LXXVI, No. 6 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1966 SEVEN CENTS EIGHT PAGES 'U's TFO Successful In Demands Teaching Fellows Get Pay Increase, Faculty Library Privileges By MEREDITH EIKER The University's teaching fel- lows, united for the first time las spring under the Teaching Fellow Organization, made headway i their demands this summer an were granted a pay increase, fac- ulty library privileges, and clari- fication of their eligibility for fac ulty Blue Cross and Blue Shiel benefits. While the TFO will continue t function this fall, efforts will b concentrated primarily within in- dividual departments. Working to. ward ultimate across campus fed- eration with one another, depart- mental organizations have alread been established in economics and history and are expected soon ir anthropology, political science and philosophy as well. Michael Zweig, an economics teaching fellow, commented las night that he felt sure the pro- gress over the summer had re- sulted almost directly from TFC activities and pressures on th administration. Originally told b3 administrative officials that nc pay increase was possible, teaching fellows delegates pursued their de- mands well into the spring ses- sion. Salary Raise The result was a salary raise of 5.5 per cent for first level (first year) teaching fellows and an 11 per cent raise at the second level bringing salaries to $2600 and $2750 respectively for the next eight month period. Teaching fel- low salaries are based on a half- Stime teaching load which in the economics department, for exam- ple, is six class hours per week. The differentiations in the indi- vidual status of teaching fellows is also a summer development de- signed to recognize those with greater teaching experience and longer association with the Uni- versity. First level teaching fellows are those new to the University. Advancement to the second level is theoretically based on tenure- length of service at the University -and superior teaching abilities. Formerly having only student li- brary privileges, the teaching fel- lows gained their long sought after faculty privileges in May. Faculty privileges, however, have been re- duced: whereas in the past faculty members could borrow books for unlimited periods, their borrowing is now limited to an eight week period and they are subject to fines, as students are, for overdue books. Faculty Blue Cross and Blue Shield benefits enable teaching fellows to participate in group plans at the inexpensive rates en- joyed by faculty members. Accord- ing to one clerk in the administra- tion, this privilege has always been extended to teaching fellows, though few if any were previously aware of it. Pressures Perhaps clarifiedonly because of heightened TFO pressures, the privileges provide an unmarried teaching fellow with comprehen- sive coverage at a rate of 87 cents per month since the University itself pays the remaining $8 a month for every policy. The teaching fellows' decision to emphasize and strengthen de- partmental organization f i r s t stems primarily from the fact that different departments demand dif- ferent responsibilities from their fellows. The degree of academic freedom in the choice of subject matter, books, and grading poli- cies varies greatly from depart- ment to department. Hoping to solve many of the teaching fellows' problems within the particular department itself, the economics department has es- tablished a committee which will meet at least twice a semester with faculty members as well as with an executive faculty commit- tee if the need arises. The history department's teach- ing fellows will soon extend a for- mal invitation to those in eco- nomics to affiliate with them and begin the process of departmental federation. Interested in establishing a bar- gaining and negotiating liason with the administration, the cen- tral TFO will seek toiact likeha union though it at this time has no plans for unionization as such. The TFO will provide 'support for the departmental organizations 4 and at the same time pursue de- mon Axuir, nn" na i n n - n. aor.?a NEWS WIRE Late World News By The Associated Press SAIGON-Fire raked across two U.S. military warehouses near the Saigon suburb of Nha Be last night, completely de- stroying one and causing minor damage to the other. - American sources have indicated that the fire was not the work of Viet Cong saboteurs, but was due to a short circuit. Still, an investigation will be made into the exact cause of the blaze. The warehouses were stocked with expendable supplies such as insecticides, paper towels, and paper cups. Total damage was estimated at $750,000. ATLANTA - Calling Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee National Chairman Stokely Carmichael "an albatross around our neck and a parasite to the community," Atlanta Negro leaders have blamed the controversial Carmichael for the Tues- day night rioting that rocked this Southern city and scarred its popular image as a racially progressive community. Pleading for calm, Rev. Samuel Williams, president of the local chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, asked that "all residents do not allow others to use them as pawns. Atlanta is not, by far, a perfect com- munity, but it is too great to be destroyed by simple-minded bigotry." (See related story, Page 3.) * * NEW YORK-The New York Liberal Party Policy ,Committee has announced its endorsement of Franklin D. Roosevelt Jr. as the party's candidate for the Albany state house. Official nomi- nation by the party's convention is expected today. Meanwhile, Democrats nominated New York City Council President Frank D. O'Connor as their candidate on the first ballot at their Buffalo convention. O'Connor easily defeated plastics millionaire Howard Samuels, the last contender among a flock of candidates who originally set out to unseat Republican Nel- son A. Rockefeller, who is running for his third term. * * * * WASHINGTON-Eric F. Goldman, special presidential assist- ant and liaison with the academic community, has resigned from his Johnson administration position, it was reported last night. In a copyrighted story, the Washington Post announced that Goldman, whose chronicle of the post-war period, The Crucial Decade and After, is considered a necessary primer for all stu- dents of the Truman-Eisenhower years, revealed his resignation himself, stating that he plans to return to his teaching job at Princeton, a post he abandoned three years ago to go work for President Johnson. THE FORMATION, in St. Louis, of a National Student Com- mittee for Victory in Viet Nam was announced Tuesday by Michael Thompson, chairman. Thompson, a junior in business and public administration at the University of Missouri, said his group plans to publish and distribute 100,000 pamphlets on 750 campuses stressing the need for victory in Viet Nam. The group will work closely with Young Americans for Freedom, he added. Other plans include an "honest survey of the academic com- munity on this issue," a national campaign to aid South Viet- namese orphans, and a "victory in Viet Nam" parade next spring in Washington. * * * * REGISTRATION for men's rush this semester will begin Monday, Sept. 12, keynoting the start of the IFC's two-week rush program. Pointing out new facets of this semester's rush, Chairman Donald Kaufman, '67, noted such innovations as a pre-registra- tion familiarization program, in which an optional fraternity house tour was included during summer orientation periods. In conjunction with the tour was an IFC sponsored question-answer meeting. Rush will begin on Sunday, Sept. 18, following registration week, and will run through noon the following Sunday, except for the 24 hours between 7 p.m. Friday and 7 p.m. Saturday, during which there will be a temporary adjournment from the rush schedule in observation of the occurrence of Yom Kippur, a Jewish High Holy Day. STUDENT GOVERNMENT COUNCIL will hold its first meeting tonight at 7:30 on the third floor of the SAB. Council will consider alternatives to its present rule requiring submission of membership lists by student groups, SGC President Ed Robin- son, '67, said yesterday. The consideration is prompted by the recent HUAC subpoena of membership lists of several campus political organizations. In addition, Council will likely hold preliminary discussion on the establishment of a mechanism for maintaining closer contact with the Regents, the 18-year-old vote in Michigan, and a pos- sible all-campus referendum concerning the question of the draft, Robinson added. WILL GEER, winner of the D'Annunzio Award for his per- j formance in "An Evening's Frost" in New York, will replace Melvyn Douglas in the role of Walt Whitman in the APA Reper- tory Company's "We, Comrades Three," a Fifth Fall Festival production of the Professional Theatre Program. Douglas is recovering from surgery. Geer will be seen opposite Helen Hayes in the revised version < of the new play which first premiered in Ann Arbor in 1962. Fol- lowing the University performances, "We, Comrades Three" will t be presented on Broadway. Faxon Plans Investigation lent Housrng 'Of Si Republicans Challenge Polley's Role Late Stu Candidates Charge State Superintendent Has 'Knowledge' Lack LANSING ()-Ira Polley. the theoretically non-political State Superintendent of Public Instruc- tion. is about to be caught in the political crossfire of an election campaign for the State Board of Education. While professing respect for Polley's abilities. Republican board candidates Leroy Augenstein and James O'Neil challenged his knowledge of elementary and high school problems. In a joint news conference Wed- nesday, Augenstein. chairman of the Michigan State University de- partment of biophysics, and O'Neil, a Ford Motor Co. executive, so criticized the all-Democratic eight- member board for: -"A lack of comprehension of its primary responsibilities: -"A lack of organization; -"A lack of action." Polley, former state' controller' and former full-time director of the State Associations of Public College Boards and Presidents, "is a capable person with a broad range of experience," said O'Neil, a former board member. "But he does not have experience on the lower school levels." "Our potential trouble spots in the near future will be in the ele- mentary and secondarygrades- and that's the guts of our educa- tional system," Augenstein said.j "Many local superintendents in Michigan have the kind of experi- ence needed for this job," O'Neil said, and they should have been given more consideration." Two board members, Donald M. D. Thurber and Peter Op- pewal, had voiced the same argu- ments in the 9%/2 month search for a new superintendent, which end- ed in Polley's appointment earlier this year. Augenstein and O'Neil, who will oppose Thurber and Leon Fill in the 'Nov. 8 election, blamed the' board for failing to head off prob- lems that are now facing schools.' -Daily-Andy Sacks REP.

Mark Simons, '67, ad- ministrative vice-president of Stu- dent Government Council, was the chairman of the subcommittee. He explained that the resolution that was finally passed by the congress is not the one which originally came out of his sub-4 SDS Radical Education Project 'To. Enlighten Self, Community By BETSY TURNER Education, one of the key con- cerns of Students for a Democratic Society, is the sole purpose of one of its newest programs, the Rad- ical Education Project. The project's immediate goal is a program of internal education, now being implemented in local SDS chapters throughout the country. Its long-range objectives include the education of people outside of the organization. The four main areas of the study in the program include: values and utopia, myth and real- ity, including five distinct areas of study; strategies of change, and students and faculty on university campuses, as well as laborers and; professionals outside the univer- sity. According to the REP prospec- tus, "as the project develops, it is hoped that other programs will be formulated to help relate the movement to workers and trade unionists, to liberal religious groups and to anti-poverty and c o m m u n i t y organization pro- grams." Ann Arbor CenterI REP's national headquarters are located in Ann Arbor. During the fall, study groups will be set up by Voice, the SDS campus chapter. The national staff at present consists of eight full-time staff members. Most of the members are either in graduate school or have completed advanced degrees. The only undergraduate is Carl David- son, national vice-president of SDS and a student at the Univer- sity of Nebraska. One of the immediate tasks of REP is the compiling of study guides on such topics as Marxism, the New Left and decision-making. Pamphlets are also being written on how to research a community power structure and foreign policy. Books which are pertinent to the subjects under study will be reviewed. Book reviews, along with original research, issue analysis, short papers, seminar outlines, and REP program is correspondence among individuals interested in the same area of study but who live in separate parts of the country. This correspondence will be ar- ranged by the national office, and it is hoped, coordinators in each area can be provided. These co- ordinators will be people in the fields of interest who could fur- nish direction to the people inter- ested in participating. REP is an especially important part of the SDS program this year since it is attempting to re-orient much of the membership. Since 1963, much of the activity of SDS has been demonstration rather than analysis. As a result, the SDS drew public attention without changing the minds of the public. By educating its own member- ship and others interested in par- ticipating, it is hoped some true radical change will result. committee. The final resolution says that the government should not have the right to conscript men for military service, but that until the draft can be abolished some method of alternate service should be put in force. The original resolution propos- ed by the draft subcommittee ad- vocated "the abolition of the pres- ent selective service system" and opposed in general "any system of forced service to the government." He explained that his committee supported a strong abolitionist stand on the principle that a gov- ernment has no right to compel men to fight. The subcommittee, said Simons, knew its resolution wouldn't pass the congress, but felt the opportunity to present and dis- cuss its views even more impor- tant. SGC President Ed Robinson, '67, who also worked on the draft sub- committee; explained that he did not support the final resolution be- cause he is firmly opposed to con- scription even as modified in the resolution. Another delegate, Bruce Wasser- stein, '67, executive editor of The Daily, said he favored the final resolut ion, but did not think the draft could be abolished complete- ly at this time. Rather, he said he would favor a system of universal service under which "those who would rather build than burn" would have an opportunity to do so. This would make the draft more democratic. Delegate Ronna Jo Magyn '67, explained that she voted against the draft resolution because it was "not congruent with my ideal" of abolition of the draft. The resolution on Viet Nam call- ing for an end to bombings in North Viet Nam was debated be- fore the congress for nine hours. Robinson termed the resolution "not explicit and neutral in tone." To Examine 'U',Other Institutions Committee Studies Need for Off-Camps Rental Regulations By STEVE WILDSTROM Rep. Jack Faxon (D-Detroit) announced here yesterday that he Is planning hearings by the :House Higher Education Appropriations Subcommittee into student hous- ing at Michigan universities and colleges. Faxon. chairman of the subcom- mittee, said the hearings would be concerned not primarily with housing provided by the schools but rather with "what is available in the private sector." Unlike previous hearings held by the subcommittee investigating tuition increases and university fi- nances, the hearings on housing will not inquire directly into uni- versity policies or administration, he added. Notification Although no date for hearings has been set pending notification of the full subcommittee, Faxon said that the hearings would be held at several schools, including the University, sometime after the November election. Last February, Faxon and sev- eral other members of his subcom- mittee introduced a bill to the Legislature which would have set up a State Higher Education Housing Authority. The authority would be empow- ered to issue bonds, condemn property, and build housing for students at state colleges and uni- versities independent of those schools' dormitory systems. No ac- tion was taken on this bill. The proposed hearings would be persuant to a modified version of the housing authority bill, to be introduced at the next session of the Legislature. Existing Housing The investigation is designed to ascertain the availability and qual- ity of existing student housing and will seek to arrive at a projection of future housing needs. Faxon . said his subcommittee will attempt to "document the sit- uation and determine needs for legislation in the area." Following an investigation' by the Higher Education Appropria- tions Subcommittee into the re- lationship between Michigan State University and the Central Intel- ligence Agency, Rep. Raymond Pettipren (D-Inkster), chairman of the Committee on Schools and Colleges, challenged the subcom- mittee's authority to conduct hear- ings on matters not pertaining di- rectly to appropriations. Those Affected Faxon defended the proposed ,hearings, saying, "Inasmuch as the Higher Education Housing Author- ity bill was sponsored by our sub- committee and referred to our committee, it would seem appro- priate that we continue to show our interest by getting the advice and counsel of those who would be most affected by the legislation." Public hearings on student hous- ing will probably be held by the subcommittee in Ann Arbor some time this fall. Witnesses will In- clude, according to Faxon, repre- sentatives from the Office of Stu- dent Affairs. The hearings will be open to student testimony on the housing situation; "we have always had Man open door policy towards stu- dents," Faxon said. Representa- tives of local realtors will also be invited to present testimony on a voluntary basis. The Higher Education Housing Authority, if established, would in effect provide a form of public housing for students. Rep.
