Both Berman and Wells are
agreed to printing the statements
on the editorial page after the
hearings are completed and a de-
cision has been reached.
According to Berman, the crux
of the issue is "whether or not the
editorial board can overrule the
editor." Berman points out that
the advisor retains ultimate au-
thority over what goes in the paper
and that the other four editors
were "strictly in an advisory ca-
pacity to the editor."
Wells, who has filled the posi-
tions of the four resigning editors
with two sophomores and two jun-
iors said, "I don't feel bad about
the resignations." Referring to
Berman's role on the paper Wells
said, "He's a big help. I use his-
judgment quite often but I don't
feel I'm being consored."
However Sterba disagrees. "I'd
like to see the advisor be an ad-
visor, not a person with ultimate
authority over everything that
goes in the paper."
Wells, who received the resigna-
tion of three more senior staff

members yesterday including the
paper's culture editor, said that he
referred to a number of parties
before making his decisions. He
consulted U.S. District Court Jus-
tice Noel P. Fox who has heard
the Schiff case and members of
the Faculty Committee on Stu-
dent Affairs. Wells said they told
him to use his own judgment.
While Wells consulted with the
judge and faculty members, Sterba
and two of the other resigning
staffers discussed tloe issue with
MSU President John H a n n a h
Wednesday night. According to
Sterba, Hannah said he had no
objection to printing the story,
although he would prefer the stu-
dents to wait. He added that if the
editors thought they were right,
they should go ahead and print it.
Hannah refused to talk to re-
porters yesterday.

Ben Moore, president of Local 1583 of the American Federa-
tion of State, County and Municipal Employes (AFL-CIO), filed
a petition yesterday with the State Labor Board asking to be
recognized as the bargaining agent for the University Hospital
building service department and the hospital service unit.
However, the Nov. 23 hearing at which the unions' petitions
asking to be recognized as the bargaining agents for University
employes has been postponed indefinitely, pending the attorney
general's opinion, Moore added.. A new date will be set after the
opinion on whether the University's employes are covered by a
recent amendment to the Hutchinson Act is released
Moore wants to represent the maids, porters, janitors, window
and wall washers in the building service department and the
maids and porters in the service unit. This would cover about
226 employes in the hospital.
Moore also said that Local 1583 has sent a letter to Personnel
Director Charles Allmond asking that the University recognize the
local as the bargaining agent for these two units. Moore added
that next week his union will file another petition asking to be
recognized as the bargaining agent for the hospital's central
service department (elevator operators, messenger services),
nursing service (nurses aides and orderlies) and the department
of dietitics.
A scheduled launching of four small rockets by a private
company under contract with the University and using the
facilities of the U-owned rocket range in the Upper Peninsula
has been postponed awaiting more favorable weather conditions.
' The next possible launch date is Monday.
The Space Defense Corporation of Birmingham, Michigan,
is developing a system of gathering weather data from buoys
floating on the oceans. Harold F. Allen of the Aerospace En-
gineering Department is director of the project and manages
the 200-acre range which the University received from a mining
company and began to develop last year.
Long Distance
Wayne State University has granted a charter to a campus
chapter of the controversial, leftist W.E.B. DuBois Club. Dr.
James P. McCormick, WSU vice-president for student affairs
said the approval was held up for several weeks while the univer-
sity checked out charges that the DuBois clubs are Communist-
font organizations.
Inquiries to the attorneys general in Lansing and Washington
brought forth replies that there would be no reason to deny,
recognition to the group. But campus chapters of the Young
Republican Club and the Young Americans for Freedom issued
attacks on the university's action.
Students will seek to raise a minimum of $5000 to finance
what they call "Operation Tender Tiger."
Patrick Brennan, president of the student council, said the
project is an effort to "do something positive to show our
feelings" about the current Viet Nam conflict.
Studnets will seek to raise a minimum of $5000 to finance
"adoption" of an orphanage or a village in Viet Nam. Brennan
said the project "will show our GIs that not all college, students
are dirty little people who carry signs and burn draft cards."

the 1966-67 financial aid program.

Special Treatment
A number of midwestern uni-
versities were represented at the
talks in Chicago. The University
was hoping for "special treat-

trisemester school. Ordinarily,
fund allocations are not made
known until February, but a res-
toration of the NDEA loan request
and possible additional funds may
be forthcoming in January, Rea
said.
