John Lottier, '68, associate editorial director of The Daily, was also on the panel. Kahn went on to say that "stu- dents should be telling the Uni- versity that they no longer expect *dministrators to make the rules for their lives." The University can give in on many issues," he said, "things that they can afford to do without, things that lie at the periphery of what the Univer- sity is all about-like women's hours." Unique Conflict Feldkamp viewed the women's hours conflict as "unique" in Uni- versity life. The Regental review of the Board of Governors of the Residence Halls' decision was also labeled unique. Last month the board voted unanimously to al- lAy individual houses to deter- mine their own rules on hours and visitation policy. Kahn accused the University administration of "head-hiding"- the administration "looks the other way instead of solving the problem, instead of helping the tudent." All three members of the debate examined the role of the Reed and Knauss Reports on student participation. Feldkamp explained that both reports commit the University "to leveloping the students to their maximum capabilities" and to the idea that students should be in- cluded at every level of the Uni- versity life. This includes rules on student conduct.

Recruiters Resolution Prompted By Dow Appearance At 'U' in February By ROB BEATTIE A resolution calling for per- sons or organizations using Uni- versity facilities for recruiting purposes to hold open discussions concerning their activities and policies was passed by Graduate Assembly at its meeting last night. The resolution was prompted by the announcement that the Dow Chemical Company will be re- cruiting on campus in February. Th6 demonstrations which oc- cured during a visit by a Marine Corps recruiter last November also helped prompt the motion- ing, according to GA President Roy Ashmall. Ashmall explained that the policy proposed by the resolution would require recruiting organi- zations to make their purposes open to the University commun- ity. "Organizations will be able to express their opinions, and members of the University will be able to ask questions about them," he pointed out.

The Knauss Report was issued3 in 1965 by a committee createdI by the Faculty Senate composed; of five faculty and 10 students. Kahn said that the Reed and Knauss Reports were "irrelevant! *t this time. Students should be making their own conduct rules."' Robertson, chairman of the selec-: tion committee, explained, "A- wards will be given only to those who qualify." He said he expects more nominations before the Jan.I 15 deadline. To be eligible, a candidate must have completed one full year as a teaching fellow at the Univer- sity and must be teaching cur-y rently. Those who have two years' experience and are academic counselors are also eligible. Evidence of effectiveness as a The award for "excellence in teaching and counseling" has been "plagued by the problem of how to get students involved," Fitzpatrick said. There are two students on the committee, one appointed by Student Government Council and one by Graduate Assembly. "Information on awards was mailed to student organizations, housing units and department heads," said Mrs. Joan Ringel, assistant director of student or- ganizations. However, the response from these groups was not very good. I "We should have a mountain of nominations," said Prof. Leslie Bassett of the music school, and a member of the committee. "This is a timely chance to give recog- nition to teaching fellows who do an outstanding job." "Almost all of them will be professors in a few years," he continued.

"Everyone can come re- gardless of their policies, but they are required to discuss what they stand for" under the resolu- tion's stipulations. Complete Spectrum In debate on the resolution one speaker pointed out that one func- tion of a university is to make possible the exploration of the complete spectrum of viewpoints. Because of this, GA adopted the discussion policy for its facilities and urged the University to do the same. By RICHARD WINTER YPSILANTI - America is the most racist country in the world and its blacks are as racist as its whites, according to Dick Gregory, comedian and civil rights activist "We've got a right to hate you just like you hate us," he ex- plained. The bearded Gregory appeared weak during his two-hour speech last night at Eastern Michigan University. He is recuperating from a 40-day fast, lasting from Thanksgiving to New Year's Day,, in "sympathy with the suffering of both sides" in the Vietnam war. The "NAACP's a n s w e r to Twiggy," as he described himself, went from 155 to 103 pounds dur- ing his fast. Gregory warned that America had "better wake up and find out how deeply we are racist. But we are so sick and insane, we refuse to admit that racism exists. We inherited it." Gregory combined humor with serious social commentary in pointing up the deep problems this country faces. Unless things change soon, he contends, "this country won't last." "We Negroes don't want any special favors. We just want our rights as guaranteed in the Con- stitution. The white folks can take the civil rights bill, and we'll take the Constitution." Speaking of the riots of the past several summers, Gregory said that although he is non- violent, "it's not realistic to ig- Improved 'U' Press Evolves; Design Excellence Leads Way i } r s s i that favor back. "Why does everyone get so up- set about black violence and not about white violence?" he asks. While proposing no solutions, he warned that we're not going to put up with the insults" much longer. "You can call me 'nigger,' but don't spit on me while you're saying it." He explained that Negroes, in general "don't hate white folks,E we hate the system." For it is the system, he claims, that made theI Negro the second class citizen he is. "You are right, we're dirty. You made us dirty." The problem with this country is not air pollution, he continued, "It's moral pollution. We lie from1 one end of this country to the other. The politicians, he added, are the "worst breed" of liars. "I , have absolutely no respect for politicians." Commenting at an earlier press, conference on the 1968 Presi- dential hopefuls, he called Gov- ernor Romney "the most ethical, honest politician" in the race. Sen. Eugene McCarthy (D- Minn.), running as a peace can- didate, "doesn't have an answer to the war. He makes no sense'" according to Gregory. And Sen.

He also feels that it is , before the Chinese drop the bomb about time that "our folks" take, on the U.S." BULLETINS NEW YORK (4)-Columbia University said it has ended its seven-week ban against on- campus military recruiting. Re- cruiting ' was suspended last November in protest against Selective Service director Lt. Gen. Lewis Hershey's directive to local draft boards to re- classify individuals who partici- pate in anti-draft or anti-war demonstrations. NEW YORK (AP'-After spend- ing nearly six hours of sanc- tuary in the Cuban Mission to the United Nations, Black Power advocate H. Rap Brown late last night walked quietly from the mission, got into a waiting cab and drove off to an undisclosed destination. Brown had earlier sought re- fuge from a policeman chasing him for alleged misconduct. (See earlier story, Page 3.) Gregory has threatened to dis- rupt the Democratic National Convention to be held in Chicago next August. He said he feels that it is an "insult to pick Chi- cago for the convention site. This choice is as if the Democratic Party was endorsing the repres- sive administration . . .of (Chica- go Mayor) Richard C. Daley." Eleven Candidates Contest Five City Council Vacancies By DAN SHARE For 24 years the University of Michigan Press has churned out the scholarly tomes and detailed monographs which gather dust in obscure corners of the General Library stacks. But things have changed in the last few years, and By MICHAEL ROBERTS 1 Two University public health3 school faculty members are among 11 candidates running for five' seats on the Ann Arbor City, ouncil in the election slated for Aril 1. Both Professors Richard D. Remington and Max Sham willI run onC the Democratic ticket.. Remington will contest Norma Kraker in the First Ward while Shain will face Joseph Edwards, ~epublican candidate for the "Third Ward seat. The Third Ward incumbent, Prof. Robert Weeks of the en- gineering English department, a democrat, is stepping down at the end of the current term. The 11 candidates will include ,;nly two incumbents, a Democrat and a Republican. Of the five' seats being contested, three are currently held by Democrats, leaving only one uncontested seat in Democratic hands. In the contested seats, Republi- zan James E. Stephenson will op- ,jose Democrat Russell West in the Fourth Ward. They are com- peting for the seat being vacated by Robert Jagitsch. The Second Ward race features nemocrat Ernest Ouenon chat- of the Fourth Ward: and Brian R. Connelly of the Fifth Ward. The lone Democratis H. C. Curry of the First Ward.. The Republicans now hold a 7-4 majority on the council. The Democrats would have to win all . five contested seats, something they have not done before, to take control. as well as for quality of material. This was not always so. The change of emphasis began in 1954 when Fred Wieck became! director. He brought about " a particular pride in graphic ex- cellence," according to Gosling.:" With the appointment of Gosling" to the directorship in 1962 the' Press improved its status as in- novator in typographic design. Gosling's biggest coup was ac- quiring Quentin Fiore to design exclusively for the Press.

With the hiring of Fiore in 1963 the Press' reputa- tion for colorful, interesting cover designs has become firmly esta- blished. Despite the name University of Michigan Press, only one-half to three-quarters of the Press' titles are by University faculty mem- bers. This is not due to friction between the faculty and the Press, but rather to the specialized na- ture of Press publications. In fact, relations with the fac- ulty are quite good. In 1965 then President Harlan Hatcher initia- ted the Faculty Book Award of $1,000 to the faculty member whose book brings the most dis- tinction to the Press list. By publishing only about 50 new titles each year. the Uni- versity Press has concentrated on a few fields up to now, especially the classics and history. It is ex- panding into new fields, specific- ally foreign language works. On the current list are elementary readers in Kurdish. Persian. Jap- anese. Thai, and Arabic. Other new endeavors include expansion into photographic pub- lishing and some prose works.. Prof. R. H. Super of the English department will edit a complete set of Matthew Arnold's works. The forays into photographic publishing will begin with a book of photographs taken by Prof. Phil Davis of the architecture college. The book is a collection nf the nhnngrnhs used in the By ALISON SYMROSKI Human "cocoons" gathered Sunday evening to share a drugless "high." That is, a large audience in Aud. D became part of an ex- periment designed to present. "Drug Alternatives and Com- plements.' ' In what master of ceremonies Prof. Richard Miller of the psychology department termed a "micro-lab" session, students attending Drug Teach-In were introduced to a new way of "ex- periencing oneself and others." "Let yourself experience being in your own private cocoon. Reach out and feel the inside of it, explore the texture." Once they had surveyed the territory, he let them out of their "cocoon." With their eyes still closed, they were told to reach out until they touched down on a foreign hand. After exploring the hand, stu- dents were permitted to open their eyes and talk with the person they had "encountered.' With contact thus established, Miller continued, "Now we are starting the verbal phase; the process of knowing one another began again. "I wanted to plan an experi- ence meaningful to a large group of people, to involve them," Miller explained in an interview later, "It was a. whole devejop- mental process," he said. "The cocoon is like the original pla- centa, the quartets the family, the octets the beginning of so- cial groups. "On another level," he con- tinued, "most of the country is in a cocoon. We're living in a turned-off society. People are hands and "cocoons" seriously, unself-consciously. "We have something beautiful-I feel like I really know you, and we've just met!" said one girl. "It showed me you could stop and talk with someone standing next to you in the subway," a boy later commented. One sti-o dent went up to Miller at the end and said, "It was the best thing that's happened to me in college." One group, that had been strangers fifteen minutes before, left together for P.J.'s to continue "the experience."
