PROF. SAMUEL R. HEPWORTH of the business adminis-
tration school died Tuesday of a heart attack. Hepworth, 46, was

dealt with the problems of international accounting and the
other with intercoporate investment.

FIFTY PSYCHOLOGY TEACHERS from small colleges all
over the United States are expected to attend a University psy-
chology institute next summer.
Supported by a $74,820 National Science Foundation grant,
the institute will include sections dealing with basic concepts of
psychology and with the potential contributions of mathematical
psychology.
General direction of the summer institute which runs from
June 28 to Aug. 18, will be under Prof. John E. Milholland..Prof.
Clyde H. Coombs will direct the sessions on mathematical psy-
chology.
Milholland says the response from last year's institute par-
ticipants showed the program to be worthwhile. He plans to
consult with those participants in January and tailor the com-
ing institute to the needs of psychology departments of five
men or less.
TWENTY-FOUR RESEARCH fellowships totaling $57,039
have been awarded to University faculty members for the summer
of 1967.
Presented from research funds of the Rackhain School of
Graduate Studies, the fellowships cover research in five areas-
biological sciences, physical sciences, languages and literature,
social sciences, and fine arts. Projects will range from the com-
pilation of a critical biography of George Orwell to a study of
morphogenetic substances in crustacea:
Two of the fellowships will cover projects in the physical
sciences, one dealing with a study of reflexes and the other with
the use of lasers. The two fellowships in the biological sciences
will be fore research on crustacea and the role of iron protein
in oxidative phosphorylation.
The 10 projects in languages and literature will include re-
search on Orwell, Shakespeare, Petrarch, Wallace Stevens, Ger-
man author, Georg Kaiser, Russian novelist Saltykov-Shchedrin,
and Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
Eight projects in social sciences will deal with such areas as
the 1936-37 General Motors strike, family structure, the seces-
sion crisis in the South, and forces affecting quit rates in
American manufacturing.
The two fine arts projects will deal with research in 1850-
1900 concert life and the recorders in the Stearns Collection of
musical instruments.

The literary college faculty at
its meeting last month criticized

its ban on sit-ins and its submis-
sion of names to the House Un-
American Activities Committee
last summer.
In a formal resolution over-
whelmingly passedgat a meeting of

was sent to University President
SHarlanHatcher and the Regents.

Zweig explained that because'
the Regents have the power to
make any structural changes nec-
essary to institutionalize student
decision making, student efforts
should be directed to them spe-
cifically.I
He said that the only way to
"put the Regents and adminis-
trators in the mood to give us
ultimate power in certain areas is
for students to.promise them what
they want most: peace and quiet."
He continued, however, that the
Regents and administrators will
be reluctant to give up their ulti-
mate power in areas affecting only
students.
The method, said Zweig, would
be to focus attention on certain
key people who have power, such
as the Regents and the various
vice-presidents, and promise peace
and quiet if they will give students
ultimate decision-making power in
affairs that concern only students.
Zweig said he thinks little pro-
gress will be made through just
talking with administrators and
the Regents. If they refuse to give
students such power in areas con-
cerning students, he said, the re-
sult must be "direct action."
Sit-ins are just one of a variety
of things that can be included in
"direct action," Zweig said.
Another major possibility for
action is the Sesauicentennial. he
He added that the three tri-
partite committees he has estab-
lished in an effort to resolve the
student power dispute "will re-
sult in development of proposals
that can be brought to the Re-
gents."
In other action, the Regents
changed the name of the Center
for Southern Asian Studies to the
Center for South and Southeast
Asian Studies.
When President Harlan Hatch-
er asked Vice-President for Aca-
demic Affairs Allan Smith why the
name should be changed Smith re-
plied, "You asked me that (last)
Tuesday and we agreed not to
bring it up at the Regents meet-
ing.
The Regents also approved a
name change for the Center for
Russian Studies to the Center for
Russian and East European Stud-
ies.
"I hope this name change has
no obvious political connotations,"-
said Regent Alvin Bentley (R-
Owosso). "A lot of the East Eu-
ropean nations object to the im-
plication that they are under the
thumb of the Russians," Bentley
explained.
Vice-President for Student Af-
fairs Richard Cutler gave a de-
tailed report on the French lan-

ternative to class ranking will be
presented to the literary college
faculty at its regular monthly
meeting on Monday.
The resolution, submitted by
Prof. E. Lowell Klley of the psy-
chology department, recommends
'that, if selective service is con-
tinued, the present program of 2-S
deferment be retained on the books
for use, if and when the needs
for military manpower should in-
crease to the point where a policy
of no student deferment would
seriously threaten the nation's
supply of specialized, college-
trained personnel."
However, it urges that any
changes in Selective Service policy
"be made applicable only to young
men becoming 18 (or 19) years
old, thus permitting college stu-
dents who meet the criteria for
deferment to complete their de-
grees."
The resolution also recommends
that draft-eligible males "be ad-
vised as soon as possible after
reaching the age of 18 whether or
not he will be required to serve
in the armed forces so that they
can make more definite plans for
the future.
The resolution was submitted
