LXXVI, No. 141 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, MARCH 18, 1966 SEVEN CENTS TEN PAGES The New Conservative: Quiet Man on Campus By MARTHA WOLFGANG News Analysis The new student rebel, repre- sentative of the new left, has made himself a well-known figure on the campus. He has received national recognition, and through such actions as the teach-in and sit-in has received voluminous publicity. Yet, the conservative student, the balance on the other side, has become a quiet and little-known force. Instead of receiving pub- licity, he has become increasingly hard to find. Except among themselves, con- servatives seem to shun campus discussions on their viewpoint. Oc- casionally a conservative may be seen giving out books on the Diag, mailing or peddling an occasional pamphlet. He cannot compare in pure volume to his counterparts on the other side of the political spec- trum. This inactivity may be account- ed for by the fact that many con- servative students see themselves as individualists who act and think on their own, not as products of social forces. They prefer to keep many of their ideas to them- selves rather than congregate in groups to vocalize their feelings.-. This view is backed by a study of ultra-conservatives made by former University Prof. Richard Schmuck of the psychology de- partment. "Seldom do these people seek out right-wing groups themselves. Rather, they are sought out by a conservative organization. The group capitalizes on some factor in their personality, some circum- stance, or some opinion to convert these people to extremism." The membership figures of a leftist campus group, and one on the right back up this theory. YAF claims a membership of 30 while VOICE claims its member- ship numbers 150. The backgrounds of most con- servative students seem to be rather similar. According to War- ren Van Egmond, '68, president of Young Americans for Free- dom, a group known for its right- wing activities, "most of the con- servative students are highly mor- alistic people from a small-town environment." Van Egmond points out that one of the main concerns of his group is the decline in moral values. He sees a rapidly changing moral structure as leading to the dra- matic increase in crime in our country. He attributes this in- crease to a breakdown in the "strictness of the American family structure." Researchers who have investi- gated this idea of loss of cohesion in family structure have found that the extremist, on both sides of the political spectrum, typically comes from a harsh, punitive, non- permissive family in which he is not permitted to show resentment or hostility. Having repressed hos- tility, he may become anxious and uncertain in unclear situations and may tend to be a black-and-white thinker. The real concerns of campus conservatives seem to parallel the basic tenets of the nationwide con- servative political resurgence. Con- are against extended federal con- trol and fear misuse of federal power. They are ardently opposed to any power expansion by the Soviet Union and other Commu- nist countries and fear conciliatory moves toward any of these coun- tries. "One aim of all conservatives is opposing Communism," Van Eg- mond says. "But the difference be- tween YAF and the over-publiciz- ed John Birch Society is that the Birchers feel all Communism is a serious threat which results from an internial conspiracy. YAF's feel this is a big problem but are not ready to give a sim- ple explanation for such a com- plex problem." Tom Anderson, president of the Libertarian League, felt that such anti-Communist statements are attracting many to the conserva- tive movement as represented by YAF. His group is conservative only in their belief in laissez-faire economics. "These groups are picking up support because of Viet Nam. Peo- ple are developing an unreasoned patriotism which causes them to ride on the coattails of YAF's ar- dent patriotism," Anderson says. Campus. conservatives seem to have special scorn for their liberal counterparts. The Free Society As- sociation, another highly conserva- tive group, has published a pam- phlet "Protest" describing the stu- dent rebel. They begin their book- let with a picture of a jeering rebel looking unshaven and long- haired. They describe these rebels as "student dropouts, and campus hangers-on," and voice scorn for the motives of the student left. "They feel any tactic is a good tactic if it creates maximum sen- sation, disturbance, or just plain noise. Civil disobedience has be- come a tactic leading towards full- scale revolution," the pamphlet says. Special venom is reserved for teach-ins. They are described as "all night marathons by non-ex- perts. The new left leaders pre- fer one-sided indoctrination ses- sions to more or less objective de- bate." Whether antagonistic, silent, or extremist, the conservatives are still a force on campus. Though the disasters of the 1964 elections have caused them to revamp their organizations and re-articulate their goals, they have not lost their fervor. Underneath their vo- ciferous accusations they present many basic questions which as yet remain unanswered. servative groups state that they Committee Asks NDEA Restoration President Rebuffed; Full $190 Million Appropriation Sought By STEVE WILDSTROM A House Education subcommit- tee yesterday unanimously reject- ed President Lyndon Johnson's proposal that funds for National Defense Education Act loans be slashed by $40 million. In recommending that the full $190 million originally proposed for NDEA be appropriated, the subcommittee also threw out a section of the Administration bill which would have made loans available only when a college proved that it could not obtain loan funds for its students from private or state sources $190 million had originally been proposed for NDEA for the 1967 fiscal year which begins July 1. President Johnson in his January budget message proposed that NDEA be eliminated entirely for the coming year in favor of a new program of federally-sponsored private loans. This proposal met with vigorous oppositin from uni- versity loan administrators, who felt that private lenders would not be willing to participate, and from members of Congress. President Retreats On March 1, the President re- treated from his earlier position and proposed in a message to Congress that NDEA be partially restored for upcoming year with the phase-out delayed until the 1968 fiscal year. That same day, Rep. Adam Clayton Powell (D-NY) submitted a bill that would restore $150 mi- lion to the NDEA program. In addition to the fund cut, the Powell bill made several changes in the program that nas operated since 1958: =Students would be "encour- aged" to seek loans from sources other than NDEA; -The federal Commissioner of Education would be' authorized to call in any promissory notes held by schools for NDEA loans, with the university acting only as the agent of the government in col- lecting on .the notes. In the past. schools participating in the NDEA program held their own notes and used repayments for new loans; and -After Sept. 30, 1966, 90 per cent of all NDEA repayments would have to be turned over to the Office of Education. The 10 per cent put up by the school as matching funds would be retained by the colleges. The original date under the NDEA amendments of 1965 for universities to begin turn- ing over repayments to Washing- ton had been 1969. The University anticipates approximately $115,000 in repayments for the coming year. Changes Unclear It was not immediately clear which, if any, of these changes had been affected by the subcommittee. Rep. Edith Green (D-Ore), chairman of the education sub- committee, said that the motion passed expresses determination "to continue the present student loan program at it has been in the past for the next fiscal year."

Gaylord of the English department announced recently. They are Evelyn Falkenstein, '65; Stanley A. Kaplowitz, '68; Kenneth L. Verosub, '65; and George Abbott White, '65. Gaylord, who is the liaison officer at the University for the Danforth Foundation, said that the scholarships are awarded on the basis of scholarship, strong commitment to college teach- ing, and an interest in the development and values of the college student. The Danforth Foundation was founded by William H. Dan- forth, a former chairman of the board of the Ralston-Purina Co., and defines itself as "an educational foundation interested in religion." It awarded 120 Danforth fellowships this year to stu- dents across the nation. The fellowships pay graduate school tuition and are renewable up to a maximum of four years, with additional amounts available for married students and dependents. NEW GLASGOW, N.S.

Council Asks To See Draft Before Funds To Be Appropriated j By SUSAN SCHNEPP Student Government C o u n c i 1 moved last night to postpone a $400 appropriation to the Student Housing Association f o r the printing costs of its legal pamph- let titled "Students, Leases, Land- lords." The pamphlet, a joint project of SGC and SHA, represents the first major effort on the part of SGC to inform the student body as to their general legal rights in the area of leasee-lessor relation- ships. Five thousand copies of the 12 page pamphlet, which was sched- uled to go to the printers today, were to have been distributed on campus the last week of March. See Book First Council member Steve Schwartz, '68, objected to the motion to grant the funds on the grounds that none of the Council members had seen a draft of the pamphlet, and so had not had an opportunity to see whether it "is approaching all the questions we want it to approach." He felt that there may be an overlap between it and the Off Campus Housing booklet pre- pared by the University. SGC presidential candidate Ed Robinson, '67, stated that he "voted to postpone so that we could see the exact copy, check it for ambiquities which would hit us as laymen perhaps more than it would a lawyer, and then okay the expenditure for a booklet which is necessary and worth- while."' Conflicting Opinions Bod Bodkin, '67E, and Neill Hol- lenshead, '67, SGC presidential and vice-presidential candidates,, issued a joint statement saying that "we are disappointed that certain members, by voting for postponement, would not accept the compromise proposal presented by the president of SOC. SGC President Gary Cunning- ham, '66, had earlier proposed an amendment to the motion stating that the funds be appropriated after presidential review of the motion. . -Daily-Thomas R.

Computers To Do Routine: Allow Man Higher Study Set Up Plans On Viet Nam Protest Days Unauthorized VOICE Rally Held on Diag; Violates Regents Rule By BETTY KRAUSE Campus Viet Nam protests drew public attention twice yesterday, as the Ann Arbor Viet Nam Day Committee finalized plans' for Its participation in the International Days of Protest March 25-26 and Voice Political Party held an un- authorized noon rally on the Diag. At a mass meeting last night, the Viet Nam committee decided to: -Hold a Diag rally on March 25, at which faculty and students will speak on the United States' involvement in Viet Nam, general foreign policy, the war's effect on the people at home and the over- all impact of the worldwide pro- test movement. --March from the rally to the Ann Arbor draft board where pro- testors will picket, distribute leaf- lets, and present their reasons for protest on paper to the officials there; -Go to Detroit March 26 to participate in the Protest Days march and picketing of the "Jef- ferson-Jackson Day Dinner at Co- bo Hall,'and -Carry on a program of general education on the Viet Nam situa- tion which will include a group of the committee members answering individual questions on the Diag March 25. A sympathy vigil will be held by the Women for Peace in an un- determined public place for those students and citizens unable to at- tend the march in Detroit. The earlier Voice rally was not ai.horized as usual by the Office of Student Affairs because Voice officials refused tc. sign a state- ment saying they wouild Inform their guest speakers tha a %eents bylaw forbids any speaker to ad- vocate violation of state or fed- eral law. Heretofore, a Voice spokesman said, Voice has been permitted to attach a rider to the statement to indicate that it con- siders the provision unconstitu- tional and will therefore tell the speaker to ignore it. However, this time J. Duncan Sells, director of student organiza- tions, ruled that the rider does not conform to the intent of the Regents' bylaw. Although the OSA made no attempt to prevent the rally, Sells sent a memo to Stu- dent Government Council last night pointing out Voice's viola- tion of University rules. By AARON DWORIN The application of technology in solving social problems will al- low man to study the complex intellectual aspects of our society while relegating the routine work to computers, Simon Ramo, in- dustrialist, scientist and educator, said yesterday at the annual en- gineering college honors convoca- tion. Ramo who spoke on "The Com- ing Technological Society" was afterwards awarded an honorary Doctor of Engineering degree by University President H a r 1 a n Hatcher. In his speech, Ramo emphasized that the world is becoming in- creasingly fast-paced, complex and interacting, and it "urgently requires solutions to the problems of its physical operations of pro- duction, communication, transpor- tation and resources control and distribution." PROSPERITY AND MONEY: Economic Problem: .Cure for Inflation Could Involve. Halt to High Employment However, Ramo stressed that "a match between the need for solu- tions and the ability to formulate solutions exists, so science and so- ciety" will progress together and enjoy the benefits that technology can bring. Society's social maturation to technical advances will require three changes. -The average citizen has to be- come more sophisticated in certain aspects of science and technology. -The citizenry must be aware', of exactly where the imbalances between technological and socio- logical progress exist. -A professional group of tech- no-sociologists must equate social needs and desires with technical progress. Technological Fallacies Ramo then analyzed some of the misconceptions that current so- ciety has with regards to a tech- nological future. The "computer will replace man" fallacy is a strik- ing' example of a major miscon- ception. Ramo said that the com- puter will simply "extend the brain power of man," but not control him. He feels the great miscon- ception lies in viewing the compu- ter as a competitor, rather than a partner of man. Another fallacious notion that Rama attacked was that self ini- tiative and free enterprise will die away. However, Ramo felt that a new kind of free enterprise will result, with consumers having a wider range and freedom of choice than ever before. All consumers will have to do to indicate their desire for a par- ticular product will be to "sign with their thumbprint" upon see- ing the product advertised on two- way television or use their tele- phone to dial in their requests. Not All Mechanized Ramo does not foresee in the future a totally mechanized so- ciety with moving sidewalks which many have forecasted. The costs of kIiIA_". _r m- iv in nm- 11- 1 ~ will ensue. will be a "golden era where science and technology will be used for the good of man."

Students To Elect Delegates To 19th USNSA Congress. By MARSHALL LASSER "At our level, inflation is mainly a problem for rich people," Prof. Daniel B. Suits of the economics department said of the most talk- ed stumbling block confronting the U.S. economy. He said, during a recent inter- view, that at this point the thrust of efforts to combat inflation would be to "halt the present trend toward a high level of em- ployment"-trading "a rich man's or college professor's comfort for the unemployed's well being." pool of unemployed, and workers sticking with the jobs they have, wage increases are small. In pros- perous times, with the pool of unemployed small and workers more willing to quit jobs in search of a better one, employers are forced to bid higher for labor. The cost of producing goes up, and so does the price. Thus "with high unemployment, wages and prices rise slowly; as the level of unemployment falls, wages and prices rise more rapidly." But "the cure of one problem, i.n -nl--manf --n-ac ilh nfbo there is eight per cent unemploy-, ment. While at the eight per cent level, 30-40 per cent of the labor force experiences unemployment at some time of the year, and-par- ticular segments are very hard hit. For example, at that level a majority of the teen Negro labor force in Detroit is out of work. Suits said that the people hit by unemployment are largely inarti- culate, and thus you do not hear their complaints. Inflation does hurt some "little people," those who are retired and those on fixed inrna hi,. rasr nr- ad in is a definite possibility. "But sub- stantial tax increases, or other anti-inflationary measures would, in my opinion, be a premature in- terruption of our progress in re- ducing unemployment. It is an attempt to protect the buying power of a college professor's in- come at the cost of a worker's job." Asked about the direction of in- flation if the war in Viet Nam intensifies, he answered "increas- ing the amount of manpower and resources devoted to the war would of course, tend to push us beyond .. . t._. 11 _ «. a.
