For Sit-In Panel
By DAVID KNOKE
The presidential commission on
the sit-in ban apparently will not
begin operations for a long time,
if ever.
The "Committee on Rules and
Regulations for Disruptive Demon-
strations" was one of three com-
missions -created by University
President Harlan Hatcher last year
to discuss student grievances with
University policies.
While the two otherI commis-
sions, on students' role in deci-
sion-making and on class-ranking
for selective service, have begun
operations, no members have been
named to the sit-in ban commis-.
sion.
Student Government Council has
no immediate plans tor begin the
petitioning process for selection of
the three student members of the
nine-man commission.

Low Priority
SGC has put low priority on
filling the student vacancies be-
cause of pressures in filling the
two other commissions and, the
vice-presidential advisory boards,
according to Jim Benton, '67. SGC
treasurer.
"We have put the commission}
on low priority becauserwe don't
think the issue is as pressing as
the other commissions," he said.
"If anything would happen in the
way of reinstituting the ban, we
could get to work and fill the posts
right away."
He said if a commission were to
decide that the "content of the
ban-the prevention of disruptive
sit-ins" were to become regular
policy, "it might look like a vin-
dication of the method by which
Cutler originally put it into ac-
tion."

Special To The Daily
DETROIT - Sen. Charles Percy
(R-Ill) yesterday lashed out at the
Johnson, administration's 'credi-
bility gap,' calling it "so serious a
problem that it is no longer a
partisan issue."
"How can you believe a govern-
ment that monitors the news, that
won't disclose the true costs of the
Vietpam war, and in general feeds
the public a diet of pablum?"
Percy asked.
Speaking at a press conference
with Gov. George Romney prior
to their appearance at the Repub-
lican state convention in Cobo
Hall, Percy also expressed his
complete support for the proposed
U.S.-Russian consular treaty even
if it means he must openly oppose
Senate Minority Leader Everett

Percy feels that while Dirksen
has modified his opposition, he is
still not in favor of the treaty
and would be able personally to
block its passage if he so .desired.
Percy emphasized the Republi-
can Party's need for a "new, vig-
orous approach to government
which will find a way to live with
the Russians in a world that lends
itself to peaceful competition."

He said that he is not now nor
does he anticipate becoming a
candidate for the Republican
presidential nomination in 1968.
"It's just inconceivable to me that
I could be the candidate. In 1964
I was open for a draft and didn't
feel even a breeze. Now I'm work-

In his only public comment on
appointments to The Daily senior
staff, University President Harlan
Hatcher yesterday criticized The
Daily for "youthful harshness"
and replied to a story on his re-
lationship with the Board in Con-
trol of Student Publications.
On Thursday The Daily print-
ed an article saying that Hatcher
had told the chairman of the
Board, Prof. Luke Cooperrider of
the Law School, that Roger Rapo-
port, '68, was an "irresponsibe"
and "unacceptable candiate" for
editor of The Daily.
In his statement yesterday
Hatcher said that one of his re-
sponsibilities as President "is to
convey to the Board in Control of
Student Publication the concern
of the Regents. This I have done."
No Interference
Hatcher also said he has tried
not to interfere with The Daily,
"pained as I have been at times by
its youthful harshness, and by the
occasional damage to the Univer-
sity which I and other's have
labored quietly to repair."
Rapoport, who was appointed
editor late Thursday, said, "It's
unfortunate, given the events of
the paste week- that harsh state-
ments obviously injurious to the
University's image cannot be end-
ed on both sides."
Hatcher also said that questions
"raised by the Board in Control"
about The Daily are "pertinent"
and "~also of, concern to the
Regents."
Recently, the. Board sent a letter
to the Senate Advisory Committee
on University Affairs, requesting
the faculty group to "consider the
proper purpose, function and re-
sponsibility of a student news-
paper in this University commu-
nity, to consider whether the ex
isting arrangements at the Uni-
yersity adequately serve these
goals, and to' recommend changes
if better alternatives can be iden-
tified."
SACUA sent this request to the
Senate Assembly, which has tabled
it.
"President Hatcher's statement
neither confirms nor denies The
Daily's story on his relationship
with the Board, but I believe it
virtually acknowledges its verac-
ity," commented former Daily edi-
tor Mark R. Killingsworth, '67.
"As the author of the original
news report I stand absolutely by
its authenticity and its accuracy.
As the past editor of The Daily I
find hypocritical his remarks
about conveying 'the concerns of
the Regents' and his own 'non-in-
terference' with The Daily," he
continued.
"The fact is that President
Hatcher conveyed his own 'con-
cerns' to Board Chairman Luke K.
Cooperrider and that his admir-
able record of 'non-interference'
ended in a sbrdid attempt to
smear an individual and subvert
a great newspaper," Killingswortb
concluded.
Hatcher Statement
The Hatcher statement read:
"The Regents of the University,
like many faculty, students and
citizens, have had occasion in the
past to question the judgment of
the editors of The Daily. The Re-
gents have been concerned about
their relationship to the student
publications, including The Daily,
because they are responsible for
them. This responsibility has been
delegated by the Regents to the
Board in Control of Student Pub-
lications, as set forth in the Re-
gents' Bylaws (Se. 31.4).
"One of the responsibilities of
the President of the University is
to convey to the Board in Control
of Student Publications the con-
c ern of the Regents. This I have
done.
"The Bylaws of the Regents di-
rect the Board inControl to in-
corporate under the laws of the
State of Michigan, and they
further delegate to this board au-
thority, and control over all non-
technical newspaper, magazines,
periodicals, programs, and other
publications edited, managed, pro-
moted by students and students

SESQ UIGRA S FINALE:
Collins Performs Personalized Songs
By ANN L. MARCHIO
If Judy Collins didn't have a
guitar on her shoulder when she
stepped up to the mike in last
night's concert at Hill Aud., it
would have been impossible to tell
that she is a folk singer.
There was no hint of tight levis,
unkempt hair or a grudge against
the world in Miss Collins, who
was dressed in a pleasing blue crepe
formal.
Having established herself as be-I
ing part of but not controlled by
folk music, Miss Collins proceed-
ed to display her many musical
talents. This reflects her opinion
that music must be personal; not!
judged by labels or categories.
She feels that folk music by it-
self will never achieve great pop-
ularity. The future lies in folk-
rock, although a few of the best
traditional folk singers, like Doc
Watson, will always be in de-
mand. She claims that popular
music today is much improved,
being greatly influenced by folk
set-up workshops for houses to
compare ideas - like the .judic
workshop we had this year - we
can stimulate, I think, projects
that will go through and be mean-
ingful to the houses."
Miss Mochel hopes to establish
communication between the Uni-
versity community and the Greek
system in her capacity as ex-of-
fhcio member of SGC and to con-
tinue to have Panhel take stands
on issues such as the 18-year-old
vote.
Nationals
Panihel plans next year to con-
tinue to work on problems that
come up between local sororities
and their nationals. "We will prob--
ably tackle problems of this type
in much the same way as we
handled this year's recommenda-
tion resolution," Miss Mochel com-
mented.

said.
Fall rush will be continued next
year but there probably will be
four sets instead of the five sets
in rush this fall. Although no de-
finite plans for rush .have been
set up, Miss Mochel said their aim
would be to have a rush that is
much omre relaxed and a "more
honest presentation of sorority
living."
Workshops
This year there will be a greater'
emphasis on cultural affairs with
workshops and seminars for girls
with common interests. "I feel it
is also Panhel's responsibility,"
Miss Mochel commented, "to pro-
vide cultural opportunities for all
