LXXVII, No. 348 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 21, 1967 SEVEN CENTS SIX PAG Voice Votes On Positions Of Dlegates w Decide on Mandates For SDS Naitonal Contention at 'U' By AVIVA KEMPNER Voice political party last night passed several mandates for its delegates to present at the na- tional convention of Students for a Democratic Society which will be held in Ann Arbor June 25-30. After reconsidering and rejecting a mandate passed at last week's meeting, members decided upon a new stand on the issue of teach- er-organizers who are trained and provided -by the National Office to educate chapters. The mandate states that the national office send a list of these organizers to the regional and local chapters who can hire those of their own selec- tian if they want one. And those trained candidates not hired will then be assigned by the national office in consultation with the chapters. Mandates involving the internal organization of the national office and re quiring constitutional amendments were also passed. In the future Voice wants all the na- tional officers to be elected for political positions, and for the of- ficers to act on their political platforms. Members also voted that the announcements for candidacy, platforms and ideological docu- ments be printed in the New Left Notes, the SDS newspaper, well in advance of the national conven- tions. The complaints about the editorial policy df this newspa- per were asked to be reviewed. And national officers will be re- quested not to make statements to the press, even of a personal nature, unless approved by the SDS organization. The mandates will be brought up during the plenary sessions of the convention. The Voice dele- Sgates will vote on them in pro- portion to the count of last night's vote. Voice claimed it has 180 paid members which would entitle them to 36 delegates. But Carl Davidson, SDS Vice-president, informed the members last night that the Na- tional Office checked up on Voice's claims, and accounted for only 117 paid members. Senate Committee ,r+ EWe Wit n bil NEWS WIRE Makes /Cuts Further U' Budge ATLANTA, Ga.-At least three persons were shot-one fats lly-Tuesday as violence erupted in a predominantly Negro neighborhood for the fourth straight night. As the violence flared, police reinforcements immediately were rushed to the area. Police Supt. J. F.

"Neither officer fired a shot," Brown said.

The measure would set penalties of fine and imprisonment for casting contempt on the flag by defacing, defiling, mutilating or tramplin; on it or any representation of it. Similar existing laws in all 50 states would remain in effect. A CONTRACT WITH the Federal Housing Assistance Admin- istiration which will permit the city to construct 200 low-income housing units was approved unanimously by Ann Arbor City Council last night. Under the contract, the federal government will reserve $3 7 million for coistruction of the units, which must be started by next April.

THIRD WARD COUNCILMAN John C. Feldkamp and James J. White, associate professor of law, have submitted letters to Ann Arbor City Council questioning University policy on charging hourly fees or membership fEes in the "University of Michigan Tennis Club" to use University tennis courts. It was Feldkamp's contention that such action could give rise to the city, somehow restricting the use of municipal facilities. or charging fees for such use. White said that students already use city courts a great deal and that restrictive measures on University courts would "aggravate the crowding which already exists on the city courts." * . * * * FINAL EXAMS for spring half-term (IIIa) courses will be conducted Thursday and Friday of this week.

M'ay Attempt PassaaeOf State Budget Bipartisan Opposition Holds Up Decision On $465.5 M Request LANSING (P)--Majority Repub- licans beat the Senate bushes yes- terday in an effort to win enough votes to overcome bipartisan op- position to passage of $465.5 mil- lion in spending bills for fiscal 1967-68. The seven bills were reported out of the Senate Appropriations Committee late Monday night and the Republican leadership had planned to debate the bills, sus- pend Senatearules and pass them Tuesday - all within 24 hours of reporting them out of committee and with only 10 days remain- ing in the current fiscal year. But apparently unexpected op- positionadeveloped in the GOP ranks and, following aone-hour caucus, Majority Leader Emil Lockwood (R-St. Louis) said the vote would be delayed until late today. "We didn't have the 20 votes to- day to vote them through," Lock- wood said, adding that he was hopeful "we'll have 20 tomorrow. There was some speculation that the senators, who have passed a fiscal reform package of their own, were holding back until the House votes on its fiscal plan-scheduled for today. However, Senate leaders express- ed little optimism that a House Republican fiscal package will be able to gain the necessary votes for passage. It was apparent that a substan- tial number of the 20 Senate Re- publicans were reluctant to vote "yes" on the bills. Democratic sources indicated that possibly as many as six of the 18 Democrats would contribute their votes to- ward the 20 needed for passage. Lockwood said the reluctant Re- publicans expressed "varied" com- plaints in caucus. Floor debate turned up sur- prisingly little opposition to the bills, which would spend $12.5 mil- lion less than current appropria- tions and $61.6 million less than recommended by Gov. George Romney. The measures, which make up slightly less than half of the fiscal 1967-68 general fund budget call for increases over present levels in the areas of education, mental health and corrections. It has been estimated that when House and Senate appropriations bills are combined with school aid the resulting fiscal 1967-68 budget will total in the vicinity of 1.076 billion. This would top by almost $100 million the austerity budget Rom- ney has said will be necessary if the legislature fails to pass tax reform measures. Romney has' recommended a total budget of $1.153 billion pro- vided it is accompanied by fiscal -Dany-Andy Sacks IN LANS'ING YESTERDAY, Gov. George Romney expressed dismay at the impasse the legislature had reached over the fiscal reform program. In response to a question from Student Government Council President Bruce Kahn, Romney gestures (above) that "there is nothing I can do; give me . any program of fiscal reform with a income tax and I'll accept it." Ryt u Discus Fical efor Bill Reqie Tuition Hike Officials Say Increase Will Bring in Needed Operating Revenues By WALLACE IMMEN The Senate Appropriations Com- mittee released its education bud- get yesterday, cutting the Uni- versity's share to $58.6 million and. adding wording intended to force a tuition increase for out-of-state students. The budget figure is $3.6 million below Gov. George Romney's orig- inal budget request and $17.1 mil- lion les than the University had requested for next year's opera- tion. "Thiseallotment is obviously in- adequate," University Executive Vice President Marvin L. Niehuss said yesterday. He was in Lansing yesterday afternoon to speak with Legislators and observe floor de- bate on the budget clauses. In that session, Sen. Garland Lane (D-Flint), said that if tui- tion increases are instituted as instructed, the University will have at least two million more than the appropriation. The total education appropria- tion this year is $240.1 million, with all but $40 million going for operational costs. The bill would require that In order to receive state appropria- tions. a college charge 75 Per cent of the cst of education for ot-of state students. Beadle said that budget fig- " ures indicate tuition ranges be- tween 35 and 85 per cent of the total per-student cost of educa- tion. He explained that the ap- propriations figures were based on making up the difference between recoimendations with additional tuition revenues. tAt the University, out-of-state tuition constitutes about 50 per ceit of the total cost of their schooling, a source indicated yes- terday.) Sen. Gilbert Bursley (R-Ann Ar- bor) objected to the effect an out- of-state tuition hike would have on the 25,000 out-of-state students in the state. He said that al- though it would bring in $15 mil- lion, it would drive away a large segment of these students, "whose presence improves the quality of Michigan students." Sen. Roger Craig (D-Dearborn) labeled the increase as "stupid and irresponsible" and said it would limit attendance to "the rich and well-born." "If we do something with tui- tion," he said, "we should de- crease it, not increase it."' Another clause in the bill would limit out-of state students to the number curently enrolled. Niehuss said that the University has had a similar policy for several years to give the many in-state students a better chance for admission. He added that although there have been attempts in the past to limit out-state enrollents, this is the first time that it has ever been put in writing. Allocations for the eleven other colleges on the budget were also slashed below Romney's recom- mendations. William R. Keast, See SENATE, page 2 OPENS SUNDA Y: SDS Convention Here May Air Local-National Conflicts By ANDY SACKS Daily News Feature It was a pleasant summer after- noon, and the students who gath- ered on the steps of the state Capitol had come for an honest purpose. They wanted more money for their universities. Fifteen high-ranking student government leaders from Michigan State Uni- versity, Eastern Michigan Univer- sity, Wayne State University and the University of Michigan heard the rumor that the state legisla- ture was about to kill any kind of fiscal reform package they had been considering. If this hap- pened, the budget each school had submitted would be cut to pieces, and the student bodies would probably have to make up the_ difference in the form of increas- ed tuitions. So on the steps of the state Capitol the leaders dra- fted a statement. Chuck Larson, president of the WSU Student Faculty Council, and student government council President Bruce Kahn w r o t e it out, essentially telling it like By WALTER SHAPIRO Daily News Analysis The national convention of Stu- dents for a Democratic Society (SDS), beginning here Sunday, is r likely to focus on the relationship between local chapters and the national office. Several local chapters, including Voice political party, the Ann Ar- bor chapter, have become increas- ingly disturbed at the lack of democracy they perceive in the national office. "It is a crucial point whether SDS can continue to exist with the lack of democracy in the na- tional office," Gary Rothberger, '67, Voice chairman, said yester- day. The focus of these objections is the national office's relationship with the press, the organization of the SDS internal publication, New Left Notes, and the training of teacher-organizers. Voice's objections are of crucial importance, since it is estimated that Voice will have as many as ~ 25 per cent of the votes at the. convention. This is a result of both the higher delegate attend- ance since the convention is in Ann Arbor and Voice, with 180 paid-up members, being the larg- est SDS chapter in the country. Carl Davidson, SDS vice-presi- , dent, arrived in Ann Arbor yes- terday "to try to talk some things out ahead of time." He de- scribed most of the objections as "unfounded" and called the na- tional office "far too confused to be undemocratic." A major problem grew out of SDS national chairman, in which he was allegedly misquoted and his statements of personal opinion were interpreted as SDS policy. A dispute arising from this could' easily become entangled with the{ election of a new president for SDS. Davidson is again a candi- ate, and it is likely that at least; one critic of the national office will also run for president. Among the names mentioned as possible candidates are Chester and Bob Speck of New York. The whole arrangement of the national office will be altered if a proposed constitutional amend-. ment is approved. It would abolish the office of president and vice- president and substitute three sec- retaries in their place who would work out of the national office. This amendment reflects the problems of the current proce- dure of having both president and vice-president on the road and only the national secretary in the national office. This results, as in the Calvert interview, with the national secretary being portrayed as a spokesman for all of SDS. The Convention is likely to con- sider activities among non-stu- dent groups such as labor and professional's who some claim constitute a "new working class" of those whose jobs are threaten- ed by automation. This is not likely to effect the traditional SDS emphasis on stu- dents, however. Davidson said, "The general consensus of agree- ment is in building a larger and more radical student movement." The convention will also eval- versity, the draft, liberation of women, foreign policy, electoral politics, labor and the professions. Plenary sessions to be held Thursday and Friday in Natural Science Auditorium will consider constitutional amendments, policy questions, reports from workshops,. and the election of officer. Immediately following the con- vention there will be a two day meeting here of the SDS National Council. The National Council, about one-fourth the size of the convention, is expected to follow the lead of the convention. Out-of-State Student ,Problem Elucidated' it should be, but tempering their emotions w i th down-to-earth press release platitudes. Someone else called the press. By the time the statement was done, the Capitol reporters from the big city papers, the wire ser- vices, and even a TV film camera- man, were on the scene. The next event was the descent of Gov. George Romney from his office to the parking lot, where the students had planted them- selves for a polite sort of am- bush. He came and they got him. The press gathered around, and it looked like a Huntley-Brinkley film clip, the sound track being the best part, for the governor said that he was helpless. He said it was party squabbling that was the culprit. He pleaded, with his hands outstretched, "Give me any program of fiscal reform with an income tax, and I'll accept it; but otherwise, what can I do?" For a minute he lost himself and thought he was behind a lecturn, jabbing his finger into the air like at the Republican Con- ventions. But soon he remember- ed where he was, and snapped out, of it. He left, but one of the stu dents said he wasn't disappoint- ed at Romney's short song and dance. In a way, it added excite- ment to the day, he said. Next an assault was launched on the Capitol itself, where the stu- dents wanted to meet with their respective legislators. By KAREN KUGELL One out of every nine under- graduates at state colleges and universities comes from an out- of-state home, David A. Strand reports in a doctoral dissertation completed this spring at Indiana University. Differentiation between in-state and out-of-state undergraduates Vl GiVilll, occurs mainly in the area of fees. Larger institutions are more likely to use fees as a deterent to out- of-state students, Strand says. The education spending bill re- ported out of the State Senate Appropriations Committee, yester- day would require Michigan's eleven state-supported colleges and universities to increase fee differentiation. The Senate bill would make the charging of out- of-state students for at least seventy-five per cent of the cost of their education a necessary remedy for reduced state funds. Present fees for out-of-state stu- dents range between 35 and 64 per cent of the cost of their education. One-to-Four Ratio At the University, out-of-state students are currently accepted at a ratio of one to four. Out-of- state fees of $500 per semester represent 50 per cent of the cost of education, according to a Uni- versity source. In-state tuition is $174 per semester. Strand cites another area of dif- ferentiation in admissions stan- dards. At the University, the in- state student is accepted on the probability that he will attain a C average. Clyde Vroman, Director of Admissions, said "we must weigh the entire record of the nnt-of-state student nagainst the House Passes Draft Plan; Johnson Approval Expected WASHINGTON (A)-With only token oposition, the House yester- day passed and sent to President Johnson a revised draft plan which gives undergraduate college students deferments as a matter of right.
