LXXVI, No. 135 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, MARCH 11, 1966 SEVEN CENTS TWELVE PAGES Conference May Feature Noted Expert Day-Long Teach-In On Chinese Affairs To Be Held in April By DONNA SIMMONS Sources have indicated that Owen Lattimore, America's great- est expert on China "before the McCarthy era, will come from England to participate in a China teach-in on April 3. The teach-in itself will consist of: " Speeches and discussions on internal China, modern Chinese history and current affairs will compose the afternoon sessions. Later in the afternoon faculty will conduct seminars in Mason Hall on Chinese history and thought. 0 U.S.-Chinese relations will be discussed at night beginning with two speeches, one defending the government's policy and the other criticizing it. Discussions and sem- inars will follow the speeches. A spokesman said the China teach-in will parallel last year's Viet Nam teach-in. He said he hoped this teach-in will act as an impetus to analysis of U.S. policy. Abysmal Ignorance Di Lorenzi felt that America's current policy is allowed because of the overall ignorance of the natures of the questions involved. "The people do not have enough information to challenge the gov- ernment," he said. Di Lorenzi calls our knowledge of China "abysmally deficient" and feels this conference can help supplement it. He felt it might also make people aware of the enormity of the problems in this area so they could become in- terested enough to use the facili- ties the University offers in Asian study. Prof. Anatol Rapoport, of the Mental Health Research Institute, one of the sponsors of the teach- in, feels it will bring to light " . the history, conditions and problems of the country, issues not sufficiently discussed." Rapoport says that while this one conference will probably not have any immediate effect on our policies in Asia, the cumulative w effect of wide discussion and knowledge of the teach-in, could be important. He also felt this teach-in will show the government that there is ". . . a strong and enlightened group of people who do not support the government's Asian policies." Conference Besides faculty from the Univer- sity there will be people from Wayne State University, Michigan State University, Western Michi- gan University, and Eastern Michigan. The people sponsoring the conference are also asking the State Department to send representatives to defend the government's position. From 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. concen- trating on internal China and modern Chinese history, there will be two major speeches on China's modern history, regional relations and current affairs. Later there will be a discussion on China's society, - -- -- _ l e AtS ga aily 'NEWS WIRE Hotline A resolution censuring Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity for "having a party whose theme could be regarded 'in poor taste by a number of members of the community" was passed last night by the Fraternity Presidents' Assembly. Charges had been leveled against DKE fraternity by Nelson Lande, '67, president of Zeta Beta Tau, for holding a "Nazi theme party," complete with swastikas, a band dressed up as Nazis, and a member delivering Hitler's inferno speech, Mark Lippincott, '67, president of DKE, maintained, that the party had an "Iron Cross theme and that there were no purposefully political overtones to the party." He admitted, however, that some members "did get out of hand near the end of the party and that these members were disciplined." Included in the FPA resolution was a statement recognizing that "the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity has subsequently exer- cised proper responsibility in this matter." Michigan Attorney General Frank Kelley will release his legal opinion on Regent Eugene B. Power's business relationship with the University at 9:15 a.m. today in Lansing. His investi- gation into a possible conflict of interest on the part of Regent Power, who is president of University Microfilms Inc. came after a Daily story last Oct. 23. The opinion is expected to provide the definitive answer as to whether or not a conflict of interest situation exists. . . At its- regular meeting last night, Student Government Council moved to support University President Harlan Hatcher's right to express his view on Viet Nam, expressing their dissatis- faction with the criticism leveled at him in a recent Detroit News edtorial for speaking out publicly on government policy. Myra Roper, lecturer in Chinese education at Monash Uni- versity in Melbourne, Australia, will show two movies and present a speech on China today at 4 p.m. in the multi-purpose room of the UGLI. Miss Roper, who is a famous Australian television personality, is considered to be an expert on contemporary China, having visited the country in 1958, 1963 and 1965. The Engineering Council last night passed a resolution supporting the present policy of the Selective Service with regard to deferments of college students. The resolution stated that a random draft selection among college students, as proposed by the literary college faculty, would be detrimental to the national interest because "it com- pletely disregards the principle of efficient use of manpower on which our society is based." University students won more Woodrow Wilson fellowships than any other school except Harvard University, it was an- nounced yesterday. With 39 winners, the University more than doubled the total number of students awarded the fellowships last year. Three winners omitted from yesterday's list in The Daily were: Barry Bluestone, '65; Fred L. Bookstein, '65, and William S. Moran, '66. Long Distance A group of students at Michigan State University have accused the administration and Student Publications Board of "monopoly censorship" for the alleged suppression of several independent student publications. The students claim that it is impossible for any independent student publications to financially and legally exist under the present regulations at MSU. The charges involve an independent newspaper, "The Paper," an independent literary magazine and two student political pub- lications. The Student Publications Board has sole authority over all student publications sold on campus. "The Paper" has managed to exist temporarily through the use of a fund drive permit obtained through the student government, but has been unsuccessful in its attempt to secure sales permission from the administration or the publications board. Daiy-Thomas R. Copt FILM FANS FLOCK TO FLICK FESTIVAL Another sit-in at the local draft board? No. Maybe they're waiting to get tickets to tonight's playoff game at Iowa City? Wrong again. These die-hard film enthusiasts queued up early last night in a line stretching down the corridors of the Architecture Auditorium, awaiting the beginning of the second session of the Fourth Ann' Arbor Creative Arts Festival. Mixed audiences of University students and area residents saw experimental films ranging from camp trivia to serious drama. Among those movies shown were "The Flicker," which was preceeded by the warning that it "might cause epileptic fits for which the producers were not responsible" and which con- sisted of 20 minutes of flickering, blank film.

ONLY COLLEGE STATION: 'U',Research Laboratory Receives Ask Growth Of Tuskegee Exchange Haber, Hays Seek Expanded Student Interest in Program By CAROLE KAPLAN Special To The Daly TUSKEGEE, Ala.-Increased in- terest in enriching the exchange program between the University and . Tuskegee Institute was ex- pressed by both Dean William Haber and Asst. Dean William Hays of the literary college yes- terday during their one-day visit here.. Hays said that a recently formed committee for Tuskegee relation- ships hopes to enlarge both stu- dent and faculty exchanges be- tween the two literary colleges, and Haber said that his "general impression is affirmative" and he feels "this beginning is worth working on further." Tuskegee Institute, a predomi- nately Negro university in south- ern Alabama has been in close co- operation with the University for several years, and this year an exchange program was instituted. Last fall *12 Tuskegee students at- tended the University, and pres- ently there are seven University students at Tuskegee. In addition Prof. Kaufman of the philosophy department is spending the year here as an exchange teacher. Favorable Reaction The seven University students, as well as Kaufman, haveSaid they believe the exchange to be extremely interesting and valuable and are all enjoying their stay here. Haber said that he and Hays came here to "get the feel of the situation" and he expressed his belief that the United States "has an overwhelming obligation to raise the quality of education for Negro youth." He added that a school with a wide range of ex- perience, such as the University, can contribute toward this school. Inerease Participation According to Hays, until re- cently the exchanges have been handled primarily by the Office of Academic Affairs. "Although the literary college has just come into it," he said, "we have felt for sometime that we would like to participate strongly in the pro- gram." Hays continued by saying that a. primary goal of his committee would be to. increase publicity of the literary college and make more regular permanent arrangements for the faculty and student ex- changes. Several of his ideas for the fu- ture are: -To recruit teachers through the -different departments. This would enable the college to dis- cover where teachers are needed so that both Tuskegee and the University could "train advan- tageously." -To inform the literary school counselors about the program. Hays felt that, if the counselors were enthusiastic about this pro- gram, they could interest students in it. -To try to get Tuskegee faculty members to come for the summer session at the University as an alternative to the regular term. Hays said that this would cor- respond to the University's effort to expand the third term, and would not interfere with the reg- ular Tuskegee school year.

Hatcher has just returned from * a six-day conference of U.S. and Japanese education leaders, held in Tokyo. The conference dealt primarily with "the role of univer- sities in developing mutual under- standing between the two nations." The conference recognized that "in modern society the university is the most important single in- stitution for the preservation of our culture;" Hatcher said. "The problem universities face in both countries and the opportunities they have are both great and highly similar. The center has one of this country's most extensive collec- tions of material on Japan, he said. One of the great barriers between the two nations is the lack of materials and the lack of translations of documents and lit- erature of each country availaple to the other. Lack of Information . Many documents are in the hands of collectors and not scho- lars, and the universities should be able to find and microfilm many of these. The university presses should be able to turn out translations of Japanese works, he added. "Superficiality" of personal con- tacts is another reason for lack of accord between the two na- tions. In a communique which Hatcher helped draw up, the con- ference participants concluded flight fares for students, using the same half-fare system now in ef- fect for domestic U.S. flights. Hatcher said one of Japan's ma- jor problems is the lack of open- ings for qualified students in its universities. He felt the shortage of space is due to the fact the Japanese lack the American con- ception of mass university educa- tion. They are beginning to change their feelings, Hatcher said. The conference also recommend- ed that American and Japanese committees on cultural and edu- cational cooperation be created to. "review, explore and facilitate joint programs for the exchange of information, st u d e n ts and teaching." Viet Nam Attitudes Hatcher said when he spoke with Japanese educators about Viet Nam that three major points since Japan is bound by treaty to the U.S., clearly anything that deeply involves the U.S. in Asia also involves Japan." After the second world war, Japan renounced war, and the creation of Japanese armies was outlawed. Article 9 of Japan's con- stitution declares that war is an unexpurgated evil. That was part of America's contrib.ution to Ja- pan's reconstruction, Hatcher said. Today, the people have difficulty reconciling that Article 9 with the Viet Nam war. Kennedy Idea The conference, officially called the Third U.S.-Japan Conference on Cultural and Educational In- terchange, a biannual meeting that alternates between the two countries, grew out of an idea espoused by the late President John Kennedy and the late Pre- By MARTHA WOLFGANG The Constitutional Revisions Committee of the state House of Representatives has been unable to come to a decision on the 18- year-old-vote bill. The bill's sup- porters hope to place the proposal on the ballot in the Novemberj elections. The bill has been subject of much debate in recent weeks and has received the support of many tUniversity groups. Young Demo- crats and Young Republicans from the University made a presenta- tion at the committee's hearing in Detroit early last month. The committee's six-member Democra- tic majority planned to approve the bill at the Detroit hearing. Absences among the committee members, however, made this im- possible. Daisy Elliott (D-Det), commit- tee chairman said yesterday she expects the bill to be released from committee some time next' week. It has been passed in the Sen- ate, but was defeated in the House last year. General Referendum Mrs. Elliott felt enough repre- sentatives have now agreed to pledge their vote for the proposal, thus allowing it to be placed on the November ballot. They con- cede that the voters should have New Dental School To Change Presenut Educational Approach cited the record of 18-year-olds in the Peace Corps as ample proof of their qualifications. He said that the 18-year-old vote was a logical step in extending the sufferage. The bill is not expected to have a great political effect. It repre- sents an increase in the electorate of only 280,000 votes. It would make Michigan the fourth state to grant the vote to citizens under 21 years of age. Many have regarded this as a progressive action, following what seems to be a movement to extend the electorate to more citizens. If the bill is passed and placed on the ballot in November a mas- sive education campaign will be needed to muster the public sup- port to pass the proposal. Mrs. Elliott predicted a favorable public response. By J. RUSSELL GAINES Seventeen million dollars will be required to implement the con- struction of- the new University dental school, scheduled for com- pletion at the beginning of 1970. Plans for the new dental school include a revised curriculum, a possible alternative to the semes- ter system, greater individual in- struction through the use of auto- mated carrels, an enlarged library, an experimental laboratory and classroom for research in dental education techniques, and a sys- tem of closed circuit television. The money for tlie dental school instruction changes planned for the new school and aimed at pro-' viding the student with a more in- dividualized educational experi- ence. Curriculum Revision A curriculum committee is cur- rently studying the present se- quence and content of courses. One objective of their study is to integrate more closely the two basic areas of a dental student's work; the basic sciences and clin- ical practice. At present the dental student studies basic science for his fresh- man and sophomore years and clinical practice in his junior and senior years. A plan is now being prototype was developed by the Center for Research on Learning and Teaching, there will be a slide projector which is fed by a film cartridge.. These carrels will be in the library for use by the stu- dents, and the cartridges will be indexed in the library for easy access. Expanded Library The library in the new school will be expanded to accommodate 53,000 volumes, as compared to the 24,000 volumes in the present library. It is anticipated that the dental school will be purchasing new copies of books already on the shelves to accommodate the growth no the student hod.
