LXXVII, No. 31S ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SATURDAY, JUNE 17, 1967 SEVEN CENTS Peace Movement Faces Dangers of Factioi FOUR PAGES /I lism By DAVID KNOKE Last in a Five Part Series How much support could the anti-war movement command? Even doubling a generous esti- mate of the attendance at April 15's gigantic peace rallies and multiplying by ten only gives five million potential voters in an electorate of 80 million. Still, Pres- idential elections have been de- cided on thinner margins. With three candidates running (Johnson, Wallace and a Repub- lican) and possibly a presidential peace ticket splitting electoral votes, the decision may very well come down to the House of Repre- sentatives in 1968. In preparation for that event, many anti-war ac- tivists believe, it is important .that grass-roots organizing get under- way in the next 18 months on the precinct and Congressional dis- trict level. Yet the "dove" in the past has proved notoriously weak. Three Ramparts editors scored heavily in California primaries a year ago, but in November elections only two or three Congressional peace candidates managed to pull as much as five per cent of the votes. The hang-up on political solu- tions is derided by those who cite the fact that many American sol- diers and Vietnamese are going to be killed before the next election. The young bloods cry for action nOw-"Stop the machine," they cry and they are ready to throw themselves under the wheels to prove their seriousness. A close look, however, reveals that the "peace movement" is ter- ribly factionalized. The immediate danger to those who want some- thing meaningful to emerge from the summer's activity is that much energy will be lost on in-figthing. Should any of the urgent young people become so frustrated that they would resort to violence, the entire peace effort would be dealt a heavy blow. "I can only hope that no one starts dropping bombs," said David MacReynolds, field secretary of the pacifist War Resistors League. "This would surely cause overt retaliation on the open peace wing, like the last days of the French-Algerian war when plasti- que bombs were going off daily in the intellectual quarters of Paris. / "Should someone kill an Amer- ican soldier or bomb a troop train, public sympathy would veer sharply from the peace move- ment." There is agreement in most adult quarters that the peace movement must be kept open and non-violent, but these conditions cannot be guaranteed, especially among young people's groups ad- vocating open flaunting of the laws they view as injust. In the confusion of a mass march on Washington in the fall, it is pos- sible that an attempt to sit in at the Pentagon .or Selective Service headquarters could result in seri- ous injuries to many people. Confrontation is defintely in the offing despite widespread aversion among persons such as Mrs. Pat Giffiths, who spent 11 days in North Vietnam recently and is now working with Vietnam Sum- mer. "People say 'avoid alienating the moderates by taking moralistic stands.' As a matter of principle I agree with the moralists," she said, "but when you are trying to convince un-informed people-and' the popular press is extremely un- informative-1this is not the time for massive resistance until there is hass support." Her apprehension is contradict- ed by a friend, Bruce Dancis of Cornell Students for a Democratic' Society. Dancis ripped up his draft card last year and is organizing larger civil disobedience actions.' "I don't consider myself to be extreme," he said. "I feel if you believe in what you are doing, you will convince people and I think that liberal rhetoric about scaring away timid people is unproven." Perhaps the most significant development to come out of the expanded peace drive is the link- age of the anti-war movement with civil rights. Rev. Martin Luther King has come under fire from moderate Negro leaders for "diverting" the energy of civil rights to an area which they claim is not involved. But King's supporters profess to see a growing connection be- tween the high Vietnam war bud- gets and depleted coffers for the war on poverty, between low Ne- gro representation on draft boards and high Negro battlefield casual- ties. And Negro youth leaders from Stokely Carmichael to Muham- med Ali have embraced the anti- war movement. Rev. James Bevel, aid to King and presently organizing peace and civil rights movements in the Washington, D.C., ghetto has emerged as one of the major me- diating figures among the vari- ous anti-war factions. If the call goes out in the fall for a million demonstrators to descend on the nation's capital, it will probably come from Bevel. Bevel's appeal is his ability to bridge political and ideological differences from Maoism to the New Middle, as he showed in or- ganizing the Spring Mobilization. He steadfastly refuses to be drawn into politics and seems to almost entirely avoid discussing feasible solutions to the war. "The things that make most movements effectual are those things that are nondebateable," he has said. "Ghandi said 'we need salt' and you just can't argue with that." But his refusal to exclude rad- icals or coddle moderates led the Students for a Democratic Society and the moderate SANE to with- draw formal support of the April 15 rally' and the marxist Youth against War and Fascism to parti- cipate under protest. "The mood has changed since the Spring Mobilization from one of despairing over the political failures of the fall to general op- timism about the future,". said Chester Heynie, an organizer for a Massachusetts-based peace-poli- tics organization. "I think most grown-ups are still several steps short of com- mitting themselves as- fully as the kids, but many of them are now eagerly jumping into organ- ization work, . even if only on a doorbell-ringing basis with their neighbors." Heynie thinks a march on Washington would be spectacular but unneeded diversion. "There's too much organizing that remains to be done in local communities," he explained. "The peace people in Boston are- really out of touch and alienated with the Catholic community." His sentiments are shared by SDS national secretary Greg Cal- vert, Chicago organizer Clark Kis- singer and many other radical community organizers. The peace movement has definitely taken big strides to get off campuses and away from intellectual centers. "Maybe people shouldn't use the term 'peace movement,'" said Kis- singer. "A 'Pax Americana,' with troops permanently occupying Vietnam may be an end to the war, but it's unacceptable to many people because it denies every- thing the Vietnamese people have been fighting for the last thirty years. "Maybe the movement should be called the 'international social justice movement,' or something like that." Whether or not the anti-war movement realizes its goals of changing the draft or achieving a just end to the war, it definitely will create major changes in the American body politic. i ADMISSIONS DATA: 'U' Admits 4400 Freshmen Emrnm 1 x(1(1( Annliants Regents Approve Revision .L .L ~.11k ....~F, Y I 'J £ii 1JUU . By WALTER SHAPIRO The Office of Admissions re- ceived more than 13,000 applica- tions for the 4400 places in the University's class of "71, accord- ing to its director Clyde Vroman. Adhering to a pre-set ratio of about 25 per cent, there will be 1100 out-of-state students among this fall's freshmen. Of the 4400 new freshmen, ap- proximately 3000 have been ad- mitted to the literary college. There were about 5000 in-state applications of which 54 per cent were accepted. However, the Uni- versity only accepted 1200 of the 4000 out-of-state applicants-30 per cent. Vroman explained the different standards for the admission of in- state and out-of-state students. "We admit all those in-state stu- dents who show they will prob- ably succeed academically, pro- vided they apply by Feb. 1," he said. "However, we must weigh the entire record of out-of-state stu- dents against the space available. As a result, we-are forced to reject many. out-of-state students who would have succeeded academical- ly," he added. NEWS WIRE PERSONS WHO WANT TO BUILD a student apartment, building on the corner of S. University and Walnut have filed suit against the city charging that they are being deprived through discriminatory zoning. They contend that their property is "in the heart of the student housing area," with apartments behind their property on Walnut and Linden and large sorority houses across S. Uni- versity. The zoning on their lots restricts multiple use to fraternities, sororities and student co-operatives, while four apartment houses have been constructed in the same block since 1962 and another is under construction, their complaint states. The plaintiffs in the suit are Joel D. and Shelby Tauber and Norman and Denny Sussaman. They own or are negotiating for purchase of five adjacent lots. They claim that numerous attempts since 1962 to obtain changes in the zoning have failed and that seeking a Circuit Court ruling enjoining the city from interfering with construction is their only recourse. DETROIT-WAYNE STATE UNIVERSITY has deferred action on a proposal to, arm the eight campus policemen after hearing protests by student leaders. PROF. I. RICHARD CRANE, chairman of the physics dept. at the University, will receive the American Physical Society's 1967 Davisson-Germer Prize at an international conference of physicists to be held in Toronto, June 21-23. James R. Bower, associate ad- missions director, estimated the average Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores of all in-coming freshmen "was slightly under 600 on both the math and verbal sec- tions." Since many high school students make multiple college applications, the University is forced to over- admit in order to guarantee a class of planned size. Bower esti- mated that of the 3900 candidates admitted to the literary college, only 3000 will actually come to the University. Over 40 per cent of the out-of-state students admitted to the literary college decline the in- vitation. The figure is slightly un- der 20 per cent for in-state stu- dents. The Admissions Office also han- dles transfer applications for the literary college and five other schools. While transfer admissions were only 80 per cent completed, Bower said that 600 of 1800 can- didates had been admitted to the literary college. About 400 students, the top 10- 15 per cent of the incoming fresh- man class, are invited to join the Honors program, according to Aden A. Gordus, its associate director. Gordus said, "Typically the mi- nimum requirements for admis- sions to Honors are a combined SAT score of 1350 and a high school rank in the topn2 or 3per cent." But he added, "we are very flexible." Gordus said that about 40 per cent of the freshmen admitted to Honors were from out-of-state. Their estimated average SAT scores were 705-710 verbal and 730-740 mathematics. About half of these freshmen average 150 or better on the National Merit Scho- larship Test, he noted. James H. Robertson, associate dean of the literary college who has been appointed director of the Residential College, said that 900 freshmen admitted to LSA had applied for the program. "Out of these we selected 220 using seven different categories to get as close a microcosm as pos- sible of all LSA freshmen," he explained. Deny Voice Appeal About Convention Deny Subsidy, Affirm' Lobby Supervisor For SDS Gathering The Regents rejected yesterday an appeal to reverse a decision by several administrators concerning the National Convention of Stu- dents for a Democratic Society (SDS) to be held here next week. The decisions affirmed the ne- cessity of lobby supervisors for the gathering and denied a re- quest for a University subsidy to the convention as an "educa- tional experience." Voice contended that the Uni- versity requirement for a lobby supervisor would cost "SDS $300 or so without in any way adding to the University's physical se- curity." Vice-President for Student Af- fairs Richard Cutler, announcing the decision Wednesday, said the basis for a lobby supervisor "stems from a recommendation from the fire marshal." The case for a University sub- sidy was based on Voice's claim that "four of the six days of the Convention are purely educational workshops, open to everyone." They asked the University to sus- pend its $25 daily room rental fee. Yesterday's action was initiated by Regent Paul Goebel who moved that "the actions of the Vice Pres- ident for Student Affairs be rati- fied." Eric Chester, '66 said that Voice "exhausted all so-called channels of communication." He added, "Since the bill won't come until after the Convention is over, we'll decide then how to pay it." Lag D elay 'U' Budget Administration Waits For Fiscal Reform, State Allocation By LAURENCE MEDOW Co-Editor I -Daily-Thomas R. Copi AT THEIR MONTHLY MEETING yesterday, the board of regents approved changes in the architec- ture program in the school of Architecture and Design. Frederick Matthaei, Jr. (left) attended his first meeting since being appointed to replace his father on the board earlier this week by Gov. George Romney. Board President Harlan Hatcher (right) told the regents that "we cannot make or recommend a budget for 1967-68 at this time," due to the fact that the state legislature has not as of yet approved any funds for the University. INEFFECTIVE DEVICE: CEEIJ Examinations Receive Crinticsm During Test Parley Of Architecture TO MAKE SUGGESTIONS: Gradate ssem Graduate Assembly Considers Merits, Flaws in Proposed Housing Ordinance Program Testing in general and College Board Exams in particular came in for strong criticism last week at a meeting of the College En- trance Examintion B o a r d (CEEB) commission on tests in Washington, D.C. The CEEB prepares the tests which are used by most colleges and universities, including the University, in determining stu- dent admissions. The Scholastic Aptitude Tests (SAT) of verbal and mathematical ability, as well as aptitude tests in specific areas of study are among those which the board has compiled. But the tests have been criticiz- ed by some students and adminis- trators as ineffective measuring devices and by others as effective measures of the wrong abilities. Early in 1967 the board appoint- ed a 21-member commission con- sisting of university professors, high school administrators, stu- dent representatives and other consultants to make a three-year study of existing examinations and to propose changes. At last week's meeting, Kenneth Clark, professor of psychology at the City University of New York, told the group that "tests can only measure retention of what nna hC hp n nncz-d+n i e.a Critics are also worried about the validity of tests for the ex- tremely able students. Banesh Hoffman, co-chairman of project physics at Harvard, charged that the tests can't identify the unus- ually creative person. The University uses a prospec- tive student's CEEB test scores along with his high school rec- ord and counselor's recommenda- tions to determine his admissabil- ity, according to Clifford F. Sjor- gren, assistant director of admis- sions. "The University has no set cut-off policy regarding SAT scores," Sjorgren said. "We have never turned down a student solely on the basis of his board scores -something else had to be marg- inal." Sjorgren agreed that the CEEB tests were not designed to meas- ure creativity. -He felt, however, that no test could do this, and said the University relies on coun- selor's records and teacher's com- ments to judge such items. Sjorgren said it is University' admissions policy to make allow- ances for cultural and language differences among applicants, "not just with Southern Mississippi Ne- groes but with rural Michigan and intercity Detroit students as well." Regental approval was grantea yesterday to revisions in the arch- itecture program changing the per- iod of study required for the first professional degree in architecture from the present five years to six, as the Regents held their regular monthly meeting. The new program will consist of a two-year pre-professional pro- gram and a four-year architectur- al curriculum. The pre-architec- tural program involves both re- quired and elective course work in general studies which may be tak- en in the University's' literary- col- lege, junior colleges, or other ac- credited institutions. The administration had asked the Regents to meet earlier this month, hoping that it would be possible to consider the Universi- ty's 1967-68 budget. However, since the Legislature has not yet acted on Gov. George Romney's fiscal reform program or the state ap- propriations budget, University President Harlan Hatcher told the Regents: "Under these circum- stances, we cannot make or rec- ommend a budget for 1967-68 at this time." "The University administration has been in daily touch with the situation," Hatcher said. "Our staff has kept budget data up to date to reflect possible changes in our fiscal requirements and re- sources." "It is a most difficult situation in which we are placed-particu- larly when we face inescapable pressures for upward adjustments of salaries and wages," he added. Hatcher indicated he would "call a special session of the Re- gents Just as soon as some action at Lansing indicates what our re- sources may be." In the meantime, Hatcher said, "planning which we can no long- er delay is going forward. These plans will be incorporated in a budget proposal which will be made as soon as our resources are known." Commenting on the architecture curriculum changes, College of Architecture and Design Dean Reginald F. Malcomson said, "If the architect is to assume his full responsibility to the community and fulfill his role as one of the key designers of the man-made environment, his cultural under- standing must match his techni- Court Bars Police Strikes In Detroit; Call-Ins Decline By JILL CRABTREE A proposed Ann Arbor city housing ordinance was the object of debate at Wednesday's meeting of Graduate Assembly. The ordinance, tentatively pass- ed at first reading by City Council June 12, would provide more space for students living in rooming houses and more specific designa- tions of responsibility for code violations. The ordinance will be by it. "If the city is willing to give us an opportunity to voice our opinions on legislation which per- tains to us, it is our duty to re- spond to the opportunity," he said. Ann Arbor presently operates under the state housing law, which was enacted in 1917. The new city ordinance differs from this law in several respects: -Special provisions are made rooming unit, or premises unless it is clean, sanitary and fit for human occupancy." The report submitted to council by Graduate Assembly, although generally supporting the new ordi- nance, points out some important considerations not covered in the present draft. One of these is the lack of protection for tenants fil- ing complaints of violations. The rennrt states that "a ten- "existing fire escapes are often made of wood, and that "such an enclosed fire escape has excellent chimney potential." To remedy this situation, the assembly has asked council for a requirement that fire escapes be made of "es- sentially non-combustible mate- kals." In addition, the report states that responsibility for removing and renlaeing storm windows and DETROIT () - A temporary court order barring police from striking was credited yesterday with cutting down a rash of sick call-ins by Detroit police.
