LXVIII, No. 27 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1957 FIVE CENTS SIX PAGESx Camus Awarded Nobel Prize f" STOCKHOLM OP)--French au- thor Albert Camus, advocate of the classical Greek philosophy of reason in an angry age, yesterday won the 1957 Nobel Prize for Lit- erature. The Royal Swedish Academy of Literature cited him for "his im- portant literary production, which with clear-sighted earnestness il- luminates the problems of. the hu- man conscience in our times." Camus, 43 years old, is the youngest to receive the interna- tional prize since Rudyard Kipling was chosen in 1907 at 41. Biggest Prize Ever The prize of more than $42,000 is the richest ever received by a Nobel literature winner. The amount depends on income from a fund established by the late Al- fred Nobel, Swedish inventor of dynamite. Camus told reporters in Paris he hoped the award would enable him to retire to an obscure ho- tel five miles from the French capital to write an educational novel tentatively entitled "The First Man." "Its theme," he sad, "is simply how to become a man. It will be a story about love, but not in any sentirrentr' fashion. "I *tvi thatT am similar to mil- lions of veoole and think like they do and struggle with the same problems," he said.

Winchell House Captures SKidston Scholastic wrd By JAMES BOW The Roger Kidston Award was presented to Winchell House, West Quadrangle, yesterday by the Inter-House Council. The $50 award is presented each year to the men's residence hall with the highest scholastic average to be used at the house's discretion. Winchell House's academic average last semester was 2.66. Jack Squire, '60E, IHC administrative vice-president, presented the Kidston award to Larry Elliott, '59, Winchell House president. The award ceremony was a part of last night's IHC Presidium meeting, which also included action on the IHC judiciary system, ;' a policy statement on solicitation write to define feelings that are common for many people." Possibly best known for "The Plague" and "The Fal," Camus said his own favorite is "Man in Revolt" a study of the philosophy of oppression through the ages. Camus was a Communist for a year at the age of 21 in his native Algeria. French-Spanish Parents Camus was born Nov. 7, 1913. at Mondovi, Algeria. His father was French his mother Spanish. He was 25 years old when he be- gan writing. He went to France shortly before the outbreak of war. His first widelyacclaimed nov- el, "The Stranger," written in 1942, dealt with North Africa. So does "The Plagie," written in 1947. His most recent book is "The Exile and the Kingdom," a col- lection of short stories. Observers Say Rocket Nears Earth WASHINGTON () - Russia's space rocket was reported by ob- servers yesterday to be whirling along the skyways some 23 min- utes ahead of the satellite it pro- pelled into an orbit 13 days ago. Three moonwatchers at the Harvard Observatory spotted the satellite at 5:17 a.m. EST at a point in the sky where the third- stage rocket had passed at 4:54 a.m. Scientists have said this indi- cates the rocket itself is moving nearer and nearer the earth in ever smaller circles, that its rela- tive speed increases as its orbit contracts. Differ on Landing There were differences of opin- ion on how soon the rocket would ,move into earth atmosphere heavy enough to plough it down- ward in flames. British astronomer A.C.B. Lov- ell said in Manchester, England, he is convinced "something catas- trophic will happen to the rocket very soon - possibly in a day or two." But Dr. Fred L. Whipple, head of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory at Cambridge, Mass., said the rock will stay up for at least two months. No Forecast As for the satellite itself, hurled aloft by the Soviets Oct. 4, Whip- ple said its life expectancy could not be forecast at this time. Presumably it is continuing alongsat an 18,000-mile-an-hour pace in a track considerably out- ward of the rocket's orbit. A Russian scientist, who collab- orated in launching the Soviet moon, said in Paris it would stay in the heavens "a very long time." The scientist, Prof. Leonid Sedov, also said he does not believe the satellite is equipped to photograph the earth: Pinay Forms New Cabinet PARIS (A) - Antoine Pinay last night named a Cabinet to govern France and reserved the three top ministries for himself. If the National Assembly ap- proves Pinay would be premier and foreign and finance minister in a cabinet with 12 other men. Two other ex-premiers, Rene Pleven and Paul Reynaud, report- edly refused to serve as foreign minister. The Premier-designate goes be- fore Parliament for endorsement today. He mustered his Cabinet by telephone during the day. It would be perhaps the smallest France has ever had. Three Day Flu Total Hits 970 By THOMAS BLUES Through the first three days of this week 970 University students with Upper Respiratory Infection have been examined in Health Service Clinic. Dr. Morley Beckett, H e a t h Service Director, said "we are in- formed that the numbers of stu- dents in campus sick in bed must exceed 2,000." Noting the increase in the cur- rent Asian Flu epidemic. Dr. Bec- kett, sent a progress report on the status of the disease to University President Harlan Hatcher. Some Pneumonia Although the current infection is, on the whole, mild, the report said, "there are a good number of patients who become very acutely sick and a few pneumonias have developed." None of these patients are in dangerous condition, Le added. Due to the high proportions of illness in residence halls two resi- dent physicians from University Hospital were assigned to Health Service in the past 24 hours. "This action," Dr. Beckett said, "will make it possible for medical calls on residence halls, frater- nities and sororities where great numbers of students are presently in bed." Students Sent to Residences He said students "who do not definitely require infirmary care are being returned to their resi- Flu Advice Health Service has issued the following instructions to stu.. dents showing Asian Flu symp- toms. Students complaining of thirst, headache, sore throat and fever are advised to: 1) Rest in room until tem- perature is normal and symp- toms subside. 2) Take two aspirin every four hours for control of aching and discomfort. 3) Take plenty of liquids. dences with medications and in- structions and requested to return if symptoms do not subside in 48 hours." Also, the report noted that clinic physicians are advising students in the early stages of the disease and who do not require infirmary care to return to their homes for a few days if they live within a radius of 75 to 100 miles. The special "cold clinic" in the basement of Health Service is being utilized to full extent and the infirmary "remains full at all times." Dr. Beckett said the aver- age patient remains in the in- firmary for 48 to 72 hours. Temperatures Reach 104* Reporting on the increasing acuteness of the circulating virus, much of which has been deter- mined to be Asian Flu, Dr. Beckett said, temperatures of new patient seen during the last week com- monly range from 102 to 104 de- grees. Again Dr. Beckett commended residence halls staff workers for an outstanding job "in the present emergency."~ The report also said the peak of the epidemic is not expected to be passed for a few daysand plans are being made with this in view.

Government sources said the Syrian Cabinet considered general mobilization at an hour-long meet- ing at the home of Prime Minister Sabri Assali, then ruled it out as unnecessary. Syria's acting foreign minister, Khalil Kallas, also told reporters that a new Turkish note denies any Turkish military threat to Syria. Turkey 'Concerned' Kallas said the note delivered by Turkish Minister Adnan Kural also said Turkey is concerned over what is happening in Syria. Kallas called that statement "interference in our affairs" and said there will be a counter-reply tomorrow. Kallas said the note did not deny the presence of Turkish troop concentrations along the Syrian border, insisting only that they were troop movements that con- cern Turkey alone. But high Syrian officials private- ly expressed a belief that the Turks will not attack Syria, despite pub- lic statements of alarm over the Turkish troop concentrations. No Mobilization A government spokesman said the fact the 50,000-man Syrian army is on the alert means only that leave for officers has been canceled. He stressed that not even partial mobilization of the army is under way. The arms for civilians are going to thousands of members of the Popular Resistance Movement who have had a smattering of military training. The arms are being distributed in Aleppo, Homs, Latakia, Hama and Damascus as well as in north- ern villages near the Turkish bor- der. Saud Talks To Leaders BEIRUT, Lebanon (A') - King Saud of Saudi Arabia discussed the Syrian-Turkish crisis yesterday with government heads of Syria and Lebanon, his advisers reported. Saud talked by telephone for 15 minutes with President Shukri Ku- watly of Syria in Damascus, then met with President Camille Cha- moun of Lebanon in the mountain resort of Alby. The King's advisers said Turk- ish-Syrian development of the past 24 hours were the subject in both conversations. An official source said, however, that Saud's immediate concern on his state visit there is to persuade Lebanon and Syria to patch up their differences, In his role of peacemaker among the Arab states, Saud was said to have urged a meeting between Chamoun and Kuwatly. Informed sources said the Saudi monarch expressed the view that settlement of the Lebanese-Syrian quarrel would clear the way for a needed summit conference of the heads of Arab states. PROF.
