Henry Philip Tappan, who became the University's president in 1852, advocated the "rather controversial idea," said President Hatcher, "that a university professor should engage in research as well as teaching. The matter still is under discussion in some quarters in 1967." The Tappan administration was having trouble obtaining funds from the state legislature, said President ,Hatcher. "then as now." Current criticism about speakers and subjects discussed on the campus may be traced to the Tappan period, Dr. Hatcher said, when "speakers of national prominence began appearing in Armn Arbor under the auspices of the Students Lecture Associa- tion." Subjects being discussed at the University in the mid- 1850s, Dr. Hatcher related, were "shockers such as 'Do Brutes Reason?' and 'Do Benefits of Novel Reading Compensate for Its Injuries?' and 'Should Students Form Matrimonial Engagements While in College?'" The community considered the University "godless" and "morally corrupt" and President Tappan, charged by a newspaper with being "un-American," had to defend the students before the Regents. For all the difficulties of the Tappan administration, Presi- dent Tappan was described by a successor, several decades later, as "the largest figure of a man that ever appeared on the Mich- igan campus." Tappan is credited with setting the University on an academic course which earned for the irnstitution the accolade "mother of state universities." *, * * * THE UNIVERSITY STUDENT VOTE may have been the de- ciding factor in Monday's third ward city council primary elec- tion, according to Tom Van Lente, '67, chairman of 'the Student Housing Association. Van Lente state yesterday that the voter registration com- mittee of his organization registered five hundred students in the third ward for the primary election. The committee contacted these students three times on election day, and apparently most of them voted. Van Lente feels that the turnout of nearly 20 per cent of the third ward's registered voters, which was over twice as large as the 1964 turnout, was a result of the student vote. The voter registration committee, headed by Michael Koeneke, '69, hopes to register a larger number of students for the city election to be held in April. The goal of the committee is to register 600 students in the second ward and 200 additional in the third ward. Loca Prsettin of Experimental Movies StudentEGovermn GFCouncil passed a motion yesterday sup- porting Cinema Guild's right to ~ show an Andy Warhol movie en- titled "Blowjob."

Prof. Abraham Kaplan of the philosophy department and Prof. Bradford Perkins of the history department, both membersefen Cinema Guild, had suggested thaat such a move would be the best way to reach all the people who believed that Cinema Guild was interested in provoking "crisis and confrontation with authority." According to Kaplan, "Cinema Guild is in a situation in which it is fighting for its life." "Many people are strongly hos- tile to you because they think you are shiowing these fim icnr a e tation with the administration the faculty and the police." Kaplan and Perkins agreed that suspension of the Warhol films while legal action was in progress would appear as a mark of Cine- ma Guild's good faith to the com- mnt. .Kaplan said, "unless something is done to prevent Cinema Guild from being used by extremists on both sides, I have grave doubts about your future existance." S"I don't know two faculty mem- bers in mny department who will stand oni your side of the fence unless some action is taken," Per- kins added. Cinema Guild board member Andrew Lugg, speaking in defense of the defeat of the Kaplan, Per- kins suggestion said, "If -we are interested in a living, experimental cinema we are going to run into trouble, and we are going. to be disbanded. We have a responsi- bility to the students on this cain- pus to show the best film possible." Cinema Guild members late last night issued the following state- nment: "Cinema Guild, currently in- volved in two court cases concern- ing the seizure of 'Flaming Crea- senting films of significance to the University community.
