T'here are nmoments that we feel have got hold of fundamental ths, he said, and these are the portant moments. Religion is changing as much anything else, President Hatcher said. It is subject to con- stant examination and exultation, he said. Earlier, President Hatcher said that America's important contri- bution to education has been in the field of technology and practi- cal education, and not in religion. The Russians have adopted this facet of our culture, he noted, and have also made tremendous strides with it. Materialistic Philosophy "Obviously, this led to a ma- terialistic philosophy," President Hatcher said. He described thisj materialistic philosophy as hold- ing that the advancement of ma- terial welfare would also advance the goodness and morality of people. "We have come to question this assumption," President Hatcher said. "We have become disillu- sioned with the concept that evil is merely the absence of good. Implacability of Evil The implacability of evil has been seen in modern times in Nazi Germany and in at least some of Russia's modern history, he said. The next lecture in the pro- gram will be held tomorrow, when Franklin H. Littell will speak on "Religion in Postwar Europe" at 4:15 p.m. in Auditorium A, An- gell Hall. Litell is the Franz Lieb- Ier Foundation's representative in Germany. Following tho lecture, a panel discussion on the topic will be held at '7:30 p.m. in Auditorium t A, Angell Hall.

The Danish and West German governments were similarly blamed for anti-Soviet demonstrations in Copenhagen and Bonn. In these cities and New York and elsewhere demonstrators pro- tested the Moscow-announced ex- ecutions of Hungarian ex-Premier Imre Nagy and other 1956 anti- Soviet revolt leaders. TALLAHASSEE-Integration of University of Florida graduate schools next fall was ordered by a federal district court recently and Gov. Leroy Collins said heex- pected no difficulty in complying with the decree. A segregationist leader in the state legislature, Sen. Randolph Hodges, started a move, however, to convene the legislature in an effort to find some way to block the order. The order by Federal Judge' Dozier Devane broke the solid front of segregation in Florida. CAPE CANAVERAL--The Navy reportedly logged another, highly successful test with its Polaris ex- perimental rocket yesterday, a feat it failed to achieve earlier with the experimental Vanguard. ' A few hours after the latest, Vanguard satellite shoot was1 scrubbed" for the second time in four days, the Polaris roared away on a brief but spectacular per-3 formance. The solid fuel-powered Polaris, a test version of what probably will be the free world's most advanced ballistic missile by 1960, jerked and twisted aloft for some 25 seconds- before it burst apart as planned. CAPE CANAVERAL-The Army launched another Redstone medi- um range ballistic missile toward space last night. The 63-foot rocket, the most advanced ballistic weapon in the United States arsenal, streakedf high into the clear Florida sky, blasting out a thick stream of yel- low flame.1 PRESIDENTS: Will Ask Session Be Called By MICHAEL KRAFT Daily Co-Editor A special legislative session will "undoubtedly" be on the agenda of discussion by Michigan college presidents at their September meeting, University Vice-President William Stirton said yesterday. He added that there probably will be "extensive discussion" of financial problems at the meeting which may go beyond the usual one-day sessions. Stirton represented the Univer- sity at the meeting in Lansing Monday in which Gov. G. Mennen Williams met with officials of the state supported institutions of higher education to discuss their budget problems. Appropriations Cut The University and Michigan State University operating appro- priations were cut by about one million dollars this year while other state school budgets were trimmed at least $60,000. Gov. Williams suggested to the educators that they try to seek "a new approach to writing the bud- get." He urged the association of college presidents to suggest a "special procedure" for getting a higher education budget written Snext year. Stirton saidt a common worry expressed in the reports made by the universities and colleges to the governor was that the legislative appropriations cut into higher education's reserve of facilities necessary to meet increasing de- mands. " 'W'ar Baby' Problem "An overtone to the meeting" was the problem of absorbing the "war babies" when they soon reach the colleges, he said. The shortage of physical facilities was also dis- cussed. This year, the Legislature appro- priated capital outlay funds only for buildings already under con- struction. Stirton called "defer- ment" of meeting building needs "a vicious problem, especially since building costs are now at a reces- sion-caused low." Thfe educators' reports on the, effects of the Legislature's "aus- terity" budget, told of cutbacks at every institution. The University will have 207 fewer positions on the academic and non-teaching staff next fal. Enrollment at the Ann Arbor and Flint campuses will be held to the present levels, :Dearborn Center's opening will be postpon ,d one year, library services and book purchases, will be reduced. At MSU, there will be 110 faculty and staff positions left vacant and no merit pay increases for the academic staff.

Bette Smith De- Main, grad., will appear as Queen Elizabeth, Patrick Smith, '58, '58, and Letitia Cushmore, '58, completing the court. "Love's Labor's Lost" being one of the earlier plays of Shakespeare' is the testing ground for many of the ideas and characters that he used in later plays. Berowne and Rosaline, the hero and heroine, are considered to be early drafts of Beatrice and Bene- dict in "Much Ado About Nothing." Lines Used Later The Pageant of the Worthies, which concludes the play, is ex- pected to appear again in "A Mid- summer Night's Dream" delivered by Bottom the weaver and others. Many lines were used later, al- though altered somewhat. Costumes for the performance, designed by Marjorie Smith, Grad., consist of brightly colored net over tights. With the bright stage lighting, the costumes ap- pear transparent. Other special effects include the use of trans- parent weapons and a rope lad- der, which represents a tree and enables actors to remain "hid- den" while delivering lines. Tickets for the performances, are still available at the theatre# box office for $1.50, $1.10 and 75 , cents. BEIRUT (A - Lebanon's President Camille Chamoun talked with United Nations Secre- tary General Dag Hammarskjold yesterday on the menacing pros- pect of an all-out rebel attack within two days. Both men were grim-faced after their 40-minute conference. Hammarskjold, just back from Cairo, made no comment, butF Chamoun told reporters rebel forces are massing in three areas, leading to the belief that h'eav attacks are about to be launched. Violence Continues Scattered violence continued, United States Ambassador Rob- ert McClintock narrowly escaped injury when a bomb exploded 30 feet from his car. An embassy official said it was sheer coincidence and no attempt on the ambassador's life. Neither McClintock nor his driver was hurt. Others Heard At least three other bombs ex- ploded in Beirut during the day, one opposite the American Uni- versity. A time bomb blasted a bus near the mountain village of Zahle, killing four persons. Asked to comment on his talk with Hammarskjold, Chamoun said: "All I can tell you is that the secretary general said he is rath- er optimistic. The secretary gen- eral has tried to do a good job here, but we will wait and see whether his optimism is justi- fied." Infiltration Increases Chamoun charged that infil- tration of men and arms from the United Arab Republic has been increasing since the United Na- tions decided to send observers into Lebanon. He said his government had considered asking for foreign in- tervention but would deal with the rebellion with its own forces if possible.

Politial Club Annual Aging Conference The 11th annual conference on aging was held at the University yesterday and Monday. The biological, social and eco- nomic aspects of aging were dis- cussed. in a series of meetings. Clark Tibbitts, assistant direc- tor of the U.S. Department of Health concerning Old Age de- livered the opening address. He cited, these research findings to support, his views. "Physically, there is no single prime of life; the peak of different abilities is passed at different times, some very early and others very late in life." "Mentally, there may be a gradual increase in some aspects of intellectual functioning until, at least, very old- age," he con- tinued. Socially, increasing leisure may lead. to the establishment of new and ,more socially oriented goals. in middle and later life, Tibbitts said.

No Formal Plan, Offered University, Pierpont Says University Vice-President in Charge of Business and Finance Wilbur K. Pierpont said yesterday that no formal proposal to finance education on an installment plan had been made to the University. However, one Detroit bank has approached the University in- formally, Vice-President Pierpont said. Similar to MSU The plan would follow the lines of one being considered by the State Board of Agriculture for Michigan State University. It would $allow parents of college students w t1h to make monthly payments over a )et G lee five or six-year period, instead of requiring payment at the begin- ning of each semester. In comparison with schools that require payment of all money due in one or two lump sums, the need for such a plan at the University would be less, Vice-President Pier- pont said, because the Universityj allows residence hall room-and- board payments to be spread out You'll Trump Conant Urges Students To Take Hard Courses Superior high school students should be encouraged to take difficult courses, according to James B.
