The group, chaired by Student Government Council President Ed Robinson, '67, and made up large- ly of leaders and members of Young Democrats and VOICE- EDS, expressed the feeling that University President H a r I a n Hatcher's statement to the fac- ulty senate yesterday had clearly fallen short of last Mo'nday's de- mands, and that, 'in accordance with those demands, a sit-in had been mandated. Last Monday's teach-in formal- ly demanded "that the sit-in ban 0 be suspended" and "that the Uni- versity administration accept the recent referendum on ranking as binding." Robinson said that "as chair- man of that meeting, it is clear to me that the demands of that meeting have not been met." Ask Again Robinson said that shortly be- fore the scheduled noon Diag ral- ly he would, with a number of other leaders, go to President Hatcher's office to inquire wheth-j er "the sit-in ban has been sus- pended and the referendum has been made binding. We will then report back to the -Diag at noon and, if the requests of the Hill meeting have not been complied with, I will ask those on the Diag to fulfill the lunch hour sit-in. Administrative Willingness A petition signed by the heads of Graduate Student Council, Pan- hellemc Association, Inter-Frater- nity Council, Inter-House Assem- bly. Universities Activities Center and SGC members Dick Wingfield, Robert Smith and Hollensnea stated: "We . . . feel that the recom- mendations embodied in President Hatcher's report . . . indicate a willingness on the part of the ad- ministration to engage in mean- ingful interchange with students and faculty. . .' The petition expressed the be- lief that in light of this, "until such time as the joint problem- solvirng effort implied by these{ recommendations ha v e cler1 faied.' a sit-in would be "inad- visable," In a meeting last night SGC unanimously passed a resolution acknowledging "President's Hat- 0 mher's recommendations as a step toward building a better Univer- sity community." After almost five hours of de- bate SGC statedethat it "desires to work with the Administration and faculty on the implementation of Hatcher's proposed Commis- sion on Student Participation." 'SGC does feel, however, that it reservts the right to select student members to serve on the commis- sion." SGC further recommended that the commission be composed of an equal number of students, ad- ministrators and faculty members and that an additional faculty member be selected to chair the commission. Recognize Delay SGC also voted to "recognize the 'delay of implementation of new rules an regulations'" as stated -------------- - ---- ------ MICHIGAN STATE University wants the state to provide 13 million more dollars next year to handle 23,000 more students and to raise faculty pay 6 per cent. The MSU trustees also asked for $250,000 to start a law school, making the total request $57 million to operate the East Lansing campus for the 1967-68 school year. Last year's request was only $44 million. The MSU trustees complained that the state currently pro- vides a far higher level of support to the University and to Wayne State University. They said to match its level of support to that of the University, the state would have needed to aid $18,500,000 to MSU's current budget. THE ANN ARBOR CITY COUNCIL met last night and heard a report from Guy Larcom, city administrative officer, on an advisory committee on police-community relations. The purpose of the board would be to review procedures of the department as a whole, and not the conduct of the individual officers, and would be headed by Police Chief Krasne. In referring to a similar committee set up this summer and consisting of the city attorney, city administrator, director of human relations, and the police chief, Larcom said that consider- able work was done in safely steering the community through the 'long hot hummer.' A separate review board, consisting of members of the police force, and chaired by Chief Krasne, would consider com- plaints brought against individual officers' conduct. Complaints would come through the administrator, human relations com- mittee or Karsne, who would then decide whether further in- vestigation is necessary. The city will ask the University to split the cost of a study on the Huron River Basin Recreational Resources. Richard R. Wilkinson, assistant professor in architecture and design, will head the study that is estimated as costing $14,000 and covering a period of eight to nine months. The area will include camping and other recreational facilities, and will be in the vicinity of the residential college. AN ANNOUNCEMENT OF the site for a proposed 200-mil- lion-volt atomic particle accelerator, expected sometime in December, is probably at least two weeks off, according to Rep. Weston E. Vivian (D-Ann Arbor). A Northfield Township site is one of six under consideration for the new Atomic Energy Commission facility. Vivian said yesterday he had talked to Glenn F. Seaborg, - chairman of the AEC, last Wednesday but could get no definite' statement as to whether or not the site selection has been made. "I have no reason to believe that Ann Arbor is the winner, but I have every reason to believe that it has not yet lost out," Vivian said. A rumor was revived over the weekend that Ann Arbor had been chosen. THE NATIONAL AERONAUTICS and Space Administration announced the awarding of two research contracts to members of the University faculty. $400,000. was allotted for the -renewal of a contract for the development of laboratory and flight ex- perimental techniques directed toward obtaining data to be used in interpreting satellite radiation measurements. $75,000 was awarded to Joseph E. Rowe, director of the Electron Physics Laboratory for a research project. PHILIP C. JESSUP, THE ONLY American sitting on the In- ternational Court of Justice at The Hague, will speak at the University's winter commencement exercises on Saturday, Dec. 17. About 1,800 students will receive degrees at the ceremony in Hill Aud. THE UNIVERSITY GILBERT and Sullivan Society is mark- ing its twentieth year on the Ann Arbor campus this fall with its production of HMS Pinafore or the Lass That Loved a Sailor on Nov. 30, Dec. 1,.2, and 3. Timothy Adams, the musical director, and John Allen, the dramatics director, have joined together for the first time to bring the Pinafore to the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre. A supporting chorus, plus John Allen as Si Joseph, Charels Sutherland as Captain Corcoran, Susan Morris as Josephine, Judy Rieker as Little Buttercup, Lenore Ferver as Cousin Hebe, Greg Isaacs as Ralph Rackstraw, Robert Schneider as Dick Deadeye, Jim Karls as Bob Becket, and Randy Solomon as Bill Bobstay will make up the cast. HMS Pinafore will be given at a 2 p.m. Saturday matinee on Dec. 3 as well as the 8 p.m. performances on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. * * * * TENNESSEE WILLIAMS' most controversial play will take the stage for University Players this week, as they will present "Camino Real," a modern fantasy, Wednesday through Saturday, in Trueblood Aud. Curdtain time will be 8 p.m. sharp. Williams describes his play as being "outside of time in a place-of no specific locality. If you regard it that way, I suppose it becomes an elaborate allegory." r__ F_ > r. . t~, x 11 . - , . thi _ mn - - la e fhn W m Campus Leaders Say Commissions Do Not Meet Student Demand By SUSAN ELAN The sit-in and rally scheduled for noon today will go ahead as planned according to Student Government Council President Edward Robinson, '67, because the demands of students as expressed at the teach-in last Monday haveI not been met by the administra- tion. Robinson said that President Harlan Hatcher will be invited3 to explain his position as taken in his statement to the faculty senate yesterday, at today's ral- ly.

Hatcher also established three new faculty -tudent - administra- tive committees to discus the sit- in ban, examine the class ranking matter, and study the overall ques- tion of "the student and decision making." Hatcher's eleventh hour move apparently did not placate student leaders who are going ahead with plans for an hour long sit-in fol- lowing a noon rally on the Diag About 3,000 students voted in a teach-in last Monday night to stage a sit-in today unless the University suspends a tough new sit-in ban and abolishe class ranking for the draft. The Import of Hatcher's re- marks on, the sit-in ban is uncer- tain. Administration officials indi- cate that the University will not impose the sanctions of the sit-in ban (new penalties and judicial procedures) pending completion of the new sit-in committee's study. When asked if this is the case, Hatcher declined comment. But In his speech to the Faculty Senate, Hatcher said, "The' general policy against disruption of the Univer- sity cannot be abrogated. Disrup- tive demonstrations are not ac- ceptable methods for expressing protest and dissent in a univer- sity." Hatcher also said, "It is unfor- tunate that the restatement of this point (the new sit-in ban) as a reminder to a few of our over- zealous students, teaching fellows, and non-students became entan- gled with the separate problem of procedures, and that the commun- ication of the Vice-President for Student Affairs came throgh to University community as a state- ment of a new policy, supported by a new set of rules and regula- tions that had not received ade- quate discussion. "This was not the intent, and the Vice-President for Student Af- fairs will delay the implementa- tion of new rules and regulations peinding full understanding and re- examination." Hatcher said that he will ask SGC President Ed Robinson, '67, Graduate Student Council Presi- deit John DeLamater, 67, and Daily Editor Mark R. Killings- worth, '67, to serve on the ranking committee. Killingsworth said last night he will "decline to serve on the com- mittee" because "The Daily and its staff members play no struc- tural pole in community decisions on policy." Robinson is expected not to ac- cept Hatcher's invitation and De- Lamater says he is "thinking the matter over." However, seven faculty mn- bers, deans and administrative of- ficials invited to join the com- mittee will all probably serve. The University Regents who held a private meeting with SOC members last week have generally backed a hard line stand against the wave of student protest. Regent Frederic Matthaei (R- Ann Arbor) said that he "was sorry to hear" that President Hatcher was delaying implemen- tation of the sit-in ban. "I would have liked it to stay the way it is.
