Voice Plans
Sit-In Next
Wednesday
Norman To Speak
At UAC Teach-In;
Six-Mall Panel Set
By WALLACE 1MMEN
Voice, the campus chapter of
Students for a Democratic So-
ciety (SDS), last night called for
a sit-in next Wednesday to pro-
test classified military research
being carried on at the University.
The group agreed to a sit-in
and teach-in in front of the of-
fice of Vice President in Charge
of Research A. Geoffrey Norman
on the first floor of the Adminis-
tration Building. Immediate focus
of the action is the University's
$1.5 million secret counter-insur-
gency project for use in Thailand.
An open meeting has also
planned on the war research is-
sue. Set for Friday, the University
Activities Center-sponsored teach-
in will feature a six-man panel
debating the question. Vice Presi-
dent Norman agreed yesterday to
participate in the meeting, at the
invitation of Student Government
Council President Bruce Kahn,
'68.

"My general point of view about
administration is that there is
nothing inevitable about a schism'
between faculty and administra-
tion," said President-designate
Robben W. Fleming last night,
speaking to approximately forty
members of the University chap-
ter of the American Association of
University Professors.
In the informal address given in
the Rackham Bldg., Fleming spoke:
briefly on problems of determining
priorities for University growth,
faculty - administrative relation-
ships and the allocation of re-
sources.
Not Simple
Fleming admitted that sufficient
faculty involvement in decision
making was not a simple pro-
cedure, but said that "I simply
do not accept the 'we-they' phil-
osophy. Involvement is not al-.
ways easy to implement, but I
operate from the base that it
necessary."
Commenting on the complexi-
ties of university organization,
Fleming said, "I think of myself
as an institutionalist in the old
sense. I don't believe in drawing
blocks on paper and putting1
people in them because it says to
on page 32 of an institutional or-f
ganization textbook. I think onet
tries to frame an administration
in accordance with the traditions

and precedents of the university
itself"
"Administrators can sometimes+
get so involved that they simply
forget to consult some people who
should have been consulted. In
that case, I think those people
should speak up," he said.
When the meeting was openedl
for discussion, Prof. Carl Cohen
of the philosophy department
raised the question of the stu-
dent's role in decision making.
Fleming commented that "I
think students do have a role to
play in the decision making pro-
cess. We too often assume that a
student or a faculty member will
be too bound by the environment
they come from ever to become a
university statesman."
In his remarks on determining
priorities for University growth,
Fleming pointed out that every

These include the end of all

RETURNS TRIUMPHANT:
MUSKET Sings Through Korea '

By ALISON SYMROSKI
As the bus drove through
Korea's De-Militarized Zone, one
of the occupants wrote on a post
card: "May not get back alive,s
but we'll go out singing."
And they continued singing
from Korea's DMZ to Japan's Hi-
roshima: from Navy hospitals to
plush civilian clubs. They not only
got out alive, but the 1967
