I/ iew Housing Implications in 0 By GERALD STORCH Housing recommendations in the Office of Student Affairs Study Committee report will, If adopted, render a clear delineation of admin- istrative authority and greater student-faculty participation in resi- dence halls policy formulation. This is the consensus of six people with an extensive knowledge of University housing: Prof. Frank X. Braun of the German depart- ment; Acting Dean of Women Elizabeth Davenport; John Hale, assist- ant dean of men in charge of residence halls; former Inter-Quadrangle Council President Thomas Moch, '62E; Prof. John Reed of the Law School, who chaired the OSA committee, and Assembly Association President Sally Jo Sawyer, '62. Remarks about the over-all housing philosophy range from Moch's "fine as far as it goes" to Prof. Braun's "the principles are in complete agre'ement with my own views." Prof. Braun is a member both of the OSA study group and the Residence Halls Board of Governors. Hale adds that "perhaps things which have been recommended now for several years may on the strength of the report and campus opinion become realized in policy." The Reed report details six suggestions for housing policy: 1) An Office of Housing, to be administered by a Director of Housing, who would be directly responsible to the Vice-President for' Student Affairs. "Administration of policies and general supervision of life in the residence halls," excluding purely physical and fiscal services, would be in the housing director's hands. 2) A Residence Halls Advisory Board, with greater student and faculty membership as compared to the present Board of Governors, would take over the latter group's role in seeing that "general educa- tional purposes are being served in the halls." Michigan House Plan 3) Educational purposes as set forth in the Michigan House Plan must be reflected in policies and practices. 4) Residence halls staff, particularly the Director of Housing, must exhibit intellectual maturity and academic insight. 5) A greater variety of housing arrangements must be instituted. Possibilities include co-educational, freshman, upperclass and four- year housing. 6) With one dissent, committee members agree no more than the freshman year be made compulsory for both men and women to live in residence halls. Hale expresses the general viewpoint concerning what is probably the most far-reaching of the proposals, to set up the Director of Hous- ing. "It is much better to vest responsibility for administration in a single head. This establishes a clear line of authority and will offer a more dynamic leadership than a board could provide." Beyond this, however, the six individuals differ as to the relation- ships between the director and the advisory board. Prof. Reed says that, "although the director would wield large and undiluted authority, he would be obligated to abide by the majority decision. "With the four faculty members responsible to the Senate Advisory Committee, the four students responsible to IQC and Assembly and the four administrators (Dean and Associate Dean of Students, Busi- ness Manager and Director of Housing) responsible to the Vice-Presi- dent, a real tri-partite balance of interests would develop." Students, Faculty Because two-thirds of the board would be students and faculty, and because the director would be selected for his academic qualifica-1 tions, there is little chance the proposed director would flout the board's wishes, Prof. Reed says. Although the Advisory Board would be strictly advisory, in contrast to the actual policy-determining role of the present Board of Gover- nors, in practice there would be no drastic change in orientation of the boards, since what they do anyway is based on the composition of their SA Report membership, Hale adds. "If the Director of Housing would not use the committee, it would certainly be a step backward in student responsi- bility." Moch, however, views with dismay the relegation of the board to an advisory capacity. "Maybe the Board of Governors doesn't do much, but it is better than having one administrator make all the decisions." Would he or the board ever approve anything the students suggested?" Non-Business Policy He advocates instead a system in which residence halls student government would decide non-business policy, with a veto power laid in the housing directorship. There would be some sort of appeal chan- nel in case the students felt the veto unjust. Miss Sawyer, however, thinks students would play a more definite role under the new scheme. She points out that student initiative could come on three levels: the residence government, the Advisory Board and the Executive Council, on which four students would sit as part of an advisory body to the Vice-President for Student Affairs. If the OSA plan is approved, the Assembly president believes the role of her organization and IQC would be to "carry out specific details in policy. The Advisory Board would set the broad outlines, with the See ANALYZE, Page 2 i i - - - - - - - - - - INSIDE JOINT JUDIC See Page 4 YI e Sir ujau Seventy-One Years of Editorial Freedom Ia it FAIR High-25 Low-neard Moderating temperatures, cloudy and warmer tonight VOL.

The Senate Tuesday passed Sen. Fr a n k Beadle's (R-St. Clair) plan over the opposition of the Democrats and Sen. Carleton E. Morris (R- Kalamazoo) who has his own plan. The move came after House Democrats caucused with Gov. John B. Swainson and agreed to oppose both the Beadle plan and it's House counterpart, offered by Rep. James Folks (R-Horton). Democrats had' hoped to capi- talize on the unexpected heart attack of Rep. Gail Handy (R-: Eau Claire) on the floor yesterday morning and scuttle the Folks plan. However the move to delay passed, 46-45. Swainson and many Detroit Democrats are reportedly still backing the Morris plan, which the Senate dumped Tuesday. Sen. Harry Litowich (R-Benton Harbor), Who led the attack on the Morris bill Tuesday, said he hoped the House would drop the Folks plan and accept the Beadle proposal as a substitute. This would prevent any recon- sideration in the Senate and the possibility of blockage by a Morris- Democrat coalition, he said. only bring exciting, provocative theatre to our campus and com- munity, but will also. serve the state by making yearly tours," Hatcher said. According to the scheduled plans the APA will be in residence in Ann Arbor for 20 weeks, be- ginning next year, presenting a total of eight productions an- nually. These will be chosen from the APA's repetoire of contem- porary and classic dramas. The Fall, Drama Festival will take place in Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre during October and early November. The Winter Drama Festival will be presented in Trueblood and will consist of Shakespearean produc- tions. Spakespeare was chosen for the winter season in order to make use of the newly constructed Shakespearean stage in Trueblood. Again a tour will follow as a ser- vice by the University to the state. The APA was formed two years ago by its artistic director Ellis Rabb. With Broadway and Lon- don star Rosemary Harrisa - lead- ing lady APA draws upu £Ltearly one hundred outstanding actors, playwrights, directors designers, composers and technicians with Broadway and American Shake- speare Festival backgrounds. A specially selected group of graduate fellowship students will appear with the professional com- pany in minor roles as part of their training for advanced de- grees. These fellowships .will be given to carefully selected, young graduates of universities through- out the nation.' State Senate To Consider Loyalty Bill Both Parties Back Oath; Passage 'Sure' Special To The Daily LANSING - The State Senate moved closer to passage of a man- datory loyalty oath for all state employees as Democrats and Re- publicans alike expressed approval of the measure. Governor John B. Swainson has taken no position on the bill, passed by the House last Tuesday, and is currently, according to his office "studying the ramifications" of it. Sen. Perry W. Greene (R-Grand Rapids), chairman of the State Affairs Committee to which the oath has been referred, predicted that it would be reported out of committee sometime next week. Expressing his personal approval, he said that it would eliminate both Communists and Socialists from receiving state money since "after Socialism comes Commun- ism." Sen. Charles 0. McManiman (D-Houghton) concurred with Greene, noting, "I think that every red-blooded American would be proud and eager to sign this oath as many times a day as he could without being asked." Sen. Charles S. Blondy (D- Wayne) compared the oath to the pledge, of allegiance in signifi- cance. "I am definitely in favor of a loyalty oath. Every elected of- ficial must take the same one that this bill requires. Bill Would Increase Last Year's Outla Niehuss Calls Figure Inadequate, Says 'U' To Reserve Any Decisions By MICHAEL HARRAH and DAVID MARCUS Special To The Daily LANSING-Sen. Philip 0. Rahoi (D-Iron Mountain) has introduced the annual appropriations bill for higher educa- tion, which would this year allot the University $36.7 million, plus $1.2 million for the Institute of Science and Technology. This would be a $1.3 million boost over last year's operat- ing budget of $35.4 million. University Executive Vice-President Marvin L. Niehuss has said that the University would virtually be forced to seek additional funds from other " sources if the . Legislature didn't approve at least a $4-5 Legislators -Daily-Edward Arnos REGULATION AND RESPONSIBILITY-James Arrowsmith, Haruko Tsuchiya, moderator Prof. Mar- vin Felheim, Carlos Bolzani and Serge Lebedev discussed the role of university students here and abroad at a seminar yesterday. Students Discuss, Paternaltim By BUEL TRAPNELL Students from Japan, Brazil, Great Britain and the Soviet Un- ion agreed yesterday that in many ways the University is more pa- ternalistic than most universities in their own countries. The four students discussed "Student Responsibility Around the World." The panel Was moder- ated by Prof. Marvin Felheim of the English department, and spon- sored by the International Affairs Committee of the Michigan Union. Serge Lebedev, Grad, of the Soviet Union said that all Russian dormitories are state-owned, and the students "have to comply with the regulations established by the administration," but they are en- couraged to solve problems that here are "solved" by University regulations. Lebedev said, however, he does not think universities should al- low bad conduct of students to pass unnoticed, and he regards a certain amount of "paternalism" as a desirable part of the educa- tional process. Carlos Bolzani, Grad, of Brazil, admitted that the University's "enormous dormitories" surprised him. Most Brazilian students don't live in university housing, and those that do have almost com- plete liberty, he added. Bolzani said Latin American stu- dents are "very much concerned with what is going on in politics." Students are an intellectual elite, and when they see the faults of their governments, they "feel they have to do something whether they like it or not." Haruko Tsuchiya, Grad, of Ja- pan, said Japanese students are not politically active as' a group, but as individual citizens. She noted that most Asian and European universities are in urban areas, and are not regarded as separate communities. ..James Arrowsmith, Grad, of Great Britain, admitted "in a small town like Ann Arbor, private housing for 25,000 students would be a problem." However, this should not be used as an excuse to force students to live in bad housing. Round Robin Grid Policy Turned Down By MIKE BURNS Sports Editor Special To The Daily EAST LANSING-The Big. Ten took the first step yesterday to- ward halting the progression of the full nine-game round-robin football schedule, freezing it at a minimum of seven Conference contests. The action came in a closed joint meeting of faculty represen- tatives and athletic directors. No announcement of the actual vote was made, but Big Ten Commis- sioner Bill Reed said it "was rela- tively close." The group voted to rescind a policy adopted in 1959 calling for million increase. He said that the only other source he saw would be a tuition increase. Increase Unlikely Rahoi said that such an in- crease is "not likely." In order to meet such a hike the state must first seek "new sources of reve- nue," he added. ' The bill essentially embodies the governor's recommended appropri- ation which fell some $6 million short of the Regents request. The bill is currently under con- sideration by the Senate Com- mittee on Appropriations, chaired by Sen. Elmer R. Porter (R- Blissfield). Porter said that the committee plans to meet with representatives of the State Coun- cil of College Presidents next Thursday to discuss the higher education budgets for the coming fiscal year. Figure 'Inadequate' Niehuss said that the figure projected in the Rahoi bill was "utterly inadequate," but that the University would reserve any de- cisions until the actual amount of the appropriation was settled. , Recommendations for the other state-supported schools included. $32.4 million for Michigan State University, $17.4 for Wayne State University, $2.7 million for Ferris Institute at Big Rapids, $3.7 mil- lion for Michigan College of Min- ing and Technology at Houghton and Sault Ste. Marie, $3.5 million for Central Michigan University Also recommended were $3.7 mil- lion for Eastern Michigan Univer- sity at Ypsilanti, $1.8 million for Northern Michigan College at Marquette, $5.8 million for West- ern Michigan University at Kala- mazoo and $185,000 for Grand Hear Is sues. Special To The Daily LANSING-The State House of Representatives yesterday resolved to entreat the Internal Revenue Service to locate its proposed data- processing center in Michigan, but the House of Representatives Ap- propriations Committee in Wash- ington is dragging its feet aboul the whole matter. After an hour-long floor fight the Michigan legislators struck down an outstate proposal to rec- ommend locating the center ir Port Huron, since other cities including Ann Arbor, are bidding for it. The State Senate however pass- ed the Port Huron resolution making reconsideration necessary in the House. The Congressional appropria- tions unit reluctantly approved the funds for the center yesterday. Rep. Gilbert E. Bursley (R-Anm Arbor) also reported that Gov William Potter, vice-president o: the 1964-65 New York World'E Fair, will meet.with legislators tc discuss a Michigan exhibit nex Tuesday. He said that he is hoping tc characterize Michigan there ar "the research center of the na tion," capitalizing on the facilitik of the University. Two Take 'Out *SGC Petitions Matthew F.
