LXXVII, No. 140 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SUNDAY, MARCH 19, 1967 SEVEN CENTS EIGHT PAGES Approval of New Leases In Question 'U' May Withdraw Certification from Apartments Limited By ROB BEATTIE The University's Off - Campus Housing Bureau has raised objec- tions to a new lease form used by Apartments Limited that would eliminate the lessor's liability in cases of personal injury occuring on the premises. Problems arose initially when the Off-Campus Housing Bureau returned Apartments Limited's original lease without approval. ,The bureau suggested that several changes had to be made in the lease before it could receive Uni- versity approval. A revised lease was submitted with.the provision concerning personal liability in- cluded William Stuede, director of Stu- dent - Community Relations, will examine the lease tomorrow and is expected to make a decision then concerning its acceptability. If the Off-Campus Housing Bu- reau does not approve the lease and Apartments Limited refuses to nake the requested changes in the agreement, Apartments Limit- ed would lose its University ap- proval. This would mean that jun-: ior women would not be able to move into any of the company's apartments covered by the lease. All other students are not covered by University regulations regard- ing approved housing. Commenting on the legality of the clause, Thomas Browng assist- ant to the director of Student- Community Relations, who holds a law degree said that he considered the portion dealing with personal injury as questionable. The key to the matter appears to hinge on the phrase "provided lessor maintains premises," which Brown termed "extremely vague." Brown pointed out that a clause releiving lessors of' liability con- cerning damage caused by wind storms and things of this nature is often included in a lease since insurance against damage from. such causes is almost impossible to obtain. He also explained that lessors are not usually held liable for personal property damage since lessees can insure this them- selves. In reference to personal injury, however, Brown said that Apart- ment Limited's policy was not us- ual. The vagueness of the main- tenance clause made the position of the renter very unclear. The Student Housing Associa- tion plans to ask Stuede not toI approve the lease and to request further changes. George Steeh, a spokesman for SHA, urged stu- dents not to sign the lease as it stands until the bureau has made a declison on the matter. Steeh also suggested that, "All students who have already signed a lease with Apartments Limited for next year or who are considering sign- ing a lease should request that the clause be changed or deleted." The clause in question reads, "The lessor shall not be liableafor any injuries to personal property, to said premises, or said lessee or other persons arising from the building or appurtance thereof be- coming out of repair, oi resulting from accident; fire, windstorm, theft, mysterious disappearance, explosion, freezing, bursting, leak- ing or backing up or overflowing of water, gas, sewer, steam pipes, or any plumbing connected there-; with, or from damage caused by defective wiring, provided lessor reasonably maintains premises; nor shall lessor be responsible for any loss of personal property aris- ing from the above causes." - = '"t STATE BOARD: 3IUJaU~"~O Neil Requests Big Ten Turns Down IN T11Wv"rL Wn1 T CIzToI 'IIEVV) VVIKEt HalItin Biding IlttCobsBru By WALLACE IMMEN plan calls for a one-year halt in A proposal to halt construction n leges and universities in the state, newe constuciti n esat eccl Late World News LANSING W)-State Rep. Joseph J. Kowalski (D-Detroit), the House Democratic Leader, died yesterday of the massive brain hemorrhage he suffered Thursday.

'S " < THE APA-PHOENIX REPERTORY Company has been given a $17,000 grant by the United States Information Agency making it possible for the company to perform at Expo 67 in Montreal. The company will be the only American drama troupe at the fair. It will do two plays at the Maisonneuve Theatre Oct. 9 to 14, but the plays have not been selected yet. According to T. Edward Hambleton, managing director of the company, the group wll have to raise another $17,000 from pri- vate sources in order to make the trip. The troupe will add three plays to its repertory for the next season: Michel de Ghelderode's "Pantagleiz," Eugene Ionesco's "Exist ihe King" and, possibly, George Kelly's "The Show-Off." Helen Hayes has been mentioned for the cast of the Kelly play. The APA-Phoenix will be at the University from Sept. 18 to Nov. 4. MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY President John Hannah announced to the MSU Board 'of Trustees approval of a new policy which would allow for the dismissal of tenured faculty members. Under the procedure, the faculty member would be in- formed df the charges against him and granted a hearing. The policy calls for the dismissal only on the grounds of gross violation of professional ethics or incompetence. Hannah added that during his 26 years at the University he could not recall a single case where the policy might have been employed. A STUDENT PRANK has made over a thousand students in residence halls unwitting subscribers to Life magazine. Pre-paid reply envelopes containing addressed order cards for the magazine were collected by pranksters'during a subscription campaign in January, and returned as regular orders. The processing was done in Chicago and students are receiving the first issue of a 23-week subscription this week, along with a bill for $1.97. The cards were available because Life failed to include room numbers on the addresses. Mail handlers in at least three dormi- tories placed the third class letters on tables and instructed resi- dents to find their own to avoid looking up individual numbers. A student or group of students apparently detached the reply cards and mailed them. Students who do not notify Life that they wish to cancel their subscriptions will be liable for the subscription price, a Life spokesman said yesterday. One quadrangle director has already sent an explanation to the magazine asking that all the subscrip- tions be cancelled. But students who have received the bills and do not desire to retain the subscription are advised to bring their bills to their quadrangle mail rooms or to send in an individual cancellation notice immediately. A $1.000 PRIZE awaits the U.S. composer who can produce the best new march for the University of Michigan Sesquicenten- nial. The Clarence Agnew competition, announced by U-M Bands, calls for an original quickstep march suitable for gridiron and concert performance. It should be in the normal vocal range and have appropriate Michigan lyrics. The work must not have been previously published or awarded a prize. It must not have been previously broadcast or performed in public, and it must not have been taped or recorded for sale. Manuscripts must include a piano score and a full band score. Any composer who is a resident of the United States may enter. The winning composition will become the property of the University of Michigan Bands. All entries, scores and parts, must be postmarked not later than July 1.

By JOEL BLOCK Special To The Daily CHICAGO-In their final ruling on the Illinois slush fund case, the Big Ten Faculty Representa- tives yesterday told University of Illinois President David D. Henry that if Coaches Pete Elliott, Har- ry Combes and Howard Braun are still retained on ,the Illinois ath- letic staff by March 21, Illinois would be indefinitely suspended from the conference. Michigan law Prof. Marcus Plant, secretary of the Big Ten Faculty Representatives, stated in a press conference that "there is no more possible appeal" available to Illinois to protest the decision. The faculty group handed down the decision after a special eight- hour meeting which included a four-hour presentation by Henry. Henry's speech was an appeal against a ruling made by the fac- ulty group on March 3 which told Illinois to "show just cause" why its membership in the con- ference should not be suspended or terminated if they chose to re- tain the three coaches on their athletic staff. Plant stated that the faculty vote was eight for and one against the ruling, with Illinois abstain- ing. He did not elaborate on which was the lone dissenting school, saying, "I am not authorized to reveal that school." The faculty representatives came out with a definite statement on what the suspension of Illinois from the conference would entail. The statement was: "During the period of suspen- sion, should it exist, the status of the University of Illinois would be the same as that of any other non-conference institution." Plant went on to say, "The Uni- versity of Illinois would be sus- pended from any privileges of a conference member as well as ab- solved from any conference obli- gations." Henry did not make any official comment, but indicated through Plant that he had to consult with the Faculty Senate Committee on Athletics and the Board of Di- rectors of the Illinois Athletic Association before making a reply. Plant emphasized that the fac- ulty representatives chose to de- mand the suspension of Illinois (providing it retains the three coaches) as opposed to the term- ination of its membership in the conference because "suspension carries with it the 'possibility of future reinstatement." The faculty group did not spe- cify how long the possible sus- pension- could or would last, nor did they make a ruling on the conditions ofnreinstatement after the suspension. "It would be possible for Illinois to reapply for conference mem- bership after a suspension though if it still kept Elliott, Combes and Braun on its athletic staff," Plant pointed out. "I wouldn't know what would happen if they did reapply." For the University of Illinois to escape the suspension, football Coach Elliott, basketball Coach Combes and basketball assistant Braun have to be removed from their coaching positions. The rul- ing also prevents them from coach- ing other intercollegiate sports or being in any way connected with "the direction or administration of intercollegiate athletics at the Uni- versity of Illinois." Another stipulation given by Plant was that Elliott, Combes and Braun could not be hired by any other Big Ten university after their dismissal from Illinois. The only alternatives averting a suspension that Dr. Henry has are: " The resignations of all three coaches. " The outright firing of them by the Illinois athletic commit- n htees. -* Retention of the coaches by Illinois in non-collegiate athletic capacities.
