Holland School May Be Dropped
For Lack of Vocational Courses
By RICHAD TAUB
Controversy over the accreditation of a Holland, Mich. high school
flared anew Friday when a Jesuit philosopher blasted the University
erroneously for its failure to approve the school.
The University has not yet dropped Holland Christian High School
from its accreditation list, although the North Central Association
of Schools aid Colleges which also accredits schools in the state
had done this in My, 1957, because the school did not have courses

Publication
Of Gargoyle
May Cease

By JOAN KAATZ
There is a strong possibility that
Gargoyle, the campus humor mag-
azine, will cease publication next
year due to a lack of people peti-
tioning for managerial positions,
according, to the current senior
editors.:
Presently Gargoyle has a small
working staff. There are three in-
terested people on the - business
staff and a lack of members on
the editorial staff. No one has
petitioned for positions for next
year.
Petitions for the position of
managing editor, business man-
ager, and art editor were due Ap-
ril 5. No extensions can be made
on the petitioning deadline until
the Board in Control of Student
Publications approves them, ac-
cording to Prof. John W. Reed of
the Law School, chairman of the
Board.
Prof. Reed expressed the per-
sonal feeling that as long as no
one has petitioned an extension
could be made if students showed
an interest in petitioning, "QuaV-
fied students shouldn't be dropped
on the basis of technicalities in
this situation," he commented.
Training for Gargoyle is usual-
ly handled by the business staff
and hence many of the trainees
remain on the business staff in-
stead of working on the editorial
staff, according to Jean Willough-
by, '59, managing editor of the
magazine.
Loal AA UP
To Consider
Suspensions
The local chapter of the Amer-
ican Association of University
Professors tonight will consider
recommendations of a special
committee on the+ recent AAUP
9 report concerning the summary
suspension of three University
faculty members and subsequent

41n industrial, arts or home eco-
nomics.
Father Francis C. Wade, assist-
ant director of philosophy at Mar-
quette University, ridiculed the
withdrawal of accreditation be-
cause the school refused to in-
corporate "frill" courses into its
curriculum.
Father Wade hit the practice of
providing courses in "how to drive
a car or cook a meal, instead of
trying to learn what life really
means.'-*
According to Prof. kent W.
Leach, director of the Bureau of
School Services, the University's
accrediting agency, accreditation
of the Holland School will be
considered later this month or
early in May.
Earlier in the year a team of
16 representatives from the Uni-
versity visited the school to study
its courses and curriculum.

House Gives
Bond Issue'
Approval
By DAVID TARR
Special to The Daily
LANSING-A $120 million bond
issue for new University and other
state building cleared the first of
three hurdles here last week.
Its chances on the next two are
anybody's guess.
The House by an 83-19 margin
approved Rep. George Sallade's
(R-Ann Arbor) proposal for gen-
eral obligation bonds. The plan
would earmark $75 million for
state colleges and universities.
It now goes to the Senate for
consideration where a two-thirds
favorable vote is required. If the
plan passes that test it will then
be placed on the November ballot
for approval of the voters.
Because the plan pledges the
faith and credit of the state of
Michigan, voter approval is re-
quired. The Legislature has al-
ready rejected several other bond-
ing pr6posalA that would not need
a vote of the people.
Sallade's plan has been re-
written three' times since it was
first introduced. It would also allot
$7,500,000 as a matchingfund for
junior college projects and $37,-
500,000 for mental hospitals, pri-
sons, welfare and other institu-
tions.
Sallade said he hoped the Senate
would take a favorable view of his
plan but did not express much
optimism. He indicated he would

SENATORS:
Congress,
TO Control,
Spending
WASHINGTON (M-Two promi-
nent senators served notice yester-
day Congress will hold fast to its
control over appropriations for
defense spending.
President Dwight D. Eisenhower
in his defense reorganization plan'
will have to recognize that as a
fact of life, Sens. Lyndon Johnson
(D-Tex.) and Styles Bridges (R-:
N.H.) agreed in separate state-'
ments.
Johnson, Democratic leader of
the Senate, gave his views in an
informal news conference.
"We ought to have a reorgani-
zation of the Defense Department
and I favor one. But I don't buy1
everything in the plan the Presi-
dent submitted," he said.
"Congress is not going to do
away with its appropriating
power."
Bridges, chairman of the Senate
Republican Policy Committee and
the senior GOP member of the
Armed Services and Appropria-
tions committees, made . his re-
marks in a transcribed radio inter-
view for Mutual Reporters' Round-
up.
"I am willing to streamline the
structure of the Defense Depart-
ment and simplify the lines of
communications," Bridges said.
Eisenhower sent up his reorgan-
ization plan April 3, just before
Congress went on spring vacation.

By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - The United States put pressure on Russia yes-
terday to stop insisting on cut-and-dried advance commitments and
start preparatory talks next Thursday for a possible summit confer-
ence.
The Thursday date for diplomatic exchanges in Moscow was'sug-
gested by Soviet Premier Khrushchev in notes last Friday to ' the
United States, Britain and France.
The three Allies were reported to have won approval for their
proposed reply at a Paris meeting of the Atlantic Pact council. Sec-
retary of State John Foster Dulles
declared in Washington that pre-
paratory talks "may get startedr
within a few days - I don't M rsnStwl

City Can't Tax
T' Real Estate,
Falirner Says
The city is prevented by state
law from levying taxes on Uni-
versity real-estate, even when the
property is leased to a private
concern.-
This opinion was delivered to
the Ann Arbor City Council by
City Attorney Jacob Fahrner last
Thursday, in regard to the sale
of -Christmas trees.
The opinion was given in re-
sponse to a query received by the
Council Dec. 30 from a local busi-
nessman. ,

Peter Eckstein, '58, Daily editor,
and David Baad, '56, former Daily
editor, will 1leave Thursday for'
Russia, a. trip sponsored by the
United States National Student
Association.
The two are among a group of
six student newspaper men do
participate in the cultural ex-
change program. A comparable
group of Russian student editors
is scheduled to arrive in this
country May 15.
The American students will
spend a month in Russia touring
the various universities and stu-
dent centers. The group has re-
quested the Russians to make ar-
rangements for the students to
remain in student residences and
to attend student lectures and
classes.
Before leaving the country the
student editors will attend an
orientation program at Cambridge,
Mass.
Visits to Moscow and Leningrad
are definitely included in the itin-
erary so far.
It is likely the trip will postpone
Eckstein's graduation until Sep-
tember. The students plan to re-
turn around May 21.,
Eckstein explained that he ap-
plied for the program last fafi
but did not hear from the NSA
until last week. It was hoped that
the trip could be scheduled around
spring vacation, but scheduling
difficulties with Russia delayed
the plans.
Before applying for the trip,
Eckstein attended the Interna-.
tional Student Relations seminar
in Cambridge.

Laughs over Crying 'Legend'

By SUSAN HOLTZER
The lady who burst into tears
in the Virginia House of Delegates
recently laughed as she recalled
the incident yesterday.
But she insisted that the current
desegregation battle in the Deep
South is no laughing matter.
Mrs. Kathryn Stone, delegate
from Arlington, said she wouldn't
even try to contradict the "legend"
of her crying spell. "Actually,
though, I did not really weep on.

leaving the capitol building when
I started to cry," she explained.

Republican majority on Ann Ar-
bor's City Council in the spring
elections April 7
Out of the five closely contested
seats, one in each ward, Democrats
gained two and retained a third.
They now hold five votes on the 11
member Council, which has been
predominately Republican for the
past several years.
Elected were: ward 1, incumbent
Democrat Richard Dennard over
Republican Harry Mial; ward 2,
Democrat Lloyd M. Ives over in-
eumbent Republican Clan Craw-
ford, Jr.; ward 3; incumbent Re-
publican James F. Brinkerhoff
over. Democrat Prof. Leonard 'K.
Eaton of the architecture school;
ward 4, Democrat Prof. A. Nelson
Dingle of the engineering college
oyer Republican John Reynolds;
ward 5, incumbent Republican
Russel Burns over Democrat Wes-
ton Vivian of the engineering col-
lege.
Elections were close in each
ward, with Ives upsetting Craw-
ford by a mere four votes. Early
plans by Crawford for a recount
were later rejected when a sus-
pected error in the second ward
tabulation was found not to be
present.
Dingle and Reynolds vied for a
seat vacated by Republican Ronald
Hinterman who did not seek re-
election.

"was that the committee should1
not hold all its hearings behind

is very much against the Virginia

narrow margin of 56 to 44. In the
voting, 13 Republicans crossed
party lines to vote for the educa-

and three Republicans did not

"These people (institutions of
higher education) have all the
money they need and with a little
economy they can get along," he
said.
Unchanged in Senate
The education bill came to the
House after passing unchanged
through the Senate. The senators
provided $30 million for Univer-
sity operations next year, a fig-
ure almost a million dollars un-
der the current appropriation.
University officials have said
many services and programs of the
school will have to be curtailed or
ended if such cuts are made.
Sallade's amendment would
bring the 1958-59 operating bud-
get up to this year's. The Univer-
sity had requested about $37 mil-
lion for next year.
