LANSING ('M - Impassioned
oratory yesterday marked defea
of a move to force a :House vote
;.on a bill to put new teeth into
Michigan's civil rights law.
Rep, Louis C. Cramton; who at
82 Is the oldest member of the
lower chamber, bucked his Repub-
lican colleagues, in a fight remi-
,.iscent of his successful efforts
three years ago to push through
a bill setting up the Fair Employ-
ment Practices Commission.
This time he failed.
Lawmakers shouted and argued
for half an hour before Republi-
cans voted down a proposal to pull
the bill from the House State Af-
fairs Committee, which shelved
it last week.
Its author, speaker George M.
Van Peursem (R-Zeeland), led
q the move to kill it for good. He
said he did it in respect for the
committee system under which all
4-bills are first considered before
being rejected or reported to the
House floor for a vote of the full
members hip.
Later,' three Republicans who
sided with Cramton and the 46
voting Democrats on the issue,
returned to the GOP fold to turn
, down a similar move to relieve
the committee of further consid-
eration of Gov. G. Mennen W-
" ams' civil rights bill.
.Both measures would have
broadened powers of the Fair Em-
ployment Practices Commission
to include discrimination in pub-
lic housing, restaurants, hotels
and schools.
Williams' version also included

housing and would have banned
discrimination by real estate

'U' CALENDAR STUDY:
Committee Still Gathers,
Information for Report
By RICHARD TAUB
University President Harlan Hatcher's Calendar Study Committee
is still in the process of amassing information on Calendar programs,
according to secretary of the committee James D. Shortt of the Uni-
versity' Relations Office.
The committee hopes to have a report ready on general calendar-
ing principles shortly after spring vacation, Shortt said.
The report would be placed before the students and the faculty
to get reactions, Shortt continued. It would be educational both for
the University community and for the committee, as it learns how
people react to the ideas, Shortt said.
Two Interviews a Week
Right now the committee is still holding two interviews a week
with faculty and administration members, and compiling informa-
tion gathered from requests to 1,300 schools and colleges concerning
their calendar programs.
It is also looking into the requirements of various accrediting
agencies to see what they demand in amount of time spent for dif-
ferent courses.
After the statement of general calendaring principles are placed
before the Campus community, Shortt said, and it has had time to
react, the committee will begin to set-up a workable calendar program.
Better Facilities Utilization
One long-range goal -of the group is greater utilization of current
University facilities. One approach to this might be through an
academic program for the entire year.
A faculty committee at Michigan State University has recently
recommended approval of a full quarter system which would enable
students to take a full load during the summer and then receive a four
year degree in three years.

Study -Group
By JAMES SEDER
A motion passed last night by
Inter-House Council recommended
that a committee be esatblished by
Vice-President for Student Affairs
James A. Lewis to investigate the
continuance of co - educational
housing on the main campus.'
The motion cited the "apparent
success and student support of
present co-educational housing"
and the "administration's accept-
ance of the concept of co-educa-
tional housing on the North Cam-
pus."
It recommended that the com-
mittee include one representative
each from the Dean of Men's of-
fice, the Dean of Women's office,
Assembly Association and the
Inter-House Council.h
Designate Chairman
A representative from the ad-;
ministration, "preferably familiar
with the physical facilities of the
Residence' Halls," would serve as
chairman.
The motion passed at the pre-
ceding IHC Presidium that the
residence halls have "open-open
houses" every Sunday afternoon
was referred to the executive com-
mittee of the Residence Halls.
This group will either act on the
matter itself or refer it to the
Board of Governors of Residence
Halls for action.
Discuss Color TV
The question of color television
sets in the individual houses or in
the quadrangles was also discussed.
The presidents said that the
initial cost and the repair of the
sets were two main drawbacks to
the idea.
The Business Office of the
Residence Halls bears part. of the
cost of the repairs of the black-
and-white sets. The cost of re-
pairs on color sets is likely to be
considerably more.

MSU EXPERT:
Lab or Laws
To Increase,
WitteSays
Legislation in the field of labor-
management relations is likely to
increase, Prof. Edwin E. Witte of
Michigan State University said
yesterday.
Prof. Witte, opening the Uni-_
versity's -two-day Industrial Re-
lations Conference, said passage
of restrictive measures aimed at
labor unions is ,quite possible, but
added that strong attempts to
counteract these measures must
be expected.'
In the event unions cpnsider
new labor laws .:unf air, he ex-
plained, "look for a determined
effort to get It repealed, or more
smartly, a. strong campaign to
place further restrictions on in-
dustry and management.
Prof. Witte also applied this
cycle to the realm of government
intervention in industrial rela-
tions. "So long as the parties seek
to align governmiejnt on their side,
government , intervention will
grow," he. said. "Advantages
gined by one side invite efforts
by the other to offset them by

to tie Michigan State as the 48th

before a near-capacity crowd at
the Iowa pool.
The two teams are tied for first
place with seven points, followed
by Indiana with four, Illinois with

for the first six places.
State Star Wins
Michigan State's Bill Steuart

18:40.5 to win the 1500-meters, but
Woolley stayed within reach of
the Spartan swimmer for the en-
tire distance, to take an all-im-
portant second place with a time
of 18:50.
Fries swam the fastest time of
his career, 19:16.1, and finished
fifth, thus guaranteeing a tie for
Michigan.
Third place went to John Parks
of Indiana and fourth place to
Illinois' Lorin Whittaker. The race
between Parks and Whittaker was
the most exciting of the evening
as the two swimmers finished in
a virtual dead heat.
First Heat Slow
The "1500" was run in two trial
heats with place winners awarded
on a time basis. The winner of the
first heat, Richard Kennady of
Indiana had a slower time than
did Iowa's Earl Ellis, who finished

GRAND RAPIDS-Plans are go-

President Harlan Hatcher told
an alumni meeting here yesterday
the University "will continue to
work closely with the Grand Rap-

interested groups"' to meet the
educational needs of the Western
Michigan area.
However, he added "it would be
premature . . . to announce any

The University's interest in the
Grand Rapids area was revealed
last May when the Board of
Regents authorized President
Hatcher to begin steps toward
purchasing Calvin College and
establishing a medical school
there.
Last week Michigan State Uni-
versity took a major step toward
establishment of a four - year
branch college near the city.
The State Board of Agriculture,

Rayburn firmly backed the
stand taken by Rep. Harris (D-
Ark.), chairman of the House sub-
committee on Legislative Over-
sight, that a House group has no
business inviting senators to testi-

"We're not going to ask them

voluntarily," Rep. Rayburn said.
"If a Senate committee asked me1
to go over there I would tell them
to go dig potatoes deep."

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE:
IFC Starts Scholarship;
Fines Two Fraternities
By PHILIP MUNCK
Two fraternity houses were fined and a scholarship fund was
established last night by the Executive Committee of the Interfra-
ternity Council.
Phi Delta Theta was fined $50 with $25 suspended for holding a
dinner during the first week of rushing this spring.
IFC regulations prohibit this and allow a maximum penalty of a
$500 fine and denial of rushing privileges to be assessed.
The fine was small, Mal Cumming, '58, IFC executive vice presi-
dent, explained, because the fraternity admitted the dinner and
pleaded ignorance of the regula---
tion. The committee also fined
Sigma Nu for initiating a man'
who was carrying less .than 11
credit hours in the University. The J
fine was $25 with $10,suspended.B
IFC regulations required a man
to be carrying at least 11 hours at
the time of his initiation.

LESS THAN 40 PER CENT GRADUATE :

Sputnik Focuses Attention on Colleges,

By RONALD KOTULAI
Launching of Sputnik I focused attention on America's higher edu-
cation institutions and has produced the fear that too many students
are dropping out of college.
Figures compiled by the United States Office of Education, which
tend to support this belief, indicate that fewer than 40 per cent of
college students graduate from institutions where they originally en-
rolled.
A special study of the University trend conducted by Edward G.
Groesbeck, Director of Registration and Records, shows, however,
that 65 per cent of the freshmen
entering in 1958-59 have graduat- per cent of students who graduate

* The main reasons for male col-
lege student dropouts across the
nation, the Office of Education
report shows, is due to perform-
ance of military obligations, per-

of interest in studies.
At the University, the most fre-

quit, Groesbeck said, centers
around financial problems.,
