lWSU CONTROVERSY:
Democratic Group Explained

Rebels Ask 'Active' Hanoi Help;

By JOHN MEREDITH
Some new light was shed on the
political controversy at Michigan
State University yesterday as a
prominent Ann Arbor Democrat
explained the nature of a party
group involved in the dispute and
a member of the MSU Board of
Trustees clarified some of his ear-
lier statements.
The Committee on Higher Edu-
bation for the Democratic Party in
Michigan is being formed "to draw
people from the state's schools to
formulate positions for the party,
not to tell state universities how
to run their business," Prof. Ger-
hard Weinberg of the history de-
partment said.
A June 17 meeting at MSU to
begin organizing a campus chap-
ter of the proposed education com-
mittee had been cited Wednes-
day in MSU's student news-
paper as evidence of a Democrat-
ic campaign to increase the par-
ty's influence over tax-supported
universities.
"The committee is merely an

attempt to give organization to
the kind of help solicited from fac-
ulty on an informal, ad hoc bas-
is in the past," Weinberg, a mem-
ber of the Democratic State Cen-
tral Committee, said.
"Because higher education in
Michigan is largely a public func-
tfon, most of the faculty advising
the party are from state univer-
sities," he continued. This, he sug-
gested, may be at the root of the
problem at MSU-that is, the in-
evitable preponderance of state
university faculty members may
have resulted in confusion about
the purpose of the proposed com-
mittee.
According to State Democratic
Chairman Zolton Ferency, groups
to advise the party will be formed
eventually at all, or at least
most, college and university cam-
puses in Michigan. He indicated
that organizational efforts at the
University will probably begin in
the fall.
Almost Complete
Organization of the MSU group
is now almost completed, and it

RECEIVE GRANTS:
Under grad utes To
Conduct Research
By BARBARA SEYFRIED
Learning is an experience, and the National Science Foundation
in coordination with university professors is endeavoring to make
it more so.
Rep. Weston E. Vivian (D-Ann Arbor) announced recently that
the chemistry department had received a grant of $21,800 to finance
research projects conducted by undergraduates. The zoology depart-
ment also received a grant of $21,000 for the same type of program.
According to Prof. Robert Taylor of the chemistry department
and director of the chemistry department's project, this is the fourth

will serve as a model for similar
committees at other institutions,
Ferency explained. The initial ef-
fort is being made at MSU be-
cause its campus is convenient to
Democratic headquarters in Lans-
ing and because of personal con-
tacts at the school.
Both Ferency and Weinberg
said that education undoubtedly
will be one topic considered by
the groups, but that their involve-
ment will be strictly limited to ad-
vising the party on policy posi-
tions.
Stephen Nisbet, one of two Re-
publican members of MSU's Board
of Trustees, said last night that
statements attributed to him in
the State News' article should not
be interpreted as allegations
against the Democratic Party.
Partisan Basis
Nisbet was quoted as saying 7
that he "is disturbed the Demo-1
crats are trying to organize the
faculty on a partisan basis be-
cause higher education should be
non-partisan."
Last night, Nisbet said he "ob-;
jects to the Democratic Party or1
Democrats on the board trying
to organize the faculty on a par-;
tisan basis if this is the case, but,
I have no personal knowledge of
the meeting in question."
The if clause in this comment,
is vital, he said ,emphasizing that,
in his earlier statement he was
only objecting to running the uni-.
versity on a partisan basis, not
himself accusing the Democrats,
of playing politics.
Restrict Board
Referring to charges by Frank'
(Merriman that the board has
become too involved in running
the university, Nisbet said he
agrees the board should restrict
itself to laying down general
policy guidelines but does not
think the trustees have interven-
ed too much in the past.
Charles Wells, State News edi-
tor-in-chief and author of the
controversial article, has stood by
his story. Wells said yesterday that
no one has exerted any pressure on
him or attempted to discipline him
since the article appeared.

Says Delay
Encourages

Communists
SANTO DOMINGO (RP)-Former
President Joaquin Balaguer con-
tended yesterday the delay in
settling the Dominican crisis is
encouraging Communist expan-
sion in the Dominican Republic
and increasing distrust in the
Organization of American States.
The remarks, in a printed leaf-
let distributed through this city
by his Reformist Party, offered no
details as to how Communist ex-
pansion might be manifesting it-
self.
Balaguer blamed'what he called
two minority groups-the extreme
left and ultra conservative right-
for delays in solving the three-
months-old problem.
In the leaflet the ex-president
called for public support of the
OAS formula to create a provi-
sional government as a first step
toward general elections. So far
the three-man political committee
of the OAS has made little ap-
parent progress.
While supporting the OAS peace
formula, Balaguer was critical of
the inter-American peace forces
for acts he said made their pres-
ence "more hateful day by day."
The existence of the military
supply corridor that divides Santo
Domingo, he said, has become a
"source of friction between the
civilian population and the
soldiers."
Balaguer also cited economic
deterioration and loss of faith by
domestic and foreign investors as
results of the prolonged crisis.

successive grant the University
has received to conduct this type
of program in chemistry.
Problems to Study
He explained that undergradu-
ates usually work on problems
proposed by chemistry professors
which they run across in their
work. The problems may be of a
minor nature such that the pro-
fessor does not want to have a
PhD candidate spend his time ar-
riving at a solution.
For this reason, these problems
are ideal for the undergraduate
student, Taylor noted. They do
not take up a great deal of the
student's time, a minimum of two
afternoons a week during the
regular school year, yet they pro-
vide the student with an intro-
duction to the "non-routine" of
original research.
Taylor emphasized that these
research studies differ consider-
ably from problems proposed by
a professor in a chemistry class,
to which the answers are already
known.
Does Not Know
In this case, he said, the pro-
fessor proposing the problem does
not know the answer. He is rely-
ing on the student to find the
information out. The student has
no criterion to determine whether
the results are what they should
be. In this case neither the stu-
dent nor theaprofessor know the
answer, he said.
The results from the experi-
ments run by the undergraduates
are taken very seriously, Taylor
said. Many of them are published,
he emphasized; sometimes as a
separate paper and sometimes as
part of another paper.
During the academic year, us-
ually 15 to 20 students are work-
ing on this type of program.

the German attacks did nothing

Want Me n

Viet Cong Indicate
Desire To Step Up
Resistance in South
By The Associated Press
TOKYO--The political front of
the Viet Cong, the National Lib-
eration Fron, has asked North
Viet Nam for active assistance
against the Americans in the
South, and to prepare to send men
into battle, Hanoi radio said yes-
terday.
Hanoi, which has said it would
send volunteers if asked, quoted
a Viet Cong statement as saying
the guerrillas want help "to in-
crease our forces and step up the
resistance of the war 10 times
more vigorously. .
.Up to now, North Viet Nam has
disclaimed direct involvement in
the war, although United States
officials say units of the North's
I regular army have been identified
in the South and that there has
a been steady infiltration.
At the same time the Hanoi
statement was released, the Soviet
- Union declared in a formal state-
a ment through Tass; that the
e 50,000 additional American troops
t ordered to Viet Nam are intended
- to "break the will of the people

Demonstrators
Protest Policy
Of .Asian War
WASHINGTON (i' --Several
hundred critics of United States
policies in Viet Nam sweltered
through what their. leaders called
a "civil disobedience" demonstra-
tion in front of the White House
yesterday.
Some sat on the sidewalk while
others milled around in 90-degree
weather after trying unsuccess-
fully, to send a 100-member dele-
gation in to see President Lyndon
B. Johnson
The sit-down followed a four-
hour rally in Lafayette Park,j
across the street from the White
House. Speakers denounced the
fighting in Viet Nam, called for
the admission of Red China to
the United Nations, and noted
that this was the 20th anniver-
sary of the dropping of an atomic
bomb on Hiroshima.
City police were assigned in
large numbers to reinforce the
rglrWhite House security de-
tail, but their only official activ-
ity was to arrest one youth who
tried to throw a bag of water.
Police commanders estimated
the demonstrators n ul m b e r e d

The Soviet news agency said it
had been "authorized to state that
the decision of the U.S. govern-
ment to dispatch another 50,000
soldiers to Viet Nam is regarded
in the leading USSR circles as an
aggressive act tending to widen
the war in Viet Nam.
"The statesmen who frame
United States policy should have
no delusions that American ag-
gression would go unpunighed,"
it said.
Other action included a deci-
sion . of South Korea's defense
ministry to send one combat divi-
sion of about 15,000 men to South
Viet Nam.
Meanwhile the U.S. ambassador
to Japan, Edwin O. Reischauer,
warned that the Viet Nam war
represents trouble for Japanese-
American relations.
He said he believed that until
recently Japan had "finally been
getting over the .stigma of defeat
and the embarrassment over the
past" and had been reaching for
a more "positive and independent"
role in the world.
He said the American bomb-
ings in Viet Nam worried the
Japanese and made the outside
world look more dangerous than
before. It made a close relation-
ship with the U.S. seem less de-
sirable to many Japanese, he said.
Meanwhile in Saigon, a govern-
ment spokesman said Lt. Gen.
Nguyen Khanh, former prime
minister and armed forces chief,
is being ousted from his post as
roving ambassador and being re-
called to South Viet Nam for in-
vestigation.
The spokesman did not make
clear the grounds Khanh would
be investigated on and did not
indicate whether Khanh would
heed the call to return.
The Hanoi statement also urged
all "the Indochinese peoples to
unite and assist one another to
resist the barbarous aggression by
the U.S. imperialists."
This seemed a call for help to
neighboring Laos and Cambodia
which, with the Viet Nams make
up the states of old Indochina.
The significance of the state-
ment, and its timing, immediately
aroused speculation. U.S. officials
have reported the Viet Cong as
taking heavy losses recently in
Viet Nam, raising the possibility
the movement is feeling a man-
power pinch. It also seemed pos-
sible that the statement is part of
a preparation for Hanoi itself to
take new action or for bargaining
should there be some sort of new
approach to the conference table.
