Lack Authority Over
Students and Faculty
By JIM HECK
According to high officials at
the state capitol in Madison, the
Wisconsin legislature has begun
an unprecedented drive that might
give the representative body con-
trol over the University of Wis-,
consin's internal affairs.
Majority Floor Leader of the'
Assembly J. Curtis McKay (R-
Ozaukwe) told The Daily last
night that state legislators feel
t h a t Wisconsin administrators
have no real authority or control
over students and faculty on the
Madison campus. "There is no
question about that." He said that
this can no longer be tolerated.
Resolution
The initial action came Wednes-
day when a resolution passed the
body asking President Harrington
of the university to conduct a
study of the university. The reso-
lution, which passed by a vote of

WASHINGTON UP) - President
Johnson told Congress yesterday
he will order younger men drafted

lottery-type system as part of a
general overhaul of the Selective
Service System.
The new system would place
graduating college seniors in a
"prime" draft pool with 19-year-
olds for one year, after which
their age would determine their
draft status. Johnson said he has
postponed indefinitely a decision
on whether or not to continue un-

The Sesquicentennial Alumni
program interrupted by hecklers
featured Sen. Philip Hart (D-
Mich, and House Minority Lead-
er Gerald Ford (R-Mich) in a
discussion of "The Political Pic-
ture Today."
Michael Zweig and Samuel
Friedman, both graduate students,
were two of about a dozen mem-
bers of the audience who nearly
halted the program protesting the
selection of questions to be an-
swered by Hart and Ford.
Meanwl,'ile, David Baad, admin-
istrative assistant to the vice-pres-
ident for student affairs, said that
if non-academic disciplinary meas-
ures were to be taken against the
University students involved, "the
proper procedure for handling this
sort of thing is for it to go be-
fore the Joint Judiciary Council."
Baad indicated that he did not
know whether Joint Judiciary had
decided to consider the matter.
Kenneth Krone, '66, chairman of
Joint Judiciary, said the matter
had not yet been brought to his
attention.

DETROIT - University Presi-
dent Harlan Hatcher announced
last week that the $55 Million
Capital Fund Drive has surpassed'
its money goal. As of March 1,
$58.651,870 had been received, the
largest amount ever collected by
a public university in a single '
drive.
Hatcher, however, stressed that
many of the $55-M program's or-
iginal goals remain unmet, in-
cluding the funding of the Resi-
dential College. the new theatre,'
and endowed professorships.
"It is common experience in
capital fund campaigns," Hatcher
said. "that the original priorities
are not completely achieved by the
time the money is received." He
announced that the fund drive,.
which was originally scheduled to
meet its $55-million goal by No-
vember. would continue through-
out the Sesquicentennial vear.
