High school continues
debate on suspensions
By BILL LAVELY
A 4 Athreatened student walkout
at Ann Arbor High school to pro-
test the suspension of three nMale
students for non-confownin'g hair
styles failed to materialize yester-
day.
About 150 students rallied ,at.
the school flagpole following' dis-
missal at 12:30 p.m. rather than'
participating in a scheduled
walk-out at 11:40 a.m.
At a meeting of the Ann Arbor
Board of *Education Wednesday
night, Supt. W. Scott Westerman
had warnet that any students
'participating in the planned pro-
test would be' "immediately sus-!
pended."
The controversy began -when
three students were advised in
writing that they would face sus-
pension unless they tiimmed their
hair. The students continued to

November ballot to include
proposal for student levy

Student Government Council voted last night to in-
struct its executive board to organize the Council as a cor-
poration.
Under terms of the incorporation proposal, the Council
will exist in two forms - s a corporation and in its present
form as a student organization. Council members will re-
main in the present body and will also comprise the board
of directors of the corporation.
"This move is the first step towards a student run, stu-
dent controlled organization for student services," said
Michael Davis, grad, who introduced the proposal.
As a student organization, SGC-
will continue to grant recognition

The coinumittee which will name
candidates for the new dean of
the School of Education has coin-
pleted a major step in its work.
The six faculty and two stu-
dent membrs of the committee
have narrowed down 120 sugges-
tions to a list of 30 candidates
who will be closely considered as
possible successors for retiring
Dean Willard C. Olson.
Univesity President Robben
Fleming will select from a panel
of five to seven candidates re-
commended by the committee,'
subject to the approval of the Re-
gents.
The commit tee expects to make
its final selections by the end of
October, said Jennifer Rhea, '69.
the undergraduate representative
on the committee.
Miss Rhea emphasized that thef
preliminary group of candidates is
not necessarily final. "We're not
closing the possibility of other
candidates turning up," she said.
The committee currently is con-
tacting the 30 candidates. Prof.
Robert Dixon, chairman of the
committee, expects to know which
candidates definitely are interest-
ed within a few weeks.
Most of the candidates are from
outside the School of Education.
They range from Associate Dean
Charles Lehmann of the school
to Norman Drachler, superinten-
dent of Detroit schools, and Har-
old Howe, commissioner of edu-
cation in the Department of
Health, Education and Welfare.
Many of the candidates are cur-<
rently on the administration or
faculty of other schools of edu-z
cation. Several are public school$
superintendents.t
Some of the suggestions w re
made by the school's faculty and.
by Students for Education Inno-
vation (SEP. a group of dissatis-
fied education students who are
working for chanr'es in the school.
Although Miss Rhea said all
candidatt s will be considered
equally, the new dean may very
lik('ly be chosen from outside the"
school.
Miss Rhea told members of SEI
that the committee hadA "reacted
faxoably" to an SEI position pa-
per on the new deanship, which
urged selection from outside the
education school.
SEI cited three reasons for se-
lecting the dean from outside the
school:
--Factionalism in the school.
SEI urged that the new dean
"must be free of previous personal
entanglements."
--The need for new perspectives
and insights. "Too much exper-
ience within the school may be
detrimental," the position paper
explained.
-A new dean from outside the
school would be in a better bar-
gaining position within the Uni-
versity because hew ould be able
to project a new, dynamic image,
SEI said. The group reminded the:
committee of the school's urgent
needs for facilities, especially a
new building.
Miss Rhea said part of the con-
mittee's job has been the estab-
lishment of qualifications for the
new dean. This has led to setting
up new goals for the school itself
over the next few years.

Vice President for Academic Af-
fairs Allan F. Smith said the drop
was not significant and would
probably have no effect on the
University's state appropriations
State officials had questioned the
University's enrollment projections
throughout the budget hearings.
The change in draft laws did
not have the severe impact which
was predicted partly because fed-
eral draft quotas have been lower
than expected in recent months,
and partly because of efforts by
the Law school and Rackham
School of Graduate Studies to
enlarge their first year classes.
Rackham's enrollment, which
was expected to suffer the most
severely from the change, stands
at 8,337, down only three per cent
from last year. Smith says the im-
pact was largely alleviated by de-.
laying the application cut-off date
by'several weeks and-by admitting
more of the fully qualified stu-
dents who in other years might
have been turned away'for space
reasons.
Draft call-ups cut most sharply
into the business administration
school, whose current enrollment
is 1.072, down 199 from last year.
Nearly all of the drop was in the
group seeking masters' degrees,
Undergraduate enrollment in
the literary college rose slightly
from 11,839 to 12,106, an increase
of 2.3 per cent. The increase was
partially offset by a decrease of
138 literary college graduate stu-
dents bringing their number down
to 4,209.
A deliberate reduction in the
number of incoming freshmen ad-
mitted was made to compensate
for last year's over-enrollment.
Last year, 3,141 freshmen were ad-
mitted to fill 2,970 spaces. This
year, 2,895 were admitted.
Smith said total literary college
enrollment will be held steady at
around 12,000 until space and
faculty needs can be met. The

Although the UFW has been
