Theta Chi was offered about $28,-
000 for their property in 1965 by
Campus-City Associates. A second
offer of around $45,000 by Cam-
pus-City was received in the
spring of 1966.
Among the partners listed on
file in the County Clerk's Office
are J. Don Johnson, EMU Re-
gent, and three other members of
the board of directors of the Na-
tional Bank of Ypsilanti. In addi-
tion Regent Lawrence's three law
partners are also listed as partners
of Campus-City Associates. And
the business address for Campus-
City Associates is listed as the
same as Regent Lawrence's law
firm in Ypsilanti.
Shortly after refusing Campus-
City's second offer, Theta Chi wasI
contacted by Roderick Shear, ad-
ministration advisor to the Inter-
Fraternity Council at EMU, who
told the fraternity to correct phys-
ical deficiencies on their property
and correct financial laxities.
Shear indicated that if these
abuses were not corrected the fra-
' ternity might lose their fraternity
house.

Retgeits Approve $35,000 Budge
To Seek Qualified Negro Person
By MARK LEVIN
A report prepared by the Office of Financial Statistics, prese
to the Board of Regents at their April meeting, shows a drop in
percentage of Negroes employed in non-academic positions by
University since December 1962.
However the report does indicate a hike of over 2,000 in
total number of Negro employes since December 1961 and shc
steady increase in percentages since December 1964.
According to Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer W:
K. Pierpont, the report is filed regularly once a year with the fe
goverunient in accordance with research contract agreements.
At Pierpont's suggestion, the Regents approved the apprc
tion of $35,000 for a three-man staff to intensify present effoi
obtaining qualified Negro per- -
sonnel.
"Whatever we might have done,
everyone is in general agreement
that we should intensify our ef-
forts," Pierpont commented.
Pierpont suggested that the ad-
ditional staff members could make 7
improvements in the following l lhflfl

his speech, Husain received an honorary doctor of law degree along with 23 other honorary degree
recipients. Most of them were also educators who attended the Sesquicentennial conference on
"Higher Education in Tomorrow's World."

[ A CAMPUS-WIDE referendum on a bill which would abolish
all faculty and administration power over non-classroom student
life is being held today at the University of Wisconsin.
The Wisconsin Student Senate voted unanimously April 28
to sponsor the vote which will be binding on the Wisconsin
Students Association (WSA). It the referendum should pass, it
would give WSA control of all regulatory aspects of non-class-
room student life,

LEADERS OF A THREE-DAY demonstration at the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania protesting germ warfare research have re-
jected Penn president Gaylord P. Harnwell's proposal for a stu-
dent referendum on the projects, known as Spice Rack and
Summit.
Harnwell's proposal was made during an inpromptu meeting
of more than 200 students jamming the school's College Hall
April 26, as approximately 110 protestors began a sit-in.
Harnwell said he was personally opposed to chemical and
biological warfare but he does not think it is inappropriate for
CB research to be carried on at the University City Science
Center, which is scheduled to take over Spice Rack and Summit
in July,

the heaviest loss has been that of
moral identity." Husain described
the average individual as having
"no self, no inner identity, noth-
ing in him that can be esteemed
as unique."
The educators possess the abil-
ity to restore the moral force of
the individual, since it is "part
of the educator's function to labor
to change these conditions when
necessary and anticipate the fu-
ture," Husain said. "Education
should consist in stimulating a
search for values, in their cour
ageous affirmation even under
the most adverse conditions and
in their expression in all activi-
ties so far as possible," he ex-
plained,
"Only when education assumes
this function . . . can men give
a moral purpose to his life, his
institutions and to the state as a
whole," Husain continued.

Pierpont explained.
Pierpont said the report was the
result of "a great many hours of
concentrated efforts last month."4
He predicted that "a substantial
next move" might come after an
evaluation of the effectiveness of
the new program.
Pierpont said that the new pro-
grams would "not answer all 16
points made" by a Defense De-
partment report released last
March, but "would respond spe-
cifically to many of them."
Pierpont, in answer to a ques-
tion from Regent Otis Smith, in-
dicated that he had consulted
with the faculty before making{
the recommendations. He said that.
the faculty was disturbed over the
tone of the Defense Department
report.
