THE UNIVERSITY AND, TUSKEGEE Institute have been
granted a total of $399,000 from the Ford Foundation to support
cooperative research programs. Tuskegee is currently conducting
a sociological study of the city of Tuskegee, Ala.

methods, set up cooperative research in other areas, and provide
study opportunities for University graduate at Tuskegee. The
cooperative setup between the two schools is four years old.
A REPUBLICAN vigorously backed by Gov. George Romney
last night won a surprise victory over James P. Hoffa, son of the 1
imprisoned Teamsters Union president, in a race for the Michigan j
House.
Hoffa lost to Anthony C. Licata, an advertising company
executive in the race for the Michigan House seat in Detroit's
19th District.
The vacancy came earlier this year with the death of Rep.
Joseph Kowalski, a Democrat elected several times from the
normally heavily Democratic district.
Unofficial vote totals showed Licata with 5,848 votes, Hoffa
with 5,709, giving Republicans a 55-54 majority in the House.
THE STUDENT-FACULTY Council on Student Affairs at
Ohio State University will vote today on sections of a new student
body constitution which increases student power and conflicts
with existing Faculty Council rules. The new constitution, rati-
fied by students April 6, grants the OSU Student Assembly
authority to recognize organizations, place a student member on
the Faculty Council and require student approval of operationalf
expenses. All changes must be approved by the CSA before the
faculty can consider them. According to a staff member of the
OS'U Lantern, the faculty usually accepts CSA recommendations.

Russell Siebert of Western Mich-

Extension of Sheet Metal Workers,
Walk-Out May Halt 'U' Construction

By WALTER SHAPIRO
All University construction projects will be adversely affected if
the current strike by sheet metal workers continues past June 1,
James F. Brinkerhoff, University plant extension director, said' yes-

However, he said Bursley Hall will be one of those least affected,
It is highly unlikely that labor difficulties will prevent the
completion of 900 of Bursley's 1200 sleeping accommodations by Aug.
15, Brinkerhoff said. The other 300 units at Bursley are not expected
to be completed until the end of September.
Brinkerhoff blamed inclement winter weather, trade union
strikes last year and a shortage of workers this summer for the delay.
Clifton H. Annet of the architect's office said that the two-week-
old strike by the sheet metal workers had halted all work on an

CHICAGO--Twenty students at
DePaul University last night con-
tinued their two-day "cram-in"
staged in protest over the editor-
ship of the school's weekly news-
paper, the DePaulia.
Seated quietly on the carpetcd
floors of the university's executive
offices, the students prepared to
spend a second night studying for
exams and waiting for Father
Wengler, DePaul's vice-president,
to meet their demands.
The controversy began at the
newspaper's annual banquet last
Saturday when Marilyn Moats,
faculty advisor to the DePaulian,
announced the appointment of the
new editor.
At that time Miss Moats named
Michael Walters, a junior, to the
position and not the girl the out-
going editors had recommended.
The DePaulian staff immediately
resigned, having already publish-
ed their last edition of the semes-
ter, claiming that Walters was
relatively unknown in the DePaul-
ian and had done nothing to de-
serve this position.
According to the associate edi-
tor, Ernie Topczynski, Miss Moats
had said she made the appoint-
When Father Wengler made no
efforts to meet the students' re-
quest, they turned it into a de-
mand and began their cram-in-
the first organized protest of any
kind at DePaul.
Father Wengler, who yesterday
did not attempt to get into his
blocked office, has shown no sign
of meeting the demand and Carol,
