TUESDAY, JANUARY 17: 1967 THE MICHIGAN DAILY 1PAC flu' 1?U'V TUESDAY, JANUARY 17, 1967 THE MIChIGAN DAILY &IAJ Lr, n rV U Berkelky Commission Proposed Ask Participation Of Faculty, Students, In ecision-Making Collegiate Press service BERKELEY, Cal.-In response to last month's student strike, the Berkeley faculty is about to set up another committee to explore ways to govern this huge campus. The Policy Committee of the Academic Senate has proposed a Commission on University Gov- ernance, with six students and six faculty members, to strengthen student participation in decision- making. The Senate is expected to approve the proposal at its meeting today. With a noteof desperation, the Policy Committee declared in an open letter to the University that Berkeley "may be nearing the last moment" when a "vicious cycle that threatens to institutionalize both mass disruption and 'resort' to police on our campus" can be broken. The Committee warned that "one consequence of a con- tinued inability to govern our- selves wil be destructive inter- vention from outside." Commission Powers The proposed Commission would: -Define the respective areas in which students, faculty and ad- ministration should .exercise con- trol. Assess steps for increasing and improving student participation in formulation of educational pol- icies. -Find ways to make the exist- ing student government an "ef-~ fective agency for all segments of the student body. Free Forum -Investigate means for improv- ing the quality of the free forum, "while recognizing that political advocacy cannot be separated from controversy and emotional commitment" -Study disciplinary procedures and methods for reviewing the content of rules. --Examine university policies regarding activities of non-stu- dents. Faculty members of the Com- mission would be selected by the Academic Senate; student mem- bers by the Associated Students. Objections on Wording . The proposal. was brought up for consideration at last Tues- day's Senate meeting, but because of certain objections to the word- ing it was not brought to a vote. It is likely to pass with amend- ments this Tuesday. Fears Election The Policy Committee noted in its proposal that "the time re- quired by an election . .. would greatly delay the institution of the Commission." It also said that it did not believe that "the kind of balanced and representative stu- dent membership that is essential o the success of the Commission would be likely to be secured by an election." The student strike which prompted the Policy 'Committee's proposal took more than 5,ooo stu- dents out of classes during the first week of December. The boy- cott protested the administration's calling in city police to disperse a sit-in against Navy recruiters in the student union.I One of the strike's demands was that "negotiations begin to estab- lish a system of just and effective student representation in the for- mulation of a newset of policies regulating' student activity." neboys GoApe- The Mzonkees There's Monkee gum, Monkee. caps, Monkee boots, Monkee pants, two hit Monkee singles, over 3 million copies of the Monkees' first album and soon there may be Monkee depart- ments in over 1,600 stores. However, the Saturday Eve- ning Post report on America's homegrown Beatles shows that being a Monkee is not quite as much fun as a barrel of monkeys. Their records ' were "prefabricated" and, ac- cording to Monkee Mike Nes- mith, "totally dishonest... the music had nothing to do with us."

IN NEW YORK, SAN FRANCISCO: Collegec Students Hold Boycott To Protest Cafeteria. Prices Following a bitter campus-wide debate over the merits of theI ROTC program, the faculty indi- cated in an unofficial poll two weeks ago that it favored abolition of academic standing for student, military training. The debate over ROTC was sparked by the .Boston University News, the student weekly, last September when it published a three-page attack on the Univer- sity's Army-Air Force cadet pro- gram in it~s opening issue of the Syear. The News called for an end to ROTC's "privileged" academic status on campus and urged that the ROTC program be made an extra-curricular activity. Military Propaganda "ROTC makes no pretense of being open to free and creative discussion of thehmilitary and its alternatives," the News said. "Rather it is 'indoctrination. It is propaganda issued by a military hierarchy beyond the University's control . . The paper charged that the campus military "simultaneously offers official credit, awards 'pro- fessorships'(outside the jurisdic- tion of our own faculty), speaks on official platforms, receives free rent, occupies precious class- room space, and in general mani- pulates a totalitarian discipline behind the mask of educational sanctuary and under the name of the University we all constitute." The editorial was accompanied by a faculty petition calling ROTC "inappropriate in purpose, sub- stance or control to a university curricilum." Harold C. Case issued a state- W ment that "to rule ROTC off-cam- pus... . would be as much a denial of the traditional rights and privi- leges of students as to make it AM ERI mandatory." Philosophy professor Erazin Ko- hak supported the ROTC program because he said it encouraged a ITERA 7 civilian army through college training-in sharp contrast to the professional armies he encountered while growing up in Europe.P o F d In response to the News attacks, the faculty conducted an investi- y gation of the military program. efIFLhei dents for a Democratic SocietyP - distributed more than 1,000 "Dis- Credit ROTC" buttons and soli- & Prof. Pow cited faculty member opposition . to the military program. .

Cadet public infor- ; mation officer Howard A.

AIdriidge 4ty 0 pose Room Collegiate Press Service WASHINGTON, D.C. - Taking a hint from last fall's housewives' boycotts of supermarkets, students have begun to demand power to determine the cost of food in col-+ lege cafetarias.I Students at Hunter College in New York City and at San Fran- cisco held successful boycotts of+ their campus dining services last month to protest rising prices. They claimed that the food service, supposed to be a non- profit organization, was actually operating at a profit and was charging higher prices than at other New York City college cafe- terias. The cafeteria supervisor ex- plained that her hamburgers cost more than those at nearby City College of New York because the CCNY hamburgers weigh less. Price Reductions Nevertheless, after three days of boycotts against the cafeteria, the students were given across- the-board price reductions, and the administration agreed to sub- sidize any financial loss the cafe- teria might incur a student-fac- ulty "Kitchen Cabinet" was also formed to recommend new price scales, to examine the cafeteria books, and to keep track of food service policy, "We are actually running our own cafeteria," committee mem- ber Al Handel said. "This was our ultimate goal-to have students determine cafeteria prices and policy." Cafeteria directors at San Fran- cisco State College faced a two- front battle, as students protested a 15 per cent increase in food prices and a union of student cafeteria employees demanded a hike in hourly wages. Nine-Day Boycott has also spread to Canada. Thirty University of Windsor students picketed the cafeteria after one- third of the resident students were stricken with attacks of nausea and dizziness. Medical authorities, who care- fully checked the cafeteria and other campus facilities for a possi- ble source of bacterial infection, ,s idence x -- - .

During the boycott, called 90 per cent effect- ive" by its leaders, an association of married students' wives and the California Committee to Legalize Abortion sold food in the union which undercut the cafeteria prices. Since the end of Christmas vacation, students have been eat- ing at the cafeteria, while the boycott committee seeks to organ- ize an official vote on the organ- ization of the cafeteria's managing board. The cafeteria management is conducting a study of prices, student attitudes, and possibilities for change.
