*Cites past opposition,
of Regents to move
By MARTIN HIRSCHMAN
Acting Vice President for Student Affairs Barbara Newell
has blocked Student Government Council's initial $100 appro-
priation to form SGC Incorporated.
The proposed corporation is part of Council's master plan
for financial flexibility and financial independence from
Regental control.
In a letter to SGC Treasurer Dennis Webster,-Mrs. Newell
said she could not release the funds because of past Regental
opposition to Council's plans to incorporate.
The $100 appropriation, made at Council's regular meet-
ing last week, was slated as the first deposit in a new bank

The money was to cover the
SGC expense of incorporating and
other initial expenditures. SGC's
incorporation papers are presently
being processed in Lansing.
Council member Michael Davis
last night called Mrs. Newell's ac-
tion "intolerable." He said, "We
give money to everyone and no one
objects. But when we give money
to SGC they object.
"Mrs. Newell has no authoriza-
tion to stop SGC money," he con-
tinued. "It's in violation of the
Council Plan."
SGC officers plan to meet with
Mrs. Newell today to discuss the
situation.
Her letter rejecting the appro-
priation reads: "Please find at-
tached a requisition requesting
$100 -'to cover incorporation and
initial operating expenses.' In light
of the Regents' statement of April
S19, 1968, on SGC incorporation
considerably more explanation is
needed before I can clear a re-
quest to use University funds."
Contacted last n i g h t, Mrs.
Newell said, "I felt I couldn't ap-
prove the requisition with so little
information. SGC has some talk-
ing to do."
She indicated the action "vas
basically- my decision," but said
she did consult with President
Robben Fleming.
The April statement of the Re-
gents on incorporation referred to
in Mrs. Newell's letter said: "The

ALBANY, N.Y. (/P)-Vice Presi-
dent Hubert H. Humphrey's prob-
lem-plagued New York backers
won a major victory yesterday,
as the state's highest court ruled
U.S. Sen. Eugene McCarthy off the
New York presidential election
ballot.
Declaring that McCarthy should
not have to run against his will,
the Court of Appeals unanimously
upset a lower-court decision that
Sthe MinnesotahDemocrat's name
should be on the ballot Nov. 5,
The ruling brought a much-
needed morale boost to Hum-
phrey's New York State organiza-
tion, which has been beset by a
variety of woes. In Washington,
a spokesman for the Democratic
National Committee said the de-
cision made Democratic leaders
"even 'more confident that the
vice president will carry New
York."
The fear that McCarthy's name
would siphon off large chunks of
votes and destroy Humphrey's
chances of winning the state's 43
electoral votes was only the latest
in a series 'of continuing prob-
lems.
The biggest headache has been
the serious disunity of the Demo-
cratic party, still divided into three
alienated wings-the Johnson-
Humphrey faction, the pro-Mc-
Carthy peace element and the
remnants of the late U.S. Sen.
Robert F. Kennedy's closely knit
clique.
State Chairman John J. Burns
has been struggling, without great
success, to orchestrate the discor-
dant elements into a unified cam-
paign for Humphrey. His efforts
have been impeded by the refusal
of the party's pro-McCarthy U.S.
Senate nominee, Paul O'Dwyer, to
endorse Humphrey-because of

Among the topics discussed were'

A meeting was set for 9 p.m.
Thursday, Oct. 24, to form study
groups. The groups will try to
formulate new courses for next
semester.
Many of the students comment-
ed on the need for liberal faculty'
members, as well as for more in-

Sociology ,lecturers also drew
criticism.
