FIVE' COUNCIL SEATS AT STAKE:

GOP

Victories

In

City

By DAVID MARCUS and KATHRYN VOGT
- With little chance of a major Democratic upset, Republicans
appear almost certain to retain control of the Ann Arbor City Council
in tomorrow's election.
Five of 11 council seats are at stake in the contest with five Repub-
lican incumbents facing five Democratic hopefuls. Two University
professors, Dr. John Dowson of the dentistry school and Jacob M. Price
of the history department, are running against each other on the
Republican and Democratic, tickets respectively in the second ward
contest.
Democratic chances loom highest in the first and fifth wards. The
first ward, where Democrat Mrs. Eunice L. Burns faces Republican
Mrs. Gayle D. Flannery, has been a traditional source of Democratic
strength. The one Democrat presently on the council, Prof. Lynn W.
Eley of the political science department, is from this ward. Prof. Eley
and others have expressed optimism over the possibility of Democratic
control of this ward.
Chances in the other races are slimmer for the minority party.
In the, fifth district, where controversy has been growing over the
proposed Northbelt bypass which would skirt the edge of Ann Arbor.
and cut through this area, local politicians see a second hotly contested
race. Both candidates, Democrat Donald E. Hoff and Republican John
R. Laird, are opposed to the bypass and ask its relocation through
other areas.
Hoff wants the City Council to pass a resolution asking the State
Highway Department to relocate the planned route. Laird has simply
indicated that he wants a "redetermination of the route plans."

Designed as part of a program to relieve traffic congestion in the
city, the State Highway department has settled on locating Northbelt
through fifth ward property. All candidates favor the construction of
the roadway. Only the fifth ward candidates have asked a change of
location.
Other Issues
Other election issues include discrimination with the Democrats
lined solidly behind Eley's Fair Housing Ordinance which died in
Council for lack of a second. The Republican candidates generally
favored a more gradualist approach with an emphasis on voluntary
associations as opposed to legal action.
Third Ward Republican Robert E. Meader, an incumbent, notes
that he doesn't believe "lasting results can be obtained by forcing
people to discontinue discriminatory practices.
"We should encourage greater understanding through the Human
Relations Commission between various groups in the city," he says.
"Voluntary means of breaking the color line are progressing nicely."
Meader terms fair housing ordinances as "tools to harrass people.".
On the other hand, Meader's Democratic opponent Eugene V.
Douvan lends his support to a fair housing ordinance and has even
chided the city for alleged discrimination its employment, noting that
only four Negroes are employed by Ann Arbor above the level of
garbage collector.
The Fair Housing Ordinance has been one of the most contro-
versial issues in front of the City Council in the last year. After being
tabled by the Council it was referred back to the Human Relations

£lections
Committee, a study and education group sponsored b3
other groups, for additional work. The Ann Arbor Fai

Here's a rundown on the individual candidate
their stands on various issues.
First Ward
Mrs. Flannery, from the first ward, feels that,
problems lie in dealing with the difficulties of expa
proposed community college. She is a member of the
that outlined the original plans-and advocating tl
proach to race relations, she feels that the Ann Arbor
already confronted the major problems of the city
with "sound solutions."

the job.

(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the
Ssixth in a' series of eight bio-
graphical profiles of University
presidents.)
By MICHAEL HARRAH
H ARRY BURNS HUTCHINS
at 73 was tired out; he
could not continue as president.
He had transformed the Uni-
versity into a modern institu-
tion, and the Regents were
hard-pressed to find a good re-
placement.
In 1919, they prevailed upon
him to stay until they could
locate a successor, but it was
aot until 1920 that they settled
upon the president of the Uni-
versity of Minnesota, Marion
LeRoy Burton.
. Some the the firmly-en-
trenched faculty were disquiet-
ed at the prospect of President
Burton, with his many, new
ideas, but in reality the man
from Minnesota was the best-
qualified college president for
the University.
Expansion was his speciality.
He had just finished such a
task at Minnesota, and before
that he had overhauled the en-

The new president stiffened
the administration, introducing
modern methods of data pro-
cessing and communication. He
held mass meetings with the
faculty and, inaugurated the
Daily Official Bulletin in The
Daily.
In short, he spelled out a need
for team work and close co-
operation. Morale all over the
campus soared.
He presented a program of
construction that included ad-
ditions to Waterman Gym, and
erection of Randall Laboratory,
East Medical and East Engi-
neering Bldgs. And he never
stopped projecting for the
future.
President Burton was very
tall, and his carrot-hued hair
set off his height. He always
seemed very much a dynamo
bursting with energy. A Yale
divinity graduate, he had
taught in a country school un-
til he earned his scholarship
to the New Haven school. While
there he also earned his doc-
torate and was the first presi-
dent to have one.

Though his physical condi-
tion was excellent, he 'suffered
from heart seizures more and
more often. His close associates
hushed them up.
Finally he found, however,
that he had to limit himself to
only the necessary duties. He
turned over much of the ad-
ministration to the various
deans and turned his atten-
tion to expansion.
The University Hospital was
only partially finished, and $2.9
million was needed to complete
it. Accompanied by Regent Wil-
liam L. Clements of Bay City,
President Burton personally
travelled to Lansing to plead
with the Legislature.
4. * *
IT MUST have been a spell-
binding speech. He demanded
$19 million for a long-range
program and $5 million of that
right away. The legislators were
so awed that they piled into
cars and buses and came en
masse to Ann Arbor to survey
the situation.
President Burton portrayed a
nicture of misery to them. He

islature for his proudest ac-
complishment, and he set
about the construction of An-
gell Hall.
AND ALL THIS TIME it was
Regent Clements, chairman of
the building and grounds com-
mittee, who kept President Bur-
ton from collapsing from sheer
exhaustion.
One day, after coming from
a bedside session with President
Burton, he surveyed the jumble
of dingy shops and old homes
that lined the north side of
South University Street. He was
formulating a plan which re-
sulted in the donation of the
William L. Clements Library,
that would house some of the
most priceless books in the
world-his own collection.
He negotiated with several
fraternities and obtained a plot
across the street from the pres-
idents house on which to erect
the Cook Law Quadrangle and
Hutchins Hall, a product of
the Cook benefaction.
President Burton would gaze
out the windows of his home,
and he was pleased with the ac-

Answering his own question as
to whether YAP is succeeding, he
asserted that Russell Kirk has
said that 20 years ago there were
no conservative chapters on the
nations campuses whereas today
there are 165.
Ring of Newness
Addressing himself to the same
question Ross said that he was
not a pollster but that he was
"skeptical of talk of revival which
has a ring of newness which YAF
does not have."
He contended that the differ-
ence is one of organization. "Con-
servative youth are joining, pub-
lishing and demonstrating, some-
thing they did not do before."
He gave an "emphatic no" to
the question of whether the liberal
movement is on the decline. He as-
serted that the liberal movement
has grown more mature and poli-
tically sophicated even though
"some of us are becoming alarmed
at the lack of possibility for
change."
Perishable Commodity
He said that to the Conserva-
tives "freedom is a perishable
commodity and even expendable.

SPEAKERS :
U'. Studies
Propo.sal
By MICHAEL OLINICK
University administrators are
studying a proposal which might
change current policies toward
controversial speakers using cam-
pus facilities.
The Committee on University
Lectures has forwarded recom-
mendations to the administration
which detail a policy and a re-
vised Regents Bylaw to encompass
it, Prof. Samuel D. Estep of the
law school, committee chairman,
-said yesterday. Action on the pro-
posal by the Regents may come
at their April or May meeting, he
said.
Tentative Conclusions
Prof. Estep said that his com-
mittee has presented its "tenta-
tive conclusions" to Vice-President
for Student Affairs James A. Lew-
is. Lewis and other top adminis-
trative officers will review the rec-
ommendations and "may ask us
to consider some alternatives we
overlooked."
The seven-man study group was
named last fall after the original
lecture committee resigned because
of the cancellation of the annual
Platform Attractions series.
University President H a r 1 a n
Hatcher asked Estep to lead a new
student-faculty committee to re-
evaluate policy on outside speakers
and to look over Regents By-law
8.11 in the light of a new policy.
The committee also acted as the
lecture committee this year, grant-
ring nnroal for sneakers soonsor-

nicipal units and repeal of
some present taxes, such as in-
tangibles tax and the Business
Activities Tax, levied on the
gross sales of a . corporation,
regardless of profit.
Some nuisance taxes will be
passed to provide immediate rev-
enue.
Bitterly Opposed
The income tax has been bit-
terly opposed by GOP Senate reg-
ulars, and passage would represent
a major political breaK.
The first step in the coalition's
strategy to get its program through
the state Legislature will be to
discharge the Senate Taxation
Committee, bringing all tax bills
to the Senate floor for considera-
tion.
At present, only a package of
nuisance taxes is on the floor, with
all other proposals blocked in the
tax committee with little likeli-
hood of being reported out.
To Withdraw
Sen. Haskell Nichols (R-Jack-
son) has already introduced the
motion to discharge the taxation
committee, but he will withdraw
his motion, Thayer said. The mo-
tion will be immediately re-intro-
duced by Sen. Frank D. Beadle
(R-Ct. Clair). Beadle, the GOP
caucus leader, has been associat-
ed with the regular bloc, but he
has long favored a flat-rate in-
come tax.
The motion to discharge will
require 18 votes for passage, as
will the rest of the coalition's
strategy. Thayer said the votes are
there. The ten Senate Democrats
will join six of the senators who
have been identified as "moderate"
Republicans, Beadle and Sen.
