LXXVI, No. 4 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1965 SEVEN CENTS Increased Draft Threatens Part-Time Student Defe SIX PAGES rments By CLIFFORD OLSON President Johnson's July 28th decision to double the draft call has begun to affect the nation's colleges and universities. Under many draft boards the pool of I-A classifications is running low and student deferments are being re- examined. Accorcing to Colonel Arthur A. Holmes, State Selective Service director, student deferments will be harder to get. "In the past," Holmes said, "deferments have been given on an individual case basis, and generally we have been lenient with the boys, particularly with those going to school on part-time credits." The local draft boards, though, are becoming more strict as in- creased quotas continue to drain the supply of non-students. The State Selective Service headquar- ters now expects students to com- plete their programs in "the nor- mally allotted time." Although this ,would imply the necessity of undergraduates car- rying 15 credits per term, the Uni- versity recognizes that carrying a flexible number of credits is often an advantage. Because of this, the University considers 12 credit hours to be the minimum for full- time undergraduate students, and 10 credit hours the minimum for full-time graduate students. Doc- toral candidates working on dis- sertations may receive special cer- tification from the graduate school but are expected to progress at a normal rate in order to receive their degree within three years. A full-time student classifica- tion is necessary. in order to re- ceive the presently draft-free stat- us as II-S, or student deferment. Present System Under the present system, draft- able male students fill out selec- tive service cards at the selective service tables during registration at Waterman Gymnasium each fall. Freshman and others turn- ing 18 and registering for the draft during the school year are sent to the selective services of- fices in the Administration Build- ing to fill out their forms. Under- graduate students fill out form SSS 109, and graduate and grad- uate-professional students fill out form SSS 103. These cards are then processed and then sent to the local draft boards within 30 days. The local boards process them and take ac- tion beginning October 1. The local draft board also has the legal right to obtain from the University a student's transcript in order to decide whether he is performing satisfactorily. Accord- ing to Thomas Clark of the Reg- istrar's Office, "such action is not expected this semester." Deferments The student deferment classi- fication is valid for one year, from 'the beginning of one school year until the beginning of the next. If the student leaves school the University is required by law to notify the local board within 10 days. Undergraduates and graduate students who did not complete these forms should contact the Registrar's Office. Students in the profess onal fields should request certification from their respective deans' offices. It is the student's responsibility to keep his local board fully in- formed concerning his status. What's New At 764-1817 4 Hotline The International Student Association ceased to function over the summer months. Discussions have been underway for a number of weeks with leaders of the various nationality clubs, concerned foreign students and leaders of American international student groups. These groups hope to develop a new program structure to fill the gap left by the ISA. * * * * The new dean of the Law School probably will not be named until late fall or earlyt winter according to incoming vice president for academic affairs Allan Smith. Smith, whose appointment as the successor to outgoing vice president for academic affairs Roger W. Heyns left the law school deanship open, reported that the school's faculty members are currently in the process of compiling a selected list of law teachers from which University President Harlan Hatcher will name a selections committee for the deanship. *** * Advanced ticket sales for University cultural activities are reaching all time highs. The University Musical Society's sales for various concert series is now increased 14. per cent over a year ago. Robert C. Schnitzer, executive director of the Profes- sional Theatre Program, announced that Fall Festival subscrip- tions are expected to top 7,000, of which nearly 60 per cent are University students. * * *' *M About one-third of the freshman class have bought at least some of their books at the Student Book Service, according to its director Prof. Fred Shure of the nuclear engineering depart- ment. He added that while the store now carries books primarily for freshman courses, in the future it will handle some books for upper-level courses. Shure further stated that though there have been some problems with publishers, including delayed and completely lost shipments of some orders, student reaction to the Service has been quite favorable. Charter Realty and Patrick Pulte, Inc., admitted yesterday that 75 students who have signed apartment leases with them are in temporary housing because their apartments were not completed on time. The students are now living rent-free in private houses, rooming houses or other apartments until they are able to move into their regular quarters. Both companies maintained that all the students would most likely be in their own apartments by the end of September at the latest. The Chairman of the Young Republican Club, Lyle Stewart, grad, announced his resignation as chairman yesterday so that he and his wife can become Peace Corps members in India. Miss Betty Jo Smith, grad, succeeded Stewart as chairman. The executive board selected Carl Ingevalson, law, and Dick Branch, grad, to fill the posts of vice chairman and member at large respectively. *.* * * "The Office of Student Affairs has received several com- plaints arising from non-discriminatory room assignments, but no request for room change because of race or religion will be honored," Director of Residence Halls Eugene Haun said last night. "This is not a new phenomenon," he said of the com- plaints. Haun pointed out that every student entering the resi- dence halls is sent with his housing application the pamphlet "Student Housing at Michigan," which notes that University- owned residence halls operate under Regents' Bylaw 2.14: "The University shall not discriminate against any person because of race, religion, creed or color." Haun said, "I have kept policy consistent with this statement." He explained his department re- ceived "no information from Admissions" about the race, color, religion or creed of students before placing them in the residence halls. Wiretap Officials in the Off-Campus Housing Bureau are predicting nine-month apartment leases by next year, it was learned yes- terday. They have been advising the realtors on giving students the shorter leases now that the trimester system is fully establish- ed. Charter Realty had no comment to make on the report. The Interfraternity Council President Richard Hoppe, '66 announced last night that IFC's membership committee is cur- rently compiling a summary of all facts connected with alleged discriminatory membership policies within the Sigma Chi na- tional. If these practices are deemed inconsistent with IFC by- laws, the committee will work with the local chapter in their elimination. President Hoppe further added that should such elimination be impossible, proceedings similar to those recently held against Trigon will be instituted. i SGC Store Won't Open This Session Lack of Coordination, Cash, Able Manager Delays Bookstore By J. RUSSELL GAINES The Student Government Coun- cil bookstore, scheduled to be ready for use in August, has failed to materialize. This failure stems from a lack of coordination within the Council as well as within the executive board in charge of the proposed SBX, reliable sources in- dicated yesterday. The original plan was to acquire books directly from the student, take his name and address, and, finally, notify him of the sale of his books and of the money owed him by the bookstore. However, sometime in mid-July, the tem- porary treasurer Michael Dean, '67, and temporary chairman Jen- nifer Jackson, '67, decided that the venture would be more suc- cessful on a cash-in-hand basis. Dean said that the change in procedure would provide a greater savings on the part of the student. According to Cunningham, stu- dents will receive 40-50 per cent of the original price on the books. The initial allotment to the bookstore, some $2100, had been left in the account of a previously unsuccessful SBX. The new plan required more capital, however, Gary Cunningham, '66, president of the SGC, saidyesterday. The result he said was an inevitable delay until fall - the first time Council could meet to allot addi- tional funds. Stumbling Block Another major stumbling block in the way of the bookstore's open- ing on time, Cunningham com- mented, was the lack of an able manager, i.e., one who could assess the value of books, and the "work- ability" of the given situation. SGC still has no one qualified to fill this position, he added. A fall opening proved "imprac- tical" because of a lack of current booklists for fal courses, Cun- ningham said. A further difficulty in acquiring books was the sparcity of students on campus this sum- mer to provide a satisfactory source of used books, he remark- ed. The new plan calls for a "book drive" toward the end of this fall term according to. Cun- ningham. Cunningham also voiced the committee's hopes to acquire a permanent home for the SBX in the winter. The choice location for the bookstore would be, in his opinion, the Union. Cunningham's reason for the choice of the Union is that it is easily accessible to the students and is impervious to the weather. The scheme for fall opening in- cluded a tent on the diag to house the bookstore. Such an idea would prove impractical for a winter opening, he said. Members The three members of the com- mittee in charge of the bookstore were Jennifer Jackson, '67, Mich- ael Dean, '67, and Sarah Mahler, '67. All three had taken summer jobs outside of the city. Thus, when the time came for the final planning and work on the new student service was to be done, none of the authorities were present. According to reliable sources, the result was apathy on the part of those who could have helped. The SGC members on campus at the crucial time failed to report to the Council office to offer their assistance, observers said. The ex- ecutives attempted to coordinate the program by post card and telephone, but then neglected to rectify the lack of effectiveness nf ths nroAramna sthev failed tn IFC EX( Accepts Trigon s ecutive Ommittee Changes Once more beset by University bureaucracy, long lines of students filled the first floor of the Administration Building yesterday waiting for a chance at Window A. 00 Registration 's Chaos. Con tin ues AsStudents ConfrotCounselorS >Allo Iouse TowMaintain Membership Alter Pledge Vows, Constitution, Ritual To Meet Bias Rule By LAURENCE MEDOW After Trigon announced changes made in their constitution and rit- ual, the Ihterfraternity Council executive committee voted unani- mously last night to allow Trigon to retain full membership in the fraternity system. Lat January 12, the IFC Exec- utive Committee, consisting of the five senior officers of IFC and representatives from each of five fraternity districts, had discover- ed religious discrimination in Tri- gon's rituals, which is .a violation of IFC Bylaw Article X, Section I. Trigon was directed to make the necessary changes for com- pliance with, the bylaw by Sept. 1, 1965, or face possible explusion from IFC. Such a move would deny Trigon participation in IFO-or- ganized rush and fraternity intra- mural athletics. Decision Upheld The IFC Executive Committee decision was later upheld by the Fraternity Presidents Assembly, the legislative arm of IFC and the appeal body in judicial cases. Trigon 'President Robert Ples- nick, '66, said yesterday, "In a decisive vote cast last Sunday, the r Grand Council of Trigon approved changes in the Trigon constitu- tion and initiation ritual. The pur- pose of the changes was to bring the Trigon documents in line with the IFC bylaw which prohibits consideration of religion in mem- bership selection." Practices "Believing itself to be non-dis- criminatory in practice, Trigon found difficult to abandon the traditional wording of its official papers. Nevertheless, it was felt that Trigon could best display its true ideals not by resisting change, but by reflecting the prin- ciples of Trigon in documents which clearly disassociate the'fra- ternity from religious discrimina- tion," Plesnick remarked. "Significantly, the changes made by Trigon follow this policy as they are not merely revisions calculated to meet the demands of IFC. Being on a much greater scale than those suggested-by IFC, they include deletions and addi- tions in the Trigon constitution,. initiation ritual and pledge vow. It is the opinion of Trigon that our actions should prove to the campus community what we have known all along: that the essen- tial purpose of Trigon's ritual is not the exclusion of any reli- gious or ethnic group but tl~e in- clusion of the ideals upon which Trigan was foundei." Plesnick added. Rea Comments IFC Executive Vice-President Kelly Rea, '66, pointed out that the action against Trigon was not an attempt to make all fraterni- ties thesae.u By PETER SARASOHN The registration battlefield has moved with the aid of the com- puter from Waterman Gymnasium to the counselling and depart- mental office. Crowds of unfortunates hoping to change sections, drop or add courses have now moved with their atmosphere of confusion to Angell and Haven Halls. In the English department, much of the havoc that accom- panies registration time has been quelled-at least for the professors if not for the students-by creat- ing the position of office man- ager. Robert D. Marble, appointed to this position, runs interference between students and professors, signing drop-add slips, telling stu- dents that a course is closed and accepting or rejecting reasons for time changes. In the past many students went directly to their professors fortpermission to drop and add. Excuse Under the new system students find it extremely difficult to beat the system of 8 and 4 o'clocks with excuses that have worked in the past. Marble, a retired United States Army major, was said to be "very tough" by many of the students waiting outside the Eng- lish department office. One student said he won't ac- cept "any sob stories." He just "will not listen," he added. An- other said "he wouldn't even take good excuses." Thee trneral repnonse from Eng- office, this is certainly true as there was a steady stream of stu- dents in and out of his office for two days. However, students replied gen- erally that he was "like a com- puter." He seems only to respond "in a very limited way to a few' questions" one girl said. 'Necessary' Prof. Morris Greenhut of the English department commented that the position of office man- ager is "necessary" due to the growth of the department and the University in the last ten years." The size of the English depart- ment has doubled in this time. He added that "we are paying the penalty of size-and at times the individual gets lost." In the philosophy department, extra confusion was caused as some advanced courses were listed as being closed when actually they were still open. This was due to the fact that advance enrollment figures submitted by professors last spring as indicators for the purpose of reserving a classroom were mistaken as proposed limita- tions to the class size. More Confusion Also adding to the confusion was the dropping of entire courses for which students had pre-regis- tered, due to the changing of the time schedule. "Stating plans for a semester so early the previous year upsets much of what pre- registration tries to accomplish," Prof. Carl A. Ginet of the phi- losophy department said. Assistant Dean George R. An- derson of the literary college said that registration is "better this year" because there are more freshmen going through summer orientation, and this fall 92 per cent of the freshmen are pre- classified. He remembered 1%/ years ago when they needed a policeman to control the Angell Hall crowds in which a coed was almost crushed to death. "On bal- ance," he added, "registration is smoother now." I 26 STORIES HIGH: Council Approves High-Rise By NEAL BRUSS Council over-ruled its own 18- story height limitation Monday night when it gave permission for a 26-story building to be erected at Maynard and William. At its regular session, Council ordered the Department of Build- ings and Safety Engineering to issue a building permit to Flint developer Peter Kleinpell of the William Street Co. Kleinpell had requested relief from the height limitation two weeks ago, telling Council his project would "suffer Seaver hardshin" if he were forced was unsure of its legal position. It feared that, in court, the 18- story ordinance, passed at first reading only, would be considered insufficient basis for denial. of Kleinpell's request. It also felt that a zoning compliance permit might provide enough equity to force issuance of a building per- mit. Second Ward Councilman O. William Habel said Fahrner had "placed a question mark" at the end of his opinion regarding' 'the proposed building. "I'm much con- cerned about our legal position, I would hate to see the city be house students. Prof. Robert Weeks of the nuclear engineering department, a City Council mem- ber, doubted the likelihood of a structure one block from campus excluding students, and also voted against issuance of the permit "for aesthetic reasons." The building pledged to provide 75 spaces in off-street parking for' residents of the high-rise, and Council demanded a $150,000 bond to be posted when the permit is granted to insure the construction of those facilities. The ' council stipulated that an occupancy permit fdr the building i i i
