SUNDAY, APRIL 9, 1967 NIGHT EDITOR: MARK LEVIN 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- The Daily I a memner or the Aoeated Press at d ollegiate Press Servce S;sCrtption rte $45(s serneter hy H rrir $5 by mail; $8$for two semesters by carrie ($9 by mailt Pubished at 420 Maynard St..

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. -GREG ZIEREN 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 a familiar thesis? -D.K. 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. * 4 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.

A 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. -Linda Sloan, Vice-president, Panhellenic Association 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. -James L. Embree -John P. O'Hara III 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. -Alfred F. Conard Professor of Law CORRECTION. 1M KLOBUCHAR'S article (Dai- ly, April 7) was incorrectly said to have appeared in the Minnea- polis Star Journal. The official 49 A206^oL t considered the contributions that non-students can make to student organizations, and was not, in any way, a result of "fear" or a wish to "evade the real issue." Mr. Nissen also states that alumni influence by recommenda- tion is "practically a universal policy" in the sorority system. The fact is that at least half of the sororities on this campus have 4 I I
