Conference, Sets Goals For City Urge Acceptance Of U' Students as Local Citizens By NEAL BRUSS Goals for effective urban de- velopment in the Ann Arbor mu- nicipal area were evaluated yes- terday by the Citizens Association for Area Planning (CAAP) at a- conference at the Michigan Un- ion. Symposiums dealing with the re- lation of Ann Arbor to the sur- rounding area, education and community growth, and the changing character of Ann Arbor were held to provide opportunity for discussion between University and community authorities and ci- tizens. As presented at a final session last night, goals determ- ined included: -Moving toward acceptance of University students as integrated citizens within the community. -Encouraging communication between Ann Arbor officials and those of other Washtenaw Coun- ty townships and cities. --Stimulating real .estate devel- opments that retain the tradi- tional character of the communi- ty. -Working for "quality educa- tion" at all levels in Ann Arbor. -Establishing a community na- ture center and historical museum. -Approving "reasonably priced, architecturally acceptable 'hous'- ing" for all residents. -Creating a metropolitan mas- ter plan to regulate all phases of growth. -Conserving and developing the Huron River Valley. -Improving transportation fa- cilities . -Providing "dignified work and residential opportunities" for in- dividuals with junior college edu- cations. The all-day sessions included specialized workshops and were highlighted by addresses on sig- nificant phases of the conference effort., Grady Clay, real estate editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal and founder of the Louisville Citi- zens Metropolitan Planning Coun- cil, gave the keynote address. He 4 stressed the importance of civic involvement in planning and the need for encouragement of pri- vate real estate developments. A meeting of CAAP was slated for early February, at which time the work of the conference would be continued by the delegates and additional members from other groups in the conmunity. What's New At 764-1817 IHotline Finalists for Winter Weekend '66 Skit Night were selected last night after semi-final eliminations in the Michigan Union. Winners were: Alpha Epsilon Phi-Zeta Beta Tau; Chi Omega- Alpha Tau Omega; Delta Gamma-Sigma Chi; Kappa Alpha Theta-Delta. Tau Delta; Sigma Delta Tau-Tau Delta Phi. These five pairs of housing units will now wait until Feb. 25 at 8 p.m. when they will appear at Hill Auditorium in the finals. VOICE political party last night elected Peter DiLorenzi as its new chairman succeeding Eric Chester. Elected to the group's executive committee were: David Bloom, '68, Eileen Cantrell, '69, Eric Chester, Mike Locker, Grad, Stanley Nadel, Joyce Reymer, '66, Gary Rothberger, '67, David Smokler, '66. Also discussed at the meeting were VOICE's plans for participation in the planned China teach in set for sometime in middle or late March and aid in the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee's support of a grape-pickers strike in Delano, Calif. The membership also voted to sponsor a visit of Herbert Aptheker on campus. Aptheker, chairman of the American Institute of Marxist Studies recently returned from a trip to North Viet Nam. Wiretap Prof. Frank E. Richart, chairman of the department of civil engineering has received an award for his work in helping the Air Force solve a frost heave problem at a Minuteman missile site. The citation accompanying the award notes Richart "dis- tinguished himself by outstanding achievement" during work at Grand Forks Air Force Base, North Dakota, from April 8 to Aug. 10 last year. * * * * Zeta Tau Alpha, one of the smaller sororities on campus, will conduct an expansion program next week to gain new members. It hopes to increase its membership from about 20 girls to about 65, to justify the opening of an annex to its present house which has a capacity of 40. The expansion program is a result of a need for members which was not filled during rush, and will be conducted through personal contact by members of the other sororities and fraternities. The ZTA program is being sponsored by Panhellenic and Inter-Fraternity Council. Of the 1127 girls who registered for this spring's sorority rush, 393 have pledged. MUSKET'S additional performance on Friday, Feb. 11, will be held at 7 p.m. instead of at 8:30 p.m. as reported yesterday. The second performance that night will be held at 10 p.m. Long Distance Official at the University of Maine are investigating a pos- sible 100-student cheating incident. All results from a psychology midterm exam taken by 730 students have been voided because some students had advance knowledge of questions. * * * * A 50 per cent saving in the cost of airline tickets for passen- gers from 12 through 21 will go into effect over the next few weeks by the nation's leading airline companies. Known as the "Youth Fare" or "12 to 21 Club," it will offer a cut in price on all domestic flights, except for certain "reserved days" of crowded travel: April 7, Nov. 23 and 27, Dec. 15-24 in 1966, and Jan. 2-4 in 1967.

Defense attorney Ernest Good- man of Detroit will argue that the students are innocent because in- dividuals have the right to use civil disobedience to protest gov- ernment policies they believe to be immoral. i It took, nearly five hours of deliberation yesterday in the court of Judge James R. Breakey Jr. to select a jury of nine women and five men. Two extra jurors were selected to provide alternates in case of illness or emergency. All Hear The case will be heard by all 14 Jurors. When the trial is com- pleted the jurors will draw lots to determine which two will be dropped. The jury was selected from a list of 85 prospective names after close questioning, by both the defense and the county prosecutor. The prospective jurors were ask- ed, for example, if they have any relatives in the armed forces fight- ing in Viet Nam; if they had any opinions on the moral aspect of the war, or on student protestors. Refuse Plea Change One student, Ronald Miller, '68, who originally pleaded guilty and who is one of the 13 University students reclassified 1-A because of the sit-in, was denied his re- quest to consolidate his, case with the 29 now pleading not guilty. Miller changed his plea from guilty to not-guilty Monday in Circuit Court but Judge Breakey refused to allow his case to be heard with the others being de- fended by Goodman. No trial date has been set for Miller's case. Goodman's defense has attract- ed wide attention in legal circles because it invokes precedent es- tablished in the 1946 Nuremburg War Crime Trials. Goodman concedes in his brief that the students did commit "a minor crime of trespassing." Moral Obligation However, he contends that the individual's obligation to protest government policies he finds im- moral gives him the right to par- ticipate in a non-violent protest demonstration. Six other protestors who have pled guilty to charges of trespass- ing have been set for sentencing on Friday. However the court in- dicated yesterday that the sen- By DAVID KNOKE The Architecture and Design College, swelled beyond the capa- city of its 37-year-old building to accommodate all its students, is now at the point of being forced to seek relocation elsewhere or to cut back on the depth of education offered. The A&D art and architecture departments are the only ones in Michigan accredited by the Na- tional Association of Schools cf Art and the American Institute of Architects. Increasing demands for admission to the school have so overcrowded the A&D building that the college's administration has been forced to set an arbitrary ceiling on the numbers of stu- dents annually admitted, accord- ing to Dean Robert Iglehart of the art department. The building, built in 1928-29, MONEY BACK GUARANTEE: 300 Enthusiastic Students Overwhelm 'Free ' originally was planned for 275 architecture students. At present over eight hundred art, architec- ture, and graduate students pur- sue their studies in the building. As a consequence, the A&D school is unable to supply adequate locker space and small studio courses, or set up joint programs of study with the art department of the literary college. Potential efforts such as cinecatographic research and joint art department-Music School operas have gone unreal- ized because of lack of space, according to Iglehart. Class Growth Concerned that class size may grow too bulky for sufficient teacher- student instruction, a fac- ulty committee is studying the feasibility of relocating the A&D in a larger building to be built on land already set aside for that purpose on North Campus. If the University approves a building, the new A&D will rise on a plot above and behind the wind tunnel. Although no architect has been hired and specific monies have not been approved for the construction of the new building as of now, Dean Iglehart foresees the estab- lishment of the A&D in its new location by 1970. Until such a time when plans the number of pre-professional art students enrolled in the A&D leaves no room for transferv literary college students interestedt in majoring in art without pro-. fessional careers in mind.< Commenting on the fact thatf many 'Eastern colleges, such as Dartmouth and Smith have such programs, Iglehart said, "We think it wouldbe a good thing for the campus as a whole. It would dis- tinguish between the professional and the elective students. At pres- ent we have no chance to take students who elect into the art department until all our profes- sional students have registered; by then there are usually no open- ings left." Iglehart feels that such a pro- gram could increase the art de- partment's enrollment from its present 415 up to 1000. Such an integrated program was tried about ten years ago with the history of art department of the literary college giving lectures and the A&D giving complemen- tary studio courses. Within two years the enrollment had jumped from 30 to 300 and overcrowding, that old nemesis, forced the course to be dropped. This was a rare case of a course being too By HELEN KRONENBERG Ann Arbor's newest university which offers no grades, credits , unacceptable to your local draft board and a money-back guar-; antee got underway last night with an enrollment of 300. The school, which lacks an ad- ministration could, "use a little more organization," according to spokesmen (poet) Jerry Badanes. But, he added the school was, "overwhelmed by the ethusiasm," Instructors and students mak-, ing joint decisions on when and where courses will be held. A 1 course in education got underway last night. Most other courses are scheduled on a weekly basis for either Wednesday or Thursday evenings. A heavy demand for art courses has resulted in an expanded cur- riculum of that department. The courses are "Why Study Art," "Why Be an Artist," "What is Art Criticism and Art History," As in most universities the fac- ulty members are underpaid. (They teach for free.) This is ex- pected to keep tuition costs at a minimum. The curriculum for the classes was formed largely by students. University spokesmen anticipate this practice will continue in the event that courses are added. Another Haber The student body of the univer- sity is largely undergraduates, ac- :: : i 1'
