The 33 year old mentor wasl supervising the dismantling of div-t ing equipment in Connecticut whenf the accident occurred. Uncon-z scious after the fall, Harlan was rushed to a hospital with headc and shoulder injuries. He neverc regained consciousness. The accident occurred in Fair-c field, Conn, where Harlan's swim-t ming and diving troup had been s making an appearance. With him on the tour were his wife, Frances,t and their children, Freddie, four,t and Laura, seven.c Returned from Bermuda The troup had originally comes from Bermuda where the Harlans1 had vacationed earlier this month.t Harlan both coached and per-t formed in the water show., Harlan and swimming coach Gus Stager are generally con-1 sidered to be one of the mainF reasons for Michigan's rise to the' top in Big Ten swimming circles.I Harlan was named diving coachr in 1954 after the retirement of Michigan swimming mentor Matt Mann. Harlan and Stager formed a potent coaching combination, lift- ing Michigan to two consecutive- NCAA swimming championships in 1958 and 1959. The 1959 team is "considered by many experts as the most powerful in Michigan history, and one of the strongest teams ever developed at any school. Won Titles Harlan was born in Landsdown, Pa. and while in high school he 'was a champion pole-vaulter and wrestler. He learned to dive while in the Navy during 1944 and 1945. In 1946 Harlan won the National AAU springboard diving title. Harlan developed into one of the world's greatest divers, winning 20 major diving championships, the most ever accomplished by an American diver. At one time he was NCAA, National AAU, Big Ten and Olympic title holder. Since Harlan came to Michigan, the Wolverine diving squad has compiled one of the best records in twenty years. In 1955 Jim Walters won the Big Ten title; in 1957 Dick Kimball won the NCAA title; and marks said he could not continue to be a member of the committee and consider a plan directly con- trary to his beliefs. In the discussion that preceded this action both he and Barbara Maier, '59, former League presi- dent and another student mem- ber, voiced heatedly their oppo- sition to any form of review not limited to jurisdictional questions or procedural irregularities. Vote for Motions In place of "unreasonable ac- tion" they moved that SGC's de- cisions be subject to review only in cases "contrary to the great weight of evidence." This motion was defeated by a seven to two vote. The only two votes cast in favor were those of Wise and Miss Maier. The other criteria for review, procedural irregularities and jur- isdiction, were approved without lengthy debate. In supporting their motion Wise and Miss Maier said one of the main purposes of the committee was to rid the SGC plan of any ambiguities it contained. If the plan read "unreasonable action" this would only add another am- biguity, they claimed. Legal Point Ron Gregg, '60, SOC president and the third student member of the committee, differed with this view, saying the difference be- tween the two points is only a very narrow legal point and is not really important. He also said that if "unreason- able action" was not left in the plan it would be impossible for the committee on referral to give advice in' many cases where it might be helpful. Wise said that the review should only come on basic issues and not on small ones in which there might be only a difference of opinion. He insisted that since the Council had passed a motion stating it was only in favor of "contrary to the great weight of the evidence," any vote against this would be a vote against one of the three parties of the plan. However, Gregg added that since the motion had been passed, he had talked to members of the Council and the majority seemed to support the review being also based on "unreasonable action." In answering a question put to him by one of the students, Vice- President for Student Affairs James A. Lewis said he inter- preted "unreasonable action" as meaning substantive review.

Creal's veto of Ann Arbor's Urban Renewal Plan. The non-action followed a long procedural tangle. Confusion and frustration caused by it were apparently two reasons nothing was done to sustain the veto, according to Councilwoman Florence R. Crane. One supporter of the plan, Councilman A. Nelson Dingle was ab- sent from the meeting, and another, Councilman James Brinkerhoff, President Plans 'Talk On Futurej President Harlan Hatcher will i n i t i a t e the Summer Lecture Series at 4:15 p.m. today with a talk in Aud.

Creal yesterday vetoed Council's actions of the previous week which backed the renewal plan. Council now has 30 days to act on the veto, and needs eight of 11 votes to reverse Creal. Only six members approved the plan last week. How much mroe delay the fed- eral government will put up with is not clear. It originally asked for the final submission of the plan by June 1, but later extended the date to June 15. It would pay two-thirds of the net cost of the project. At last night's meeting, Mrs. SCranebegan debate on Creal's veto by moving to postpone action on it for two weeks. The motion was seconded. Councilman George Keebler made a substitute motion to sustain the veto, and his mo- tion was seconded. After considerable discussion of procedure, Assistant City At- torney S. J. Elden said he thought both motions should be ruled out of order -- Mrs. Crane's since no action was under discussion, and Keebler's since it was inappropri- ate as a substitute. Both were de- clared out of order. Council did approve the crea- tion of a committee proposed by Creal to work on voluntary re- habilitation in the area and the rest of the city. House Passes School Aid Bill LANSING (MP)-The House last night approved a 30-million-dollar increase in state school aid for the fiscal year that starts July 1. The bill passed with surprising ease on a 73 to 13 vote despite strong opposition from the House Ways and Means Committee. It now moves on the Senate, where there is considerable senti- ment against any increase. ould Increase Operatng Funds Faculty Salary Boosts Expected If Legislature Approves Measure By THOMAS HAYDEN The University's future - financially and perhaps aca- demically - rests with the troubled Michigan legislature as it convenes tonight in Lansing. Senate Bill 1076, authorizing an 11 per cent increase in University operating funds for the 1959-60 fiscal year, should be passed without much change this week, observers in Lan- sing and Ann Arbor report. After Senate action, the House of Representatives still must consider the appropriation.

Romance runs high for every- one involved, to the tune of countless song-and-dance rou- tines and flapper-prompted hi- jinks. Directed by Prof. William P. Halstead of the speech depart- ment, "The Boyfriend" is the first in the department's five-point summer playbill. Dance director is Prof. Esther Pease of the physi- cal education department with Paul Miller directing the orches- tra. Wilson's spoofing of the era's spirit has been well-received, both in London where it is still play- ing, and in New York, where it ran for two years beginning in 1954. Wilson, not yet born when the era the burlesques came in, fur- nished book, lyrics and music for the show. He was rewarded with critical praise ranging from Brookes At- kinson's comment that the author "has a knack for coating the ob- vious with humor" to Walter F. Kerr's judgment that the play is a "wonderfully tinny triumph" and a "romantic adolescent love- letter to a girl in a cloche hat." The final lecture will be deliv- ered by Prof. John Ciardi, of the Rutgers University English de- partment, who will speak on "Adam and Eve and the Third Son" at 4:15 p.m., July 27.

Sentencing came seven weeks after the crime. Circuit Judge W. May Walker told the four sternly they had committed a horrible crime and were lucky to escape the electric chair. He recommended that they direct any appeal they might have to God. A life sentence for rape in Florida customarily means serv- ing at least 10 years in prison, although they would become eli- gible for parole after six months. Herter Speaks of Red Talls On Television By The Associated Press WASHINGTON - Secretary of State Christian A. Herter will go on nation-wide television and ra- dio tonight to tell the American people about the thus-far futile efforts to reach agreement with the Russians regarding Berlin and other problems. Sec. Herter's 15-minute broad- cast starting at 8 p.m. (EST) will be carried live by all the major radio networks and by the NBC and CBS television networks. ABC-TV will carry a delayed broadcast at 9:30 p.m. Yesterday Sec. Herter gave President Dwight D. Eisenhower an hour-long report on the dead- locked Geneva foreign ministers talks, now recessed until July 13. Sec. Herter said he reported to the President in general terms and that they discussed "just where we are" in efforts to ease If the measure passes both houses, the three million dollar boost would free funds to improve faculty salaries - called the Uni- versity's greatest concern by Pres- ident Harlan Hatcher. Lucrative job offers to Univer- sity faculty members continue at a dangerous rate from other schools and industry, according to University officials. University Vice-President and Dean of Faceulties Marvin L. Nie- huss said, "This is a gratifying in- dication of the Legislature's rec- ognition of the need for faculty salary increases." However, while at least partial- ly satisfying the need for raised faculty pay scales the proposed $33.4 million appropriation falls nearly six million dollars short of the total $39.2 million requested by the University. The allocation of $33.4 million was proposed last week by the Republican-controlled Senate Ap- propriations committee, headed by Sen. Elmer Porter (R-Bliss- field). The recommendation slashes by about $750,000 Gov. G. Mennen, Williams' request for an appro- priation of $34,275,050 to the Uni- versity. The bill, in its total, seeks $100.8 million for the state's nine pub- lically-financed schools and uni- versities,"$13million*more than this year's appropriation of $87 million. Breakdown of proposed appro- priations for all nine schools, in- cluding per cent increase over the 1958-59 sum, is as follows: Michigan State University, $27,719,768, increase of $2.4 mil- lion, or 9.5 per cent. Wayne State University, $14,- 794,457, increase of $5 million, or 52 per cent. Central Michigan, $2,657,545, increase of $252,545, or 10.5 per cent. Western Michigan, $4,444,915, increase of $769,915, or 21 per' cent. earliest point in the University's history. The college's quota of 1,900 freshmen for the fall semester was reached May 15, Gayle C. Wilson, associate director of admissions, said yesterday. No new applica- tions are being considered for ad- mission, he explained, but a few students who previously had sub- mitted incomplete applications are being enrolled. The total size of the freshman class will be about 3,100 - essen- tially the same as last year due to the limited funds on which the University must operate. The dental hygiene unit of the dental school has also been closed to applicants, but the other seven schools and colleges open to freshmen are still admitting stu- dents and none are "dangerously near" their quotas, Wilson pointed out. Only 39 may enter the two-year dental hygiene curriculum each year, he commented, and. it has traditionally closed its doors to applicants early in the year due to the "highly competitive" na- ture of the program and the strictly limited quota. Although applications increased only slightly this year, Wilson ex- plained, those who applied seemed to have "more serious in- tentions" of attending the Univer- sity, with the result that enroll- ment totals in general are ahead of last year. "We didn't have large numbers of 'shoppers'," he added attribut- ing this to the fact that the Uni- versity has initiated a $50 deposit due when the student accepts ad- mission. The curtailed budget given to the University by the state legis- lators last year necessitated the introduction of quotas, Wilson said.- Each unit of the University also works on quotas for transfer stu- dents, but none will be filled until mid-summer, he estimated. The admissions office is now process- ing a large number of applica- tions from transfers. TOP OPPORTUNITIES: Daily Seeks Staff Writers for Summer Do you want a quiet, relaxed and creative summer?
