LXXII, No. 103 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1962 SEVEN CENTS SIX PA Rebel Planes Bomb Diem's Residence Vietnamese Leader Escapes Injury; U.S. Sources Fear Internal Strife SAIGON-Two fighter-bombers with markings of the South Viet Nam Air Force blasted President Ngo Dinh Diem's palace with bombs, rockets and machineguns yesterday, but radio Saigon announced an hour later that Diem and his family were safe. It was not immediately known who piloted the planes or what triggered the attack. The only military movements inside Saigon were by government troops setting up a defense perimeter around the pal- ace, one wing of which was left in flames by the attack. Piloted by Rebels A report from the South, Viet Nam press agency received in Tokyo said the planes were piloted by rebel members of the South Viet Nam Air Force. The agency Hatcher Of Repo Backs Philosophic Am f i rt by OSA Fine Strauss For Violating EQC Ru~lig By KENNETH WINTER Strauss House was convicted Sunday night and fined $100 for holding a party which violated an East Quadrangle Council ruling banning "all social events on the night of the Snowflake Ball." Strauss had testified before East Quad Judiciary Council that the gathering which occurred in Strauss that night was a "spon- taneous" rather than house-plan- ned function, and charged that the ruling was contrary to the quad's constitution which restricts EQC's authority to "matters directly con- cerning East Quad and those mat- ters which are of an inter-house nature." Judiciary Concerns The Judic upheld the EQC rul- ing "since the Snowflake Ball is a quadrangle-wide function and this directly concerns East Quad." The verdict contended that "the function was not spontaneous. Al- though the house council may not have been involved, the individuals directly responsible for organizing the party did not come forward. Therefore the judiciary must up- hold its decision by making the house council responsible." The Judic did not rule on four other charges brought by EQC, concerning Strauss' alleged failure to secure proper calendaring, ap- proval and chaperoning for the event, and the presence of "illegal women guests." Moch Comments Former IQC President Tom Moch, '62E, pointed out the significance of the Strauss case. "It's a question of a federation, where the ultimate power lies in IQC and the quad councils vs. a confederation, where the individual houses are the main powers, and just get together once in a while to talk about the quads. The decision indicates that it's a federation." Strauss' defense counsel Thomas Butch, '64, said the decision "sets a dangerous precedent in an area which is-and, we feel, rightfully so - the business of the house. What's to keep EQC from saying, for example, that we can't have a party next Thursday? I think they've overstepped their bounds." Butch added, "It's reasonable to assume that we'll appeal the case. I think the fine is extremely ex- cessive." Stan Lubin, '63E, who prosecuted in behalf of EQC, explained that "I don't think the party was the main thing. The violation of the quad ruling would have set a dan- gerous precedent. The verdict shows that quad government is a power to contend with." said anti-aircraft batteries man- ned by navy men had shot down one of the two rebel planes at 7:35 a.m. Saigon Time. One plane crashed and the pilot and co-pilot were arrested, it added.) While official United States sources sought to play down the magnitude of the assault against Diem, it was plain in the United States capital that the affair set off consternation here. Discord From Within As one authority put it, South Viet Nam has enough troubles with the Reds {now and can ill stand major discord from within. The United States military com- mander in the Pacific, Adm. Harry D. Felt, said in Honolulu that he has radio telephoned Saigon and been told the situation was quiet 21/ hours after the bombing, and that Diem was safe. Diem himself has gone on the radio and issued a statement cred- iting - "divine providence" for his survival, reports said. "The United States embassy in Saigon reported to the State De- partment that there were no in- cidents in Saigon other than the aerial attack and no evidence of major revolt against Diem. Quads To Add Conveniences For Residents Two long-standing complaints in the residence halls system have moved closer to solution. Residence Halls Business Man- ager Leonard Schaadt said yes- terday that soap dispensers will be tried experimentally in wash- rooms, while the closing time for quadrangle telephone switchboards has been extended from 10:30 to 11 p.m. each day to conform to the dormitories' schedule.- He announced that a new type of dispenser, made of stainless steel to prevent corrosion and us- ing a detergent instead of soap to prevent clogging, will be installed "about spring vacation" time in the quadrangles. If the dispensers, one of which has already had a trial for about one year in one washroom in South Quad, continue to be successful, the facility will be put into the dormitories also. The change in telephone service was made because parents no longer are complaining about be- ing able to call their daughters, Schaadt said. Since each dormitory room for about a year and a half has had a telephone, parents ap- parently have had little trouble in calling, thus ending the need for the period between 10:30 and 11 p.m. for dormitory switchboards. to be shut off from quadrangle lines. Commission Audit Gives 'False' Vew By NEIL COSSMAN The report by the Legislative Audit Commission on faculty sal- aries is "oversimplified and gives a false picture" of the University's competitive position, University Executive Vice-President Marvin L. Niehuss said yesterday. The report is oversimplified be- cause itrdoes not compare salaries by faculty rank, it is confined to colleges and universities in the midwest and it does not consider the proportion of graduate stu- dents at the universities surveyed, Niehuss explained. Faculty Rank Factor According to House Majority Floor Leader Allison Green (R- Kingston) the report tended to disprove any urgent situation in regard to faculty salaries. While not disputing the commission's statistics, Niehuss explained how the oversimplified report distorts the University's true competitive situation. Niehuss said that salaries must be compared within faculty rank -professors with professors at competing colleges, instructors with instructors-to give a true competitive image. Otherwise a university with a higher proportion of professors (who get the top salaries) would appear to pay higher salaries than another institution with .a smaller proportion of top people. Incomplete Analysis The report also gave an incom- plete analysis of the University's competitive position by consider- ing only midwestern universities and colleges, Niehuss said. The University's real competi- tion comes, not from the midwest, but from the east and west coasts -the wealthy private institutions and the University of California. Niehuss said that the Univer- sity's salary increases haven't kept pace with increases nationwide, and last year there were no in- creases. Graduates Neglected A third shortcoming of the re- port is its failure to consider the relative proportion of graduate students at the universities sur- veyed-mostly members of the Big Ten, Niehuss said. The more graduate students a university has the more full and associate professors it needs. This raises its "average" faculty salary out of proportion to its true com- petitive position. Three Take Out Council Petitions Katherine Ford, '64, incumbent Richard G'sell, '63 and John Lauve, '63E, took out petitions for the Student Government Council elections to be held March 20 and 21. S tu dyGroup Sees Need To Study Proposed Structure President Cites Need To Integrate Academic, Student Activities at 'U By MICHAEL OLINICK University President Harlan Hatcher yesterday endorsed the philosophy expressed in the Office of Student Affairs Study Committee report, but said the technical details of its proposed restructuring have yet to be worked out. "The philosophy is extremely well stated and I feel quite certain'that it has widespread support," he said. "The ques- tion of how we can best implement this philosophy, however, is one which involves some specialized knowledge. We wil give very earnest attention to the 'pros and cons' of the com- mittee's specific details. The --AP Wirephoto STUDENTS CLASH-Fistfights broke out on the University of Pennsylvania campus yesterday as opposing student groups clashed over the suspension of the undergraduate newspaper, The Daily Pennsylvanian. A former editor of the newspaper trades punches with a member of the opposition on the Penn campus. Pennsylvania Punishes Editor By RONALD WILTON Melvin Goldstein, the editor of the Daily Pennsylvanian, was put on "conduct probation" by the University of Pennsylvania Com- mittee on Discipline yesterday af- ternoon. A student on conduct probation is forbidden to take part in any extra-curricular activity. "In ef- fect Goldstein has effectively been deposed as editor of the paper," Benjamin Natelson, who will be next year's business manager of the paper, explained. Report Russia, U.S". Planning joint Telecast By The Associated Press WASHINGTON - The United States and Russia were reported yesterday to be arranging for simultaneous television broadcasts next month in both countries of statements by President John F. Kennedy and Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev.1 However, White House Press Secretary Pierre Salinger said "there are no present arrange- ments" for such programs. Salinger and Mikhail Kharla- mov, his Soviet counterpart, agreed in principle to such a broadcast last month. Kennedy said yesterday, in a speech broadcast around the world, that the United States wants its affairs reported fully even behind iron curtains, but he did not specifically mention the proposed telecasts. Commenting on his punishment Goldstein said that 'although he believed .the committee, which is composed of administrators, fac- ulty and students acted in good faith, he did not think that "any actions taken by the Daily Penn- sylvanian or myself warrant con- duct probation. Despite the per- sonal action against me the is- sue at hand is still supression of the press." Students Picket Dean Goldstein reported that more than 500 students covering two city blocks picketed the home of Dean of Men Robert Longley on Sunday, protesting his action in suspending the paper. "A small group of counterpicketers arrived and started trouble. When it ap- peared that Longley's home might get damaged we called police. The demonstration disbanded when they arrived." The statement issued with Gold- stein's punishment stated that the committee held him chiefly re- sponsible for the printing of an offensive issue of the paper. It also condemned his reporting of the circumstances surrounding the suspension as "irresponsible in terms of verification of facts and in concern for the best interests of the University." The issue involved was a parody printed by the Daily Pennsylvan- ian on the Pennsylvania News, a weekly paper for women on the campus. The News later congrat- ulated the Daily on the quality of its issue. Attempt Compromise ' Longley said that members of the student government and the newspaper staff are meeting L'o try to work out some compromise to permit the paper to resume pub- lishing. A member of the political science department is sitting in "to add his wisdom to the pro- ceedings." A committee has been set up by university officials to "look into the causes of this situation and outline the chain of command from the Daily Pennsylvanian to other student and university or- gans," he added. The senior executive board of the paper will meet soon to select a new editor. technical details have to be thrashed out and there is still work to be done on the struc- ture." Views Academic Aims Under the chairmanship of John W. Reed of theLaw School, the 12 member student-faculty group called for an integration of non-academic activities into the academic aims of the University. It's' 7,500 word report also sug- ~gested a possible structure for the OSA built around a Dean of Stu- dents and a strengthened vice- presidency. Outlining his views on student affairs in an interview yesterday, President Hatcher said he "keenly feels the need to link student life in its non-academic aspects to the central academic purposes of the University." He saw a need for continual re- appraisal of the campus environ- ment since it is "most important that the environment is favorable to ; the growth of the individual student." Notes Changing Approach The changing approach to stu- dent affairs within the University is a function of changes in the society, particularly those in the family, he stressed. "I am concerned that we keep alert to the evolution of our so- ciety and have an atmosphere in the University which is in keeping with the society. There is a dan- ger in fostering frigidity in any institution, especially 1 one like ours." Today's entering freshman has a wider breadth of experience and displays more sophistication than the one who came to Ann Arbor when President Hatcher started his first year at the University in 1951. "They have seen a much wider slice of life than their pre- decessors and display, at least since the Sputnik inspired a 'toughening-up' program in the high schools, more knowledge." Allows More Freedom The University can allow the student more freedom and respon- sibility than it used to because the family has been increasing the amount of freedom and respon- sibility granted to younger chil- dren. The responsibility of the Uni- versity is to meet the student where he leaves his family and guide him to responsible entrance into society as an adult, President Hatcher believes. One of the prime virtues of the OSA committee report is its rec- ognition of the growth factor in the student body, he said. Cites Mature Students "The report shows that a large number of our students-gradu- ates, married students and seniors -are already mature. It destroys the tendency to think of students as a homogeneous body and points out the complexity of the Uni- versity. It also shows the degree of aid the University can and should give to freshmen." The University, however, is not a pissive reflector of society, its president believes. It is ahead of society in many areas, in adding to man's knowledge as well as in nonacademic policies, but " we are not a militant organization with a 0a1C0A ,. na rvna __ rnaa ,1 Challen ge Group Discusses The concept of "The University as a Community" was examined by a representative of each of the three branches of the University at the Challenge program Sunday afternoon. Prof. Theodore M. Newcomb of the psychology department ex- plained that the type of community desired depends on the degree of independence and normativeness wanted. "People need each others "help, support and stimulation and must know how and when these can be counted on. But we also value independence, autonomy and 19 originality and when we are faced " 0 =8 9 with these polar opposites we have ~ 11 U8to compromise." Views Relationships HARLAN HATCHER commends philosophy lauds Gains Biy Students Against Bias Student action to end discrimi- nation in social fraternities and sororities has, on the whole, been handled very well, University Pres- ident Harlan Hatcher said yes- terday. Applauding the work of Student Government Council, President Hatcher noted, "There is a certain rhythmn to making progress in this area. Going too far too fast often defeats precisely what you are seeking, but that is almost as bad as being too slow." He characterized the SGC ap- proach as one which avoids coer- cion and has the solid understand- ing and support of the students. Vetoes Action The Council-whose withdrawal of recognition from Sigma Kappa in 1958 was sugsequently vetoed by Vice-President for Student Af- fairs James A. Lewis-has taken a more moderate approach in the last several years. "The most hopeful sign, how- ever, is in 'the fraternities them- selves," President 'Hatcher said. "Most of them are doing a good job in ridding their houses of Declining to give a general statement on whether or not the University administration would alloy a SGC recommendation to withdraw recognition from a fra- ternity pass without veto, Presi- dent Hatcher said it would depend on the particular case. Declines Statement "If there was a flagrant viola- tion-say a local group wanted to pledge someone and the national bias." forbid it-I'd say yes, but I don't believe the overt threat is the way to settle this problem. Other uni- versities which have adopted a more coercive view are not much farther along than we are."
