Offering the motion to amend the Bylaws to allow open sessions, Regent Donald M.

Military leaders who ousted Ar- turo Frondizi as president last month were pressuring Guido to take stern executive action against Peronists. Civilians Resign Civilian members of Guido's cabinet were reported to have tendered their resignations to give the President a free hand for a cabinet shakeup he announced last night. This was regarded as a move to strengthen Guido's stand against anti - Peronist military leaders. The reports said, however, Giudo did not immediately accept any resignations except Gen. Carrera's. A proclamation issuIed by the rebels said it represented the thinking of the army commanders there on recent turns in the Ar- gentine crisis. Oppose Peronists However, the proclamation said they opposed Peronists in public office and made clear the officers did not want Frondizi to return to power. Reports brew that the rebels in Campo de Mayo were winning support from other army units. Leaders of the Campo de Mayo group' apparently were Gen. En- rique Rauch, commander of the cavalry corps, and Gen. Carlos Augusto Caro, commander of the cavalry instruction center. "Campo de Mayo is ready to fight for the full rule of the con- stitution and democracy," Gen. Caro told newsmen. Most Powerful The garrison is the most power- ful military installation in Argen- tina. Traditionally, the army cav- alry has been linked with nation- alist movements. Some officers there said tonight they preferred to be called members of a "na- tional movement" as distinguished from nationalistic. Top military leaders have been pressuring Guido for decrees that would nullify Peronist victories and set the stage for a Presidential election. Guido's office said in a com- munique earlier the President had promised to call new elections and had decided to reshuffle his cabi- net. In the fisrt move economy minister Federico Pinedo, a con- servative anti-Peronist, announced his resignation. There were no noticeable troop movements around this capital. But soldiers previously had been confined to barracks. Campo De Mayo In this capital, one military source called the Campo De Mayo proclamation a "plain subversion against discipline and the author- ities. As the army developments un- folded, there were meetings of high officers in the Navy and Air Force. Top naval sources said there was absolutely no truth to re- ports that a similar move was threatened in the Navy. The communique from Guido's office said he pledged to call the election in the shortest possible time during the last eight years." He proposed to amend Bylaw 1.02, Place of Meeting, to read: "All formal sessions shall be open to the public." Immediate Effect Secretary of the University Erich A. Walter informed the Board that should the motion be approved it would take effect immediately. Director of University Relations Michael K. Radock outlined the regulations that will govern pub- lic attendance. A pass, issued by Un'iversity Re- lations at least a day in advance, will be required for all meetings, and interested individuals will be expected to arrive promptly and stay throughout the session. The meetings will continue to be held in the Regents Room. The public will not be allowed to participate. Maintain Decorum Regent Eugene B. Power of Ann Arbor stressed that guests will have to maintain the present decorum of the meetings, and said that it was "only common sense" to limit capacity. Radock presently pro- poses to admit only about 40-50, an amount that can be "comfort- ably accommodated." Regent Irene L. Murphy of Birmingham protested that the proposed regulations for open ses- sions were ."reluctant and nega- tive. I would like to something more positive," she said. Regent Carl Brablec of Rose- ville concurred that "perhaps thirty days should be taken to study this matter." But Regent Thurber was adam- ant. "I think the regulations as proposed by the administration are well-thought and positive. We would have little trouble putting them into immediate effect." Commenting on the action af- terwards, University President Harlan Hatcher noted that the trend among governing boards about the country is to open the meetings to the public, and he said that he felt it would "work well." Tax Deadlock, In other action, President Hatcher informed the Board that he was "pleased at the effort Sen. Frank D. Beadle (R-St. Clair) is making to break the tax dead- lock," and he said that he was hopeful that the University would be appraised of its appropriation for the coming year during the first week in May. He reserved the approval to call the Board into special session to take any action that might be necessary on the matter of finan- ces before the next regular meet- ing May 18. Detroit Press Hit By Work Dispute DETROIT U)-New work stop- pages by craft union members yes- terday foiled the plans of this city's two major daily newspapers to resume publication following settlement of a contract dispute with the Teamsters Union. nNew Edi1tors In an appointments session more heated than any In recent memory, The Board in Control of Student Publications last night overruled major recommendations by the present senior editors "of The Daily. Tlle senior editorial staff, whose term of office officially ends in June, resigned in protest this morning. The business and sports staffs were not in- "- volved. The Board's controversial action was in two parts: . It changed three of seven recommendations for appoint- ments. 0 It re-structured the staff, choosing two Co-Editorial Direc- tors in place of the traditional set- up of Editorial Director and As- sociate Editorial Director. The procedure for appointments was in three basic steps: A committee of the Board con- cerned with The Daily interviewed eight petitioners Wednesday night. Prior to this meeting, Daily Edi- tor John Roberts, '62, gave an hour-long presentation of the ra- tionale for his staff's unanimous recommendations. Last night, the full Board con- sidered the proposals of The Daily committee and made its decisions. The Board's move was thus based on formal petitions and inter- views, plus the group's knowledge of the newspaper from a non- operative point of view. The Board has final auttiority for the newspaper, but does not in practice direct its staff, its edi- torial policy or other phases of day-to-day publication. However, it sets ground rules for the opera- tion of the publication and makes all appointments to staff positions. In a senior editorial announc- ing their resignation, the senior editors said the Board was un- justified in overturning the resig- nations. They contrasted their long appointments deliberation with the Board's action, which they called hasty and superficial. They said the action contradict- ed the principle that students are sufficiently responsible to run a newspaper, and called the action a vote of no confidence in their staff. As the paper went to press this morning at 3 a.m., Board Chair- man Prof. Olin D. Browder was in conference with the newly- appointed senior staff and not available for comment. DAILY APPOINTMENTS--Michael Olinick (upper left) and Lee Sclar (upper right) were last night appointed as Daily Editor and busi- ness manager, respectively, by the Board in Control of Student Publications. Other senior appointments made by the Board to The Daily's editorial and business staffs included (from left to right) Michael Harrah, city editor; Judith Oppenheim and Caroline Dow, co- editorial directors; and Thomas Bennett, advertising manager. Announce I Appointmient Of 'U' Staff Prof. Irving Leonard of the ro- mance languages department was named the Domino Faustino Sar- miento University Professor. of Spanish - American History and Literature by the Regents at their regular meeting yesterday. The Board also appointed Glenn D. Gosling director of the Univer- sity Press, effective May 15, to fill the vacancy left by Fred D. Wieck who resigned last October.! Prof. Helen D. Prince of the astronomy department was named associate director of the McMath- Hulbert Observatory, effective May 1. Prof. Prince .ll replace Prof. Orren C. Mohler of the astronomy department.

AnEditorial 4©{ THE MICHIGAN DAILY is founded on a principle-the principle that students, given proper training and guid. ance, can be trusted to manage a great newspaper with maturity, responsibility and good sense. In defense of that principle-in full knowledge of the gravity of our actions- we, the Senior Editors of 1962 must resign. The relation of the Board in Control of Student Publica- tions to the student staff of The Michigan Daily is an ambiguous and delicate one. The Board has ultimate and absolute authority. But at no time in the history of The Daily has it sought to impose prior censorship, and indeed The Daily's record of untrammeled editorial freedom can be matched by few other college newspapers. The .Board's function in regard to appointment of senior editors has always been more active, however. The Board has never dele- gated this power. Nevertheless over the years the outgoing staff of senior editors have come to exert a powerful and wholly justifiable influence on appointments. After long hours of discussion and contemplation, the senior staff submits a set of recom mendations to the Board. These have always figured promin- ently in the decision of the Board; in recent years they have been accepted without change. THIS YEAR the Senior Editors went to especially great pains to insure that the recommendations were sound. We have, of course, known and worked with the petitioning juniors for two and three years. As seniors, we have observed them from a particularly critical vantage point. Since the beginning of the semester we have spent literally hundreds of hours discussing appointments. In addition, the Editor, City Editor and Editorial Director formally interviewed every petitioning junior for about one and one-half hours each. Our final decision was unanimous. The Board in Control, in contrast, dealt with the solemn responsibility of aopointments hastily and superficially. Its sole contact with the junior staff was a fifteen minute inter- view with each petitioner, tlus written petitions and scrap- books. Some members of the Board did not know the first name or ever the sex of the juniors: at least one did not know the structure of the senior staff. After only a few hours of 0-.sson. the Bos,-d -nroTed a. slate of nonointments which differed imnortantly from the seniors' recommendations. ITUCH IS MADE of the need for responsibility on the part of students on The Daily, and students are quite properly checked by the ultimate authority of the Board in Control. But who will guard that self-same guardian? When the Board in Control behaves irresponsibly, taking actions which are not in the best interests of The Daily, students . .. « +t._. 1...o +,. + o-..ct ar PUBLICATIONS APPOINTMENTS: Joel, Kramer To He d 'Ensian Staff By MARJORIE BRAHMS Linda Joel, '63, will head next year's Michiganensian staff and Personnel Director Ronald Kramer, '64, will be the new business manager.
