LXXVI, No. 2 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 2.,1966 SEVEN CENTS 80 Rejected Applicants Readmitted ' Makes Error OnI * Space Needs, Size Of Freshman Class By DEBBIE REAVEN Due to a miscalculation in avail- able space estimates made last year, approximately 80 students who had been rejected by the Uni- versity in May were readmitted to the freshman class in mdsm -mer. About one-third of these are now enrolled at the University. According to Gayle Wilson. ex- ecutive associate director of ad- missions, the miscalculation was based on four factors. There was a decrease of about three per cent in the number of high school graduates both locally and nationally. The Admissions Office had hoped, said Miss Wil- son, that the rising percentage of high school graduates going to college would compensate for this decrease. There were, however, 500 fewer applications this year than last. Selective Service The second factor, said Miss Wilson, was the smaller percent- age of acceptances of admission. The Selective Service played a major role in that many boys en- rolled in the University to escape the draft, then withdrew. This left many openings, mostly in the engineering college. This withdrawal of men due by the draft situation was "most pro- nounced at schools with the high- est academic standards" observed Miss Wilson. Because of the Selec- tice Service requirement that class standing be in the upper half, male students preferred going to a school where this could be easily achieved. Because of these three factors, the University enrolled about 200 fewer students this year than last year out of the same number of admissions. The freshman class numbers approximately 4300. Building Program Miss Wilson also stated that the University building program is finally catching up with the space needed.When it became apparent that more spaces were available than anticipated, the Admissions Office re-evaluated applications from out-of-state students in or- der to find the best qualified and most interested. Miss Wilson said that people who had expressed an interest in Michigan even though rejected and those who had indi- cated the University as their first choice were considered. Many Schools Open j Another consideration was the school to which the students were applying. Many schools had closed their admissions completely while, others had a number of openings. All qualified in-state students had been accepted, so only out-of- state applicants were involved These students received a letter the first week of July "inviting" them to attend the University if they were still interested. Many of the 80 had already made com- mitments to other schools that they did not want to break, but about 25 promptly accepted the offer and are now enrolled. This is the first time the Uni- versity has had more space than it expected. However the tightening up of the Selective Service regula- tions was a factor that the Uni- versity planners could not foresee, Miss Wilson said. I E IrE au aiy NEWS WIRE Late World News JACKSON, Mich.-At least three persons have been injured in what police described as a "wide open racial riot" which broke out in this southern Lower Michigan city an hour before midnight yesterday. State police were ordered into the community of 50,000 per- sons which has a Negro population of 7,000 to 8,000, Sgt. Paul Rand of the Jackson police, said. Rand said "it reportedly started as a white-colored at- tempted shooting, but no one was actually shot." He said Jackson police had asked for assistance and all available state troopers in the immediate area were being mobil- ized and sent into the city. Rand said at least two of the injured were hospitalized for treatment. DAYTON-ABOUT 1000 Ohio National Guardsmen were on duty last night in an effort to curb racial disorder which started1 with the fatal shooting of a Negro man. The guardsmen were patroling the streets, but no new serious outbreaks were reported. The fatal shooting, which occurred early Thursday, touched off a series of sporadic disturbances which continued last night. OTTAWA-PARLIAMENT yesterday ordered an immediate end to Canada's week-old nationwide rail strike. Union leaders said they would comply and began notifying the 118,000 strikers to return to work. There was no immediate indication on how soon the trains would be running again. Parliamentary action came in a new law ordering both sides to return to the bargaining table and giving the strikers an 18 per cent pay boost. ,' * * * * WASHINGTON-THE SELECTIVE SERVICE says youths wishing to take its college qualification tests will be given two more chances-on Nov. 18 and 19.' Officials said today the tests will be similar to those held last May and June. Eligibility will be limited tp registrants who voluntarily apply to take the test and who have not taken any previous Selective Service qualification tests. - KANSAS CITY-DELEGATES of Sigma Nu fraternity have_ voted to retain a constitutional clause that bars Negroes from membership.E The exact vote Friday in the final session o fa four-day, convention was not disclosed. However, Alan Wheeler, editor of Sigma Nu magazine disclosed that a majority favored removal of the "white clause," but the change lacked the required two-' thirds majority. In order to comply with University non-discrimination regu- lation, the local chapter of Sigma Nu obtained a waiver on mem- bership policy from the national organization several years ago.J The waiver grants the chapter complete autonomy in selecting9 members, and thus it is able to base its membership selection on merit alone, Ken Silverberg, local Sigma Nu president, said last1 night. TOKYO-RED CHINA told North Viet Nam yesterday it has made "every preparation" to deal "joint blows at the U.S. ag- gressors until final victory is achieved." Peking's official New China News Agency said the assur- ance was given in a message sent to North Vietnamese leaders on the 21st anniversary of North Viet Nam's national foundingI Friday. The message was signed by Mao Tze-tung and other leaders, the agency said. LANSING-STUDENT DRAFT deferments in Michigan have dropped by 20 per cent in the past six months, Selective Service Headquarters said yesterday. Reclassification of graduating seniors, stricter deferment rules and retention of most entering freshmen in a draft-eli- gible status brought the drop, said Selective Service Director Col. Arthur Holmes. Student deferments totaled 83,763 in February but were down to 66,668 by Aug. 1. Holmes said most entering college are being kept in 1-A classification, but can have their induction postponedF if they are full-time satisfactory students.t * ' * * -Daily-Jim Hassberger UNFINISHED HOUSING PROBLEMS The five-week construction strike which took place at the beginning of the summer is taking its toll in unfinished apartments this fall. The off-campus housing office reports that landlords are "doing their best" to get their places ready.

Delegates to the congress, which ended last night, resolved that the administration has a "wrong, brutal Viet Nam policy, out of con- sistency with its own ends," which must be replaced by immediate negotiations with the National Liberation Front made possible by a cessation of all war operations. "Our government has made mis- judgments and has a negative policy," the resolution said. "Es- calation has made stable govern Iment impossible" and has "re- ated a climate in which effective' economic assistance is impossible." All-Asian Proposal The.delegates also resolved that the .S. should disassociate itself with the present Saigon govern- ment if that government blocks peace moves. The delegates also called for an "all-Asian peace conference." The congress, composed of about 400 delegates from 304 colleges and universities, also passed a resolution on the drug LSD. They called for a "relaxation in laws governing LSD to enable further research" on it. In another resolution, the dele- gates found the policy of the U.S. in regard to Communist China un- realistic. They urged the U.S. to support the seating of the Peo- ples Democratic Republic of China, issue formal U.S. recognition of China, invite China to all confer- ences on nuclear weapons and open trade relations with her. Condemn 1966 Rights Bill The delegates also moved to "condemn" the Civic Rights Bill of 1966 as inadequate. They called it. "a weak and token response to the needs of minority groups" to have discrimination ended. Another strongly worded resolu- tion condemned St. Johns Univer- sity in New York for action that university took against several professors, alledgedly for criticiz- ing the administration. The resolution said the NSA "adhors the summary dismissal of 31 professors at St. John Univer- sity." Elect Officers The last action for the delegates was the election of national of- ficers. Eugene Groves, who will be a graduate student at Roosevelt University this fall, was elected president. Edward Schwartz, a graduate student at New York University was named national affairs vice-president. The delegates said they were seeking the election of a coalition government in the shortest pos- sible time, and called' on the U.S. to support whatever government elected. Debate on Viet Nam and other issues was cut short because of the' length of discussion on a resolu- tion passed Wednesday, which called for the abolition of the draft. An almost nine-hour debate on that resolution meant that the session, w h i c h continued on through Wednesday and early yes- terday, had less time for other resolutions. By MICHAEL DOVER Project Outreach, a unique psy- chology program initiated by teaching fellows last year, is still going strong, as seven more teach- ing fellows have joined the pro- gram, and three additional proj- ects have been added, Robert Ros- enwein, Outreach coordinator, said. This weekend teaching fellows working with Outreach will give a report at the American Psycholo- gy Association's symposium in New York. The program. is now being of- fered to over half of the students in Psychology 101 and 191 (hon- ors). The students attend three hours of class instead of the usual four, but spend three to five hours a week in one of 16 projects. Increase Awareness "Project Outreach," Rosenwein said, "is designed to increase the student's awareness of the relev- ance of his more abstract class experience to the world about him." He explained that the activi- ties of the students include the study of psychology's applications role of mediator in the dispute, which now regard the students to sociology and law and social ac- working to alleviate the situation as the most proficient volunteers tion such as tutorial work, partici- by finding the students jobs, and available. pant observation and work at by generally being their "big Richard Mann, associate profes- mental institutions, brother." sor, ventured to .say that some Work at mental institutions was Help Appreciated evidence shows that freshmen oft- the primary Outreach project.

Speakers include Stanley Nadel, '66, who was subpoenad to HUAC's recent Washington hearings and Prof. Julian Gendell of the chemistry department. 7 t G } t E X F By NEIL BRUSS The Smith-Cutler Report on the HUAC subpoena and the introduc- tion to a reply published by Voice political party were used by a Uni- versity philosophy lecturer yester- day to point out the two "general defects of the political commun- ity." In the introductory lecture to a course on the philosophical foun- dations of Communism, Facism, and Democracy, Prof. Arnold Kaufman said that the Voice in- troduction exemplifies "what pass- es for authentic commitment in politics" and the Smith-Cutler re- port, "what passes for responsible political activity." sons for the release as given in the report. He said that in these respects, the report illustrates "what passes for responsible po- litical activity.' The reasoning in the paper, he said, shows a "gap between rhetoric and the grip of political beliefs-the divorce between rhe- toric and the nitty-gritty of po- litical life." He felt that in the use to which the processes of political rhetoric Kaufman challenged the rea- is used, "the public is taken for fools." Kaufman added that the opin- ion that not to release the infor- mation would defy HUAC and thus, the body of law that backs academic freedom "is a red her- ring." Both general defects of the po- litical community have one thing in common, Kaufman said. "Both involve the abandonment and mis- use of reason. In this sense, where they collide, it can almost be said that they deserve each other." able spaces. With our over-under- crowding we decided to open the dorms to transfer students," he said. High Demand "But, unfortunately, the demand for space was greater than we ex- pected. By the time we closed the door too many students were allowed in." The dorms affected by this overcrowding situation are East, West and South Quadrangles, Stockwell, Cousens and Alice Lloyd. "We expect to alleviate this sit- uation within three weeks," Ed- ward C. Salowitz, assistant to Feldkamp, reported, "once we find out how many students have not returned. "All rooms will be deconverted but no student will be forced to move out of a converted room if they do not wish to do so," he said. AGE 18 REFERENDUM: SGC To Push Student Vote NOR THFIELD IN CONSIDERATION: -E-~ 1 A two-fronted campaign to in- crease student involvement in local government has been mapped for the coming year by the Student Government Council. During the fall semester, efforts to gain passage of the 18-year-old vote referendum on the state's November ballot will be made through publicity and a possible survey of state political figures. During the winter semester, SGC will again attempt to register elig- ible students for voting in Ann Arbor. The winter SGC campaign will be the second year of con- centrated voter registration activ- ity by the organization.I Residence Requirement Neill Hollenshead, '67, city plan- ning chairman for the organiza- tion, said the campaign planners Under current law, attendance at the University does not auto- matically fulfill the residence re- quirement necessary for voter reg- istration in Ann Arbor. A more lib- eral voter residence policy could result from the state secretary of state, the legislature, or a court decision. Hollenshead said that during the spring semester, SHA repre- sentatives contacted over 4,000 University students 21 years and over. Contacts were made in door- to-door canvassings, by phone and through mailings. Results Expected A report on the results of the spring semester drive is expected during September. Hollenshead stressed that both the 18-year-old vote and the stu- age are capable and politically( oriented. We believe they can and should become part of the com- munity."1 Present H;ousing Views , Coupled with community voting activities during the summer were efforts to present student views on housing standards and zoning. After discussion with builders and architects, the Student Hous- ing Association, an SGC -related organization, submitted a report on housing to the City Planning Commission through the City Council.
