By LAURENCE KIRSHBAUM
Based on the principle that
the unit is more viable than the
mass, the Senate Advisory
Committee on University Af-
fairs (SACUA) serves as the
University's most effective ve-
hicle for faculty opinion.
True, the University has a
faculty Senate which contains
1200 members. But it meets
only twice a year and is an
unwieldy instrument for public
discussion.
Realizing this, the Senate.
elects a 19-man microcosm
which can represent its. views
to the administration. This is
SACUA. Two ex-officios are
added to make up the full com-
plementof 21 members.
From their rank is chosen
one man annually who, more
than anyone on the campus, is
responsible for seeing that SA-
CUA distills and transmits fac-
ulty sentiment.
For the coming year that
man will be Prof. Richard Well-
man of the Law Schoo , the
SACUA chairman. He replaces
Prof. William Kerr, chairman
of the nuclear engineering de-
partment. '
As chief faculty representa-
tive, Wellman will have a for-
midable task in crystalizing
faculty opinions. This is due in
part to the segmental or "state
rights" approaches of profes-
sors.,

Their doctrine demands that
faculty members maintain ter-
ritorial rights over the run-
ning of their departments and
schools. This limits their scope.
In the Law School, faculty
members help "set admissions
policies and aid in the selec-
tion of new staff members."
With their interest centered
in their own schools and their
time devoted to research and
teaching, faculty members "are
reluctant to assume any more
responsibilities in a power
sense," Wellman observes.
They are only too glad to
leave the running of the Uni-
versity to the administrators.
Their task is to be a "viable
working advisory body to the
administration, aware that ad-
vice is best received when it is
isked for."
Wellman checks off a list of
cases where faculty opinion
was solicited and followed:
-The Reed report of 1962
(named for chairman Prof.
John W. Reed of the Law
School), which called for re-
vamping the Office of Student
Affairs.
-The Harris report (named
for Prof. Robert Harris of the
Law School) which set down
the guidelines in which a mem-
bership selection document was
drafted to guard against dis-
crimination.
To prepare these and other
recommendations, SACUA re-

lies upon the principle of the
smaller unit. It has more than
15 subcommittees, each special-
izing in one field. Their invest-
igations explore all the major
issues of the University.
From the freedom and re-
sponsibility committee last year
emerged a proposal to alter the
nature of the University Senate
and SACUA. The provisions
would establish a University
Assembly of 65 persons elected
to three-year terms. SACUA
would be reduced to nine mem-
bers.
When the issue comes up for
discussion in the Senate next
fall, Wellman will remain neu-
tral. He does retain some
doubts: "I don't think that
shrinking SACUA will help it,"
he contends.
For Wellman and SACUA,
the next y earw ill be full of

an upper East Side neighborhood
yesterday to prevent a riot after

a Nero vuth.

Mississippi officials c o n t e n d
that their proposal will not fall
to federal court rulings in the
way that similar plans have been
overturned in Virginia and Ala-
bama. Unlike the bills of the other
two states, Mississippi's would not
close down the state's public
schools.
In other civil rights-related ac-
tion, a South Carolina school dis-
trict asked to be included in that
state's tuition grant plan, similar
to the new law in Mississippi. But
the state's education department
notified the district and 12 others
that it stood to lose federal funds
for impacted areas if it didn't pre-
sent desegregation plans by this
fall.
In more hopeful events, Federal
Bureau of Investigation Director
J. Edgar Hoover announced he
would conduct a series of confer-
ences with law enforcement offi-
cers on provisions of the new civil
rights law.
'Working Together'
Hoover said the conferences
would be aimed at providing a
clear understanding of the act and
enabling local, state and federal
agencies "to discharge their obli-
gations by working together."
Today the first court challenge
of the new law will be taken up
by three federal judges. Two sepa-

old statute are set for hearing in
the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals
in Atlanta.
First on the docket is a com-
plaint by the Heart of Atlanta

Defeat
Walter Reuther, President of the
United Auto Workers, predicted
the Goldwater nomination would
mean defeat at the polls in No-

Reuther predicted President
Lyndon B. Johnson would win the
election "easily" on the grounds
that "the election of Goldwater
would be a catastrophe for Amer-

James G. Patton, President of

"a throwback to times alien to

Die Vaderland interpreted Gold-
water's victory as "a triumph over
the liberal tyranny in U.S. policy."
Several Spanish government of-

POLICE WENT INTO action Wednesday night as hundreds of
Negroes staged, a "lie-in" at the Cow Palace. The Negroes, many
of them from the Congress of Racial Equality, were protesting
Arizona Sen. Barry Goldwater's nomination and the Republican
civil rights plank.
Negro Spokesmen Decry
Goldwter Nominatior
ATLANTA VP)--Spokesmen for the nation's 20 million Negroes
reacted with bitterness yesterday to Sen. Barry Goldwater's nomina-
tion as the Republican candidate for President.
The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. said that although he doesn't
regard Goldwater as a racist, the senator "articulates a philosophy
which gives aid and comfort to the racists."
"I think that it's obviously an attempt to appeal to all of the fear-
ful, the insecure, prejudiced people in our society," Whitney Young,
director of the National Urban<

League, said.,
"It's a test of all Americans
. whether they really belive in
democracy, in sharing, in civil
rights for all people. This whole
campaign is based on the notion
that most Americans aren't really
ready to live up to their demo-
cratic or religious creeds."
The Congress of Racial Equality
called the nomination a "tragedy
for the Republican party and for
the American nation."
Roy Wilkins, executive director
of the NAACP, said Negroes "gen-
erally will be disappointed at the
nomination.
"Goldwater himself is not re-
garded as a racist in their minds,"
he said, "but they note with dis-
may that among his supporters
are some of the most outspoken
racists in America.
"Their quarrel with the senator
lies in their opinion that the fed-
eral government must act to pro-
tect the rights of citizens against
infringement by the states and
the senator's belief that the fed-
eral government has no such
role," Wilkins said.

FROM MINIMAL TO GOOD


Professors Rate Goldwater s Chances, Appeal

Three political science profes-
sors disagreed ; esterday on Sen.
Barry Goldwater's chances for
election in November, but all
thought he will carry a large
appeal for the white "backlash"
against recent civil rights ad-
vances.
Prof. Norman Thomas termed,
Goldwater's chances "minimal."
Prof. Henry L. Bretton said the
Arizona conservative "has a bet-
ter chance than he is generally'
given credit for." He mentioned
possibly sufficient electoral vote
blocs in the West, South and Mid-
west. And Prof. Eugene Feingold

On the reasons for Goldwater's
nomination, Bretton said that Re-i
publican forces had been success-
Ful in rallying various groups of'
people. These include economic

labor elements, Western regional-
ists and people subscribing in
varying degrees to white suprem-
acy.
"By all indications, Goldater'si
strategy is directed toward these;
groups, especially the last. If this
is so, then the Republicans will
be putting human relations to the
porch. They will do more damage
to the nation than battalions of
Dommunist agents, whether they
win or lose," Bretton said.

All three professors noted Gold-

areas will give him his largest
