The course is being con- structed in an effort to solve problems of over crowding at the University varsity golf course, ac- cording to spokesmen. The new course, bounded by Geddes, Gale and Dixboro Roads, has been in the planning and development stages since 1957, when Regent Frederick C. Mat- thaei began to deed property to the University for this and other projects. In 1957 the land now occupied by the University's botanical gar- dens, amounting to about 220 acres, was deeded to the Univer- sity by Matthaei. In 1962 and 1963 Matthaei added about 220 t more acres to the .development, began early in 1963 when Prof.' and by the middle of 1963 the Walter Chambers, chairman of the University owned the area now Department of Landscape Archi- constituting the 310-acre golf tecture, began to examine the course, the botanical gardens, and some surrounding undeveloped land. As soon as the deeding pro- cedures are completed in 1966, the University will have received a total of 871 acres from Regent Matthaei. He has reserved seven acres upon which his home sits. He has a lifetime lease on this property, which he intends also to eventually go to the University. Matthaei explained that the deeds were phased to coordinate with the administration's plansl for the golf course and to render satisfactory taxation priviledges. Designing of the new golf course land in terms of terrain suitable for a golf course. Encouraged by the rolling lay of the land, a small board of planners soon submitted a design for the course. Early in 1964 Prof. Chambers bowed out after an administrative decision from the University that a professional landscape agent should complete. the work. Peter Dye, a contractor from Indianapolis, was then contracted to complete the course. He is now finishing landscaping on the sec- ond nine holes. The first nine holes of the course are landscaped and (as soon as some minor seed- ing problems are solved) wil be open for play in the late spring of 1966.

Hatcher: Protestors SGC Election Today Will IFC Probes Sigma Chi Racial Bias Committee To Issue Study on Fraternity Racial Discrimination By LAURENCE MEDOW John Feldkamp, assistant to the vice-president for student affairs, reports that the Interfraternity Council membership committee is "very close" to issuing its report to the IFC executive committee on a study of the alleged racial discrimination in Sigma Chi fra- ternity's membership policies. Sigma Chi has been given na- tonwide attention since the na- tional fraternity suspended its Stanford chapter almost simul- taneously with that chapter's pledging of a Negro. Jon Maich, '66, president of Sigma Chli, said the national's rationale for the suspension was that the Stanford chapter was not adhering to the ideals and rituals of Sigma Chi and, therefore, it' appeared that the chapter no longer had any in- terest in remaining a part of the national organization. He empha- sized that the chapter was only suspended and has not been ex- pelled from the Sigma Chi na- tional. Fraternity 'In Trouble' March admitted that the "na- tional fraternity is in trouble across the country." He attributed the difficulty to statements made by Harry Wade, a former presi- dent of the national. "His state- ments were more his own opinion than those of the fraternity, how- ever," March said. March said that the closeness of the suspension and the pledg- ing of the Negro brought the fra- ternity under fire because of pos- sible connections between the two! events. As part of a panel on "The Na- ture of Fraternity" sponsored by the Northwestern University IFC last Thursday night, Fred Yoder,i assistant executive secretary of the Sigma .Chi national, said, "Theoretically, a fraternity as a private organization has the right to discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color or creed." He added, however, that "the frater- nity also exists within a univer-1 sity." OSA Statement Feldkamp admitted that Negroes probably avoid Sigma Chi because of the house's reputation for dis- crimination. "In part, it's their awareness of the fraternity," Feld- kamp said. "From what we can see from the evidence, that door See IFC, Page 6 What's New at 764-1817' Have Rights New IBM Hotline Mayor Wendell E. Hulcher's five appointees to the new housing commissionhave been invitedto a public meeting tonight during which they can give their views on the commisson and ts relatonship to the housing problem in Ann Arbor. Frederick M. Remley of the Federation for an Ann Arbor Housing Commission invited the candidates to the meeting, which will be held at 8 p.m. in the Wesley Lounge of the First Methodist Church on South State St. As of last night, three of the five appointees had accepted Remley's invitation. Joseph W. Edwards and Henry V. Aquinto, however, have expressed reluctance to appear publicly before the council's vote. The council will vote on the mayor's appointments at next Monday's meeting. A $53,768 grant from the U.S. Department of Health, Edu- cation, and Welfare has been awarded to the University's School of Public Health for research on "Factors Associated With Con- sent for Autopsy." The research is being conducted under the direction of Professors Renee Marks and Carleton S. Guptill of the public health school. UAC, Panhel and IFC are sponsoring a bucket drive for the Ann Arbor Tutorial Drive today and Thursday. Proceeds will be used by Tutorial to buy books and to transport tutors.

The evaluation, which was three weeks in the making, rates about 20 local restaurants on a point scale according to such factors as quality of food, price and cleanliness. All students are invited to an open meeting of the literary college ,steering committee to discuss the topic of counseling. James Shaw, new chairman of the junior-senior counseling office, will be present at the meeting Thursday at 4 p.m. in Rm. 3D of the Union.

Long Distance Two students distributing copies of "Logos," a newsletter of the Committee for Students' Rights, at residence halls at Mich- igan State Univeristy yesterday were ordered to stop their dis- tribution by residence hall advisors. Both students refused and were threatened by the advisors with retaliation from the administration. George Fish, CSR coordinator for Fee Hall, insisted that distributing the literature was within his rights and that the university had no regulations prohibiting the distribution. An advisor threatened him with suspension. When another student, Mike Price, refused to stop distri- bution at another residence hall, authorities called the East Lans- ing police, who refused to arrest Price. He was then informed that the authorities would "see him before the dean." Freedom of Speech Guaranteed but Police: Will Act on Violations By SHIRLEY ROSICK University President H a r l a n Hatcher yesterday affirmed the right of student protestors to bas- ic civil liberties, regardless of how their actions might affect the University's image and currentI fund drive, in a speech delivered before business leaders in Chi-. cago.

Distinction President Hatcher said that a distinction must be drawn be- tween illegal actions and distaste- ful actions, and that to prohibit expression of opinions merely dis- tasteful "would be a violation of the constitutional freedoms so1 precious to all of us.' This was an unprecedented move for the President, who tra- ditionally has avoided public state- ments on student activism. Last fall, after members of the Student Employes' Union marched on his home, he urged student leaders to use "established chan- nels of communication," such as Student Government Council, rather than resort to protests. President Hatcher, along with other adninistrators, called last spring's faculty plan for a "work moratorium" to express disagree- ment with the government's poli- cy in Viet Nam "inappropriate and irrelevant." Convocation At a Student Convocation last March he againavoided asserting the rights of protestors, though he did express his "respect" for those concerned with solving problems in Viet Nam and Selma, Ala. And, he once more caution- ed that discontent be registered by orderly, established methods. Vice-President for Student Af- fairs Richard Cutler said that in yesterday's s p e e c h President Hatcher expressed what has been the policy of the Office of Student Affairs "for a long time" in guar- anteeing students' civil liberties. Don Resnick, '68, SGC member and president of the StudentEm- ployes' Union, said that he was glad to see that the President did affirm students' rights but that he felt the idea is so basic that it shouldn't have had to be affirmed. Resnick admitted that he didn't mittee is expected to report the findings of its hearings in a few 'days and to issue a decision at that time concerning the validity of Schiff's charges. The committee met on Novem- ber 9 to hear testimony from wit- nesses supporting the administra- tion's case. Last night students and faculty appeared before the committee to support Schiff's charges. ACLU Representative Testifies Also presenting testimony in be- half of Schiff was Hugh Ander- son ,vice-chairman of the East Lansing branch of the American Civil Liberties Union. Anderson told The Daily that the Civil Liberties Union is "equally inter- ested in the procedural aspects of this case, the university's fail- ure to give Schiff a hearing, and the basis on which the university is attempting to expell Schiff. "All of the original reasons for expelling him," Anderson went on, "are related to the exercise of his F i r s t Amendment freedoms; speech, association and press." MSU maintains that Schiff violated the university's distribu- tion policy by distributing copies of an unapproved political per- iodical door-to-door in dormitories last year. Distribution Rule Anderson contends in answer to this charge that, "the University has never denied that three weeks after the distribution, in the May 11 issue of the State News, it was reported that President John Han- nah had approved that rule (no door - to - door distribution) on May 10. "The rule at the time of the distribution was, as stated by Hannah in a letter to the Ameri- can Civil Liberties Union in Feb- ruary, that there was no ban or bar on distribution of literature in dormitories or elsewhere."

Voters will choose from four candidates from each of the par- ties and four independents to fill six SGC vacancies. The election will be marked by use of computers for ballot count- ing, and by the subsequent adop- tion of an IBM grid ballot. William Meeske, '69, SGC elec- tions director, said that "anyone with an ID card can vote." Stu- dents will be able to ballot at vot- ing stations at West Quadrangle, East Quadrangle, South Quad- rangle, Mary Markley Hall, the Diag, the Fishbowl, the Engineer- ing Arch, the UGLI, the north- west corner of Angell Hall, the School of Architecture and De- sign, the Physics and Astronomy Bldg., Palmer Field, the front en- trance of the Union, the Frieze Bldg., and the Law Quaddrangle. All stations except that at the Law School will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Candidates Candidates for the six SGC seats are GROUP party members Darryl Alexander, '69; Ruth Baumann, '68; Don Resnick, '68; and Ed Robinson, '67; REACH party mem- bers Al Goodwin, '66; Neill Hol- lenshead, '67; Pat McCarty, '67; and Bob Smith, '67; and independ- ents Robert Bodkin, '67; Joan Ir- win, '66; Eduard Mauer, '67; and Jim Wall, '67. Voters will select candidates by blackening ovals on the ballot grid corresponding to candidates of their choice. In addition, the ballot has been designed with in- formation columns in which voters can indicate their sex, class, te of balloting, participation in pre- vious election, and residence. The ballots will be completed with special IBM pencils provided at each of the 16 polling places. Members of the SGC Credentials and Rules Committee will hear any complaints of illegal proced- ure after the polls close and pass judgments, should any arise. The ballots will then be processed through Universityrcomputers for counting on time rented by SGC. Committee members will examine ballots picked out by the comput- ers because of variance or mis- takes and consider their validity. Write-Ins A special grid on the ballot, marked with a 00 number has been planned for signification of write-in candidates. The 00 ovals By BOB BENDELOW' In a rally at noon yesterday on the Diag, sponsored by Voice poli- tical party,hProf. Frithjof Berg- mann, of the philosophy depart- ment, and Prof. Richard Mann, of the psychology department spoke out against the present United States commitment in Viet Nam. Bergmann said that the U.S. stand in Viet Nam supports the wrong side on the conflict. He traced the rise of two groups in Viet Nam, after it became a free country. He said that the U.S. supports the "collaborators," the people who worked with the col- onizers, the French, when Viet Nam was a colony. In his opinion, Bergmann said that the U.S. should instead have aided the "resistors," those people who op-. posed the colonial rule and whom he feels are more in sympathy with the native elements. "Blackmail" of U.S. A minority government in popu- larity, such as we are now aiding, he said, must progress to a point by which it must "blackmail" the aiding country to get more sup- port, to continue its existence. He said that a minority government must become repressive and cor- rupt to stay in power. tors, he said, would want radical changes to remove the remaints of colonialism from their coun- try, and this could be economically disadvantageous for the aiding country. Also, the resistors would be wary of offers of help from a major power, just after leaving the rule of another one, he added. But, in his opinion, the aiding country must win over the resistors; to have any chance of forming a stable government, they must sup- port them and back them. Thus, Bergmann feels that "we backed the wrong side in Viet Nam ten years ago." He feels that the U.S. should have supported the anticolonial resistors, and used their inherent dislike of the Chi- nese to exclude that country from advances in the region. To do this would have avoided the present war, he said. Solution Bergmann said that American foreign policy is trying at present to keep Viet Nam divided, and to install a Saigon government which "may have some power." This, he commented, will recreate the situation of ten years ago" and the whole thing might start over. In Bergmann's opinion, free elections % TO STUDY DISCRIMINATION: Discuss Panhellenic Committee By CAROLE KAPLAN Hesitation and mixed feelings on the part of sorority presidents and vague reactions from na- tionals concerning the proposed Panhellenic membership commit- tee keynoted the meeting of Pan- hellenic Association's presidents' a favorable recation from the local alumnae.
