Ramparts: leading a shaky exstece

Michigan House faces
possible shutdown in fall

SAN FRANCISCO (CPS) - A
little less than two years after it
exposed the relationship between
the Central Intelligence Agency
and the National Student Associa-
tion and made itself a name,!
Ramparts magazine is in deep
financial troible.
On Feb. 3 the magazine filed a
oetition in bankruptcy to permit
al reorganizationl to pay off more
than $1.8 million in debts.
The preceding week the maga-
zine's president and editorial di-
rector, Warren Hinckle III, re-
signed because he had been unable
to raise money to get the maga-
zine out of debt. He said he would'
start a new radical magazine to
be called "Barricades" and that
most of the present Ramparts
staff would join him.

At the meeting, students decid-

second house until the, Williams
House Council could meet to con-
sider a resolution similar to the
one made by the Michigan House.
However, at a meeting late last
night, the council refused to vol-
unteer Williams House for reserve.
In a statement signed by the
council and president Kenneth
Budnick, '69 E, Williams House
members attacked the philoso-
phies behind the shutdown.

and is totally unmotivated by any

1SC asks
rad union
The Radical Caucus last night
heard a proposal by the Indepen-
dent Socialist Club to form a
Radical Students Union.,
ISC proposed that exploratory
discussions be held between re-p
presentatives of the Radical Cau-
cus, ,the Tenants' Union, N e w
Democratic Coalition, SGC, ISC
and any other interested groups.
The purpose of the proposed
union is to form a multi-issue fe-
derati6n of groups which will al-
low for better coordination of
0 campus campaigns, such as' ten-
ure, requirements and the r e n t
strike.
The Caucus voted to send three
representatives to the proposed
meeting.
The Caucus also voted to form
committees to write a position
paper concerning "general aca-
demic issues" and to gather in-
formation on the issue of tenure.
The latter committee will also
propose what action should 'be
taken on this issue.

The FRA has legislative author-
ity in the relations of the frater-
nity system with all organizations
beyond the individual fraternity
chapters. It represents e a c h
fraternity according to the size of
the fraternity. The FPA deals with
individual chapters.
Gates Moss, IFC president, said
that the new officers would de-
termine the direction of the as-
sembly.
Mowry, former IFC rush chair-
man, said he interprets h4s role
of External Vice President as "a
suppprting role to facilitate com-
municationi between .FRA and the
executive directors." He sees FRA
as "an opportunity to lift IFC
through grassroots decision-mak-
ing, for whatever programs the
fraternities want."
He proposed that the five coun-
cils of FRA serve as committees
to administrate FRA's . services-
publicity and publication, univer-
sity relations and services, com-
munity relations and services, stu-
dent relations, and special events
and projects.
Rubinow, president of Pi Kappa
Alpha, emphasized public rela-
tions and a re-evaluation of rush
so that "through FRA the frater-
nities can weather the crisis in
the system." He' said he wanted to
review rush and find out exactly
why fraternities took 1200 men
three years ago, and in rush this
year took only 600.
