Cites Objection
To Reorganizing
Poverty Program
By ALISON SYMROSKI
The director of the local branch
of the Office of Economic Oppor-
tunity resigned Wednesday night
due mainly to the recent reorgan-
ization of the poverty program.
Alfred W. Pryor, director of the
Washtenaw County Citizens Coin_
mittee for Economic Opportunity
(CEO) explained last night that
the primary cause of his resigna-
tion was Congress' recent "Green
Amendment." This amendment
would designate the state, coun-
ty, or city as the primary organ-
izer of the local community ac-
tion program.
"This will destroy the original
concept of community, citizen ac-
tion," Pryor said. "The emphasiss
now is on public officials." he con-j
tinued. "The amendment turns
the program back into the hands
of the government."

EAST LANSING - Michigan
State University Vice-President
Philip J. May, currently under in-
vestigation for possible conflict of
interest, has been granted a six-
month sabbatical leave at full
pay, to begin in March 1.
May, MSU's treasurer and vice-
president for business and fi-
nance, was granted the leave
yesterday by the MSU Board of
Trustees "to study business man-
agement of other universities."
Attorney General Frank Kel-
ley launched an investigation into
May's - extra-curricular business
activities last November 9.
The investigation came the day

May said this is his first sab-
batical after 21 years with MSU
even though faculty are eligible
for six-month sabbaticals at full
pay every six years.
May said he had "just been so
busy" that he had not asked for
a leave before. "I think now is a
good time," noting that "things
will ease off now." He said the
MSU construction program is
slowing and the Legislature
"probably will get to appropria-
tions earlier this year than be-
fore."'
May said that while he hasn't
"made any set schedule" for his
sabbatical he wants to "look at
what we're doing and where we're
going to go. I want to see what's
been done at other universities-
sit down and talk with people
there."

would not change the existing
proportions.
Budget Request
At the meeting Wednesday.
Pryor said that a budget re quest.
of $99,501 has been submitted to
the OEO for this summer's Head-
Start program. Funds for the pro-
gram, which would aid 300 chil-
dren in eight centers throughout
the city, are expected within the
next two weeks, he said.
The WRAND Day Care Center
has had its license restored and
will receive $10,000 from the Yp-
silanti Community Chest Fund,
Wheeler reported.
He urged the formation of a
committee from the CEO board to
help supervise some of the activi-.
ties of the center.

curriculum for some years but has
not been taught since 1964-65.

other students echoed this refrain, regret-

created by the publicity.
"The Daily is being very moralistic about
the whole thing. It seems to be going on
everywhere and certainly doesn't deserve
the consideration being given to it," adds
Ken Montgomery, '71.
Many more students questioned the ra-
tionale behind Big Ten Rule Seven, Sec-
tion Two, which prohibits aid to athletes
over and beyond their athletic scholarships
given simply because they are athletes.
"Merchants should have the right to give
