(Continued -from Page 1)

One Ann Arbor resident, Jo-
seph Harrison, said he was told
to leave, though he was not charg-'
ed with any disturbance. Harri-
son claimed he could thing of no
reason why he should have been
asked to leave. "I could only guess
at one. I can imagine no other
reason than the fact that I am a
Negro, if this is any reason."
The Board, meeting again in
executive session, said it would
continue to take "such firm and
positive action" as is necessary to
promote the interests of the ma-
jority of.its members and guests.
The special facilities commit-
tee, which made use of a random
survey of students, faculty and
alumni, will present its recom-
mendations to the board at its
meeting next month.
Student Action..
Early last year several Univer-
sity students became concerned
with the plight of Southern Ne-
groes who were losing their jobs
and endangering their lives by in-
sisting upon their right to reg-
ister to vote.

ple in Freedom Village as the city
of tents came to be called.
University students David Gil-
trow, '61; Andrew Hawley, Grad;
Kenneth McEldowney, '62, and
Nancy Press, '64, traveled to Ten-
nessee in February with food and
clothing collected for families in
Fayette and Haywood by Voice
party. Giltrow and Hawley were
arrested, ostensibly for having run
through a stop sign and were told
to leave the county, being permit-
ted to deliver their supplies only
under close police surveillance.
More recently the focus of civil
rights action in the South has been
Mississippi, where the Student
Non-Violent Coordinating Com-
mittee has been working to edu-
cate Negroes so that they will
be able to pass the voter registra-
tion test. Daily Editor John Rob-
erts, '61, and Editorial Director
Faith Weinstein, '61, visited Mis-
sissippi in October and reported
that it was in a state of siege.
"Direct action-sit-ins, protest
marches, picketing - has been
methodically crushed," they wrote
afterwards. "The pattern was
most dramatically demonstrated
in the Freedom Rides last sum-
mer, when more than 300 persons

attempting to register and whites
helping them.
October 11, SGC sent a letter to
Attorney General Robert Kennedy
mentioning the first incident in-
volving Hayden and Potter and
urging the federal government
"take immediate action within its
power to restore law and order in
McComb."
At its Oct. 25 meeting, the Coun-
cil sent a letter to Kennedy "not-
ing the recent evidence of violence
and lawlessness in Mississippi in
connection with Negro civil rights
activities and urging him to pub-
licly declare under what conditions
the federal government will in-
tervene in Mississippi and what
form such intervention will take."
The letter also urged the at-
torney general to implement ac-
tively through investigation and
prosecution all existing federal
civil rights legislation and es-
pecially to implement those laws
which authorize hi mto file suit
in federal court against all those
who hinder Negroes when they
register to vote.
In a letter to Gov. Ross Barnett
of Mississippi, the Council asked
for guarantee of protection to
everyone in the state, upholding
of the rights of citizens of all
races to assemble in non-violent
protest and insurance that 18 stu-
dents up for trial in Pike County,
Miss. would receive fair and just
treatment.
Last spring SGC passed a motion
condemning the movie "Operation
Abolition." The film was produced
by the House Committee on Un-
american Activities and portrays
the demonstrations by California
students outside the chambers in
San Francisco where the Commit-
tee held hearings in May, 1960.
Commentary by HUAC members
charges that the students who
participated in the protest were
unwitting Communist-led dupes.
SGC members objected to the dis-
tortions and implications of the
movie.
The Council showed "Operation
Abolition" twice on the campus
last year. At the second showvn,
Fulton Lewis III-who narrates
the film and toured the country

speaking in its behalf-debated the
issues raised by SGC with Council
member Roger Seasonwein, Grad.
At its August congress in Madi-
son, Wis., the United States Na-
tional Student Association took a
strong stand on the whole topic
of HCAC after a year-long con-
troversy over "Operation Aboli-
tion."
The Congress condemned the
film and called for abolition of the
Committee after extensive debate
by factions which believed the
HUAC should be modified or main-
tained as is.
After minimal debate, the Con-
gress adopted a basic policy dec-
laration on the tradition of "in
loco parentis." The statement,
written by Hayden, condemned the
practice and called for an exami-
nation of "the ways in which 'in
loco parentis,' as a theory, deter-
mined the attitudes of administra-
tions toward students and the way
in which it conditions the response
of the individual student in as-
serting his own social and aca-
demic freedoms."
SGC condemned nonacademic
evaluations in the chemistry de-
partment and in the mens and
womens residence halls. Council
members thought them inappro-
priate and a violation of student
rights for counselors to report
Simsar Enters
Council Race
. Asserting that Ann Arbor should
be primarily a residential commu-
nity, Arthur H. Simsar yesterday
announced his candidacy for City
Council.
The fourth ward Democrat is
seeking the seat of Republican
Wendell E. Hulcher.
Simsar charged that there is a
lack of balance in council empha-
sis between the commercial and
the residential problems of the
city, and commented that the Re-
publican-dominated council has
not offered a balanced program of
planning and development in re-
cent years.

on a student's loyalty or his per-
sonal dress and habits.
The Council moved very slowly
towards decisive action on fra-
ternity bias this year. Waiting
more than a year for the campus
fraternities and sororities to file
required statements on their mem-
bership policies, the Council fin-
ally put down a Jan. 17 deadline
for their submission. Penalties
were not specified clearly nor was
process by whcih a chapter could
gain exemptions.
Alpha Tau Omega, Beta Theta
Pi, Phi Delta Theta, Sigma Chi'
and Sigma Nu chapters on other
campuses washed their linen in
headlines as they faced problems
with their nationals and local col-
lege officials over bias clauses.
ATO at Stanford lost its chapter
at Stanford after its refusal to
depledge a Jewish student. Phi
Delta national suspended its chap-
ter at Lake Forest College for
similar action.
This fall the campus saw the
development of a strong move-
ment dedicated to world peace
and the cessation of nuclear test-
ing. A crowd of 500 students, fac-
ulty and administrators attended
a Veteran's Day Peace Assembly
on the Diag where they heard
speeches by Profesors Kenneth E.
Boulding of the economics depart-
fent, J. David Singer of the Mental
Health Research Institute and
Arnold S. Kaufman of the Philos-
ophy department.
An Americans Committed to
World Responsibility sponsored
petition calling for an under-
graduate interdisciplinary course
in peace drew more than 600 sig-
natures from interested students.
More than 225 persons signod
a Veterans' Day telegram to Pres-
ident John F. Kennedy and Soviet
Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev
protesting atomic tests.
Wayne State University last
February withdrew recognition
temporarily from the Young
Democrats, the Young Republicans
and the Independent Socialists.
The action was taken by a
three-man committee appointed to
control all WSU political clubs.
Petitions were immediately cir-

culated on the campus protesting
the committee's actions.
The YD's and YR's were per-,
mitted to apply for recognition,
but the IS had no such opportun-
ity because it violated 1954 deans'
council regulations that said cam-
pus political parties must belong to!
state or national organizations.
academics ...
The University lost a few more
of its top faculty as offers came
to more than one out of every
five regular members of the teach-
ing staff.
Unable to grant an across-the-
board salary increase or even sub-
stantia merit pay boosts, Univer-
sity administrators were still able
to make up losses suffered in
aother departments in previous
years. But, it grew harder to at-
tract and keep the bright younger
men.
Through the efforts of a few
persons, the faculty as a whole
gained more say in formulating
overall University policy. A
strengthened Senate Advisory
Committee served as liason with
the administration .and brought
to it the ideas of creating a Uni-
versity center for college teaching
and increasing the number of fac-
ulty members on the broad of
athletics.
The Honors Council succeeded
in gaining its first "professor in
residence," Prof. Harold Stein.
Prof. Stein offered a seminar in
"Politics and Society in the United
States" this semester and plans
one on government bureaucracy
for the spring.
Prof. Otto Graf, director of the
Council, also announced that he
would seek funds from the Nation-
al Science Foundation to finance
undergraduate independent study
and research. Opportunities for
study will be offered in many de-
partments, ranging from anthro-
pology to philosophy of science.
This fall, the Peace Corps estab-

lished a training center at the
University for its volunteers who
will serve in Thailand.
Dean of Statewide Education
Harold Dorr heads up the pro-
gram, assisted by Prof. Marvin
Felheim of the English depart-
ment, Prof. William J. Gedney
also of the English department,
Guy G. Reiff of the physical ed-
uication department, and Dean
Myron E. Wegman of the public
health school.

with the University of Wisconsin,

France beginning next semester.
Financed by a grant from the
Carnegie Corporation, the program
will be open to students .of "onors
caliber" in all departments.
The overseas study program will
