A Senate-House corn: mittee voted to give Secre tary of Defense Neil H. McElroy limited authority in the field. The development came a short time after it was disclosed Presi dent Eisenhower has ordered a special survey to determine which branch of the government should be entrusted with the nation's vi tal space program. There has been considerable sentiment for putting it under a civilian agency. Working on a compromise ver sion. of a $549:670;000 defense au thorization bill, the Senate-House conference committee agreed to give the secretary of defense au thority to, develop missiles and other advanced weapons systems through any agency he desires to set up. The secretary also would be empowered, for one year from the effective dale of the act, to work on "such advance space projects as may be assigned by She President" This could in clude satellite projects. Approval of both the House and Senate is required before the bill can go to the President. There is a likelihood of sharp debate on 1 the question in both chambers. The proposed compromise au thorizes the secretary of defense to take full control "in the field of basic and applied research and development pertaining to wea pons systems and military re quirements." Elections Group Votes Against Rotation System The All-University Elections Committee last night un animously voted to recommend to All-University Cabinet that the fraternity-independent rotation system provision be deleted from the Elections Code. The recommendation will be presented to Cabinet at its next meeting. If Cabinet approves , , the spring elections will bet /d Uyer 2.00 conducted without restrictions i being placed on any candidate's : affiliation. Elections Committee Chair- A pp l y For man Peter Fishburn told the committee: "I'll back this the whole way personally. I think nsurance what you did is right." The present rotation system is provided for in Article 3 of the Elections Code, which states: "An independent man shall: never oppose a fraternity man in any election. The offices of All- University president and senior class president shall be rotated between fraternity and inde-' pendent students each year, and. in no year shall the All-Univer-, sity president and the senior class, president be of the same affiha-1 tion "The All-University president and the All-University secre tary-treasurer shall be of the same affiliation each year. The All-University vice president will be of the opposite affiliation as the All-University presi dent." The code also provides for the rotation of the affiliation of the senior, junior, and sophomore class officers. {student, by paying the next $lOO, WDFM Continuity Staff will be compensated for 80 per :Will Meet Tomorrow icent of his remaining expenses up to 57500.
