By CHRIS STEELE and JIM BEATTIE Democratic Robert J. Harris and four Democratic City Council candidates won an upset victory in Ann Arbor's city elections yesterday. The election brought Democratic control to city government for the first time in 30 years. By a narrow margin of 10,399 to 10,310 Harris edged out Richard E. Balzhiser, the favored Republican candidate. Harris will be the first Democratic mayor Ann Arbor has had in 10 years. Despite the close margin, Balzhiser con- ceeded to Harris late last night. The election also shifted control of City Council to the Democrats. With the election last night of Robert Faber (second ward); Nic- holas Kazarinoff (third ward), Henry Stadler (fifth ward), and the reelection of H. C. Curry (first ward) Democrats won a 7 to 3 majority on city council. With the addition of the mayor, who votes on council questions, the Democratic margin will be 8 to 3' The only Republican elected yesterday was Roy Weber from the strongly Republican. fourth ward. Republicans who lost were Ad- tric Gillespie (first ward) Ruth Hobbs (second ward) Richard Em- inons (third ward) and incumbent Brian Connelly (fifth ward). The only losing Democrat was Mrs. Doris Caddell (fourth ward). Surprises occurred in returns from several of the wards. T h e first ward, though normally Democratic, gave an unusually high margin to incumbent Curry as well as an extremely high vote for Harris. The over 700 v a t e margin~ in this ward was enough to offset Republican victories in other parts of the city. Voters Daily-Aidy Sacks Democrats Nicholas Kazarinoff, councilman-elect, and Robert j. Harris, mayor-elect, rejoice ONE MAN-ONE VOTE: where they could participate in group discussion or do research on specific topics.

The concentration program was designed to provide students with an .,opportunity to acquire more diversified knowledge of their so- ciety as affected by racial over- tones. Currently a committee' com- perclass students can take at most one class on pass-fail for a maxi- mum of four semesters. Psych 101 will be offered as a special experiment next year on pass-fail. The faculty rejected by an al-i most two to one margin proposals that would abolish the present language requirement and institu- te an entrance requirement in- stead.

All passed by substantial majorities. Of the four charter amend- ments, however, only the fourth. the "dry island" proposal, is of much importance to the students. The "dry island" provision of the city charter had prohibited sales of alcoholic beverages for "on premise" consumption in the area encircling the central cam- pus. Under the charter amendment, the regulation of the sale of liquor by the drink in the campus area will be left to State law and local ordinances. The charter w-ill no longer describe a dry island for any purpose. This will simply mean that bust- nesses wishing to sell liquor near the campus must follow the same procedures for obtaining city liquor licences before going into business as concerns in other areas of the city. Two of the other three amen;- ments were concerned with strik- ing provisions from the city chart- er which had been invalidated by state statues since the last elec- tion. The third established a city tax to support a pension fund for municipal workers. In addition, although the ab- sentee ballots had not been added to the totals, of the annexation proposals, all were expected to pass by about five to one majorities. Each must also be passed in the township'that is to be annexed be- fore it will be officially ap- proved, however. None of the totals from these townships was available last night. Three of the annexation pro- posals deal with the land, that is to be detached from Pittsfield township, and added to the east side of Ann Arbor. Thef o u r t h proposes to add property from the Ann Arbor township northwest of the city.

Vice President for State Relations and Planning Arthur Ross says the adminis- tration has assured Dean-designate Wil- bur Cohen that money will be provided to get started on some new projects. But these new funds will not be earmarked for specific programs until Cohen be- comes dean in July.

The National Council of Accred- itation of Teacher Education (NCATE ) has been critical of the lack of adequate supervision of student teachers, he notes. The requested funds, if granted, would decrease the number of student teach- ers per supervisor in the secondary edu- cation area from 74 this year to 50 next year. In elementary education the num- 'U and the budget squeeze sponsible for teaching and developing methods in this area, explains Lehmann. But the lack of personnel is not the only problem of the education school. The Legislature and University admin- istration have been unresponsive to the school's space problems since 1952, Leh- mann says. The school is desperately in need of classroom and research space, he adds. In fact, the school is so tight on space the administrative offices of the school are over the Ann Arbor b a n k at East University and South University.

The other request of the literary col- lege involves training students to effec- tively teach disadvantaged children. "We don't have such an urban education pro- gram now, but we're interested in begin-! ning a teacher training program for the inner city," Hays says. "We hope to supplement a great deal of standard teacher training with field experience in an urban area", he con- tinues.
