The Big Ten Student Body Presidents yesterday passed resolu-
tions on discrimination in student organizations, on the United States
National Student Association and agreed upon a plan to exchange
information regularly on topics that are of general interest to the
Sschools.
They agreed to "reaffirm the principle that no student organi-

sources said yesterday.
A six-nation experts' meeting
scheduled yesterday was can-
celled, and European officials' said
there would be no session along-
side the annual NATO Spring
Conference.
At best, they said, there would
possibly be some talks aimed at
narrowing, if possible, the differ-
ences on the shape and powers of
a future European political au-
thority-.
Issue of Great Britain
This issue, and the question of
whether Britain should be invited
to sit on current political negotia-
tions, deadlocked the foreign
ministers of the six countries held
last month in Paris.
The ministers said then they
*would take advantage of their
presence in Athens to continue dis-
cussions on the problem which pit-
ted Belgium and Tihe Netherlands
against France, West Germany,
Italy, and Luxembourg.
To Meet Again
However, the six ministers will
mneet again next week in Brussels
as part of negotiations with Lon-
don on Britain's possible entry into
may then be able to resume ta.ks
on the political issue.
In negotiations thus far, France',
West Germany and Italy, with
support from Luxembourg, have
held out for a loose confederation,
short of European union. Each
member would wield a veto on

sought a tighter, more federal-
type structure to which member
states would delegate a portion of
sovereignty. This would be pat-
terned after the existing steel-coal
pool and the Common Market,

majority vote.

The liberal organization's new

chairman of the politics depart-
ment at Brandeis University, is-

"The fact that these travelers

ness of the act of the Citizens

humani beings as pawns in their
own fight against civil rights is
the most base form of callousness "
Roche called for the full utli-
ization of fair housing ordinances,
low income housing programs and
the recently enacted Federal re-
training program to help in the
"slto of the economic and
social problems resulting from the
uner. migration of Southern Ne-

or on the basis of religion or na-
tional origin, unless such a criter-
ion is judged, by an appropriate
of the organiation and is coss
tent with the goals of the univer-
sity."
Define NSA Functions
The presidents, expressing con-
fidence that NSA can advance the
welfare of college students, also
stated that they believe, "the pri-
mar'y function of NSA 'is to pro-
vide worthwhile service programs
on the local, regional, national and
iernational levies.".
The resolution said, however,
that NSA's service function need
not detract from its vital but over-
emphasized task of expressing
student opinion.
"It is our intention to re-evalu-
ate periedlically our participation
in NSA," the resolution coneluded.
Discrimination Exchange
The presidents also approved a
plan to exchange Information on
discrimination policies, student
services, the student's role in pol-
icy making, recognition of student
organizations, student judiciaries,
policies on women's hours and
NSA services.
Student body presidents attend-
ing the conference were Michael

Two Sessions '
They met along with other dele-
gates in the morning to discuss
several topics of student concern.
In the afternoon, they held a
closed session during which the
resolutions were passed, while the
rest of the delegates continued
discussions in another room.
In the morning session, there
was a consensus that, in most
cases, regulation of speakers and
speeches is detrimental to an aca-
demic community and ought to
be eliminated.
Two delegates pointed out that
their schools, Minnesota and SUI,
have no policy limiting those who'
tnay speak at the institution.
Speaker Bans
At OSU, Gross said, a civil lib-
erties union speaker was sched-
uled, but the president postponed
the speech {Indefinitely. Student
government is protesting this ac-
tion, and the faculty has set a
meeting with a vice-president to
discuss the issue.
Turning to another area, all of
the delegates supported in theory
a plan whereby a student paying
in-state fees at one Big Ten insti-
tution would be able to spend his
junior year at another school in
the Big Ten without having to pay
a higher tuition. Exchange of stu-
dents would be reciprocal.
This would reduce the economic
barrier facing students who wish
to attend another school for a
year to take specialized courses in
in theirs field of concentration
or wish to take classes from cer-
tamn professors.
GOV. JOHN B. SWAINSON
...attacks Republicans
DETROIT (P)-Vowing to expose
what he termed "the disgraceful
Republican record of obstruction-
ism and reaction,'' Gov. John B.
Swainson declared formally last
night his intention to seek re-
election this year. -
Swainson's decision, which had
been anticipated, was announce d
in a fiery Jefferson-Jackson Day
speech in which he told a gather-
ing of Michigan Democrats:
"The record proves that the
GOP (in Michigan) has been and is
today a cabal of unreconstructed
reactionaries, a band of economic
freebooters, wvhich has throttled
progress, cut into the vitals of
democracy in Michigan and chok-
ed every constructive effort to
solve the problems facing us."
Swainson said .he did not know
what the product of the state's
current constitutional convention
will be, but added:
"I would like to go on record
at this time to assert that if the
convention does not produce a just
and fair reapportionment of our
state legislative districts, I will
do all in my power to see to ft
that the document is rejected by
the people of Michigan.
"I would do this reluctantly,
but I would do it in the knowledge
that unless we return government
to the voters, we will have avoided
the crucial challenge facing us.
Anticipate Vote
OnFinal Draft
Of Constitution
LANSING -Co Co dele-
gates are expected to take their
final vote on the proposed com-
pleted document Friday and mi-
nority Democrats may object to
its approval. .
The convention will begins the
third reading of the proposed doc-
ument's 12 articies tomorrow and
plan to spend three days on it.
The draft will be sent Thursday
to a Styles and Drafting Commit-
tee for rewriting third reading
changes into the document.
Democrats failing to get provi-
sion for separate approval of sec-
tions by voters accepted by the
convention may be forced to vote
against the entire document Fri-
day.
The convention hopes to adjourn
until Aug. 1 when they will re-
convene for a formal session.
"Delegates have done a ter-
rific job," Con-con president Ste-
phen Nisbet commented. "They
have devoted considerable time
and effort and have come up with
a good constitution."

submarines carries 16 missiles
armed with nuclear warheads.

NATO defense assignments. The
United States promised to consult
its allies before changing the as-
sibnments.

Ocean commanid, under U. S. Adm.
R. L. Dennison.Ahriy
Since the submarines will re-
main under United States coin-
mand, their assignment to NATO
duties will not run afoul of the
United States law which vests
solely in the president authority
for handling and use of nuclear
weapons.
The United States pledged to put
its entire Atlantic fleet of Polaris
submarines at the disposal ofl
NATO as they are commissioned.
The United States will build 41
Polaris submarines, most of them
for duty in the Atlantic.
The Polaris offer bolstered
American appeals for the Western
allies to beef up their conven-
tional ground forces, which the
United States considers an essen-
tial part of any deterrent force.
The Polaris missile is a com-
plete weapons system designed to
deliver a nuclear warhead to a
target several thousand miles away
from a submerged submarine.
The possible introduction of this
weapons system to the NATO
bases caused much concern and
demonstrations among B r i t i s h
pacifists.

Alexander Grant Ruthven, 1929-1951

"A LI HAD to do was keep

shape and hand it over to Presi-

But things weren't as simple
as that sounds for former Pres-
ident Alexander Grant Ruth-

farm just outside Ann Arbor,
President Ruthven took office
during 1929 in the midst of a
faculty feud over former Pre~si-
dent Clarence Cook Little's pro-
posed University college. That
was to be the least of his
worries.

handled the faculty dispute
simply and diplomatically; he
turned it back to the faculty
for further consideration of
the university college's advis-
ability and administration.
