ADC Moves To Abandon
Non-Academic Evaluation

Assembly Dormitory Council
yesterday passed a 'motion sup-
porting the permanent discontinu-
ance of non-academic evaluations
in women's residence halls.
The motion followed two at-
tempts to pass legislation limiting,
but retaining, the present forms.
The first of these motions, vetoed
last week, asked that the 'evalua-
tions be allowed only if women in
the halls could read them before
they were filed with the Dean of
The second motion called for
the removal of paragraphs five
and six of .the evaluations, which
concern appearance and social and
emotional adjustment. It was ve-
toed on the grounds that without
these segments of the forms, the
evaluations would serve little pur-
pose.
The forms are filled out by resi-
dent directors and/or counselors
in both residence halls and sorority
houses. The main question wlh,ich
was raised at the ADC meeting
was whether or not a housemother
is capable of estimating the ma-
turity and social acceptance of
over 100 women.
A committee of five Assembly
representatives has been estab-
lished to investigate the theoreti-
cal duties of housemothers and
counselors. It will then attempt' to
decide if they fulfill their obliga-
tions and are qualified to evaluate
objectively specific and personal
questipns about residence hall and
sorority members.
.The committee will also seek to
learn if it would be possible for
the women in a particu-lar resi-
dence hall to evaluate their resi-
dent directors in much the same
way, as evaluations of teaching
fellows were made last year.

Syria To Adopt Neutral Policy
Problems of Faculty
Enrollment, Facilities
Face 'U' in Future
By ROBERT FARRELL
"Outlook -- somewhat
was University President Harlan
Hatcher's message on the state
of the University last night.
But the institution is still
"strong and viable," he told the
University Senate.
On the major problems 6f fi-
nancing which underlies many of
the University's problems, Presi-
dent Hatcher spoke of "strong
talk among the legislators to 'hold
the line' rather than 'see the
needs'." ,
However, state officials have a
"growing recognition that the ap-
propriations made last year were
inadequate and hurt the univer-
sities," he said. ,
'Out of the Trough'
The University is "beginning to
edout emphasizing tha "e must
not mark time again as we did
last year."'
Many problems are not unique
to the University, however much
they may be felt, he noted, point-
world, not only in Michigan high-
er education.
Increasing enrollments and the
need for more -graduate training
create problems of capacity In
And nowhere is ther an institu
tion that is properly fnanced,
nor one that has any prospect of
being properly financed.
Cites Other Problems
Problems of providing qualified
teachers and faculty, adequate
facilities and space, new adminis-.
trative methods to deal with in-
creased size, 'and research and
development programs for gov-
'ernments rounded out his list of
world-wide problems in whose
light those of the University must
be viewed.
But, taking a long-range view,
the University trend has been
"sensational,'" and P r e s i d e n t
Hatcher expressed his certainty
that "we will continue to make
more progress."
As to faculty losses, he said
that the University "has lost good
and great men-but we have also'
gained good and great men and
promising young men, and the
value of this exchange is not yet
apparent."

DAMASCUS - Revolutionary
Premier Mamoun Kuzbari declared
yesterday his government will lead
Syria on a path of nonalignment
between East and West and he
will step out of office within four
months.
L At a news conference Kuzbari
ruled 'out any possibility of some-'
sort of continuing fedleration with
Egypt in the United Arab R1epub-
lic and said Syria now regards
Egypt in the same light as any
other Arab country.
Syria also has applied for mem-
br si of th Arabe League, Zuz-
bitterly opposed ,by Cairo.
Official notification of the
emergence of the new i'epublic
also was .given foreign consuls
here, and Kuzbari said he is hope-
ful that an increasing number of
recognitions will be granted.

Nisbet emerged as the compro-

choice of the liberal-moderate
