WILDSTROM Managing Editor The Regents yesterday gave formal approval to a plan which will allow Daily editors to select their own successors. The action, on a recommenda- ~tion by University President Rob- ben W.

Parental permission will be required, however, for fresh- men students and women under 2l who desire to live in off- campus housing. The vote on the requirement was made without debate. The resolution further stipulates that a special letter be included in the mailings to all, newly enrolled students stating: - The educational advantages of dormitory living: - A description of the educational programming in the University Housing system; - A description of the limita - tions of the Ann Arbor housing market. r n The Regents' action, in effect rejected the recommendation of the Board of Governors of the Residence Halls that the resi- dency requirement for freshmen parley be retained. The board recom- mended last October that the _ js*1 Under the Regents' resolution, the publications board will main- tain its present control over finan- ciai matters but "in all other mat- ters, the board shall act in an advisory capacity.

The Regents' resolution also calls o elcn the present Board in Control of Student Pub- lications with a restructured: Board for Student Publications.

Chairman John A. Hannah, President of Michigan State Uni- versity, was asked at a news con- ference to comment on Gov. George Romney's statement that present urban renewal policies may have "helped spark the riot in ' Detroit." Romney made the statement Thursday in testimony before the U.S. Senate Banking and Cur- rency Committee, checking into his qualifications for Secretary of Housing and Urban Develop- ment in the Nixon cabinet. "It could be," Hannah said, "I don't know however." "Certainly with urban renewal there is this potential," he added There is a tendency, Hannah said, for highway and urban renewal policies to be implemented "with- out any regard to what they're going to do with the people" that would be displaced. Hannah added that his planned resignation from the commission -where he has been a member for some 11 years-has been post- poned several months at the re- quest of the Nixon administration Ed sch Cohen appoint The appointment of Secreta fare Wilbur Cohen as the new met with hopeful but reserved officially confirmed Cohen's appo Prof. Robert Dixon, a membe said he is "extremely pleased, an Stan Bennett, Grad, presid Innovation, said "I am basically Cohen can build the education s Jennifer Rhea, '68, a stude comrhittee, believes Cohen's selec and feels he "should improve th cation school."

A statement to that effect also was issued by the 'Foreign Min- istry in Paris. It indicated the aim of the meeting would be to seek implementation of the tN Sect--ity Council's formula of No- vember 1967. No meeting date was mentioned in either announcement. The Big Four powers mentioned in the French proposal are four of the .15-nation Security Council's five permanent members. The fifth; Nationalist China, is not recognized by the Soviet Union. The Paris statement was worded to avoid any implication that the Big Four would try to impose a solution to the Arab-Israeli dis- pute. Israel has stated strongly it will have no part of any imposed solution. The 1967 Security Council res- olution called for Israeli with- drawal from Arab lands occupied in the Mideast war of June 5-10, 1967, coupled with Arab recogni- tion of Israel's right to exist. Efforts to get the two sides to agree on implementing the res- resolution have failed. Claude Chayet, acting head of the French UN delegation, said he had informed. Secretary-General U Thant of the proposal and that Thant "seemed rather pleased to hear that something was being done." There have been reports in re- cent weeks that the Soviet Union was souding out the other big powers on a Mideast peace for- mula. There was no indication that the two developments were connected. The Foreign Ministry announce- ment said France was prompted to propose the meeting by a "worri- some aggravation" of 'the Mid- ,east dispute. .:;..-
