PRESSURE AND THE QUAD VOTE See Page 4 C jl 4r Seventy-One Years of Editorial Freedom 4Iatii SNOW FLURRIES High--35 Low-27 Windy tonight, Colder timorrow VOL. LXII, No. 53 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1961 SEVEN CENTS EIGHT PAGES Moch Views Motion On Women in Quads By DAVID MARCUS Inter-Quadrangle Council last night moved to include freshmen women in its recommendation to allow women students in men's quadrangle rooms. IQC President Thomas Moch, '62E, predicted a "not too bright" prospect for any revision of rules regarding women guests. Lying behind the inclusion of freshmen women, Moch cited the "unenforceable nature" of a ruling which would exclude them, since 55 per cent of the quadrangle residents are freshmen. Moch noted that the flurry of letters to the editor appearing in many Michigan newspapers and pressure from alumni might serve as reasons for the probable rejection of any proposal allowing women students in men's residence hall rooms. Original Proposal The original proposal, passed by IQC at its Nov. 2 meeting, calls for allowing non-freshmen women visitors in the quadrangle rooms from noon until one-half hour. before women's closing.I It provides that each house may decide by a two-thirds vote what visiting privileges it wishes to extend within the general limitations of: the IQC motion. "The groups most violently opposed have spoken loudest while th people in favor have not been saying anything," Moch commented. Assistant Dean of Men in charge of Residence Halls John Hale refused to give his personal opinion of the motion or an estimate of its chances of passing the Board of Governors. Three Weeks Ago Three weeks ago, when the motion was originally proposed, Hale had said that he thought it was "basically good." The Board of Governors will consider the recommendation, as amended last night, at its meeting Monday.] IQC also voted to delete the words "open-open" from the motion in order to clarify that "it is not the intent of the resolution that women should be permitted in the men's rooms only on an open door basis. Consideration of the problems of noise and lack of personal privacy have led to the belief that an open door policy is unworkablet and undesirable" he said. Letters Writtenc Letters to the editor in the Ann Arbor News have attacked theE proposal as being conductive to the lowering of moral standards.r One writer noted that women in men's rooms would make students more amenable to Communism by breaking down their "moral fiber." Thus far, Huber, Kelsey, Green, Scott, Strauss, Wenley, Adams,9 Frederick, Gomberg, Allen-Rumsey, Taylor and Hinsdale Houses havec held referendums which approved the proposal.a "The Board of Governors could never consider this proposal on itst merits after all this public pressure," Moch noted.C "With so much pressure it would be difficult for them to pass itf without hurting the name of the University."1 Industrial Unions Demand Jurisdictional Dispute Pang WASHINGTON (M)-Industrial unions demanded yesterday thata the AFL-CIO establish a foolproof system backed by the courts for settling wars between rival labor organizations. a The industrial unions acted by overwhelming convention vote I after Walter Reuther, president of the Auto Workers Union andt head of the AFL-CIO's industrial union department, said inter-union battling is "eating the guts" out of organized labor's ability to carry on trade union aims.

Panhellenic Studies Senior Apartments By MALINDA BERRY The special Panhelenic Study Committee made its report to the President's Council on the effects of the possibility of affiliated senior women being allowed to live in apartments, yesterday. The Committee enumerated the supposed personal advantages for a senior woman when living in an apartment. The areas dis- cussed included increased economy, independence, better study opportunities, more private living arrangements, more flexible social arrangements, and increased responsibility. The committee thought these alleged advantages did not offer all the possibilities they purport when analyzed more deeply.

Grace Pena, '62, of the Philip- pines, said that the primary func- tion of her country is to provide a model of democracy for the emerging nations of the area. A homogenous culture and United States economic aid have been factors in Philippine prosperity, she said, thus enabling the coun- try to give a "meaningful sense of direction." Colonial Struggle A student from Indonesia, Soe Tandyo, Grad, declared that the framework of his country is bas- ed upon the struggle against co- lonialism anywhere, just as the United States traditional Ameri- can attitude is based on distrust' of authority. Thus Indonesia has turned from Western liberal de- mocracy to a "guided democra- cy" of economic socialism. Luong Ky, Grad, said the prin- cipal crises in his home country, Viet Nam, are the threat of Com- munist terrorist tactics and the infringement by President Ngo Diem of political liberties as a result of this threat. Praseuth Hou, Grad, said the neutrality of Cambodia is based on a military nature only. After the many wars in his country, he explained, Cambodia must take care not to - antagonize either of the great powers into a 'pretext7 for intervention. Overseas Chinese1 Prof. Eliezer B. Ayal of the eco- nomics department, who moder- ated the panel, said that one of the most publicized problems of southeastern Asia, the importance of the overseas Chinese population in the non-Communist countries, has at times been exaggerated. Most of these Chinese are busi- nessmen, he said, and do not wisht to see. the Communists overrun the area. Union Board1 Turns Down Open Meetings The Union Board of Directors last night adopted a majority re-I port by the Open Meeting Com- mittee which provided for the board meetings to remain closed. The report, which notes the "great importance of conveying information . . . to the public," does not feel that open meetings would be successful in this task. The presence of a reporter, pro- vision for invitation of concerned1 persons, and channels for com- plaints combine to constitute "su-1 ficient" communications.- The minority report, filled by board member Michael Olinick, 63, not only recommended the adoption of open meetings, but also urged the creation of ex- officio members, greater report distribution, group invitations, and policy debates by candidates for election to the Union Board. While the report was rejected, the sen- ior officers pledged further con- sideration of its recommendations. The Union Board also approved seven recommended house rules changes proposed by the House Committee. These changes were made to "update the regulations to deal with existing conditins." -Daily-Archie Sader. CHALLENGE-Students and faculty discuss fall-out shelters at a roundtable seminar last night sponsored by Challenge. Caene Semnnar Vews G hi Ethcs of Fallout Shelters' By DENISE WACKER It is necessary to look at the question of the reality of a fundamental moral and social obligation to protect the public and insure a social framework which would survive in the event of a nuclear war, Prof. Arnold Kaufman of the philosophy department said last night. Prof. Kaufman moderated a Challenge seminar on "The Ethics of Fallout Shelters." The seminar dealt with the problems which face the United States if the ^ nation and its citizens continue to build shelters. "If the United States develops a large-scale shelter program, the opposition will ask why we are engaged in this activity. The people believe that the probability of nu- clear war- is very high." Taking a stand opposing the building of fallout shelters, Judith Cook, '63, said that four major forces must be considered when the shelter-question arises. "Shelters generate a false sense of security by making people be- lieve this is a protection - but after a war, when they come out; of their holes, what will happen?" Miss Cook said. A program of building increases feelings of the inevitability of war. Such a philosophy could be used for propaganda purposes by the Communists in non-aligned nations, she continued. "They still have not solved the problem of sanitation or air in the shelters. After two or three weeks in a shelter, conditions could grow very bad," Miss Cook continued.; And, if there is an attack, how can people reconcile their Chris- tian ethics of selflessness when: someone who is not in a shelter, but is alive, asks to be let in. Claim State News Condones Bias EAST LANSING UP)-A Negro student at Michigan State Uni- versity charged yesterday that the university housing office and the student paper discriminated when he was turned down on a rented room. Tax Plan s Considered By PETER DiLORENZI "If all other groups were to forego the securing of earmarked funds, we think that the schools would also forego them; if not; then we shall still demand the earmarking," Albert Johnson, su- perintendent of the Willow Run Public Schools and president of the Washtenaw County School Ad- ministrators Association, said last night. Johnson, participating in a pan- el-discussion held by the WCSAA at the County Bldg., added that "the earmarkings are still not enough, however, and this places the burden .of securing funds on the local units, bringing the prob- lem of tax-rate limitations." Acquisition Difficult He revealed that the present 15, mill ceiling on property taxes makes it very difficult for the schools to acquire sufficient funds. "There has been some favor- able talk about increasing the ceiling to 20 mills with 12 mills going to local school units," he added, noting that there might be some difficulty in getting such a plan enacted, however. Become Scapegoats "Schools are hesitant to go to the public for extra millage be- cause when this is done, a micro- scope is turned on the schools and programs of years long past are reviewed and scrutinized. Says Urging Surrender Hurts Nation Asks Negotiations On 'Danger Spots' SEATTLE (a)--President John F. Kennedy yesterday cautioned extremists that encouraging war or surrender 'does the nation a disservice-that the United States must be willing to negotiate Cold War issues from a stature of strength., Kennedy also declared Ameri- cans must realize they cannot force their beliefs on the rest of the world. While this country "will never negotiate freedom, it must be pre- pared to find out whether its vi- tal interests may be preserved honorably in peace," Kennedy told 11,000 intent listeners at the University of Washington. With its vital interests-clearly marked in Germany and other danger spots, Kennedy said-"we have nothing to fear from nego- tiations at the appropriate time and nothing to gain by refusing them." - Kennedy deleted a passage of his prepared text in which he as- serted the United States is "de- termined to prevent certain na- tions from adopting neutrality and to prevent certain others from abandoning It. "We find some who call them- selves neutrals who are friends and sympathetic to us, and others who call themselves neutrals who are unremittingly hostile to us." Aides said later the President would stand by the speech as ac- tually delivered. They contended, neither the original nor substi- tuted lines signified a change in U.S. policy, that the administra- tion has always sought to keep allies from turning neutral, and neutrals from sliding into the Communist Bloc. Kennedy said diplomacy and defense are not substitutes for one another, but essential companions. Negotiations within carefully de- fined limits are likely to succeed. SGC Requests Optional Ways Of Evaluation Disapproving in form and pro- cedure the present non-academic evaluations used in women's res- dence halls, Student Government Council Wednesday night passed a' motion calling for an .optional. non-academic evaluation proced- ure.
