Charles S. Kennedy, IttrilRegent
By MICHAEL HARRAH
and MICHAEL OLINICK
W HEN Charles S. Kennedy
leaves his last Regents'
meeting this afternoon, his con-
nection with the University will
hardly be severed.
The 74-year-old physician-
who completes 16 years as a
member of the University's gov-
erning board today-will keep
an experienced finger on the
pulse of a "tremendously, ex-
panded" campus he helped to
plan.
Kennedy's link with the fac-
ulty, administration and stu-
dent body will be maintained
through his grandson, a Uni-
versity freshman, and his son,
Charles S. Kennedy, Jr., who
may next year repeat his bid for
a GOP Regental nomination.
A "rock-ribbed Republican"
from Detroit, Kennedy and fel-
low GOP candidate Otto E.
Eckert were elected to the
Board of Regents in 1946 and
both captured a 200,000 vote
margin when re-elected in 1953.
Their places on the eight-man
board will be taken over by
Democrat Allan E. Sorenson
and Republican Paul G. Goebel.
KENNEDY sees the constant
expansion of facilities andustu-
dent enrollment as the most
significant and awesome aspect
of the University.
"When I camne to Ann Arbor
as a freshman in 1907, there
were only 3,000 students here,
but we had one of the great in-
stitutions in the )country, both
in size and quality.
"We continued to grow and
maintain our standards," he
says, proudly pointing to the
development of North Campus.
"We have no choice but to ex-
pand facilities and enrollment
more without sacrifices to qual-
ity."
Though he jovially refers to
himself as a "back - slapping
Irishman," Kennedy expresses
humility before the accomplish-.
ments of the past century and
those which are yet to come.
"It's unbelievable what will
happen in the next 100 years at
the University," he says.
* * *
POINTING to his own profes-
sion, Kennedy-a 1913 Medical
School graduate - sees more
progress made in surgery during
the past 50 years than in the
past 5,000 years. "Similar strides
have been recorded in every
field of knowledge," he adds.
This phenomenal increase In
knowledge will put greater and
greater emphasis on graduate
level studies as time goes on.
"As a general rule, graduate
studies demand more money
than less specialized training,
but many individual men have
made great achievements with
a minimum of equipment." He
points to the development of the
first electro-cardiograph out of
rudimentary materials by a
University doctor.
He cautions, however, .that
undergraduate instruction
should not be curtailed. "I'd
hate to see our undergraduates
sacrificed to graduate re-
search."
* * *
KENNEDY'S entrance into
politics was a casual one and
his electoral successes came al-
most as surprises.
"I was at a Christmas party
in 1944 and some of my friends
urged me to run for the Re-
gents. I told them my medical
practice wouldn't allow for
much campaigning, and I
doubted the seriousness of their
offer at first. After 16 years on
the job, however, I can say that
I'd rather be Regent than hold
any other political office."
His University classmates
were hardly surprised at Ken-
nedy's success as a vote getter.
The 1913 'Ensian cites him as
"the most popular man" in his
class.
"Under the leadership of our
experienced president, Chuck
Kennedy, we may safely sur-
mount the difficulties which
confront us and that land of
our dreams where dwells the
unsuspecting public," the year-
book editors wrote.
KENNEDY is a staunch ad-
vocate of partisan elections for
the governing boards of state
institutions. "The fact that the
people elect the Regents has led
to the situation where we can
honestly say there is no better-
operated university."
He puts himself on the "mid-
dle ground" as far as tuition is
concerned, believing that stu-
dents should not be paid to at-
tend the University ("there's
nothing worthwhile unless you
work for it"), but that tuition
must be kept low ("we don't
want to price ourselves out of
the market").
Kennedy believes the Univer-
sity student of 1961 is much the
same as his predecessor 50 years
ago. "People are about the same
as their grandfathers. When I
was a student, we had our share
of student demonstrations, too.
I can remember a big theatre
riot, and the day we derailed
a handcar."
* * *
THIS PREMISE underlies
Kennedy's firm belief that "it
is part of the University's busi-
ness to set up rules in conform-
ance of normal standards. If
you can't develop society's val-
ues in a great university, where
can you?"
Kennedly's last visit to cam-
pus was in the midst of the
controversy about letting wom-
en students visit in quadrangle
rooms.
As a Regent, doctor and
father of six children, Kennedy
found himself "unalterably op-
posed to the idea," and could see
"no sense" in permitting it.-
"The University must guide
persons morally, socially and
educationally. Nothing that in-
terferes with good taste or that
leads to deterioration must be
permitted."
Student government can aid
the student's development, and
Kennedy believes Student Gov-
ernment Council should be
allowed "to present any rea-
sonable sort of thought." The
Regents will never turn the ad-
ministration of tht University
over to the students, however,
he said with a laugh.
Pausing for a moment outside
his room at the Michigan Union,
Kennedy joined Eckert as they
walked toward another Regents'
meeting. A solemn nod indi-
cated that both deeply felt the
responsibility for the Univer-
sity's future-a future which
their votes helped iold.

Holiday Travel
By NEIL COSSMAN
Approximately 15,000 students
are expected to leave Ann Arbor
this weekend to be with their
families during the Christmas
holidays which begin tomorrow at
noon and end Jan. 3.
Plane, train and bus terminals
have' been feeling the pressure of
the annual exodus through a
heavy volume of advance ticket
sales.
And students have been seeking
automobile rides for weeks via
campus bulletin boards. Perhaps
the busiest of these boards is
Michigan Union service near the
MUG.
Large Map
It features a large United States
map cut into nine regions, each
dotted with small metal hooks.
Maize and blue address cards are
put on the hooks by students of-
fering or wanting rides.
Ticket Sales
There have been heavy advance
ticket sales on many bus runs, but
about seven extra buses from De-
troit will be available at the Ann
Arbor station to accommodate ex-
tra passengers, the Greyhound
terminal reported. Railroads are
also expecting crowded conditions.
Good flying conditions are fore-
cast by the United States Weather
Bureau, although there is a chance
of snow flurries this weekend.
Weather in the Ann Arbor area
will be partly cloudy and colder
today, with a high of 24.
Roads were slippery in the Ann
Arbor area last night and snowy
in southwestern Michigan. Buses,
however, were running on time
yesterday. Tomorrow should bring
REFUTES CRITICISMS:
Hatcher Hits 'Generalizations'
By PATRICIA O'CONNOR
University President Harlan H.
Hatcher views as "sweeping gen-
eralizations" the charges of des-
perate corruption in the values
of contemporary higher education.
Charges that such corruption
exists spring from Yale Univer-
sity President A. Whitney Gris-
wold and Robert M. Hutchins,
former chancellor of the Univer-
sity of Chicago. Both leveled part
of the attack on college presidents.
Comenting on the "service sta-
tion concept of the university"
noted by Griswold in a booklet,
"The University," P r e s i d e n t
Hatcher holds that the service
station concept does not exist as
a byproduct of a large university.
"Many large universities may not
be placed in this category."

position was still what it was Wed-
nesday when Undersecretary of
State George W. Ball stated that
no cease-fire was feasible until
minimum UN objectives had been
achieved.
"if you're going to get a cease-
fire," one said, "you would as-
sume that the UN would agree to
it. And the UN would not agree to,
it until it had accomplished its
objectives."
On the record, those objectives
remained as Thant stated them
last Sunday-when he said he
would welcome any peaceful ini-
tiatives but that the fight would
go on until the United Nations was
satisfied it could implement all its
Congo resolutions.
Ask Removal
Those resolutions call, among
other things, for removal of for-
eign mercenaries deemed to be the
main prop of Tshombe's seces-
sion.
Thant's letter responded to
Britain's expressed worry about
the purpose of the UN Karmnga
operations that started Dec. 5.
British delegate Sir Patrick Dean
had asked Thant for it earlier in
the day atha conference with
Thant and United States Ambas-
sador Adlai E. Stevenson.
United States sources said Stev-
enson had not joined in the re-
quest and was "an innocent by-
stander" in the affair. They said
he saw Thant by himself several
times afterward to tell him what

Veteran diplomats speculated
that:
1) Tshombe wanted to get out
of the fighting what he could be-
fore the UN force started an ex-
pected big push.
2) The United States and the
United Nations were probing to
find out whether he was ready to
negotiate seriously with Adoula
for a unified Congo.
ACLIT Seeks
Free Speech
Colleges and universities should
grant students the right of free
discussion in off-campus political
activities, student-sponsored for-
ums and the operation of newspa-
pers and radio stations, the Amer-
ican Civil Liberties Union urged
yesterday.
In a new edition of its pamphlet
on academic freedom and civil
rights for college students, the
union also called for an end to
discrimination in social clubs, fra-
ternities and off-campus housing
facilities.
The pamphlet emphasizes the
right of college students to engage
,in off-campus picketing or other
types of demonstrations without
being penalized by the college ad-
ministration, provided they do not
claim without authorization to
represent their administration.,
"Students should not be shackl-
ed by college control, nor should
the college be held responsible
for the off-campus activities of
its individual students . . . when
students choose to participate in
activities that result in police ac-
tion . . . it's an infringement of
their liberty got the college to pun-
ish such activity."
BishopEmeric h To Give

cial, moral and political issues, composed several articles and pamph-
lets and writes a weekly newspa-
per column in Detroit.

eloror arts degree at Brown Uni-
versity. His bachelor of divinity
degree was earned at Union Theo-
logical Seminary. He also holds a

Rapid Implementing
By State Institutions
By CAROLINE DOW
Plans for a Michigan Co-
ordinating Council for Public
Highr Education were approved
in Lansing yesterday by members
of the governing boards of the
state's colleges and' universities. "
The proposed council would be
made up of governing board rep-
resentatives, the presidents of
Michigan's four-year public in-
stitutions, plus a representative
from the state's junior colleges.
It would "plan for the orderly
development and coordination of
public higher education in the
state," Regent Eugene Power,
chairman of the coordination
study committee, announced.
December Meeting
The plan will be submitted at
the December meetings of the
various individual governing'
boards for their approval, and for
appointment of a representative
and an alternate from each board.
An organizational meeting is plan-
ned for January.
"We plan to move very rapidly,"
Power said.
The council will combine the
resources and staff of "_: -Council
of State College Presidents and
the Association of Governing
Boards. Council Executive Secre-
tary M. M. Chambers will serve
in the same capacity for the co-
ordinating council and the offices
will be in Lansing.
Statewide View
Power noted that the purpose
of the council will be to provide
a statewide view to the problems
of higher education rather than
each institution being guided by
its own needs.
Since the state has limited re-
sources, it is up to the board
members as the elected represen-
tatives of the people to see that
the funds are spent with maxi-
mum benefit and result, Power
said.
Coordination would be imple-
mented by reviewing the needs
of institutions, determining the
greatest state needs and then
recommending where the funds
could best be allocated, he added.
No Power
The council will have no power
to enforce its decisions, but mu-
tual agreement, pressures of the
public, press, legislature and the
governor will probably insure com-
pliance, Power said.
Ultimately, the council hopes
to be able to submit a unified bud-
get for all institutions upon which
they all agree.

Care must be taken, he pointed
out, not to commit the University
to programs it cannot assume
without overtaxing staff and fa-
cilities and, alternatively, prema-
turely initiating a large summer
operation, before the "social pres-
sures attendant upon population
pressures make the requisite num-
ber of students available."
