Nationwide
War Protests
Beginning
Ann Arbor Activists
Plan March in Detroit,
Draft Board Picket
In Ann Arbor and across the
nation this morning, the Interna-
tional Days of Protest have start-
ed. Centering around a demand
for the immediate withdrawal of
United States, troops from Viet
Nam, they will feature discussions
rallies, picketing and marches in
major cities.
It is estimated that over 100,000
people will be involved in 200
cities and over 15 countries. 30,-
000 are expected to march in New
York City alone. m
As in Ann Arbor, many of the
protests will be directed against
the Selective Service as "the rep-
resentative of the American war
machine," in the words of a mem-
ber of the steering committee
which formulated the campus ac-
tivists' plans.
Activities Planned
The Days of Protest will begin
in Ann Arbor at 9 this morning
with a vigil on the Diag. At noon
a rally will be held, at which time
10 to 15 University students plan
#t to leave on a march to Detroit.
They will join up with the march-
ers in Detroit Saturday afternoon.
Later Friday afternoon the pro-
testors will picket the Ann Arbor
draft board. They will go into the
board office in groups to deposit
as individuals, signed protests
4J against the war.
Friday evening a Viet Nam open
house will be held in the Union.
Picket Democrats
The main event, a march down
Woodward Ave. in Detroit, will
start at four o'clock Saturday aft-
ernoon. The march is being orga-
nized by the Detroit Committee to
End the War in Viet Nam, which
is aiming for about 2000 partici-
pants.
The march will be followed by a
rally on Campus Martius, where 2
number of speakers will address
the marchers. This will be followed
in turn by the picketing Saturday
night of the state Democratic par-
ty's Jackson and Jefferson Day
dinner.

New Honors
Curriculum

Who Desire More
Independent Research
By LUCY KENNEDY
The Honors Council has cut the
bonds of formal course structur
with the creation of College Hon.
ors 199 and 299, which are experi-
ments in closer student-teacher
discussions on subjects of the stu-
dent's choosing.
College Honors 199 is a group
seminar class on material not cov
ered by courses presently in the
curriculum. The Honors Council
established 199 as a credit course
in last year's winter term.
The Honors Council also agreed
to recognize College Honors 299 as
a credit course for independent
research. It is aimed at individual
students who want to study in
some area not covered by any par.
ticular course.
Approval
Students wishing to set up a 299
course must organize a bibliog-
raphy, have a faculty member de-
cide how many credit hours the
student should be awarded, and re-
ceive approval from a counselor
and the Honors Council Executive
Committee.
A faculty sponsor and Honor;
Council Executive Committee ap-
proval are also necessary to set up
a 199 course. This course has beer
largely restricted to juniors and
seniors in the literary college in at
effort to get students with some
background and keep the course
on an intense level.
Prof. Adon A. Gordus of the
chemistry department and associ-
ate director of the Honors Coun-
cil, said that student requests foi
these courses are generally accept-
ed unless they duplicate a subjeci
already in existence. The aim 01
the courses is to avoid as mucl
structure and red tape as possi-
ble.

By LYNNE ROTHSCHILD
Growing student dissatisfaction
with the curriculum and adminis-
tration of the College of Archi-
tecture and Design led to a com-
plaint-filled open meeting of the
college's Student-Faculty Commit-
tee yesterday.
Major student grievances were:
-Current disagreement among
faculty members in the architec-
ture school over design philoso-
phies,
-Professors' use of grade points
to influence students' work towards
the design philosophies they be-
lieve in, and
--The architecture school grad-
ually phasing out research by
phasing out research-oriented pro-
fessors.
'No Alternatives'
Prof. Robert Lytle explained he
is being forced to advise many
students to work within a certain
tradition and ignore alternative
methods. Lytle termed such a sit-
uaion "educational subversion."
Many students objected to be-
ing forced to do a rigidly defined
senior thesis.
-Some of the college's faculty
members objected to the students'
charges. Prof. Kingsbury Marzolf,
co-chairman of yesterday's meet-
ing, explained that the faculty has
already approved a proposal to
liberalize thesis requirements.
A student in the crowd yelled
out that this could not help this
year's seniors.
Conflicting Ideologies
The conflict seems to express
two trends of thought within the
school. One group contends that
design problems should be solved
within the framework of a partic-
ular philosophy of architecture. In
this framework craftsmanship -
what one student termed "static
excellence"-is emphasized above
all else.
A second group stresses archi-
tecture as a dynamic profession
which requires what Rob Elfler, '67
A&D, called a "flexibility of
thought." A variety of approaches
and the importance of research
are stressed.
Many students feel that profes-
sors are using the pressure of
grade points to demand that stu-
dents adhere to their particular
technique.
Chances 'Slim'
Marzolf and other professors
said the possibilities of the school's
curriculum being changed to ex-
press only one of these philosophies

By War According to
Disrupted health services are
the result of "a war that has no
front" in Viet Nam according to
Dr. Myron E. Wegman, dean of
the University's School of Public
Health.
Dr. Wegman returned Wednes-
day from Viet Nam where he was
part of a Presidential task force
sent to survey the health needs
of the Southeast Asian nations.
He noted that the war in Viet
Nam offered even more problems
in health and sanitation than
most wars, because a war of this
type is fought "everywhere and
affects everyone."
Although the language barrier

1,794 new cases in Saigon since

cholera hospital, however, had lost
only five persons. Dir. Wegman
termed this incredible and said
such a record would do credit to
the best American hospitals.
All areas of the country are
affected by the war. The cities are
faced with crowding and sanita-
tion problems while the rural
communities are constantly in
danger of being completely cut
off by the Viet Cong.

"The W.E.B. DuBois club will
function as one of the antiwar
groups on campus and also as a
protector of civil liberties on cam-
pus. It will oppose American im-
perialism as well as the more
subtle imperialism of the Com-
munist countries."~
These lines are taken from the
proposed constitution of University1
chapter of the W.E.B. DuBois
clubs, now being formed here.
Not stated in the constitution,
though, is the real purpose behind
the planning of the club, which
is to oppose United States At-
torney General Nicholas Katzen-
bach's recent move to have the
DuBois clubs listed as a com-
munist front organization. The
organizers of the club believe
Katzenbach's decision represents
infringement of civil liberty.
Nearing Completion
The group behind the organiza-
tion of the club is nearing com-
pletion of its plans, having col-
lected the twenty names necessary
for a student organization to re-
ceive official recognition. They
soon hope to finish acquiring the
requisite number of faculty spon-
sors.
Fraternity System Favors
Eeof Colonies
By RANDY FROST,
- The establishment of a new
Sigma Pi colony on campus is
part of an overall expansion pro-
gram planned by the Interfrater-
nity Council.
"With the number of registered
rushees up 800 this year and the
number of pledges up 200, the sys-
tem 'mustdexpand to meet an in-
creased demand," said Douglas
Dunn, '67, executive vice-president
of IFC.
He called the establishment of
a new fraternity such as Sigma Pi
"an opportunity for the men to
set the tone and direction of a
fraternity in the absence of some
Most fraternity men are gener-
ally in favor of expanding the sys-
tem, although several reservations
are commonly held. One such fear
is typified by the attitude of Gil-
bert Premo, '67, president of Delta
Sigma Phi, who feels that if the
system is expanded, IFC energies
would be diverted from assisting
some of the weaker houses already
existing.
John Feldkamp, assistant to the
vice-president for student affairs
said "the benefits of the large
rush helps all fraternities. The
solution to the problems of some
of the weaker fraternities does not
lie in limiting the competition, but
through internal changes in the
Rothberger claims the govern-
ment tried to harass SDS last
fall, but failed "because most
people realize, no matter what
they think of SDS, that it isn't
a front for any power or the
Communist party."
Thus the reasons behind his
group's and the nationwide re-
action to the attorney general's
move "is to show unity among all
the people interested in protecting
civil liberties and to prevent an-
other McCarthy 'era from happen-
ing."
