LXXVI, No.93 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN. SUNDAY, JANUARY 16, 1966 SEVEN CENTS o Consider ropose Housing Unit b SIX PAGES ursday By DICK WINGFIELD * Student Government Council will act Thursday on a motion providing for a proposed Student Housing Association which would enable more interested students to work in the area of housing.- Five student housing commit- tees are presently functioning on campus. But this a.sociation, ac- cording to its supporters, will centralize and expand student participation and -responsibility. SGC member Robert Bodkin, '67, sponsor of the motion, said, "We must try to provide a nerve center for student work on the housing w problem and concurrently tap the reservoir of student talent and Housing Unit May Request Federal Aid City Comiinoiers Indicate Approval Of Leasing Program By BOB CARNEY Ann Arbor's newly - established housing commission will very like- ly seek federal funds, its chairman said yesterday. "The five commissioners are generally agreed on accepting fed- eral leasing programs now under consideration," chairman Henry V. Aquinto said. The plan would be subject to the approval of city council. It would provide federal moey for the leasing of houses as "emergency - type" dwellings to temporarily house evicted families. Two other federal programs for the rehabilitation and construc- tion of public housing will be ex- amined by the commission in the futre after emergency cases have been adequately dealt with. These programs, however, are thought to face considerably more opposition than the leasing plan, which itself may run into some trouble in the council chambers. In advance of the final decision, the commission must accept a set of criteria for choosing public h o u s i n g. applicants. Thursday° night two members of the com- nission presented to the commis- sion a first-draft of such criteria, which included the following ma- jor provisions: -The applicants must qualify as a family (two or more persons related by blood marriage or adop- tion is the major requirement),; -The net income after allow- able exemptions and assets must not exceed $2600 for a single per- son, $4400 for two, $5300 for a five-person family, and $6600 for a family of ten or more; -The applicant must have been a resident of the city for at least one year; andI -The applicant must have been or must be about to be displaced from adequate housing through no fault of his own. The criteria are similar to those used by commissions in Detroit, Ypsilanti, Inkster and Mount Clemens. They will be debated, approved and presented to coun- cil after further commission re- view Commenting on the require- ments, commissioner L y n d o n Welch declined to predict specific alterations, butsaid he wouldube surprised if they passed un- changed. He noted that the alterations could come from one of three sources: the commissioners them- selves, the city council, or the fed- eral housing authorities, who must approve any such eligibility re- quirements whether federal funds are applied for or not. The residency requirement 'ap- pears to be a likely area of debate. Dr. Albert Wheeler, president of the local chapter of the NAACP, has ppilicly opposed the one-year. residency provision as unnecessar- ily restrictive. He points to the greaf difficulty new residents have in finding low or even middle in- come housing when they move to Ann Arbor. This has forced many people who work in the city to live outside, according to Wheeler. There will also, however, be some pressure for a longer* resi- dence requirement, e s p e c i ally energy we have to work on this project." The SHA, consisting of a five- member executive board and three subcommittees, was viewed with scepticism by Charles Cooper,G administrative vice-president of SGC, at the last meeting, when the motion was tabled. Cooper said he strongly supports the ob- jectives of SHA, but added that the five other housing committees on campus have comparable goals and are apparently failing to ac- complish anything. The five present committees are the Graduate Student Council Advisory Committee, the Voice Housing Committee, the Student Advisory Committee to the Vice- President for Student Affairs, the Joint Committee on Low Cost Housing and SGC's Off-Campus Housing Advisory Board.

I 'What's New At 764-1817 Ilotline The University still has not decided if it will appeal Judge William Ager's refusal to grant an injunction against the unions seeking recognition as a bargaining agency for the University's nonacademic employes, Edmund Cummiskey, attorney represent- ing the University in the case, said yesterday. However, Cumminskey expressed doubts whether the University will appeal, although fipal decision will wait on developments until Monday. A German house-where those interested in speaking German can practice -their skill-may be started in the Oxford Coopera- tives next fall. Sarah Smith, '67, said it will be necessary for either 45 girls or 45 boys to apply within the next month for each house that can be opened. . . The University announced recently that it is to receive $83,000 in graduate study subsidies from the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation. The fpnds will be used for graduate fellowships administered by the graduate scholarship program for 1966-67, according to Dr. Freeman D. Miller, asso- ciate dean of the Graduate School. Wire tapf The Sigma Chi discrimination case will be handled at one of the first Inter-Fraternity Council executive committee meet- ings this semester, IFC sources report. The executive committee will discuss the report of the IFC membership committee and will decide whether Sigma Chi is guilty of discrimination. If Sigma Chi is found guilty, the most severe penalty would be expulsion from IFC. Long Distance The Kentucky Education Association's governing body voted yesterday to hold a one-day statewide teacher walkout before Feb. 4 in protest of low salaries. The association's 600-member delegate assembly also threat- ened to invoke National Education Association sanctions of the severest kind against the state unless "our current educational crisis has been met satisfactorily." No date has been set for the teacher walkout. The assembly decided to hold district meetings on the day of the walkout to discuss the issue of statewide sanctions. Kentucky ranks 46th in the nation in teachers' salaries and education leaders say there is no immediate hope for relief. The assembly met in special session because its goal of $900 pay raises for teachers over the next two years was not included in Gov. Edward T. Breathitt's budget passed by the legislature Friday. A 19-year-old Brigham Young University junior, Donald Costello, recently burned his student movie discount card in the BYU student center to protest the circulation of a petition urging censorship of obscene movies. The petition drive had gathered 1250 signatures when Costello appeared before a group of 60 students who were debating the issue and proceeded to set a match to his discount card.

Faiks Both Pledge 'Necessary' War Action Coup Hinted; Saigon Plans for Civic Action Given U.S. Support SAIGON, South Viet Nam (')- Secretary of State Dean Rusk Rnd South Viet Nam's government jointly declared Sunday that all necessary military measures must continue to be taken against the Communists while keeping '"alert" for any possible peace talks. A Joint communique was issued following talks Saturday between Rusk the U.S. roving ambassador W. Averell Harriman, Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge on one side and Prime Minister Nguyen Cao Ky and the chief of state, Lt. Gen. Nguyen Van Thieu, 'on the other. It said: -"The basic positions of the two governments were consistent in all fundamental respects" in a quest for peace while insuring the security of South Viet Nam from a Communist takeover; -The United States will con- tinue full supprt of Viet Nam in its fight against the Vie$ Cong and North Vietnamese regulars, and -Washington would "do all in its power" to help South Viet Nam' improve the economic lot of the people. The American portion of the communique heavily emphasized continued backing of the struggle in Viet Nam and Rusk used such words as "firm determination" and "full support" in stating Washington's stand. Peace Drive Ky, who has feared that the U.S. peace drive might mean some sort of eventual sellout, restated South Viet Nam's conditions for peace. Ky said there must be an end to aggression with independence and liberty in order to permit eventual unification of Viet Nam, accompanied by guarantees, pre- sumably from the United States and its allies, that would preclude a "resumption of aggression which would endanger both Southeast Asia and the peace of the world." Military Measures "The prime minister and Sec- retary Rusk agreed that the Viet- namese government and its allies must continue to take all neces- sary military measures while re- maining alert to all proposals and initiatives that might lead to peace," the communique said. No reference was made to ps- sible resumption of bombings in North Viet Nam, which has been bomb free since Dec. 24 as part of President Johnson's peace of- fensive. Military activity in the south l has been unchanged. Rusk and Harriman had con- ferred with the Vietnamese all day Saturday as the atmosphere in Saigon grew tense.

Kimball, one of the diving judges, kept track mentally of how he thought the divers stood. After the meet he said, "I told Gus (Coach Stager) that the worst we could have done was second. When they announced third, I had the totals rechecked." And rechecking t h e totals proved to be the difference in the iers' freestyle relay team at the meet's end. The meet was close all the way, as the lead changed hands five times. In the first race of the' meet only :00.14 separated the two 400-yard medley teams. A Hoosier combination of Pete Hammer,' Tom Tretheway, Kevin Berry, and Bill Utley touched out Rees Or- land, Paul Scheerer, Ken Wiebeck and Captain Rich Walls of the Wolverines.
