Since 1961, the economy has clearly call- ed for policies to spur growth, but with the higher level that the country has now attained the more delicate job of keeping the expansion on an even keel is the government's task. When a decision has to be made. the country will not be allowed the luxury of two years that it took to accomplish the tax cut. For these reasons the mainten- ance of stable gr'iwth rate may not be as easy to achieve as the articles seems to imply, Smith 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 used materials. growth.

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, and the Spring-Summer Term (IIIA and IIIB), 1966, are now available in Rm. 1220 Angell Hall. The applications will be due no later than Wed., Nov. 17, 1965. Applicants must have had at least one full semester of residence In the college. 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- tinue to have sit-down dinners once a week. Many residents had 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. This term's first issue of the Michigan Technic, published.by students of the College of Engineering, came out yesterday with a cover story on the Apollo Spacecraft flight systems. Also con- tained in the October issue is a picture essay on the college, high- lighting its special research facilities. Long Distance Congressman Weston E.

For First Time in Seven 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. -Daily-Richard Seiner THESE FIVE SOUTH VIETNAMESE students spoke in the UGLI yesterday on the war in Viet Nam, supporting United States policy there. The Viet Cong are supported by a minority of the South Vietnamese people, they said, and are receiving aid from the north. U.S.Action Supported, -f 27% Freeze' Not Intended -Niehuss 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. By 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.
