Serious Problem
The September Knauss report
on the role of the student had
stated then that there was a seri-
:us problem in regard to the re-
porting of activities at the Uni-
versity. According to the report,
"The Michigan Daily does not be-
lieve that it has the responsibility
of printing the results of meetings,
committee reports or other items
relating to student activities unless
they are 'newsworthy.' We do not
criticize this policy but merely
emphasize that there is a serious
gap in the reporting of activities
within the University. Numerous
departments have newsletters, but
typically these suffer from lack of
funds and supportingfacilities."
The report considered recomn-
mending a new University publi-
cation, either in the Office of the
Vice-President for University Re-
lations or the Office of the Vice-
President for Student Affairs. It
did recommend that schools and
departments provide funds and
facilities for departmental news-
leters, and that the joint advisory
committee and The Board in Con-
trol of Student Publications in-
vestigate the need for a new Uni-
versity publication.

The first part of a long-awaited
opinion on conflict of interest,
Kelley's opinion struck down the
portion of the State School Code
that permits school boards to
transact business with a corpora -
tion in which a board member
owns less than one-half the stock.
A second part of the opinion,
dealing with officers and regents
of constitutionally autonomous
state universities, is expected
within the next two weeks.
Kelley's opinion is based on a
portion of the 1963 Michigan Con-
stitution which states that "No
member of the Legislature, nor
any state officer, shall be inter-
ested directly or indirectly in. any
contract with the state or any
political subdivision thereof which
shall cause a substantial conflict

Tentative approval was given
last night to the introduction and
first few pages of what will
eventually be the committee's
final report. In this section of
the report, the committee gives its

interpretation of its charge and
reports on most of the information
it considered while working out its
decision. '
The committee must still reach
a decision on its redommendations
to the University for subsequent
semesters before they can draw
up a final report.
The committee discussed many
alternative questions and pro-
posals concerning the possible fu-
ture recommendations it will final-
ly make.
They must reach decisions on
such questions as whether or not
ranks should be made available to
the draft boards on a permanent
basis, and if so, how they should.

OSA Power'
Clain 'Discretionary'
Clause Eliminates
Benefits of Report
By MICHAEL HEFFER
City Editor
Graduate Assembly last - night
unanimously rejected a special
committee report prepared for
Vice-President for Student Affairs
Richard L. Cutler on the release
of student records.
The assembly objected to the
third article of the report, which
states: "Nothing in this document
shall be construed as a restriction
upon the discretionary privileges
of the Vice President for Student
Affairs, who may disclose infor-
mation (in consultation with such
student, faculty and administa-
tive person or persons as he may
choose) to preserve and protect
the reputation and integrity of the
University."
The report, entitled "Draft of
Policies Governing Student Rec-
ords," was drawn up by Assistant
to the Director of Counseling
James Lawler, Neill Hollenshead,
'67, and Roger Leed, grad. They
acted as a special subcommittee of
the Committee on Student Records
and Their Use, "under the sponsor-
ship" of Cutler.
'Spirit' Acceptable
Kirk Grant, admninistrative vice
president of the assembly, said
"the spirit of the report is in a-
cord with the general feelings of
the assembly, but Article Three
subverts the whole tenor of the
report.
"It vests complete discretion in
the vice president."
"Therefore," he continued, "the
rest of the report is basically
meaningless."
The report has not yet been
sent to Cutler for his approval.
The report, in nine sections, dis-
cusses disclosure of and access to
student records.
Four Categories
The report lists four categories
of information, and the method of
disclosure:
1) "Public information -- full
disclosure"; such information as a
student's address, to be given to
all persons who identify them-
selves.
A 2) "Public information-limited
or qualified disclosure"; such in-
formation as employment history,
to be given to persons with a "legi-
timate interest," such as a pros-
pective employer.
3) "Private information-limited
or qualified disclosure"; such in-
formation as religion, physical dis-
abilities, to be given with the con-
sent of the student.
4) "Private information-confi-
dential"; such information as Uni-
versity actions, for which a re-
lease statement is required.
The report recommends that
"except as disclosures may be re-
quired by law," the Office of Stu-
dent Affairs should affirm "that
release of information is discre-
tionary within limits, ... (that the
OSA) reserve the right to with-
hold information when, in its Judg
ment, the interests of the individ-
ual, the University or both, are
thereby safeguarded against un-
warranted inquiry."
The special committee recom-
mended that the OSA affirm "its
commitment to honor the indi-
vidual's reasonable expectation,
whether student or alumnus, that
his personal, academic and coun-
seling records be handled in acon-
siderate and professional manner,
securing and protecting him in his
rights."
Also at last night's meeting,

the assembly passed a proposed
joint Graduate Assembly-Student
Government Council resolution
creating a "joint standing com-
mittee on city-student relations.
"The nurnon nf this committee

By R. M. LANDSMAN
Two University law professors +
recommended yesterday that thea
"University's bidding procedure 1
should be reformed to achieve sub-
stantially more favorable results
for the University." d
The discussion concerned the
implications of an April 4 Daily
article on the 1964 sale of the
School of Music property at 325
Maynard. A third professor casti-
gated The Daily for "an excess ;
if innuendoes and implications
that were not appropriate."
The discussion in the Lawyers
Club lounge before approximatelyi
30 law students in "Contracts"I
and "Corporations"' courses cover-;
ed the handling of the bidding pro- 4
cedure on the Maynard Street sale. +
The high bidder for the prop-
erty, John C. Stegeman, repre-
senting "a corporation to be form-I'
ed," withdrew his winning bid of
$161,500 on Feb. 27, 1964. The1
University then sold the land to
the second highest bidder, Donald+
E. Parsons, for $121,750. Parsons
was representing "Stepar Invest-E
ments, Inc." At that time, John C.
Stegeman was president and "50-'
50" partner in Stepar with Par-
sons.
Prof. Stanley Siegel pointed out
in the discussion that "even
though the action was entirely
bona fide, improvements are nec-
essary to eliminate any question of
dishonesty.
Prof. Beverely Pooley concurred :
"I did not get any snide implica-
tions from the article, and it did
raise important questions on bid-
ding involving public monies." He
went on to say that "this is thet
proper aim of journalism."r
Prof. AlfIed Conard disagreed,t
stating that whether the informa-s
tion was correct or not, "therei

* The bond (Stegeman forfeit-
ed the bond of $8,050) was not
enough to cover the damages; the
bidder could get off by paying
the penal amount.
. " The bid itself was defective
because it was made for an "un-
incorporated corporation," and;
should not have been accepted. I
* A possibility of collusion be-
tween bidders.
Siegel went on to outline the
bidding practices employed by the
federal government. He then
pointed out that "while you could
not impose the extensive machin-
ery of the federal government's
bidding procedure on the Univer-
sity, there are many things that
can be done to improve the pro-
cedure."
He listed as possibilities the im-I
position of larger bonds, "large
enough to cover damages to the
University," and the insertion in-
to the bidding proposal that there
may be "no contact between bid-
ders or .competitors to restrict
competition." The latter, he point-,
ed out, would give the University
legal protection.
