prices
By RICK PERLOFF
A resolution calling for an
investigation of used textbook
prices charged by campus
bookstores at the State-sup-
ported universities was intro-
duced yesterday in the Mich-
igan House of Representatives.
Under the resolution-sponsor-
ed by Rep. Charles Varnum R-
Manistique) - a special House
committee would be created to
determine whether both univer-
sity and private bookstores are
;buying backaused books from stu-
dents for a price lower than what
the stores resell them at later.
Varnum said committee mem-
bers would travel to the Univer-
sity, Michigan State and probably
Northern Michigan universities to
examine the stores' prices. ,He
added the committee may sub-
poena the stores' records or em-
ployes, but said he doubts that
will be necessary.
Varnum, a member of the
House committee on colleges and
universities, said he expects the
resolution to pass the House by
voice vote early next week.
Varnurn expressed concern over
alleged profiteering of state uni-
versity-operated bookstores which
purchase books from students at
one quarter or less.of their orig-
inal cost, and then resell them at
up to three quarters of the orig-
inal cost.
Although Varnum did not spe-
cify the universities, he may have
been alluding to the MSU admin-
istration-run bookstore which is
reported to be selling books at
higher prices than the East Lans-
ing private bookstores.
Varnum said he believed the
private stores in general are re-
selling used books at more equit-
able prices than the university'
stores. He indicated the committee
was primarily interested in the
resale policies of university oper-
ated stores, but would examine
private stores prices as well.
"If there is any inequity," he
cautioned, "the Legislature may
pass legislation to bring more
equitable selling prices the second
time around." Such unfair pric-
ing, he said, acts "to the deter-
rent of students saving money."
But Ned Shure, manager of the
Student Book Service (SBS),
countered that the prices at which
Ann Arbor private bookstores buy
used books from students are
among the highest in the country.
He doubted there was much prof-
iteering.
Fred Ulrich. manager of Ul-
rich's and Robert Graham, Fol-
lett's manager, were unavailable
for comment last night.
Shure said there are "solid rea-
sons" for private stores sometimes

tinued operation of segregated
schools under a standard of al-
lowing "all deliberate speed" for
desegregation is no longer consti-
tutionally permissible."
The decision immediately af-
fects schools in 30 Mississippi dis-
tricts that had been granted de-
lay in desegregating until Dec.
1.
Government attorneys had ar-
gued the Mississippi districts
needed time to overcome "logisti-
cal" problems that would be caus-
ed by switching to a fully de-
segregated system.
The ruling said the joint Jus-
tice Department - Mississippi
move for delay last summer in
the U.S. Circuit Court in New Or-
leans should have been rejected.
The appeals court wasdirected to
order immediately an at least
partial implementation of desegre-
gation plans for the districts that
the government had once pro-
posed and later withdrew.
The "all deliberate speed" doc-
trine was set down by the High
Court in 1955, the year after rac-
ially separate public schools were
ruled a violation of the 14th
Amendment to the U.S. Constitu-
tion:
The doctrine recognized t h a t
school officials would need s o m e
time to overcome administrative
difficulties in complying.
The new decision forecloses use
of the doctrine in the future as a
mechanism for delay.
The Justice Department had no
comment on yesterday's decision.
However, Asst. Atty. Gen. J e r r i s
Leonard, the department's civil
rights chief, declared in an inter-
view last Friday he was "pre-
pared to do whatever the justices
order" in the Mississippi case.
At that time, Leonard repud-
iated some earlier statements in
which he suggested the court
would have to enforce its own de-
cree if it ordered instant integra-
tion. He suggested the department
did not have enough lawyers to
carry out a sweeping opinion.
Q ueen
contest
abolished
By JUDY KAHN
After only three years, Univer-
sity Activities Center and t h e
Homecoming Central Committee
have decided to drop the home-
coming queen contest.
Jim Sandler, Homecoming chair-
man, said yesterday the decision
not to elect a queen was made
primarily because of a general
lack of interest in the contest,
"A Homecoming queen doesn't
have a place on this campus," said
UAC Executive Vice President
Richard Borenstein.
"The contest didn't really add -
it probably detracted from Home-
coming because of last year's
problems," he added.
Last year Kappa Alpha Psi,
a black fraternity, withdrew i t s
candidate.aJanice Parker, of
Delta Sigma Theta, because of
"overt discrimination in the judge
ing.
The withdrawal occurred after
Miss Parker said she "was being
judged as a black, and not as
Jan.
"They (the judges) kept say-
ing things like, 'As a member of
the minority, how do you feel
about the white sorority system?'
Miss Pa'ker said.
Sandler also cited difficulty
in determining criteria for select-
ing a queen as a reason for elim-
inating the contest. In the past,
the queen was elected for beauty,
talent or both.
"There are different criteria
of beauty for everybody, including
blacks and whites," said Sandler,
adding that there are no objective
criteria for judging talent.
UAC and Homecoming officials
consulted the Office of Student
Affairs, past Homecoming queens

WASHINGTON (Y) - The Supreme Court last night or-
dezed the immediate desegregation of Mississippi public
schools and declared that a segregated school system no long-

The unanimous decision, a stunning setback for the

doctrine dead forever and announced "the obligation of every
school district is to terminate dual school systems at once
and to operate now and hereafter only unitary schools."

Blastin the University admin-
istration for "starving" the Dear-
born and Flint campuses, State
Rep. George F. Montgomery (D-
Detroit) yesterday introduced two
bills which would make them in-
dependent by July 1970.
Contacted last night, however,
Montgomery said he does not ex-
pect the bills to pass during the
present session and added he is
actually "looking toward 1976" as
a reasonable date for making the
two campuses independent.
"This is just the declaration of
independence," he said. "It takes
eight or nine years to win the
war."
A third bill introduced by
Montgomery would separate the
Oakland campus from Michigan
State University. Montgomery said
Oakland is ready for independ-
ence and said he expected this
bill to pass quickly.
In criticizing development of
the Flint and Dearborn campuses
by the University, Montgomery
compared their status to that of
Oakland.
"What we have here are two
children of the University of
Michigan who are the same age
as Oakland," he said. "But the
mother in Ann Arbor has stran-
gled them with its apron strings."
Montgomery specifically blamed'
the University administration for
short-changing the two smaller
campuses when it was dividing
up the lump sum legislative ap-
propriation.
Montgomery specifically cited
Vice President and Chief Finan-
cial Officer Wilbur K. Pierpont
as being guilty of this practice.
Pierpont is the only top Univer-
sity official who was a vice presi-
dent here when the two campuss
were founded in the 1950's.
"M-. Pierpont and other people
there have been starving the two
campuses," Montgomery charged.
Responding to Montgomery's
charges, Vice President for State
Relations and Planning Arthui'
Ross revealed last night that the
Regents would be asked at their
meeting next month to approve a
number of proposals aimed at ex-
panding the two campuses and
making them more autonomous.
Ross said President Robben
Fleming will ask the Regents to
approve several steps recommend-
ed last spring by special commit-
tees which studied the future of
the two campuses. Fleming will
ask the Regents:
-To authorize the administra-
tion to seek legislative approval
for the initiation of freshman
and sophomore instruction at
Dearborn. Presently the campus
offers only junior and senior-level
instruction along with a limited
graduate program.
That thu titles of the heads
of the two campuses, be changed
from deans to chancellors when it
becomes clear that implementation
of plans for expansion of the two
campuses will be successful.
The chancellors would report to
the president and executive of-
ficers, while the deans now report
only to vice president for Aca-
demic Affairs Allan Smith.
--To authorize implementation
of plans for accelerated expansion
of the Flint campus.

AAEA postpones final action
