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.

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."

By NEIL SHISTER Acting Magazine Editor 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 Dirksen.i Dirksen Blockage 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." "It is my hope that we will lead.

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 noranizationn.

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. The recommendation resolution. condemning the use of binding alumnae requests to not pledge a girl was not a, statement binding on the national sororities that have chapters here. Instead it in- volved working within the frame- work of the 'nationals to get the the complaint brought to the na- tionals attention Miss Mochel 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 ting in the writer-in-residence the sororities-such as participa- program."
