He punctuated that with an other warning to the West: "Who ever bumps us with his elbow will break it." The Soviet leader took the floor in high good humor after drink ing a series of toasts to peace and trade at an Impromptu luncheon given at Leipzig's mayor. He said his deadline for an end to the four-power occupation of Berlin might be postponed, if the West will negotiate sensibly. un til June 27 or maybe July 27. "We are in no hurry," he add ed, and, for what it was worth, tossed in an old Russian saying.: "Never count your chickens un til fall." Khrushchev insited the dead line is not an ultimatum. At the same time_he reiterated, that the Soviet Union will sign a separate peace treaty with Com munist East Germany, an eager potential heir to Soviet. occupa tion controls, if the West refuses to sign an all-German treaty.. His government has proposed that for eign ministers meet next month to consider the Berlin issue and a German peace treaty. In light-hearted banter with three British parliamentarians in town for Leipzig's spring trade fair, Khrushchev remarked with a smile: "I didn't come here to talk politics. I represent business circles of the Soviet Union." Gussow Exhibit to Begin Sunday in HUB Gallery The work of Roy Gussow will be exhibited in the Hetzel Union gallery from Sunday through April 2.

However, Walker would not elaborate on what the in creases would be. In the budget request to, the state legislature, Lawrence has asked $34 Million for the Uni versity for the 1959-61 biennium. This is $lO million short of Walker's request. Walker told the senators he was not too discouraged by Law rence's budget request, adding that he certainly didn't expect the $44 million the University is seeking to come easy. "However, there Is one bright side," he said. "At the last bud get request, Gov. Leader rec ommended only a 10 per cent increase. We went before the legislature and got more. "But We're farther ahead right now since Lawrence has recom mended a 15 per cent increase already." - He said that looking, at the situation from a different angle he feels sorry-for the governor who is trying to make ends meet for this biennium. The Senate meeting yester day was its shortest of the school year, lasting only 15 min utes. Business-wise, the senators give final approval to the 5-year lib eral arts-engineering curriculum, in the form• in which it was pre- 1 sented for adoption earlier. The curriculum will enable a student to study for three years in basically liberal arts courses and for two in engineering courses. He then receives a bach elor of arts and a bachelor of science degree. When this was first presented, it was returned to committee with a Senate suggestion that the two courses be more integrated ra ther than the distinct 3-2 year program. But the committee fav ored the original plan. Storm Will ,Bring Rain, Wind, Clouds A storm moving through the ,Great Lakes region will bring rain and strong, winds for to day.

FRIDAY MORNING. MARCH 6. 1959 FIVE CENTS Constitution OK'd; Assembly Altered All-University Cabinet last night approved in the first of three necessary votes the reorganization Constitution, but with a completely different legislative makeup and other changes. The Constitution was passed after a 5-hour debate by a vote of 20-2, with two members abstaining. It must be approved again in Cabinet's next two meet ings in order to go into effect. The proposed legislative as sembly was to be made up of 50 members-17 seniors, 14 juniors, 11 sophomores and 8 freshmen. The Cabinet-approved substi tute motion, made by All-Uni versity Vice President Steve Garban, calls for this kind of assembly: The number of representatives would be equal to one-fourth of one per -cent of the student body population. The seats would be equally divided among the four classes. --Collegian Photo by Lance Liebl STRAW VOTE is called for to judge the progress of the five-hour debate over the constitution of the proposed reorganized student government.

The ideology of the propo'sal—establishing government with separation of powers—re mained intact. But the Thalimer Committee's reasoning on practicality evoked much disagreement among Cab inet members with the resulting change in composition and meth od of representation. Brightening the air of fre quently complicated parliamen tary proceedings was occasional quick wit and subtle and sometimes not so subtle—hu mor among Cabinet members. In one instance there was some question as to the complications of Steve Garban's proposal to have assembly . representation based 'on - one-fourth of one per cent of each class. Seeking some statement to re- ToUrgiatt Garban, in supporting his mo tion, contended that such a per centage scale would provide flex ibility in composition as the en rollment increases. Garban also said that the pro portional representation, as pro posed, would be • unfair to the freshman class which has 'just as large an enrollment as any other class. A motion made by Louis Phil lips, president of the Liberal Arts Student Council, that the -presi dent be made head of the legisla ture as well as the executive nody was defeated by a vote of 23 to 1. Reasons given by Phillips for his motion were that the presi dent is responsible for the prop er function of government and by chairing the assembly i.e would be more informed on the legislation passed. However, members fel t that these combined powers which would he given to the president would defeat the theory of sepa ration of powers upon which the entire constitution is based.
