LANSING - President Robben
W. Fleming took a major step
yesterday toward improving Uni-
versity-Legislature relations with
a pledge to meet personally with
legislators to work out the prob-
lems confronting the University.
"Reasonable men don't always
see eye to eye," Fleming told a
special joint session of the Legis-
lature. "But I pledge to you that
so long as I am President our dif-
ferences will be discussed with re-
spect and dignity, there will be
no arrogance, and I shall person-
ally be available to explain and,
provide information you need
about the hopes and aspirations
of the University."
However, Fleming warned the
overflowing, enthusiastic audiencek
in the House chamber, if Michi-
gan is to maintain its record of
support for higher education, ad-I
ditional dollars must be forth-
coming.
"Those of us in universities do
not live in a world isolated from
society," Fleming said. "We know
there are roads to be built, :m-
mense welfare programs to sus-
tain, urban communities to re-
construct, K-12 educational pro-
grams to support, serious prob-
lems of water and air pollution,
crime control programs and hosts
of other things which would re-
quire money," Fleming explained.
"But we also know that if we
are to do the job you should have
us do, it will require additional
dollars," he concluded.
Fleming promised the legisla-
tors that if they ask for more
funds the University would help t
in convincing the citizens of the
state that the cause of highern
education is worthy of additionalr
support.
Fleming cautioned legislators2

A proposal currently before the
State Senate Education Commit-
tee would provide for the estab-
lishment of a "higher education
building council" which would
control acquisition of land, con-
struction of buildings and issu-
ance of bonds to finance all Uni-
versity buildings, including proj-
ects that are currently self-liqui-
dating.
Senate Bill 387 sets up the
Higher Education Building Coun-
cil to maintain legislative control
of constructions The bill, if
passed, would also change the
method of financing higher edu-
cation construction from appro-
priation to bonding.
The legislative control of con-
struction is made clear in two
sections. Section 11 states that no
institution shall receive any con-
struction funds until it pledges
not to engage itself in any self-
liquidating housing projects. All
University dormitories are cur-
rently self-liquidating.
Section 13 states that no uni-
versity shall undertake any self-
liquidating academic or Dousing
construction. This section is un-
enforceable except by further'
restrictions on appropriations.

would need responsible lead-

First Program
With this thought in mind,
the Baldwins held their first
eight week program at Lisle.
N.Y., with 27 students repre-
senting 12 different nations.
Since then the program has
expanded into different areas
of the world, and has included
participants from 80 countries.
The basic form of the pro-
gram has remained the same,
with an average of about 20
stue1nts in each nroaranm
tion period, reporting their ex-
periences to the rest of the
group. New teams are formed
and different projects are as:

The last evaluation session
is devoted to a review of the
total accomplishments and
plans for future improvement.
Mark Schreiber, '69, who
spent last summer in Denmark,
called his Lisle Fellowship
work "a most exciting and re-
warding experience." After
leaving Denmark, he spent two
weeks in Czechoslovakia with

The Voice resolution, the same
as the one passed by Student
Government Council last week, is
aimed at Apartments Limited, the
largest campus area rental firm
(550 units).
Apartments Limited has thus
far refused to accept the Univer-
sity's eight-month lease, and, the
resolution states, "has accumulat-
ed the largest number of com-
plaints relating to return of dam-
age deposits, maintenance, repair,
and cleaning bills."
Mark Schreiber, '69. chairman
of the Student Rental Union
(SRU). a subcommittee of SHA,
spoke to Voice prior to the vote.
"Few other schools have 12-month
leases." Schreiber said.
"There is no such thing as a 1967

By DAVID KNOKE
A Vietnamese Buddhist monk
who has been forbidden to return
home by the Saigon government
because of his peace activities is
paying a two-day visit to the Uni-
versity as part of a nation-wide
tour.
Thich Nhat Hanh will deliver
an address tonight at 8:30 p.m.
in Rackham Lecture Hall, co-
sponsored by the Center for South
and Southeast Asian Studies and
the Office of Religious Affairs.
Tomorrow he will speak at an
informal noon luncheon at Can-
terbury House. That evening he
will meet in the fifth floor lec-
ture hall of the Medical Sciences
Bldg., with medical students to
discuss the Vietnam war.
Peace Prize Nominee
Nhat Hanh, a poet and author
who has published ten books, was
nominated by Rev. Martin Luth-
er King for the 1967 Nobel Peace
Prize.
His recent book, "Vietnam: 'Lo-
tus in a Sea of Fire," was banned
by the Saigon government but
over 100,000 copies have been
smuggled in and secretly circu-
lated.
