LXVII, No. 136 I - S P Accreditation Criticized by Jesuit 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. See HOLLAND, page 3 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 See 'U' OFFICIALS, page 3 Up Fate to '4 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. STUDENT EXCHANGE: Eckstein, Baad To Travel to Russia of world News Roundup 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 for certain." s s " HAVANA - A yacht load of Cu- ban rebels from Mexico has land- ed on the southern coast of Pinar Del Rio Province and, under army ." harassment, scattered into the nearby mountains.

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. the House floor," she insisted. Reports 'Descend' "I had left my seat and was leaving the capitol building when I started to cry," she explained. "A flock of reporters descended on Democrats bit deeply into the 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. n brt N7- "was that the committee should1 not hold all its hearings behind closed doors.

More than that, however, Mrs. Stone believes in "individual lib- erties." Her greatest regret is "the The amendment passed by the narrow margin of 56 to 44. In the voting, 13 Republicans crossed party lines to vote for the educa- tion increase while five Democrats and three Republicans did not vote. Rep. Arnell Engstrom (R-Grand Traverse), chairman of the House Ways and Means C o m m i t t e e, sharply c r i t i c i z e d the move. "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.
