voted yesterday to recommend
that the faculty senate adopt the
Elderfield report on classified re-,
search.
In doing so, they defeated the
resolution by Prof. Robert Angell,
of the department of sociology,
which urged the abolition of all
classified research at the Uni-
versity.
The vote came in a special meet-
ing called expressly for the pur-
pose of considering a policy on
classified research. The meeting

beginning of yesterday's special
meeting by Prof. Martin Gold, of
the department of psychology, ur-
ged "that this faculty recommend
to the faculty senate the adopt-k
tion of the Jan. 16, 1968 report
of its committee on research po-
licy and to implement that re-
port by establishing the review
committee specified in the four
policy statements as its guide-
lines."

resolution. The Gold resolution
was then passed, 85-61. Both votes
represent about 15 per cent of
the LSA faculty.
The four policy statements would
prohibit:
" Contracts aimed at destroy-
ing human life.
*"Constracts restraining the
University's freedom to dislose the
existence or sponsor of the con-
tract..
! Contracts restraining the
University from discussing the
project's purpose or from inform-
ing otherscientists of its results.
* Contracts needing the ap-
proval of an outside agency for
dissemination of their findings,
unless the research would make
"a significant contribution to the
~advancement of knowledge" or
"enhance the capability of the
researcher or his unit."
Angell's resolution had urged a
policy "prohibiting the acceptance
of contracts which specify that'
results be kept secret." It also urg-
ed that the Regents disengage the
University from contracts incon-
sistent with this policy.
The adopted resolution now goes
before the faculty senate at its"
Monday meeting. If it passes, it
will go to the Regents for ap-
proval.
Commenting on the faculty's
action, literary college Dean Wil-
liam Haber said. "This is an is-
sue of crucial significance in the
educational mission of the Uni-
versity. It is clear after today's full
and vigorous debate that the fa-
culty is strongly divided on this
topic. While the motion to request
the Regents to establish a policy
prohibiting acceptance of con-'
tracts by the University which
specified the results be secret was
defeated, the vote was not over-
wbelmingly one-sided."
"It seems to me," he continued,
"that a majority of the faculty
felt that the senate committee on
research policy, in proposing to
set up review procedures, was moreI
likely to overcome the most ob-
jectionable features of classified
research than the proposal thatj
sought its total elimination."

The Big Ten investigation of
University athletic p r a c t i c e s
swung into gear yesterday as As-

Exr John D. Dewey interviewed
members of The Daily staff about
stories concerning apparent vio-
lations of conference rules.
Dewey and University Assistant
Athletic Director Bert Katzen-

Clark Norton and reporter How-

of discounts. free merchandise and
theater tickets given to athletes
by local merchants.

These practices are in apparent
violation of conference regulation

hibits athletes from accepting
special aid beyond their scholar-
ship for any athletic achieve-

"The investigation is just in its
beginning stages," Dewey said
yesterday. "Right now we are try-
ing to see how extensive'our work
is going to be. It may be that so
many people are involved that
some other investigators will have
to come to town. So I can't say
at this time. how long the probe
will last."
Katzenmeyer said. "I will be
with him (Dewey) until the in-
vestigation is completed. The
athletic department is as anxious
as anyone else to cooperate fully
with the Big Ten in every way."
The Athletic Board is also con-j
ducting its own probe into the;
situation.
Concern Local Businesses
The allegations under examina-
tion concern five local businesses.
"All I can do now is investigate
the allegations," Dewey remarked
yesterday. "I'll look into every-

By STEVE NISSEN
President Robben W. Fleming
has asked the Senate Advisory
Committee on University Affairs
to consider the possibility of in-
vestigating CIA activity on cam-
pus.
Fleming sent a letter yesterday
to Prof. Frank Kennedy of the
Law School, chairman of- SACUA,
asking for recommendations on
whether there should be an in-
vestigation and. if so, how it
should be conducted.
Fleming's request did not ar-
rive in time for consideration by
SACUA at its regular bi-weekly
meeting. SACUA chairman Frank
Kennedy said he had not talked
to Fleming about the request.
In a related development, the
executive committee of the In-
stitute for Social Research met
yesterday to discuss problems in-
volving CIA activity in the insti-
tute.
According to ISR Assistant Di-
rector Stanley Seashore, the com-
mittee "reviewed the issue and
decided not to take any action."
Seashore would not discuss any
further details of the meeting nor
would six other members of the
committee who were contacted
last night.
Student Government Council
passed a resolution Thursday de-
manding the University conduct

a full investigation into the ex-
tent and nature of CIA activity
on campus.
The resolution requests that
the investigation be carried out'
by a joint committee of students;
and faculty. SGC demanded that,
the committee report its findings
no later than March 15.
CIA contacts are "potentially
harmful to the ISR," Prof. Arnold
Tannebaum, program director off
ISR, explained. "I think we
should carefully think through a
policy designed to minimize if
not eliminate these contacts," he
said.

"I would suppose that the ad-

administrative staff is already

there, But I hope that when we
make up the budget we can move

for the college. We ought to be
able to accomplish it in two or
three years."
Literary School Dean William
Haber also was optimistic about
independent financing for the col-
lege. "The college will have its
own budget, as a separate line item
of the literary school," he said. "It
will probably take two or three
yeas, but there's no danger of

as the availability of adequate space,

And at the same time, they must

The Office of Academic Affairs con-

Nevertheless, as state institutions the
