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 Late World News 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. DETROIT (A)-President Johnson has been invited to speak at a University of Michigan alumni dinner March 4 as part of the institution's 150th anniversary year program. A University spokesman said word was still awaited from the 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. ** * * THE DEFENSE DEPARTMENT announced yesterday that it will draft 11,400 men for the Army in April. This will be 500 below the March quota. Draft calls for the first four months of 1967 have averaged 12,000 a month, though Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara recently told Congress an average of 17,000 youths would be in- ducted through June. McNamara also said the Defense Department will seek about 24,000 each month for a year beginning in July. PRINCESS IRENE of Greece, toured the University of Mich- igan's new School of Music yesterday, gathering ideas to estab- lish a similar music school in Greece. During her visit, the princess listened to student pianists and organists. Gyorgy Sandor, concert. pianist and U-M professor, presented her some of his recordings of Bartok piano composi- tions. The princess came to U-M at her own request. AN OPEN MEETING ON DECISION-MAKING will be held Sunday by the student members of the President's Commission on Decision-Making, the group announced yesterday. Bruce Kahn, '68, said that the meeting was slated to allow members of the University community, a chance to discuss areas of decision- making and other problems affecting themselves and the coin- mission. A time and location will be announced. * * * INFORMATION ON CLASS RANKING and related issues may be obtained from Room 1017, Angell Hall, the office of the dean of the literary college announced yesterday This document, "Grades, Ranking, and Student Deferment," was prepared by Prof. E. Lowell Kelly as background material for the literary college faculty discussion on this topic. At its Feb. 6 meeting, the faculty expressed concern that this docu- ment, which played an important role in its own consideration, be shared with interested students. PROF. RUSSELL FFIELD of the political science depart- ment has been awarded a grant by the Twentieth Century Fund to direct a study of United States involvement in Southeast Asia, August Hecksher, the fund's director, announced yesterday. The study is expected to be published in 1969. GUYS AND DOLLS TRYOUTS begin tomorrow and continue Thursday and Friday at 7:30 p.m. in the Civic Theater Building, 803 W. Washington.

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 dissemination of various materials promoting a puerile interest in pornography-such as the recent Da ily-Thomas R.

Once the public statement is issued, Samuels said Harvard could then apply certain sanctions against discriminatory firms that would result in the loss of the right to use the Harvard place- ment service. 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.

It is the second endowed pro- fessorship the University has re- ceived through the $55-M drive and the first to be fully endowed. The University is one of four schools sharing an equal endow- ment totaling $2.4 million; the other business schools were Har- Dean Floyd A. Bond of the Uni- versity business school said that a leading authority in the field would be named to the Kresge professor- ship. "The holder of the chair," Lie added, "will further strengthen ;he research and teaching capabili- ties of our faculty, already among the most distinguished in the na- tion, and enhance the school's abil- ity to attract students of the high- est caliber."
