Court May Hear
Tuition Test Case
Submit Statement Signed by 93
At Rally in Support of Resisters
By JIM HECK
The Des Moines. Iowa, Circuit Court of Appeals is ex-
pected to announce "within a matter of days" that it will
agree to hear a test case challenging the constitutionality
of state colleges or universities charging higher tuition for
*out-of-state students.
The decision of the court will be binding on all colleges
in the nation unless contested.
The basic claim of the case is that "the Constitution
requires a state to treat American from other states the
same as its own citizens in matters of admissions and
tuition in its colleges and universities to the extent that the
" state has room for non-resident students."
Stephen M. Johns, a junior in law at the University of
Iowa, and his attorney, Prof. Charles Clark of the Detroit
College of Law, are carrying on the battle which has lasted
for two years and will near its most critical point next week
in the Court of Appeais.

At Rally In Support of Resisters
By DAN SHARE and MARY LOU SMITH
Seventeen demonstrators marched to the Ann Arbor
Selective Service yesterday from a rally in the Administration
Building and turned in a statement of support :for draft
resisters signed by nearly 100 persons.
Clerks at the office assured the marchers that the state-
ment would be forwarded to state Selective Service head-
quarters in Lansing as the demonstrators insisted. But after
the march broke up the clerks said they did not know if
the statement would be forwapded.
"We don't know, call back next week and maybe we'll
know then. We have no comment now," one clerk said-

is a "representative mixture of,

said. But he declined to com-
ment on the number of candi-
dates selected or nominees still
being considered.
Since November, when most of
the nominations submitted by the
faculty had been turned in, the
committee has b e e n meeting'
weekly to examine printed infor-
mation on the nominees and to
interview sources.
The committee has also keptI
Fleming and Smith informed
about their operations.
But until a final decision is
reached on the selection of a
candidate, the candidate himselfj
is not usually informed of his
status with the committee.
From the criteria suggested by
the faculty, the committee has
found itself in the position of
seeking an ideal candidate "an
administrator, a scholar and a
gentleman, perfect in all re-
spects," Crane said.
However, both GA and SGC feel
that students should have some
role in this difficult process of
selecting a new dean. Although
there has been no official nom-
inee from ny of the student
groups, GA pit "a strongly word-
ed letter" to the committee de-
manding "full and equal voting
rights" for students on the com-
mittee, according to Roy Ash-
mall, president of GA.
But since Crane does not have
the power to admit students to his
committee, he referred Ashmall's
letter to the offices of Haber and
Smith.
Crane wrote Ashmall explain-
ing that his committee was elect-

ed and that "any' change in the
composition of the committee
would have to be done by having
the faculty change their election
procedures."
Such a change in the "long-
standing procedure" could not be
expected this year, because the
committee h.a d already been
formed, the chairman continued.
The student group has received
no response to its demands fronst
Haber or Smith, and GA expects
to support its own nominee in the
future.
Haber, a professor of economics
siioe 1936 and chairman of his
department in 1962, was appoint-
ed dean in 1963. Although he
"hasn't had time" to consider1
plans, Haber "does not believe in
retirement" and intends to con-
tinue working, perhaps by re-
turning to teaching.

Howe Begins Stay
With Franitic Agenda
By SHARON FITZHENRY
Irving Howe, the University's
second writer-in-residence in re-
cent years, will arrive on campus
Monday for two weeks of lectures,
discussions and a seemingly end-
less run of luncheons, dinners
and parties.
Known as a severe critic of
American society since the De-
pression days of the 1930's, Howe
refers to himself as a "Democratic
Socialist."
A belief in democratic ideals
combined with scathing criticism
of the present state of society is
embodied in his books "Steady
Work; Essays in the Politics of
Democratic Radicalism 1953-19-
66," "Politics and the Novel," and
0~ "The UAW and Walter Reuther."
He is also the author, with Lewis
Coser of "The American Com-
munist Party," a definitive his-
tory.
Howe's literary efforts include
studies of Sherwood Anderson
and William Faulkner along with
writings on Yiddish literature.
Born in 1920, Howe graduated
from City College of New York
in 1940. He has taught at Stan-
ford and at Brandeis University.
FTe is currently a professor of'
English at Hunter College in New
York.
Howe also serves as editor of
"Dissent" magazine and is a con-
tributor to the "New York Re-
view of Books," "The New Re-
public" and "Partisan Review."
Howe's ambitious schedule for
the n-xt two weeks will keep him
busy. His opening lecture will be
Monday at 8 p.m. in the Union
Ballroom, with a reception follow-
ing the speech.
During the week, . Howe will
mee" with classes and will join
the Writer-in-Residence Board, a
group of 14 students formed byI
the authority of Student Govern-
ment Council.
The board was created in 1965
after 44 years had passed since
Robert Frost served as the last
writer-in-residence. In 1965, the
group planned to have author
Louis Lomax come to campus, but
Lomax cancelled at the last min-
ute. Last year, author and critic
Leslie Fiedler served as writer-in-
residence.
In addition to Crane, the com-
mittee, elected by the LSA faculty
last July, includes Profs. Otto G.
Graf of the German departmentj
and director of the Honors Coun-
cil; Marvin Eisenberg. chairman
of the history of art department;
Alfred S. Sussman, chairman of
the botany department; and Rob-
ert E. Ward, of the political
science department and director
of the Center for Japanese
Studies'.
Crane's committee sent a letter
last August to faculty members
and to the LSA Steering Com-
mittee, the Graduate Assembly!
and Student Government Council
asking them for nominees and for
criteria to use in selecting a dean.
The faculty response provided a
long list of nominees which has
only recently been cropped. Therea

ticist; Prof. Bert Garskof of Mich-
igan State University and Citizens
for New Politics candidate for
Congress; and Mrs. Karen Daen-
zer, '70, Voice chairman.
Rev. Gaede referred to a Selec-
tive Service memo on "channel-
ing" from April 1967 which in-
dicated that the U.S. government
is achieving the same kind of
direction of young people's lives
as in totalitarian states.
Real Support
Duboff called for "real support"
of Spock. He said yallies are in-
sufficient and people must take
risks. "I mean staking your job,
your future, by putting yourself
in the same position as Spock and
Coffin. Go out in the community
and break the law if you feel you
have to.'
Garskof urged dispelling the
myth that protesters should be
polite with government officials
who, in Garskof's terms, "are mur-
derers and will be hung sooner
or later."
Professor Post called Dr. Spock
"the epitome of nonviolence." He
urged all draft resisters to retain
non-violent techniques as their
most effective weapons. He also
mentioned the course in non-
violent techniques planned at
Guild House this morning.
Mrs. Daenzer, who suggested the
march, spoke of the indictment
as "the beginning-a very small
beginning-of a middle class war."
