Niehuss sparred lightly with Sen. Carleton E. Morris (R-Kalamazoo) yesterday on the matter of the University's pending appropriation. "During these past five years of comparitive austerity, the most powerful factor in keeping top professors at the University' is that funds are available for them to use as they wish," Nieliuss asserted. "These. funds, however, have come from private sources. We depehd on the legislature to provide basic operating funds upon which 'GETS GY TICS TITL FOUR Tech Beats wolverines In Playoffs T I SEW DI 4 Allow Paper To Resume Publcation PHILADELPHIA-The Univer- sity of Pennsylvania recently lift- ed the ban on publication of the Daily Pennsylvanian. The student newspaper will operate under university sanction as a free agent, but it will not re- ceive student government allotted funds until the new editorial board takes over Thursday. The day the ban was lifted, 2,500 copies of the Chicago Maroon were distributed on campus with flyleaves announcing resumption of Pennsylvanian publication "with complete editorial freedom and integrity." Tell Story The Maroon carried a report of the situation previous to the lift- ing of the ban,. and an editorial supporting the Pennsylvanian edi- torial board. Dean of Men Robert F. Longley lifted the suspension upon recom- mendation of Men's Student Gov- ernment, but the government cate- gorically refused to restore funds until the new editorial board takes over. The government had recom- mended last week after a secret unconstitutional meeting that the paper be banned, and Longley took immediate action. Editor Punished' The university's committee on discipline then placed the editor- in-chief, Melvin Goldstein, on "conduct probation" for the rest; of the semester. Reasons the committee gave for the probation were the publication of a parody of the Pennsylvania News, women's activities weekly, and "irresponsible" statements to the press that were "not in the best interests" of the university. Goldstein commented that the interests of the university would be served best by "restoring free- dom of expression to the Pennsyl- vania campus." Since September, Longley had come under consistent editorial attack for what the Pennsylvanian termed his high-handed tactics in his attempts to interfere with stu- dent activities. The day before the publication ban was lifted, Men's Government defeated a proposal to restore funds to the paper. -Owe can build our framework. From there we appeal for outside help." Defends System Morris defended the Michigan system of higher education, how- ever, challenging Niehuss to "name another state where there exists a better group of state supported colleges and UniVersities." "I would say there is none," Niehuss retorted. "There is no question but that other states spend more money per student, but they don't get the results., "However, it is so much easier and so much cheaper to preserve ' a fine system of education while you still have it, than to try to retrieve it once its gone.", Cites Proposals Morris cited his, own proposals for $26,000,000 a year in capital expansion funds for'higher educa- Ltion financed by increased nui- sance taxes, which is now pending before the state senate, and said, "high quality will never be lost; I promise you that." Speaking before a Saturday sym- posium here, Niehuss and Vice- President for Business and Finance, Wilbur K. Pierpont did not blame the legislature for any faculty difficulties the University has. Views Problems "Unsolicited advertising of Mich- igan's financial difficulties hasn't helped matters," Niehuss ex- plained. "It hasn't encouraged either our own faculty or our out- siders, because they know the aver- age faculty salary at the University is declining" He added that the University's losses in "senior positions" have run three to four times what they were in the period 1947-57. "Over all, however, the faculty recognizes it is a good place to be," he concluded. "But for our morale we need an upward turn and this will require an increase in operat-; ing funds." Defense Chief' To Talky Here United States Secretary of De- fense Robert S. McNamara will be" the principal speaker at The Uni- versity of Michigan's 118th Com- mencement June 16. McNamara, a native of Califor- nia, has been U.S. defense secre- tary since early 1961. Prior to his' appointment he was president of' Ford' Motor Company and a resi- dent of Ann Arbor. Before joining Ford in 1946, Mc- Namara had served as a special consultant to the War Department.' Three Units Runners-Up In Big Ten Icers Lose Title Hop As Tech Gets Victo In WCHA Playoffs By MIKE BURNS Sports Editor LEONARD WOODCOCK, . . . WSU tuition Cites Status Of Proposal From WSU By NEIL COSSMAN Leonard Woodcock, chairman of the Wayne State University Board of Governors, said yesterday that the Legislature is "interested but not committed" to WSU's tuition- appropriation proposal. According, to the plan, WSU would raise its in-state tuition to provide one dollar of revenue for every four-dollar increase in its appropriation from the Legisla- ture. Only three per cent of Wayne's students are from out- side Michigan. Woodcock said that the WSU plan would not put Michigan's other universities under any ob- ligation to make similar offers. He added that the move is being made more out 'of desperation than for its possible appeal to the Legislature. Rep. Arnell Engstrom (R- Traverse City), chairman of the House Ways and Means Commit- tee, has also said that the other universities should not have to follow WSU's example, but chat they should be consulted before any action is taken. Council To Meet The relation between appropria- tions and tuition will be discussed at Thursday's meeting of the Michigan Coordinating Council for Higher Education, Woodcock said. Representatives from the Legis- lature will be present, he added. The Council, formed this year, has representatives from each of the ten state colleges and universities. If Wayne does not get the re- quested raise in appropriations, there will probably be a partial in- crease in tuition, with a possible cutback in enrollment for next year in order to maintain quality, Woodcock explained. He said that an increase in faculty salaries is among the most pressing needs at WSU. Third-Period Scores Undo Icers' Margin By DAVE ANDREWS Associate Sports Editor Michigan Tech piled up a flock of firsts last night and beat Mich- igan in the process, 6-4, to take the Western Collegiate Hockey Association championship back to Houghton. Four goals in the final period did it, after the Wolverines had taken a 3-2 lead on Red Beren- son's record tying 40th goal at 8:05 of the second. The victory, Michigan Tech's first over Michigan in Ann Arbor since Jan. 19, 1959, gave the Huskies their first WCHA title and marked the first time that a Tech team has ever brought the James MacNaughton Trophy back to the city of its origin. Most Explosive MacNaughton, an Upper Penin- sula copper tycoon, donated the solid silver prize worth better than $5,000 with the idea of creating the most expensive hockey trophy in existence. He succeeded! Last night the Huskies succeed- ed to cap the greatest WCHA sea- son in Michigan Tech history. But even over the delerious din in the Tech dressing room the NCAA Tournament set for March 15, 16, 17 at Utica, N. Y. cast its ominous shadow. For in all probability the two teams will tangle again in the finals there. If that game even comes close' to matching the fierce play of last night .gy See.ICERS, Page 7 Thinclads Bow To Wisconsin In Track Meet By GEORGE WANSTALL Special To The Daily EAST LANSING - Wisconsin hit East Lansing like a cyclone yesterday afternoon, walking off with the honors in the one-mile relay and its first Big Ten indoor track title since 1949, compiling 61 points to the second place Wol- verines' 46%. Displaying remarkable strength in the sprints and the hurdle events, the Badgers placed 12 of their 15 qualifiers. Two Badgers also placed in the shot and one in the mile in which there were no preliminaries. For Michigan, Captain Ergas Leps repeated as a double winner in the 880-yd. run and the mile, while Charlie Aquino whipped favorite Gary Fischer of Iowa in the 1,000-yd. run. Sad and Sweet Rod Denhart experienced hap- piness and disappointment in the pole vault. After sewing up the event at 14'4", he tried 14'8" which would have given him the Big Ten record. His first and third tries weren't close, but on the second leap, he nearly cleared the tot- tering bar. "I wanted that so bad I could taste it," Denhart lament- ed.

SOCIETY-EDUCATION: Stresses Area Relationship's By RONALD WILTON There are many areas of rela- tionship between universities and society that need improvement, Leonard Woodcock, vice-president of the United Auto Workers and president of the Board of Gover-. nors of Wayne State University, explained at a Challenge program yesterday. Along with Representative Gil- bert E. Bursley (R-Ann Arbor), and Prof. Richard Cutler of the psychology department Woodcock viewed these areas. He declared that the largest question facing American society is how to get cohesion. - Cites Role "The universities have the unique role of developing an un- derstanding of our society and helping to 'integrate this under- standing into society," he said. Asserting that society today has no idea of the impact of its new technology both now and in the future, he cited President John F. Kennedy's claim that America will need 25,000 new jobs every week to keep up with job displacement. "Secretary of Labor Arthur Goldberg says the figure is 35,000, and this shows there is no definite knowledge of technology's efforts," Woodcock said. "The universities, as creators of the problem, have the ability to stimulate the social progress nec- essary to accept the oncoming technology." Long-Range Plans Following Woodcock, Bursley spoke on the necessity of long range planning, commenting, "The big question is whether in 1970 we will be able to provide higher education for all qualified people who want it." He predicted that the present decade will see an increase in the number of community colleges and will see the creation of 'one two more four-year colleges.f orI Criticizes Plan He criticised the present capital outlay program because of "a tendency to conduct it on a year by year basis. It is imperative that we try to develop a long range constructive capital outlay program. We also need fiscal re- form in order to provide a more flexible tax base." Prof. Cutler explained that he1 wanted to examine some general considerations of society. "It is trite to say that we live in a society under stress. There are many sources of this stress: the bomb, Russia and China, Castro and the emerging nations, the conplexity of our mass technolog- ical society, the incomprehensi- bility of experience as character- ized by questions like 'how big is space', and competition and status." Cites 'Paralysis' Characterizing American re- sponse to this as a position of "urgent paralysis," he termed it as "a clustering under a protective. umbrella that is a combination of fallout shelters, mother, heaven and prosperity. And umbrella tip- ping has become a dangerous business." He said the university tradition includes the pursuit of truth, com-. passion forsindividuals and dif- ferent points of view, and an ob- jective rationality and maturity of judgement. This tradition often leads to proposals for change which are viewed by society as a threat to its security. It was a day of almost but noi quite enough yesterday for Michi- gan teams as the Wolverines copped four second-places anc only one championship. Coach Newt Loken's gymnasts provided the Wolverine victory at Columbus, their second straight, with 163_,points to runnerup Mich- igan State's 106'/. ;Team depth paid off as sophomore Arno Las- cari captured the only individua Michigan crown on the paralle bars. Michigan lost two close ones it track and wrestling. Wisconsir upset the defending champion Wolverines, 61-461/2, but Captain Ergas Leps was a double winnex in the mile and 880-yd run. Rod Denhart in the pole vault and Charles Aquino in the 1,000-yd run provided other Michigan firsts The wrestlers lost out to Iowi by a 51-46 count. Captain Dot Corriere at 167 .lbs and Fritz Kellermann at 137 lbs won in- dividual crowns. It was Corriere's second championship and Keller- mann's third. At Bloomington, Indiana proved to be a poor host, rolling up 2134 points en route to their second Big Ten consecutive swimming title. A determined Michigan team won no individual crowns but totalled 146 points to edge ou' Ohio State for second place. The hockey squad lost to Michi- gan Tech at the Coliseum in the Western Collegiate Hockey Asso- ciation playoff finals, 6-4, to also finish second. In basketball, the Wolverines easily downed Northwestern 82- 71 at Yost Field House. Gymnasts Win Conference Championshi By JAN WINKELMAN Special To The Daily COLUMBUS - The Michigan gymnastics team coasted to it second consecutive conference crown yesterday, amassing a to- tal of 163 points to outdistance second place Michigan State by 56% points. Illinois, which had won the gymnastics championship 13 year in a row prior to last year, wa third with 100 points.

Sponsored by the United States National Student Association, the conference held a series of workshops dealing with faculty freedom of expression, the student press, and student groups. Procedural safeguards are the best guarantees of student freedom, Rolland O'Hare of the American Civil Liberties Union said at the conference. "Students should par- ticipate in forming regulations in HAT T rR AfPDDRI more than an advisory capacity." i jit r ,, r: c' S i i, , . i t oi (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first in a series of eight bio- graphical profiles of University presidents. Henry Philip Tappan, an American living in Prussia, was the first president, taking office in 1852. Prior to that time the University had operated in Ann Arbor without a chief exec- utive.) By MICHAEL HARRAH HE YEAR 1851 found the University community rather distraught. The constitutional conven- tion of 1850 had provided for the election of the Regents, and the last appointed Board was'in the final stages of its term. However, the retiring Regents, all -Democrats, at the prospect of being replaced by the newly- elected Republicans, decided to go out in a blaze of glory. So they promptly fired Pro- fessors D. D. Whedon, who taught logic, and John H. Agnew, who taught Greek and Latin, for writing and speaking against slavery. And thus the work load fell on the generally acknowledged leader of the University, Prof. Andrew Ten B r k. had enough. The Board quickly agreed that the University needed a full-time president- an outstanding man who'd meet the problems head on. They settled on an eminent historian, Prof. George Ban- croft, but he declined, suggest- theories. He was greeted, how- ever, by the united opposition of the medical faculty, who, al- lopaths all, had heard that the new president had once con- sulted a homeopath. President Tappan went all out to be cordial, but suc- ceeded only in being barely approachable. His academic manner just didn't blend with the rustic manner of Michigan people. A University biographer, Kent Sagandorph, described Presi- dent Tappan as "a great man in an era liberally endowed with brilliance. He looked like a bronze statue somehow given the breath of life. He was about George Washington's size and general build," six feet thrc 3 or four, head held erect, a vocabu- lary of the most terrifying com- plexity, and a personality so austere that he seemed like an emperor. "Tappan emerged each morn- ing on his back porch as erect ind stiff as a Prussian general, marched through a grove of apple trees to the campus, and ESS: He warned that these rights must be protected against an arbi- trary student government as well as an arbitrary administration. Participants at the conference agreed that the procedures of reg- istration of student organizations should not be used to censor stu- dent groups. The problem of in loco parentis applies to all colleges and univer-. sities, Neal Johnston, head of NSA's Academic Freedom project, declared. "Education must occur in a con- text of freedom. Corners of en- croachment cannot be ignored," he said. Professors should not be limited to one viewpoint, nor should they be forced to present all viewpoints, O'Hare noted. Education Needed for Peace Special To The Daily KALAMAZOO - "More and more education is necessary than ever before to keep our nation in the forefront for peace, if that is possible, and for our protection, if it isnnot," University President Harlan Hatcher told a luncheon audience here yesterday. "The University must always be reaching up to new and higher levels, in order to move forward through the sixties in the same grand manner that has character- ized our campus until now." Addressing a gathering of Uni- versity friends and alumni at a it can build cathedrals to the gates of heaven; or it can turn the armed power of a whole nation to- ward the brutal subjugation of the entire world. "On the other hand,- they can turn their energy toward a peace- ful civilization where men can live with ever increasing progress." Education Key President Hatcher said that America alone, since the time of the Pilgrims, has had that, peace- ful objective. "Education is the keystone to that objective," he said. "From a meeting of emin( scientists right in our own F gents Room, we progressed to t heart warming achievement t happened at Cape Canaveral j twelve days ago.
