University Plans for Housing: Too Little
Too Late
By ROGER RAPOPORT
Last of a Series
The Commission believes that
the University's greatest respon-
sibility to private owners and
developers of student housing,
and to the City of Ann Arbor,
as well, is to provide an effec-
tive channel for communications
between the University and all
others whose cooperation and
participation is required in order,
to assure suitable student hous-
ing facilities in Ann Arbor.
-President Hatcher's Blue
Ribbon Report on Student
Housing
On the surface there appears
to be little reason for student
concern over the University's role
in the housing situation.
In the past year, the Univer-
sity has pressed landlords to give
students eight month leases, pro-
duced a Blue Ribbon report on
student housing and embarked on
new dormitory and apartment
construction on North Campus.
But in these times when the
landlord no longer lives in to stoke
the furnace on cold winter nights,
the situation is far from resolved.
For example, the Office of Stu-
dent Affairs is currently in the
midst of a housing crisis precipi-
tated by Mrs. Elizabeth Leslie, as-
sistant to the director of student-
community relations.
Mrs. Leslie, who was assistant to
Dean of Women Deborah Bacon, Over the past five years, however,

Change Academic
Requirements for
Pledging, Activattion
By RANDY FROST
The Fraternity President's As-
sembly, in a meeting last night
passeda resolution registering its
"collective disapproval" of Vice-
President Richard Cutler's decision
to review Panhellenic Assocition's
rush policies, recently approved by
Student Government Council.
The FPA also approved a by-
law revision raising the minimum
academic grade point average re-
quired to pledge and go active
from 2.0 to 2.2 by two votes.
The resolution, recommended by
the Intefraternity Council Execu-
tive Committee, voiced the fra-
ternity system's "grave concern
that Vice-President Cutler's action
constitutes a belated and unila-
teral vote of no confidence in the
orderly management by students
of their affairs in the participa-
tory democracy so frequently en-
dorsed by the Office of Student
Affairs."
Act on Men's Rush?
In debate on the resolution, con-
cern was expressed that if the
administration acted negatively on
the sorority fall rush proposal,
fraternity fall rush would also be
questioned in the future. Charles
Judge, assistant to the director of
student organizations and coun-
selor to fraternities, however, de-
nied that there was any 'such
sentiment among the Office of
* Student Affairs.
The new academic gradepoint
requirements will go into effect
this fall. The action does not in-
clude present pledges and also
exempts engineering students.
Stop Competition
A concern for the fraternity
system's academic image was evi-
denced throughout the debate' on
the revisions. Bruce Getzner, '68,
president of Sigma Chi, maintain-
ed that the change encouraged
academics at the expense of the
more well-rounded individual, and
would heighten the cut-throat
competion already present."
IFC Executive Vice-President
Douglas Dunn, '67E, emphasized
however that only 8 per cent of
the students in the literary college
will be affected. The revisions re-
quired a two-thirds majority vote
for approval and passed by a
margin of 26-10.

UNITED NATIONS (P)--A majority of the UN Security Council
membership, with U.S. Ambassador Arthur J. Goldberg in the fore-
front, staged a sit-in of nearly 6%/2 hours yesterday night in an effort
to have the council president summon an urgent session on Rhodesia.
The 10 nations demanding a meeting of the 15-nation council
gave up before midnight. A delegate said they had received "an oral
indication" that Ambassador Moussa Keita of Mali, council president
for April, was continuing his consultations and could not call a meet-
ing before Friday.
Britain had requested an urgent session to obtain authority from#
the United Nations to use force if necessary to stop ships from de-
livering oil to the rebel regime in Rhodesia. They wanted the council
to meet at 4 p.m. Thursday.
CRITICISM OF THE ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION study being
carried on by the University Center for Research in Reproductive
Biology issued from a number of religious and legal officials in Detroit
yesterday.
Rev. Kenneth E. Untener, assistant chancellor of the Archdiocese
of Detroit, attacked the project, saying that it "robs the marital act of
one of its essential elements-an act of love . . . Artificial insemination,
is basicallly manufactured love."
At the same time, several attorneys pointed out many related
legal problems involving legitimacy, adultery, inheritance and tax
deduction.

STUDENTS WHO WILL BE AT THE UNIVERSITY for the
Spring-Summer term must register their automobiles and motorcycles,
Vice-President for Student Affairs Richard L. Cutler said yesterday.
The 21 year age limit for having automobiles on campus has been
waived for the third term until such time as automobile congestion
may require such restrictions.
The registration fee will be $1.75 for automobiles and $1.50 for
motorized cycles, and will apply to all students carrying four or more
credits. Students carrying three hours or less will be required to regis-
ter but no fee will be charged.
PROFS. ROBERT C. ANGELL of the sociology department and.
Kenneth E. Boulding of the economics department have been named
to a newly formed advisory council for the Midwest Division of the
International Studies Association. The association is the only pro-
fessional organization devoted to the integration of knowledge in the
international studies field.
THE FIRST MAJOR STEP in the shift to federally subsidized
student loans has been taken by the federal Office of Education. Har-
old Howe II, commissioner of education announced recently that in-
terim agreements have been signed to make the subsidized loans avail-
able in all states and territories for the 1966-67 academic year.
According to Karl D. Streiff, assistant director of financial
aids, who has just returned from consultation with federal education
officials in Washington, the announcement does not mark any change
of policy towards National Defense Education loans. According to
Streiff, the Office of Education expects the NDEA loan program to1
continue through the 1967 fiscal year as it has in the past, but officialst
feel that the program will be discontinued the following year.-

Existing 'U' Statutes
By LAURENCE MEDOW
Fraternities and sororities could
face legal prosecution for refusing
membership to anyone strictly on
the basis of race or color under
a bill which has received prelimin-
ary approval in the State House
of Representatives.
The warmly debated measure
was amended to apply only to
chapters at public junior colleges,
colleges and universities, and to
eliminate a ban against religious
discrimination,
Interfraternity Council Presi-
dent Richard E. Van House, '67E,
predicted, however, that the new
measure "won't really affect us
much." He described it as "mere-
ly a state backing of what already
exists here."
Charles Judge, assistant to the
director of student organizations
and counselor to fraternities, con-
curred with Van House. "As far as
I can see it does the same thing
that our rules do and merely of-
fers the state's support," he said.
According to an Associated
Press report, the anti-discrimina-
tion measure, introduced by Rep.
James Del Rio (D-Det.), had met
with objections that it would pre-'
vent formation of religion-related
groups-;such as denominational1
student organizations or the
Knights of Columbus-and that
'This is on the statutes already.",
Rep. Dale Kildee (D-Flint) de-f
fended the bill, but sponsored thet
amendment to strike the ban ont
religious discrimination to meet
objections.
Such a law, Kildee said, would
help stir consciences and prod such
organizations into eliminating dis-
crimination from their by-laws. N

By DONNA SIMMONS
Policy planners of the teaching
fellows met last night in the West
Physics Bldg. to decide what they
would talk about with Dean Wil-
liam Haber of the literary college
today.
The group was made up of rep-
resentatives of the various schools
of the University which decided
that with the 150 people who at-
tended their mass meeting on
Wednesday they represented -a
bargaining power.
Demands
The committee decided they
would ask for two things at the
ational meeting this morning:
mmis- -status as academic staff with
Weston library priviledges, adequate office
on space, staff parking and a channel
of information with the adminis
tration, and
--a salary increase to $3600 and
1s tuition exemption.

have some results by Monday so
that there will be something def-
inite to show at the second mass

"We will have the final choice

Glenn Seaborg, chairman of the

asked yesterday of the progress of
the selection of a final site for
the proposed 200 billion electron

erator.
Seaborg, along with Gerald
Tape, commissioner of the AEC
and seven experts from their staff,
were taken to inspect a site in
Northfield Township, just north-
east of Ann Arbor, yesterday as
part of their tour of five of the
six locations still being consider-
ed for the $375 million pro ect.
They were accompanied. by Gov.
George Romney, University Presi-
dent Harlan Hatcher and Rep.
Weston Vivian. Also with the tour
were many state legislators, and
faculty members from the Uni-
versity.
State Promises Land
Earlier yesterday, the state Le'g-
islature confirmed its pi'omise to
provide the land for the project
by approving $5 to $10 million
for the purchase of the land in-
