"Gee, I'd forgotten about the
monsoons in Ann Arbor," she said
behind me in line for registration.
"I had too," her friend replied.
"But I love every minute of it."
It had been raining all day, for
almost twelve straight hours when
she said that. And it was only be-
ginning; over three inches of rain
fell after 1 p.m. yesterday.

squeaked when I walked and I
was wet all over. I was hating.

SUBMARINES

;imored swimmers were frolicking
down by Division and Hill streets
where a natural basin instantly
develops when you add water.
But they would get theirs; I
knew that water they were play-
ing in was partly from the backed
up sewers.
The police sergeant told me so.
But he was calm. Everything was
normal for this sort of thing: the
railroad tracks were washed out,
as were many basements and
even first floors in northeast Ann
Arbor; there were 25-30 auto ac-
0idents and a few evacuations.
THE DELUGE
He said this was the worst.,
deluge Ann Arbor had endured in
two years.
"We've got a list a mile long1
for pumping out basements,", the
fireman said. This had to be the
*orst 'flood in Ann Arbor history,
or at least the worst one he could
recollect.

Calls for appropriation cuts if school
fail to discipline disruptive students
By URBAN LEINER
The State House of Representatives in a resolution ap-
proved yesterday warned administrators of state-supported
colleges and universities to "maintain order" on their campus
or face cuts in their annual appropriations.
The resolution, which passed the chamber 75-22 after
an hour's debate, was generally regarded as a "statement of
intent" rather than a prelude to more specific legislative
action. It makes no provision for immediate implementation
of the threatened' cuts, nor' --._
does it bind the House to take I
student disorders into consid-
eration when passing futureAC LU
appropriations bills.
The resolution does not specify jitaitt ne w
the kinds of activities it considers
"disorderly," although it does re-
fer to "daily occurrences on the
campuses of the colleges and uni-
versities throughout the United +.oposals
States . . . including several in-
cidents on the campuses within By HENRY GRIX

Coulnty Board may
take over CEO role
By MARCIA ABRAMSON
The Washtenaw County Board of Supervisors may be-
come the community action agency (CAA) for the Economic
Opportunity program by Feb. 1, 1969, replacing the county's
Citizens Committee for Economic Opportunity.
The Board voted 24 to 4 for the move last week at a pub-
lic hearing, despite the opposition of some 20 speakers who
tprotested the transfer
Final decision can only be made by the new Board which
takes office Jan. 1, and the transfer might not even be
recommended by the outgoing supervisors if the CEO "con-
tinues to progress as it is now," according to Board chairman
Robert M. Harrison.
The regional OEO office in Chicago must also approve
1he transfer. Eugene Ring, an OEO counsel in Chicago, said

Critics called the resoliton a
"political gesture" which would
punish all students. They charged
it is too broadly drawn, impossible
to administer.: potentially counter-
productive, and a threat to the
autonomy granted universities un-
der the state constitiytion.
The recommendations will be
presented to the national board
which is expected, but not obli-
gated to adopt them as national
policy.
The 48-year-old ACLU defends
civil rights with contributions and
volunteer services from its 125,-
by "an equally serious and grow-
ing quality deficit in public insti-
tutions."
Vice President for Academic Af-
fairs Allan F. Smith said it was
important that the federal govern-
ment increase subsidies to uni-
versity programs and particularly
to graduate schools because "state
support has not taken full cog-
nizance of the cost of our pro-
grams."
President Robben W. Fleming ex-
plained:
"Unless the University receives
the additional funds from the
federal government there will be
no allowance for the development
of new programs."
The AAU noted that the lack
of new sources of funds would
lead to serious deterioration of
higher education. Reduced op-
portunities for the diadvantaged,
less research and facilities would
cause the "stifling of higher edu-
cation as a vital creative, produc-
tive force in American life."
Fleming suggested that gradu-
ate level programs are national in
character and therefore should
be supported by the federal gov-
ernment. "Congress should realize
that graduate schools should be'
funded at a national level because
their students come from a
national pool," said Fleming.

The Regents postponed decision
on student vehicle regulations,
dorm visitation and curfew policy,
nd establishment of a campus
judiciary in last week's meeting.
The three crucial student-
oriented issues will be settled at
their regular monthly meeting in
July.
Dr. Don Haefner. director of ad-
issions and student affairs in
e School of Public Health, was
appointed to the newly-established
post of assistant dean in that
school.
Professor Roger Jacobi was
named assistant dean of the
School of Music, Professor Richard
,V ilson became new associate dean
_f the College of Engineering,
and Melvin Marcus became chair-
man of the geography depart-
ment.
The Regents also elevated Jo-
seph Sax of the Law School to a
full professorship. Sax, 32, is a
gpecialist in the areas of torts and
cal political groups to desig-
nate themselves as CAA.
Harrison explained, "It may be,
necessary to have the threat of
total takeover to control indi-
viduals we feel are misusing the
program." "Misuse" does not refer
to funds, he continued,' but that
"more can be done with the pro-
gram." '
The supervisors intend to re-
tain the CEO as an "administra-
tive board." Poor people will elect
one third of the CEO's member-
- ship June 30 and another third
will be named by agencies se-
lected by the CEO personnel com-
mittee. The remainder will be gov-
ernment representatives.
