Dean William Hays of the literary college yesterday re-
commended that elected- student representatives be given
full voting membership on the college's curriculum commit-
tee and came out strongly in favor of open faculty meetings.
Hays also announced that the language requirenient was
being added to the agenda of the special faculty meeting
next Thursday, in addition to the question of open meetings.
He said last night that this may well lead into a general dis-
cussion of distribution requirements.
Radical Caucus leaders said the statement would have
no effect on their plans for a mass meeting and sit-in next
week.
In a statement on the addition i
of the language requirement to
the agenda, Hays said that "lestst
we be accused of trying to limit
debate on the subject, the issue

meetings were made in an open r
letter to the literary college stu-

promised that when the pro-
duction plays at the Univer-'
sity Sunday and Monday, "We
will sacrifice no artistic in-
tegrity."
The play is a modern adapta-
tion of "The Bacchae," a classical'
Greek tragedy by Euripides. The
Off-Off-Broadway production has
been running since June and us-
ually includes scenes of nudity.
Besides Minnesota, the produc-
tion has played only at one other'
college, the University of Colo-
rado. No major incidents occurred
there.
The scheduled performance last
night in Minnesota's Kaufman
Memorial Union was cancelled by
a unanimous decision of the un-
ion's board of governors. The
board is an 11-member body that
coordinates al11 university activ-
ities and is composed entirely of
students.
The board paid the company
$900 to invalidate the remaining
contract agreements and the pro-

Monday, that there would be noI
SGC backing for the proposed'
sit-in.
It is expected the sit-in will be
discussed and approved by the
students aftending the Monday
meeting.
If Radical Caucus' recommenda-
tions are accepted, the sit-in
would be held at noon Wednes-'
day in the office of literary college
Dean William Hays. In addition
to abolition of the language and
distribution requirements, de-
mands would include a statement
indicating that students, not fac-
ulty, have the right to determinea
college-wide curriculum policies.
In related action, President
Michael Koeneke and Executive,
Vice President .Bob Neff an-,
nounced they will not attend
Thursday's special faculty meeting
on current curriculum policy at
the college.
Though invited by Hays, they
said they will not go because the:

The recommendation by Dean
William Hays of the literary col-
lege yesterday for elected student
representatives on the college's
curriculum committee drew sup-
port from faculty members and
skepticism from some student
leaders.
Hays' personal endorsement of
open faculty meetings drew ap-
proval from both sides.
Prof. James Gindin, chairman
agreed with the recommendation
of the curriculum committee,
for voting student members on
the commitee, even if the num-
ber of students equal the number
of faculty members.
"I am going to bring up the
matter at Monday's meeting," he
said.
Although Hays did not specify
how many students he thought
should be seated, Gindin said he
understood Hays would write a
letter to the committee before
Monday recommending a number,
Asked whether he thought the
recommendation would be ap-
proved by other members of the
committee, Gindin said, "I don't
anticipate any difficulty."
Two other faculty members of
the committee contacted last
night, Prof. Frank X. Braun of the
German department and Prof.
Jean Carduner of the French de-
partment, said they would support
the proposal. Allan David, a stu-
dent ex-officia member of the
committee, also approved the rec-
ommendation.
Student Government Couhcil
leaders, however,.expressed skep-
ticism. "Hays made no indication
as to how many students would be
on the committee," said SGC Vice-
President Robert Neff.
Bruce Levine, a member of the
Radical Caucus, declined to com-
ment. "Our organization needs
some time to digest what is hap-
pening before it says anything,"
he said.

There was some pushing and
shoving between the outer edges
of the .crowd and the police line.
Several demonstrators were club-
bed on the head but police re-
fused to let volunteer medical per-
sonnel treat them. When one doc-
tor finally pushed through the
line, he was immediately arrested.
Later another group of students'
massed in front of the library.
',hey began throwing billiard balls
and boards at the windows, driv-
ing the policemen standing in
front of the door back into the
building. The police then locked!
the doors and cleared the library
while other police drove the
crowd out to the main campus
entrance where they dispersed.
Hiyakawa said the rally was "an
act of desperation" by "hard core,
radicals and militants." He said he
would have to see what happens
today before he can decide Wuheth-,
er the strike is failing, but he said
"I think it is." There was no in-
dications what students plan for:

Martin McLaughlin and B r u c e
Levine of Radical Caucus a n d
Michael Koeneke and Bob Neff
of Student Government Council
-have announced they will not
attend.
In his letter to the student body,
Hays denied the contention that
students have the sole right to set
curriculum requirements. But he
went on to say he did accept stu-
dent input into the decision-mak-
ing system.
"What I do support is the right
of students to participate reg-
ularly, formally, and on a repre-
sentative basis within a large
domain of academic decision-mak-
ing." This included the elected,
voting student members on the
curriculum committee.

The Ann Arbor rent strike is
pushing ahead with widespread
organization efforts, but no
one kpows just when it will be-
gin, or how long it will take to
reach a successful settlement if
and when the strike gets off the
ground.
The success of the strike
hinges on the ability of the
strikers to withhold their rent
fo.: a long enough time to hurt'
the landlords economically, and
to prevent the signing of new
leases for the fall.
Strike organizers cannot pre-
dict what action the landlords
will take to thwart the strike.
The strike steering committee
maintains it is unlikely the
landlords will take any. immed-

If only a few students are con-
victed for withholding rent and
evicted, the o t h e r students
would cease striking to protect
themselves, so the reasoning
goes.
Informed s o u r c e s indicate
some landlords have already
drafted a letter to the parents
of striking minors pointing out
the legal responsibility of the
lease's co-signer.
Although there is no direct
action the strike committee
could take against this move,
says strike organizer Peter Den-
ton, Grad, he doubts the letter
would influence many parents
in view of Ann Arbor tousing
costs. ,
"And if the parents live out-
side' Washtenaw County or ihe

guesses that real financial strain
would begin to show after four
months, but even that figure is
tentative.
Whatever the nature of assets
available to the landlords dur-
ing the strike - such as ad-
vance rent, damage deposits
and short term bank loans-it
is clear that if the strike begins
to seriously threaten them they
will not take it sitting down.
As Ron Glotta, strike lawyer
who has run rent strikes in De-
troit and Muskegon, says: "Tnis
is not a lark. A rent strike is
something which takes a great
deal away from the landlords.
It is a significant confrontation
and you can expect the system
to come down hard in every way

make or oreak it, say organ-
izers.
The core of the strike organi-
zation is a force of 100 organ-
izers presently canvassing every
known apartment managed by
the target realty firms. Each
organizer will be responsible for
certain tenants throughout the
strike, and will represent their
interest before the steering
committee.
