SOME ALUMNI GROUPS ARE disturbed by University Presi- dent Harlan Hatcher's recent statement criticizing aspects of United States policy in Viet Nam, a University regional director reported yesterday. Jonathan Slott, field director for University-alumni relations in 10 states ranging from Ohio westward to New Mexico, also indicated that some alumni may be reluctant to contribute to the University's $55 million fund-raising drive because of the state- ment. He indicated that he has received warnings that he may run into sharp questioning on Hatcher's statement when he speaks to an 'M' club gathering in Dayton, Ohio, tonight. The Wright-Patterson military base is located near Dayton. Slott said some opposition may be encountered among military officers who plan to'attend the function.; Hatcher, in a statement to The Daily last month said he found it "very hard to find convincing evidence for our current policy in Viet Nam. We have to hope that our leaders who have all the information are leading us on the right course." PEACE CORPS DIRECTOR Jack Hood Vaughn said yester- day he does not want corps service to become a mere substitute for military service. "We shall not fear to invite 'protestors,' for what is the : ' Peace Corps idea, if not a form of serviceable protest in behalf of human beings for whom protest has yet to be of any service at all," he told an audience at the University of California at Los Angeles. * * N "ECONOMIC ARTHRITIS" MAY be caused by federal wage- price guidelines, said Prof. Paul W.

A PROGRAM DESIGNED to assist secondary school teachers to prepare for the teaching of music has been authorized by the U.S. Office of Education. Five fellowships per year will be awarded in the graduate school to give attention to special problems facing music studies in secondary schools. The stipend will consist of $4,000 plus allowances. The applicant must be nominated by the school in which he is employed and must satisfy requirements for admission to the U-M graduate School of Music. K N x THE NATIONAL CHAIRMAN of the DuBois Clubs of America denied recently that the socialist youth group is a Communist front organization. U.S. Attorney General Nicholas D, Katzenbach asked the Subversive Activities Control Board on March 4 to declare the DuBois Clubs a "communist" front group under the McCarren Act. Hugh Fowler, who was in Detroit Saturday to meet with members of the Wayne State University DuBois Club, admitted that some Communists belong to the organization. But Fowler,' a 21-year-old graduate of the University of California, insisted the organization is not Communist dominated. Fowler accused Katzenbach of attempting to silence the group because it is opposed to the war in Viet Nam. Students Mav Be Delayed, Enlistment Increases Seen as Limiting Monthly Draft Calls A Selective Service official says that drafting of college students may not be necessary because of the recent high rate in volunteer enlistments, United Press Inter- national reported yesterday. Army figur.es show that Feb- ruary enlistments totaled 20,900, almost 2,000 above January's 10- year record high of 19,000. Before President Johnson announced the military buildup for the Viet Nam war last summer, only 9,000 to 11,000 men were volunteering for army service each month. Lt. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, di- rector of the Selective Service System, declined to specifically predict whether any' college stu- dents would be drafted but did confirm the large enlistment in- crease. Easing Pressures Hershey told The Daily last night that "draft pressures would ease" as long as voluntary enlist- ments continued at a high level. However, he noted that whenever draft calls begin to decline, en- listment totals also begin to drop. Thus, a point would come at which it would become necessary to increase draft calls once again in order to meet armed forces plans for a 350,000-man expansion in total strength by next summer. The upsurge in enlistments has been reflected in lower draft calls. High enlistment figures caused the Defense Department to cut its draft quota for this month from 32,900 to 22,400. Hershey said he foresaw monthly draft calls re- maining near the 20,000 level for some time "unless enlistment rates fall off drastically." Low April Call Last week the Defense Depart- ment issued an April draft call for 21,700 men, the lowest total since last September. Despite the upward trend in en- listments, there are no plans to cancel the announced series of deferment tests for college stu- dents. These tests are scheduled to begin in mid-May. A Selective Service spokesman said if it becomes unnecessary to draft college students the test re- sults will be kept on file by local draft boards to determine who goes first if college draftees are needed at some time in the more distant future. Hershey also said he had sus- pended a New Orleans local draft board member on the basis of newspaper reports that the man had been active in the Ku Klux Klan. Hershey identified the member as Jack M. Helm. He said the suspension was for 30 days pend- ing an appeal. If no appeal is filed, he said, Helm will be re- moved permanently. lunteers Other requirements stipulate that you be a citizen of the United States, or a permanent resident of it. Married couples can join VISTA, though they can not have dependents under 18 years old. As most of the VISTA work is done with English speaking people, there is no language requirement. A plan presently under consid- eration would allow college stu- dents to work for VISTA, while remaining students. They could work for four months, perhaps in the summer, though any four month peifod would suffice.

Presidential Candidates Debut ProUper Extet of SGC Action Letter Speculation' On Retaining Regent Ends Governor Says Board Lacks Authority To Take Action in Matter By MARK LEVIN Gov. George Romney yesterday accepted the resignation of Eugene Power from the Board of Regents, thus ending speculation that Power might be persuaded to change his mind and resolve his conflict of interest. Romney said the Board of Re- gents have no authority to con- sider the matter. Twenty four hours earlier Romney had told a press conference that he would wait and see what actions the Regents would take before detern- ing any definite course of action. Romney received Power's letter of resignation yesterday, thus ful- filling state ~ statutory require- ments pertaining to procedure of resignation for state elected of- ficials. Questions had previously been raised as to the validity of acock the resignation, since it was orig- bin- nally submitted to University in- Secretary Erich Walter and not tions the Governor rard The Governor said he had checked the law and found that such a resignation goes to the fe Governor and not the Board of Regents. "It's not a matter for the board to consider," said Romney. The Governor said he would take steps to appoint a new regent "rather promptly." The new mem- ber, presumably a Republican, will not run for election until 1972.

By PAT O'DONOHUE Last night's debate between Student Government Council pres- idential candidates Edward Rob- inson, '67, and Robert Bodkin, '67E, centered around the type of issues SGC should act on. Speaking before a small turn- out, Badkin said SGC should act in areas where the student can derive "immediate benefits." He felt such matters as the resigna- tion of a Regent and the draft should not be dealt with by SGC.

BENDELOW VISTA is again recruiting on campus as, part of its yearly drive for volunteers. It will be here through Friday in the Union and the SAB. In its existence of little more than a year, VISTA, Volunteers In Service To America, has ex- panded into an organization with 1678 volunteers in the field, and another 395 in training. Past recruitment at the Univer- sity has done fairly well, said Arch Parsons, a spokesman for VISTA. 'Domestic' Corps the country, and when off the job,' be rather free from official re- straints. For example, Parson not- ed that volunteers are free to par- ticipate as individuals in any pro- ject that they wish. Also, volun- teers are assigned as individuals. Thus, Negroes have been placed on Indian reservations, migrant worker camps, and in a number of Southern areas. Parsons said that one of the dif- ficulties confronting the volun- teer is "a hostility in differing cul- tures, such as Appalachia and In- dian reservations." He noted that in these areas, the volunteers are attend classes-about 100 a year1 find themselves in the American hospital with critical mental dis- turbances. An undetermined num- ber of others escape attention. The typical patient is the child of an upper middle class family,1 who originally planned to study, but found life in a new culture; situation a shock. Escape Abroad "Some students go abroad to escape," observed M. Robert Klin- ger, acting director of the Inter-' national Center and a counselor there for 25 years. "They are escaping from all sorts of situa- tions. Some can't conform to the social system, while others are4 escaping from their own psychotic personalities.- "Scholarship programs generally< weed out the escapees, with the , "The world must face the fact that people are travelling more and can get sick anywh.ere," com- mented Dr. Donald Schaefer, psy- chiatrist at the Mental Health Clinic of Health Service." In France, for example, the French should make provisions to care for the mentally ill, just as we help foreign students here at Health Service. "The language barrier further complicates the problem. However, the problem is not great here, as most of the foreign students can speak English quite well. "Half a dozen languages are spoken among the doctors at Health Service, and I can contact the Michigan Society of Neurol- ogists and Psychiatrists, which has a panel that collectively speaks. 20 languages." The counselling section of the International Center usually tries to solve the problems of foreign! students here before they become of the scope to need therapy at the Mental Health Clinic.

Here, only one foreign student a year has a critical men- tal problem sufficient to interrupt his study-that is, requiring that he be hospitalized or sent home."
