LXXVI, No. 39 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1965 SEVEN CENTS EIGHT PAGES OAA Streamlines Admissions Policies By JENNIFER RHEA Ernest R. Zimmerman, recent- ly appointed assistant to the vice- president for academic affairs, is working with other administrators in the OAA to eliminate ineffi- ciency by creating a centralized center of University information. They are also streamlining the policies which determine the num- ber of students who are admitted to the University each year. In order to aid the Office of Academic Affairs in formulating its admission policies, Zimmerman serves as a unifying agent for the Office of Registration and Records and the Office of Institutional Re- search. These offices collect information on fees, housing, and on-campus residents and publish it. This information, plus faculty and staff recommendations on ad- mission requirements, all help to decide how many students can be accommodated at the University. In addition, there are several types of duplicated effort which Are being eliminated by the crea- tion of a centralized information center. Before the creation of Zimmer- man's office late this summer, the organizational structure of the var- ious OAA departments lacked both representation of their specific needs to the vice-president for academic affairs and coordination of their diverse undertakings. Du- plication of effort was often the result. Moreover, because individual records were maintained by in- terrelated offices -such as regis- tration and records, student af- fairs, off-campus housing, and ad- missions, much confusion and costly delay frequently occurred when one office ndeded another's records. With this plan for centralized control of information, any time material is required by an aca- demic department, Zimmerman's office can readily supply it in the desired form. In an effort to stimulate the growth of this "bank of informa- tion," Zimmerman has become in- volved in a number of varied ac- tivities. Working in association with the data processing center, Zimmer- man discusses and analyzes stu- dents' pre-classification program requests. He, along with other ad- ministrators, then seeks to deter- mine specific needs of the Uni- versity's colleges and to coordi- nate their activity. All significant information con- cerning such faculty, student, and departmental needs will be in- creasingly processed and organized through the use of computers and similar statistical analyzing ma- chines, Zimmerman said. These data will be made available for potential users' needs, with the assurance that the material is uniform and unified in presenta- tion. Zimmerman sees this task of co- ordination and centralization as a "sizable portion of responsibility" in his administrative position. "We are going to go as far as we possibly can in this area of unification," he said. "Our goal is to make sure that all the infor- mation centers are ultimately co- ordinated and that the individual needs of the various departments are realized. We are going to take advantage of every potential cap- ability in an effort to eliminate wasteful duplication and as much routine work as possible." Considering the need for his po- sition, Zimmerman said that the "vice-presidency for academic af- fairs is such a monumental job that responsibility must be dele- gated. It is through this division of labor that the activities of the major interest groups in the aca- demic society of the University are pulled together. I feel that we are progressing rapidly in our unifi- cation tasks, and I think that many advancements can be ex- pected in the area of statistical coordination in the future." What's New At 764-1817 Hotline The Office of Student Organizations and Activities an- nounced yesterday they would not step up their inspection of fraternities despite the recent Ann Arbor police arrests of stu- dents found drinking. "We feel our present patrols are sufficient," one official said. ** * * In judicial action last night, the Interfraternity Council executive committee fined Zeta Beta Tau $75 for conduct un- becoming a fraternity because the fraternity had a party at which chaperons were not present. There was some doubt about whether there had been alcoholic beverages consumed but the executive committee found no evidence which would adequately support the suspicions. Vice-President for Research A. Goeffrey Norman said yester- day that information on the location of the new Atomic Energy Commission accelerator is being kept secret. He added that the December timetable for decision would probably not be met by the National Academy of Sciences, which is judging the site applications., Warren VanEgmond, '68, chairman of Young Americans for Freedom (YAF), said yesterday that YAF is not at present planning any opposition to this weekend's protests on the war in Viet Nam. Speaking personally, VanEgmond, said, "I'm willing to let them have their say. If they have no good ideas, people will know it." He added, however, that some members of YAF might plan some opposition at a membership meeting tonight at 7:30 in Room 3B of the Union. Long Distance The $4,3000,000 building given top priority by the state legislature's Senate-House Capital Outlay Committee will be a modern language building, John G. McKivett, assistant to the vice-president in charge of business and finance said last night. "Committee 'action indicates," McKivett said, "that they expect to approve the construction of this building at their next legislative session in the spring of '65. The building would be approved from preliminary plans to be submitted by Feb. 1. Bids for the construction of the building would be approved by mid- year of 1966. The proposed site of the building is near Burton 'Tower, north of Hill Auditorium." M* :t k Perhaps portending the events of the International Days of Protest this weekend, five Michigan State University students were arrested yesterday for passing out literature in front of a Marine Corps recruiting desk in the MSU Union. Howard Harrison, Peter Hornbeck, Fred Hanvrin, James Dukarm and Burton Halprin, all members of the MSU Committee to End the War in Viet Nam, were charged with interrupting the normal flow of operations in a public building and with dis- tributing material without the approval of the MSU administra- tion. Harrison, Hornbeck and Halprin were also charged with resisting arrest when they went limp. The five will be arraigned * this morning in the Lansing Township Justice Court.

Sorority recommendation forms are used by alumnae to recom- mend rushees to sorority actives. The SGC membership committee requested that sororities file their "rec" forms as part of a general statement of membership selec- tion policies. Feldkamp, when asked about future actions, said, "The viola- tion of not submitting materials is a flimsy one; there is some doubt as to whether the sororities understood the rules." He added that the situation as a whole is "a tremendous educational benefit, for the alumnae as well as for the girls." Ron Serlin, '66, chairman of the SGC membership committee, said recently that the committee would: "hate to make an example of one sorority." Sit-Down Protest In Milwaukee, University of Wisconsin students will attempt a sit-down protest at the home of the parents of Gen. Maxwell Tay- lor, forner ambassador to South Viet Nam, tomorrow. Booths in many local high schools will be set{ up to distribute information on how to avoid and protest the draft. While the University of Wiscon- sin is not officially opposing the protests, the Action Committee, not officially recognized nor back- ed by the university, plans a march to Truax Air Force Base. They will attempt to make a citizen's arrest of Col. Lester Arrowsmith, base commander, on the grounds that he is an "accessory to mur- der, violation of international law and crimes against humanity in the Viet Nam war."

Parades, Processions, Rallies Highlight Homecoming Plans See Arrests As Likely Downtown City Withdraws Ban On Action Saturday; Jail Vigil Scheduled By CHARLOTTE A. WOLTER Campus demonstrations includ- ing two parades, a memorial serv- ice for the dead in Viet Nam, an all-night vigil and a sit-in at the local draft board have been sched- uled for the International Days of Protest, October 15-16. The plans for the demonstrations were discussed and approved at a meet- ing last night of the groups spon- soring the protest. The group first discussd the motions passed by the Ann Arbor City Council Monday night con- cerning the requests submitted for parades and loudspeaker trucks to be included in the demonstrations. The council approved two parade routs and the use of stationary sound equipment. In another mo- tion, however, it has prohibited any activities on Saturday, the day of the homecoming football game. Because the ban on political ac- tivities seriously hampered the planned protest, several members of the group had met with city officials to clarify the council's decision. The city attorney indi- cated that marches, meaning pa- rades on a sidewalk, and station- ary loudspeakers were to be allow- ed at all times. The group then decided to abide by the council's decision, with the exception of us- ing bullhorns on the Saturday marches. Final Schedule The final schedule of activities begins with a vigil starting Sat- urday morning on the Diag. At 2 p.m. there will be a parade to the Selective Service office where some members of the group will com- mit civil disobedience. That eve- ning there will be a march coordi- nated with Homecoming activities that will move to the Ann Arbor jail for an all-night vigil in sym- { pathy with those arrested for civil disobedience. Saturday morning there will be a picket line on both sides of State Street until approximately 11:30 when the demonstrators will move to the stadium for leafletting. Aft- er the game will be a memorial service at Wines Field conducted by several ministers from the Ann Arbor area followed by a long march and rally to culminate the activities. 'ROTC Raffle' The group readily approved the idea of a "ROTC Raffle" to dram- atize the fact that many American soldiers will die in Viet Nam. The percentage of ROTC seniors who are likely to be killed in Viet Nam after they graduate will be cal- culated and the corresponding number of names drawn from a hat. The group will then place an advertisement in the form of an obituary in The Daily announcing that these men are. statistically. By WALLACE IMMEN This weekend's Homecoming, "nUMbers 65," offers an exciting spectrum of events for both stu- dents and alumni. New this year is a parade, con- sisting of over 60 units, includ- ing 10 bands and 25 floats, which incorporates the former Michigras parade. Michigras was eliminated due to trimester. The parade will wind through the city and then down Washington, S. State, S. University, and Church Streets from 3:30 until 5 p.m. At 7 p.m., a noisy procession will make its way from Markley Hall to a pep rally at Ferry Field. The program includes the Band, and comments by "Doc" Hazel Losh of the astronomy depart- ment, Tom Harmon, Wally Web- er, and Cazzie Russell, '66.

OPPOSITION INEFFECTIVE: De Gaulle Favored In D ecember Vote By ROBERT HIPPLER Associate Editorial Director Special To The Daily RACINE, Wis. - How can the U.S. best assist Latin American nations to develop their political maturity-while avoiding the haz- ard of subversion? This was the main topic of dis- cussion yesterday in the second day of the conference here on U.S. foreign policy toward L at i n America. The three-day conference, which is sponsored by the Johnson Foundation and arranged by mem- bers of several midwestern univer- sities, includes leading citizens from the midwest, academic ex- perts and representatives from the that the best course for the U.S. is to aid the development of those of European descent until they are able to turn and direct their efforts to assist the Indian popu- lations. These groups are substan- tially resistant to present efforts to help them through agricultural information, birth control, and hygiene education. Concentration of Efforts One specialist on Latin America pointed out that Mexico, in achieving its present moderate level of success, has concentrated its developments toward those of European descent and is only now turning to help Indian groups on a large scale. The importance of leadership in T'nf4i -A arinfn tflcn Oemnh. ing the Four Tops will follow the rally. Special Displays Residence halls, fraternities and sororities have been busy design- ing and assembling parts of dis- plays for several weeks. These will3 appear outside in time for judging Saturday. First of the series of unique events Saturday is the Gomberg- Taylor tug-of-war at 9 a.m. in Island Park, which has become a tradition during Homecoming. The 25-man teams selected from among about 60 men in both houses have been practicing se- cretly for several weeks. They will' line up on opposite ends of a heavy rope and attempt to pull each other into the Huron River.' The Mudbowl on S. University' and Washtenaw will be flooded at 10 a.m. for the next event, thej football rivalry between Sigma Al- pha Epsilon and Phi Delta Theta, which promises to become quite a messy affair. Between halves, the women of Collegiate Sorosis and Kappa Alpha Theta take the field for a soccer game. Chariot Racing Dog mascots of several frater- nity houses will race trailing char-' iots on the Diag at 11 a.m. Following the game, alumni will' assemble in a large tent to be erected outside the stadium to get a glimpse of how the University has changed and its plans for the f.,,..A * - hea-ni +mt c+Afntc I: in these countries.
