sion on the campus can and
should be dynamic factors for
university good, but there are cer-

struction."
' He illustrated that with some
recent statements by Students for
Democratic Society and the Na-
tional Student Association, which
he said "reflect goals of extreme
negativism and even anarchy
which, if assiduously pursued,
could make the Berkeley rebellion
episode seem like mere warm-up
exercises."
The overall sentiment, however,
is that students should play a
role in the decision-making pro-
cess but there are few definitive
answers as to just how students
should be involved, and no one
has come forth with a formula
for defining how much actual
authority students should have.

Strike Talks
Falter
DETROIT (P) - The United
Auto Workers Union has reject-
ed a new proposal in contract
talks with the Ford Motor Co
and prospects for imminent set-
tlement of a 3-day strike re-
main dim, it was learned 'last
night.
A union source denied the re-
port, but said "if someone high
up from the union were to meet
with someone from the com-
pany informally and one of
them said no to an item, that
would not be rejection."
University's code of student regu-
lations last month, its substitute
SGC-written code included the
provision that freshmen women's
hours would remain intact until
a referendum of the women in-
volved had decided who would
have the authority to legislate
hours policy.
"We have decided to forget
about the referendum," said ad-
ministrative Vice President Mich-
ael Davis, Grad, "because we
couldn't think of a way to devise
a fair one."
In its earlier move, SGC had
given authority over visiting
hours, sign out slips and the other
provisions of the University's
regulations regarding women's
conduct except late .hours in resi-
dence halls -to Inter-House As-
sembly.
Fisher House and -Elliot House,
both in Markley Hall, last night
passed resolutions similar in ef-
fect to the one Blagdon adopted
Tuesday.'
Yesterday, the Board of Gover-
nors of the residence hall system
refused to delegate to IHA final
authority over conduct rules.
SGC's action last month throwing
-out the University conduct code
was not taken within the frame-
work of the Regents' By-Laws.
