LXXVI,No.8 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1966 SEVEN CENTS SIX PAGES China Might Send T Troops To' Block Talks Sources Say Threat Important Reason For Hanoi Position - LONDON - Diplomatic sources said last night Communist China has warned North Viet Nam that it may have to send troops to that nation if Hanoi initiates peace talks wpith the U.S., United Press International reported. Accoroing to the sources, the Red Chinese threat constitutes one of the principal reasons for North Viet Nam's unyielding stand against negotiations on the war. There has been no indication uphtonow that Peking had under- taken even preparatory steps for a possible military move into the Viet Nam war. Only 200,000 of Red China's 2,500,000 troops are stationed in the southern part of the country near the frontier with North Viet Nam. Military Alert However, Peking radio reported yesterday that the Communist Chinese army has gone on a "gen- eral alert" in case of the "possi- bility of war." There was no elab- oration on this statement, but refugees and travellers entering Hong Koig reported extensive troop movements within Red China. Meanwhile, China's attitude to- ward the Viet Nam war was clari- fied by a new statement from Foreign Minister Chen Yi. "There is no possibility of making com- promises halfway," he said. This week two conflicting state- ments on China's Viet Nam policy were reported. First, Japanese leg- islators reported Foreign Minister Chen had told them that his na- tion wished to avoid a direct clash with the U.S. But the Japanese sources later modified their ver- sion of Chen's remarks, disspellng the impression of a slightly less harsh Chinese line. Hard Line At another meeting between U.S. Ambassador to Poland John Gre- nouski and a Chinese diplomat, Peking reiterated its hard line on the war, demanding again the im- mediate withdrawal of U.S. troops from South Viet Nam. In his new statement, Chen also accused the Soviet Union and Japan of plotting with the United States to commit aggression in Asia. But Chen's statement gave no indication of any Chinese decision to intensify its participation in the Viet Nam war. Back Ho Chi Minh "The Chinese people resolutely support the appeal of President Ho Chi Minh. The only way left to the Vietnamese people is to fight through to the end, and there is no possibility of making compromises halfway." Communist China now has about 50,000 troops in North Viet Nam, primarily logistical and sup- port forces engaged in repairing bridgesrand railroads damaged by U.S. air attacks. The militant Chinese stand emerged during confidential talks between Hanoi and Soviet leaders. In these discussions, which were held during the past several weeks, possibilities for peace talks re- portedly were given some consider- ation. The content of these talks was kept secret, supposedly to avoid an adverse reaction from the Chinese. Warns Hanoi Against Making Peace Move NEWS WIRE Late World News By The Associated Press SAIGON-THE SOUTH Vietnamese government has banned the current issue of Newsweek mgazine, the government office of military information said today. In announcing that the magazine had been ordered with- drawn from newsstands, the office said it advised the magazine the action was taken because of a two-page article on Viet Nam by Newsweek's Saigon bureau chief Everett G. Martin, and titled: "Correcting the Crucial Error." In the article, Martin wrote that the Vietnamese "maintain an almost total impassivity" to the war and that the U.S. so far has failed to convince the Vietnamese "that there is a cause worth fighting for." LANSING-MICHIGAN can guarantee more than $10 million worth of bank loans for its college students-if they are lucky enough to obtain the loans, the State Department of Education said yesterday, the Associated Press reported. Banks are turning down many student loan applications be- cause they are having trouble finding cash even for higher interest building, industrial and business loans, said John Porter, asso- ciate superintendent for higher education. Michigan's Higher Education Assistance Authority will not guarantee loans above 6 per cent interest. "We have hopes that borrowing from credit unions and sav- ings and loans associations, permitted for the first time this year, will ease the situation," Porter said. "We are optimistic," he said, "that either the money short- age will let up soon or that the portion of money placed in the state guarantee fund by the federal government can be used at higher interest rates." The state guarantee fund currently holds $1.7 million to be used as collateral for college student borrowing. The fund is made up of deposits from Michigan colleges and universities, matched by state appropriation. If bank money becomes readily available for loans, the Assistance Authority expects about 6,000 students will use the guarantee fund this year for loans valued at $4 million. * * * * THE UNIVERSITY OF Pennsylvania today confirmed its decision to ban classified research by proposing a committee of eight faculty members to vote on. the acceptability of all contracts in the future. The committee will have near-veto power over future uni- versity contracts with the government or private contracts that limit the researcher's right to publish results of his studies. The decision to drop classified research was made by Pennsylvania President Gaylord Harnwell last Sunday, following a year of con- troversy over a research institute conducting secret investiga- tions of rice-destroying chemicals for use in Viet Nam. The university cannot legally terminate classified contracts already underway, but it will try to persuade the government or industry to drop the contracts or ease the restrictions to publish. * . * ,, THE STUDENT HOUSING Advisory Board will resume its activity, following appointments of four new members to fill vacancies created by graduating students. Both Student Govern- ment Council and Graduate Student Council will each nominate up to six students for the positions. Vice-President for Student Affairs Richard L. Cutler will pick three students from each group of nominations. John C. Feldkamp, director of housing, stated, "The adminis- tration is committed to keep the board going. We are waiting for suggestions for new people." * .' ,. - BARRY BLUESTONE, GRAD, was selected by Esquire maza- zine as one of seven college "super-students." These seven stu- dents were recognized by Esquire in a special section on the col- lege scene because of their outstanding school achievements that "stirred talk as well as action among fellow students and pro- fessors." Bluestone's 'outstanding achievement" was creation of the University of Michigan Student Economic Union and the gaining of an increase in the minimum wage for student employes hold- ing part time jobs on campus. In the same Esquire feature, Prof. Fritof Bergman of the philosophy department was cited as a "Super-Prof." Thirty-three professors were chosen by their respective college newspaper editors on the basis of possessing "that certain something, making them many notches above other educators in their fields." 'U' Reveals Approval of SC Move * * * * * * * * * Student Judic System Membership Lists Not Required For Official Recognition To ,. By NEIL SHISTER Be Reorganized Student Government Council's action Thursday abolishing the re- quirement that student groups submit membership lists to the University in order to gain offi- cial recognition was described by Director of Student Organizations Duncan Sells yesterday as a move the administration has long fav- ored. Sells added. however, the Office of Student Affairs is concerned because the new SGC policy makes the faculty sponsor for a group the only person responsible for its ac- tions. He called this position "unten- able from a pragmatic stand- point," since it would place tre- mendous responsibility on faculty members, who were not consulted prior to the SGC resolution, and would give them. as individuals, the right to speak for their groups. OSA Veto The SGC resolution technically can still be vetoed by Vice Presi- dent for Student Affairs Richard Cutler. who has until Friday to recommend that it be scrutinized by a Committee on Referral. Al- though Cutler could not be reached for comment yesterday. it is not considered likely that he will ex- ercise his review option. The SGC motion is an interim measure; it was passed to abolish the membership requirement un- til a more thorough evaluation of rules governing student organiza- tions can be completed, This evaluation is 41%ted to be- gin at an SGC meeting Monday night. when SGC will begin study- ing working papers prepared by SGC President Edward Robinson, '67, in conjunction with the OSA last summer. Responsibility Sells said he expects SGC will reconsider the implications of the faculty responsibility clause be- fore formulating a permanent membership policy, and added that he will exert pressure on council to make sure it broadens the res- ponsibility section contained in the interim motion. Membership lists were originally required for the benefit of profes- sional schools. graduate schools and employers in order to allow them to check the validity of ap- plications. But few employers or schools ever check back on applicants ac- cording to a secretary in the OSA and thus the value of membership lists has been seriously questioned. Sells says the OSA has been pushing the abolishment of lists for "a long time" and adds that "nobody wants membership lists," Refuse to Comply Some student organizations were refusing to comply with the mem- bership disclosure requirement even before SGC's action. The Young Democrats and the Economic Society. both sponsored by Prof. Daniel Fusfeld of the economics dept., applied for offi- cial recognition without a mem- bership list, as did a philosophy club, the Acolytes. According to a source in the OSA, administrators had not in- tended to force these groups to supply names and were going to grant official recognition.

OAP, TUSKEGEE AFFECTED: 'U'ExpansPrograms To Ai'd Needy Students By MARK LEVIN Expansion and refinement of both the Opportunity Awards and Tuskegee Student-Faculty Ex- change Programs are underway, according to University adminis- trators. Under titles three and four of the Federal Higher Education Act, new monies in large quantities are being made available to the Uni- versity for both projects. The OAP was initiated in 1964 to help put the University within the reach of those students com- ing from low--income families. The program is now assisting over 90 students, compared to the 64 who registered in the fall of 1965. However, the OAP has become more than merely a scholarship program, according to Robert L. Marion, assistant director ofad- missions. The OAP, said Marion, has given Negro communities throughout the.-state visual evi- dence that the University is con- cerned. Marion said that expansion of the OAP was aided considerably by the influx of federal funds. He said he hoped that the Uni- versity could expand the program again next year, but that many other colleges and universities throughout the nation are becom- ing engaged in similar activities so that the *funds may not be available. Marion estimated that there are presently 450 Negro students on campus, but that no exact figure is available since the University does not ask for racial designation on any of its administrative forms. He said that this was an increase of about 50 students over the pre- vious year. In its first two years of opera- tion, statistics appear to indicate that the OAP has not been to- tally successful. Of the 70 stu- dents who received OAP grants in the fall of 1964, only 37 are still enrolled at the University. However, 50 of the 64 who receiv- ed OAP assistance in 1965 have registered for this year's fall se- have bright prospects because of the increased availability of funds. The program, which last year sent eight students to Tuskegee in numerous academic fields, will re- ceive federal appropriations under provisions aimed at assisting de- veloping and expanding institu- tions. Dr. Rudolf Schmerl, formerly di- rector of program development for the office of research admin- istration, was instrumental in the preparation of Tuskegee's propos- al submitted to the federal gov- ernment. Schmerl has recently left the University for a year of teach- ing at the Institute. According to John Chavis, cam- pus coordinator for the project, many new programs are being con- sidered for Tuskegee, including a rotating professorship and- a visit- ing scholars seminar. He said that the psychology department, in particular, has shown interest in the possibility of creating a rotat- ing professorship at Tuskegee, whereby a different professor would lecture each week. Greater joint use of facilities. and the possibility of library cat- alogue exchanges and supplemen- tations are also being considered, he said. The University, Chavis added, hopes to send 12 students to Tuskegee for their winter se- mester but he is not sure what response the project will receive from the student body. The University's student judici- ary system is presently being re- organized. According to Mrs. Shirley Strong, assistant to the director of stu- dent organizations, a tentative outline for a new judiciary struc- ture has already been formulated, but the details of the system are still being worked out. To date, the reorganization has been confined largely to the of- fice of student affairs, but Dun- gan Sells, director of student or- ganzations, said that various stu- dent leaders will soon be called to meetings so that they can advise and helpdevelop theplan. Associate Dean James Robert.. son of the literary college Indicat- ed last night that he hopes "there will be an opportunity for a °re- view and discussion, which would include faculty" before permanent changes are made because the fac- ulty is concerned with any altera- tion in the judiciary structure which would affect jurisdiction over the academic status of stu- dents. The proposed changes in the ju- diciary system include shifting the final appellate responsibility from the deans of the individual col- leges to the vice-president for stu- dent affairs. . According to Mrs. Strong, the problems in the judiciary system have been evident for over a year. "When Mr. Sells became direc- tor of student organizations last fall, he found that the role of Joint Judiciary Council had not been given the responsibility it might have and the cases that Joint Judic handled were not ap- propriate for the University to judge," she said. Sells explained that he decided, with the approval of Vice-Presi- dent for Student Affairs Richard Cutler and the members of Joint Judic, that Joint Judic would no longer hear the cases of students who had been tried and found guilty in civil court actions. "Actually when these students were being tried before Judi, they were being tried twice for one of- fense. We decided that this consti- tuted a type of 'double jeopardy so we eliminated our reviewing the case except where the civil case seriously affected the -student's standing at the University," Sells said. A case last year, in which Joint Judic recommended expulsion of a student for possession of mari- juana, was the stimulus for the present review. Sells then began to investigate. "After thoroughly searching the by-laws, we found that our prac- tice was 'worlds apart from the authority of the by-laws. We dis- covered that the actual authority to discipline students went from the Regents to President Hatcher and then stopped. "We were amazed to find out that Vice-President Cutler had absolutely no. power to handle demitting cases (cases involving expulsion or suspension of stu- .dents). This power only rested with the deans of the college in- volved," he said. In -order to clear up this con- fusion, President Hatcher wrote a letter to Cutler this summer in which Hatcher delegated his power Mn handle non-academi diieili- McClellandPledges, Greater CRC Study ADDITIONAL FUNDS RECEIVED: Artificial Tooth Utilized to Record Data In Research Project on Tooth Decay By DAVID KNOKE The Conflict Research Center, now under new leadership, hopes to breathe life into a program of directed research for University graduate students. Newest of the Center's spon- sored activities is the Theory and Method seminar, to be initiated this semester, which will focus on upgrading the quality of research in international and related con- flict studies. The bi-monthly seminar will be conducted jointly by Prof. J. David Singer and Prof. Charles A. McClelland, both of the po- litical science department. Mc- Clelland was recently appointed. director of the Center replacing Prof. Kenneth Boulding of the economics department. Boulding held the directorship during the 1965-66 academic year. McClelland came to the Univer- sity this fall from the University of Southern California where he tanht at thA Shnnl nf Tnterna- The Theory and Method seminar hopes to provide a common meet- ing ground for students of var- ious academic backgrounds in- terested in the Center's activities. Its composition and course of study will reflect the Center's in- terdisciplinary approach, with em- phasis on all varieties ofaconflict. The seminar carries no academic credit and is characterized by Mc- Clelland as "experimental and ex- ploratory." "We want to inform students about what sorts of research can be improved and expanded and we hope to generate independent and original approaches to con- flict resolution," McClelland said.. "We hope -eventually to expand our research output to the point where graduate students can work in a capacity so that they can learn their craft by working in, collaboration with senior faculty." McClelland indicated that sev- eral social science departments of By STEPHEN FIRSHEIN I wanted the tooth, the whole tooth, and nothing but the tooth -so I went to "Peyton Place."
