Ann Arbor Voters Beware:
Times Are a Changin'
MONDAY'S ANN ARBOR City Council
and mayoral elections were significant
only because they provided no surprises.
The only unusual behavior came in the
second ward where Jerry Dupont, '67L, a
Democrat, received over 45 per cent of the
vote.
City voters affirmed their inherent
trust of anyone who calls himself Repub-
lican and their similar mistrust of any-
body that runs with the Democratic label.
The city has not been under Democratic
control since 1930, although the Demo-
crats did manage to elect a mayor a mere
10 years ago.
This is not to imply that voting Repub-
lican is somehow basically reactionary or
wrong. Indeed, some of the best qualified
and most able candidates in thiselection
were Republican.
It does indicate, however, that voting
Republican has become a habit among
Ann Arbor voters in their attempt to
maintain the status quo against chang-
ing city and expanding University.
MAYOR HULCHER'S one-word descrip-
tion of the city as "delightful" may
have been true in the thirties and forties
when Ann Arbor was truly a sleepy little
college town, but that description no
longer holds. It is a city which is ap-
proaching a population of 100000, pos-
sessing all the problems which burden
cities of a similar size.
Ann Arbor has its own ghetto with the
problems of minority representation and
recognition. The city can thank its avoid-

ance of violence in this area, not to ai
inter-community concilliation, but to the
work of a little-known committee operat-
ing last summer which has since gone
out of existence.
The shortage of housing for both stu-
dents and Ann Arbor citizens is critical;
transpotation consists of a multitude of
cars which have no place to park, and a
bus system which runs on several miser-
able buses with limited and irregular serv-
ice; the traffic flow throughout the city
has outgrown the town avenues on which
it travels. In fact,' one candidate during
the campaign said that since the early
forties, when he was a student, council
had been discussing widening Packard
Road.
SUCH PROBLEMS have not been as evi-
dent in Ann Arbor as in cities of sim-
ilar ,size only because of the significant
contribution of the University and its
35,000 students which yearly pump mil-
lions of dollars into the coffers of Ann
Arbpr's merchants. Certainly, it could be
argued that without the University Ann
Arbor would have none of the problems
of a large city, but then Dexter does not
have many problems either.
It is significant that all the candi-
dates-four Democrats and one Repub-
lican-who proposed radical, half-baked
or foresighted solutions to the dilemmas
which the city faces were defeated.
ANN ARBOR'S RESIDENTS are basical-
ly interested in their view of the status
quo-a view that is out of date, The soon-
er they realize that Ann Arbor is being
engulfed by the metropolitan complex of
Detroit, the cultural crotch of the na-
tion, and the sooner they begin to pre-
pare for their fate, the better off they'll
be.

Could Be?:
THE NEW YORK TIMES yesterday ran
the 'following story from Camiri, Bo-
livia, of an incident occurring on Friday,
April 7th:
"THE BODIES of seven Bolivian soldiers
officially described as ambushed by
'Castro Communist guerrillas' were
brought to this dusty town today....
"The Bolivian Air Force has been bomb-
ing and strafing the impenetrable jungle
in Zone Red almost daily... .
"There are recurrent reports that Bo-
livia has requested military aid from Bra-
zil, Argentina and the United States.
President Barrientos denies this. Doug-
las Henderson, the United States ambas-
sador, says the only request he has re-
ceived is for expedited shipment of mili-
tary-assistance supplies committeed be-
fore the first clash. Those include food
and communications equipment, he said."r
BEGINNING TO SOUND like re-runs of

The following is the second of
two articles of Expo 67 to be
held this summer in Montreal
between April 28 and October 27.
By DAVID DUBOFF
and RICHARD KERR
Daily Guest Writer
FROM THE PRIMITIVE huts of
Neolithic man to the super
city of the l2st century, man's
world, past, present, and future
will be put on display in Montreal
when the Universal World Ex-
position (Expo '67) open this
month.
In addition to the more than 70
countries that will bring the world
to Montreal through their own
pavilions, Expo's theme pavilions
will transcend national frontiers,
and even time and space, to pre-
sent the Exhibition's theme, "Man
and His World."
The theme buildings, costing an
estimated $40 million, will combine
drama, scenery, fear and hope, and
are likely to be overpowering in
their effect. They will deal with
nothing less than the universal
man-showing what he has done
with the atom, electronics, with
his land and cities, and what he
has done and probably will do
with himself.
ONE OF THE MOST exhilarat-
ing of the exhibits is the majestic-
ally conical-shaped pavilion hous-
ing the sub-theme "Man in the
Community." The exhibit, in the
tranquil surroundings of pools and
gardens (an aperture in the roof
will actually allow the rain to fall
into a pool), provocatively exam-
ines the prime result of modern
technology, the interdependence
of man in the City.
"Citerama," a revolving stage,
explores the problems of urban
living. Visitors will then enter
"The Fnchanted City" where in a
theatre the adventure of city liv-
ing will be screened.
Dynamic tableaus, innumerable
exhibits on urban life, and optical
effects illustrate the results of
the "knowledge explosion" in 'edu-
cation and communications. A
puppet show and various display
panels tell of the rapid ascendancy
of mechanical power over man-
power and its sociological implica-
tions.
FROM THE PROBLEMS of the
individual city the visitor will
,move across a bridge over a pond
and garden to the "Communities
on the March," reproducing on a
universal scale the tensions, fears
and hopes found in all cities.
Viewers will also be given a
glimpse of what the super-city of
the 21st century will look like.
In the last hall of "Man In
the Community" an animated car-
toon demonstrates the difficulties
>f city life, but concludes that it is
worth the effort.
A HUGE, unconventionally de-
signed threestory building, the
fantastic "Man the Producer"
pavilion attempts to answer the
vital questions raised by the vast
potential for production and tech-
nological invention afforded by re-
cent scientific advances.
Located on the center section of
Ile Notre-Dame at a focal point
of the Expo '67 site, the pavilion
contains most of he wonders of
modern, and also of future, tech-
nology including a fully automated
factory in actual production.
Against a background of the
enormous wealth of products man
can produce today-exhibited sus-
pended from a conveyor system-
we see the actual machines that
form and shape metals and mate-
rials to make them. The machines
are not controlled by humans
manipulation levers or buttons;
they are fully -automated, working
from a paper tape.

From an architectural point of view one of the mo re avant garde buildings at Expo is the pavilion
illustrating the theme "Man the Producer." Cavernous spaces in the interior will exhibit the many
intricate products manufactured today as well as a fully automated factory in actual production.
At one point in the pavilion
sands a huge 24-feet cubical box
made entirely of plate glass and
semi-reflecting mirrors. W i t h
strong lights inside, it creates
a mirror-like effect giving multiple
box, stretching away into infinity.
images of the objects inside the
The pavilion "Man the Pro-
ducer" is also a provacative one.
In a section entitled "Man in Con-
trol?" the question is posed, "Will
the machines take over?' Thanks
to advances in electronics and
computers, the exhibits maintain,
man at least has the mean to re-
tain control of his technological
society.
SURGING TRItJMPHANTLY to
life on the Expo 67 site is a totally
new adventure in residential archi-
tecture. "Habitat 67" is a twelve-
story housing complex with aerial
streets, rooftop playgrounds and
private gardens, serving 158 natur-
ally teraced homes.
Visitors will approach the com-
plex via tree-and shrub-lined
avenues and will find further re-
freshring greenery in the broad
ground-floor palaz, which con-
tains space for future shops and
offices as well as an entrance to
lowel level homes. Elevators will
stop on the 61h and 10th floors
where passengers can step out onto
15-foot-wide pedestrian streets,
protected from wind by overhang-
ing plastic screens.
Inside the home itself, the big-
gest surprise, is the bathroom.
Walls fittings, shelves, tub, and al-
most everything is made of tough,
non-slip fiberclass, enabling the
entire unit to be pre-assembled in
the factory.
NOT ALL OF EXPO'S exhibits
will be for viewing, however. There
will be fun and relaxation for
people of all . ages as "La Ronde"
a combination of Tivoli and Dis-
neyland, brings a new dimension
to World Exhibition amusement
areas.
La Ronde is a unique blending
of entertainment, thrilling rides,
good eating, cabaret nigth life.
and boutiques from the four cor-
ners of the earth with ample
facilities for relaxation. It is put
together in. such a way that it
entertainment and different age
caters to many specific tastes in
groups with the over-all effect
being distirctly Canadian.
The fact that La Ronde will be-
come a permanent institution after
Expo has allowed the Exposition
corporation to create a high qual-
ity family amusement area rather
than the "carney" atmosphere
which the temporary nature of
most Exhibition amusement areas
necessitates. For example. a world-
af-tomorrow thrill ride like Expo's
Gyroton, costing $3 milllion, would
not be feasible for one six-month
period.
Enthusiastic crowds will be at-
tracted to such highlights as the
Ctiy of Montreal Acquarium and
Alcan Dolphin Pool. the Children's
World, the Youth Pavilion, the
International Carrefour. the Ma-
rina, the Garden of Stars, Dolphin
Lake and special rides such as the
Gyroton, Sky Ride, La Spirale and
the Flume Ride,
THE UNIVERSALITY of La
Ronde is perhaps best typified by
the Garden of Stars which is an
"all purpose" entertainment cen-
ter. The center's full schedule of
entertainment caters at different
hours during the day to children
and teenagers. and. in the evening,
to adults. It is designed so that it,
can be converted from a straight
theptre to a modestly-priced night
club in a matter of minutes.
Most of the- distinctive restau-
rants and rest areas on La Ronde
are situated so that visitors can
watch the activities on Dolphin
Lake. This lake, 1000 feet long.
700 feet wide and 40 feet deep will
be the scene of continuing attrac-
tions. There will be spectacular
water skiing exhibitions and preci-
sion boat shows several times n
day, evening fireworks displays
and Dancing Waters, sponsored by
Westinghouse, which has been es-
pecially designed, for Expo. It is
the largest and most, complex unit
ever conceived with more than
1,000 different,,fountain effects set
to music and enhanced by colored
lighting. all controlled from a
giant console.
EXPO 67 WILL be a unique ex-
perience for North Americans. De-
parting from the usual commer-
cialism of the world's fairs.It will
provide visitors with an oppor-
tunity to view, in an exciting set-
ting, man's greatest technological
and cultural achievements as well
as the way of life of people all
over the world.

Letters: JEC and Panhel Speak Out.
To the Editor:
IN NRESPONSE to Mr. Nissen's
editorial (Daily, April 7), I wish
to say that not only is Mr. Nissen
uninformed of certain facts, but
that he is also misinformed on
others.
First, he claims that the "Greek
forces" have made a "sudden
emergence" into the University
political scene. I am amazed that
Mr. Nissen does not seem to re-
member that Panhellenic Associa-
tion and Interfraternity Council
not only interview all Student
Government Council candidates
and endorsea slate, but also pro-
vide poll workers for the SGC
elections. Panhellenic Presidents
Council supported the philosophy
of the Student Government Coun-
cil break with the Office of Stu-
dent Affairs and allocated $50 for
support of the teach-in which was
held at that time. It seems to me
that this indicates that the con-
cern and involvement with cam-
pus politics has been a continuing
one,
The Panhellenic involvement
has also been an informed and
rational one. Presidents Council
receives weekly reports from SOC
and, in reference to this particn-
lar issue, invited the SGC execu-
tive board members to speak.
However, the SGC representative,
Mr. Sam Sherman, responded
vaguely to the specific questions
asked of him. He did say at one
point that "I am a novice at this
sort of thing." which may account
for his inability to give concrete
answers.
THE RESOLUTION which was
passed by Presidents Council
emerged after a discussion which
r
1
'
The accusation was also made"
that Vice President Cutler's veto
has "found a friend" in Panhel-
lenic Association. The idea that
Panhellenic would cortsider en-
couraging Mr. Cutler to \exercise
such power is not only fallacious
but also ludicrous. It was Panhel-
lenic's fall rush which prompted
Mr. Cutler to call his first com-
mittee on referral to consider
vetoing a proposal which had been,
passed by SGC.
Panhellenic has shown a will-
ingness to cooperate with SGC;
they supported the Vice Presiden-
tial Commissions and favor the
suggestion for a more representa-
tive reapportionment of- SGC,
which would eliminate the neces-
sity for ex-officio seats on council.
IT IS INTERESTING to note
that Mr. Nissen is himself a Greek,
which would seem to indicate that
membership in the system does
not limit the individual's ability or
desire to become well informed
and actively concerned with cam-
pus issues.

Vice-president,

Contradiction
To the Editor:
MR. STEVE Nissen's editoral
(Daily, April 7) concerning
IFC's involvement in campus poli-
tics unfortunately appeals to the
same gross irrationality that he o
heartiy condemns. He has charged
that, "IFC officers possess such
ignorance of the workings of this
University, they have no business
playing the role of activists. They
are motivated by fear of ideas, not
by a genuine concern for their
constituencies." This is a strange
reversal for a Daily reporter,
whose organization has repeatedly
urged IFC involvement in campus
affairs. As recent as last fall when
the Fraternity Presidents Assem-
bly considered Nelson Lande's mo-
tion to support the Draft Referen-
dum, Ron Klempner wrote: "Their
(FPA) apathetic rejection of an
involvement in an issue such as
that the FPA will continue to ad-
dress itself to the issues that con-
cern not only fraternities, but also
the general welfare of the student
body. . . . Its active involvement
in these matters can combat the
apathy that is all too often form-
ed by a lack of public knowledge of
the issues involved."
NOW, EITHER IFC does get
involved in campus issues or it
doesn't. The Daily can't have it
both ways. We do not contend that
The Daily or SGC should agree
with us on any issue, only that
they allow us to speak. The dia-
logue that would then be forth-
coming should only be considered
as the normal interaction of the
political process.

Damn Students
To the Elitor:
HIS IS AN answer to Michael
Bobroff's letter (Daily, April 7).
Don't condemn us until you know
the whole story. The men who are
working on the trees are not the
men who work on our streets.
You've looked into just about
everything it seems you would find
that out. If you don't like the
roads, why don't you contact the
roads commission? You said that
the cost of living is high here.
Well, us residents didn't make it
that way, the presence of .the
University did.
No, none of us have any love
for the students. I tried to find an
apartment, it's hard to find a de-
cent one. I did find one, extremely
low rent for a wonderful apart-
ment. They would not rent to stu-
dents (thank God I am not a stu-
dent) because of the way the stu-
dents take care of their apart-
ments. I couldn't believe it until
the landlord told me his exper-
iences with student tenants. So
don't complain, the way you stu-
dents treat your apartments they
have to have high rent.
DON'T KNOCK our police.
Since you love to look into things,
innk nn hnw o ,-,uv rnP3'q Iilli nay
don't enjoy putting up with your
"College Pranks."
YOU'RE ONE to talk on morals!,
They are trying to inforce our
moral standards by keeping out
the trash, but every time they do,
you "pin heads" yell "Freedom of
education, freedom of movement."
If you're dying to see a sex movie,
why don't you go to the Campus
Theater? They always have them
there.
The stores have high prices, our
stores count on the students buy-
ing there and they raise the prices
with the increase of residents.
Ann Arbor has some good parks.
I don't doubt that you have been
in the Arb. This time look around
a little bit more and you will see
about 10 good parks. You com-
plained about the parking. and
traffic situation, well if every stu-
dent who "desire and can afford"
cars had them then this town
would be in worst shape.
Let me clue you in, I lived in
Ann Arbor all my life (plus Phil-
adelphia for a year, and Miami
for seven months) and I have
never seen a college try to run a
town so much. Maybe if you stu-
dents would try (I said try) to
find some good in Ann Arbor, in-
stead of constantly tearing it
down you would find things a lot
easier. Look into the community
projects (the city hall meeting
would be a good start) and see
what we are trying to do, but need
some support.
NO SIGN OF progress? What
do you call a new high school?
What do you call a new elemen-
tary school, a new junior high
school, new shopping centers, new
theaters and new people who are
coming to live in Ann Arbor? Stop
looking just around "Campus
Town" and this time look all over.
We earned that award (what
other high school has won State
Champs over three times?) and if
you don't like it, there are other
colleges I am sure that will accept
your transfer!
-Michelle Bradley
submitted "for a corporation to be
formed."
It is indeed the law of many
states, and was probably the law
in Michigan at one time, that
when an offer is made by an in-
dividual for a future corporation,
the individual is himself liable.
However, the Michigan Supreme
Court has held that under the
Michigan Corporation Law of 1931,
an individual who makes an of-
fer on behalf of a corporation to
be formed is released from liabil-
ity if the corporation is formed
and adopts the contract. The court
so decided in the case of Johnson
& Carlson v, Montreuil's Estate,
291 Mich. 582, 289 N.W. 262 (1939).
THE14EFORE, if the University
had pursued Stegeman, he prob-
ably could have discharged his
liability simply by forming a cor-
poration to adopt his bid, with as
little as $1000 in capital The cor-
poration would then have become
liable alone. If . the University had
then sued the corporation, it might
have collected the $1000. That
would be the end of the -chase,
since the other bids would have
lapsed.'
By following the procedure
which it did, the University ad-
ministration was able to collect
the $8000 deposit of Stegeman;
and still take advantage of the
second bid. In addition, it avoid-
ed a lair suit which would have
cost money, time and good will.
Obviously there are many oth-
er interesting aspects of the story
which you have told. I have dealt
here with only one of them, on
which the law seems to be differ-
ent than might have been assum-
ed from reading your report.
