LXXVI, No, 119 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1966 SEVEN CENTS " SIX PAGES SHA Seeks To Improvey Housing Ills Plans To Work With City and University To Devise Solutions By MARSHALL LASSER Student Government Council's Student Housing Association, formed last fall to work for the intverts of Qtudent housing, is now involved in researching the issues and problems of the stu- dent housing situation. The SHA was created in re- sponse to student protests over the low quality, high cost and Inade- quacy of the housing available to students. The group plans to effect im- provements by first thoroughly re- investigating and substantiating their complaints, constructing so- lutions, and bringing them about through the efforts of the Uni- versity and the city. .Higher Quality Aiming for higher quality in private housing, the students want better insulation, soundproofing and plumbing, more study space and safer buildings. Realizing that these needs and others apply mostly to students, they suggest the establishment of a separate city building code fitted to stu- dent market housing. Other research is directed to tabulating prices on private stu- dent housing and checking up on S state and federal aws that affect the situation. SHA would also like the city, working in conjunction with the University, to make revisions in the zoning ordinances that would take into account student wants and needs. So far, the group has made no official contact with the city coun- cil, though they have had private talks with several council mem- bers. At least two council members, including Prof. Robert Weeks, have expressed their willingness to listen to any constructive pro- posals presented by the student organization. They added, though, that the student group-or any group try- ing to prod an elected body into action-would receive the most consideration when it is able to apply political pressure. Thus, since its goals, as they involve the city, will be difficult to achieve without a means of applying pressure, the SHA plans involvement in city politics in a nonpartisan manner by rounding up voting support for their efforts among graduate students. Letters to Students The SHA plans to send out and follow up 13,000 letters to the students, figuring that a voting block of 2,000 will force city of- ficials to pay attention to them. Another SHA approach to the city's area of control involves working with Ann Arbor's Hous- ing Commission to provide low- cost housing. Housing commission members will be ex-officio mem- bers of the SHA executive board. ,HA's work with the University alone will be in two main areas: investigating the right of the Uni- versity to acquire property and to least it to private investors; and establishing a mediation board to hear complaints of both students and realtors. SHA plans to look for possibilities of federal aid to the University through FHA loans and college grants. The SHA's planned relationship with realtors will extend beyond the mediation board; it hopes to publish a rating system of real- tors and a pamphlet of students' legal rights in their dealings with the realtors. The pamphlet would deal with these main points: lease severance, landlord right of entry, the possi- bility of interest on damage de- posits, warning on the non-legal' status of verbal agreements, re- courses open to students on the occasion of building failures, rights in cases of eviction and ob- ligations to sublet if an apart- ment is not up to building codes. 4r firhlgau Bale NEWS WIRE Hotline Vice-President for Business and Finance Wilbur K. Pierpont yesterday signed building contracts for projects totaling nearly $20.7 million. One contract was for the largest single project ever under- taken by the University-a $17.3 million School of Dentistry building. A $3.4 million parking structure with a 944-car capacity has also been contracted.. It will be located adjacent to the dentistry building on Washington St. The new structures will be built in the North University, Fletcher, Huron and Forest block and will constitute the be- ginning of a major redevelopment of the area, Pierpont said. As part of the development, Pierpont indicated that a build- ing complex of a mathematics and computing center, a psy- chology building and additional parking facilities are in the planning stages, with construction times indefinite. Fnancing for the dental building consists of an $11.2 million state appropriation and a $5.6 million federal grant. 'iM * * * Three Democratic representatives yesterday introduced a resolution in the state House of Representatives commending free-speech policies at state universities. The resolution contradicts one passed by the Senate last Fri- day which criticized state schools for allowing Communists to speak on their campuses. Reps. Jack Faxon (D-Detroit), Thomas White (D-Detroit) and Daniel Cooper (D-Oak Park) commended the institutions for their open-door policies toward all speakers no matter what their philosophies may be. ,* * * University President Harlan Hatcher yesterday was named to the United States delegation for the third American-Japan Conference on Education and Cultural Interchange. The con-. ference will be held from March 2-7 in Tokyo. * * * * Burton D. Thuma, associate dean of the literary college and director of the residential college, met Monday with Allan F. Smith, vice-president for academic affairs, and Wilbur K. Pier- pont, vice-president for business and finance, to discuss cost figures for the proposed residential college. Thuma reported the vice-presidents' reactions as "encouraging, though they don't see where the money for the residential college is going to come from." * * * * Prof. Paul G. Kauper of the University's Law School faculty has supported Washtenaw Circuit Judge James R.j Breakey Jr., in his recent sentencing of anti-Viet Nam policy demonstration, but says draft boards are not on solid legal ground in reclassifying student protestors. Kauper quoted in "Res Cestae," the weekly newspaper of the U-M Lawyers Club said. "Although First Amendment freedoms are important they are not an issue in this case since there were other avenues present for protest including picketing, letters to the editor and other forms of expression. "I would suppose a very good argument could be made along lines that the Selective Service System should not be used as a tool for enforcing criminal provision of federal statutes by adding new sanctions not provided for by statute." * The Washtenaw Legal Aid Society has received contributions which will permit it to maintain the present legal aid clinic offices for a "limited time." The society had previously announced that it would be forced to close the offices in downtown Ann Arbor yesterday if it had not received $2,000 in contributions to pay back bills. The board has stressed it would not discontinue the legal aid services if it closed the building. Services would then be funneled through the attorney's private offices. * * * * The National Science Foundation yesterday awarded three grants totaling more than $610,000 to the University. Vice-President for Research A. Geoffrey Norman said all three grants will be used to support a "graduate trainee" program. Graduate students in the program may receive stipends for living expenses and tuition. ** * * Gayl D. Ness, assistant professor of sociology, has been appointed new director of the Center for South and Southeast Asian Studies filling the position left open when Prof. L. A. Peter Gosling was named chairman of the geography department. Ness received his Ph.D. in 1961 from the University of California. From 1961 to 1964 he was a member of the staff of the Institute of Current World Affairs as a research fellow in Malayasia and other areas of Southeast Asia. He was appointed to the University faculty in 1964. Long Distance John Hannah, Michigan State University president, indicated yesterday that Gov. George Romney's 1966-67 budget recom- mendations were $7.5 million short of MSU's request. "Appropria- tions have both lagged behind enrollment increases and have failed to take into account the changing composition of the student body toward more graduate students," he said. -Daily-Thomas R. Copi NEW, IFC OFFICERS MEET The newly elected senior officers of the Interfraternity Council met briefly last night to begin planning the programs IFC will under- take during their administration. Shown above (left to right) are Thomas Weber, '67, treasurer; Douglas Dunn, '67E, executive vice- president; Richard E. Van House, '67E, president; Fred Feldkamp, '68, administrative vice-president; and Dennis McLain, '68, secre- tary. Closer contact between IFC and its member fraternities was emphasized in the discussions. The new administration also plans to review IFC judicial procedure to make it possible to handle cases more efficiently and fairly. A statute book will be prepared to bring fraternities up to date on by-law revisions and legislation. Plans for an academically oriented Greek Week which would include IFC Sing, the fraternity-sorority presidents banquet, a campus-wide community service project and possibly a writer-in-residence or a lec- ture series sponsored by IFC and Panhellenic Association were discussed. Exansionol Planned To Alleviate In te rnational Center'Crowding Fraternities Warned of VD Outbreak Girl Who Frequented Campus Area Has Case of Gonorrhea University Health Service has warned all campus fraternities that a former University coed who has admitted having sexual rela- tions with more than 200 male students has been hospitalized for treatment of a severe case of gonorrhea. The 20-year-old girl reportedly stayed at fraternity houses and rooming houses in the campus area over a period of several months. Health Service has urged all men to seek medical attention if they had relations with the girl. Dr. Otto K. Engelke, director of the Washtenaw County Health Department said his records show four male University students who lived in a rooming house on the southeast side of the campus where the girl last stayed have been treated for gonorrhea. Investigation Dr. Engelke said his department has been investigating the case after having been first notified about the girl about one month ago. The girl left Ann Arbor several weeks ago and is now undergoing treatment in Pennsylvania. Dr. Engelke reported that not all cases of venereal disease are reported to his office. Unless a positive finding of such a disease is made by a physician, a report is not required even though treat- ment for the disease is given. Private Physicians Some students who have become afflicted with gonorrhea have re- portedly gone to private physicians for treatment. Many of these cases have therefore not officially been reported to the County or State Health Department. Dr. Morley B. Beckett, director of Health Service said only seven cases of venereal disease were treated by the service in the past seven months. He said those cases included b o t h gonorrhea and syphilis. 'U' Students "The University student body is remarkably f r e e of venereal disease in view of the resurgence of these diseases across the coun- try," Dr. Beckett said. He said the diseases are coming back for a number of reasons in- cluding a "more conservative" use of penicillin in the treatment of many maladies. The fraternity presidents were originally notified of the case at a meeting of the Fraternity Presi- dents Association last week. Other Cases Unlikely A University. Hospital physician paid yesterday it was highly un- likely that further cases of gonor- rhea brought on by the incident would occur, since the incubation period for the disease is less than two weeks. It has also been reported that some sorority presidents had been contacted about the problem, but those reached by The Daily last night refused to comment. Physicians who have been studying the case have stressed the communicability of the disease and the difficulty in ascertaining when and if an individual has been cured of it. Repeated exam- inations must be conducted to assure a complete cure, since the disappearance of symptoms does not necessarily indicate that the infection has run its course. The principle antidotes for the disease are penicillin and dia- thermy (application of heat).
