Mildred Officer, a commissioner,
says that although the new de-

anti-discrimination laws effective-
ly, "this is only one-third of the
problem."
Many other city human rela-
tions problems lie not in the en-

says Mrs. Officer. She cites two
examples: the work HRC has done
in crisis situations between the
community and the police and the
ability of HRC to warn the city
of potentially troublesome situ-
ations. "This will no longer be pos-
On the other hand, Mayor Har-

case to determine if discrimination

they may issue cease-and-desist
orders, seek injunctions and peti-
tion Circuit Court for an order to
have the guilty party pay a fine
to the city of not more than $1000
per discriminatory practice.
"Convictions would be easier to
obtain through the examiners than
they would be in a criminal court,"
says HRC commissioner Theodore
St. Antoine.
At present, HRC can only rec-
ommend that the city attorney
file criminal charges against al-
leged housing discriminators. The
city has no ordinances coverings
other areas of discrimination, Al-
though HRC can hold a hearing, it
does not have the authority to
subpoena witnesses.
A key portion of the proposed
ordinance states that the city.
should not exempt the University
from its regulations on discrimina-
tion.
Mayor Harris has received a let-
ter from Pres. Fleming saying that
the University's attorneys feel that'
this provision -in the ordinance
would violate the University's
autonomy as a constitutionally
created state body.
Harris says "We will not know
the answer until we assert the
power."
Jerold Lax, city attorney, said
that the "jurisdiction over the
University is a matter on which
lawyers could differ. I hope it!
won't go to litigation and that the
spirit of the ordinance will be ac-

Concerned Citizens of Ann Arbor
says CT he past performance of
HRC has not justified its expendi-
tures," but he.x added, "I don't
think the reorganized program is
going to dothejob it is intended
to do."
In addition to the problem of
HRC's structure, Harris charges
that the commission has "spon-
sored defamation of the character
of several individuals involved in
cases they investigated." He says
that HRC has "attempted to
marshal hostile public opinion as
a sanction," and labelled such tac-
tics "McCarthyism.",
Mrs. Officer denied this saying
"I don't feel that HRC has per-
formed in this manner."

FINAL ACTION:

need. At Baits Housing, the recent
formation of a student government
led the committee to recommend
that the education fee there be cut
from $8 to 50c.
The committee asked that sev-
eral costs be transferred from the
oeprating fund to the general
fund, which pays counseling costs.
Understhe plan night assistants'
salaries, and 50 per cent of the4
salaries and wages of night secur-
ity personnel would be paid for out
of the general fund. This move
would amount to a saving of $10
per student.
An "economics" cut of $3 per
student was asked, leaving it up
to the students and halls how to
best find the areas to make the
specific savings.
By recommending that housing
deposits be forfeited when a stu-
dent fails to sign a contract, the
committee anticipated i n c o m e
equal to $2.50 a student, and was
able to reduce the increase by that
amount. Another recommendation
asked for an increase in that de-
posit from the present $45 to $100.
The committee believes this would
have the effect of discouraging
"no-shows" and allowing another
$2.50 cut in the increase.
Other recommendations include
the initiation of limited meal con-
tracts at West Quad and Mosher-
Jordan. At West Quad, weekend
meals would be eliminated, with
an annual saving of $90 per resi-
dent. All breakfasts would be
eliminated at Mosher-Jordan, with
the opportunity for breakfast con-
tracts being made available at
neighboring halls. Meal contracts
for students living outside the
halls were also encouraged.
The committee asked rejection
of a request by Inter-Fraternity
Council and Pan-Hellenic Asso-
ciation for a contract termination
arrangement for students wishing
to move out of a residence hall and
into a fraternity or sorority. Sim-
ilarily, the committee recommend-
ed ending an agreement with In-

ter-Cooperative Council to reduce

dents when the North Campus
co-op project opens.
A new method of considering
housing contract terminations was
called for by the committee, per-
haps in the form of a review board.
The committee felt this would cut
down on fee losses by reducing the
number of terminations.
Another recommendation asked
that the Rate Committee continue
to meet on a regular basis. "I'd
hate to lose the expertise these
people have acquired," said Ed
Salowitz, Associate Director of
Housing and chairman of the Rate#
Committee.

tax exemption
(Cont.inued from Page 1)
administration has not yet desig-1
nated its representative.
The first task of the policy
board will be to incorporate the
bookstore as a non-profit enter-
prise. The continuance of the tax
exemption is contingent on the
maintenance of this status. -
In a telephone interview lastI
night, Holderied indicated that the
tax exemption applies to schools
or any institution that can be
characterized as educational.
Ue said the proposed bookstore
qualifies under the latter designa-
tion since it is "a non-profit book-
store incorporated for the purpose
of providing support to a. bonafide
university handling the booksale."
The request for exemption of
the bookstore from the sales tax
was made in mid-December by
President Fleming in a letter to
the Sales and Use Tax Commis-
sion. Accompanying the letter was
a memorandum on the legal basis
for the University's request written
by Law Prof. L. Hart Wright. i

chairman
Thomas J. Larkin, professor of
art and art education, will be-
come chairman of the department,
of art on Jan. 4. The Regents con-
firmed the 3%-year appointment
at their December meeting. -
Larkin will succeed Prof. Rob-
ert Iglehart. Iglehart, t h e first
chairman of the department, has
served for 14 years. He will con-
tinue on the faculty and devote
full time to teaching.
Larkin, 48, came to the Univer-
sity in 1953 as assistant profes-
sor of art, to establish a program
in art education in the depart-
ment of art. Previously he had
taught six years at Iowa State
Teachers College and three years
at Hull-House in Chicago.
In the department or art he set
up a then unique curriculum, re-
quiring art education students to
complete the degree program for
the bachelor of fine arts degree
while satisfying the special re-
quirements of secondary school
certification.
The elementary school a r t
courses organized now serve 300
to 350 students per year; the art
education staff now numbers five.
Larkin handles liaison with the
scho l of education and the sup
ervision of practice teaching in
art in the public schools.
