The University's massive fund
drive, scheduled for completion
this coming spring, is over 80 per
cent of the way towards its $55
million goal, but it is still un-
certain whether or not the drive
will really give the University what
it wants.
Almost all the major gifts, which
constitute the bulk of the $48.6
million thus far received have been
earmarked for specific projcts. In
fact, according to Jack Hamilton,
assistant to the vice-prsident for
University-relations, only about $2
million has been donated without
spcific usage outlined.
It is this, general fund which
many feel is the heart of the fund
drive, for this is money given to
the University "carte blanche" to
do with as it likes, not as the
donor dictates. Much of the do-

Class Ranks
For Draft
Petition for End of
Compiling Standings;
Seeks Student Vote
By MICHAEL DOVER
and PHILIP BLOCK
Protest against the University's
compiling o cumulative class
rankings will be !presented by
Voice political party, the local
chapter of the Students, for a
Democratic Society, in the form
of a petition to Student Govern-
ment Council, according to Voice
member Gary Rothberger, '67.
The petition calls for a referen-
dum on the proposal that, "The
University should cease the com-
pilation of ranks which can be
used to decide which students can
be drafted." It also stated that the
' referendum be binding and that it
"should be immediately heeded by
the administration."
The petition, which has been
circulating since the beginning of
registration, contains 1100 signa-
tures. Over 100 of these were col-
lected at the Voice rally yesterday
afternoon on the Diag.
Deals with Students
SGC President Edward Robin-
son, '67, who originally suggested
the referendum, feels that "the
draft question is a problem deal-
ing with the students and should
be decided by the students alone."
Robinson also agrees with Voice's
wish to have the referendum bind-
ing on the administration.
Mark Simons, '67, SGC admin-
istrative vice-president, believes
that a referendum would be the
beginning of an increase in all-
campus expressions of opinion.
Along with SGC members Mar-
garet Asman and Ruth Baumann,
Simons also said he thinks that
the referendum is the least that
students can do to convey their
feelings to the administration.
According to SGC member Rob-
ert Bodkin, SGC may adopt a res-
olution on the subject with or
without electing to hold a refer-
endum. Bodkin also feels that if
a referendum is held, it would
have to be carefully worded in
order to let the students express
specifically what the administra-
tion should or should not do.

tute and the University Events

tions, were not on the original

Provide Attractive Projects
In soliciting funds from poten-
tial contributors, the University
must present attractive ways for
the money to be spent, according
to Regent Paul Goebel, national
director of the campaign. Often
the contributor himself suggests
projects, as was the case when
Ford, General Motors and the Au-
tomobile Manufacturers Associa-
tion gave $10 million for the
Highway Institute.
"We'd like to get as much un-

designated money as possible, thus
letting administrators here decidet
on the most productive projects to1
undertake rather than outside4
contributors who are often un-
aware of changing priorities," says
Goebel.I
However, it is difficult to inter-
est a major contributor in giving
the University complete freedom1
with his money.1
Directing Spending
But Goebel emphasizes that1
"we're not just taking money andl
spnding it for what. everybody
wants. We're directing it,"t
There have been instances when
major contributors wanted to givet
money for inadvisable projects and
Univsity officials, including Presi-i
dent Harlan Hatcher, dissuadedl
them from using the contributions
instead for University sponsored
objectives.I

MONTGOMERY, ALA.-GOV. GEORGE C. WALLACE signed
a bill Friday defying federal school integration guidelines in
Alabama and set the stage for another possible confrontation
with the federal government.
In a prepared statement, Wallace said the new Alabama law
"rips the veil of secrecy from the web of intrigue, bribery and
blackmail by which the Health, Education and Welfare Depart-
ment has invaded and destroyed the local autonomy of our
school boards."
The new law's main provisions prohibit Alabama school
boards from signing agreement to comply with the guidelines and
appropriate state funds to reimburse schools for part of the
federal money they may lose for failure to abide by the stepped-
up requirements.

PHILADELPHIA - A FEDERAL JUDGE ruled Friday that
under Pennsylvania law, Negroes cannot be denied admission to
Girard College, a private school established 100 years ago for
"poor, white male orphans." The judge said the school was not in
its nature private.
But U.S. Dist. Judge Joseph S. Lord 3rd didn't order Negroes
be admitted immediately. He said that seven Negro boys, whose
applications were rejected, must first prove they were turned
down solely because of race.
The decision rejected a motion to dismiss a lawsuit by the
City of Philadelphia and the state attacking segregation at
Girard.

Nadel, who was served with a
subpoena to appear before HUAC,
said the committee exists "solely
for the perpetration of unconstitu-
tional acts," primarily the sup-
pression of political dissent and
freedom of speech. HUAC later
subpoenaed membership lists of
Voice, the local chapter of Stu-

the W.E.B. DuBois clubs, a left-

IMPLICATIONS FOR MICHIGAN:
Await Supreme Court Ruling on Legality
Of Maryland Aid to Parochial Schools

By DAN OKRENT
As the date draws nearer for
the U.S. Supreme Court ruling on
the Maryland State Supreme
Court's decision voiding a legisla-
tive act which empowers that state
to render financial aid to private
and parochial schools, opponents
of a similar Michigan act, Senate
Bill 780, are pondering the impli-
cations of a possible favorable
judgment.
The Michigan law, passed and
signed in June, specifically allo-
cates $4.3 million from the state
general fund to private and paro-
chial schools throughout the state
for tuition grants.

schools, the Michigan bill met its'
stiffest opposition from the Ameri-f
can Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).
Spokesmen for the ACLU havef
indicated that, in the case oft
Supreme Court action upholding1
the Maryland court's decision, the
ACLU will attempt to apply the
Maryland case to Senate Bill 780.
Private School Aidz
The bill, introduced and spon-{
sored by Senate Majorty Leader1
Raymond Dzendzel and Rep. Wil-
liam Ryan, both Detroit. Demo-
crats, was meant to aid Mich-
igan's private colleges, which have
experienced severe enrollment cut-
backs within the past few years

the $348 paid by instate students
at the University.
Ryan, former editor of the lib-
eral Catholic Worker, also points
out that the bill not only helps
the colleges, but will aid the stu-
dents themselves by lowering costs.
Rep. Jack Faxon (D-Detroit),
chairman of the House Subcom-
mittee on Higher Education Ap-
propriations and a leading critic
of the bill when it was debated in
the Legislature, cites the fact that,
regardless of the constitutional
implications of the law, the $4.3
million for private schools cut into
his recommendations for state-run
institutions.
'One or the Other'

gone unsigned, it is completely
possible that the money could
have been added to the budgets
for the state universities."
Regardless of whether or not
the Maryland decision is upheld,
there are many who believe that
the Michigan case may still be
contested.
'In Maryland, the funds were
part of a matching grant pro-
gram," pointed out one Detroit
attorney, "while here it is an out-
right gift to the schools involved."
In this light, it is felt, there are
more grounds for unconstitution-
ality.
The constitutional reference for
the Maryland decision was the
Fir'v+ Ameniment nrohihition on

racial violence that left one per-
son dead, about 25 injured and
134 arrested.
"As far as I'm concerned, I
don't think we're going to have
any more serious trouble," said
Mayor Dave Hall, sounding an
optimistic note.
OAlthough this outwardly ap-
peared to be the case, other offi-
cers and civil rights leaders said
it was more of an "enforced
truce" by rioters than a final
surrender.
Maj. Gen. Erwin Hostetler, the
Ohio adjutant general, said he
hopes to begin pulling the troops
out as early as possible.
"The situation appears to be
normal," he said, "but it may
change in two hours."
The sporadic rioting and looting
began after Lester Mitchell, 40, a
Negro, was shot Thursday from a
passing car. He died a fewa hours
later.
Major industrial plants located
on the West Side operated nor-
mally yesterday with "some ad-
senteeism in excess of normal."
Thousands of workers moved
through the riot area with no in-
cidents reporters, where Thursday
Imany cars and buses carrying
them to their jobs had been stoned.

AAUP Head Offers Defense
