Wolverine Swimmers Trail by One Relay Victory Paces OSU to 43-42 Lead By CARL RISEMAN Ohio State's victory in the 400- yd. freestyle relay last night push- ed the Buckeyes into a slim 43-42 lead over Michigan's defending titlists as the NCAA swim cham- pionships reached the half way point at the Varsity Exhibition Pool. The surprising Buckeyes, after gaining most of" their previous points from a double diving victory by Don,#warper, camne from behind to take the final event of the eve- ning.- The relay victory enabled OSU to pick up 14 points on the Wolverines who didn't enter a team in the race. Yale is running third with 30 points at the halfway mark. The rest of the teams stand as follows: Michigan State 28; Iowa 18; Southern Methodist 11; Illinois 10; Oklahoma 9; Northwestern 7; Wis- consin 5; Harvard 5; Indiana 5; Miami 4; Cal. State Poly. 4; North Carolina 4; Brown 3; Allegheny 3; Utah 3; Stanford 2; Connecticut 2; Cornell 1. Tony Tashnick has scored the lone Wolverine victory but Cy Hopkins, Dick Hanley, Dick Kim- ball and John Smith have added points to the Michigan total. Tashnick faced his chief rival, Yale's Tim Jecko, in the 200-yd. butterfly and literally swam the defending NCAA champion out of ;. the pool. Jecko and Tashnick spurted ahead of the rest of the field and were close for 150 yards. However, the smooth powerful strokes of the Michigan sophomore proved too much for the Eli as Tashnick won the race by two lengths and estab- lished a new NCAA record of 2:04.2. The former mark was 1:09.5, established last year by Jecko. Jecko also lost another, of the three championships he gained in the 1957 meet as Joe Hunsaker of Illinois took the 200-yd. individual medley. Hopkins placed second and swam one of the finest races in his career as he came from fifth place at the end of 100 yards to edge past a tired Jecko and almost See TASHNICK, Page 2 World News Roundup By The Associated Press WASHINGTON - The Eisen- hower administration yesterday recommended a 100-million-dollar appropriation to help pay off some owners of war-seized German as- sets and settle all American war claims against Germany and, Japan.

Michigan, Qualif ies Third in Gm Mee By PAUL BORMAN .x Special to The Daily IOWA CITY - By capturing six firsts in seven qualifying events, and the top two places in the final all-around competition, defend- ing champion Illinois took a commanding lead in the 50th Big Ten gymnastics meet at the Iowa Fieldhouse Gymnasium. The Illini, seeking their ninth straight title, were paced by Olympian Abe Grossfeld, who took a first in the all-around competi- tion and four firsts in the qualifying round. Bob Diamond and Frank Hailand captured the other two Illinois qualifying firsts. Diamond SPRING TERM: Number Enrolled On Rise By BARTON HUTHWAITE Non-Michigan residents com- prise approximately 40 per cent of the 25,661 students now en- rolled in University credit pro- grams, according to Office of Reg- istration and Records Director Edward Groesbeck. A five-week spring enrollment report revealed 21,756 students now attend classes at the Univer- sity's Ann Arborpcampus - 728 higher than the previous spring period. Off-campus registrations totaled 3,905 with 391 students enrolled at the University's Flint College branch and 3,514 others taking credit courses at University cen- ters throughout the state. Enrollments High Horace H. Rackham School of Graduate Studies enrollments, in- cluding the Ann Arbor campus and other centers, reached a high of 5,342. The figure represents an 8.3 per bent increase over last spring's mark of 4,932. University male students still outnumber women by a two to one margin. On-campus records listed 14,749 men and 7,007 women, ac- cording to Groesbeck. The female enrollment jumped 312 but failed to meet the male increase of 416 over last spring. Seven Per Cent Increase The engineering school registra- tion records showed 3,002 students- enrolled-a 7.6 per cent rise. The literary college enrollments also jumped three per cent to bring the total enrollment to 6,754. The largest decrease in students came in hospital training with a 26.1. drop. Groesbeck termed this "not very significant" due to the fact that only 23 students were enrolled in the credit program previously. Some Decreases Other significant decreases in- cluded: College of Architecture and Design-573 students enrolled, a 4.5 per cent decrease; College ofj Pharmacy-149 students enrolled, a' decrease of eight per cent; School of Medicine-1,203 students enrolled, a decrease of 3.7 per cent; and Law School-794 stu- dents enrolled, a decrease of 7.5 per cent. Significant increases included: School of Education-874 enrolled, an increase of 3.1 per cent; School of Natural Resources -176 en- rolled, an increase of 6.7 per cent; and School of Social Work-164 students enrolled, an increase of 25.2 per cent. W. C. Handy' Dies at 84 NEW YORK (R) - W. C. Handy,, composer of the immortal "St. Louis Blues," did yesterday, at the age of 84. He was the man who shaped the rhythm of the Negro race into1 America's syncopated tempo of the blues. Handy was blind during the lat-, ter years of his life. Three years1 ago a stroke confined him tb af wheel chair. Defeated House Told Fast Action Necessary WASHINGTON (P - Fast ac- tion to meet "an immediate and urgent need" for unemployment benefits was urged on a critical House committee yesterday' by Secretary of Labor James P. Mitchell. Mitchell, opening witness at a Ways and Means Committee hear- ing on President Dwight D. Eisen- hower's proposal for temporarily extending the duration of jobless benefit payments, ran into ex- tended questioning by both Demo- cratic and Republican members. The labor secretary said the number of unemployed reaching the end of their benefits is ex- pected to show a sharp upturn this month. He placed the number at 147,000 in January and 145,500 in Febru- ary, and said the March figure is expected to total 187,500. For the entire year, he estimated the total will be 2,300,000. Mitchell said the administra- tion's program for limited exten- sion of benefits under existing state systems "will take care of the major part" of the current un- employment problem. President Eisenhower has pro- posed advancing federal funds to finance a 50 per cent increase in the number of weeks unemployed workers covered by jobless insur- ance could draw benefits. This would mean an additional 13 weeks in states having a126-week benefit period, for example. Rep. J. W. Byrnes (R-Wis.) voiced reluctance to embark the government on an emergency pro- gram, saying that once started "they're very seldom terminated." Mitchell agreed that, "Certainly we run that risk, but I don't think' that should be the reason for not doing something now." Spending Plan Gets Approval 'also took a second in the all- around competition. Behind the Illini, a fierce fight for second place arose between Iowa, Michigan and Michigan State. The team scoring based on the all-around event, had the Illini comfortably in front with 25 points. The Hawkeyes were second with 15, while Michigan and Michigan State tied for third with eight. Sophomores Nino Marion and Wolfgang Dozauer gave Michigan See ILLINI, page 2 Panhel Okays New Sorority Panhellenic Association passed a motion Thursday to accept and support a group of women at- tempting to form a new sorority on campus. Carol Shapiro, '60, president of the group' of approximately 30 women, said that they had written to the national Phi Sigma Sigma, whose membership Is "predomi- nantly Jewish," abouf reactivation on this campus. Phi Sigma Sigma was active at the University until late in the 1930's when it went inactive be- cause of financial reasons. If this group decides to affiliate with the sorority, it would go active after its constitution had been approved by Student Gov- ernment Council and the sorority's national convention. SGC Checks Illegal Voting In Election Charges Students Put Extra Ballots in Box By RICHARD TAUB Students had access to extra ballots in the All-Campus elections? Tuesday and Wednesday. One girl who manned a polling booth reports that people who were voting tried to stick extra ballots in the ballot boxes as they passed, and also attempted, to hand her+ two ballots placed on top of each+ other to pass for one . However, she did not try to stop' it, because the ballots were not punched and were therefore in- vplid. Booths Unattended Extra ballots could be picked up at unmannedpolling booths. One poll tender reports that he had signed up to work at the Engine Arch table until 11:30 a.m. When7 nobody came to relieve him, he stayed until 12 noon, but had to leave for lunch, because he was1 assigned to another booth at 12:30 p.m. He left the booth unattended.f Some booths were left unattend- ed Tuesday night at 5 p.m. Poll tenders left the tables before the1 elections director had come aroundj to pick up the ballots and boxes. East Engine ballot box was1 manned Tuesday almost exclu- sively by members of four fra- ternities, all of whom had mem- bers running for some position. Thirteen out of the fifteen people who signed in at this box were members of one of these groups, according to the poll sign up sheet. Stuffing Reported Wednesday, the percentage on this box was almost as high. This is the box, where one poll tender reported ballot stuffing for Dennis Roy, '59, who was running for literary class president. Wednesday, The Daily received an anonymous phone call from a poll tender who said he worked at a booth where the other tenders agreed to permit each individual to insert extra ballots for the per- son whom he was backing. Thet caller said it was just like "logl rolling. " At the East Engineering booth1 two names of graduate studentst were signed to the sign up sheet,t although the students say they did not man any booths. Roger Mahey, '61, polls director,1 reported Thursday that the master ballot talley sheet for the elections disappeared Tuesday night. Thisl sheet lists what numbered ballotsI went to which booths. Mahey said1 that he did not want to say the sheet was stolen, but he empha-t sized that it was not lost.f CLOSE VOTE CAST: SGC Rejects Proposal For City Integration Student Government Council yesterday rejected a motion asking the Ann Arbor City Council to consider legislation prohibiting dis- crimination in rented housing. Candidates for SGC officers were also announced. SGC Adminis- trative Vice-President Maynard Goldman, '59, will run for president. SGC Treasurer Scott Chrysler, '59BAd, and Dan Belin, '59, plan to run for executive vice-president. No members offered to run for administrative vice-president or treasurer. The vote on the housing resolution was eight to seven, with one, abstention. Assembly Association President Marge Brake, '58, said the Council would be encouraging gov- ernment interference in a private -UTb concern, which might be unconsti -II tutional. The Council could be undermining one of the basic foundations of a democratic sys-A tem, she said, by urging such legis- o lation.

The problem of discrimina- tion by landlords exists and should be dealt with. SGC Executive Vice-President Ron Shorr, '58, told the Comncil the membership restriction com- mittee has been working in two areas. He listed these as determining progress in the removal of bias clauses in national fraternities and sororities and seeking reports of progress or friction in colleges where minority group members' have pledged houses.

The suggested figure in the bill com- pares with a $19,881,947 appro- priation this year and $37,746,855 a year ago. Reports Distributed Sen. Elmer R. Porter (R-Bliss- field), chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, in- troduced the bill and at the same time distributed financial reports on the University and Michigan State University. He charged that both schools had a large holdover of money after the fiscal year that ended last June 30. "MSU showed $2,209,705 in the general fund holdover on June 30, 1956 and $2,267,758 last June 30," Sen. Porter said. "But the total research and ex- tension fund balance unspent had grown from $751,328 in June 1956 to $1,253,537. Balance Grew "The University had a balance of $2,164,037 in June 1956 which grew to $2,273,857 by last June. "I think that is a lot of money to carry over since the State col- See Related Story, Page 4 leges don't have any carry-over at all and any unspent appropria- tion reverts to the State General Fund," he said. As constitutional bodies, MSU and the University do not have to return unspent funds to, the State. Defend Action University Vice-President in Charge of Business and Finance Wilbur K. Pierpont has defended the unexpended balance as a prudent operating practice." He said carrying over such amounts is a "normal business practice and in no way represents a cash bal- ance available to meet next year's expenditures." Legislators have indicated the funds could be used to balance proposed cuts in the University's 1958-59 operating budget. Sen.

ENDS SERIES OF FIVE LECTURES: Dean Rostow Calls Boom Years 'Invigorating' By MURRAY FEIWELL Characterizing the last 12 to 13 boom years as "invigorating," Dean Eugene V. Rostow ended his series of five lectures yesterday by calling the boom "a vindication of full employment." The Yale University Law School head said, "The forces making for a leveling down are strong but the forces making for a leveling up are even stronger." Finishing on a note of optimism, the guest lecturer for the ninth private action "is blurred and has always been blurred." Goal Stipulated Stipulating that it was the goal of the Employment Act of 1946 to achieve full employment without inflation, Dean Rostow criticized government action saying the pol- icy of the control of money has been "too restrictive." "We should enlarge our output and through imaginative govern- ment action eliminate waste," Rostow added. ~,X-2.~'XU'.__________________________________________ l7 ,
