Nearly 100 resolutions were adopted in the Congress plenary ses- sions and the post-Congress meeting of the National Executive Com- mittee. Among the most significant of the resolutions were the fol- lowing, in summary form: FEDERAL AID TO EDUCATION-Affirming federal aid in prin- ciple, USNSA urges financial aid programs directed at students and institutions of higher learniing. Grants to students should be based only on intellectual ability and financial need, and should take the form of scholarships, graduate fellowships, and low interest loans. Federal aid for construction in institutions should not be accompan- ied by any form of control of academic policy, nor should instructors be employed with federal funds. USNSA shall take responsibility for an informative campaign regarding federal aid and free institutions. DESEGREGATION-USNSA commends the action of southern students involved in peaceful sit-in demonstrations, attacks those "inveterate traditions of injustice which are elevated to the stature of legal mandates" in the South, deplores the lack of thorough press coverage of the sit-in movement. It recommends that member schools support the movement through non-violent picketing, selective buy- ing, messages of support to southern students, letters to local and national legislators, and continued pressure to eliminate discrimina- tory practises in local communities. * * * WORLD YOUTH FORUM-USNSA takes interest in the forum, to be held in Moscow next summer, but desires that "all facts and opinions relevant to the issues under consideration" be presented. Before the USNSA decides to attend the forum, it desires several con- ditions including the following: 1) that the Forum constitutes a free and open meeting for expression of opinion which will contribute to wider international student cooperation; 2) that youth organiza- tions in attendance be prepared to prove their claim to represent the youth in their respective countries; 3) that delegates be given prior notice of the suggested agenda and that rules and procedure be made nkown also; 4) that the speakers and resource persons be selected genuinely to represent divergent ideological and political positions. FREEDOM AND RESPONSIBILITY OF THE STUDENT PRESS --USNSA believes that the duties and aims of the student press to serve its community, to cultivate freedom of expression, and to stimu- late thought and response in the community must be done as the editors see fit and that the editor must bear full responsibilities for his policies. USNSA affirmed that the student press must be free from all outside interference and control and be completely self-directed. USNSA asserts that the student press must be concerned with ac- urcacy in all stories, maintaing an open forum for free expression of ideas and have full regard for laws of obscenity, libel and other civil legal restrictions but without violating principles of free press. * * * KERR DIRECTIVES-(Clark Kerr, president of the University of California, last year issued a series of directives that prohibit stu- dent government from taking positions on "off-campus political, reli- gious, economic, international or other issues of the time.")

City Slates First Vote On Liquor Amid speculations on whether the step would be detrimental to the student community, Ann Ar- bor will vote Nov. 8 for the first time in its history on permitting the sale of liquor by the glass. A vote on the issue was secured last Friday when City Clerk Fred' J. Looker reported that the Ann Arbor Licensees' Association, an organization composed of 25 lo- cal tavern, restaurant and hotel owners, had collected the required total of 5,762 signatures. Stirs Controversy - The question will be submitted to city voters Nov. 8, reads: "Shall the sale of spirits in addition to beer and wine be permitted for consumption on the premises within the city of Ann Arbor un- der the provisions of the law gov- erning the same?" The proposal, which is success- ful would boost Ann Arbor's total of license-holding establishments to 44 (at the rate of one per 1,500 of population), has stirred up con- siderable controversy, especially in regard to the University student.! The city has imposed temper- ance on students ever since 1874, when an ordinance was passed banning them from saloons-re- gardless of age. One of State's Few It has since been altered and reinforced, until today the Ann Arbor-Ypsilanti metropolitan area stands alone in the state with Battle Creek and Kalamazooas those which do not allow the sale of liquor by the glass. Straw votes and other expres- sions of public viewpoints make it plain there is still a sizeable seg- ment of the city which is convincedj that liquor by the glass would have a damaging effect on the student body. It would simply make it easier for students to ob- tain liquor-and give the city the resulting problems, they argue. Others reject as negligible any, overall harm to students, and point out that it would be a con- venience to the townspeople. While arguments fly pro and con, University officials have re- served judgment, apparently will- ing to abide with local laws.

Laurence V. Britt, S. J., was named to replace the Rev. Fr. Celestin. J. Steiner, S. J., as president of the University of Detroit, the appointment to be ef- fective Oct. 30. Father Steiner will take the newly created post of university chancellor, and the Rev. Fr. Mal- colm T. Carron, S. J., will replace Father Britt as dean of the arts and sciences college. The appointments were an- nounced to the Jesuit members of the university community by the Rev. Fr. John A. McGrail, S. J., provincial of the Detroit Province, Society of Jesus. They were officially made by the Rev. Fr. John Baptist Janssens, S. J., general of the Society of Jesus. Father Steiner had been presi- dent of the university 11 years, the longest term of office for any president, In his new of fice, he will be responsible directly to the president and will be in charge of directing the university's de- velopment program. In announcing the appoint- ments, Father McGrail said that "In keeping with the university's long-range objective of continued planned development, it seemed advisable to appoint a new presi- dent at this time, while continu- ing to take advantage of the in- valuable experience and wisdom acquired by Father Steiner." He also noted that the increas- ing complexity of the university had greatly increased the responsi- bilities f the president, During Father Steiner's tenure, the university's student body has increased by about 4,000 to 13,- 588, and its faculty has expanded from 458 members to 685. The university plant has had five new buildings worth a total of $7 million added to it, and many other programs have been either begun or expanded while Father Steiner was president. the lack of closet n't mind staying said.

John Hale, Assistant Dean of Men in Charge of Residence Halls concurs with Mrs. Fuller. The number of men in temporary housing is constantly fluctuating, he said. The total of 54 men hous- ed on the ninth floor of South Quadrangle has been reduced within two days to 35, and changes are still being made. No New Problem Temporary housing is not a new problem at the University. "The top floor of South Quad- rangle has been used for this purpose during the opening in the fall for the past three years," Hale explained. Although the Dean of Women's office has ex- perienced similar situations be- fore the opening of Mary Markley Hall, housing nearly 1,200 women, solved the problem until this year. But if the total enrollment at the University is not to remain static, there will be a need for additional housing facilities, per- haps within the near future, Halt said.
