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. tion, which is currently under de- velopment by committees repre- senting various segments of the state academic communities. Development of the State Plan is under the supervision of a Study Steering Committee, whose representatives, including Dean Stephen Spurr of the University's Graduate School, were observers at yesterday's meeting. L After review and criticism by the State Board, the Council of College Presidents and college aca- demic offices, the plan will be revised and is planned for com- pletion by the end of July. Allan F. Smith, University Vice- President for Academic Affairs, was host of the meeting of 35, held in the Administration Build- ing. Harold Smith, director of the State Plan project and John Por- ter, the Higher Education Bureau representative for the committee, were present as observers. The three man Forms Commit- tee, set up by Ira Polley, State Superintendent of Public Instruc- tion, had been working on the draft since December. James Lesch, University assistant to the vice-president for academic af- fairs, joined Joseph Saupe from ;Michigan State University and Russell Siebert of Western Mich- igan University on the committee. This review procedure will help overcome one of the biggest stumbling blocks to the develop- ment of a workable State Plan: the problem of finding a continu- ing method for keeping up with the quickly changing program needs of the state's various col- leges and universities.l The combined State Plan will Strike Treatens Building Project 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- terday. 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 air condtioning project in Univer- " - _____ _-- sity Hopsital and had severely hampered work on the University Events Building. In addition the union contract with the plumbers and steamfitters is scheduled to Convention expire June 1 and a strike is very possible.

Applications Closed The University presently has 1000 units, of which approximate- ly 75 are available for August oc- cupancy this year. Applications were closed by January but the housing office still receives about ten applications a day. About $260 of the "subsidy" is attributable to federal government subsidies on the interest paid for the loan used to finance construc- tion of the facilities. Another $310 comes from city and school dis- trict property tax exemptions; the remaining $270 would be swal-' lowed up in the profits of private landlords, according to committee member John Bishop, Grad.

They would re- ceive housing according to their incomes, pending the availability of apartments.

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.
