FIRE THIS TIME FULFILLS PROPHECY See editorial page Sit ian Iat FAIRLY COOL High-76 Low-45 Warming trend over the weekend Seventy-Six Years of Editorial Freedom VOL. LXXVII, No. 67S ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SATURDAY, AUGUST 12, 1967 SEVEN CENTS FOUR PA Ann By JILL CRABThEE Tradition has it that Ann Arbor "becomes a village" when summer arrives. Many people believe nothing happens on campus during the long four months between winter term finals and the first all-cam- pus mixer in the fall. With about two-thirds of the University's scholars, young and old, off to recuperate from the past year and r brace themselves for the next, what can happen? But the city is not entirely life- less, nor is the University. Those students who remained at school for half or all of the spring-sum- mer trimester were the same struggling souls they were in fall and winter, though a bit warmer. Ann Arbor businessmen still profited off them, city officials still griped about them, and those rbor: administrators who also remained9 in the city tried to keep them "un- der control." This summer, classes began on May 3. But the action didn't wait for the first day of the term, or for the first issue of The Daily. Two days before, the municipal court ruled that the much-debated+ film "Flaming Creatures" was ad- missable as evidence in the Cine- ma Guild "obscenity" hearings.

June was an eventful month. It saw the resignation of Regent Frederick C. Matthael, and the appointment of his son to finish out his term. A liaison commit- tee between University students and city officials was established, and a new city housing ordinance was passed, designating responsi- bility for mose care and main- tenance of apartments to land- lords. Voice, the University chapter of Students for a Democratic So- ciety, was refused University funds to subsidize their national conven- tion here on the grounds that the convention could not be consid- ered an "educational experience." The convention was still held here, however, and for a week Ann Ar- bor overflowed with students again. Ha pening, The Senate Appropriations Com- mittee cut the state higher educa-. tion budget to $58.6 million, and added wording intended to make out-of-state students bear the brunt of tuition increases; to the tune of $600-$700. University Pres- ident Harlan Hatcher promptly attacked the Senate plan as "im- practical and unrealistic." As June became July, the House delayed action on the amended fiscal package, and University Ad- ministrators extended the current budget for an interim week. Fin- ally, the University's appropria- tion from the Legislature was set at $59.1 million, the lowest per- centage of increase over last year given to any school on the higher education budget. The necessity for a fall tuition hike - long expected - was confirmed, and the Regents began confering to decide on he, exact amount. Meanwhile, University Towers, under new management, made the news with a revolutionary (for Ann Arbor) eight-month lease. Under the new plan, the apart- ment management will take over the responsibility of sub-letting apartments in the summer, and students intending to stay only for the fall and winter terms will not need to pay ten-months rent for the opportunity of leaving after eight months. Rioting broke out in Detroit, after two weeks of intermittent disturbances in other major cities, and concerned students mobilized to organize blood drives and, after the city had calmed, work crews to go in and try to clean up the blocks of debris and help re-locate displaced familes. Baby President Hatcher announced dorm fee hikes to be effective in the fall, from $25 for triples to $70 for singles, and all the stu- dents sat back and waited for the Regents to tell them just how much more tuition they would have to pay. Finally, early in August, the 1o n g - awaited announcement came. Out-of-state tuition for both graduates and undergradu- ates was rised $300, in-state un- dergraduate tuition $72, and in- state graduate tuition was raised $80. Now the party - or the grind - is nearly over. Next week, the thousands of summer students will leave Ann Arbor and return to their own home towns for a brief taste of non-academic life before the Great Influx of students into The City begins again. EFFECTIVE NOW: Selective Service Details Deferment Requirements GA Asks Probe Of 'U' Rent Policy Goes to Legislature After Meeting With Feldkamp Brings No Accord LANSING JW)-The State Selec- tive Service System yesterday an- nouced detailed instructions for new college deferment require- ments, as sent to local draft boards. Col. Arthur Holmes, state Di- rector of Civil Service, said the changes carry out provisions of the Military Selective Service Act which became ,effective in July. Holmes said although require- ments for undergraduate student deferments have been liberalized, those requesting such deferments no longer will be eligible for defer- ment as fathers.I Local boards have been instruct- ed to defer undergraduate stu- dents as long as they are satisfac- torily pursuing a full-time college program and 'are making propor- tionate progress toward their de- gee each academic year.I They may be deferred until they receive their bachelor's degree, cease to perform satisfactorily or f NEWS WIRE THE NATIONAL STUDENT ASSOCrATION will be able to keep its building in Washington which was supplied by the Cen- tral Intelligence Agency, but JNSA must pay the remainder of the mortgage. The' building was expected to be a major issue at NSA's Na- tional Student Congress, which convenes tomorrow at the Uni- versity of Maryland. Several radical and liberal speakers which L NSA has invited have refused to speak because they said NSA should give up all benefits it received from its association with the CIA. Speakers who have refused include Arthur Waskow of the Institute for Policy Studies, Andrew Kopkind of the New Republic, Sol Stern of Ramparts magazine, and Mike Wood who revealed the NSA-CIA link in Ramparts. * * * * ANN ARBOR'S NEWEST one-way street pattern will go into effect at 9 a.m. Sunday. Strategically located policemen will as- sist motorists through a "breaking in" period. Major changes involve switching Division Street from a two- way to a one-way street northbound between Hill and Beakes, changing Fifth Ave. from a one-way street northbound to a one way street southbound between Beakes and Madison, and making Fourth Ave. a two-way street from its present one-way south- on bound status. attain the age of 24, whichever is earliest. The undergraduate must re- quest a deferment in writing and arrange to have his college certify his student status at the start of each school year. Local boards will no longer use reports of class standing or college test scores as criteria for student deferment. New graduate requirement will be stiffer. After Oct. 1, of this year, only graduate students in the health sciences or other. critical fields designated by the Director of Selective Service may be de- ferred. Students entering graduate school for the first time by Octo- ber may be deferred for one year. Graduate students starting their second or later year of graduate study by October may be deferred for one more year to obtain their master's degree or not to exceed a total of five years, including all, previous years of graduate study, to earn their doctorate or profes- sional degree. Michigan local boards have been instructed to allow college students to request deferments up until October. At that time all stu- dent classifications will be recon- sidered. Registrants who do not request deferment in writfng and who do not obtain certification of their student status' by their colleges will be subject to reclassification into a class available for military7 service.

CAMPUS REACTION: I Schools Take Budget in Stride But Deans Cautious on Trend By MICHAEL IIEFFER Graduate Assembly is asking the state Legislature to inquire into the amount of rent paid for apartments owned' by the Univer- sity, GA President Roy Ashmall said yesterday. Ashmall said he wants the Leg- islature to find out why there is a difference between rents paid: for University apartments and rents paid for Eastern Michigan University apartments. "EMU rents appear to be 20-25 per cent lower for the same type of apartment," he said, while the closeness of the two institutions indicates costs should be about the same. Ashmall said his other reason for contacting the--legislature-is that "John Feldkamp, director of University housing, has refused to negotiate any further" in a dis- pute over the lack of notice given of a recent raise in rents for married student apartments. On Monday GA began circulat- ing a petition threatening the Uni- versity with a rent strike unless this raise is delayed, at least until Jan. 1. Feldkamp has suggested that the raise might be put off until Oct. 1. Ashmall doubts the resi- dents will accept this. Signers of the petition, Which sets Sept. 1 as the start of the strike, will meet this weekend to reach a final decision on their ac- tion. Ashmall said he is hopeful that at least 250 of the 925 famil- ies affected by the raise will with- hold the increase in 'rents from the University. So far, about 280 families have signed. Ashmall, while anticipat- ing that some of these might change their minds and not join the rent strike, said there were a number of residents, now away for the summer, who might join when they return. Feldkamp has said that if the rent strike is long and costly, he might withhold credit from those failing to pay their rent, or as a last resort, evict them. Ashmall said the assembly has already contacted several legisla- tors, but noted it might be some time before the Legislature, which is not now in session, could take up GA's request. In 1965, a subcommittee of the state House of Representatives held hearings on campus on the University's use of income from tuition and residence hall fees. AA.TA Tlk ith Board Rescheduled By ANN MUNSTER Contract negotiations between the Board of Education and the Ann Arbor Teachers Association (AATA) have been tentatively scheduled to reopen next Wednes- day, School Board President Haz- en Schumacher announced yester- day. He also said that it would be' very difficult to open school as scheduled September 7. "It is ob- vious that it is the position of the teachers that school can open on time if the board just gives in to their demands,".he continued. "It is possible that we might have to seek help from the state mediation and - fact - finding" Schumacher added. At Thursday night's meeting of the AATA, David Stipe a key ne- gotiator for the teachers, said, "we continue to recommend a favorable ratification of the agree- ment, but we urge those of you who have not voted . . . not to vote until further notice." The recommendation is appar- ently designed to forestall the rat- ification process until the AATA has had some chance to try to regain some of the economic con- cessions made during the negotia- tions which followed the second defeat of a 512 mill tax increase. - No formal action was taken on Stipe's proposal since the number of teachers present was less than the 385 required for a quorum. But Stipe felt those present supported the plan. I I By DAVID KNOKE Daily News Analysit The University's academic com- munity appears to be taking the inevitable austeri'try of the Univer- sity's tuition hikes and budget slashes calmly, but with a wary eye for the future. The admissions and financial aids offices report that students also appear to be taking the news in stride. "The tuition hike hasn't even become a topic of conversa- tion around the office yet," said one counsellor. CALLS FOR CONSTRUCTIVE ACTION: Hart Says Senate Hearings Musi Into Underlying Causes of Urba By STEPHEN FIRSHEIN Special To The Daily WASHINGTON - "Rap Brown could talk in Bloomfield Hills un- til he was white in the face and nothing would happen. But if he went into downtown Detroit with- out opening his mouth he might be able to start a riot," Sen. Philip Hart (D-Mich.) said yesterday in an interview with The Daily. He emphasized that it is not only important that law-break- ing be examined in the upcoming senate hearings on riots, but also the underlying causes. The Senate has been engaged in debate on a proposal to authorize Sen. John McClelland's (D-Afk.) permanent investigating subcommittee to look into the disorders which struck over 70 American cities this summer. "This investigation must not concern itself solely with better The Senate Judiciary Commit- tee, chaired by ' James O. East- land (D-Miss.), this week heard testimony from a long list of po- lice chiefs on alledged subversive influence during the riots. But Hart believes this approach super- ficial saying, "we have to know what it's like to live in the slums." He said he asked a Cleveland po- liceman what it's like to live in the Hough area, and the officer said he had "no idea." As an aftermath to the rioting the Senator predicted an exten- sive investigation into current federal projects.'"We need a crit- ical analysis of the effectiveness of existing programs - the war on poverty and federal aid to health and education. We then have to decide what programs are bad and what can be done to im- prove them. This requires not only a public effort but the involve- But there isn't this concern about pumping resources into the cities," he noted. Hart believes the public and its elected respresentitives will eventually come around to ac- cepting a wider responsibility for eradicating inferor living condit- ions. "We were always labeled big spenders," he quipped, "but now I hope people will say it might have been better bookkepping if we had put funds to constructive use instead of spending them to offset $500 million worth of dam- ages in Detroit." He credits the Johnson admin- istration with a key role in rec- ognizing and attempting to deal with these problems. "When it wasn't popular, this administra- tion was espousing the Teacher Corps and Head Start programs- things which have proved suc- cessful today. We are also grad- Check! In Riots the war expenditures have given+ a very convenient excuse to those waging war on the poverty pro- gram itself." At the same time, Hart has deep misgivings about the U.S. committment in Asia. Having re- turned from a June fact-finding tour of the Far East, including Vietnam, he voiced disagreement with House minority leader Gerald Ford (R-Grand Rapids), who this week called for expansion of the bombing. "I don't think we're out{ to destroy the North, but I am unhappy with as limited a war as we have now," Hart said. "In fact, I would hope that somehow we could persuade the United Nations to move in and attempt a resolu- tion. It is apparent that a military victory is not the answer; we have to solve it politically."t His trip left him with two dis- tinct impressions. The first was "The out-of-state fees do not put our tuition out of line with the private school group to whom we compare," said Dean William N. Hubbard of the Medical School. "Our policy for the last eight years has been that non-resident, tuition should approximate that of medical schools of the Harvard- Columbia-Yale-Chicago caliber," he explained. Feesfor non-res. ident medical, dental and pharm- acy students are the highest in the University at $1,900. Assistant Dean Roy Proffitt of the Law School concurs with this assessment of the tuition boost that places law tuition at $1,500. "It's too early to determine how much other private law school fees wil rise, but among the finest law schools," he said, "we're still the bargain." The Legislature increased the University allocation by only $1.2 million this year, in spite of a re- quest for a $16 million increase. Academic officials appeared con- cerned that this negative attitude on the part of state support would continue in the future. "Being a clinician, I liken the effects to a case of malnutrition," explained Hubbard, "There is an insidious, rather than dramatic, effect. We're certainly not being starved, but like malnutrition af- fects the child more tnan the adult, major damage is being done to new programs. "How much longer this can go on without permanent damage is anybody's guess," he continued. Harold H. Harger, assistant to the Dean of the Engineering Col- lege, admitted the tight budget presented "grave uncertainties for the future." "One can tolerate a rigorous situation for a period of time," said Harger. "But it is inevitable in day-to-day situations that the austerity will affect the quality as the Office of Research Admin- istration is contacting various na- tional agencies in efforts to ex- tend students' training and re- search grants to cover the amount of tuition increases. Under the University's block-' grant program, in which indivi- dual departments are given liberty to dispense funds to its students as it sees fit, the University will provide additional allocations to complement current tutition sti- pends. Most departments had been forewarned by their respective deans that the University would be left with a deficit in their bud- get requests. Thus fiscal programs had been prepared in advance to meet the strictures required by the austerity budget. Nevertheless dif- ficultie s are expected in several areas. Thant, Romney Talks Highlight Orientalist Congress Next Week By JENNY STILLER An address by UN Secretary- General U Thant will highlight the 27th session of the International Congress of Orientalists here next week. An estimated 2000 scholars from more than 50 countries will at- tend the congress, making it the largest international conference ever held in Ann Arbor.
