LXXVII, No. 65S ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, AUGUST 10, 1967 SEVEN CENTS After the CIA Scandal: ew Freedom for SIX PAGES NSA By STEPHEN FIRSHEIN Summer Co-editor Special To The Daily WASHINGTON -- It has been nearly six months since the Cen- tral Intelligence Agency (CIA) was caught with its finger in the NSA cookie jar, but people are still sweeping up the crumbs in a four story row house just off fashionable Connecticut Avenue. As the National Student Asso- ciation Headquarters readys for its twentieth congress there is an air of post-confessional vigor. Sam Brown, chairman of the NSA National Supervisory Board put it this way: "We call it 'the new freedom,' and it gives ug great op- portunities after the CIA revela- tion. We want to get out of our legislative bog and start acting on certain types of important things like Vietnam and the draft." Edward Schwartz, national af- fairs vice president noted, "we plan to tell the student congress what happened in past years; in this year and give them plenty of time to discuss it. Then we can go on to the important questions on NSA as an institution and what can be done to build it." To provide this forum, the of- ficers have decided to air the CIA topic first thing when the gather- ing convenes this Sunday at the tree shaded Georgian style Uni- versity of Maryland campus in the Washington suburbs. The opening day will feature a symposium entitled "Secrecy in a Free Society: the CIA"; from there, the 11,000 student leaders "I don't think the CIA affair is the biggest concern of the dele- in attendance will move on to a wide range of domestic and inter- national topics. The convocation will last until Aug. 26. The general feeling at head- quarters is that the CIA matter should be disposed of quickly, since financial ties have been broken, and since the 600 dele- gates will have more important busines to consider. People inter- viewed don't foresee a significant movement at the convention for extensive re-organization of NSA.. "There are some people who see changing the structure as a pana- cea, remarked Mike Vozick, NSA aid "but more crucial is the notion of what students are doing in the 60's. gates," seconded Noah Hudson, campus co-ordinator. What will concern the delegates is a diverse program of lectures, workshops and seminars. Nation- ally known speakers will include Senator Daniel Brewster (D-Md), Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass), former Presidential asst. Richard Goodwin, Asst. Sec. of State, Wil- liam Bundy, Harvard economist John Kenneth Galbraith, and U.S. Commissioner of Education Har- old Howe II. This program is aimed at what .Schwartz calls markedly improved student governments around the country which are "getting them- selves involved in anything going on at universities-more are will- ing to attack illegitimate author- ity." But NSA itself is also seeking to reach out beyond affiliate student government and to "relate to a much broader constituency," ac- cording to Vozick. "There is a realization of a need for progress. Students are looking for a context in which they can retain their self images while providing for change." NSA, in striving to meet these goals has been hampered by a number of frustrating problems w h i c h Schwartz enumerated: "First we don't have enough people and finances. For example, I'd like to see eight regional of- fices, but we can barely afford to adequately staff the national headquarters. But there also re- mains the question how do you get through to campuses - how do you arouse student govern- ments? Most students don't even feel an identity with their cam- puses much less with their stu- dent government and finally NSA. "We have a long way to go," he continued, "I think people have to get away from the idea that 15,000 persons staging a pro- test march is a national student movement." Action in both home and for- eign matters is the keynote of the conference, "If 300 student body presidents go to jail for refusing to comply with the draft," theor- ized Brown, "the effect would be electric.' ' But we can at least provide for an extensive program of draft counseling around the country. Richard D Stearns, international' affairs vice-president cites last spring's student body presidents' letter to the White House as evidence of this potential. "There are basically three dir- ections we can move in," Schw- artz said speaking more generally, "We have plenty of programs coming in state-wide and region- wide co-ordination projects. We can also set up networks between schools of similar types, say all- Negro or all-Catholic colleges. Finally, we can attempt to bring students with similar program in- terests together. Sterns believes these models can be applied internationally. "We've got to abandon the idea that if you get together with foreign stu- dents over tea the world's pro- blems will be solved. But Stearns too faces finan- cial difficulties: "the big problem now is convincing people who would support us that we intend to go on with our international pro- gram after the CIA mess." Commenting further on the disclosure Stearns said, "The reaction has not been as severe as expected. We underestimated the sophistication of most foreign students who have long experience dealing with antagonistic govern- ments. Also we did a better job than we thought in getting the stories overseas. There has been general sympathy with the NSA position vis-a-vis the CIA. Iron- ically, in fact, many people don't understand why we gave up our profitable relationship with our government." FUNDS NEEDED: REP To Add New Programs After Productive First Year By BETSY TURNER The Radical Education Project, with national headquarters in Ann Arbor, is beginning its second year of 'operation. Originally conceived as a pro- gram of Students for a Democratic Society, REP is now an "independ- ent education, research and pub- lication program," although it has continued its close cooperation with SDS. During its first year, REP has published oyer a dozen pamphlets, reprints and information sheets. Six study guides including ones on the "New Left," power in America, Marxism, U.S. Foreign History, and U.S.-Chinese Rela- tions have been distributed to peo- ple connected with the left "move- ment." REP has also prepared a book of original essays to be published by Doubleday next year. The book, entitled "Beyond Dissent: Papers from the New Left," includes essay on power and pluralism, economics of the national interest, labor, the nation's universities, electoral pol- itics, and civil rights. T Speaker's Bureau REP has also compiled a 28- page list consisting of people will- ing to speak on their respective fields of interest to SDS chapters across the country. In the past seven months, REP has also distributed a tape on the Vietnam War, called the "Prag- matic Warriors."' The 50-minute. tape consists of a series of 80 excerpts from newscasts and inter- views with soldiers on their way to or returning from Vietnam, and remarks made by pilots after they have returned from important raids there. State Tax Withholding To Begin in October, By WALLACE IMMEN The 2.6 per cent personal in- come tax approved by the state Legislature in June is scheduled to go into effect on Oct. 1. Any- one who makes $300 or more in the state between October and the end of the year must file an in- come tax return, according to Clarence Lock of the state budget bureau. Withholding by employers will be compulsory from paychecks of both residents and non-residents. The income of non-residents is not taxable, but non-residents who live in Michigan for more than 180 days, which includes all full-time students, are considered residents for tax purposes. Lock said this will not change any of the existing University or state residency reg- ulations. Non-residents and those who make less than $300 are not re- quired to file returns, but they must if they wish to get back the 2.6 per cent withheld from their paycheck. $1,200 Exemption A $1,200 personal exemption, twice the federal income tax de- duction, is allowed. However, be- cause the income tax is effective for only three months this year, only one fourth, or $300, will be' Permitted for each deduction. A table of other allowable deductions will be distributed next month. S Many of the details, such as the wording of the return forms and how they will be made available, are still to be worked out. A large, staff of new personnel is being hired to handle the increased bookkeeping necessary for the tax, but the system will also be com- puteriged as soon as possible, Lock said. The deadline for filing re- turns will be April 15. The bill taxes income from "any source whatever." For example, a student who earns $2,000, and also receives a $420 scholarship, will be able to subtract $1,200 from the total of $2,240 and then have to pay 2.6 per cent of the remaining $1,220 ($31). Married Student A.,vmn.ria - cf.,iAnt with nnAn dents to contact the state budget bureau in Lansing for specific in- formation. ..The $238 million in revenues from the tax will all be added to the state's general operating fund and can be allocated to any pro- gram. It had-been hoped that this would provide money to increase the state's higher education bud- get. However, while most of the other portions of the budget re- ceived substantial increases, there was no increase for higher educa- tion. The tax bill includes a clause which will reimburse individual counties with 17 per cent of their current property tax revenues. This will permit relief of up to 20 per cent on local property taxes. Problems are arising with the start of the tax. The budget ;.bu- reau claims that the money for this year will come in too late to take care of the budget needs this winter and the state may have to borrow to make up the difference. The entire package could also be determined unconstitutional. Attorney General Frank Kelley has been aksed to make a ruling. The ruling will be difficult, how- ever, because this is a flat rate tax and although the state constitu- tion forbids the institution of graduated income taxes, it makes no other specific mention of state- wide taxes. ' In- addition to publishing, REP has sponsored several conferences and workshops. A national con- ference concerning "Radicals in the Professions" held in' Ann Ar- bor last month was an REP spon- sored project. REP, during the past summer has also coordinated a number of summer research programs de- signed to train students in "power structure" research. One such project was held dur- ing June in Chicago, where over 60 people attended a power re- search institute. Participants at- tended classes where they learned how to pinpoint sources of power within a municipal city govern- ment. Eventually, it is hoped these "power researchers" will go into areas where community organ- izing projects already exist, re- search the area's power structure, and provide needed information to the permanent organizers. Commenting on the success of the past year's programs, one staff member said, "after 12 months of concentrating primarily on fund raising; the staff has settled down to more substantive ideas and plans for more long range, in- volved projects. If we can over- come the fund raising problem, REP will go far beyond the level of study guides and speakers bureaus." Next Year's Program A tentative outline for next year's program has already been laid out. Included in possible pro- gram ideas are: the publication of counter-curriculum material and the initiation of correspond- ing programs; commitments to further, more detailed research; preparation of critiques on par- ticular professions and academic discipliines, and organization of radical protest groups in various professions. During the past year, REP solicited and received private do- nations to provide funds for a $20,000 budget. The staff hopes to operate next year on the same or an expanded budget if funds can be raised. At the beginning of the summer, applications for grants and aid were made to various in- stitutions but none were received. Private donations are the sole source of support for the project. REP presently has a staff of. four full-time paid members re- ceiving a salary of $30 a week. If the necessary funds can be sec- ured, the staff will be expanded to at least six full time members. Most work is now done on a vol- untary basis. Boycott Plan Abandoned* For Present SHA Approves Rent; May Continue To Press For 8 Month Lease By LUCY KENNEDY "Most of our reasons for threat- ening a boycott of some Apart- ments Limited buildings have been taken care of," Tom Van Lente, grad, who is chairian of the Stu- dent Housing Association (SHA) said yesterday. "However, we still do not have an eight-month lease policy we are satisfied with," he added. "We intend to continue to pressure Apartments Limited and all the other managers on campus for an eight-month lease with no increase in rents." Until yesterday, SHA and the Student Rental Union (SRU) were considering organizing a boycott of four buildings under the man- agement of Apartments Limited that were formerly under the con- trol of Ron Smith. Last night the managers of Apartments Limited announced that they had obtained control of damage deposits in all of their buildings. Inequitable treatment in dam- age deposit refunds and high rents had been the chief complaints of SHA and SRU. "Apartments Limited have low- ered their rents to the point where we feel they are in line with the rest of the campus, Van Lente said. Apartments Limited announced yesterday a transitional leasing policy has been set up to allow students to break a 12-month, lease at the end of the winter; term. To do this, they must find! someone who is willing to sublet! for the other four months, put up another damage deposit and sign a new lease. "The chief advantage of this," an Apartments Limited spokesman explained, "is that students will not have to face the responsibility, of still leasing an apartment over the summer." In the past students have had to hold the apartment in their name and sublet. "I'm not sure I approve of thej pressure tactics employed," Karl Malcolm of Apartments Limited= commented, "in trying to makej improvements. I think, however,1 it has been good to set up com- munications with students." SHA is planing to publish a list-1 ing of apartments by what they consider their worth. This may serve as an automatic boycott, Van Lente said. Warn Strike Might Close City Schools Board of Education. ; Opens Contract Talks, Cancels Millage Vote By BILL COPI Donald Newstad, president of the Ann Arbor Teacher's Associa- tion, warned the Board of Edu- cation last night that Ann Arbor may be faced with a teachers' strike. The board and association ne- gotiators had reached agreement on a new contract for the next school year, but there is general teacher dissatisfaction with the contract. In addition, the board has discovered it has more money that it must spend next year. At last night's meeting the head of negotiators for the teachers said he would ask the teachers at their meeting tomorrow to ask for a reopening of negotiations. The board was asked if they would agree to do this. Hazen Schumacher, board chair presi- dent, said he would check with the board's legal council and re- open negotiations. Newsted said that "if the letters and phone calls he has received from teachers "are any indication of the feelings of the teachers," "the master agreement will not be ratified." He said that "the honeymoon is over. We've got many teachers who are going to stand behind us for the new negotiations." Newsted said the board should impress, upon board members and the board's attorney, absent from last night's meeting, that "we're serious." Newsted said the teachers want- ed the negotiations reopened be- cause of the information received last week by the board that the capital reserve fund, now $2,563,- 538, was being held illegally. This means the board of education has to incorporate this money into the budget for the next school year. The teachers went to the bar- gaining table last month asking for a $2.1 million package. How- ever, they came out with a $1.58 million package. The consequence of this, dis- covery was the cancellation of a school millage vote, which had been slated for Aug. 28. The board voted unanimously last night to cancel this vote. -Daily-Thomas R. Copi STUDENTS QUESTIONED around campus yesterday felt that the University was not to blame for yesterday's tuition increase. Students interviewed included (top-left to right) Louise Fleece, '71, Ken Jones, '68E, Frank Miller, '68A&D (bottom) Richard Winegarden, '71, Peter Roan, '69 and Cindy Goldstein, 70. Students Speak on Tuition Hike: 'Bad Dealfrom Legislature' By JOHN GRAY "We got a really bad deal from the Legislature," says Peter Roan, '69. Roan, like most of the Univer- sity's students, does not blame the Regents for the tuition hike which they approved at their meeting on Tuesday. The Regents says that a lower-than-expected appropri- ation from the State Legislature forced them -to raise student fees. Roan explains that he thinks "the Legislature favors MSU a lot, more than they do us. For one think, it's because of the political activity on this campus." Michigan State was also forced to raise tuition for next year be- cause of a low state appropriation. Blame Legislature Other st ud en ts 'interviewed around campus had come to much the same conclusion as Roan, if not for the same reason. Ken Jones, '68E, says that "the fault lies not with the school but with the State Legislature. They have representatives up there from the country representing pigs and telephone poles instead of having more the city where the people are." "It's just the ignorant State Legislature," he concludes. One ex-student, Laurence Mo- nero, '64, thinks that the state has shirked its responsibility to the University: "If you're going to make the pretence of having a state university the state should fulfill its responsibility by funding it. " cerned with the added expense imposed by the tuition hike. Frank Miller, '68A&D; says that he, for one, earns "enough so the increase won't really phase me. I don't like it, but if that's what it's going to be that's what I'm going to pay." Miller is an in- state student. Undergraduate tuition went up $72 per year for in-state students and $300 per year for out-of-state students. Richard Winegarden, '71 of Grosse Ile, says that "I don't think the $72 is going to hurt anyone very much. What's really going to hurt is . the out-of-state hike. They're not getting any more, so why should they pay more?" "My parents are paying my way here, so I don't care," says Louise Fleece, '71, also of Grosse Ile. "Some other colleges are going up on an income basis, you know, on how much your family makes, and I like it better this way." Students on full-tuition scholar- ships seem to be the least con- cerned. Their scholarships auto- matically pay any increase in tui- tion. 'It's Reasonable' Jones says "it's reasonable. I just transferred here from a pri- vate college and for out-of-state people it costs about the same. It's fair, considering the circum- stances." Eileen' Stein. '65Ed disagrees. "It's as expensive as a private in- stitution now, and if it's a state institution it shouldn't be." "For example, the University of North Carolina has a fine reputa- tion and tuition there is only $650 a year for out-of-state graduate students. That could be a strong factor when I'm making plans." Judy Bossen has a friend, she says, "whose chances of ever com- ing back here again might be sev- erely decreased by the new tui- tion rates." Linda Johnson, '69, says "All its going to do is cut down on the amount of clothes I'm going to be able to buy." ACLU Suit Seeks To Limit Government Power in Riots Kamisar Blasts Courts' Critics, Urges. Higher Pay for Lawmen Prof. Yale Kamisar of the Law School yesterday attacked critics of current courtroom Justice for attempting to blame society's problems on scapegoats. Kamisar, addressing the Crim- inal Law Section of the Ameri- can Bar Association in Honolulu, Hawaii, maintained that the courts do not "tilt the scales He maintained that the courts have not downgraded law enforce- ment officials. Police and prosecu- tors, according to Kamisar, are overburdened with trivia that pre- vents them from concentrating on their primary tasks. "The American people," Kami- sar haid, "are prepared to do any- thing to win the war against crime lice officer's salary to $10,000 a year and making the prosecutor's job full-time with a salary of $15,000-$17,500 a year will do more good than attacking the courts.

The American Civil Liberties Union filed charges in U.S. Dis- trict Court against Gov. Richard Hughes of New Jersey and the heads of the state police and national guard. The charges stem from an incident that occurred during civil unrest in Newart last month. When 45 carbines were stolen from amunitions factory in New Jersey, a mass house-to-house search was conducted in a Negro The state police report the searches turned up seven of the stolen weapons. The suit was filed under the auspices of the American Civil Liberties Union, the Plainfield branch of the National Associa- tion for Advancement of Colored People, the American Jewish Con- gress and the Scholarship, Edu- cation and Education and Defense Fund for Racial Equality. According to a statement by the ACLU, the plaintiffs are 63 Negro families "whose homes w e r e searched without warrants" on July 19, one woman whose home was searched on July 25 and two families whose homes were search-
