Oxford Plan
By NADINE COHODAS
At a meeting yesterday with
Director of University Housing
John Feldkamp, a group of rep-
resentatives from Oxford Hous-
ing presented a list of reasons
why the women's co-ops should
not be partially converted into
$ men's co-ops or houses for two
sororities on campus.
Among the objections present-
ed were the financial need of wo-
men presently living in Oxford
as well as the lack of similar low
cost housing for next year if the
two co-ops are converted.
After listening to the argu-
ments, Feldkamp explained that
according to his statistics only 14
out of a possible 120 girls re-
turned to Oxford Housing from
last year, well below the average
33 per cent return rate in other;
'U' housing. "With the evidence
we have, Oxford is not in de-
mand," Feldkamp told the group.
Several Oxford representatives,
however, pointed out that the 14,
girls who were listed as returnees
only included those girls who re-
turned to the same house. They
explained several other girls re-
turned to different co-ops still
within the Oxford complex but*
were not included in the list.
Feldkamp said that the two
sororities, Alpha Kappa Alpha
and Delta Sigma Theta, want the,
benefits of living in a "sorority"
' atmosphere. At present they do
not have sorority houses, and ac-
cording to Panhel officials. have
been hampered in conducting
normal sorority functions like
Camnpus Hiousing today.
The GA resolution commits the
assembly to "support and lend
all possible co-operation to SHA!
and SRU" in their proposed boy-4
'Cott.
Apartments Limited was named
in the resolution as having "ac-
cumulated the largestnumber of
complaints relating to return of
damage deposits, maintenance, re-
pair, cleaning bills, etc. with the
SRU complaint service."
Apartments Limited refused to
use the new University lease at

feating Howard Brilliant.

Governor George Romney yesterday recommended to
the state Legislature an appropriation of $64.7 million for
the University's 1968-69 gneral fund budget, as part of an
over-all state budget of $1.3 billion.
The Governor's recommendation represents a 9.4 per
cent increase over the 1967-68 University appropriation, the
lowest percentage increase recommended for any state col-
lege or university.
The recommendation is $11 million below the $75.8 mil-
lion requested by the University in October.
Romney also recommended a $7.4 million appropriation
for University construction. The University had requested
$18 million.
The University received $59.1 million last year after
Romney recommended $362.4 million forcing substantial
tuition hikes. Lansing sour-
ces indicate the Governor's
$64.7 million recommendation
will be a top figure for this
year's appropriation.
University President Robben W.
Fleming said yesterday he was
"disappointed" in the Governor's
recommendation. He said the Uni-
versity's estimated needs would
require a budget increase of $8
million rather than the proposed
$.5.5 million figure.

WASHINGTON - Secretary of
State Dean Rusk said yesterday
the North Korean seizure of the
Navy intelligence ship Pueblo could
be described as "an act of war."
Rusk advised the North Koreans
to "cool it" and said they would
be "well advised to pull back here.'
The nuclear powered aircraft

corts were reported taking posi-
tion in the Sea of Japan. South
Korean sources in Seoul said the

ments.

state budget for fiscal 1968-69,
the highest ever sought by a Mich-
igan Governor. These funds, com-
bined with restricted funds and
general fund special_ purpose
money, would add up to a total
state operating budget of $2.73
billion.
In reaction to Detroit's recent
riots, the, proposed budget in-
cludes a request to double the
State Civil Rights Commission's
present $1.4 million appropriation
and sets aside an additional $5.5
million toward maintenance of
law and order. This includes a
23 per cent hike in the State Po-
lice budget to allow for the ad-
dition of 20 detectives and 225
troopers, new communications
equipment and more training.
"This administration is pledged
to take such steps as are neces-
sary toncurbvviolence in our
streets and reverse a mounting
disrespect for law and order,"
Romney said in introducing the
requests.
The proposed appropriation for
the University is part of a total
budget of $299 million recom-
mended by the Governor for op-
eration of the state's 11 degree-
granting universities and colleges.
aRomney recommended an ap-
propriation of $62.3 million for
Michigan State University, $8
million less than the $70.3 mil-
lion requested. Wayne State Uni-
versity received a recommenda-
tion of $38.7 million as compared
a $44.6 million requested.
Capital outlay appropriations
recommended by Romney for all
of Michigan's state-supported
universities and colleges totaled
$56 million.
The Governor's budget request
will now be considered by the
Senate Appropriations Commit-
tee. The University made a pre-
sentation before that committee
in December.

SALEM, Ore. W/P) - The Oregon
Supreme Court yesterday unani-
mously affirmed the contempt of
court conviction of Annette Bu-
chanan, formerU niversity of
Oregon student editor.
Miss Buchanan was fined $300
for refusing to disclose the names
of seven students who gave her
a story about use of marijuana on
the campus,
Miss Buchanan, now Mrs. Mi-
chael Conard, argued that the
constitutional provision for a free
press gave her the right to with-
hold the identity of confidential
news sources.
The Daily Emerald printed a
story by Mrs. Conard of a pot
party held on the Oregon campus
in May, 1966. Former Dist. Atty.
William F. Frye then subpoenaed
Mrs. Conard into court. When she
refused to name the students who
had attended the party, Judge
John B. Leavy of Lane County
fined her $300.
Mrs. Conard's attorney, Arthur
Johnson, told The Daily that Mrs,
Conard's chances in the Supreme
Court "could be very good."
The Oregon court decision,
by Justice A. T. Goodwin, said,
"We hold merely that nothing in
the state or federal constitution
compels the courts, in the ab-
sence of a statute, to recognize
such a privilege.'

Introduced as a "voice for black unity"
Detroit's controversial clergyman, Rev.
Albert Cleage, last night outlined the ra-
tionale and movement of black national-
ism in America's cities.
"I don't have to advocate separatism,"
Cleage claimed, "because it is built into
the fabric of American society. I just
want to utilize separation for our benefit
rather than continue to let it be used
for our exploitation."
Cleage, the head of the Federation for
Self-Determination which was established
which is necessary for self-determina-
tion, poses no threat except in the minds
of white people, according to Cleage.
Whites fear it because "black power
would require giving up of the white
power exercised so ruthlessly in black
communities" said the man who recently
rejected a $100,000 Ford Foundation ur-
ban re-development grant because it had
"strings attached."
Integration proved to be only an "im-
possible dream" explained Cleage. "Martin
Luther King's march in Cicero made
blacks realize that northern whites were
worse than southern ones."
existed. We have decided to be free and
will use any means necessary."
To Cleage the strength of the black
community lies in the self-consciousness
that "black is beautiful." This aware-
ness will allow blacks to "stop feeling
ashamed," and to discover their own
past. ;
"This self-consciousness brings a sense
of pride," Cleage said, which will per-
mit "blacks to see through the vast tis-
sues of lies fabricated by the white man.
"The establishment of black student
organizations on college campuses is a
big step in the building of the black
cal-imnna " rClen e, arted.
Fleming explained yesterdayj
that although the Governor's
recommended budget is small, it
is considerably better than last
year, which was disastrous."
"While we have not had time
to analyze the Governor's mes-
sage, we note that the increases
are said to provide funds for ad-
ditional faculty and other staff
for added enrollment, for salary
increases equal to those given to
Civil Service employes, to meet
inflationary price increases, and
to provide for new building main-
tenance, and selected improve-
ments in library, computer zerv-
ices and other programs," he
said.
