ACADEMIC FREEDOM AND THE KA'TZ CASE See Editorial Page Yl r e £I4!a 47IAit PARTLY CLOUDY High-54 Low--35 Sunny and Seventy-Five Years of Editorial Freedom VOL. LXXVI, No. 38 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1965 SEVEN CENTS SIX PAGES i ..,-... What's New Hotline City Council last night banned a demonstration, two marches to and from the Homecoming football game and the use of a loudspeaker on University property for a memorial service for the dead in Viet Nam. Council approved two marches and the use of a stationary loudspeaker for a demonstration on Friday. The requests were brought before council by the Ann Arbor Viet Nam Day Committee which is planning local action in connection with the International Days of Protest October 15-16. Voting on the Saturday activity ban went according to party lines with the six Republicans for the ban and the five Democrats against it. Also, at a meeting last night, people interested in committing civil disobedience this Friday in opposition to United States involvement in the Vietnamese war tentatively decided to make the Selective Service center in Ann Arbor the object of their protest. * *~ * * Gov. George Romney yesterday jumped into the melee surrounding Attorney General Frank Kelley's ruling on the proper relationship between the State Board of Education and. the Legislature. Romney lined up with state board members and Sens. Edward Robinson (D-Dearborn) and Roger Craig (D- Dearborn) to back the attorney general's statement that the Legislature cannot establish a new college without a prior recom- mendation from the board. Kelley issued his ruling, an informal opinion without force of law, last Wednesday in connection with a bill to establish an osteopathic college authority. The, state Senate angrily reacted by immediately passing the bill without consulting the board. The Jobs and Equality Committee of the Young Democrats met with officials of union local 1583 of the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employes. The committee re- solved to work for University recognition of local 1583 as sole bargaining agent for permanent University employes. "We have to document cases in which the University has been grossly negligent or unfair in its treatment of employes, and present them to the public to arouse support for the union," Mark Killingsworth, committee head, said. He noted this was an opportunity for students to work on a problem not as remote as Alabama, but here in Ann Arbor where they can stay long enough to be effective. * * * Landlords will have three days to amend building code vio- lations after being notified 04 4hem, it was reported at a meeting of the Joint Commission of Low-Cost Housing last night. During the coming week, commission members will check five buildings cited in tenant grievance forms as being substandard. The com- mission's complaints will be given priority by Roy Lloyd, city building codes inspector, Commission Chairman Stu Gordon said. * * * * Assembly House Council President Georgia Berland, '67, an- nounced yesterday a change in the voting date of the Stockwell controversy. A petition eliminating all Sunday dinners was signed by Stockwell residents claiming the dinners are too time consum- ing and make students feel like fourth-graders-unable to help themselves in the' cafeteria line. A second issue was the amount of kitchen help needed to serve them at these dinners. The residents, unaware the petition concerned only themselves and not the labor problem, will receive circulars this week explaining the two issues. The vote will not take place Oct. 18. The American Civil Liberties Union will delay bringing the University of California at Berkeley to court for failing to renew Eli Katz' teaching contract. Although Berkeley administrators deny it, the ACLU says it has been informed that Katz, who was previously, a temporary assistant professor of German will be re- hired. The ACLU will postpone further action until it is notified as to what new position Katz will 'be given. Katz was dropped from the faculty in 1963, when he refused to comply with the administration by answering questions about his political activities. The residential college curriculum will include a one-year required science 'course with one semester of laboratory work during the freshman or sophomore year, if the recom'mendation passed yesterday by the student advisory committee to the residential college is accepted by its counterpart, the faculty committee. The committee discussed whether the proposed course should be a traditional-style laboratory course, a series of demonstration sessions or an unstructured laboratory course in which the student would experiment individually on scientific problems which interest him. * ~* * Dr. Harold F. Allen, research engineer at the University's High Altitude Laboratory, will coordinate this week a series of 12 rocket experiments to be fired from three continental sites. The purpose is to learn more about seasonal atmospheric con- ditions. To accomplish this rockets will carry aloft an inflatable sphere to measure air density and ejectable grenades for air temperature measurements. City By BOB CARNEY When the Ann Arbor voters decide on Oct. 19, whether or not to approve City Council's decision of three weeks ago establishing such a housing commission they will be casting votes on a number of individual questions, and they will be responding to the efforts of over 25 of the city's organiza- tions. The most fundamental of these questions is simply whether Ann Arbor needs such a commission. The leader of the groups opposed to an affirmative vote on Oct. 19, George Lemble of .the Citizens' Committee for Housing, contends that at no time in the delibera- tions of the council's housing committee or at any time since then has the need for the com- mission been established. First, Lemble points to the fact that no specific formula for de- termining need of a family has been stated, income, property, etc. Indications of need have been iousing revealed on an individual case basis, Lemble maintains, but the extent of this need, and whether or not such need hierits the es- tablishment of such a body as the housing commission, are still open questions. No action to eliminate need in the low-cost housing area should be taken, according to Lemble until an extensive survey has been done to determine the extent of the need. The Federation for the Ann Ar- bor Housing Commission, a group made up of 19 organizations, in- cluding the city's two political parties,ttakes a considerably dif- ferent stand. Supporting completely the rec- ommendation of the council's committee for a housing commis- sion, this group contends that the need for low-income housing was made clear in discussions with members of charitable and welfare agencies and "experts in public housing and federal housing." While the group has not sup- Vote Poses Complex Issues ported any specific definition of need, such as income alone, it has implied agreement with the fed- eral government's recommenda- tion that a citizen "should not have to pay more than 20 per cent" of his income for housing. In regard to the extent of the housing need in Ann Arbor, they cite the 1960 census and the Robin Barlow report of 1964, which is hn estimate of the number of poor families in Ann Arbor based on the census. The census, according to Coun-! cilman Robert Weeks of the fed- eration, states that of 47,000 dwelling units in Ann Arbor, 2000 are substandard, including 1000 deteriorating and 200 dilapidated dwellings. The Barlow report concludes that based on the 1960 census, 35 per cent of the nonwhite families' in the city at the time of the' census have incomes below basic need expenditures. Thebfederation, while conceding that the report is not a perfect determination of need, endorses it as a reliable es- timate and believes that it, along with the reports given the council housing committee, is a reasonable basis for action. A valid door to door survey is required of the commission by state law before any projects are undertaken, the Federation adds, and at that time the cost of the survey will be paid for with fed- eral funds. Lemble disregards the Barlow report as at best unreliable, and says that it is out of date, based on arbitrary costs of living fig- ures, and questionable definition of poverty ($4000). In the event a sizable need is determined, the private enterprise function could take care of the need, if given the proper time, according to Lemble. In the pres- ent situation, the charitable and welfare organizations of the city are doing an adequate job. The federation points to the fact that: 1) The commission will serve as a clearing house and motiva- tor for private action and 2) That the charitable and wel- fare organizations themselves are supporting the establishment of the the commission. The second area of controversy centers around the control of the commission by the council. Lem- ble and the citizens' committee for housing contend that because of the broad language of the ordi- nance and the powers allotted it by the state law, it is a commis- sion that could well operate above and beyond the approval and will of council. The Federation points to the language of the state law and the testimony of city officials in this regard. The law states that Coun- cil has the obligation of approving or rejecting all appointments to the commission, and that all deeds, contracts, leases and pur- chases of the commission must also be approved* by the council with bond issues to be authorized by a city ordinance. Guy Larcom, city administrator, and the city attorney have said the control of the council over the commission is adequate and con- siderable. The last major area of contro- versy is the question of whether the establishment of the commis- sion would result in an increase in taxes. The federation argues that there will be no notable increase. Lemble argues that because of administrative costs and because houses bought by the commission will be removed from the tax roll, the cost to the taxpayer will be considerable. The federation replies that in regard to the tax roll, the com- mission must make payment in lieu of taxes, and that these have in some cities brought greater income to the city than the taxes. The federation admits that there will be administrative costs, but contends that these will be minor, and cites the statement of the city administrator that the sav- ings to the city because of the re- duced welfare, health and con- demnation costs would actually pay for part of this.

May Hinder Relations Between 'U' Students By HARitIET DEUTCH Student Government Council has requested Vice-President for Stu- dent Affairs Richard L. Cutler to make a thorough examination of the relationship between the Uni- versity and foreign students. The request grew out of a pro- posal passed by SGC at last Wednesday's meeting. The exam- ination, 'proposed by SGC Vice- President Charles Cooper, '66, and constitutents James Wall and Larry Grate, both '69, will include a review and critique of the as- sumptions involved in construct- ing a new International Center in- dependent of the Student Activi- ties Bldg. In addition, SGC requests in- ternational coordinators to work with other student organizations to sponsor hearings where stu- dents, faculty and administrators can voice opinions on the effec- tiveness of current foreign student programming and the University philosophy of the role of the for- eign student. Policy The proposal was primarily in- itiated to reinstate SGC's interna- tional affairs policy. According to Cooper, many American students h a v e expressed disappointment lately because only a fraction of the foreign student population is housed in dormitories. Also, many foreign students and American students have criticized International Center, claiming that "it promotes no motivation to participate" in University ac- tivities. They feel, he said, the foreign student is restricted in his free- dom to take part in political acti- vities by visa regulations. Cooper stated the foreign stu- dent resents "coming in contact with a 'quaint' International Cen- ter after living in cosmpolitan cities." SC believes "it is a prime re- sponsibility of the University to develop the opportunity for mu- tual understanding of cultures, societies and traditions" of for- eign countries. The Council views the proposal for the establishment of a new International Center as a key factor which would "destroy many opportunities for informal American-foreign relationships." ..Regents Ref use Comment On Bookstore Possibilities Police -Catch Scalpers of Game 'Tickets Hearing for Twenty, Mostly Students, To Be Held This Week . By LAURENCE COVEN Ann Arbor police yesterday officially booked five University students for scalping tickets prior to the Michigan State-University football game. About 20 people, mostly stu- dents, were apprehended at the Michigan Union. Allegedly, they were trying to sell the tickets for as much as $12.50 each. None were taken into custody at that time by the police but were told to report this week. Their cases will be heard in Muni- cipal Court. Should they plead guilty the judge could impose either a fine or a jail sentence. If any should choose to contest, the judge would then set bond.# Scalping Joel M. Bernstein, chairman, and Barbara Stapp, vice-chair- man of the Joint Judiciary Coun- cil stated "scalping tickets is a civil and University offense. You may not sell or give your student football ticket packet to anyone."~ Student tickets are simply not+ transferrable. "You may sell the general ad- mission tickets if you have them,, but for no more than $5, the price that they sell for," they said. Registration All University students duringl registration are allowed to pur- chase a football ticket coupon for $12. This can then be traded in atI the Intramural Bldg. during the first week of classes for a book of six homegame football tickets. In the past there has been much1 selling of tickets among students with prices a little higher than the cost of the ticket per student.I -Daily-Thomas R.

TORONTO TEACH-IN: One Million Hear Debateon Viet Nam and Latin America By DOUGLASS CHAPMAN Over one million people from the United States and Canaday attended the Toronto teach-in; last weekend. The teach-in, call- ed "the largest to date" by the Toronto Star, concentrated on . Cold War conflict in Latin America; and Southeast Asia. The first session, titled "Revol- lution and Ideological Conflict," included a debate between V. Ne- krasov, chief foreign editor of Pravda, and Z. K. Brzezinski, di- rector of Columbia University's j Communist Affairs Research In- stitute. Nekrasov termed American1 foreign policy "a program of mis- conceptions directed toward na- tional interest and profiteering." Brzezinski claimed that the U.S. must insure that revolutions in underdeveloped countries are not taken over by "national libera- tion movements" like the Soviet] Union is pledged to*support ac- cording to Nekrasov. The crowd of 6,000 cheered Nekrasov's description of U.S. policy in Viet Nam as "armed in- tervention in the affairs of an- other nation" but hissed when he declined Brzezinski's challenge tot show he was free to criticize Soviet policy. Both speakers admitted their nations had made mistakes. Brze-1 zinski called U.S. policy in the Dominican Republic "ridiculous," I while Nekrasov called the 1965 Russian intervention in Hungary1 had been "a sad experience." l Roth sneakers were cheered andt "real rulers of America-the vast military and industrial complex." Berleiclaimed that in Latin America "the people should be allowed to develop through their existing political institutions," while Jagan demanded that U.S. refuse to support corrupt dictator- ships. The Saturday afternoon session on Viet Nam lacked official rep- resentatives from China, North Viet Nam, the National Liberation Front and the U.S. Hanoi was de- fended by William Worthy, an American journalist, who said that the NLF was ready to negotiate in 1964, but President Lyndon B. Johnson backed down for political reasons. Michael Myerson, a graduate student at the University of Cali- fornia, was also to speak unoffi- cially for Hanoi but was not al- lowed to take part because of ob- jections from the defender of present American foreign policy, Prof. Robert Scalapino of the po- litical science department of the University of California. Scala- pino got catcalls and cries of "We want Myerson" from the audience. Myerson did, however, speak Sun- day night at a meeting sponsored by student groups, including Stu- dents for a Democratic Society. Will Attempt, To Submit Joi1t1Oinin Feldkamp Outlines Controversial Issues In Interest Conflict By DICK WINGFIELD The Regents indicated last night that individual statements on the possibility of a University bookstore will be Withheld Pend- ing a final joint decision, probably in November. The decision may involve chang- ing the Regents' ruling of 1929, which in effect prohibits a Uni- versity bookstore. "There have been unfortunate results in the past on occasions when a Regent has spoken sepa- rately from the entire board," Regent Irene Murphy said last night. Separate Statements She indicated that this practice of separate statements - particu- larly regarding the University bookstore-is ended. 'I 'want to confer with other Regents, examining all issues be- fore I make any 'indication of my feelings toward the University bookstore," Regent Frederick C. Matthaei said. Regent Carl Brablec termed student reports on the proposed bookstore a "fairly impressive documentation," but insisted that he will remain "unprejudiced" un- til the idea of a University book- store is thoroughly considered. "I have heard the 'pros' from the students and now I want to also consider the 'cons'," Brablec added. Other Regents were unavailable for comment last night. Donald Resnick, '67, a member of the Student Government Coun- cil's Committee for the University Bookstore, said that a copy of-the SGC Bookstore Repprt was sent to each Regent with an invitation for conference on the proposal. None of the Regents expressed de- sire to discuss the matter sepa- rately, Resnick added. 'Much at Stake' "The University has much at stake with Ann Arbor merchants," John C. Feldkamp, assistant to the vice-president of student affairs, said. "But even if the bookstore will hurt the merchants some- what, there can be strong argu- ment for it, if it tends to follow our educational objectives and if there can be adequate need shown foi the store." Feldkamp noted that merchants pay taxes which in turn help sup- port the University. He said that this noint should not be neglected BOGGED IN 'RED TAPE': V=P Delays, Budget CONFERENCE CONVENES FOR DEBATE: U.S., Policy in Latin America Scrutinized By MERLE JACOB By ROBERT HIPPLER Associate Editorial Director Special To The Daily RACINE, Wis.-Latin American- United States policies yesterday came under intense, debate and scrutiny in the first day of a for- eign policy conference here.

But many saw great The University's operating budget scheduled to be sent to- Lansing by Sept. 20, has been caught in a swirl of red tape at both the state and local levels. On the state level, a last min- ute change in the budget forms by the budget office has caused the universities to take more time in computing their requests. Lo- cally, Vice-President for Academic Affairs Allan Smith has taken longer in completing the forms than is usually necessary as he of the state controller's office had made in the general funds forms are minor revisions of the general form used last year. The changes require universities to give more detailed information of costs, use of funds, and planning. However all the revisions are the result of an interchange between the budget division and Michigan's college presidents through their Coordi- nating Council of State College Presidents, Wileden said. The forms were sent to the uni- versities on Aug. 20 with an ap- proximate deadline of Sept. 20. I
