Action on Law
Giving Free Tuition
By STEPHEN WILDSTROM
Daily News Analysis
A new source of. conflict be-
tween the University and state
officials over the school's auto-
nomy is developing over a little-
known Michigan statute providing
tuition for children of disabled
servicemen or killed in action.
Under Public Act 245 of 1935,
as amended, any Michigan resi-
dent under 22 who is the son or
daughter of a member of the
armed forces who was killed in
actioh or died of other causes dur-
ing "any war or war condition" or
of a totally disabled war veteran
"shall be admitted to any state
tax-supported . . . institute . . .
of college grade," and may attend
tuition free.
Last Oct. 20, Gov. George Rom-
ney sent letters to the presidents
of all state-supported universities
and colleges, calling their atten-
tion to Public Act 245. He also
said he had been informed that
there was no uniform application
of the act in Michigan and that
"we need complete and uniform
observance of this vital state legis-
lation."
University Compliance
Currently, the University does
not fully comply with the act.
According to Executive Vice-Presi-
dent Marvin L. Niehuss, students
who qualify under the act are
given scholarships if they are aca-
demically qualified for admission,
and if they are in financial need.
Although the act makes no spe-
cific proviison for academic quali-
cations, Romney, in his letter, re-
ferred to "qualified students." The
governor, however, also specifical-
ly referred to "means tests" as an
unacceptable form of compliance.
Romney's letter to President
Hatcher has been called to the;
attention of the Regents, but as
yet, they have not discussed it
publicly. ,
No Past Problem
,Niehuss said that in the past,
the act has posed no problem to
the University since the matter
has never been pressed. He added,
however, that if an attempt was
made to completely enforce ,the
act, he would consider it an in-
fringement on the University's
autonomy.
According to Charles Orlebeke,
the governor's assistant for edu-1
cation, reports from state colleges
and universities on compliance are
reaching Lansing and have been
transferred to the governor's
budget bureau for processing.
He said that Romney will con-
sider further action on P.A. 245
after this processing has been'
completed.
Orlebeke added that he did not
expect the budget bureau to fin-
ish work on the P.A. 245 reports
until after the state budget is out
of the way, which could be sev-
eral weeks.
Other Conflicts
If Romney attempts to force full,
compliance with the act, he could
add fuel to a fight already raging;
between the University and the
state. University administrators!
and state officials are currently
embroiled in conflicts over Public
Act 124, which requires that plans
f.o r state - financed University
buildings be submitted to state
architects for approval as a con-
dition for state capital outlay
funds, and Public Act 379, which
gives public employes in Michigan
the right to form labor unions for
collective bargaining.
The University maintains that
P.A. 124 is a direct infringement

WASHINGTON OP)-Deputy Secretary of Defense Cyrus R. Vance
said yesterday the United States and the Soviet Union have
initiated talks aimed at preventing a costly race for ballistic
missile defenses.
President Johnson and Defense Secretary Robert S. McNa-
mara have said such an anti-ballistic missile system race would
result in -no advantage for either side.
The President said last month the United States would take
up the question with the Soviets.

at a University of Michigan alumni dinner March 4 as part of the
institution's 150th anniversary year program.

White House on possible acceptance of the invitation.
SESQUICENTENNIAL RECOGNITION of the founding of
the University was passed in a concurrent resolution in the state
Legislature recently.
The resolution established a 15 member joint legislative
committee to be known as the Commission on the Sesquicenten-
nial which will cooperate in the coordination of the special
activities planned for the sesquicentennial observation.
PETITIONING FOR STUDENT ADVISORY BOARD posi-
tions has been re-opened and will continue until Feb. 17, accord-
ing to Richard Handel, co-ordinating vice-president of Student
Government Council. The boards will work with four University
vice presidents. Handel said that petitioning was re-opened be-
cause of poor publicity among graduate students during the
first period.
THE OFFICE OF FINANCIAL AIDS has announced that
applications for loans to students under the National Defense
Education Act are now available. Students presently have such
loans must re-apply for next year.
Students need a 2.0 average or higher to apply. Presently,
though the top amount available to an undergraduate is $1,000
and to a graduate is $2,500, the actual average loan is substan-
tially below these figures. Awards of loans are based on financial
need.

Legislative Committee'
To Ask Universities
For Self-Evaluation
By ROBERT KLIVANS j
A resolution creating a special
legislative committee to investi-
gate "Student Activity on State-
supported Educational Institu-
tions" will not be considered in
the near future by the Michigan
House Policy committee, the com-
mittee's chairman, Rep. Roy Spen-
cer (R-Attica), said last night.I
Spencer, who was one of the six
original signers of the resolution,
said that he does not see the need
now for bringing it before the
House.
Other supporters of the pro-
posal had indicated that the bill
would be reported out of commit-
tee yesterday, but Spencer said he
still wishes to gather information
on the subject. and as the main
supporter of the bill on the im-
portant committee he felt the
other committee members would
follow his judgment in delaying
consideration of the measure.
Areas of Concern on Campus
The resolution cites arias of
serious concern on the state cain-
puses, including "reported
groups of students engaging in
minoirty agitation and dis:'b-
ances:" the proliferation of "the
so-called mind drugs, as LSD and
similar distortional agents:" 'the

Once the public statement is

against discriminatory firms that
would result in the loss of the

Samuels added that once Har-
vard has a definitive policy it
could unite with other law schools,
such as those at Virginia, Duke,
Chicago, and the University to
apply uniform sanctions. He said
discrimination by a firm at any
law school would prevent that
firm from interviewing at the
other schools.
a ers al
limiUnation
Sherman Chickering, publisher
of the sponsor magazine and mod-
erator for Sunday's press confer-
ence, also presented the maga-
zine's plan for a Students Serving
Society Registry. Each student
will submit a signed application
form explaining how he would
serve under a national voluntary
service system. A 50-cent regis-
tration fee will cover the cost of
a registry card and the adminis-
tration of the program.
Through the registry, Chicker-
ing explained, the common ground
found by the various student or-
ganizations across the country can
be continued and expanded. The
list of names will be a solid fou-
daiton on which to establish the
proof that national voluntary
service is possible.
"The card the student receives,"
said Chickering, "is tangible proof
-just like his draft card-that he
is committed morally to serve."
Cooperrider
Clarifies
Board Stand
Killingsworth Says
Board Position Lacks'
Freedom Guarantees
Prof. Luke Cooperrider of' the
law school, chairmen of the Board
in Control of Student Publications,
said in a statement yesterday
that the 'Board did not intend to
"call for an investigation of The
Daily's editorial practices and poli-
cies" when it requested that the
faculty establish a committee to
"investigate" the papers relation-
ship with the Board.
Rather. Cooperrider said, the
Board desires "an inquiry into the
Board's policies and practices cn-
cerning the Daily"
Daily Editor Mark R. Killings-
worth, '67, asserted last night that
"while The Daily staff always wel-
comes comments and criticisms---
and has sought them-we cannot
oossibly accept any limitation of
The Daily's tradition of editorial
freedom.
"The Board's request for an 'in-
vestigation." he continued. "is
ambiguous. It does not indicate if
it could lead to such a limitation.
If this occurred it would have dis-
astrous consequences, not only for
The Daily but also for the entire
Unversity community."
Only Statement
Killinsworth's comments con-
stitute the only policy statement
isued by the Daily seniors since
the Board's action Monday.
Tn a resolution at that time the
Board asked that the Faculty
Senate Advisory Committee on
University Affairs establish a com-
mittee "to consider the proper
Inur'ose. function, and responsI-
' bility of a student newspaper in
this university community" and
"to consider whether the existing
arranement.Q at th University of
Michian adequately serve these
goals."
Cooperrider. speaking "to cor-
rect an erroneous impression con-
veyed by The Daily's reporting"
of Monday night's Board action,
said that the Board felt the need
for "the creation of a channel of
communication with the Univer-
sity community and for a review
by that community of the ar-
rangements which have governed
the relation between the Univer-
sity, the Board and the news-
paper."
'Exchange of Views'
"Members of the Board," he
continued, "are conscious that
doubts exist concerning these ar-
rangements and, not believing
themselves to be all wise in this
regard, have simply concluded
that the entire community will
benefit from the exchange of views
which the request hopefully will
produce."
Several controversial stories
published in the last several weeks
and "deteriorating relations" be-
tween the Board and The Daily's
senior editors were offered as ex-
planations for the Board move by
several facultydobservers, a Daily
rarticle reported Monday.
Directly under the authority of
the Regents, the Board is empow-
ered to oversee The Daily and all
other campus publications. It has
traditionally centered its authority
in financial affairs and has exer-
cised no direct control over edi-
torial comment.
Stephen Berkowitz, Grad, one of
the board's three student mem-
bers, said Monday that he felt
the board's action was a "political
act . . . dangerous because there
is no guarantee that the student
interest will be protected." Ber-
kowitz was the only board mem-
ber to offer this type of interpre-
tation on the move.
