THE MICHIGAN DAILY SUNDAY, MA __________________________________s IRCH ... James B. Angell (Continued from Page 1) President Frieze had quietly stepped out. I * * * THE ANGELL administration, saw many Michigan firsts. President Angell started right out by reminding friends and alumni that the University could only be great if it had enough money. And he pointed .out that the University de- pended entirely on the state for every cent-a state yhich, he implied, hadn't in the past been any too reliable. Of course, the money poured in. He saw the introduction of football and baseball; he ini- tiated a full-range of electives to streamline the tedious un- dergraduate program; and he introduced the "faculty advi- sor" to "bring reason and me-. thod to the fantastic schedules undergraduates dream up for themselves.". And as the alumni opened up purses, the Legislature wasn't going to be outdone, and it responded too. Students grad- ually ceased commencing the day with fist fights at chapel, and new buildings went up all over campus. In 1880, President Ruther- ford B. Hayes selected Presi- dent Angell to head a United States mission to China to re- vise, the Burlingame Treaty. He was gone a year and a half, and-in his absense, the Univer- sity once again was guided under the hand of Henry Sim- mons Frieze, who found the situation just as he'd left it: the homeopaths and the al- lopaths were at it again. About this time, the first joyed the absence of dormi- sorority, Kappa Alpha Theta, made it appearance on campus, where fraternities had long en- tories, and President Frieze found the fraternities some- what intolerant of their sister societies. As he did when he, admitted the first woman, how- ever, Frieze had made it clear that sororities were just as wel- come as fraternities (though he; didn't say just how welcome that was), and sororities ar- rived for good. * * *. HENRY SIMMONS FRIEZE died of old age in 1889., Presi- dent Angell delivered the me- mnorial address, and the first state funeral ever held at the University saw him buried in Forest Lawn Cemetary. After 20 years as president, the man from Vermont had fallen into a rut. He had be- come mechanical; the faculty bypassed him whenever possible and took the problems to the Secretary of the University. He fought it for many years, but in the end he saw that he need- ed a change of scenery. So he accepted an appointment from President William McKinley in 1897 to become minister to Tur- key. The University rested in the hands of Harry Burns Hutch- ins, dean of the Law School. President Angell returned to celebrate a quarter century with the University. He re- turned to see the dynamic rise of Fielding H. Yost and Mich- igan's Wolverines. And he saw the enrollment roster rise to 5500 spread through seven de- partments and schools. He saw a library rise in the center of the "Diag," which was by this time sporting its criss-cross walkways. He returned to the construction of new dormi- tories. the original Union build- ing, and his pride, Alumni Memorial Hall, where he housed the prized art collections of the late Dr. Frieze. And he returned to finish his tenure of office, only 10 years of which remained. When he finally stepped down, he was 80 years old. In 1903, the death of Mrs. Sarah Caswell Angell, his beloved wife, slowed his pace. He knew .he must draw his tenure to a close. HE RETIRED in 1909, to live the rest of his life in the house where he had spent 38 years, rocking in a chair by thetpar- lor window, looking out on South University. His successor, who was chosen quicklyand without dissent, refused to have him evicted, preferring to live elsewhere. He died in 1916, in the house where President Harlan Hatcher lives today, almost a half-century after coming to Ann Arbor, and of him then his son wrote: "He gave the University a leadership which few men could have offered." Under James Burrill Angell, the University grew up. NEXT WEEK: HARRY B. HUTCHINS ext (EDITOR'S NOTE: The following is thertext of a report sub:itted by the Credentials and RulES Commit- tee to Student Government Council Friday. Committee members are Richard Noh, '62BAd, chairman; Thomas Brown, 63, Steven Stock- meyer, '63, Robert Ross, '63, Sharon Jeffrey, '63, Thomas Moch, '62, and Brian Glick, 62. Capitalized words within the report followthe style set by the committee. Section 1: Statement Concern- ing the Disqualification of Can- didates I) On March 19, 1962, the com- mittee took the following action: a) The committee voted to dis- qualify Stanley Lubin, '63, for vio- lation of the election rule which states that "Candidates must cir- culate their petitions personally," and that "All candidates shall ad- here to the rules concerning solica- tion of signatures in the residence halls, permission for this to be negotiated by the Elections Direc- tor wit hthe proper residence halls authorities," and further directed that Lubin's name should be struck from the ballot. On March 20, 1962, the Commit- tee took the following actions: a) (First meeting, 5-6:30 p.m.) The committee voted to disqualify Katy Ford, '64, for violation of the election rule which states that "Candidates must circulate their petitions personally," and further directed that Miss Ford's name be struck from the ballot. The com- mittee considered but rejected a proposal to invalidate the current election. The committee recom- mended that the present election rules and procedures be re- examined by Student Government Council. The committee censured its agent John Martin, '62, for his role in the violation of petition and election rules in the case of Miss Ford. b) (Second meeting, 11-2 a.m.) The committee received a com- plaint of an alleged violation by Larry Monberg, '63, of the elec- tion rule which states, "Candidates shall not circulate their petitions in classes, libraries, the Michigan Union, or meal lines in Univer- sity residence halls unless speci- fied permission is granted, this permission to be negotiated by the Elections Director." While the committee found a violation, it believed that Monberg satisfac- torily completed requirements set by the Elections Director. to rec- tify that violation, and therefore imposed no penalty. II) The committee believed it obligatory to disqualify candidates when, and only when, evidence brought before it clearly demon- strated that: a) A candidate deliberately violated a petition or election rule with knowledge of that rule; or b) A candidate violated a rule either accidentally or without knowledge of the rule and did not, once he knew of his violation, re- port it to an election official for the purpose of following proce- dures which that official states would legally rectify the violation. 1) Lubin deliberately violated a rule with knowledge of the rule and did not report his violation to any election official. 2) Miss Ford's violation was committed deliberately and with knowledge of the violated rule. Although she acted with the know- ledge and aid of an election of- ficial, by the end of the petition- ORGANIZATION, NOTICES Congr. Disc. E & R Stud.

Once he had knowledge of the violation, he reported the violation to an election official, was told by that official that he could legally rectify his violation if he followed certain procedures, and he did follow those procedures. III) On the basis of the com- mittee's knowledge of each case, it believes that it applied uniform criteria in all cases brought be- Section 2: Certification of the Election The committee believes that the SGOC elections should NOT be in- validated. Considering such a measure to be neither in the public interest, nor called for by the facts at its command, the committee states its position because of the widespread rumors and charges that have substantially distorted public consideration of the entire question., The committee believes that the primary basis for the invalidation of an entire election should be ex- tensive irregualrities and/or frauds in the election process itself. The committee considered a number of complaints concerning stuffed bal- let boxes in the current election, but has not been able to substan- tiate any of these charges. Even the number and character of the ALLEGED irregularities, was far short of that which would merit invalidation of an entire election. Together, they would not have significantly distorted the election results. The committee believes that ir- regularities in the petitioning pro-. cess are not of the same status as irregularities in the election it- self and do not merit invalidating an entire election. The committee believes this because it interprets the petitioning process and rules as the method by which a can- didate secures the placement of his naime on the ballot and other election literature. It has been argued in the last few days that the low number and quality of candidates-especially after the disqualification of Miss Ford and Lubin-should lead the committee to recommend invalida- tion of the elections. It should be made clear, from this point on, that the SGC Credentials and Rules Committee is not charged with securing the politically satis- factory numbers or quality of candidates. Nor is it charged with judging the validity of petition and election rules set by the Coun- cil. On the contrary, it would be an illegitimate use of the com- mittee's authority if it were to take upon itself to determine which of the Council's rules it should enforce and which it should not. The Credentials and Rules Com- mittee is charged with the admin- istration of an election-one which is conducted according to the rules set by the Council, in which the rules are administered fairly, and in which violations of these rules are dealt with while the Council is not meeting.. Any other interpre- tation of the committee's function misconstrues a semi-judicial body for an agent of political action. The committee would further point out that those who advocate invalidation of the election because of the loss of Council prestige misconstrue the charge of the Credentials and Rules Committee, the proper grounds for invalidat- ing an election, and the real ques- tions of prestige involved. Prestige. of the Council may suffer because of the quality of its legislation, the effectiveness of its administration,, of the clarity of its communica- tion. It will surely fall if the Council reverts to acting upon unsubstan- tiated rumor, rather than uphoid- ing the ground rules of its electo- rial process. Many of the courses of action prescribed for the corn- mittee by certain parties would have led the committee into great- er violation of equity than that of which these very parties- com- plain. If the committee had used its authority to make its own political judgment of the campaign, the basic right of voters to choose would have been eliminated. Neither the committee nor the Council has the right to over- throw the natural electoral pro- cesses because it feels that can- didates are not satisfactory in number or in quality. The committee notes charges that its action involving redistri- bution of Miss Ford's ballots cast on Tuesday March 20, 1962, con- stituted an undemocratic disen- franchisement of those who voted for her. Any time a candidate is penalized votes, voters are dis- enfranchised; any time an elec- tion is invalidated, voters are dis- enfranchised. Those who voted for Miss Ford on Tuesday had their votes redistributed to candidates of their next preference. The fact that they were unable to vote for her as a write-in candidate is part of HER penalty. The Creden- tials and Rules Committee did not determine the time Miss Ford's violation came before it (and therefore the timing of her dis- qualification); she did. The committee has been charged with applying a double standard in imposing penalties on various candidates about whom it heard complaints. This is false, as this entire report demonstrates. Ap- parently, most of these charges are based upon erroneous reports and rumors circulated without Ie- gard to facts. Finally, the committee has found no evidence to support the rumor that Martin, though in- volved in Miss Ford's violation of petition rules, was responsible for any other violations. Since the committee has evidence of only this one violation committed by him, it believes invalidation of the entire election because of NIar- tin's former position as temporary chairman of the committee would be unjustified. In short, the committee has been sensitive to the demands for a new election. It considered that alternative throughout its deliber- ations, but has not found proper grounds to take such action. Section 3 Seating of Candidates I) At its meeting of March 20, 1962, the committee received a complaint of an alleged Violation by Monberg of petition rule 3, which states ". . . Candidates shall not circulate their petitions in classes, libraries, the Michigan Union, or meal lines in University residence halls, unless specific per- mission is granted, this permission to be negotiated by the Elections Director." At that time the com- mittee found Mr. Monberg in vio- lation of petition rule 3, but de- clared "it believes that Monberg satisfactorily completed require- ments set by the Elections Direc- tor to rectify that violation." The committee therefore imposed no penalty on Monberg, Cook Lectures To Consider Role of Court Prof. Alpheus Thomas Mason of Princeton University will de- liver the 11th series of William W. Cook Lectures on American Institutions Monday to Friday. Each lecture will be given at 4:15 p.m. daily in the Rackham Amphi- theatre. In the five lectures he will con- sider the history, personalities, controversies and role of the Su- preme Court. Prof. Mason has written biographies of Justices Brandeis and Stone The lectures are as follows: Poli- tical System Without Model, But- tresses of Freedom, Cementing the Keystone, From Judicial Review to Judicial Supremacy, and Shor- ing the Republic'§ Foundation. At its meeting of March 22, 1962, the committee received a com-! plaint which claimed that Mon- berg had submitted false informa- tion to the Elections Director and deliberately falsified his testimony to the committee at its meeting of March 20, 1962. On the basis of a new hearing, the '.ommittee found: a) Since the requirements set by the Elections Director wcrt based upon false information pre- a candidate secures by filing a legal petition-for example, the right to have his name printed on the ballot. The committee followed this procedure in the cases con- cerning Miss Ford and Lubin. It was unable to follow it in Mon- berg's case ONLY BECAUSE Mon- berg testified falsely. c) If the Council were to seat Monberg, it would allow to go un- penalized two instances of falsi- fication of information and an established and legally aot recti- fied violation of its petition rules. On the other hand, Miss Ford has already been penalized. APPENDIX (EDITOR'S NOTE: The following are minutes of the March 23 meet- ing of the Credentials and Rules Committee. Minutes of the three previous meetings are summarized in the report. March 22, 1962 ' Announcement 1:30 a.m. March 23, 1962. The Credentials and Rules Com- mittee announced that it is con- tinuing its deliberations, and will have a report prepared for pres- entation to SGC at its meeting Friday afternoon, March 23, at 4:15 p.m. -Richard Nohl, Chairman The committee received several complaints from various parties prior to the deadline for submis-. sion of complaints previously set. Those submitted after the dead- line were not accepted, but may be referred directly to SGC. Each complaint received the individual attention of the committee. The various complaints and their dis-' position are as follows: A complaint was received stat- ing that Mr'. Batlle had presented, and a poll worker had accepted, two ballots for the same election in the Fishbowl on Tuesday. The complaint was studied, six per- sons were called to testify, but the complaint was not substantiated. Several complaints dealing with a lack of availability of ballots at several polling places in the Board of Control of Intercollegiate Athletics, Board in Control of Stu- dent Publications, Board of Direc- tors of the Michigan Union, and class officer elections, were re- ferred to Joint Judiciary Council. A complaint concerning a stu- dent who had voted twice was referred to Joint Judiciary Coun- cil. An investigation was conducted regarding possible ballot stuffing for Monberg at the Undegraduate Library poll. Two poll workers were interviewed. No evidence of ballot stuffing was found. The committee considered a complaint that Monberg solicited many more signatures in the Union than he had previously tes- tified tohaving solicited. (The committee's disposition of this complaint may be found in Sec- tion 3 of the committee's report, entitled "Seating of Candidates"). Another complaint was received concerning Monberg's solicitation of signatures in the Union: and in his classes, and was not fully in- vestigated due to the disposition of the previously named complaint. Three complaints were received concerning candidates who were not declared elected. Two con- cerned the alleged illegal posters in residence halls, and the third concerned an announcement for a candidate in a classroom by a faculty member. Because the can- didates involved were not elected, the committee chose not to deal with them further. A complaint was received stating that several of Monberg's posters had been illegally placed in a residence hall. The committee felt the complaint could not be sub- stantiated because it contained in- sufficient facts, and that further consideration was unnecessary as explained above. Some complaints were received requesting the invalidatioh of the entire SGC election. The commit- tee has considered that alternative throughout its deliberations and rejected the proposal. (The com- mittee's remarks on this question may be found in Section 2 of the committee's report, entitled "Cer- tification of the Election.") Financial statements of all elected candidates were reviewed again, but no irregularities were found. The committee voted unani- mously to include Miss Ford in its recommendations;for the seating of candidates for the Council. (The committee's remark s on this matter may be found in Section 3 of the committee's report, en- titled "Seating of Candidates.") The committee unanimously voted to recommend to the Coun- cil that it seat the following per- sons for one year terms on HGC: Kenneth Miller, Richard Q'sell, Katherine Ford, Howard Abrams, Fred Batlle. The committee approved its Report to Student Government Council. RICHARD NOHL heads committee sented to the Elections Director by Monberg, the legal rectification which Monberg previously claimed was invalid. b) Monberg deliberately falsi- fied his testimony before the com- mittee at its meeting of March 20. 1962.j It is on the basis of the above considerations that the committee does not recommened that the Council seat Monberg. II) To clarify the above decision, the committee wishes to point out the differences between Monberg 's case and that of Miss Ford. a) Monberg did not report his violation to the committee and when it was reported, TESTIFIED FALSELY in order to avoid the penalty imposed on Miss Ford. Miss Ford reported her violation, to the committee, TESTIFIED HONESTLY, and had her name stricken from the ballot. b) The committee believes that if violations of petition rules are to be penalized, such penalties should restrict the rights which [UDS RUSH PLAN: Peterson Reviews Year* . .............. y,. t. v ."... v:{...a......., , r. :"". a "." .v:::.": " ..":": e.".": :v....:.x^...... , :".".at:v:.".-. w. .%" "ov , s",vr. .,_,.ri"..:e::":SG:Sc:ir :;'" ...

Peterson said the program, which will begin next fall, will help the rushees by requiring them to visit at least eight houses, and will also help small fraternities because the men will be seeing more of the houses. He mentioned improved rela- tions between IFC and Inter- Quadrangle Council, which result- ed in speaker programs in the quads during the first part of the, fall with fraternity men providing information on rushing procedures and affiliate life in general. This was the first year that IFC ever supported candidates for Stu- dent Government Council. Peter- son said the interviewing sessions helped to create much awareness among fraternity men about the Council. IFC's Executive Council placed more emphasis on service proj- ects. "The committee was great- ly concerned with events perpe- trated by a small minority of fra- ternities which reflected badly on the system as a whole," Peterson said. Viewing the area of memnbership selection, he remarked that most of the work was done by the IFC officers on an individual basis Peterson and the other IFC leaders consulted extensively with presidents of houses to help in- form them 'of University and IFC regulations dealing with this sub- ject.
