Union President Paul Carder, '62, who introduced the motion, cited the danger of the vote hinging on partisan, political considera- tions rather than the value of NSA.

Terrorists Fire Fields In Dominican SANTO DOMINGO MP)-Terror- Ists put the torch to cane fields rand sugar mills last night after the Dominican government de- clared a state of national emer- gency. It was the most serious fiareup of unrest since the events of last month when a military coup fiz- zled after 48 hours and a counter- coup by Air Force officers put the civilian government back in con- trol. The government followed up its emergency decree, with an order confiscating property belonging to several members of the ousted Trujillo dictatorship. Informants reported the arrest of five young leftists charged with smuggling arms into this Carib- bean Island nation. President Ra- fael Bonnelly declared the govern- ment in danger from a conspiracy from both the right and left. Bonnelly claimed vandals and terrorists were following a plan aimed at "taking the country down the road to chaos or totalitarian dictatorship." He called the state of emer- gency "an extreme recourse to de- fend our incipient democracy." 'U, of Illinois Acts To End Landlord Bias CHICAGO (I)-A ban on racial and religious discrimination in commercial housing on the Chai- paign-Urbana campus was adopted yesterday by Trustees of the Uni- versity of Illinois. The effective day is Sept. 1, 1965, but the resolution approved unanimously by the board said the university hopes full compliance will be achieved on a voluntary basis well before then. Only unmarried undergraduates on the Champaign-Urbana campus are affected. Excepted from the ban are private homes of landlords in which no more than three r ooms are rented. The resolution was presented by the university president, David D. Henry. It originated with the Champaign-Urbana campus Sen- ate Committee on Student Affairs, consisting of both faculty men- bers and students. The Senate Committee on Stu- dent Affairs also proposed that fraternities and sororities be called upon to affirm that selection of .their members is based on criteria other than race. Rusk To Attend isarmament Conf erence WASHINGTON (A) -Secretary of State Dean Rusk plans to attend next month's opening sessions of the 18-nation disarmament talks which Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev wants to elevate to a summit meeting. The state department announced Rusk's plans yesterday. Press Offi- cer Lincoln White said the Secre- tary plans to go to Geneva since the Western powers have proposed that the conference be opened at the Foreign Ministers' level. Khrushchev countered this sug- gestion from President John F. Kennedy and British Prime Min- ister Harold Macmillan with his l I~nen #:a the had- o.f Lynvpn to the National Student Associa- tion and Student Government Council," he declared.. Introduces Motion In policy legislation, also intro- duced by Carder, the Council at- tacked the drift of NSA from its original purposes and set a pro- cedure for SGC to use in remedy- ing the situation. The motion emphasizes Student Government Council's "deep con- cern" over NSA's diversion from its original purpose of being a confederation of student govern- ments and its becoming a "show case for extremist political groups of both the left and right." "Student Government Council should try to institute reforms in NSA," Carder explained. The Council limited University NSA delegates and alternates to SGC members and the chairmen of standing committees. Additions Fail Attempts by Administrative Vice-President Robert Ross, '63, and Brian Glick, '62, to add the chairmen of the Human Rela- tions Board and the Committee on Membership Selection in Stu- dent Organizations to the delegate list failed. "It is dogmatic to insist that SGC should not send as many people as possible. It is good for the chairmen to get the experience offered at the congress," Ross said. The Council deleted by a vote of 8-5 a section limiting to 16 the number of delegates it can send to the national congress. Cites Trust "The Council can be trusted to send no more delegates than it can afford, League President Bea Nemlaha, '62, indicated. The legislation also requested that NSA consult with Student Government Council whenever, it appoints a University student as a national officer or as a staff member. It deleted a stronger rule in the original Carder motion that would require the consent of SGC before such an appointment. The legislation would commit the Council to reconsider Univer- sity participation in NSA before the November, 1962, SGC elections. "I'm still not sure whether the University should remain in NSA," Carder explained. Khrushchev Asks Joint Space Action Proposal Receives Cautious Welcome By The Associated Press WASHINGTON-President John F. Kennedy yesterday called Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev's proposal for pooling space re- sources a "most encouraging" sign for international cooperation. The President said the United States would be glad to discuss the proposal with theSoviets in the United Nations or any other place. However, he acknowledged that the United States has uncovered no evidence in the last year that Russia is genuinely willing to co- operate in such a venture. Lacks Details Khrushchev's plan, coming in the wake of Astronaut Lt. Col. John H. Glenn Jr.'s flight around the world, did not go into detail. Both countries have previously ad- vanced similar suggestions for in- ternational space cooperation, but the plans have been scuttled in the cold war atmosphere. Kennedy said it is premature, atj this point, to consider space co- operation in the form of specific projects, such as a joint mission to the moon. Medical Exchange Kennedy said the United States has received, informally, from Russia, some medical information on the Soviets' manned orbits of last year, but no technical data. Kennedy said he would begin a reply to the Soviets today. Khrushchev's proposal, however, got a chillier reception from America's allies. Direct Cooperation Their worry came from the Ris- sian leader's new demonstration of interest in direct discussion and cooperation with the United States. Some diplomats said they feel the possibility of such a de- velopment is likely to grow strong- er before long. "We know the Russians more than anything else would like to do business, not so much with the West, but the Americans on the affairs of the world," one Western official said. The British Foreign Office re- fused to comment on the Soviet proposal on the ground that Great Britain is not directly concerned.'

Con-Con Passes College Articles Requires Public Regents Meetings, Recognizes Community Colleges By CAROLINE DOW and BUEL TRAPNELL The Constitutional Convention passed the higher educa- tion proposal yesterday with University status remaining al- most unscathed from the 1908 version. Two changes in the first section will affect the Univer- sity. The first requires that governing board meetings be open to the public, the second that the institutions must pro- vide an annual financial accounting to the Legislature. The higher education proposal, as passed by the conven- tion, grants constitutional status to all ten state colleges and TAKES MODERATE STAND: Ka/ er Views Parochial Aid By PATRICIA O'CONNOR "The problem of federal aid to parochial schools should not be foreclosed at the beginning by invoking some absolutist princi- ple," Prof. Paul G. Kauper of the law school said yesterday. Prof. Kauper views the problem as one of degree. Since parochial schools conform to secular require- ments imposed by state govern- ments and are recognized by law, a substantial case can be made for limited aid. "Although the federal govern- ment has no general vested au- thority over schools or education, some sources of power exist. The power of Congress to spend money for the general welfare provides a broad and indefinite area in which Congress may act. Historical Record "History attests the federal gov- ernment's interest in education and the use of public funds to further it. From the Morril Act of 1862 to the National Defense Act of 1954 Congress has fostered the teaching of science, mathematics, and foreign languages," he said. The problem exists, according to Prof. Kauper, not in whether Con- gress may spend by whether it is precluded from aiding certain types of education. In former decisions, parochial schools have benefited from free distribution of secular tet books and from the federalrlunch pro- gram. Under the Defense Act, loans for equipment needed for science and mathematics courses have been granted to these schools. Separatism Doctrine Opposition to federal aid for parochial schools bases itself on the principle of separation of church and state derived from the First Amendment. "The broad language evidenced here offers no precise 'definition," Prof. Kauper said. Prof. Kauper sees President John F. Kennedy as relying on this language to support his assertation that any over the board help to parochial schools would be uncon- stitutional. "In approving aid to private colleges and chprch schools, Ken- nedy seems to set higher education apart. Aid for higher education could not be supported by using the same principle being applied to aid for parochial elementary and secondary schools. "Whatever constitutional as- pects may exist, the policy taken by congress promises to be of the real importance. More pragmatic reasoning is needed rathier than strict adherence to a policy," Prof. Kauper said. Work-Study Program Set At Dearborn The Dearborn Center yesterday announced the initiation of a pilot program which may result in the state's firstrsenior college co-op- erative (work - study) education program for liberal arts students. In making the announcement, Vice-President for the Dearborn Center William E. Stirton said, "under the new program, arrange- ments will be made for a limited number of students to secure in- ternships in their field. "They will attend classes at Dearborn and work on paid intern- ship assignments with co-operative private companies or other agen- cies for alternate four - month periods throughout the year." universities and requires leg- islative responsibility for com- munity colleges for the first time in Michigan history. Drafting Committee The .proposal, number 98, was referred to the style and drafting committee before being placed in the tentative constitution. Two other sections of the constitution which will directly affect higher education are yet to be passed. The higher education proposal provides for eight-member gov- erning boards with eight year terms for all ten institutions. The University, Wayne State Univer- sity and Michigan State Univer- sity boards will remain elective while the governor will appoint the members of the other seven boards. The three large universities will also be presided over by their presidents. For the other seven in- stitutions, the governing board must either elect one of their own number or choose the presi- dent to preside over the meetings. Under State Board At present, Eastern, Western, Northern and Central Michigan Universities have no governing boards, but are under the con- trol of the State Board of Edu- cation. Ferris Institute and Mich- igan College of Science and Tech- nology have governing boards pre- sided over by one of their board members. Appointment confirmation pro- cedure, if any, will be decided when the committee on the exec- utive branch, makes its report to the convention. This procedure was postponed to provide unity within the constitution for all ap- pointment procedure. State coordination of higher ed- ucation, a major issue preceding the convention, was not mention- ed in the proposal. An earlier sec- tion of the constitution, concern- ing the State Board of Education, provides the only mention of state-wide coordination. Serve As Planner It states that the State Board of Education shall serve as the general planning and coordinat- ing body for all public education in the state and shall advise the Legislature on, the amount of money to appropriate to educa- tion. However, Regent Eugene B. Power indicated the State Board of Education will have no right to limit the constitutional right of the governing Boards to act independently and will probably accept, the recommendations of the voluntary coordinating coun- cil, the State Coordinating Coun- cil for Public Higher Education, on budget and policy matters for higher education. Welcome Council "The State Board of Education ,will pi'obably be very busy," Pow- er said, indicating that recom- mendations from the voluntary coordinating council would be wel- come. Both the Coordinating Council and the new powers of the Education Board are to "as- sure the people that decisions will not be made unilaterally," Power said. 'Regent To Sell 'U'Microfilm . Bursley Asks Legislation For New 'U' Buildings By MICHAEL HARRAH Rep. Gilbert Bursley (R-Ann Arbor) has introduced legislation to make appropriations to the Regents for the planning of new construc- tion projects. The bill calls for a total of $957,000, with $400,000 going into the planning for the Medical Science Building, Unit 2, $300,000 for a new dentistry building, and $257,000 for a pediatrics hospital. Planning money, in each case, representt PROF. CYRIL O. HOULE ...publishing revolutions Houle Sees Paperback Revolutions By GAIL EVANS The paperback book industry has gone through two revolutions. in less than a quarter century, Prof. Cyril 0. Houle of the school of education at the University of Chicago said last night. Since the revolutionary birth of the modern paperback in 1939 as a mass market seller, a second revolution has taken place-the rise of the quality paperback. "Al- though the modern paperback movement is less than 25 years old, there are now almost 15,000 titles in print," he indicated. Spend More Money The amount of money spent on books has increased greatly since the '50's, assisted by the steady decline in the price of books to an average of 67.5 cents per volume." In fact, of consumer expenditures in thet leisure-time category, the only one whose growth has greatly exceeded that of books and maps is radio and television repair," Prof. Houle as- serted. Before the paperback, books were sold entirely by book stores, usually located in university com- munities, large cities, and "avant- garde districts such as Green- wich Village." Now, even the local drug store is a source of literary information, he added. Sales in drug store locations have drawbacks. The book is sold like another commodity on the shelf, like a tube of toothpaste. Vigilante citizen group censorship is another problem facing the local seller of paperbacks, Prof. Houle maintained. Under Attack Until 1953 "paperbacks were un- der the same kind of widespread attack as has continuously been leveled against television," he said. Critics feared that only books meeting the test of mass market sales would be published. The advent of the quality paper- back, a higher priced edition, solv- ed this problem, according to Prof. Hounle.p about four per cent of the total expected cost. Expand Numbers Bursley pointed out that the medical building would allow the expansion of the number of gradu- ates per year from 160 to 200. Dental graduates could also be hiked from 97 to 150. He said the pediatrics hospital was included because "there is considerable demand for it around the state." The construction of the medical unit will allow the removal of all medical departments from Central Campus. Presently the depart- ments of bacteriology, anatomy and physiology are still located in East Medical Bldg. The present dentistry building is 54 years old and quite crowded, according to Dean Paul H. Jese- rick of the dentistry school. It is the oldest dental school building anywhere in the nation.

NEIL BERKSON Despite the inclement weather, the men's mass rush meeting in the Michigan Union Ballroom was well attended last night, as prospective rushees came to hear "what the Michigan fraternity system has to offer," before the start of rush this Sunday. Interfraternity Council President Robert Peterson, '62, provided one answer. After enumerating the standard concepts of fraternity, he discussed two areas "which make the fraternity a unique form of living." The fraternity gives you an opportunity to develop your- selves and a chance to choose the men you will live with for four years. Take a good look at the system which has meant so much to so many, he asked. Assistant Dean of Men for Fraternities Lou Rice cautioned rushees that, "If your image of Michigan fraternities . . . reverts back to the 'Roaring Twenties' and super secret societies . . . whose main purpose appears to be fun and games-then I think you had best redefine your ideas and attitudes . . . or you had best think in terms of associating with segments in or around this campus other than the fraternity system."
