WHY WE SHOULDN'T LEAVE VIET NAM See Editorial Page jL Sir 7Ia itii SNOW High- 12 Low-- - Cloudy intermittent flurries Seventy-Five Years of Editorial Freedom VOL. LXXVI, No. 105 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SUNDAY, JANUARY 30, 1966 SEVEN CENTS THIRTY-TWO PAGES Prospects Favorable for Joint Housing Assembly By ROBERT BENDELOW "I like the idea of the merger, but I think that it may fail as psoposed." "I feel that the coun- cil of house presidents would not work." "The voting is equal on the council, with 26 men's houses and 26 women's, but there are more women than men." These are the opinions of the proposed mer- ger of Interquadrangle Council and Assembly Association Into Inter-House Assembly. Rather, these are the opinions of those who ventured an opinion on the matter. These are the opinions of those people who knew something about the merger. Most, by their own admission, were either "uninformed," or "not in- terested, so I can't say anything." One person said that the Markley Council, spending "very little, al- most no, time on it" considered the" whole thing a farce." But generally, that gental bliss known as ignorance was the re- action from house presidents to questions by The Daily on the merger. The house presidents will meet soon to act on the proposal. What are the chances for the formation of IHA? Good, it would seem. Most people were for the merger; but differed on the form it should take. The different views on the structure of IHA ranged from a view that it should be composed of two parts, one part of which governed the women dorms,. and the other the men's; and the parent organization which would take care of matters such as confronting the administration. But basically, the discussion seems to be concerned with the fine points of structure of the organi- zation. Most people agree on the general aspects of IHA, but differ on the specifics. Two similar, but somewhat dif- fering constitutions have been drawn up. One of these is the re- sult of a joint Assembly-IQC com- mittee to do just that. The other is the effort of a member of IQC, Dave Smith. His version changes parts of the committee's written document, but otherwise is the same. The changes are causing the debate, and the worries. It ap- pears that a sufficient number of house presidents prefer the Smith plan over the committee version. The Smith plan allows for a more powerful and functional legisla- tive branch of IHA. Another matter debated by those concerned revolves on the concept of the "associate member." This term is used to designate a non- resident, house member (i.e. a person living outside the dorm system, but voted in as a member of a house). Assembly has had a' tradition of associate membership. It started when Ann Arbor women' attended classes, but lived at home. To introduce these people into the social swing of things, the dorms took them under their care with this system. Thus they were en- titled to attend mixers, TG's, etc., as house members, though they did not live in a dorm. Interquad- rangle Council has never had such a system. Though some IQC mem- bers seem to vaguely recall such a time, all agree that it never was of much concern. It is now. Lee Hornberger, IQC president, is trying to have the associate membership clause removed from the constitution. He feels that for a person to become an officer of a housing unit government, that person should be living in a hous- ing unit "immersed in the life theyj are the spokesman for." (That an associate member could become president of IHA is possible, as the constitutions regard associate members the equal of regular members in all respects. The pres- ident of Assembly is an associate member of a house.) Georgia Berland, president of Assembly, however feels that the tradition is helpful and not harm- ful, and that there is no good rea- son to stop it. The question was put to the Residence Hall Board of Gover- nors who "advised that the asso- ciate member clause be deleted" from the constitution. The presi- dents assembly could include it in the final plan, however, if they so wish. But any final draft must still be approved by the board of governors. It would seem that the final form of the constitution would in both instances have a presidents council, composed of the presi- dents of the various housing units, plus representatives for houses which are oversize. (The two plans differ in the manner and number of these extra representatives.) Both plans would form an execu- tive board. This would consist of a president, several executive offi- cers, and the heads of seven standing committees. Smith's plan would form a third body, the coun- cil. The president would head this, and have the remainder of the executive board as non-voting members, along with a suitable (small) - nulnber of elected repre- sentatives. This body would share legislative duties with the assem- bly. The reasoning, as explained by Smith is: "We are convinced that the 68 member president's assembly is totally unworkable as a weekly meeting body" (as the committee's plan would require it to be). Thus, he reasons, a smaller body is needed to do the debat- ing; a body limited in size so that it can meet regularily and effi- ciently. It would be required to answer to the president's assembly. Smith notes that the size of the assembly would be increased by 15 houses in the next three years as Bursley and Cedar Bend I and II are completed and integrated into the system. Smith's plan also allows for a separate judiciary. The committee document would utilize the execu- tive committee in such a position. This is similar -to the manner in which Interfraternity Council con- ducts its business. There could be an appeal to the assembly. There is opposition growing to the constitution as written by the joint committee. This seems to be the only evident source, or reason of, or for, opposition. The merger seems to have the support to be effected. It is under which plan that is the question. There are house presidents favoring Smith's constitution. There is at least an equal number, more likely a larger number, favoring the committee plan. Many house presidents have not yet studied the two plans. Final action will be taken at the house president's meeting Monday. What's New At 764-1817 Hotline The University, according to William Lavine of the Inter- national Center, is participating in a program of providing an opportunity for granting seniors and graduate students one year of study in a German University. For each University student studying in Germany on this program, a German student is granted a scholarship to study here. All applicants must be 20 and 30 years of age and have a strong proficiency of the German language. ** * 4 The Defense Department's call for 32,900 men from the Selective Service System for March was up from the previous February call, but was below the 38,280 man call of January as well as the 42,000 December quota. The March call specified 27,900 men for the Army and 5,000 for the Marine Corps. There were no requests from either the Navy or Air Force. * . * * Prof. Gerald F. Else, chairman of the University department of classical studies, has been appointed by President Johnson to the National Council of the Humanities. He was one of 26 persons appointed to the council which was created by federal law in 1965. His term will expire in 1967. Two members of the state department of conservation, its director, Aalph A. MacMullen, and chief of research David H. Jenkins, have been named research associates in the school of natural resources. The officials, both alumni of the University, will serve ad- visory capacities, giving assistance to students doing advanced studies and serving on doctoral committees. Long Distance The University of Miami has voided the results of a final examination that was stolen from a professor's office by a single student and sold to others. Dr. Armin H. Gropp, vice-president for academic affairs, said the 1,600 students who took the exam will not be required to take another. Instead, the dean's council has ruled that semester grades in the natural science course will be based on previous exam grades. * * * * Colleges and universities in Pennsylvania have formed an organization to help needy students in that state get a higher education. The group, called College-Bound Corporation, will request a $2.5 million federal grant to establish an initial pro- gram for 750 students. Under the system, promising students as early as the eighth grade will be given counseling and remedial help in preparation for college. Tuition costs of up to $600 and living expenses of up to $800 per year would be 'extended to students in the program according to personal need. W iretra p Informed sources indicated last night that the Professional Theatre Program is negotiating with ACT, currently performing here, for a fall return as the University's repertory company. ACT will be leaving in several weeks for Phoenix, Arizona. Morse Asks Senate To Weaken President's Viet Nam Authority Cinema II To Premiere This Week Initial Attendance Seen as Key Factor In Project's Future By JANE DREYFUSS Auditorium A will become a mo- vie theatre - this coming Friday and Saturday nights as Cinema II marks its premiere performance with the showing of "Lilies of the Field." William Clark, '68, founder of the fledgling theatre, said that he hopes that the the- atre will be able to show "David and Lisa" the following week but he emphasized that whether there would even be a second weekend performance depended upon ini- tial student interest. Cinema Guild was first consid- ering expansion last year when students protested the Butterfield Theatre price hike, Clark said. "SGC made some moves to es- tablish what we have, in effect, presented them with now." The Cinema Guild, however, seems doubtful whether Cinema II will be successful. At their last board meeting Hugh Holland of Cinema Guild mentioned both the ginancial and technical aspects of the venture. Limited Budget Quality films generally rent for $300-500, and Cinema II is cur- rently operating on a limited budget of $400. "This is why stu- dent interest during our first two weeks of operation is so vital to our program's future," Clark add- ed. "We believe that we have solv- el add of'our organizational prob- lems," Clark said. "Technically, we are ready to proceed. Approx- imately 20 people have contribut- ed financially to the establishment of this program.
