A resolution condemning classified research at the University
and classified research in general was introduced at a regular literary
college faculty meeting yesterday.
The resolution stated in part: "The faculty of the College of
Literature, Science, and the Arts deplores the secrecy connected with
some research contracts now in force at the University and urges
the Regents to adopt as a principle that no contracts restricting
publication of results will henceforth be approved."
Special Meeting
A special meeting of the faculty scheduled for either Nov. 13
or Nov. 27 will pass on the resolution.
Resolutions to be passed on by the literary college faculty must
be introduced one meeting before discussion and a final vote is held.
One proponent of the measure
voiced pessimism about the resol-
ution's future.

The governing body for Wis-
consin's nine state universities
heard a proposal Saturday thatj
would restrict campus demonstra-
tions.
Deans and vice-presidents from
the nine schools were called to a
meeting with the Wisconsin
State Board of Regents at that
time to advance a new code tak-
ing a firm position against un-
lawful demonstrations and the
blocking of entrances to any uni-
versity facility.
The proposed code also asks
that schools be allowed to retain
the right to expel students for
Norman Says Changes To Affect
One-Third of 'U' DOD Contracts
By DAVID KNOKE
The Department of Defense has eliminated classified
contracts from all future basic research projects it will
sponsor at universities.
A top Pentagon research and development official said
only a small number of "exploratory development and study
efforts" as well as consulting arrangements with universities
would be classified in the future.
His remarks will appear in an upcoming issue of a leading
scientific publication, The Daily learned yesterday.
The new policy, which is currently being implemented,
does not change the DOD's classification arrangements with
respect to applied research.
The DOD will determine which
projects it considers "basic and
"applied,"' according to UniversityK e r t ge

'Make SGC Endorsements
For Students,
By DAVID SPURR
Former Chancellor of the Uni-
versity of California at Berkeley
Clark Kerr urged yesterday that
students be given bigger roles in
developing university curricula,
and be consulted on "the effec-
tiveness of teachers."
Spetaking on student activism
and the role of the urban univer-
sity, Kerr attacked the general con-
servatism of university faculty
members. "Few organizations are
more conservative," he said. "Their
internal views change slowly. The
major changes in today's univer-
sities around the world come from
the outside."
"Although activists comprise
only a minority of the students
on college campuses, history has
been written by minority groups,"
he said.
Concerned students, Kerr added,
are going to give a "greater con-
tribution to America" than previ-
ous generations. He described stu-
dents as being "better educated"
and having a "spirit and sense of
concern for the welfare of the
surrounding society."
Incentives
Calling on urban universities to
join in solving problems that con-
front big cities; Kerr stressed the
need for racial and social equality
on the campus as well as in the
city.
"The university should recruit
people from minority groups," he
said. "These people need to be en-
couraged to walk through those
open doors."
He also suggested college-credit
projects as incentive for students
to serve their collegecommunities.
Kerr predicted that the urban
university will shape its own de-
velopment as it becomes involved
in urban affairs.
Citing universities as "elemental
forces" in the nation's develop-
ment because of their major role
in the growth of science and high-
er education during the last two
decades, Kerr outlined problems
that will face them in the future.
Equality Needed
Among these problems are
achieving equality in higher ed-
ucation, adjusting to the new con-
cerns and activism of students, in-
volvement of the university in ur-
ban afairs, and balancing the need
to protect it from the "constantly
changing pressures of the sur-
rounding community while keeping
it sensitive to the needs of society,"
he said.
Kerr also touched on financial
problems, saying that the Uni-
versity of California recently suf-
fered a budget cut of ten million
dollars as their enrollment in-
creased by 2,000 students. He is
now chairman of the Carnegie
Commission on the Future of
Higher Education.
