Fratern.K1ities Plan To Buil1dI On North'Camp~usSite By THOMAS HAYDEN Plans to extend the University fraternity system to North Cam- pus by as early as 1960 were re- vealed' yesterday by Vice.-Presi- dent for Student Affairs James A. Lewis. Lewis disclosed that the Uni- versity Regents have authorized setting aside 6.7 acres in the northwest section of North Cam- pus for fraternity development. Zetar Beta Tau has purchased the first lot in the area and is scheduled to begin construction in the coming year. Lewis said "two or three other Nizxon Tour, W elcomed With Hugs NOVOSIBIRSK, Soviet Union (P) -Vice-President Richard M. Nixon was hugged and cheered by enthusiastic crowds in this west- ern Siberian city yesterday. It was the warmest reception of his Soviet tour. About 20,000 applauding and cheering Russians greeted Nixon and his wife as they arrived in this important factory city of 880,000. Other thousands lined the streets. Crowds Friendly Georgi A. Zhukov, chairman of the Soviet Union Cultural Com- mittee, said he was afraid the enthusiasm of the crowd would get out of'hand several times. "I was afraid he was going to be hurt by a bear hug," Zhukov said. "But they were hugs of. friendship." Nixon told newsmen his Novosi- birsk reception was "by far the most outstanding we have seen. They all knew we were here and besides we came at a time when people were able to greet us." Warm Welcome The welcome was in contrast to the somewhat chilly turnout of a few- hundred persons when the Nixon party arrived in Moscow last Thursday. A Soviet jet brought the Nixons from Leningrad in 4/2 hours. A crowd of about 300 met the Nixons at Sverdlovsk in the eastern foot- hills of the Urals during a refuel- ing stop. En route, Nixon persuaded Soviet officials to let him see the Siberian branch of the Academy of Sci- ences, a huge research complex under construction here. His tentative plans call for a tour of the community today. May Advocate Visit There was increasing evidence yesterday that the Vice-President is leaning more and more to the view that Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev should be invited to the United States. fraternities and one sorority" have expressed interest in pur- chasing land in the area. Five. fra- ternity sites, including parking space and recreation facilities, are planned. At meetings on North Campus fraternity development in the spring of 1958, ZBT, Sigma Al- pha Mu, Lambda Chi Alpha, Sig- ma Alpha Epsilon, Delta Sigma Phi. Alpha Epsilon Pi, Triangle and Alpha. Rho Chi were inter- ested in transferring facilities to North Campus. Interfraternity Council Presi- dent James Martens, '60BAd., said ZBT's decision was based largely on the feeling that the present house on Washtenaw Ave. is "inadequate.", Funds Available The group "has the necessary funds, and has been interested in, finding a nice piece of property," Martens explained. He said the'shift will not "split" the system, which includes 42 houses at present. "We're so spread out geographically now, that it will have little effect," Martens pointed out. Lewis said the action was part of long-range University plans for developing balanced student liv- ing facilities on North Campus. Present plans call for eventual construction of a 1,100-unit dor- mitory south of the fraternity area. handled on a "first come, first served" basis, Lewis continued. The effect of these transactions will be to maintain independent fraternity ownership of property, and to return certain portions of North Campus to the Ann Arbor property tax rolls, he added. The Regents' approval of the development was made at their meeting last Friday, but was not announced until fraternity offi- cials had been notified. Name Ardis To Bureau Evart Ardis, superintendent of schools in Ypsilanti, has been ap- pointed director of the Bureau of Appointments and Occupational Information. Announcement of the appoint- ment came from Vice-President for Student Affairs James A. Lewis yesterday. Ardis will succeed H. Glenn Ludlow who has accepted a po- sition at Indiana University. He will assume the post as soon as arrangements for leaving his Ypsilanti position can be com- pleted. Approval of the appointment was made by the Regents at their ment was delayed to allow Ardis Friday meeting but announce- to submit his resignation to the Ypsilanti Board of Education Monday night. His experience in school ad- ministration began in Freeport where he started as teacher in 11934 and worked up to superin- tendent of schoolsubeforepleaving in 1934. He has also served as superintendent at East Detroit and Inkster before joining the Ypsilanti system in 1953. GENEVA: Allies Ask New Plan In Berlin GENEVA () - The Western allies last night proposed a series of new arrangements for Berlin as part of a five-year deal to freeze the East-West crisis in that dis- puted city. The United States, Britain and France offered to join the Soviet Union in a review of the Berlin situation after five years if- Ger- many remains divided at that time. This represented the West's first formal acceptance of the idea of a time-limited arrangement for Ber- lin. And perhaps even the five-year period will become a subject of negotiation. Reject Plan Secretary of State Christian A. Herter and his British and French colleagues had turned thumbs down on an 18-month freeze ad- vocated by Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gromyko. The Western ministers made it plain to the Russians that the Big Three Western powers stand firmly on all their rights to be in Berlin. On the other hand, the Soviet Union called on the Western pow- ers to cut back their 11,000-man garrison in West Berlin immedi- ately to 3,000 or 4,000. Demand Negotiations The Soviet delegation also re- served the right to link any stop- gap Berlin deal with an old de- mand for some form of direct East-West German political nego- tiations. Thenrival proposals were em- bodied in new documents ex- changed by the two sides in a one- day lull in negotiations by the Big Four Foreign Ministers. Neither side would comment on the suggestions of the other. In the absence of a close com- parison of the texts it was impos- sible to say whether the exchange brought the prospect of an accord any nearer. Implicit Offer Qualified diplomats reported that the Western offer of a five- year Berlin deal was implied rather than explicit. The carefully-worded document said something like this: The (Big Four) ministers agree that in the absence of the reunifi- cation of Germany they may meet again after five years if they so desire, to review arrangements in the city. To Maintain Status Under this provision Berlin's status would continue untouched unless the Big Four decided by common consent on any further changes. In practice it would leave intact existing Western rights of access along the air, land and water routes to the city. It would not affect rights of West Berliners to move freely into East Berlin or back to West Germany across 110 miles of Red-ruled ter- ritory. It would leave untouched the rights of the United States, Britain and France to keep and to sustain their troops in West Berlin. -avid U.itrow BETRAYED-Some ambitious realtor evidently feels Couzens Hall is a good bet on the housing market this summer, but the student going "home" seems to be ignoring the whole thing, perhaps sure the thought of displacing a few hundred nursing students will scare away the customers. UNION HITS STAND: U.S. Steel Announces Record High in Profits By The Associated Press NEW YORK -U. S. Steel reported record profits yesterday and the striking United Steelworkers of America called it evidence that the industry's strike stand is phony.. David J. MacDonald, president of the union, said a six- months U. S. Steel report of $254,948,496 net income demolishes the company's excuse for not granting wage increases that might million payroll at the end of the week. MSU Will Borrow Michigan State University, also by-passed in this month's allot- ment, will borrow $1,800,000 to- day for Friday's $2,600,000 pay- roll, Philip J. May, controller and vice-president for finance, said yesterday. Wayne State, Univer- sity will receive $500,000 to help meet an $800,000 August payroll. From the $20,900,000 available state funds, state employes, cities and villages, welfare recipients and those creditors who have been waiting the longest will be paid.. In spite of the complete treasury sweep-out, however, the current cash shortage will amount, to ap- proximately $78 million and the state's total debt still remains around $110 million. Threat Continues Although state funds have been covering University payrolls since February, the state's financial crisis has been threatening since November - eight months. The current deficit. has arisen because state taxes are not due during the first two weeks of July. Funds were paid to Wayne State University because it is not constitutionally authorized to borrow money, while both the University and Michigan State University can borrow on their forthcoming student tuition. Last December, the University was forced to borrow to meet its payroll, and in January they bor- rowed: total, $4 million. Detroit banks then announced that credit to the University was being cut off and no more loans would be extended until the already-bor- rowed money was paid back. Bargain Days Student Fees Set As Loan Pledge State Fails To Meet Payment to 'U'; MSU Also By-Passed; Wayne Paid By JEAN HARTWIG The University will borrow $1 million today to meet the first payroll of its record $33.4 million budget year. Although the University was by-passed for the first time in a general sweep-out of the state treasury, operating ex- penses will be met by a short-term bank loan secured by stu, dent fees collectable in September, Wilbur K. Pierpont, vice- president in charge of business and finance, said yesterday. The loan, combined with funds already on hand, will enable the University to meet its $1.5- - have averted the two-weeks old' strike.; The industry maintained any wage increase would boost pro- duction costs and thus prove in- flationary to the nation's econ- omy. The union argued that wages could be increased out of profits without price boosts. McDonald, at a news confer- ence, assailed the industry for what he termed its "phony infla- tion issue at a time when they are rolling in unprecedented wealth." Meanwhile, Chairman Roger S. Blough of U. S. Steel, told a news conference of his own that his firm would not raise steel prices if a voluntary settlement of the' strike is achieved. He limited his pledge to this year, saying events might dictate a change of policy next year. Blough's comments followed announcement by the corporation of earnings for the first six months of 1959. Net income for the six months ended June 30 was re- ported as $254,948,496, more than any steel company has ever earned in any six months period. I R f i i _. Situation By The Associated Press IDLE-Some 500,000 striking United Steelworkers plus 78,000 employes in allied industries. NEGOTIATIONS - Federal mediators met separately with industry and union represen- tatives in New York yesterday, the 14th day of the strike. The loans were repaid fully by June, Pierpont said. The banks lend the universities money on their next expected ac- quisition of funds. The University currently expects about $4.25 million from student fees in Sep- tember, Pierpont noted. Threats of payless paydays for the University continued from February only to be squelched by the just-in-time delivery of an overdue check from the state treasury. Late in May, four days before the University payroll was due, Lansing announced that the state coffers were bare. Fortunately for the University, a federal grant came through to Michigan and the State Administrative Board hastily channeled $3 million to the University and $2.6 million to Michigan State ,University. Second. Pro Grid League Orgyanized WASHINGTON (P)-A new pro football loop plans to start oper- ating in six cities next year, Com- missioner Bert Bell of the National Football League said yesterday. Bell gave out this word while testifying before the Senate Anti- monopoly Subcommittee in favor of legislation to give professional football, baseball, basketball and hockey broad exemption from the antitrust laws. This football development came a day after an annotncement in New York that a third major baseball league expects to be in business in 1961. Checked with NFL Owners The NFL commissioner, said he had checked with owners of all 12 teams in his league and that the idea hadn't met a single ob- jection. The NFL, 40 years old this sea- son, is the only major pro football league operating in the United States. Bell declined to say who is be- hind the new league. But he testi- fied that Davey O'Brien of Fort Worth, Tex., had broached the matter with him. O'Brien was a grid star at Texas Christian in pre-World War II days. O'Brien was dsecribed by Bell as a go-between, without any financial or other connections with the projected new league. In talking with newsmen later, the NFL chief said the league's backers have plenty of money. He said O'Brien is bringing three men who are involved to see him today, perhaps in Philadelphia or Atlan- tic City. To Start Play in 1960 According to the information he has, Bell said, the new league plans to begin play in six cities in 1960 and to expand later to two additional cities. Houston, Denver and Minne apolis were listed by Bell as cer- tain starters. He said he is pretty sure the other three will be Dallas, New York and Los Angeles.

Faubus proposed yesterday to turn over two of Little Rock's four public high schools to those who want integration and keep the other two for segregationists. It was his answer to the school board's challenge to legally stop token integration, if he could, when the schools reopen Sept. 8. They were closed last. year by Faubus but now the board has a new federal mandate to desegre- gate them. HONOLULU - Democrat Daniel K. Inouye, one-armed Jap- anese-American war hero, took a commanding lead last night in .Hawaii's first state election to represent the nation's newest state in the U. S. House of Repre- sentatives. Early, unofficial returns sent the 34-year-old Inouye well on his way to becoming the first per- son of Japanese ancestry to serve in Congress.

The cynical farce about married life and love in general is directed by Prof. Hugh Z. Norton of the speech, department, and is the fourth in the department's sum- mer playbill presentations. The plot deals with a retired general whose wolfish ways are interfered with by a supposedly paralytic wife. The general writes his memoirs, flirts with the maids and reminisces about a night 20 years previously when he fell in love at a military ball. His routine is upset and the plot 'To Waltz int ContmpoaryComposer C ne r Isolated, Hitchcock Sayrs The contemporary composer often seems "far out" because he. can only find justification for what he does within himself, Prof. H. Wiley Hitchcock of the music literature department said yesterday. In his speech on "Frontiers in Music," sponsored by the Summer Session, Prof. Hitchcock said that "today's progressive composer is isolated from the general public. "In traditional music, the end of the musical experience is the performance, offered to the paying public through expensive perform- ers. In tape recorded music, the composer by-passes the perform- er and the public performance," Prof. Hitchcock continued. Emphasizes Control r Tw n "All of the new music empha- sizes rational, intellectual control by the composer over every as- - : pect of the composition. I would interpret the contemporary com- poser's urge for order and ration- al organization as the ultimate rejection of Romanticism and its emphasis on freedom, license and intuitive expression," he said. A r n o 1 d Schoenberg's serial technique (12-tone composition) has turned out to be a most im- portant tool for the composer seeking such rational control, "Actually the most important t" r frontier-crossing in contemporary I music has taken place between the two musical regions we call the The Land of 12-Tone Compo- sition and The Country of Tonal- - ity.
