LXXVI, No. 3 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, TUESDAY, AUGUST 31, 1965 SEVEN CENTS TEN PAGES Barrera Resigns In Favor of GAS unta SANTO DOMINGO M)-The' * civilian-military junta that gov- erns part of this divided country resigned last night. Gen. Antonio Imbert Barrera, president of the junta, announced the resignation in a radio-tele- vision address. The resignation of the five- man junta clears the way for the installation of a civilian-military junta proposed by the Organiza- tion of American States political committee., OAS Negotiations The announcement came after weeks of frustrating negotiations by the OAS political committee, led by United States Ambassador Ellsworth Bunker. There was no official word when the provisional government would take power but there were some indications that former Dominican diplomat Hector Garcia Godoy, the provisional president - designate, might be sworn in this week. Four of the five junta members signed the resignation. The un- explained holdout was Commodore Francisco J. Rivera Caminero, the junta's armed forces secretary and apparently the group's military strongman. Reconciliation Under the 10-part "Act of Do- minican Reconciliation" negotiated by the OAS team, the provisional government would remain in of- fice for nine months until na- tional free elections. Imbert indicated that the junta's sudden resignation was at least in part a face-saving measure since the economic situation made a settlement imperative. The junta had accepted the OAS peace formula earlier this month with the understanding there would be no modifications. OAS Changes Since then, however, the OAS negotiators have accepted some changes proposed by the rebels. These include clauses allowing the return of rebel military men into the armed forces and authorizing the rebel regime to disarm the civilians who had rallied to the rebel cause after the civil strife erupted in April. The resignation and plan came after an outbreak on Sunday of the sharpest fighting here since last June's action. Dominican military leaders sup- porting the junta denied that their troops launched a mortar attack that started the fighting. Mortar Fire The officers said an investiga- tion turned up no evidence that the mortar shells which fell into the rebel-held sector of Santo Domingo had come from their positions. Earlier the inter-American peace force reported the their radar picked up mortor fire coming from the junta-controlled sector north of American military lines. Rebels Attack A United States military spokes- man said yesterday reports indi- cated rebel forces attacked the presidential palace, touching off the liveliest exchange of gunfire in the city $n more than a month. Rebel Presidential Minister iec- tor Aristy denied that any attack had been launched by the rebel forces. He' told newsmen by telephone from the rebel quarter that heavy gunfire, including mortars and 106mm recoilless rifle shells, had landed in the downtown area in the vicinity of Independence Park. Five Killed The peace force said the mor- tar fire killed five persons and wounded more than a dozen. One Paraguayan soldier in the peace force was wounded. The fighting flared Sunday night at about 9:50 p.m. and con- tinued until shortly after mid- night. Rebel officials said an investiga- tion was continuing to determine if there were more victims in the most battered part of their sector closest to Brazilian and U.S. lines. Commodore Francisco J. Rivera Caminero, junta armed forces secretary, emphatically deniedrhis troops had fired any weapons dur- ing the night. At the same time, the junta armed forces chief of staff, Gen. Jacinto Martinez Arana, told newsmen some of his officers had seen mortar fire coming from areas of the city occupied by American forces. A U.S. military spokesman said American forces had not fired mortars since May. mortars since May. 0nson ets Steel- trie ela I What's New At 764 1817 Hotline A new development for the fall in campus student activism -civil disobedience-was foreshadowed last night when Voice political party discussed participation in a nation-wide Viet Nam demonstration and student strike. Twenty of 90 members at the meeting said they were .willing to commit civil disobedience on Oct. 15 at ROTC drills or at the Ann St. armory. Also discussed at the meeting were plans to form a private student-faculty- administration corporation to get federal education funds to build inexpensive student apartments. s * * Ann Arbor City Council authorized a building permit for a 26-story high-rise apartment structure planned for the corner' of Maynard and William last night. It had reserved the power to consider su'ch developments when it drafted an 18-story height limitation last month. The building, expressly planned for non- students, will be served by off-site parking for 75 cars. The Ann Arbor Co-ordinating Committee of the Committee for a Public Hearing on Foreign Policy announced the details of its conference on Viet Nam. The participants in. the confer- ence will include humanists, artists, writers, social theorists, and area and development experts from around the world. * * * * The University's $50 enrollment deposit program will be re- placed by a $50 tuition deposit program beginning this fall, Merlin W. Miller, associate registrar, announced yesterday. Within the, next month, all enrollment deposits will be credited as partial., tuition payments,{ with refunds beginning November 1. Due to delays in transferring records, the Students Accounts Office says it will have no information on refunds until after November 1. * * * * Edward G. Groesbeck, registrar, stuck to his predictions of an all-time high enrollment. They estimated enrollment of 30,900 students is 6.2 per cent above the 29,103 students who enrolled last fall. Busy Signal Norma F. Kraker, superintendent of the Off Campus Housing division of the Office of Student Affairs, yesterday criticised the high prices of off campus housing. "A Housing Committee has been set up by the City Council to show a need for lower prices in apartments rented off campus," Mrs. Kraker said. Other committees appointed to solve the price problem include President Harlan Hatcher's Blue Ribbon Committee, headed by Asst. Dean of the Law School Roy F. Profitt. wiretap Regent Eugene B. Power of Ann Arbor is reportedly ready to give the University a gift of $1 million to build a dramatic arts theatre for such presentations as the Professional Theatre Pro- gram. The additional $1.5-2.5 million needed to construct the 1200 seat theatre in Felch Park would come from, internal Uni- versity sources. Such a theatre has long been on the list of pro- posed University construction, but has always been low on the priority list until now. Power refused comment. * * * * In what could be the hottest fraternity discrimination case in years, the executive committee of the Interfraternity Council will probably discuss the membership policies of Sigma Chi at its 7:15 meeting tonight. Ever since the Stanford University chapter of Sigma Chi was suspended from the national fraternity list spring, allegedly because it had pledged a Negro student, colleges across the country and federal officials such as U.S. Commissioner of Education Francis Keppel have been lambasting the fraternity's policies. IFC actions in the Sigma Chi case would probably parallel those taken in imposing sanctions on Trigon last year. Long Distance Rep. Jack Faxon (D-Det.) said yesterday he has verified with the legislative auditor's office that the investigation of the University's financial records is progressing on schedule.

Instructors' Pay Held Up For Month Schedule Revisions Create Confusion, New Loan System By HARVEY WASSERMAN There may be some unexpected- ly hard going for a number of University teaching fellows for at leasta month this fall due to a change in this year's pay sched- ules. As a result of a policy change over the summer, teach- ing fellows and visiting profes- sors will be paid not at the be- ginning of this month, as they were last year, but rather at month's end, according to Wil- liam J. Schlatter, assistant to the vice-president for academic af- fairs. Because many of the fellows were apparently uninformed of this fact, at least a few of them will probably be making use of a newly created interest-free "emergency" loan now being of- fered them by the Office of Fi- nancial Aids. The new change in payroll pol- icy, according to Schlatte, re- sulted largely from the fact that last year's pay schedule included a final check which was not sent, to the teaching fellows until May 31, over a month past the semes- ter's end. 12-Month Basis In years past, fellows were paid on a monthly, 12-check basis. A few years ago, however, a 10- check system was instituted with payments starting at the end of August. However, since final checks were sent at a date 'so far past the end of the semester, many of the instructors who didn't remain in Ann Arbor during the summer were inconvenienced. Thus the policy was changed over this past summer so that payment was to be made in eight instead of nine checks, and the final check would come at the end of the winter semester. A Second Change The new system, however, also involves a second change-where the first check had come on Au- gust 31 last year, this year's sys- tem does not allow for a payment until the end of September. Since appointments to teaching fellows are often not made until the very beginning of the semester, the change has little affect on the new fellows. There are, however, those fel- lows who are returning to teach1 here, who had planned on the initial paycheck to tide them through registration, first month's food and ,rent, and books and who were not informed of the policy change. These instructors came to face an expensive month with no money. For many of the fellows there is consolation in the fact that some departments have raised pay. In addition, at least one depart- ment is planning temporary fi- nancial aid for those who had planned closely on their first pay- check. -AssociateaPress PRESIDENT LYNDON B. JOHNSON meets with steel negotiators In the White House Cabinet Room yesterday.. PRESIDENT MARRIES:, EQCAsksJIG To Grant Election For Alleged Presidential Gap 8-Day Wait Reached by Arbitrators Negotiations Continue In Washington on President's Request WASHINGTON (M)-President Lyndon B. Johnson last night an- nounced an eight-day postpone- ment of the today's midnight steel strike deadline. Johnson said steel unions and management negotiators will con- tinue the talks for which he sum- moned them to the White House. His ;announcement of the post- ponement came six hours after the. negotiators began talks. No Shutdowns He added, "This morning I re- questedthat there be no shut downs of operations and that pro- duction by the steel industry con- tinue. during the negotiations by the parties," he said. "In response to my request, the union and company representa- tives have agreed to postpone the imminent shutdown fo eight days. "During this period they will continue their negotiations in Washington,," Johnson said. Repeat In a move reminiscent of his successful intervention last year in the railroad dispute, Johnson summoned both sides to the White House and gave them a 45-minute lecture on their responsibilities. Johnson's action followed a 2%- hour breakfast meeting with Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore) and Un- dersecretary of Commerce LeRoy Collins, his personal emissaries to the steel talks in Pittsburgh, Morse and Collins reported the negotiations stalemated and told the President "the parties alone are unable to reach a settlement." Will Continue Press secretary Bill D. Moyers said "they are continuing to talk and they will continue, hopefully, until a settlement is reached." Moyers said the President met with the six principal negotiators for the United Steelworkers and the four for the 10 major steel companies for about an hour in the cabinet room. The companies involved in the negotiations produce about 80 per cent of the nation's basic steel. Strong Appeal "The President made a strong, unemotional, straightforward ap- peal as the 'leader of the country for the negotiators to put the na- tional interest first," Moyers said. Moyers said Johnson stressed the "tragic consequences" of a steel strike to the nation's econ- omy and quoted a report from the Defense Department which said one bureau "cannot afford the loss of- a single day's produc- tion." Moyers didn't name the bureau. The President, however, pre- viously has said a steel strike could have a harmful effect on the war effort in Viet Nam. Taft-Hartley Moyers said in answer to a question there was no mention at the meeting of any plans by John- son to invoke the Taft-Hartley Act to hnb ck astrike for s80 davs By ROBERT BENDELOW East Quadrangle Council has filed a judiciary case requesting an immediate election to fill a vacancy in the office of Inter- quadrangle Council which they contend exist. The complaint, filed with Joint Judiciary and Interquadrangle Councils, contends that Lee Horn- berger, now occupying the office of president of IQC is: -Not qualified to hold the of- fice; and -Illegally in that position as his succession to it, from his post as vice-president, is in opposition to "the clear language of the con- stitution." Eadie Got Married The vacancy was caused by the marriage of John Eadie, elected, as president of IQC in last win- ter's trimester. The main contention centers around a simple clause in the IQC constitution: "If the vacancy oc- curs during the second semester, the vice-president shall serve out the term as president." Horn- berger and the plaintiffs, East Quadrangle Council differ on what exactly the second semester is. The Crucial Resignation Eadie has not, as yet, r:esigned from his position, and this too is crucial. If, as East Council con- tends, Eadie ceased to be a quad- rangle resident when he left at the end of the winter semester, he would no longer satisfy the pri- mary requisite for membership on the Interquadrangle Council. That is, he would no longer be a resi- dent of the quadrangle system. In this case the vacancy would have occured April 25, when EQC says Eadie left West Quadrangle. However, if the vacancy will not occur before Eadie officially re- signs the position of president, then there is as yet no vacancy. If so a vacancy in the office would occur duringthe second semester of Eadie's term, and Hornbprger would then succeed him. East Quad Council maintains that the vacancy occured whenI Eadie's residence hall contract ex- pired, without a renewal, at the end of the winter semester. Such a vacancy would have occurred in the first semester, they contend,j and would be filled by an elec- tion by house presidents. Two Meanings "Second semester" has been as- signed two possible meanings by Fall Enrollment Up by 1800 EQC in their complaint: -"The period from Monday, August 30, 1965, to December 18, 1965. That is, the president's term consists of a first semester of 10 weeks in the spring, a second se- mester in the fall, and a third semester of 4-5 weeks in the winter." It is noted that this leaves a gap, or "third semester" "when the vice-presideht would not succeed, but the election of a new president . . . could take place." -"The period from about Sep- tember 30, 1965, to the election date in late January, 1965. That is two equal periods each a se- mester long, beginning on January 30, 1965 and ending in late Jan- uary 1966."r First or Second? If, as IQC contends, Eadie did vacate the office of president of IQC in the Spring when his resi- dence hall contract expired, the vacancy occurred in the first semester for either possible mean-. ing of "second semester." In this case, an election is called for, and Hornberger cannot succeed to the presidency except by winning the election. On the other hand, if the va- cancy does not occur until Eadie resigns, then it will come about during the second semester, and Hornberger is entitled to succeed. However, even if Hornberger is entitled to succeed, he does not meet a requirement for the presi- dency which is "The president shall have had at least one year's prior experience in residence halls student government on the IQC By ROBERT KLIVANS Edward Groesbeck, University registrar,' said yesterday that al- though final figures on the past week's registration will not be ready for several weeks, it appears that the totals will run very close to what was expected. Estimated enrollments of 30,900 students at the University and its affiliated' campuses for the fall semester of this year would result in an increase of 1800 over last year's total, Groesbeck said. The freshman class numbers about 4600, a change of 375 stu- dents over last year. This includes three. Groesbeck attributed this to the graduate student enroll- ment, particularly in Law, since Law School commenced the fol- lowing day. However, the labyrinth in Wa- terman Gym may be a thing of the past within two years, if present plans are fulfilled. "As soon as the data-processing facilities match our data-proces- sing plans and procedures," Groes- beck said, "registration will be- come a. relatively simple matter." Groesbeck explained that all pertinent information will be transferred from the computer ,ards now used in reistrationin possibility that classification could be conducted by phone, although it is not now being planned. With the new system, an old friend, the student ID number, will fall by the side to be replaced by an even older friend, the social security number. The machines necessary for the changeover should be ready within eighteen months, Groesbeck noted, and with their arrival will come "a drastic change in our regis- tration procedures." Groesbeck noted that projected enrollment figures for this year indicate a decreasing percentage of nit-f a, Q flIA-nfe of fh i cI
