integrity of this country of 1' million people, ordered its 6th Fleet back to eastern Mediterra- nean waters, where it patrolled during the Suez fighting last fall Britain, supporting the Ameri- can position, consulted w i t h France and allies of the Baghdad Pact. Iraqi troops were reported mov- ing up to the frontier. Saudi Arab- ian forces in the southern part of Jordan are under orders to aid Hussein where necessary. New Students' Orientation Plans Shaping Plans for a summer orientation program are taking shape, ac- cording to Barry Shapiro, '59, a member of the Student Govern- ment Council orientation com- mittee. Under the program students who wish to will be invited to vis- it the University during the sum- mer to carry out the administra- tive tasks of orientations. These include ID card pictures, x-rays, counseling and registration. The student will visit the Uni- versity for two and one half day periods. Those who are unable to visit the University during the sum- mer will arrive at school when registration begins to carry out the same tasks of administration. Then all freshman will arrive at school for two days of social orientation. This period will be utilized for social functions and to give students an opportunity to learn about the University, its several serious alternatives, one of °which would be holding enroll- ment stable," Hatcher said. - Marvin L. Niehuss, University Vice-President and Dean of Fac- ulties told the committee that if $32 million were granted, the Uni- versity "could get along with a 25 to 30 per cent student fee in- crease, but this would mean very little in the way of new activities except salary increases." Salary Increases - Hatcher pointed out that "if d salary increases are granted, there f will be no money left for increas- - ing enrollment." - University officials had pre- viously told the Legislature that g a salary increase of 10 per cent - was necessary to keep pace with n the cost of living, and provide for - merit raises. s But even holding enrollment to the present 22,000 students in- - stead of expanding to next fall's - expected 24,100 would require the e University to raise student fees 35 per cent, Niehuss said at Wed- nesday's meeting. - Increases Necessary - President Harlan Hatcher yes- - terday called both enrollment and n salary increases "very necessary." 'We haven't faced the problem" e of which comes first, "but still hope that the Legislature will see d the inadequacy of the proposed g budget so we won't have to make e a choice," Hatcher said. s Describing the chances of an increase in the budget, Cross said - he noticed "no particular change s in attitude of committee members, - but there has been comment that there will be some improvement." Davis, Klinger s To Lead Talks ZAt Conference - James M. Davis and Robert B. I Klinger of the International Cen- ter will lead discussion groups at the Conference on International Educational Exchange Saturday. Davis, director of the Interna- tional Center, will head a section discussing research while Klinger's group will talk about government f regulations in the field of ex- change programs. Sponsored by the National Asso- ciation of Foreign Student Ad- visors, the conference will be held in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Theuconference is usually at- tended by about 200 foreign stu- dent advisors and other interested! persons, according to Davis. Held annually, the conference was first held in Ann Arbor in 1948. Next year's conference will also be in Ann Arbor, Davis said. In addition, student advisors, cultural attaches of some em- bassies and state department offi- cials will be at the conference, he added. U.S. Sixth 'Fleet Sent To Mideast Sen. Mansfield Sees Possible Major War WASHINGTON ()-The United States 6th Fleet steamed to the eastern Mediterranean yesterday in what officialsdescribed as a show of force intended to support the threatened government of Jor- dan. That description was supplied in private. Publicly, the State De- partment merely announced that the fleet was returning to its "normal place." But it said "in- ternational communism" threat- ens Jordan's independence. These two moves-one a fixing of blame, the other a flexing of muscles-had the appearance of the Eisenhower Middle East for- mula going into action. Fluid Situation But it seemed at this point, in a highly fluid situation, to be more apparent than real. Meantime, Sen. Michael Mans- field (D-Mont), a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Coi- mittee, said in a statement that the situation presents "all the in- gredients of a major war." "Events are building up toward a showdown in Jordan and it is quite possible that this country will become involved if events are not brought under control," he said. Sen. William Knowland (R- Calif), the Senate minority lead- er, described the Jordan develop- ments as serious. No Emergency Action But, talking to reporters after he and Mansfield had spent 40 minutes with Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, Knowland said no emergency action by the Ameri- can government is contemplated at this time. "Everyone in that area of the world," Knowland said, "would be well advised not to rock the boat." Acting as spokesman, Knowland said whether the American gov-' ernment aids Jordan under the new Eisenhower Mideast policy "depends on what conditions arise.'' "If there should be outside in- tervention by the Soviet Union, it most certainly would apply," he said. "It might apply under other circumstances too." Armed Aggression The Eisenhower formula, signed into law last March 9 gives the President fight-if-necessary power in the Middle East to oppose open Communist armed aggression. The five big "ifs" are: 1. If a threatened nation's pre- servation is judged vital to United States interest and world peace. 2. If the President determines United States military interven- tion is necessary. 3. If the victimized nation re- quests United States armed help. 4. If there is open armed ag- gression. 5. If the aggressor country is controlled by international com- munism. Speaker Dies At Union Talk Fred William Classon, 59 years old, collapsed and died yesterday afternoon in tke Union. Classon, a resident of Wyan- dotte, was speaking to University building officials at 3:45 p.m, when he collapsed. A resuscitator squad failed to revive him and he was pronounced dead by Dr. Charles E. Payne of Health Service at 41 p.m. To Continu Panlhel cti 'ABOMINATION' President Eisenhower Blasts Labor Rackets t TSCTold AUGUSTA, Ga. (M-)-President Dwight D. Eisenhower yesterday branded labor racketeering "an abomination which must be elimi- nated." He called for ousting leaders "who abuse power and trust." To help wipe out "corruption on the part of a few in the labor field, he urged Congress to pass laws to protect all union funds, in- cluding an estimated 25 billion dollars so far contributed to labor organization health and welfare programs. Legislative Enactment After a 90-minute conference with Secretary of Labor James -OMitchell, the President asked for swift enactment of legislation to require: 1. Registration, reports to the 0To Petition SGC e Fall Rushing; r Council Rule Schweitzer WASHINGTON (R) - Dr. Albert Schweitzer was assured by a mem- ber of the United States Atomic Energy Commission yesterday that "the risk from nuclear-bomb-test- ing at the present rate is small." Dr. Schweitzer, the famed hu- manitarian and Nobel Peace Prize winner for 1952, protested from his medical missionary post in French Equatorial Africa Tuesday against the dangers from radio- active fall-out. His message was read over theI Oslo radio. In a reply dated yesterday and released for immediate publica- tion, Dr. W. F. Libby, an AEC com- missioner, said: "I do not mean to say that there is no risk at all. What I should like to demonstrate to you is that the risk is extremely small com- pared with other risks which per- sons everywhere take as a normal part of their lives." President Acts On Oil Import WASHINGTON (- -President Dwight D. Eisenhower acted yes- terday to find out whether mount- ing oil imports are threatening the national security and whether mandatory curbs are necessary. He announced in Augusta, Ga., where he is working and playing golf, that an immediate investiga- tion would be made of the national defense angles of the situation, At the same time the President directed his defense mobilization chief, Gordon Gray, to renew ef- forts for a voluntary reduction of the flow of crude oil into this country. "If the finding and recommen- dations resulting from the investi- gation which I shall cause to be made result in my determining that an impairment of the na- tional security is in fact threat- ened," President Eisenhower said, "it will be important for me to know whether an adjustment of imports can be accomplished voluntarily, or whether other mea- sures may be necessary." As a defense measure, the gov-1 ernment could impose import quotas. It also has authority under certain conditions to raise the' tariff on crude and discourage im- government and public disclosure of complete data on all health and welfare funds. The administration already has a bill before Congress to provide for that. The bill provides for such re- porting and publication on man- agement as well as labor union funds of that kind. 2. Reporting the public disclo- sure of all other union financial' data-for example, dues collected, salaries of un-i n officials, and full treasury statements. Authorization The Labor Department gets such information at present, Mitchell said, but needs congressional au- thorization to make it public. "We are trying to help the American labor movement clean house in those areas where it needs to clean house," Mitchell said at a news conference after discussing the situation with President Eisen- hower at the President's vacation headquarters, the Augusta Na- tional Golf Club. In a prepared statement, Presi- dent Eisenhower said there should -Daily--John Hirtzei MICHIGAN FORENSIC FORUM - Prof. David Weimer (left) discusses America and Western civilization. WVeirner Calls America Part of Western Civilization By JAMES BERG The thesis that America is an integral part of Western civiliza- tion rather than an oasis of civilization in its own right was ad- vanced by David Weimer of the English department last night at a Michigan Forensics Forum discussion. "American society is a part of a civilization rooted in ideas that are pretty old," Weimer explained. He developed his argument by pointing out that many of the things commonly supposed to be peculiarly Ameri- can are in reality of foreign oni-, gin.

However, he maintained that we have added little of originality to Western philosophy or writing of history. "On the whole our contributions have not been large in the fine arts," he said. Architecture, Weimer added, is an exception. He asserted that Frank Lloyd Wright, "peculiarly American", has had great influ- ence in this field. Quorum Lack Prevents IHC Veep Election Inter-House Council members decided not to elect their admin- istrative vice-president yesterday as scheduled. IHC President Drake Duane, '58, later said the election would "probably take place next week." Council members, in other ac- tion, heard former Student Gov- ernment Council Treasurer Lew Engman, '57, request house pres- idents allow soliciting for the Campus Chest Drive on May 5. Engman said he "would sin- cerely appreciate any coopera- tion" in the matter. A discussion of the possibility of giving each house a rebate of $25 from the profits of the Ted Heath show was held. The motion was not voted upon when the lack of a quorum was noted. Members also heard a report by Executive Vice-President Bob Ashton, '58, on the food commit- tee. Ashton presented his report which suggested recommendations on the improving of communica- tions between residents and off i- cials. Y -. Of Conflicts In Calendar Officers Refuse To Discuss Rationale Before Wednesday By VERNON NAHRGANG Panhellenic Association's Board of Delegates voted yesterday to ask Student Government Council Wednesday for a continuation of fall rushing for sororities. SGC President Joe Collins, '58, said Panhel had informed him privately that conflicts with the student activities calendar and changes in the University calendar were the reasons for the decision, which would ask repeal of SGC's deferred rushing resolution. Panhel officers, however, refused to give The Daily any reasons for the proposal, pending the prepara- tion of a formal rationale, Council Asked Action P a n h e l Delegates - sorority house presidents- decided at the request of the executive council to petition for fall rushing. The vote took place in executive (closed) session. A house president who refused to be named said the vote was 19 to 1 with one absten- tion. The same house president said the vote was taken without the presentation of a rationale for the executive council request, but with the understanding that a rationale would be presented to Panhel Tuesday. SGC decided on March 14, 156, after lengthy debate, that sorority rushing would be held during the spring instead of fall beginning with the coming academic year, 1957-1958. Information Compiled Panhel President Marilyn Houck, '58Ph, said yesteday, "all of the information we have com- piled will be presented to SGC Wednesday." When asked reasons behind the decision, Miss Houck would only say that the entire matter would be revealed Wednesday. Collins said he had been notified Panhel would petition "due to the fact that it could not find a calen- dar suitable to the ruling laid down by SGC concerning spring rushing." Dianne Duncan, '58Ed, Panhel First Vice-President, also refused to indicate what any of the reasons were for the proposal. She would only say "we have known all along the increasing difficulties of calen- daring anything on this campus" Committee to Study She said the Research Commit. tee set up last spring to study ways of implementing SGC's deferred rushing decision at no time con- sidered a proposal to recommend a continuation of fall rushing. She refused also to say at what time such a proposal was first con- sidered by the organization, say- ing that hasty and possibly un- favorable inferences might be drawn from any statement as to the timing of Panhel's delibera- tions. Some "deep thinking" went into the proposals, she said. She would not say who had done the back- ground preparation, only that the proposal was "an action contem- plated by the Panhellenic Associa- tion." It was not, however, brought to the attention of the Research Committee.- Thtt group did, she said, come up with "the best possible spring calendar," one which was discussed sometime during yesterday's meeting.
