The interest in the case is not, however, a fear of future federal sanctions at the University if the charges against the Sigma Chi national fraternity is held true, according to Feldkamp. Sigma Chi has a chapter at the University., Feldkamp believes thgt evidence accumulated in the Stanford case may be useful in helping to attack discriminatory policies of Dominican Walkout Failing in Third Day SANTO DOMINGO )-A national three-day strike called by labor leaders supporting Col Francisco Caamano Deno's rebel regime foundered under a back to work movement yesterday The strike had faltered from its outset Monday. Less than a dozen of Santo Domingo's 40 factories shut down and most of these reopened yesterday. A labor spokesman said he had reports that three sugarmills in the countryside were closed. But this could not be confirmed. The antirebel junta described the strike as a complete failure. U.S. Planes North of I Hit +Iano JOHN C. FELDKAMP cBillf Passed By House The House passed the $2 mil- lion state scholarship fund bill yesterday, but another scholarship measure,, the incentive scholar- ship program, was referred to committee by the Senate Monday. The state scholarship fund, op- erated under the Higher Educa- tion Assistance Authority, provid- ed for freshman tuition scholar- ships last year on an appropri- ation of $500,000. The measure approved yesterday allows for a continuation of these scholarships through the sophomore year plus $1.5 million for new scholarships. The program was introduced last year in a bill sponsored by Sen. Gilbert Bursley (R-Ann Ar- bor). Bursley also was instrumental in ending debate on the incentive scholarship measure. The bill, killed and then reconsidered by the Senate Appropriations Com- mittee 11 days ago, was sent to the Senate Education Committee on a motion by Bursley. Bursley explained the bill was "very loosely drafted" with no limit on the number of scholar- ships to be provided. "In effect, it appropriates $50,000 for adminis- tration of an as yet non-existent program," he said. The measure, conceived by House Democrats, has been de- scribed as an attempt to encour- age adolescents from deprived families to continue their educa- tion. It proposes offering tuition and room and board scholarships to high school juniors on the con- dition that they complete their secondary schooling and are ac- cepted at a Michigan college or university. Bursley said that the funds for the scholarships themselves would not be needed for two more years anyway and pointed out that the bill can be brought out of the Edu- cation Committee in the fall for reconsideration. fraternities at the University. Not Continue And he thinks that local chap- ters of fraternities would generally not continue discriminary policies if they had the choice; rather, he claimed, it is the national lead- ership which is adament in main- taining the' traditional biases. This is allegedly the case at Stanford he remarked. .The assistant to the vice-presi- dent for student affairs said he hopes that Student Government Council and the Interfraternity Council will look into the issues raised at Stanford in the fall. Feldkamp remarked that the Office of Student Affairs could take the initiative in an investi- gation, but it was essential for the future of SGC that their membership committee do so. Although Feldkamp believes that Commissioner of Education Francis Keppel has the legal right to withdraw federal aid from a university which supported with federal funds a discrimina- tory fraternity system, the Uni- versity would probably not be af- fected, he remarked. Keppel indicated last week that the federal government had the power under the Civil Rights law of 1964 and the code of the De- partment of Health, Education and Welfare. Strong as Governments Feldkamp reasoned that the University's anti-discriminatory policies are as strong as the fed- eral government's, therefore cases of bias could be handled within the structure. Furthermore he pointed out that no federal money is used at the University to directly aid fraterni- ties and therefore the legal status of Keppel's intervention would be rather dubious He estimated that although the University supports the fraternity system through $50,000 worth of annual services through council- ing and personnel aid, the money does not come from Washington. Likely Action Keppel's most likely action in this direction, Feldkamp said would be to withdraw money from universities where the federal gov- ernment was aiding to finance fraternities through housing loans. Sigma Chi's national office had suspended the Stanford chapter in April, the same month that the local fraternity invited a Ne- gro student Kenneth Washington, to pledge.- The national contends that "the chapter was suspended for a per- iod of one year pursant to the bylaws of the fraternity for but one reason, a disregard of and an active opposition to adherence to rituals." However, Stanford chapter of- ficers feel the reason for the suspension was strictly the dis- criminatory policies of the na- tional. For example, past chapter presi- dent Frank Olrich of Auburn, Calif. and Pat Foste:, a chapter member, said "We have felt in the past and will always think the suspension was based on the dis- crimination question." ANTONIO GUZMAN Chrysler Co. Supplies ' One Million A gift of $1,250,000 to the Uni- versity from the Chrysler Corp. Fund for a center for advanced short courses and conferences in engineering was announced yes- terday by University President Harlan Hatcher. To be known as the Chrysler Center for Continuing Engineer- ing Education, it is the first major corporate contribution to the University's campaign for $55 million in private support. More than $20r million has been con- tributed since the drive was an. nlounced last November. Expand and Improve The Chrysler Center will great- ly expand and improve this pro- gram, officials of the University's engineering school said. It will consist of 40,000 square feet of floor space on North Cam- pus, accommodating up to 600 students at a time, plus faculty and administrators. Facilities will include seven classrooms equipped with audio- visual facilities, including closed circuit television; three laboratory demonstration rooms; two con- ference rooms; a meeting and din- ing area and a study area. Air Conditioning In addition to creating the cen- ter the fund will contribute $50,- 000 worth of Chrysler Air-temp air conditioning equipment. The University's $55 million program, scheduled for completion in 1967, is intended to obtain private funds for such needs as buildings, scholarships, new pro- grams of teaching and research and endowed professorships. President Hatcher called the new center "a significant contri- bution to education " "Technology is advancing so rapidly that an engineer's edu- cation becomes obsolete within 10 years after he graduates," he said. "For this reason we know that our enrollments in continuing edu- cation programs are going to grow very quickly in coming years." Miguel Soto, president of the autonomous Confederation of Christian Unions which sponsored the walkout, charged "police and army repression" caused the fail- ure. A junta spokesman denied al- legations that union leaders had been arrested and workers forced to return to their jobs. There was a denial too of a rumor that troops of the inter- American peace force surrounding the rebel-held downtown sector would launch an attack yesterday. This rumor cropped up Monday and reached such proportions that some Dominican citizens asked the Organization of American States to intervene. Rebel leaders said their regime played no part in the strike. They had hoped, however, that a suc- cessful walkout would strengthen their bargaining position. The rebels have physical control of about one square mile in down- town Santo Domingo, but claim wide support in the junta-held countryside. Gen. Hugo Panasco Alvin, Bra- zilian commander of the inter' American Force, issued the denial. The commander of 13,500 United States and Latin American sol- diers, Alvim said: "The troops will be used only in situations which absolutely re- quire their use and which tend to achieve the mission entrusted to us in this country of finding a solution to the Dominican con- flict." Negotiations for a political set- tlement appeared to be coming to a head. The three-man OAS me- diating committee, headed by Ells- worth Bunker of the U.S., sched- uled a meeting with Antonio Quz- man, a rebel negotiator. Rebel sources reported that the Caamano regime had prepared its formal reply to the OAS peace formula, announced Friday The formula calls for a compromise provisional government now and elections in six to nine months. The rebels delayed the release of a U.S. paratrooper captured Monday. In return for the re- lease of Pfc. Charlie E. Monday, 22, of Bessemer, Ala., they sought permission to speak with 30 rebels held by U.S. troops. An OAS spokesman said the rebel request was being studied. Republicans Seek Unity WASHINGTON VP)-A Republi- can group headed by former Cin- cinnati Mayor Charles P. Taft has suggested in a newsletter, "Republicans for Progress," that the time has come to extend "the hand of welcome" to party mem- bers who supported Lyndon John- son in the presidential election. ". It is timely to ask whether, as a minimum beginning, respon- sible party officials might not now make it clear that the hand of welcome is being extended- that a political amnesty is being offered as at least a preliminary gesture," the newsletter said. The Republican p a r t y, the newsletter said, must be "broad enough to encompass all shades of responsible political beliefs." a -Ass JAPANESE STUDENTS PROTEST TREATY In Tokyo 14,000 students held three separate demonstrations protesting reopening of ni lations between Japan and North Korea, saying this will prevent unification of the South northern half of the divided country. Signed were a treaty on basic diplomatic relations South Korea last Feb. 20 and agreements of fisheries. State Art Counc To Be Set By CAROLYN TOLL One of the nation's most unique state arts councils is presently being developed in Michigan. The founders have not sought publicity, Karl Haas, chairman of the Governor's State Council on the Arts, said yesterday, since the project is still in the forma- tive stages. But there is a pom- plete program waiting for funds, and some action is expected by October. The major goals of the arts council, as Haas envisions it, are: -To morally and financially encourage local artistic organiza- tions which have proved their worth; -To establish new organiza- tions, and -To provide facilities for small- er communities to bring in travel- ling theatrical groups and sym- phony orchestras. For example, the State Arts Council might provide professional leadership to help a small com- munity to establish its own pro- fessional theater. Or the council might make travelling exhibits available to museums in small communities. Arrange Seminars Another project of special in- terest would be to send symphony orchestras to smaller state cam- puses-but not merely to give per- formances. It would be an essen- tial part of the program to ar- range seminars with the musicians and the students. The emphasis of the whole pro- gram, according to Haas, is per- sonal involvement in the arts. "The arts are not a synthetic commodity for which you buy tickets, but an organic need. We want people to be unhappy if they don't hear a concert once a month," he explained. This unique approach to the cultural development of the state is carried over into the council's attitude toward its fund raising. The government is called upon more for its support and encour- agement than for the actual funds it will supply the council. "There should be a combina- tion of public and private funds," Haas said. "We don't want 'gov- ernment subsidy' of the arts, but public involvement." - Financial Goal .-The council is~shooting now for a goal of $200,000, only a fraction of which is expected to be ap- propriated by our state legislature, according to Haas "Sometimes a legislature needs to be shown the worth of a proj- ect. We will go on in any case, if it has to be with private funds," Haas commented. However, Haas expects that within three years the council will be able to carry out more projects with less money. Since the whole focus of the council's work is that of stimulating local involvement, he anticipates that various proj- ects will be locally supported as they become established. The arts council is composed of nine committees, Haas explained. There are two business commit- tees, and seven others, each cover- ing a major discipline in the arts -architecture and architectural landscaping, theater arts, music, graphic arts, literature, dance and museums. Each committee is headed by a professional man w standing in his fiel sists of 10 other pe field, Haas said.

Arbor By SUSAN MORGAN The Freedom Singers in Con- cert will be featured at Trueblood Auditorium Friday night at 8:30. The evening's program will "de- pend on audience response" said Cordell Reagan, one of the group. Their material comes from the country churches, the stockades, the prisons, the farmer's shacks and the dusty roads of the South. It is none of the contemporary folk circuit. After the Ann Arbor perform- ance the Freedom Singers plan to return to Jackson, Miss. to aid their organization's efforts in the South. From there they will make a 10-nation swing through Africa and finish the overseas tour in the Soviet Union. All the members of the folk group are field secretaries for SNCC. While in the South, they sing to bolster spirits in any place of protest and help in voter regis- tration. This past year they spent which was with Pete Seeger, popu- lar folk singer. The money their concert tours and records earn goes toward paying lawyers, pro- viding transportation to registra- tion !centers, operating Freedom Schools and to provide sustenance for communication systems and for field workers.
