There is a pitiful scarcity of apartments locally and the rents are outrageous, approaching those in the District of Columbia. This situation has prompted both the Uni- versity and Ann Arbor landladies to throw roadblocks in the paths of all unmarried male students endeavoring to find a reasonable alter- native to the regimentation of the dormitories and the follies of fraternity system. The Administration has decided to enforce the provisions of Regents By-Law 1948, Section 8.07 Henceforth, no unmarried male student, undergraduate or graduate, may live in an apartment house, and the By-Law requires permission from the Dean of Students for those willing to risk their pocketbooks for privacy. University officials have given two reasons for reviving the By-Law: (1) there are not enough apartment facilities in Ann Arbor to accommodate married couples, and (2) there. have been numerous complaints regarding the conduct of single male students living in apart- ment houses. The University has left a loop-hole for those single men who can show an economic justifi- cation for living in an apartment. Meanwhile, the landladies are making it ex- tremely difficult for men students to find a tolerable apartment. A check on the bulletin board in the Office of Student Affairs and in the classified ads sections of the local papers indicates that the landladies are overwhelm- ingly in favor of marriage. After a call, the reason inevitably given is: "We've had some sad experiences with male students." If this rebuff doesn't cool off the prospective tenant, then he has to face the imposition of a plethora of restrictions and reservations - no dogs, no cats, no concubines, no tuning your radio above a whisper, ad nauseam. The landlady then names her price and the rent is usually incredible enough to drive the tenant back into the protective arms of the University. While we do not object to the By-Law, under the circumstances, because it recognizes the need for apartment facilities for Inarried couples, we do object to the conditions that created the By-Law. Over the past three years, Ann Arbor's apartment and housing problems have become intolerable enough to merit the serious examination of both- the City Council and the Administration. It is time that the University and the City, respectively, explore the possibilities of constructing new housing units and also of establishing reasonable rent controls. Otherwise, the housing situation may drive a good many students to other universities, where no burdensome restrictions are placed on non-collegiate housing, where. a tenant can live his own placid life'without having to pay famously for that simple prerogative.

VIA, Ramblings in Retrospect BY JIMDYG - T IS an old tradition, perpetuating itself mysteriously after outliving the reason for its beginning, for a managing editor to say good-bye, in somewhat sentimental fashion, in the last issue of The Daily. A usual catalyst for the process is the fact that the writer is writing his last editorial, which is not the case this time. Nevertheless, a review of the sum- mer seems in order, even though this writer will be back on this page in the fall. A summer on The Daily is an unusual exper- fence. Someone once asked the writer why so much hard work is required to put out a news- paper when there's no news. It doesn't require a degree in logic to understand that it's diffi- cult to fill up a newspaper with news when there isn't any. Summer -on the University campus is also a victim of tradition. There is seldom any news. Yet, a few things have happened to make the summer interesting. The release of the rejected report of the Faculty Senate Com- mittee on the Responsibilities of the Faculty to Society and of an objecting statement by five members of the faculty touched off a controversy in which The Daily became in- volved, in line with its usual course of action on matters of vital University interest. Nothing was settled on the matter, perhaps, except pos- sibly a greater awareness that there are basic issues that must be discussed in the Faculty Senate. If The Daily has added in any way to the probability that such a discussion will take place, it has served faithfully its purpose of contributing to the University's welfare. Another thing happened, contrary to the cynical notion that only no news is good news that ended The Daily's summer on a happy note. Law student Buick Navidzadeh was granted a six months delay in deportation proceedings against him. It is with great pleas. ure that The Daily reports such news. Looking back over the past seven weeks, we can think of several other events - the con- struction strike, Gov. Williams' appearance and speech, the controversy over the closing of S. Thayer St., the acceptance of preliminary plans for the Student Activities Building by the Regents, the Willow Run strike, Walter Reu- ther's visit to the campus. Perhaps the lack of news is only relative. There certainly has been enough to keep the Daily's small (also tradi- tional for the summer) staff quite busy. Almost too busy for the weather, whh should perhaps be included among the major news stories of the summer, if only because of its one-track perseverance. It got so unbearably hot and uncomfortable for so unbearably long that the only thing to do was to make fun of it. We even considered writing pro and con editorials on the weather, but couldn't work up the energy. Despite climatic and other difficulties, The Daily's summer has been an enjoyable one, as ,we hope the campus has found The Daily. Either that or utilitarian. However The Daily has managed to serve the campus, it can thank the tireless efforts of its small staff, composed, except for this writer, of people who had classes and/or other jobs; namely, Cal Samra, who shared the managing editor's responsibilities with the writer and who deserves the credit The Daily Staff Managing Editors .........................Cal Samra Jim Dygert NIGHT EDITORS Mary Lee Dngler, Marge Piercy, Ernest Theodossin Dave Rorabacher ...........Sports Editor for keeping the editorial page mainly local; night editors Ernest Theodossin, who never came in to put out a paper until after five because he worked eight hours a day and who insisted on writing stories besides, Margy Piercy, who operated a switchboard between assign- ments and who produced some fine papers after being away from The Daily for a semester, and Mary Lee Dingler, who seemed always on hand to cover an event when needed, though we're sure she had some classes. There were also reporters Ken Johnson and Carole Moskowitz, who were new to The Daily this summer but caught onto its complex opera- tion quickly, sports editor Dave Rorabacher, who kept the campus informed on the major league baseball races - the red-hot American and the all-over National - and photographers Sam Ching, Harding Williams, Hal Leeds, Fred Day and Tom McLean who kept us well sup- plied with local art. For the first five weeks, we had also the services of Pat Roelofs, one of three on The Daily's Editorial Board which dissolved into two managing editors after she left for Europe. Of course, the paper would not have been possible without the energetic promotion of bus- iness manager Joe Frisinger who brought in the adevrtising, Nor would it have been possible without the men in the shop, or Malin Van Antwerp, who volunteered his services as proof- reader because he "would read the paper in the morning, anyway, and I might as well do some good while I'm reading it." Because the value of news has been low, The Daily has attempted to follow closely campus cultural events with its crew of excellent re- viewers Tom Arp, Bob Holloway, Bill Wiegand, Donald Yates, and Ruth Misheloff. (Theodossin also doubled as a reviewer sometimes, at his own request.) The Daily wishes also to extend its thanks to the University administration and faculty for its cooperation on articles during the sum- mer. With a bit of regret, we note that The Daily did not get into any scraps with the administration this summer. We sort of missed out on putting in our two cents' worth of veh- ement and constructive criticism. It also leads to a feeling of having missed something, of having been too virtuous and not perceptive enough. What is more likely is that everything is going relatively smoothly, and 'no news is good news' is true, in a sense, after all. The Daily will pick up in the fall (Sept. 25, to be exact) where it is leaving off now, with a wish that everyone has a pleasant vacation, or at least a vacation. That's what we plan to take. "AS MUCH as the word 'liberal' has been misused and pronounced by a host of in- competents to describe themselves, the word 'individualism' has been equally corrupted. 'In- dividualism,' some would have us believe, is simply the expression of dissent, in one form or another, against the traditions, mores, or institutions of society. There has grown a school of thought in this country that sub- scribes to the notion that it is not necessary for the 'individualist' to stop and think why he is dissenting. It is only sufficient that he dissents. Wearing a duck-tail, sporting a pair of Cossack boots, or speaking with a simulated British accent is thus deemed the mark of one sort of 'individualist' or another. The Vil- lage is haunted with these types, all endeavor-, ing to act so different that they are intoler- ably alike. "But the truth of the matter is that bona fide 'individualism' means dissension from so- ciety, not simply to shock the world, but a DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN The Daily Official Bulletin is an official publication of the University of Michigan for which the Michigan Daily assumes no editorial responsi- bility.

To the Editor: AS A former editor of The Daily, I was honored to find an edi- torial of mine, "Sophomoritis," re-j printed in yesterday's Daily. I sus- pect that the editorial applies to college life today, although I can't be sure. At any rate, I would have appreciated the courtesy of an editor's note pointing out that it was written five years ago. -Al Connable * * * Nostalgia .* . To The Editor: T have been thinking and I've By DREW PEARSON WASHINGTON-With Congress out of town, President Eisen- hower is spending more time on the golf course at Gettysburg and at the Burning Tree Club just out- side of Washington. Caddies at Burning Tree have got to know the President almost as well as some members of the Cabinet know him. As far as golf is concerned they know him bet- ter. And some of the caddies have quite a collection of his golf balls, the gift to Ike of a sporting goods firm, with "Mr. President" stamp- ed on them. The President usual- ly gives one or two away during a match, but they are kept as sou- venirs by the lucky recipients and never put back into play. Golfing companions have noted a special improvement in Ike's driving: he consistently pokes 'em off the tee for 200 yards or long- er. However, he is still a little er- ratic in his putting and approach shots, particularly on "chip" shots that have to be lofted over a trap. He works on this whenever he has time to practice on the White House lawn. ' In a regular match the Presi- dent shoots in the high 80's, bet- ter than average at Burning Tree. But he is a fierce competitor, hates to lose to anyone, even his own son, John, now stationed at near- by Fort Belvoir, Va. John hits a longer ball but is not as good a putter as his father, who usually beats him by a few strokes Other favorite golfing cronies of the President include Col. Tom Belshe, a retired Army officer, Jack Westland of Washington, and GOP Congressmen Charlie Hal- leck of Indiana and Les Arends of Illinois. Westland was national amateur golfing champion in 19- 52. However, Ike keeps his favor- ite sport on a bipartisan plane by sometimes inviting Rep. George Mahon of Texas or another Demo- crat to join in a foursome. DANGER ON GOLF COURSE THE PRESIDENT insists on split- ting caddie fees with his four- some partner. Counting tips, this usually is $7 for 18 holes, making Ike's share $3.50. He always pays off in crisp new bills. At the end of a match, he "replays" his good and bad shots while under the shower or while chatting with fellow play- ers over refreshments at the "19th hole." Ike is an eager beaver type on the green and moves so fast after teeing off that he sometimes is standing over his ball while com- panions, who may be lying far- ther from the green and' therefore are entitled to the next shot, are preparing to swing again. This causes some concern at Burning Tree. "Suppose," remarked one of Ike's golfing pals, "one of us should ac- cidentally hit the President while he is standing there ahead of us. He is such a strong competitor and so engrossed in his game that he doesn't think about the possibility of getting conked by a stray ball." When the President is advised of his risky position, he apolo- gizes and steps back with a grin so the game can go on. The Secret Service keep a vigilant eye on the chief executive, though not out of fear that he may be hit by a golf ball. One of Ike's favorite golfing stories is about a Secret Service "lapse" one day when he was playing at Burning Tree. Secret Service agents were at the entrance gate, checking auto- mobiles and their occupants. Merle Thorpe, former editor of Nation's Business, drove up and was asked his name. Without blinking an eye, Thorpe reeled off the most Russian-sounding name he could make up, with a "ski" on the ed of it' "Phe en i,"s., "Pass on in," said the agent without hesitation. RECORD BANKRUPTCIES D ESPITE THE full-blownpros- perity in most of the U.S., bankruptcy cases in the same U.S. are at an all-time high. This prob- ably represents the difficulty of small business to compete against the modern methods of big busi- ness. How many companies are going bankrupt is indicated by the re- cent request of the Commerce De- partment for the largest amount of money in history for salaries to referees in bankruptcy. Acting on this request, the House Banking and Currency Committee stated: "The committee was advised that approximately 65,000 bankruptcy cases will be filed in 1955, that a total 'increase of 75,000 in 1956 can be expected. This would be the highest number of bankrupt- cies recorded in the history of the country." Meanwhile the profits of Gen- eral Motors during the first year of the Eisenhower Administration increased approximately 50 per But he notified leaders that he would call a meeting of his council of economic advisers in late Sep- tember and get from them a prog- nostication in regard to the eco- nomic condition of the nation. They have been warning him that runaway inflation might cause trouble around the spring of '56. This is the worst time from a po- litical point of view for the Repub- lican Party to have a recession. But the White House economic advisers, though not entirely unan- imous, have feared that the tre- mendous sale of automobiles this year, plus the sale of houses, most of it instalment-plan buying, might overload consumer buying power and lead to a retrench- ment. Therefore, if the President's economic advisers take a dim view of the future in late September, Eisenhower told Congressional leaders he would call Congress. back in October to pass a high- way bill. This would provide new spending and stave off any re- cession. Note-Meanwhile some of the publicity experts around the White House-and Ike has a lot of them -are undertaking a grassroots drive to put the heat on Congress- men while they're at home to step up sentiment for a highway bill. GOP FUSS WHAT'S HAPPENING inside the Republican high command to- day is almost identical with what happened inside the Democratic high command in 1944-with ne important exception. Like the Democratic bosses of decade ago with FDR, Republican leaders today are determined to nominate Eisenhower again, re- gardless of age, health, or any- thing else, In 1944,Franklin Roosevelt was engrossed with world affairs. The war was almost won. He was al- ready concentrating on the prob- lems of peace. Domestic affairs had been largely delegated to oth- ers. Some of them were not in good shape. Democratic leaders knew that if they picked any oth- er candidate, that if the election campaign were run on domestic is- sues, they would lose. So a careful publicity campaign began not only to make Roosevelt the indispensable man but to con- ceal fro mthe public the true facts about his health. And in July, 1944, as the Demo- crats gathered in Chicago to pick their candidate; Rooseve started on a cruise up the west coast to Alaska-obviously for his health. Simultaneously, Bob Hannegan, Ed Flynn of the Bronx, Mayor Ed Kelley of Chicago, and other party bosses, knowing that Roosevelt could not possibly last a full term, concentrated on the choice of their own man for vice-president. GOP LEADERS REPAT TODAY, Republican leaders are equally determined to nomi- nate Dwight Eisenhower, in -part for the same reasons. They know that any other Republican can- didate would have a hard time winning. They know that on do- mestic issues-Dixon-Yates, fare prices, big business monopoly-the- Republicans face a rough cam- paign. But on international issues they feel Eisenhower has struck a winning streak and can be pro- moted as the "indispensable man.* However, there is one big dif- ference. Eisenhower so far hasn't bought the GOP line. Unlike Roosevelt, who was will- ing to go along with party leaders, Eisenhower has been telling them for months that they had to pick new young leaders, that he was not going to run again. On Jan. 4, this column reported in detail on one of the private ; dinners at the White House .,at which Ike told his closest friends that they must begin building up new, "dynamic" men to replace him. This writer has consistently re- ported-with one exception-that Ike did not want to run again. The exception was a column written from Geneva, where it seemed to this observer that Ike had hit his stride, was doing the things be likes best to do, and probably could be persuaded to run again on a "peace-in-our-time" plat- form. However, the recent meeting he had with Senator George Bender and other Ohio Republicans indi- cates to the contrary and is more significant than the public re- alizes. For Senator Bender and friends did not want to tell news- men what Ike had told them. They had to be prodded by the White House into making a statement. George Bender is quite a friend- ly, loquacious fellow. He talks to the press at the drop of a hat. But he did not want to give newsmen the discouraging news that Ike considered age a detriment to I 4
