LXXII, No. 147 ANN ARBOR ,MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, APRIL 26, 1962 SEVEN CENTS EIGHT PAGES Council Debates Motion on Daily Considers Stockmeyer Amendment To Delete Statement on Position BULLETIN At 1:45 a.m. Council tabled the Daily motion by a vote of 8-5. By GAIL EVANS As The Daily went to press last night Student Government Council was considering a substitute motion for the motion concern- ing The Daily indicated on the agenda. The new motion introduced by Robert Ross, '63, made sub- stantial additions to the original motion by Katherine Ford, '64, asked that Council "not inject itself into the current controversy over appointments to the senior editor positions." The Council is debating an amendment which would delete refer- ences to criteria to Daily appointments originally contained in the Ross motion. Ross' motion states that "Council affirms the belief' Sees Dorm as Student Aid By ELLEN SILVERMAN The residence hall can and should be a "scene of guided growth and development for the individuals concerned; growth in the sense of achiev- ing intellectual and social ma- turity" Prof. John W. Kidd of Northwestern State College of Natchitoches, La. says in his book "Residence Hall Guid- ance." This growth can only be ob- tained in an atmosphere of in- formality Prof. Kidd continues. "It should be apparent that such a process of socialization ... cannot be foisted upon stu- dents through sponsored, overt- ly official programs. To do so would be futile in that the very formality of the steps would destroy the informality so vital to its operation." To Prof. Kidd, the ideal situ- ation is a residence hall where staff men, acting as residence hall assistants, are able to func- tion as acceptable leaders to the peer groups over which they have authority. Identify Leaders "So it becomes necessary to identify the real leaders - this can be done by skillfully de- signed and administered socio- metric research - and to work through them toward the at- tainment of residence hall goals on the part of the resi- dents." Prof. Kidd believes that the ideal staff should be chosen through the use of- question- aires of the residents. These confidential questionaires will inquire into the traits which students feel are necessary for a person in the position and asks for specific names of those whom the students feel would make residence assist- ants. He claims that 95 per cent accuracy can be gained by us- ing such forms and consequent- ly the men and staff form an efficient working body with which everyone is satisfied. Informal Leadership When staff assistants are chosen on the basis of leader- ship in informal groups, a more effective relationship comes in- to existence between them and the residents. The questionaires point out people who have been accepted as leaders in the in- formal situation and changing from this to a staff position is relatively simple, the book points out. "The leader wants his opin- ion to be respected and. indeed, it is a serious mistake for the administration to ignore his opinions. The student leader should be given responsibility to the limit of his ability to assume it - and tnis ability seems most often to be consid- erably in excess of guidance w o r k e r s' expectations. He should not be over-supervised," Prof. Kidd notes. Only when the leader is ac- ceptable to the people he is "leading" and feels that he has authority will he be effective. "He needs to feel that he is trusted, that he is thought to be capable, that he is maximal- ly responsible - 'he will think so only if he is.' " Artificial Atmosphere Because the natural leader will function more effectively, Prof. Kidd strongly recom- mends that graduate students not be appointed merely be- cause they are graduates. "Such a system of graduate 'counselors' with no interven- ing recognition of natural group leadership provides an artificial and often highly authoritarian atmosphere." In fact, all aspects of the residence hall should be geared to a democratic or cooperative base. "If an institution expects to be highly authoritarian in relation to its students, if the residence hall staff is so dis- posed irrespective of institu- tional policy, if the residence hall program contains predom- inant elements of police-type supervision, then normal peer relationships and leader-group relationships are disrupted, circumvented, frustrated and cannot be systematically util- ized by the institution for the achievement of a realistically oriented base for rationality." Prof. Kidd sees a need for the overhaul of many present situations based on his find- ings. It is essential that "the staff person who works in the residence hall guidance role should function as a leader of students leaders" and only the type of questionaire which he advocates will be able to give to the administration such in- formation. Also, "too many grossly unsuitable staff guid- ance persons are retained in misguided institutional benevo- lence," and should be changed. New Levy Passed By Close Margin GOP Names Francis To Replace Beadle in Majority Leader Position By DAVID MARCUS The Senate yesterday passed a state income tax, 18-15. The levy, three per cent on personal incomes, five per cent on net corporate incomes, and seven per cent on the net income of banks and other financial institutions, passed the Senate with no votes to spare after an all night session of debate and parliamentary maneuvering. In the process, Re- publicans deposed moderate Sen. Frank D. Beadle (R-St. Clair) from his position as majority caucus leader and re- placed him with anti-income tax leader Lynn O. Francis (R- Midland). Today, the Senate will begin wading through 13 more bills that together form an overall tax package tied to the income tax. Immediately ate Convention. Sets Change In Senate LANSING (P)-Michigan's Con- stitutional Convention gave 81- 45 approval yesterday toa 38- member Senate, whose members would serve four-year terms. The Senate now has 34 members elected for two years. At the same time, the Convention voted to leave the House of Representatives at 110 members, but under a plan that would more nearly than now apportion seats on a population basis. Yesterday's action came on sec- ond reading of a Republican- drafted apportionment proposal,' which must survive a final vote later on. It will be subject to amendment then, as it was yester- day, and will require a majority vote of 73 for adoption, as it did yesterday. In other second-reading action, the Convention decided to make pay increases for the state's 31,000 civil service employes subject to veto by the Legislature. This came on a narrow 64-62 vote. 4that The Daily is founded on the principle that students, given pro- per training and guidance,'can be trusted to manage a great news- paper with maturity, responsibility and good sense." It emphasizes that the "editors ought to have as much control over the policies of their news- paper as is possible." The rationale behind this is "to provide an open forum from which Sstudents can express their opin- ions." To do this The Daily "ought to maintain its open editorial page 'under a policy of freedom of ex- pression grounded on fact." In other action Council presi- dent Steven Stockmeyer, '63, told the Council last night that many letters mailed on March 8 in- forming sororities and fraternities that their statements on mem- bership were inadequate had been lost in campus mail. He said that the letters which were found Tuesday in the base- ment of the Administration Bldg. were remailed yesterday by regis- tered mail. Since the January 17, 1962 mo- tion on membership gave the groups 60 days from the time of notification to comply with the adequacy ruling the sororities and fraternities will have until Junel 23, to file statements. ... . ..... ..... .......1...... ......... .. . .. :rr...." .

FEINGOLD, KAUFMAN SPEAK: Students Rally Against HA By HELENE SCHIFF and CAROLYN WINTER About 350 students assembled on the Diag yesterday in a protest rally against the House Commit- tee on Un-American Activities. Speaking at the rally sponsored by Voice Political Party and Young Democratic Club were Prof. Eu- gene Feingold of the political sci- ence department and Prof. Arnold Kaufman of the philosophy de- partment. Prof. Feingold spoke on the Con- don case of 1947 as an "illustration of the basic characteristic of the committee, namely, its inaccuracy in what it does." Edward Condon, who was at the time head of the Bureau of Stand- ards, was accused by the Commit- tee of being "the weakest link in our atomic security." He repeated- ly asked for a hearing and was never granted one. The Committee cited as evidence a letter from J. Edgar Hoover us- ing only the favorable information. They read a quote which said that Condon had contact with officials of the Polish government but they didn't read the sentence which stated that his contacts were not for the purpose of espionage, Prof. Feingold said, citing this as an ex- ample of inaccuracy. Prof. Kaufman noted two valid REGENTS MEETINGS: BoyShatters 130-Year Tradition questions in considering the justi-' fication of HUAC: 1) can the Com- mittee's actions and operations in the past be justified? and 2) can the Committee be justified if es- tablished on a new basis? To these questions, Prof. Kauf- man said "no." He used the testimony of the Cogley hearing, which was con- cerned with Cogley's report on black listing of entertainers, as an example of the Committee's past unjustifiable behavior. Purpose 'Incompatible' "The purposes of most of the members of the Committee are different and incompatible with the alleged function of the Com- mittee," Prof. Kaufman noted. In the Cogley hearing intimida- tion and insinuation were the pur- poses of the attorney for the pros- ecution, he added. The members of thencommittee define as subversive anyone who questions the basic assumptions of society, especially those concern- ing civil liberties and economic as- sumptions. "Nothing is more important in a university than to be subversive in this sense of the word, meaning to systematically examine assump- tions people take for granted. This does not mean to overthrow the government," Prof. Kaufman said. No Threat In answer to the question of a future altered HUAC, Prof. Kauf- man said that it was not useful unless there is evidence of signifi- cant internal threat. Robert Ross '63, chairman of the rally, concluded the meeting with an appeal for action and dedica- tion in abolishing the committee. This action can be in the form of letters to congressmen, he noted. "If you believe in change, the Committee is your enemy," RossI concluded. Board Sets Repetitioning Standards Prof. Olin L. Browder. Jr., of the Law School, chairman of the Board in Control of Student Pub- lications yesterday issued the fol- lowing statement, regarding the reopening of petitioning for The Daily's senior positions: "In view of the refusal of all but one of the newly-appointed senior editors to accept their positions, it became necessary for the Board to initiate machinery for appoint- ing new editors. "The only fair way to do this is to reinstitute the petitioning process. The Board is calling for petitions for these offices (except City Editor) by May 15. "The qualifications announced are Junior standing and academic eligibility. The journalistic quali- fications of the petitioners will be of paramount importance and should be stated fully in the peti- tions. "Those who petitioned for Sen- ior editorial positions previously will be welcome to petition again." Prof. Browder disclosed that the Board will meet after the deadline date to consider the petitions and to meet with petitioners. Sukarno Sets Policy Talks JAKARTA M-)-President Ahmed Sukarno leaves today for Medan. He will make an important speech believed to have a bearing on current United States diplo- matic attempts to seek a peaceful solution to Indonesia's dispute with the Netherlands. stake is a bill reducing the sales tax by one cent and an- other providing the exemp- tions for the income tax. Little Speculation Leaders of the coalition of ten moderate Republicans and eight Democrats who combined to pass the tax refused to speculate on the final fate of the total package. Sen. Stanley G. Thayer (R-Ann Arbor) noted that it "looks good" but that "when you try to pass a large package, you can be at- tacked from all sides.' Total Package Republicans are using a mo- tion to reconsider the income tax bill as a means to keep the bill in the Senate until the fate of the total, package is known, Thayer said. It was also noted that Sen. Haskell L. Nichols, who voted for the tax, wanted the reconsidera- tion in order to discuss tax ex- emptions for industry. Beadle, who led the floor fight for the tax, noted that "my posi- tion on the income tax was not in sympathy with that of the ma- jority (of Republicans)." He not- ed that he had offered his resig- nation a month ago and that yes- terday's action was to be expected. No Statement Governor John B. Swainson's office has not yet disclosed its position on yesterday's Senate ac- tion; though Swainson has said that if the only revenue measure passed by the legislature is an in- come tax, he would veto it. al- though he personally backs it as part of his total fiscal program. Beadle predicted that Swainson would most likely accept the total package now in the Senate but that speculation was difficult be- cause the ultimate result "depends on what happens between now and the time the package reaches the governor's desk." Voting for the bill were : Beadle, Nichols, Thayer, John W. Fitzgerald (R-Grand Ledge); Frederic Hilbert (R-Wayland); William G. Milliken (R-Traverse City); Farrell E. Roberts (R-Pon- tiac); John H. Stahlin (R-Beld- ing). Charles S. Blondy. (D-Detroit); Basil W. Brown (D-Detroit; Pat- ric J. Doyle, (D-Dearborn); Ray- mond D. Dzendzel (D-Detroit); Garland Lane (D-Flint); Charles 0. McManiman, (D-Houghton); Stanley Novak (D-Detroit); Phil- lip Rahoi (D-Iron Mountain); Stanley F. Rozycki (D-Detroit) and George C. Steeh (D-Mt. Cle- mens). By MICHAEL HARRAH Acting City Editor Special To The Daily (EDITOR'S NOTE: Although the first public meeting of the Regents will not be held until May, there is no need to try to be the first per- son to sign up. That "honor" has been pre-empted. One member of the public has already attended. This is his story.) LANSING-Seemingly oblivious of the fact that he shattered 130 years of tradition in January, the youngster in the red blazer and the black bow tie goes about his duties from 9 to 5 at the Capitol in the center of Lansing. However, on Jan. 17, this same young House of Representatives page was the first layman ever to attend a meeting of the Re- gents-the first citizen to be able to take an interest in that phase of his government. (Regents meetings have not been open to the public.) Young Willard "Bill" Huss of Niles had a definite reason for attending. "I'm working as a page to save money for my tuition at the University," he earnestly in- formed Regent Irene E. Murphy of Birmingham. "Legislators talk about the Regents, but I wanted to see them for myself." "How did you find us?" Mrs. Murphy inquired. "Pretty formal," Bill replied. Routine Session To tell the truth, he almost slept as University Executive Vice- President Marvin L. Niehuss dron- SEN. FRANK D. BEADLE .. . deposed leader in government. At barely nine years of age, he was campaigning his neighborhood for whatever Re- publicans would give him some- thing to pass out. Legislative Appointee Obviously impressed by "his am- bition and his vast understanding of matters political," Speaker of the House Don R. Pears (R- Buchanan) appointed Bill as a pageboy for the current legislative session, and the youngster has risen to the occasion. Arriving at the Capital at 9 a.m., he sets about filing the bills and proposals that have been intro- duced in each of the representa- tives desks. The House this session saw 762 bills introduced before the Feb. 21 deadline, and so often the filing turns into a formidable task. Then to there's the representa- tives' mail to be distributed and the Journal of proceedings from the day before to be distributed- all before the House convenes, usually at 2 p.m. Call Board As the Speaker rhythmetically bangs his gavel, the six pages sta- tion themselves next to the ros- trum, where they can keep an eye on the call board in the back of the room, which lights up when one of the 110 representatives thinks up some errand. Throughout the day, the boys are on call to aid the steno- graphers with bulk mailings from various legislators, and they also help guide the many school groups that visit the Capitol every day. If the session is concluded be- fore 4:30 p.m., there's usually an- other stack of bills to be filed before dinner. Special Tutor Evenings are often taken. up by schoolwork, under the watchful eye of a special tutor, around the large conference table in the House Judiciary Committee room. Bill is still responsible for a full se- mester's work back at Niles Junior High School, and he must be prepared to pass his final exams when he goes home in May. After studies it's home to his residence with Mr. and Mrs. Ron- ald Stauffer, Lansing school teach- ers, to rest up for another busy day. Busy as the job may seem, how- ever, it isn't all work and no play. The House pages are by tradition the life of the Capitol, thinking up one stunt after another. Elevator Operator Representatives think nothing of finding Bill operating the elevator when they leave at night, or being barracaded by the chain of paper clips that young William Hay- ward, son of the GOP representa- tive from Royal Oak, has streched across the aisle. But the representatives are un- concerned at their antics. "They work very hard when there's work to be done," Speaker Pears says. And Rep. Gail Handy (R-Eau Claire) adds, "This is the best experience in the world for them." Bill tells everyone who'll listen about the University and his plats to attend. "I want to take political science and law," he told Handy. "That way I'll be better equipped to run for office." He picked the University because "it's the only one with a good political science department and a good law school." Political Ladder He's charted his political career from the bottom. Explaining his Set To Draft Conservative As Candidate- By MICHAEL HARRAH Acting City Editor Irate outstate Republicans, in .reaction against the threatening state income tax now being de- bated in the Legislature, yester- day announced they will draft a "conservative, anti-tax candidate" to oppose constitutional conven- tion delegate George Romney (R- Bloomfield Hills) for the guber- natorial nod. George A. Evers of Niles, chair- man of the Berrien County Re- publican Committee, the ninth largest such GOP bloc in the state, said yesterday that his group will actively draft St. Joseph business- man Montgomery Shepard to op- pose the Detroit auto-maker. Signature Drives Berrien County Clerk Frank X. Duerr, Jr., will spearhead the drive to collect the 40,000-50,000 signa- tures that will be needed to file Shepard's name for the August primary, and although Shepard said he was not a candidate for any office, Duerr said that he will go ahead with his plans. Evers pointed out that Shepard has been active in Republican pol- itics for many years, and, al- though he has never sought public office before, his "popularity in outstate counties is broad." Evers' county committee kicked off the draft movement yesterday with a unanimous endorsement of Shepard's candidacy, and Evers said he foresaw no trouble in col- lecting the necessary signatures or finances. Against Tax Evers said that Shepard is "pos- itively against the' state income tax. He is quoted as saying that 'on top of a four per cent sales tax and a five per cent corporate profits tax, an income tax will not attract more industry to our state nor keep present citizens here. Additional tax burdens are not the answer for the ineffective- ness of the present state adminis- tration." . Evers said that Shepard would Campus Anticipates Mlichigras By H. NEIL BERKSON The campus' biggest weekend, Michigras. is all set to begin, General Co-chairman Edward Stein, '63, says.
