AFTER STUDENT PROTEST:
Long Island Chancellor Plans
Review of Provost Incident

By MICHAEL DOVER
Chancellor A. Gordon Hoxie of
the Long Island University Brook-
lyn campus yesterday agreed after
a meeting with students and fac-
ulty to reconsider acceptance of
the resignation of the school's
! provost, William M. Birenbaum.
Birenbaum admitted that he re-
signed in a dispute with the
chancellor over tuition and fee
hikes.
The action followed demonstra-
tions Monday by 1,500 students
against the departure of Biren-

baum in which Hoxie's coat was
torn. Students say he has infused
the center with a new spirit, abol-
ished dress codes, and advocated
fr'ee debate.
Dr. Hoxie will make a state-
ment next Monday on the future
status of Birenbaum, according to
student leader Dennis Georgeoglu,
who participated in the unruly,
demonstration.,
Facufty members had voted
145-38 Monday to approve a reso-
lution requesting Hoxie to rescind
his acceptance of Birenbaum's
resignation.

NEWS WIRE '

During the demonstration stu-
dents chanted, "We want Bill,"
and harassed the chancellor as
he left his chauffeur driven car.
Afterwards Hoxie said, "This is a
day of infamy in the life of the
student body." He did not elabo-
rate. He called for a meeting with
Birenbaum as soon as possible.
Denies Duress
Hoxie denied that "duress was
used to make the provost resign"
and said; "It was an action taken
in the best interests of all parties."
Dr.. Birenbaum's resignation
brought into the open what many
Istudents and some faculty mem-
bers regard as basic differences
between the two officials over
such' matters as tuition, salaries
and building plans.
Although both officials have re-
fused to comment on their differ-
ences, it was known that Biren-E
baum opposes tuition hikes with-
out which Hoxie claims the uni-
versity will "have a $3 million
debt."
Nears Ivy League
The tuition is presently $1,580,
fairly close to that charged .by
most Ivy League schools.
Another source of friction re-
portedly has been over salaries
and also over building plans for
the Brooklyn Center campus,
which serves about 7,300 students.I
Birenbaum also favors the con-
struction of a library, that he en-
visions as the focal point of the
campus and of service also to the
downtown Brooklyn community.
Hoxie, however, has indicated he
would be more impressed if con-
struction were already under way.
Police called the Monday dem-
onstration little more than "youth-
ful exuberance." Students at the
protest had agreed, displaying
placards saying, "Birenbaum is
fresh and everyone else is tired,"
and, "Hoxie is an administrative7
dropout."1

Late World News
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON--Lt. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, director of the
Selective Service System, was forced off the stage of Howard
University's Cramton Auditorium by a group of students shouting
"America is the black man's battle." Hershey was 1urried off the
stage by officials of the predominantly Negro university when 35
students left their seats and moved toward the stage shortly be-
fore a program on "The braft and College Student" began.
WISCONSIN STUDENT ASSOCIATION officials were forced
yesterday to print 6,000 extra ballots for the campus political
elections, which included Vietnam and draft referendums. The
total count is expected to reach 17,000-18,000 votes, attracted
mainly by the Vietnam referendum.
The first clause of the referendum asks for "complete and
immediate withdrawal of American troops." The Selective Service
referendum is similar to the one held at the University in No-
vember.,
Over 45 per cent of the Badger student body of near 40,000
took part in yesterday's elections.
CITY COUNCIL CANDIDATES will be interviewed by Stu-
dent Government Council, Graduate Student Council and The
Daily from3-6 p.m. today in the SGC room, third floor of the
Student Activities Bldg.
THE INTERFRATERNITY COUNCIL executive board last
night discussed the possibilities for reform of social regulations
presently governing fraternities. Specific proposals discussed in-
cluded the elimination of the requirement that all fraternity
parties be registered and a change in University regulations to
allow those over 21 to drink on fraternity premises.
WCBN NEWS, on the basis of their series of debates with the
candidates for the SGC council seats and careful analysis of
their platforms, qualifications and ability to answer questions un-
der fire; have decided to endorse the following candidates: Mark
Schreiber, Michael McDermott, Janis, Sorkin, and Michael An-
derson.
Because WCBN feels that "Tom Copi will not be able to do
what he says, and does not like what Bruce Kahn says he will do,"
decided not to endorse anyone for the presidential and vice-presi-
dential openings.
VOICE POLITICAL PARTY voted last night to set up a
fishbowl table, distribute leaflets, 'and set up a Diag sign in
preparation for possible action at the Honors Convocation on
March 31. U Thant, Secretary-General of the United Nations will
be speaking at the convocation. Voice believes that U Thant is
covering up President Johnson's bad faith in Vietnam.
The April Mobilization, mass demonstrations in New York
and San Francisco on April 15 for anyone opposed to the war in
Vietnam, was endorsed.

FOR OVERSEAS AFFAIRS:
CWA resident. Defends Use
OfFederal Finanil uprt

By CAROLYN TOLL,
"We take government money
because we have to be practical,"
Joseph A. Beirne, President of the
Communications W o rk e r s of
America said, addressing the grad-
uating class of the CWA leader-
ship trainees. At a banquet in the
Michigan Union, Beirne defended
the union for accepting Federal

aid for its international organ-
izing program.
"Anyone who's spent any time
in Latin America wonders why the
people put up with what they do,"
Beirne declared.
"One day the masses are really
going to explode in a big revolu-
tion. Not the well-ordered chan-
ging of the guards that we see
down there occasionally, but a real
revolution-like in Cuba," Beirne
added.
To Affect U.S. Labor

Although the union-sponsored
American Institute for free Labor
Levelopment got $4 million from
the Federal government (through
the Agency for International De-
velopment), it was orginally
founded through the union coun-
cil. Beirne pointed out. The In-
stitute brings South American
leaders to the U.S. for training.
Can Raise Money
"What do we do if we can't raise
enough money to keep supporting
this program?". Beirne reasoned.
