LXXVII, No. 113 Social Work Conference Meets Here Focuses on Need For Student Voice In Program Planning By WALLACE IMMEN "If our schools will not 'allow student representation in the deci- sion-making process of our edu- cational system, then we mustturn our schools upside down until they do," Alan Haber, Grad, said yes- terday. Speaking in the keynote address to the Tri-University Conference on Social Work being held at thv University this week, Haber, a doe toral candidate in Social Work, explained that students are cur- rently showing concern over gain- ing a respected voice in curricular decisions, "not because we are un- ruly, but because we are serious about our education and want to protect the commitments to which we are .directing our lives." The two-day conference, focus- ing on the theme "Social Work and ,the Status Quo," was devel- oped from recent calls for repre- sentation of students in planning of social work programs. It is a F prelude to a national social work conference to be held in St. Louis in mid-March. The program, conducted in Trueblood Auditorium, has drawn over 600 delegates from 1 univer- sities in the Midwest and the South; their overriding goal is to kform an organizational base from which to work for a national social work student organization. The opening remarks to the delegates were made by University President Harlan Hatcher, who urged that students not lose sight of theirprofessional commitment in a push for unionization. But great interest was shown in working toward 'formal involve- ment of students. Speeches and panel discussions yesterday show- ed a need for a vastly increased role for students in the planning of schools of social work. "In organizing, our purpose is not just to conflict with and con- front the administration," said Marvyn Novick, Grad, the chair- man ofmthe conference. "We want tl*e means of working toward common goals with the admin- istration, and for this we need an efficient organizational base." "We want to be able to press demands rather than just ask," he added, "we need a mechanism by which to communicate our desires to the faculty." The conference, which annually brings delegates from the Univer- sity, Michigan State University and Wayne State University into consultation, was deliberately re- structured this year to bring in representatives from a larger num- ber of schools. In order to facilitate a direct exchange between the -delegates to develop areas of common con- cern, the delegates adjourned into twelve "house meetings" last night which allowed for unlimited dis- cussion in small groups. The conference continues today with remarks by Richard Cloward of the Columbia University social work school, who will speak on "Priorities for Social Work. Edu-j cation," followed by a reaction panel discussion in the morning session, beginning at 9:30.

UNITED NATIONS-Secretary-General U Thant appealed last night for an unconditional end to the American bombing of North Vietnam and an indefinite extension of the lunar new year cease-fire in Vietnam. It came about 24 hours before the expiration of a four- day truce declared by South Vietnam and the United States. They have declined to accept a seven-day truce called by Com- munist North Vietnam and the Viet Cong. Thant's statement said: "I have welcomed the cease-fire which accompanies the celebration of the Vietnamese Tet lunar new year and have appealed for its extension. I believe that an indefinite and unconditional extension of this cease-fire would help in moving this tragic conflict to the peace conference table. GAINESVILLE, Fla.-University of Florida coed Pamela Brewer was found guilty of "indiscreet and inappropriate conduct" last night for posing nude for an off-campus magazine layout.

The 10-member Discipline Committee went into closed ses- sion after a stormy public hearing that was interrupted for 30 minutes by some 200 angry students who were unable to get into the crowded Board of Regents room.

Lee, Jr., vice president for business affairs, is resigning to accept an appointment in April with the University of Chicago as the vice president for business and finance, the universities jointly announced yesterday. Lee has been with the University since 1951, In that year he became controller and eventually was named vice president for business affairs in April of 1966, reporting to Wilbur K. Pierpont, vice presi- dent and chief financial officer, While serving in this capacity, Lee has been responsible for the office of controller, personnel op- erations, plant operations, serv- ices enterprises, purchasing, and management services. Greater Responsibilities At Chicago, a private institu- tion originating from the financial aid of John D. Rockefeller I, Lee will command a wider range of activities than those which his present position entails. He will handle all business-financial af- fairs except investments, which fare under the direction of' the institution's treasurer. This is somewhat similar to the financial arrangement which was in effect here at the University until the division of duties in Pierpont's office last April. Lee, a Certified Public Account- ant, was employed by Icerman, Johnson and Hoffman public ac- counting firm in Ann Arbor before joining the University. He had re- ceived his B.A. degree from Mich- igan State University in 1941 and the Master of Business Adminis- tration from the. University in 1947. Lee's inter-university activities include a membership on the board of the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy of which he is currently vice presi- dent. He is also on the board of trustees of the University Corpora- tion for Atmospheric Research. Likewise he serves as a member of the NationalAssociation of College and University Business Officers and of the Michigan Association of Certified Public Accountants. Since 1958, Lee has taught in the summer short course for college business management at the University of Omaha. "We are most reluctant," said Pierpont, "to lose a close friend and colleague whose wisdom, good humor, and interest in University affairs will be sorely missed. Mr. Lee has been a key staff member in developing and improving fi- nancial operations to respond to. the rapid growth of the Univer- sity. However, we take pride in the recognitionahe receives in be- ing asked to accept responsibility for business and financial affairs at Chicago." As yet no consideration has been' givexn to a successor to Lee. Until someone has been selected,. those who formerly reported to Lee will work directly with Pier- pont In Ann Arbor, Lee is presently serving on the board of directors' of the United Fund and as a mem- ber of its budget committee, on the board of*'the Kiwanis Club, and has served as a director of the Chamber of Commerce. In ad- dition, he has been a member of the vestry of St. Andrew's Church and a trustee of the Episcopal Foundation.

Ribicoff, however, said that ''tuition has been rising like mad anyway, tax credit or no, because tuition doesn't reflect what the traffic will bear-it reflects the 'rising cost of education." He added that "either way (helping students now in college as opposed to allowing more stu- dents to attend college) it doesn't make any difference as far as I'm concerned. The cost of education is fantastic for all income groups. It's the middle-income group that gets it in the neck all the time and never gets a break." Ribicoff conceded that his pro- posal's cost - an estimated $1.2 'billion--and the present eeonomiz., ing mood of Congress might work against him. Ribicoff first advocated the tax credit idea in a speech four years ago. Getzon Outlines Plans f U. of Illinois Trustees Vote To Recognize DuB ois Club The University of Illinois board of trustees 'voted Thursday to recoghize an Urbana student or- ganization of the W.

The board was also besieged by student demands for greater po- litical activity on the Chicago and Urbana campuses and for repeal ed that the trustees ask the state legislature to repeal the 1947 Cla- baugh act, which prohibits the university from making its facili- ties and campuses available to members of subservice organiza- tions espousing their causes.
