Students picketed the White House, met with Soviet embassy officials, visited President John F. Kennedy's advisers, marched to the Tomb of the unknown Soldier and concluded their project with a rally on the grounds of the Washington Monument.'' Five students, met With Jerome Weisner, an adviser to the Presi- dent for scientific affairs. Weisner- conveyed the President's support for the students' action and dis- cussed the implementation of the program of initiatives the students presented. The atmosphere of the meeting was one of optimism and the stu- dents were left with the impression the program was seriously being considered by the President, they reported. Visit Soviets i Simultaneously other students visited the Soviet embassy, meet- ing top officials. Oleg M. Soko- lov, press attache of the embassy, said students had asked about similar groups in the Soviet Un- ion and were told to contact the Soviet Committee of Youth Orga- nizations, the chief body of youth activity in the USSR. Peter Goldmark, of Harvard University, said the group would follow theySoviet suggestion by at- tempting to send two delegates to the USSR to explain their position to Russian students and officials. Students picketed the White House continuously from Friday morning until yesterday after- noon. By noon, students had ar- rived to form the largest White House picket in 20 years. Thou- sands of students overflowed into adjacent Lafayette Square. March to Tomb From the White House the stu- dents marched three abreast along the two mile' route to Arlington National Cemetery. A delegation of seven students laid a wreath at the foot of the Tomb of the Un- known Soldier. The students, including 80 from the University, then walked back across the Potomac River to the Washington Monument to hear addresses by Norman Thomas, Emil Mazey, secretary-treasurer of the United Automobile Workers, William Higenbotham, a promi- nent nuclear physicist, and Philip Barton and Jan Triggs, two stu- dents associated with the project. "I have been more thrilled than I can tell you over the picketing," 76-year old Thomas told the marchers. "Time, talent, and mon- ey needed for the betterment of mankind are being spent instead on the arms race," he noted. . . ~ 'Warns Studentsr He cited the necessity of a com- mon turn toward peace, telling the assembled students, "You will not live to be my age unless you stop the arms race." Mazey called the Russian bomb tests a crime against humanity, and asked, "Why must we make the same stupid mistake?" "Americans," Mazey said, "are more apathetic toward peace than Europeans because its cities es - caped destruction in the two world wars." Speaking against the resumption of American nuclear testing, he said, "no nation has the right to use the air which everybody breaths as a sewer for its radio- active garbage." During yesterday's picketing, 100 members of the Washington chapter of the Young Americans for Freedom counter picketed across the street from the White House. "We don't believe the peace marchers represent the majority of the United States students," YAF coordinator Fulton Lewis, III said. Faubus Raps Ellis Speech FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. ()-Gov. Orval E. Faubus said yesterday that any University of Arkansas faculty member responsible for Dr. Albert Ellis' talk on sex at the university Tuesday should apologize or be fired. -Daily-Ed Langs COLD WAR PICKETERS-Students picket outside the White House Friday in support of arms control and disarmament. Clark'Key-1* no tes Seminar On Arms at Swarthmore By JOHN ROBERTS Editor special To TJ'e Daily SWARTHMORE-Almost 300 students from 80 schools are attend- ing the first Intercollegiate Conference on Disarmament and Arms Control here this weekend.1 Designed to educate the student peace movement, the conference brings together more than 20 authorities on disarmament for a three- day round of speeches, seminars and discussion groups. In his keynote speech Friday night, Sen. Joseph Clark (D-Pa) said the conference was dealing with "'the most urgent problem confronting -four nation and the world today: Radock's Goal: Better'U' Image By MICHAEL HARRAH Director of University Relations Michael Radock has a unique assignment: he must sell the people of Michigan on the problems of the University. As public funds grow more scarce, he must convince the people that higher education in general and the University in particular need their ever-increasing support. His program for this, task is "Operation Michigan," a statewide campaign to gain greater public understanding and support for higher education. Rep. Charles Boyer (R-Manistee) has said that he is "ap- palled at the public image Michigan people have of higher education. The public is not demanding more money for higher education, nor does it seem worried in the least about education's{ future." Launches Operation This is one reason why Radock has launched his "Operation Michigan" on a statewide basis. Legislators have complained about a lack of information on the needs of higher education; "Operation Michigan" will supply it. Michigan editors have reported that people are confused and disturbed by "educational waste and inefficiency," research op- erations, the size of the University, admissions policy, duplications of services, "frill courses," lack of cooperation between institu- tions, "hysteria in higher education," and full utilization of" facilities. But most important, since the University is dependent uponP public support for both operational funds and capital expendi- tures, "Operation Michigan" will have to present the people with an "Image of the University"-the real image. 'No Secret Device' Radock says that "there is no secret device by which the University can have good public relations, but the best selling point is the product which is produced"-in- other words, the students which the University graduates and the accomplish- ments it achieves are the best proof of its excellence.. Radock's program includes six principal objectives: To show how the work at the University directly benefits individuals, communities, commerce, the state and the nation. To demonstrate that the University is spending tax funds wisely and effectively. To answer forthrightly criticism of the University and higher. education. Alert Public To alert the public to the severe challeges which face higher education. To show that quality education is an expensive service which is not obtained at "bargain basement" prices. To warn the state of the risk it runs in allowing an institu- tion as the University to lose its effectiveness. This willnot be an easy program to sell, and Radock has4 found in his previous experience with Ford Motor Company thatf the "soft sell" is received better by the public than the "hardf sell." Consequently, the University is instituting a program of Nt. friendly persuasion, rather than an out -and -out appeal. By pointing out the excellence of> University activities, it is hoped{ that the people themselves will see the need for continued financial support. Propose Activities K Several activities have been proposed:- The "Saturday Symposium . is a meeting of alumni, friends and opinion leaders in key com- munities at which the Univer- sity's story will be presented at a program opening with a coffee session and concluding with a luncheon. Already University officials have held such a meeting in the. twin cities, Benton Harbor-St.' Joseph, where a slide program MICHAEL RADOCK pointing out the various facts . . . stressessoft selland needs of the University was presented. The program was well-received, Radock says. He quoted one member of the au- dience as having said "Take your story to every nook and crannyi where anyone who will take the time to listen will gather with you. You are to be congratulated on this presentation. Both th time and the timing were excellent." Similar meetings are planned for Port Huron, Kalamazoo, and Bay City during February and March. Area Dinners Another gathering is the Area Dinner Meeting, which is similar to the Saturday Symposium, only held on a week night.} Such a meeting was held in Grand Rapids early in December..4 Third is a "Saturation-type Program," requiring the simul- taneous scheduling of University speakers at a series of lunch-$ eons, dinners and meetings in one city on the same day. Groups may include representatives of the various professions or special interest groups. Alumni Club briefings are also projected through the facili-E ties and efforts of the Alumni Association. Such meetings would be held in the homes of University alumni in many cities throughout the state with prominent alumni and friends of theg University joining legislators and University representatives- See RADOCK, Page 8 Vietna mese Cancel, MSU Aid Program By PHILIP SUTIN The government of Viet Nam has refused to extend a contract with Michigan State University to maintain a civil service training center in the South Asian country. Published reports that the MSU center had been ousted are er- roneous, MSU President John H'annah said last night. "The contract is expiring in June and was not renewed. The gov- ernment has a perfect right not to renew it," Hannah declared. According to Hannah, and Alfred I. Seelye, dean of the MSU's College of Business and Public Service, now in Saigon, one reason for Offer Advice On. Defense By The Associated Press Various state' and federal gov- ernment officials yesterday offered statements concerning nuclear disarmament, fallout shelters and advice. about the United States civil defense program. Military leaders in Washington hinted at some new varieties of nuclear weapons which can pro- duce desired effects outside those caused by explosions, defining them as: "Nuclear weapons designed to achieve variation in the intensity of specific effects other than nor- mal blast effect." To Examine CD At the same time it was an- nounced that the Administration's expanded civil defense program will come under critical scrutiny next week by a Congressional group that has urged more ambi- tious efforts to save the popula- tion in an all-out nuclear war. President John F. Kennedy yes- terday assigned various federal departments the responsibility for developing plans to cope with an attack upon the United States. Budget Director David E. Bell advised the President that at the present time an adequate plan does not exist Sailors Test Shelters One hundred sailors went under- ground yesterday to endure - two weeks of boredom and assorted discomforts so the Navy can learn something about the effects of prolonged stays in fallout shelters. In Atlantic City, Benjamin C. Willis, superintendent of Chicago schools, advised that the public schools should not be pressured Into a crash program of building fallout shelters. Finally, in Washington, a report by nine social scientists warned that a "shelter-centered" civil de- fense program poses serious diffi- culties for American foreign policy and democracy. "Regardless of the carefully qualified remarks of the President in originally calling for civil de- fense, the call was seen in both the United States and in the Soviet Union as a signal- that war was near and that negotiations were failing. Vioenep JRta the avoidance of nuclear war and achievement of general disarma- ment under enforced world law." Secondary Issues He contended that the nuclear test ban, the civil defense issue, though important, were definitely secondary to the larger task, and he advised that unilateral disarm- ament is "completely unacceptable politically here as well as in the Communist countries." The McCloy-Zorin agreement on a common objective of general and complete disarmament and of strict controls provides a real basis for progress, Sen. Clark said, but he warned progress was hampered by a "political lag" in the country as well as in Congress. Sen. Clark said that in the U.S. and the USSR a "contest is being waged for the minds of men in power". between the forces for disarmament and those who see no end to the arms race. He claims that the latter has "many strong allies in Congress." Role of Students Harold Taylor, of the Peace Re-' search Institute, speaking on "Peace, War and the American Student," yesterday said "We must bring to bear on the disarmament and peace question the full weight of the American university com- munity." He added that he saw no difference between the obligations of students and faculty members in this regard. Stating that universities must be creative centers as well as pre- servers of the heritage, Taylor said the conference was an example of rejection by students of "the entire system of bureaucratic apparatus of universities." Among the experts who led dis- cussion seminars yesterday was Prof. Kenneth Boulding of the eco- nomics department. About 10 stu- dents from the University are at- tending the conference, which was conceived by three Swarthmore College juniors, including David Wegman of Ann Arbor. the government's action was dis- satisfaction with critical articles written by MSU professors who returned from working for the project. Supports Position "It's not that I necessarily agree with everything in those articles, I don't, but our position is that we support the right of our pro- fessors to write what they be- lieve," Seelye said. Prof. Milton C. Taylor, of the university's economics depart- ment, who wrote articles in the New Republic and Pacific Review critical of the regime, was not concerned with the fate of the project. Having served 20 months in Viet Nam, he is no longer con- cerned with it. "i wrote these articles because I felt the truth has not been told about Viet Nam. The country is supposed to be a viable bastion of democracy, but its is neither viable nor democratic," he explained. Set Up Agen~cies Under the seven-year program, MSU officials set up South Viet Nam's police force, a system of universal identification cards, and created the National Institute of Administration which trains gov- ernmental officials. When in peak operation, 54 MSU officials work- ed in the program. Hannah indicated the program was nearly completed and had the contract been renewed only three or four MSU personnel would have gone to Viet Nam. MSU Council Accepts NSA Membership, Michigan State University has joined the National Student Asso- ciation. By a 24-15 vote, MSU's Student Congress joined the 400-member organization Wednesday night. The council decision followed three hours of debate. There has been constantly awakening interest in NSA on MSU's campus in East Lansing this fall, NSA Regional Vice- Chairman Greg Nigorsian said yes- terday. "A committee report on NSA was highly favorable on affili- ation, on the basis of what the association has done and can do.' At its Wednesday meeting, MSU's council heard several off- campus visitors present their views on NSA. Allan Howell, a Wayne State University student who is editor of "Conservative Thunder,' debated against joining the asso- ciation. * The executive committee of the Michigan Region of NSA, meeting in Kalamazoo yesterday, speculat- ed that more state colleges may join the organization. Con-Con To Formulat Plan for Administerin Set Message By The Associated Press Three' proposals by President John F. Kennedy will come before Congress this week: the /creation of a department of urban affairs; a $2 billion public works program and a federal payroll plan. As proposed in the President's. economic message of Jan. 22, the public works plan, to be used in case of recession, would authorize use of the following sums once the President had determined economic developments required action: -up to.$750 million in speeding" up direct federal outlays previously authorized by Congress; -up to $750 million for grants- in-aid to state and local govern- ments; Grant Loans -up to $250 million in loan to states and localities which other- wise could not meet their share of project costs; -up to $250 million more to be distributed among the preceding three categories as the President saw fit. The federal payroll program, in- cluding raises for government workers with superior skills, pre- sumably will follow recommenda- tions of a Presidential panel which made broad 1 recommendations, Wednesday. These proposals are aimed generally at making pay for skilled government workers equiv- alent to that received for the same work in non-government jobs. Face Delay The administration apparently is facing at least a week's delay in the Senate test on its con- troversial proposal for creation of the urban affairs department. This also may postpone any vote in the House, where adminis- tration leaders say privately They lack the strength to prevent a Republican-Southern Democratic coalition from killing Kennedy's reorganization plan to set up the new department. Kennedy is represented as press- ing for a roll call vote in uoth houses to put opponents-particu- larly big-city Republicans-on a political spot in the fall campaign. ! II' l ... TdI7 .+ JOHN F.

The State Board of Educati would be charged with the sup vision of public education bel the college level and for coordir tion at all levels. This latter fnu tion would be one of a "mast overseeing body, without dir control of the individual instii tions.

Delegates. have expressed c cern both that the new board d not go far enough in coordinati higher education and that it gi too far.
