Vol LXXVIII, No. 130 Ann Arbor, Michigan, Wednesday, March 6, 1968 Seven Cents Eiqht Pages I SGC Incorporated: Legal Autonomy at By STUART GANNES The Faculty Senate's Commit- tee on Student Relations will probably recommend to the Re- gents that Student Government Council's incorporation plan be accepted. SGC is asking the Regents to follow the precedent inaugurated in 1907 when the Michigan Union was organized as a legally auton- omous corporation under the su- pervision of students, faculty and alumni. . According to the incorporation plan, SGC would be organized as a legally autonomous, non-profit corporation whose purpose would be "to provide an agency for stu- dent partici'pation in the formu- lation, improvement, and promo- tion of the educational goals of the University of Michigan." If the legal status of SOC changes to a corporation the Council will acquire new privileges and liabilities. SGC would be able to purchase, sell and possess property, solicit funds and enter into legal contracts in its own name. It would be a legally independ- ent entity. The corporation would be fi- nanced largely through an assess- ment of its members - the stu- dents. These dues are currently being paid as part of tuition by all students to finance SGC as well as the Michigan Union and League. Any increase in the amount of assessment could only be achieved through a campus-wide referen- dum. As the proposal now stands, the University would require member- ship in SGC Incorporated as a condition for admission and en- rollment in any school or college of the University. The University would also col- lect any dues for SGC incorporat- ed as they were assessed. The plan was proposed by SGC President Bruce Kahn and Coun- cil members Michael Davis, Grad., and Sam Sherman, '68. They say the council as a corporation would be provided with something close to the adequate resources it needs to act efficiently as a student government. In addition, they say, the Coun- cil would have a larger degree of freedom from administration con- trol. Sherm'an says SOC Incorporated will "provide more alternatives for communal action on the part of students through their stu- dent government without chang- ing the recognized role of that body in the University com- munity." When the Regents meet they will have the recommendations of Vice-President for Student AM- fairs Richard L. Cutler and -the Faculty Senate's Committee on Student Relations. The student relations commit- tee, headed by Prof. Leonard Greenbaum of the engineering English department, has been considering the incorporation of SOC for the past few weeks. In a preliminary vote two weeks ago, the committee approved SOC's incorporation by a 5 to 3 vote. The three dissenting votes were cast by Professors H. D. Cameron of the classical studies department, George West of the engineering college, and Irvin Copi of the philosophy depart- ment. Cameron says he voted against the proposal because "I thought in was unnecessary, and although 1 don't have any serious obj ec - ticns to the plan, I don't feel in- corporation is the answer." He adds that he felt incorpora- tion really didn't solve the prob- lem SOC has - be4ing more rep- resentative of the student body, and graduate students in par- ticular. "I really don't feel SOC ade- (luately represents the interests. of graduate students and it seems unjust for them to pay SUC dues," Cameron says. However, the two graduate stu- dents on the committee voted 'n favor of SOC Incorporated. Grad- uate Assembly President Stu Katz says he feels an incorporated SGC could be worked out which would be equitable to graduate students. He adds, "The dues question is .not implicit in the reasons for incorporating SOC." West, xWho says he doesn't feel very strongly either way about the issue, explains. "I think there is little to be gained by incorpor - sting SGC on the basis of the ar- guments advanced for it." West notes that the responsi- bilities SOC would incur "i- pressed me as activities not con- ducive to the education process." West adds "I don't think the Regents will appiove it anyway." Copi. howeyer, is unwilling to take a definite stand on the issue. "I am still thinking about it," he says, "and when the committee reconsiders the proposal I will be in a better position to make a de- cision on it." One of the professors on the committee who supports SOC In- corporated, Robert Knauss of the Law School, said the independ- ence gained from an incorporated SOC "might serve as a basis 1.0 revitalize the student govern- ment." When the committee meets this Friday it will make a final evalu- ation of SOC's incorporation pro- Issue posal. Their r'ecommnenda tion will be forwarded to Cutler who will in turn report to the Regents. Prof. Cameron notes the comn- mittee's recommendation will probably have little effect on the Regents' decision since the vot~e won't be unanimous. "It seems ~we will only be endorsing incor- pora tion haif-heartedly," he says. West adds, "our recommenda- tion will probably mean quite little to the Regents. Whatever the Regents decide, SOC members feel incorporation is essential for Council. Michael Davis notes, "Incorporation will make a major difference in what SGC will be able to do." Davis concludes, "If SOC doesn't incorporate under the present plan, the University will have to find some other way for funding the council in order for it to maintain its current obliga- tions."

VOTING N EXT WEEK Resac D on SGC Ballot By MARTIN HIRSCHMAN Referenda asking the University to end classified research and withdraw from the Institute for Defense Analyses will be on the ballot in the Student Government Council elections next week. - The referenda will appe'ar on the bal- lot next Tuesday and Wednesday along with candidates for SOC offices, the boards-in-control of athletics and stu- dent publications, constitutional conven- tion representatives and senior class of- ficers. ,The referenda read, "Shall the Univer- sity cease all classified research?" and. "Shall the University cease being a mem- ber of the Institute for Defense Analyses?" Voice-SDS members and SOC candi- dates, who have been visiting University * fraternities and sororities to solicit sup- port for the referenda, are pushing for a large "yes" vote on both of them. In this way they hope to pressure the University administration into ending classified re- The University has been a corporate member of IDA since 1959. It is a 12- university consortium which provides the Department of Defense with scientific studies in national security. Each of the three candidates for SGC president has spoken againsf, classified research at the University anid favors with- drawal from IDA. The candidates are Mike Koeneke, '69BAd; D. Panther White, '69; and Mark Schreiber, '69. Koeneke says he is basing his whole campaign on the classified research is- sue. He says classified research is "against free and open inquiry which is necessary for the proper functioning of the Uni- versity." He says he is willing to take "necessary action" such as a sit-in at the University's Willow Run Laboratories (WRL) in Ypsi- lanti if the referendum on classified re- search gets an overwhelming "yes" vote. Student concern with these questions results largely from the report issued in Schrelber says that in addition to other factors, "non-academic criteria are used in selection of the faculty and students" who may do classified work. "The results of the referenda must be heeded by the administration," Schreiber adds Voice member Bruce Levine, '71, says that as a corporate member of IDA, "the University is legitimizing wholesale slaugh- ter." He calls IDA "a front for the gov.- ernment to slip academic types into the military," and says the University's parti- cipation "makes everybody in the Univer- sity a member." Levine sees the problem of classified research as a non-political one. "While war research is against my politics," he says, "classified research is against my concept of the University. "For example." he says "'Project 1111 doesn't leave the University any autonomy. The autonomy is slipping down the drain.
