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.

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." In contrast to Griswold who Two Regents To Bow Out After 16 Years Regents Otto E. Eckert of Lans- ing and Charles S. Kennedy of Detroit, both 'Republicans, will serve at their last meeting this afternoon. Both are retiring after 16 years of service on the Board. The Board is expected to accept the resignations of Prof. Kenneth Stewart of the journalism depart- ment and Prof. Joseph Boyd, di- rector of the Institute of Science and Technology. Director of University Relations Michael Radock said that greatest r., sees the secondary school as the scene of most desparate corrup- tion, President Hatcher cites the great improvement attained by high schools in th last few years in preparing students for college. Griswold had charged that "we who hold the office (of college presidents) spend so much time justifying what we're doing that we don't have time to do what we're justifying."

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 Kennedy was doing, Diplomats Speculate 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 Commencement Address Rt. Rev. Richard S. Emrich, Episcopal bishop of the Michigan Diocese will discuss "Some Aspects of a Philosophy of History as Re- vealed in a Form of Popular Modern Literature" at midyear gradua- tion. President Harlan Hatcher will preside over the Jan. 20 ceremony in Hill Aud. which will graduate 1,660 students. The Episcopal leader, bishop since 1948, has spoken widely on so- cial, moral and political issues, composed several articles and pamph- lets and writes a weekly newspa- per column in Detroit. Bishop Emrich received a bach- eloror arts degree at Brown Uni- versity. His bachelor of divinity degree was earned at Union Theo- logical Seminary. He also holds a doctor of philosophy degree from the University of Marburg; a doc- tor of sacred theology from Ken- yon College, and a doctor of divin- ity from Huron College, London, Ont., Canada. Ordained in 1936, Emrich serv- ed as an assistant in Waterbury, Conn. and rector in South Lincoln , . and Marion, Mass. He was on the faculty of the Episcopal Theologi- cal School, Cambridge, Mass. from 1937 to 1946. Bishop Emrich is a member of the American Theological Society and has been honored with the Commander of the Order of the British Empire. He is a trustee of Cranbrook School, Bloomfield Hills and Olivet College. His books include "The Conception of the Church in the Writings of Baron von Hugel." Unit New, Councl Would Plan Development Power Prophesizes 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. Concert THE MAN AND THE BELLS-Prof. Percival P.
