EXPECT WALKOUT: WSU Committee Overrules Staff Choice for New Editor By NEAL BRUSS Special To The Daily DETROIT--Staff writers of the Wayne State University student newspaper, the Daily Collegian, are expected to resign next month when a new editor appointed against their recommendations takes control of the paper. Arthur Johnston, head of a student course evaluation com- mittee and a former Collegian columnist, was elected editor by the Publications Comm'ittee of NEWS WIRE t ~ Late World News By The Associated Press WASHINGTON-The House passed yesterday a $21.4 billion defense procurement authorization bill with emphasis on speed- ing up construction of a nuclear powered surface Navy. The measure, approved by roll call vote, would authorize $368 million more than the administration requested and the Senate previously passed. It returns to the Senate for considera- tion of House changes. PLANS TO CONDUCT a Selective Service College Quali- fication Test for high school seniors and college students next fall have been cancelled because of the current uncertain future of college student deferments, Selective Service Director Lewis B. Hershey said. Until the question of deferments is resolved, it has been decided to defer plans for additional tests, Hershey said. DETROIT-Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey is coining Michigan for a one-day whit! tomorrow, the Associated Press reported. Undoubtedly his most important stop wil be lunch with the presidents of the four largest automakers and the chairmen of 1% "ree of them. Safety and air pollution are likely topics. And a possibility is the likelihood of strikes in new contract bargaining with the United Auto Workers Union. President Walter P. Reuther privately could not be deter- mimed immediately either from Humphrey's or Reuther's offices. * * * * 4 STUDENTS AT ALLEN UNIVERSITY enforced a total boy- cott of classes with a picket line and declared the institution closed yesterday. The boycott was called to demonstrate student support of college president, Benjamin J. Glover and faculty dean, V. Dewey Annakin over the issue of who has the authority to determine faculty contracts. Glover and Annakin had refused to offer a new contract to one teacher and had interpreted the actions of two other teachers who did not return their contracts as resignations. The two men were overruled, however, by the other members of the Board of Trustees. WSU's Student-Faculty Council. Johnston defeated Frank Gag- non, current associate managing editor of the Collegian and the unanimous choice of the paper's staff. Two other Collegian writers withdrew from the editorial cam- paign in favor of Gagnon and leaving him Johnston's only oppo- nent. Who Will Work? "The problem now is how many# staffers will work when Johnston becomes editor in early June," says Frank Gill, faculty advisor for the Collegian. "Some of them are bound to quit." Collegian staff members refused to comment on Gill's remarks or state their plans regarding John- ston's takeover.- Following Johnston's selectionI by the Publications Committee, the staff threatened to strike and demanded that editors be chosen by an all-staff vote. The strike was not called, and no action has been taken on changing appointment procedures. Publications Committee ? The Publications Committee consists of four students and three faculty members. They se- lected Johnston May 3 by a 5-21 vote. The following day, the Stu- dent - Faculty Council accepted their action. Theaconflict over appointments is a continuation of a year-long quarrel between current Collegian. Editor Vartan Kupelian and Char- les Larson, chairman of the Stu- dent-Faculty Council, according to Gill and WSU students. "It's a personal-political feud," one student says. Others add that the quarrel has beenbased at times on news judgments and ac- curacy in the Collegian. Appointment Politics "I've never known such politics over appointments in 20 years as advisor," Gill says. Johnston was an editorial col- umnist for the Collegian for a year until his resignation last October "in protest over Collegian policy.". He alleges that he was denied an appointment as editorial direc- tor on Kupelian's staff because of his political views. Johnston says that he suggest- ed all-staff election of editors and the disbanding of the Pub- lications Committee before the staff's reaction to his selection. Discuss Anti-Draft Activities, Pass Resolution il Support of Wayne 'Power' Movement By AVIVA KEMPNER Voice political party last night debated the issue of setting up a draft resistance movement. The discussion was prompted by an appeal of one member who asked for support in his personal con- frontation with the Selective Serv- ive Board. The member is presently being investigated by the Federal Bu- reau of Investigation for anti- draft activities. He asked Voice to consider possible action if he is arrested. Decision upon a definitet course of action was postponed until next week. Possible Plans Possible plans included the es-i tablishment of an anti-draft union or draft counselling center similar to the one established by Father Gracie in Detroit. But the legiti- macy of students with draft defer- ments sponsoring such an organ- ization was argued. Voice members also discussed the relationship between the cur- rent draft system and the Vietnam war and American foreign policy. Representatives from Wayne State University reported on their student movement. Voice endorsedI a resolution which supports the Wayne movement. Voice Resolution The Voice resolution stated that+ Voice, "in light of its own cam-1 pus civil liberties experience, sup-f ports the Wayne student move-1 ment in its attempt to eliminate all forms of political and social intimidation of students and all invasions of student civil liberties by the Wayne State administra- tion." , Because "files make the univer- sity a factory of 'yes-men,' in-j vade the right of privacy and in- hibit the right of political activ- ity,"ethe statement asserted that Voice reiterated "its demand of student control over student af- fairs in Michigan and the rest' of the nation. Voice members also discussed{ possible summer plans. Nomina-; tions for summer officers were made. Tomorrow evening Peter Stein- berger, Grad, will talk about Joint Judiciary at the Guild House. PENTAGON SIT-IN A group of anti-war demonstrators managed to get inside the Pentagon yesterday but were stopped in an attempt to enter the office o the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The group was part of a 50-member delegation of the Committee for Nonviolent Action which marched to the Pentagon to protest fie Vietnam war and the draft.

Fleming. Staff members of the paper, Connections, will come here today to sell the paper entitled "Robben Head" and to travel around cam- pus presenting a ten-minute morality play comparing Fleming and current University President Harlan Hatcher. Bruce Kahn, '68, SGC president, will consider the Voice request to, day. If the sales and play aret ppvt the .Con will be asked to leave campus. Al- though officially banned, the paper is still sold on the Wiscon- sin campus where a similar moral. ity play was presented. According to Dan Fitzpatrick; assistant di- rector of student organizations, authority to halt sales belongs to SGC- The Office of Student Af- fairs has no present plan for cen- sorship. Play's Purpose "The purpose of both the play and paper is to point out what kind of administrator Fleming has been behind his sham liberal f a- cade," Elizabeth Huin, one of the editors of Connections, said. The play is centered on a comparison of Fleming's behavior during a student protest of Dow Chemical Co. activities with Hatcher's here. "Hatcher and Fleming are basic- ally the same, but Fleming is more slick," Miss Huln explained. Fleming said he was not taking the attack too seriously. "I'm sub- ject to legitimate criticism, but the writers of these articles ap-. pear to have started with a con- clusion and used statements en- tirely out of context to support it They don't know, or make use of, all the facts," he said. "Other c r i t i c i s m s could be better grounded." The president-elect noted that while the Robin Hood parody was a good pun, it seemed inapprop- riate. "Robin Hood was a hero, after all," he said, "while the paper calls me an immoral dish o n o r a b le war-mongering Fascist." Paper's Validity Fleming concluded that the va- lidity of the paper depends on the reader's point of view. Fleming also commented on the recent student referendum at Wisconsin. Although students ap- proved a bill to transfer control of non-academic affairs from fac- ulty and administration to the Wisconsin Student Association, a dispute has arisen in the school's Student Senate over implementa- tion of the measure. A more lib- eral student party which includes members of Students for a Demo- crate Society has broken with the majority party, and is demanding immediate implentation of the bill. The faculty must approve any implementation measure but stu- dents have not yet presented any plans. Fleming explained that the administration will approve any le Holds Day of Inquiry' Examine Viet War YALE UNIVERSITY CHAPLAIN: Coffin ss Unity of ni- r Forces For Vietnam Teach-Ou Over Summer By WALTER SHAPIRO behind Vietnam Summer, "His- Washington with say 300,000 peo- torically the splitting of the left ple.
