continued, only now will a truly
sensitive, skillful use of govern-

1961, the economy has clearly call-

For these reasons the mainten-

not be as easy to achieve as the

said.
The "Business Week" article
made two other noteworthy pre-
dictions: first, that state and local
government spending will rise
three times as fast as federal
spending; and second, that the
greatest growth of all industries
will occur in chemicals, especially
plastics.
Smith, Morss and Suits agreed
with the first prediction; Smith
and Suits noted one reason is that
defense, which constitutes one
half of government spending, will
not grow much (if the world situa-
tion does not change radically).
Smith also added that local and
state governments will be spend-
ing a sizable amount more than
currently on education, urban
problems and public services.
All three said the prediction for
the growth of the chemicals and
plastics field is the result of the
magazine's assumption that these
products will replace presently

The Citizens Committee on Housing in Ann Arbor, which
campaigned for a "no" vote in the recent Housing Commission
referendum, has completed an analysis of the referendum. George
Lemble, spokesman for the group, said yesterday that the most
significant finding indicates that approval of the commission
came primarily from citizens living in rental units, with less
support from homeowners. The analysis recommends an amend-
ment to the Housing Commission Ordinance placing a number
of stipulations on the commission, including no use of federal
public housing, no local' tax increase, housing only for needy
residents of the city, close council control of the commission,
and no building until a comprehensive and definitive survey has
been made. Lemble said that these were the key statements by
the proponents of the commission that brought a "yes" vote.
Applications for LSA scholarships for the Winter Term (ID,

Those applicants with a 2.8 or. better overall grade-point
average are eligible. However, in the recent past awards have
been made only to students with at least a 3.0 because of the
limitation of funds.
Stockwell residents at a recent house vote decided to con-

previously voiced a desire to completely eliminate these dinners.
Newberry Hall, alway's having had sit-down servings for every
meal; has been limited this term to sit-down dinners only. Al-
though Newberry residents petitioned for the reinstitution of
sit-down servings for all meals, Stockwell Director John A.
Pearson explained that, for economic reasons, dormitory sit-down
meals must be limited to one a day.

LEGAL AID CLINIC:
Law Students Serve
In Defense of Poor
.:y;.., x~,h , { ::r.;r. ? ....... ...? ...... {<, ;
By LYNNE ROTHCHILD
Legal aid clinics composed of
students who provide counsel for
those who cannot afford it, have
recently received notoriety due to
the arrestsresulting from the End
the War in Viet Nam protests
over Homecoming Weekend.
It was thought that the court
had refused to allow legal aid
students to represent those ar-
rested in this case. However, Judge
Francis O'Brien, to whose court
the protesters were brought, ex-
plained that all defendents were
represented by practicing attorn-
eys.
Therefore, as far as O'Brien
knows, no law student was involv-
ed in the defense of the demon-
strators. The problem now facing
the legal aid clinic is to decide
.whether or not to represent in-
digent demonstrators in the fu-
ture.
Lawyers Favor
According to both O'Brien and
George Newman, the student
chairman of the Law School's
Legal Aid Society, most lawyers
are in favor of legal aid and have
been very cooperative.
In general, the use of legal aid
has been successful, especially in
providing legal service for those
who are not financially able to do
so themselves. Without legal aid
the provisions for counsel of the
poor was not adequate. The court
only appointed attorneys in crim-
inal cases and lawyers were paid
only if a felony was involved.
The Bar Association had at one'
time provided lawyers for those
unable to pay, but this public
service could not adequately meet,
the need and was a imposition on
a few members of the Bar.
Prepare and Research
Also, legal aid students are par-
ticularly useful to lawyers in do-
ing research and in conducting
other preparations for a trial in'
the felony cases.
They have also been especially
valuable in dealing with legal
problems which do not involve
court action.
The experience gained as a legal
aid is useful to the law student.
In fact, the legal aid clinic has
more student participation than
most extra-curricular activities.
This is true despite the fact
that legal aid students are not
paid for their services. Thus, the
students, attorneys, and clients
benefit from the clinics.
,No Conflicts'
As long as legal aid students do
not assume the role of a practic-
ing attorney, there will be no con-
flicts between them and the mem-
bers of the Bar. Because of their
lack of experience, O'Brien strong-
ly emphasizes that legal aid stu-
dents should not plead a case un-
less they were supervised by an
attorney of record.
In other words, they should
work under a practicing lawyer
who would be responsible for the
case and who would direct and ad-
vise their actions.
As Newman pointed out, legal
aid students must establish a rep-
utation of good, competent service
before they can be accorded addi-
tional privileges and responsibili-
ties.
Rules Not Rigid
The rules governing the con-
duct of legal aid students have not
been rigidly set in Washtenaw
County, and the official policy will
have to come' from the Circuit
Court.
The legal aid clinic at the law
school was the first established in
the state of Michigan. Only jun-
ior and senior law students are
allowed to participate.
In Newman's opinion the future
of legal aid depends upon the
quality of representation and the
extent to which it continues gain-
ing the confidence of clients and
the professional Bar. Also, be-
cause of the need for legal serv-
ices for those who cannot afford
them, O'Brien foresees a wider use
of legal aid.

Smith Says Ratio
Won't Mean Pressure
From Legislature
By LEONARD PRATT
The proportion of out-of-state
students at the University's Ann
Arbor campus edged up slightly
this year, following six straight
years of decline in the relative
number of non-Michigan students
admitted.
Including all of the University's
campuses, the out-of-state ratio
was constant, again folldwing six
years of continual fall.
Marvin Niehuss, executive vice-
president, emphasized that the
stability of this year's ratio was
not an intentional University
policy.
General Intent
"There is a general intent to
keep the number of out-of-state
students at the University con-
stant," Niehuss explained. As the
University's enrollment rises, this
policy would tend to lower out-of-
state ratio.
Last spring, Niehuss estimated
that this fall's enrollment would
be 25.8 per cent out-of-state stu-
dents, which would have been a
decrease from last fall's figure of
27 per cent.
The final figures for this fall,
however, show an out-of-state en-
rollment of 27.2 per cent at the
Ann Arbor campus.
500 Extra
Allan Smith, vice-president for
academic affairs, explained that
the difference between the esti-
mate and the final total is some
500 extra out-of-state students
who were not expected to return,
but who did so.
Niehuss said that most of the
500 were upperclassmen and grad-
uate students. Smith emphasized
that the number of out-of-state
freshmen who were admitted has
remained constant.
If the University had kept its
number of out-of-state students
constant at around 8,000 as
planned, this fall's enrollment in-
crease of some 2,000 would have
cut out-of-state enrollment to the'
planned ratio.
Above Planned
It was thus the unexpected 500
that kept the ratio above what
had been planned.
"I don't object to it," Smith
said, commenting on the increase.
He felt the University had still
"lived up to its policy" of holding
the number of out-of-state stu-
dents constant.
Prior to 1959, when the present
decline began,, the University's
out-of-state ratio had wavered be-
tween 30 and 40 per cent each
year.

Vietnamese Students
By DAVID DUBOFF
A panel of five South Vietna-
mese students said here yester-
day, that the Viet Cong is sup-
ported by a minority of South
Vietnamese people-and indicated
the need for student involvement
in the corruption of the Saigon
government.
The students, all leaders of the
youth movement of South Viet
Nam, spoke before a capacity au-
dience in the Multipurpose Room
of the UGLI.
The students concerned them-
selves primarily with the issue of
the role of the National Libera-
tion Front.
Graduate Student
Nguyen Ang Tuyet, a graduate
student at the University of Sai-
gon in French Civilization, and
past president of the Catholic
Student Association of the Uni-
versity of Saigon, gave the gen-
eral feeling of the group when he
said that the Viet Cong was led
by "hard core" Communists sup-
ported by North Vietnamese mon-
ey and supplies.
He also said that only a minor-
ity of the people of South Viet
Nam support the Viet Cong, point-
ing out that most of their sup-
port comes from people who were
dissatisfied with the Diem regime,
and from the families of men
fighting for the National Libera-
tion Front.
of the South Vietnamese student'
movement in aiding the situation
of the people suffering from the
affects of the war. Tuyet told of
two incidents of social service work
carried on by youth groups.
In one program last summer, 8,-
000 students went into the coin-
tryside around Saigon and worked
with North Vietnamese refugees,
teaching them health and agricul-
tural methods and buildings roads,
houss and bridges. Tuyet also
mentioned a project in which stu-
dents worked in the poorer sec-
tions of Saigon, fixing up homes
and establishing a school.
The, students' role in alleviat-
ing the corruption of the Saigon
government was also dealt with
at length. Dang Van Thu, vice-
chairman of the Anti-Corruption
Youth Conference, said that cor-
ruption occurred as a consequence
of the exploitation by the French.
Both Duc and Dong said that
what is important is not the war
itself, which is what the protestors
here concentrate on, but the sit-
uation of the South Vietnamese
people. Dong pointed out that aft-
er the war the people's problems
will still remain, and this is why,
he said, the Vietnamese students
are obliged to" become involved in
politics and social service.
