U Faculty Letter Urges ,n Mi]C1 gaI 1 Bomb Halt NEWS WIRE Legislators Call Calls End to Air Raids 'Necessary Prelude' To Early Negotiation By LYNNE KILLIN Over 600 members of the Uni- versity academic staff have signed aj letter calling for an end to the United States bombing of North Vietnam. The letter states: "In accord with the considered judgment of United Nation Secretary-General U Thant that a cessation of U.S. bombing of the North is a neces- sary prelude to negotiation in Vietnam, we urge you to announce at the earliest possible moment an unconditional halt to such bombing raids." Prof. William. Porter, - chairman of the journalism department, hopes that many other universi- ties will follow suit, thereby pro- viding accumulative pressure which will influence President Johnson and his advisors to limit the war effort. The signers included ten deans and officers, sixteen department chairmen, and the directors of eight research centers and insti-. tutes. According to Prof. Leslie Kish of the sociology department and one of the draftees of the let- ter, "there was a wide range of response with all department con- c tributing." However he said that the best response was from the literary college, and the highest academic levels in all schools and in the center most directly concerned such as the Center for South and Southeast Asian Studies. Kish felt that the general re- action to the letter was "spontan- eous and enthusiastic." Favorable comments ran in the hundreds while altogether I heard of only four negative responses," he said. Trying to explain why so many intellectuals participated in the letter, Kish felt that "they prob- ably believed that something wrong was going on and that they want- ed to express themselves as par- ticipants in the academic commu- nity. They want to go on record as intellectuals that do not agree with our present Vietnam policy." Kish said that this was similar to the attitudes and response of the French intellectuals during the Algerian war. The University petition was stimulated by a similar one signed by 462 Yale faculty members sev- eral weeks ago and a Michigan State University letter calling for a halt in the Vietnam bombing that has collected between 400 and 500 signatures.

The telegram stated: "We are all friends of the University who have defended and fought for the principles of academic freedom and freedom of speech. We wish to avoid seeing the University suf- fer from adverse, publicity marring a great tradition and a great Uni- versity." The telegram was initiated by Rep. Jack Faxon (D-Detroit) Its signers included much of, the lead- ership of both parties in both the House of Representatives and the 'Senate. Between 25 and 30 representatives signed the meas- ure, including William Hampton of Birmingham, the Republican floor leader;. William Ryan of Detroit, the Democratic floor leader, and Oak Park Democrats Daniel Cpop- er and Albert Kramer. Nine senators signed the meas- ure. They included Anthony Stamm (R-Kalamazoo), Harold V olk e m a (R-Holland), chair- man of the Senate Education Com- mittee; Basil Brown, Colman Young, Arthur Cartwright, Roger Craig and Arthur Hart, all De- troit Democrats, and Sandor Levin, of Berkley, the Democratic floor leader. He made it clear that the leg- islators who signed the telegram were acting as concerned individ- uals and were not attempting to use their legislative power to "blackjack" the University. Faxon said he spent much of yesterday talking to people in Lansing, including people in the governor's and attorney general's offices. "Everyone thinks very highly of Roger Rapoport," Faxon said. He also said that many of' the people he spoke to were very favorably impressed by an editorial praising Rapoport's qualifications and abil- ities, which appeared in yesterday's Detroit Free Press. -Daily-Dou Horwitz NEW UAC OFFICERS APPOINTED, Senior officers of the University Activities Center for the coming year were appointed last' night by Mrs. Anne Heller, chairman of the Michigan League Board of Governors, and Jay Zulauf, '67 s present chairman of UAC.

A speaker in the University Ac- tivities Center Symposium on the Urban Ghetto, Lynch maintained . that black power could not be {>' achieved through integration, and that integration could only come after American whites had learned to accept the Negro on a basis of x perfect equality. In response to a question, Lynch , 'declared nonviolence to be "down 44 the drain" as a valid premise and defended the use of violence where neeeded for retaliatory purposes. In frequent references to the Vietnam war, he charged the American whites with "national immorality and corrosive ,corrup- : tion on a grand scale." Lynch re- ferred to whites as "perfidious" and charged them with conducting "psychological and physical gen- . ocide" against blacks. This is done in part, he said, by asking Negro youth to fight "another color war" in Vietnam while their families are being de- nied human rights at home. To the inequalities of the draft as a :;.;t e cause of oppression, Lynch added n ; the drain of Negro economic re- sources to support white areas and the "psychological debasement". Comment on Hatcher Talk Some other University officials offered comment on the Presi- dent's remarks last Friday mor- ning, however. Contacted yesterday, Cutler said President Hatcher "didn't make that report (disclosed yes- terday) in my presence." Asked if Hatcher had made any mention of Daily appointments, Radock said, "I don't even remember. I was in and out of the meeting quite a bit to take long-distance phone calls." Regent Paul Goebel of Grand Rapids, said yesterday he "knew the President has been in contact with him (Cooperrider) about the Daily," but said he had the im-, pression that these contacts had been limited to general discussion of The Daily's performance rather than appointments.
