Today's article provides a general summary and discussion of primarily non-student events.) By JUDITH OPPENHEIM, MICHAEL HARRAH and MICHAEL OLINICK An austerity budget kept the University from moving ahead this year, but actions were taken and plans were developed that Swillsignificantly affect the faculty and students for decades to come. The plans included a trimester system for year-round operation, a building program for a physics-astronomy building and new buildings for the music school and the architecture college on North Campus. The year also included preliminary hearings of the Consti- tutional Convention on higher education, cooperation with industry to create a growing business complex in the Ann Arbor area, and skirmishes with the Legislature over budgets. As the pattern of undergraduate academics changes, so will the University's relation with the student outside the classroom. Faculty and student protests led to the formation-of an Office of Student Affairs Study Committee The committee is completing its discussion, and will present a report urging structural and personnel changes in the OSA. It marks the first official attempts to construct a consistent philosophy underlying non-academic affairs. The Trimester .. . Early last June, the Regents formally endorsed a faculty com- inittee's recommendation that the University add at third "split" semester to its present calendar. The proposed schedule would. move the beginning of the fall '- semester back to the last week in August. This term would run about 15 weeks, ending before -- -'s"<.< Christmas vacation. The second. semester begins im- mediately after the two-week re- cess. The third split semester would begin in mid-May and run' through August It will consist of' a 16 week period divided into two£ eight week sessions. Some courses would be offered the first period, some during the second and others during both. This will depend on the individual PRESIDENT HATCHER departments., need of the 'U' No changes will be made during this academic year, but-the regis- tration and orientation periods next fall will be moved back to earlier dates. More and more students will be earning their baccalaureates degrees at the end of three calendar years, and some will win theirst after only two and a half.r Greater emphasis will be placed on independent study and other teaching experiments to make the shorter learning period a moree meaningful one. - University President Harlan Hatcher stressed that full yearv operation {did not mean that a particular student or professor wouldr be forced to be on campus every month.1 Regent Eugene Power explained that the proposed calendart revisions hinged on added moneys the University must receive fromt Lansing.S Although the various colleges and student organizations recog- nized that the full-year operation would have important ramifica- tions on their program, little discussion about them were forthcoming this fall. Most agencies adopted a "wait and see" attitude. Plan New Buildings . . Whether or not the full year calendar becomes a reality, new buildings will be needed for the campus as facilities become outdated, and overcrowded. Taking a long look at capital outlay needs this summer, the Regents approved a program calling for $106.1 million in state funds for new construction.n The five-year plan drawn up by Vice-President for Business and h Finance Wilbur K. Pierpont also asked for $10.6 million for remodel- ( ing and additions to present structures. At the top of the list was the Physics-Astronomy Bldg., which t underwent construction this fall. The Legislature has granted $4.3 t million for the building during the last two years. The Regents asked for the rest of the $7 million allocated the project next year. p Second in the appeal for money to construct 26 new projects h is the music school slated for North Campus. Other new construction T called for includes Unit II of the Fluids Engineering Bldg., Dental I Bldg., education school, Mathematics and Computing Center, archi- f tecture college and Engineering Laboratory. As the University's branches at Dearborn and Flint drew more 1 students, Michigan's Twin Cities-Benton Harbor and St. Joseph- considered asking the University to establish a branch there. s Vice-President and Dean of Faculties Marvin L. Niehuss said g the idea, fostered by the St. Joseph Greater Community Corp., has i not yet been discussed even informally. He said that the cities, n along Lake Michigan, must show a minimum student body potential a a4 and must find someone to finance the necessary buildings and C equipment. p The subject was broached with University. administrators at ao meeting in St. Joseph with alumni and area government officials. 1 See 'U', Page 8 i U Senate Criticizes Athie tics Faculty Slams Professionalism By JUDITH OPPENHEIM The University Senate yesterda slammed "professionalism" in col lege athletics. The group directed the Advisor Committee on University Affairs t communicate with the correspond ing bodies of other Big Ten school "to determine what action thei faculties might take to lessen the degree of professionalism in inter- collegiate athletics." The resolution was proposed by Prof. Robert C. Angell of the soci- ology department, who expressed disapproval over the removal of the need factor in the Big Ten's athletic aid program while com- mending the University's Board in Control of Intercollegiate Ath- letics, which opposed eliminating the need factor. Need Factor The Big Ten removed the need factor from its financial aid-to- athletes policy last week. Instead, it substituted an academic achieve- ment level that they believed would reduce losses due to stu- dents' flunking out of school. To be eligible according to the new plan, a freshman must have a high secondary class rank and achieve a test score which predicts an ability to achieve a grade point average of 1.7 in his first year. Prof. Angell said the need stipu- lation should b put back into the scholarship provisions and that scholarships should be given to those who deserve them. He does not believe athletes should be sub- sidized and given special conces- sions just because of their value as team members. Plant Agrees Prof. Marcus L. Plant of the law school, the faculty representative to the Big Ten, agreed that the need factor should be retained. He said last week that the gen- eral feeling which led to the Big Ten's dropping the need provision was that it will now be easier to recruit team members. The main objection coaches have had to grants based on need since this hampers recruiting and threw the area open to poaching by out- side schools. Verdict Nears As Eichmann Found Guilty JERUSALEM W) - Adolf Eich- mann's Israeli judges convicted him yesterday of "unsurpassed" crimes against the Jewish people. Their judgment linked the for- ner Gestapo colonel directly to hree major phases in the Nazi plot to exterminate six million Jews. Eichmann is liable to the death penalty under terms of a 1950 law he has been convicted of violating. The verdict came 18 months after Iraeli agents abducted Eichmann from Argentina and flew him here for trial. Sentence will be pronouncedf ater this week. Eichmann was permitted to re- ume his seat behind bullet proof' glass as his three judges alternated n reading their judgment. He never took his eyes off the bench is the justices read out a citation, of him as a "chief executioner" of persecution of the Jews in Ger- many from 1933 to 1939; from the outbreak of World War II to mid- 1941 and final solution of the Jew- sh problem-extermination. High Court Topples Conviction Of Civil Rights Demonstrators Jail Hayden After Sit-In YAt Terminal - s Police Also Arrest r Members of SNCC By RONALD WILTON Former Michigan Daily Editor Thomas Hayden, '61. and 10 other fpersons were arrested in Albany, Georgia, Sunday in an incident in- volving the desegregation of a train station. The group, including members r of the Southern Non-Violent Co- ordinating Committee (SNCC), Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and a Danish free * lance writer left Atlanta for Al- bany at 10 a.m. last Sunday. There were four white and five negroes. "All of us sat in what must have been a white car," Hayden said. The conductor ordered the Negro members of our group to move to the Negro car. They refused and there was no further trouble." A group of about 250 people, mostly Negroes, met us at the sta- tion. Plans for the ride had been announced in the Albany news- paper several days before. "We entered the station followed by several policemen. Two mem- bers of our group bought tickets to Jacksonville, Fla. and the rest of us sat down in the waiting room. At this point the police came up to us and told us to leave the sta- tion or we would be arrested. "We went outside and saw that about 75-100 whites had gathered. Several of our people wanted to see whether the Trailways bus sta- tion was desegregated so we headed towards a group of taxis. "Before we could get to the taxis' the police came up and started herding us into a knot while at the same time yelling at us to get into the cars. I was arrested on charges of disorderly conduct, re- fusing to obey an officer, and blocking the flow of traffic. Seven others in our party and three local people were also arrested. Hayden and several others were released on bond. "We go on trial this morning and will probably be found guilty. We shall appeal the decision," he said. Hayden explained that the bonds were posted by the Chris- tian fellowship and some local people. Two were released earlier to secure bonds fbr the others, but one was re-arrested within 20 minutes for distributing literature in the building. -AP wirephoto FOREIGN MINISTERS-Secretary of State Dean Rusk (second from right) confers with Lord Home of Great Britain (far left), West German Minister Gerhard Schroeder (third from left) and Maurice Couve de Murville of France at a meeting in Paris yesterday. Foreign Ministers To Study UN Control of West Berlin PARIS (M)-Proposals to place West Berlin under UN protection were laid before the big four foreign ministers yesterday by their staff of experts. The foreign ministers opened a wide-ranging study of world crises. Yesterday morning, before West Germany joined the consulta- tions, the American, British and French ministers called for uniting the Congo by peaceful means. In- AFL-CIO: Union Hits Hoffa Rule formants said this ruled out rec- ognition of strife-torn Katanga as an independent nation. Secretary of State Dean Rusk, British Foreign Secretary Lord Home and French Foreign Min- ister Maurice Couve de Murville met at the beginning of a week of momentous consultations that lat- er will embrace all the North At- lantic Treaty Organization. Then with Foreign Minister Gerhard Schroeder of West Ger- many, they took up the next move, if any, in their dispute with the Soviet Union over the status of West Berlin. American sources said the re- port pointed to the key problem confronting the four ministers: should the West go into negotia- tions with Russia on Berlin at the present time, or should the West wait for a more favorable occa- sion? France wants to wait. Rusk and Home, with Schroeder's bless- ing, want to talk now. Japanese Halt Rightwing Plot To Kill Leader TOKYO (;)--Police arrested 12 men yesterday for what authori- ties called a rightwing plot to assassinate Prime Minister Hay- ato Ikeda and other Japanese leaders. One accused plotter was iden- tified as an industrialist and an- other as a former general. The arrests were made in pre- dawn raids climaxing an inves- tigation started in September. Police said the 12 men admit- ted planning to kill Ikeda because they feared his pro-United States government could not prevent a Communist revolution in Japan. Leader of the group was iden- tified as Toyosaku Kawanami, 59- year-old president of Nichinan and Kawanami Industrial Co. Investigators said the men were members of an ultra-nationalist organization called the Society for Japanese History. Officials said they had no idea how large the society is. Police struck in, Tokyo, Fuk- kuoka and Nagasaki. Seven of the arrested men were identified as former servicemen. Police said six of them were grad- uates of Japan's pre-World War II military academy and one was a graduate of Japan's naval acad- ,emy. BAL HARBOUR, Fla. (9) -- The AFL-CIO acted yesterday to keep out the expelled Teamsters Union so long as it is headed by James R. Hoff a. Delegates to the AFL-CIO con- vention adopted a resolution by overwhelming voice vote to take1 back the Teamsters, or other unions ousted on corruption charges, only when such organiza- tions can meet completely the ethical practices standards of the federation's constitution. AFL-CIO President George Meany told the delegates he in- tends to enforce these standards. A spokesman for Meany said that meant the Teamsters won't be re- admitted while Hoffa is president. See Action The AFL-CIO action was seen as a rebuff to Hoffa's hopes of re- gaining prestige lost when the Teamsters were expelled four years ago on gorunds that the union was corruptly dominated under Hof- fa's leadership. In other action the AFL-CIO convention delegates voted support for President John F. Kennedy's proposals for more liberal trade policies including broad authority to negotiate across-the-board tar- iff reductions. Kennedy Visit Kennedy had come to the AFL- CIO convention himself last week to deliver a personal appeal in behalf of his plan, one that is sure to be hotly debated in Congress next year. Also during the day Negro in- tegrationist. Martin Luther King called on the AFL-CIO to face up forthrightly to what he termed the shameful racial discrimination practiced by some of its affiliated labor unions. Group Voids Loyalty oath Of Florida CORE Lauds Verdict In Louisiana Case: Forsee 'New Day' WASHINGTON J) -- Thae Su- preme Court overturned yesterday the conviction of 16 Negro sit-in demonstrators in Louisiana but left unanswered broad constitu- tional questions raised by the sit- in controversy. The Court also ruled unani- mously that Florida's loyalty oath law, as applied to public school teachers, was unconstitutional be- cause of "extraordinary ambigui- ty." The Court said persons tak- ing the oath "must swear they have not in the unending past lent their aid, support, or advice, or counsel, or influence to the Com- munist Party." New Day The Congress of Racial Equal- ity quickly hailed. the Louisiana decision as the dawning of a "new day" for Negroes, but officials of Southern states said it would have little effect on hundreds of sim- ilar pending cases. The Attorney General of Loui- siana said the Court did not pass on the constitutionality of the state's so-called sit-in law. Chief Justice Earl Warren, de- livering the Court's opinion, pointedly confined the unanimous decision to the Constituton's due process clause as applied to the convictions. Other Freedoms He said it was not necessary to consider other constitutional questions raised in the Louisiana cases--freedom of expression and equal protection. Nor, Warren said, was it neces- sary to decide in yesterday's de- cision whether a private business owner has the right to serve only whom he chooses, a question Louisiana had raised. He said that in the three 1960 Baton Rouge cases involved, at no time did rep- resentatives of the store owners ask the Negroes to leave the "whitehonly" lunch counters. These other questions could be touched on if the Court agrees to hear Virginia and North Carolina sit-in cases presented to it. The 16 Negroes, all students of Southern University in Baton Rouge, were convicted under a Louisiana law making it a breach of the peace to "act in such a manner as to unreasonably dis- turb or alarm the public. Smith Claims Court Avoids Broad Issues By ROBERT SELWA The Supreme Court avoided the broader issues of constitutionality in its unanimous decision yester- day to void the "breach of the peace" convictions of 16 Negro sit-in demonstrators, Allan F. Smith, dean of the law school, commented last night. "It's a common Supreme Court practice to avoid deciding a case on broad constitutional grounds when there are narrower grounds available," he said. The Court found no evidence that the Negroes, who were sitting- in at a segregated lunch counter in Baton Rouge, conducted them- elves in any way so as to create a public disturbance; they sat peacefully, Prof. Jerold Israel of the law school said. Because of this, the court ap- parently felt that there was no evidence before it of a real like- lihood of violence, he said. "The defense argued that the Negroes were arrested without be- ing asked to leave. The police just were over-anxious," Prof. Israel explained. "The decision is not a big victory fnr anvnne hegase it skivt the 'Peace Bomb' Scientists Seek Knowledge in Mine CARLSBAD (M)-Scientists probed cautiously yesterday for treas- ures of knowledge from the world's first known underground nuclear explosion detonated for purely peaceful purposes.

Both put some of the blame on college presidents. Yale University President A. Whitney Griswold said he believes that "we who hold the office (of president) spend so much time justifying what we're doing that and in some places by the digits in the football scoreboard." It was Hutchins who abolished varsity football at Chicago. Griswold, expressing his views in a booklet, "The University," pub- lished by the Center for Study of Democratic Institutions, saw hope that the "service station concept of the university" might be on its way out.
