The move sets the stage for an investigation into the matter next month by the House Higher Edu- cation Subcommittee. Rep. Jack Faxon (D-Detroit) said following conversations with University officials yesterday that he was not concerned about the possibility of the University serv- ing as a tax shield for donations to the fraternity building fund. "What we are concerned about," said. Faxon "is the University's departure from the traditional principle of building housing available to all students. For in this case, admission to a Univer- sity owned housing unit will be on a privately-determined basis." Faxon pointed out that this is the first time a public Michigan Uni- ~, versity has built a fraternityI house. Never Provided Plans "We are also concerned that the University never provided us with plans on this matter in the first place." Donations to the University- owned fraternity building will be tax deductible as educatiohal con- tributions. This procedure has been used to build a number of fraternities at other schools acrossI the country. University officials pointed out that the arrangement for the fra- ternity house had been drawn inj line with existing Internal Rev- enue Service regulations fully sanctioning such donor-University arrangements. Following his discussions with Vice-President and Chief Financial: Officer Wilbur Pierpont and Exe- cutive Vice-President Marvin Nie- i huss, Faxon said he was "confi- dent this matter can be resolved without serious misunderstand- ing." Clarification Offered In a related- development, Uni- versity Housing Director John: Feldkamp offered a clarification of the arrangement for construe- - tion of the fraternity.I Feldkamp indicated that he views the plan as a method to "further construction of student housing with funds not normallyI available to the University." k ____ 4, WirEigan 4ailg NEWS WIRE Nomina - M-G :... - -: U - Late World News By The Associated Press JAKARTA, INDONESIA-The prosecution Friday demanded the death penalty for former Foreign Minister Subandrio, charging he aided in the Communist-led coup attempt last year.

WASHINGTON -BECAUSE ENLISTMENTS and re-enlist- ments are exceeding expectations, the Defense Department an- nounced yesterday, the November draft quota has been reduced from 43,700 men to 37,600- The Pentagon announced also that 12,100 men will be in- ducted in December, the lowest total since March 1965. In part, this is attributable to a moratorium on inductions during the Christmas season-from Dec. 16 to Jan. 1. All the men drafted in November and December will go into the Army. The Defense Department said it anticipates that in January it will ask Selective Service to induct about 33,500 men, based on the average taken in the last six months. STUDENT GOVERNMENT COUNCIL last night took pre- liminary action to lessen the confusion regarding student organi- zations' complaints about University policy. The Council pro- posed two methods for challenging policies: an organization may initiate discussion on its own by indicating its intent via a written statement to the Council, or it may request the assistance of SGC in filing is grievance. In other business, a Committee on Rules and Regulations was proposed. Its duties would be to familiarize organizations with existing rules, review current regulations, and assume a general policing function against violations by student organizations. THE AD HOC COMMITTEE on the Disclosure Question will issue its report Monday on the University's compliance with the House Un-American Activities subpoena of Aug. 11. The report, which represents over a month's study by the committee, will be given at a Faculty Assembly meeting in the Rackham Amphi- theater. The meeting will start at 3:30 and is open to all faculty members. Copies of the report are being sent to Assembly mem- bers today for arrival Monday. TWO PUBLIC PROGRAMS will be held as part of the major conference on the death-of-God theology to be held at the Uni- versity Oct. 26-29. Featured speakers will be two of the leading proponents of radical theology. Thomas J.J. Altizer will speak on "The Kingdom of God and Death of God" at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 27 in Michigan Union Ballroom. William Hamilton will give a presentation of his views, with a panel response, at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 28, in Rackham Auditorium- In addition to these two conference programs, "An Evangel- ical Perspective of the Racial Theology" will be presented by John Montgomery on Oct. 21 at 4:10 p.m. in the Multipurpose Room of the Undergraduate Library. WOODROW WILSON DISSERTATION fellowships have been awarded to three University graduate students. They are RobertI N. Audi, Jerrold G. Rusk, and Barbara Weston. ReferendumF Fraternity Presidents Also Agree To Make Result Binding on '- By RONALD KLEMPNER The Fraternity Presidents' As- sembly last night passed a reso- lution supporting Student Gov-A. ernment Council's draft referen- dum to be held on Nov. 16. Theyz also gave their support to the S3GC proposal that the decision of the referendum be binding on the administration. At last month's meeting the res- olution met .with failure. Last night the resolution passed only after considerable debate. The resolution was sponsored by Nelson P. Lande, '67, of Zeta Beta Tau. Much of the concern of the fraternity presidents cen- tered on the fear that the reso- lution would be partisan in re- gards to the decision made in the voting itself. Dick Van House, '67, president of the Interfraternityf Council, said, "I feel that I can express for the members of the FPA a continuing concern that partisanism in political issues be avoided."
