PAINFUL, UNPLEASANT:
MSU Plans Spending Cut

EAST LANSING (P)-An' austerity budget, described as "painful
and unpleasant," was outlined by John A. Hannah, -Michigan State
University president yesterday.
The State Board of Agriculture, MSU governing body, approved
the budget which calls for an across-the-board slash in spending,
curtailed enrollments and no salary raises except in a few instances.
The program also calls for elimination of courses "of little or
least importance."
Forced by Legislature.
Michigan State ,was forced into the belt-tightening program when
the legislature appropriated $25,315,000. for operations during the next

Offers

To Cut Down
Aretic Flights
WASHINGTON (]P)-The Tnited
States offered yesterday to' con-
sider cutting down its H-bomb
flights in the arctic if the Soviet:
Union accepts the United States
North Pole inspection plan.
Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles made the proposal at a
news conference. He emphasized
that Soviet acceptance or rejection
will affect the question of whether
President'. Dwight D. Eisenhower
goes to a summit -conference.
Dulles' olive branch mood
matched that of Eisenhower at a
news conference Wednesday. The
President said then he felt more'
sadness than anger at Russia's
derisive rejection of his arctic, in-
spection plan and at Soviet out-
cries against U.S. nuclear alert
fllg'hts in the area.
Dulles disclosed new secret ap-.
proaches to the Soviets, in Wash-
ington and New York, in an effort
to sell the Soviets on the k polar.
proposal. If accepted, he'said, the
proposal could mark a turning
point in the cold war and possibly
bring further disarm ,nent agree-
ments.
The Soviet Union is under
mounting pressure-some coming
from satellite nations-to avoid a
flat turndown of President Eisen-
hower's arctic military inspection
plan,
This was the situation in ad-
vance of 'is&Y's meeting of the
United- Nations Security Council,
where indications up to now had
pointed to a Soviet veto of the
United States proposal. It alms to
eliminate any threat of massive
air attack across the polar .re-;
gions.
Diplomatic informants said Po-
i land and Czechoslovakia had ap-
pealed to the Soviets to shy away
from a strictly- negative attitude
and to accept the Eisenhower plan
i some form, perhaps modified by
Soviet amendments.

current appropriation of $26,326,-
500.
"This is very painful and un-
pleasant," Hannah told the board.
"P ; will require a lot of courage,
wisdom and judgment. But the
things less vital will have to be
curtailed or discontinued and we
might find the experience good for
the university.
"If this becomes a continuing
process," he added, "we'll be in
trouble. You can do a thing like
this once but you can't do it
again."r
Main Points
The main points approved in the
economy program were:
1) A cut of about five per cent
across the board in the budgets
for every division and operation
of the university.
2) Retention of present stand-
ards of admission and retention,
of students to keep the enrollment
at the present level of just under
20,000.
3) Holding of all salaries and
wages at present levels for faculty
members, with the exception of
upward adjustments for 99 faculty
members moved upward at the
board meeting.
No. Salary Cuts
4) Elimination of routine step
increases for all other MSU em-
ployes. It was emphasized, how-
ever, there would be no salary
cuts.
5) Curtailment of services to
buildings to reduce the quality of
service.
6) Reduction and elimination of
all budget items such as land pur-
chased, purchases of equipment
and repairs.c
7) Examination of all programs,
all operations, all curricula, all
courses "with the objective of
eliminating those of least impor-
tance and curtailing those of little
importance." .I
On the last point, Hanna said no(
decision had been made as yet on
just what might be eliminated butt
said the entire matter was underi
study.
Durward B. Varner, MSU vice-I
president, said certain courses had
been picked out by the legislaturex
"to ridicule them."
He cited such cdurses as squaret
dancing, archery and badminton.
"We have to have a physical
education program," Varner said.
"The question is whether we shall
teach the students sopne skills or
give them regimented physical
education the waywe do in Rus-
education the way they do in Rus-
sia?"
. The Board approved the ap-c
pointment of Dr. Walter H. Hodg-
son, dean of the school of music
at North Texas State College, as
head of the department of musica
o succeed the late Dr. Weldon
Hart.d
Low bidders were approved forr
the first building at the Oakland

STAYDS FIRM:
GM SaysQ
No Offer
.To UAW
DETROIT (I)-General Motors
Corp. yesterday firmly denied re-
ports it might come up with a bet-
ter offer to the United Auto Work-
ers before the deadline of contract
expiration May 29.
Such reports have been circu-
lating in the industry for the past
two days.
Vice President Louis G. Seaton,
GM's chief negotiator, told a news
conference the company is stand-
ing firm on its offer to renew wage
increases and fringe benefits pro-
vided in the present contract.
"That's where we stand and
that's where we are going to stay,"
he said. "We do not have any
other offer under development."
Seaton said the company feels
it has a broad responsibility to
its shareholders, employes and the
nation as a whole to stand firm.
But he said this did not mean
keeping the status quo. He said
GM's offer meant workers would
get a minimum of seven million
dollars a year more. He estimated
union demands would mean a cost
increase of at least-511 million dol-
lars a year.
Seaton had no comment on the
reports that GM, Ford and Chrys-
ler were getting together behind
the scenes on barganing policy.

Ron Gregg, '60, was reappointed

I ke's Plan
Criticized
By General
Says Reorganization
Threatens Marines
WASHINGTON (P)Gen. Ran
dolph M. Pate attacked Presiden
Dwight D. Eisenhower's defense
reorganization plan yesterday as a
potential threat to the life of th
Marine Corps 2,
The President's proposal tha
laws spelling out the roles of eac
military service be repealed, Pat
said, raises a real danger tha
under some future secretary of
defense the Marines may. be de-
moted from a fighting force t
simply a ceremonial unit.
Pate is the Marine Corps com
mandant. His opposition to fea
tures of the reorganization bill wa
the most outspoken voiced by any
Pentagon witness who has ap-
peared so far before the House
Armed Services Committee.
Approving Pate's stand, Rep.
F. E. Hebert (D-La.) told him he
had delivered a death blow "to the
unnecessary language in this' bill.'
At the same time the committee
received assurances from Secre-
tary of Defense Neil McElroy that
his department has no intention of
making any sweeping realignment
,of the military services or their
administration.
McElroy wrote the committee,
in answer to questions the con-
gressmen posed last week, that any
merger of the services would be
expressly forbidden by the pro-
posed law.
"The Army, Navy, Air Force and
Marine Corps retain their respec-
tive individualities" McElroy said.
Pate emphasized he does not
believe those now in high office
have any intention of reducing
the Marine Corps to impotence if
the reorganization goes through.
But someday the corps could get
the bum's rush, he said.

"Tosca" and Rodolfo in "La Bo-
heme." He has also been on the

Comments
e On Calendar
e Vary Greatly
t
f By SUSAN HOLTZER
o Immediate comment on
Wednesday's report by the Uni-
-versity Calendar C o m m i t t e e
-ranged from "wonderful" to
s"skeptical" yesterday, but in most
cases reaction to the proposals
was extremely favorable.
Edward 'G. Groesbeck, Director
of Registration and Records, said
he was delighted with the sug-
gestion that both orientation and
registration be held in advance.
"We've been trying to work out
something like that for years," he
said.
Similar Summier Plan
Groesbeck explained the Uni-
versity is carrying out a similar
program during the summer, but
on a limited scale. "My dream,"
he said, "is to have registration,
counseling, even the payment of
fees, right after the middle of
each preceding semester."
The s h o r t e n e d examination
period was called "a very real help
to winter sports" by Athletic Di-
rector H. O. "Fritz Crisler.
"We can't holdpractice during
the exam period," Crisler ex-
plained, "and the present sched-
ule means a long lay-off."
Time for Grading
Both Profs. Arthur Carr of the.
English department and Lawrence
B. Slobodkin of the zoology de-
partment- considered the proposed
additional time for grading final
exams an "important point."
"Many teachers now give ob-
jective tests to economize . on
time," Prof. Carr said. "Often,
they would like to use some oth-
er kind of exam, but can't finish
grading them in the required 72
hours."
Prof. Slobodkin too cited lack
of time as the major reason forj
objective finals. "Essay tests seemj
to make the students happier," he
said, "but you can't grade more
than 20 or 30 essay finals in time."
'Makes Good Sense'
In general, Prof. Carr said, the
plan "makes very good sense," but
he added his hope that the Uni-1
versity can work out an annualt
calendar "in terms of faculty re-
search employment." -
He also voiced approval of thei
shortened exam period, saying het
felt it would "minimize the im-i
portance of finals, which would be
an improvement.
"Giving so much weight to the
final exam is unhealthy," he said.
Reacts Unfavorably
Prof. Kenneth E. Boulding of
the economics department said
his "spot reaction was rather un-
favorable.
"Thereis no perfect calendar,"
he said, "and there are some aw-
fully good arguments for keeping
it as it is no matter what it is."s
Prof. Boulding particularly ob-I
jected to the tri-semester programs
on the grounds it would "destroy
the rhythm of academic life. It'sE
like abolishing the weekend," he
said.

Purdue Dean
Talks to IFC
O. D. Roberts, Dean of Men at
Purdue University and national
president of Kappa Delta Rho
fraternity spoke to an informal
meeting of the Inter-Fraternity
Council Executive Board yester-
day concerning the possibilities of
the reactivation of his fraternity
at the University.
Dean Roberts, who was in Ann
Arbor prior to addressing the an-
nual a l u m n i Inter-Fraternity
Council banquet last night, was
informed by the board that the
Fraternity President's Assembly
decided at their last meeting not
to approve any more colonies this
spring.
However, IFC president John
Gerber, '59, explained that the
IFC very possibly will consider
colonies again in the fall.
According to Gerber, IFC 'defi-
nitely plans to expand in the fu-
ture, but they wish to expand to
a larger degree internally, before
accepting many more new col-
onies.
Navy Changes
Cadet Ratio
The University's Naval Reserve
Officer Training Corps will not
have a numerical decrease as a
result of the reallocation of naval
cadets to institutions having low-

er of the University's NROTC pro-
gram.

quet, May 17.
Follow Mandate
At present, he said, he intends
to follow "the clear mandate from
the foreign students for more co-
operation from American stu-
dents."
Krishnamurthy added, "We look
forward to an active and eventful
year with a variety of programs of
value and interest."
He said he believed the "funda-
mental objective of the ISA, which
represents the largest group of
foreign students at any American
university, is to contribute its best
in every possible way to interna-
tional understanding on the cam-
pus."
Serves as Chairman
Arnove, an English major from
Evanston, Illinois, was chairman
of the International Week last
year and is also chairman of the
International Week to be held in
the fall.
One of the objectives of his job,
Arnove said, is to "stimulate Amer-
ican interest and increase par-
ticipation by American students
in ISA affairs."

WOODEN INDIAN'S BASE BROKEN:
Fraternity Recovers Minerva in 'Fair' Condition

Minerva's condition was report-
ed as "fair" today by her attend-
ants at the Theta Delta Chi fra-
ternity house, where she was tak-
en following her mysterious reap-
pearance yesterday.
Aside from a fractured base,
members of the fraternity said
she "would be all right." The
wooden indian is resting quietly
on the balcony of the house.
Early risers discovered Minerva
staring down at them from the
roof of the Economics Bldg. porch.
Her rescue by the fraternity was
delayed for approximately half an
hour when a class, occupying the
only room with a window opening
onto the porch, refused to vacate
until the hour ended.

Swastika Put
On Newspae
4In Drug Store
"It's not very funny," Robert
Lumbard said, referring to a
swastika painted on a page of
the Michigan Daily yesterday on
the window of a local drug store
which he owns.
Lumbard said he thought that
the swastika was propagated 'by
a sign he placed on his cash regis-
ter congratulatingthe state of Is-
rael on its tenth anniversary. Ad-
verse comments were heard' from
many of the store's patrons re-
garding the sign. He said he was
"not sure" who made the com-
ments.
Previously, he had run a sign
saying it was about time element§
on this campus started to get
along together instead of "feed-
ing ammunition to the Russians."
Lumbard said there is a strong
possibility it was the "same group
that had put the swastikas on the
Romance Language Building and
on Hillel." He thinks it is an or-
