By RICHARD KRAUT Why does a research firm come to Ann Arbor? The existence of a large univer- sity in the city is one of the great- est attractions. It has thus far helped draw 25 research establish- ments not associated with the Uni- versity to Ann Arbor. These firms employ about 2500 people ahd have annual operating budgets totaling more than $40 million. Fourteen of the 25 com- panies have been organized by former University personnel. There are at least six attrac- tions the University directly offers to these research firms, Assistan Director of Research Administra- tion Hobert A. Boyd noted recent- ly. First, technological advances are being made so rapidly that "research laboratory people must have a convenient way of keeping up to date on developments in their fields. In Ann Arbor, research firm employes can attend conferences symposia and other important meetings." Small Sessions Boyd also emphasized the im- portance of small, informal meet- ings in the city. "This is part of the advantage of a highly cultural community. People in research can benefit from living in the same community with those knowledg- able in their area." The second benefit the Univer- sity offers to research firms is "easy access to libraries. Firms in Ann Arbor often borrow periodi- cals and books through an inter- library loan system," Boyd noted Third, it is "always easy to find a consultant in Ann Arbor. The specialized help in the city en- ables research establishments to hire- employes for as little as one to two days." Graduate Students Fourth, the existence of the re- search firm in Ann Arbor can often draw upon graduate students in technical areas. The research firms, Boyd emphasized, "would like to see more graduates stay in the city in order to build up its scientific potential." The fifth advantage, one closely related to the fourth, is that em- ployes of research corporations can further their education while working in Ann Arbor. Finally, the research firm "can make use of University laboratories and special equipment by sub- contracting some of its work,' Boyd said. Not Important He emphasized, however, that the existence of a large university in Ann Arbor is not the only rea- son 25 firms have established themselves here. "In fact," Boyd added, "this may not even be th most important reason." As an example, Boyd cited a talk he recently had with the di- rector of Martin-Marietta in Bal- timore, a firm which was think- ing about changing the location of their Research Institute for Ad- vanced Study. The director offer- ed several criteria often used t evaluate locations for research es- tablishments. The first question is whether or not the location is "in a well-es- tablished cultural community, sat- isfying the living requirements o of hours for all women excepting " freshmen, and also asks for ex- tension of the number of late minutes allowed to women each semester. Three other proposals will be submitted to the OSA along with a request for more immediate im- plementation. These include rec- ommendations for an extension of weekend pers of all women to 1:30 a.m. and weekday closings of freshmen women to midnight. Visit Apartments The Council also asks for im- mediate consideration of the granting of permission for fresh- men women to visit apartments. In its rationale Council noted that "at this time implimentation of these regulations might present difficult problems," but added that Council "strongly encourages wo- r men's organizations on campus to study intensively such admin- istrative problems toward the ob- jective of realizing passage of tne regulations with all possible speed." Four of the six proposals were passed in a voice vote, but Coun- cil called for a roll call in con- sideration of the recommendations for granting of apartment permis- sion to juniors, which ended in passage by a 9-6 vote, and in t abolishment of hours for all wo- men except freshmen, with eight - for, six against, and one absten- tion. SGC final action on the women's hours proposals, which originated in the Committee on Student Ac- tivities, followed a discussion of last week and passage of four amendments. However, action on the entire motion was postponed. Least Restrictive Supporters of the motion cited the Committee's survey on wo- men's hours, and noted that hours regulations "should be as least f restrictive as possible under pres- ent political and social pressures, and should apply to all students regardless of sex." However, opponents questioned the validity of the survey, the de- sire of junior women to live out- side of organized housing, and also indicated a concern with - Administration reaction to the proposals. "No" votes came from . several Council members who doubted the possibility of OSA implementation of the recom- mendations. In other action, Council failed to endorse the report of the Com- mittee on Student Concerns call- ing for election of SGC members - by districts, and also refused to mandate the Committee to make further studies of districting. Form Group For Campaig STwenty students have formed a Students for Cudlip and White for Regents, group, chairman Freder- ick Riecker, '63, said last night. s The group hopes to bring William B. Cudlip of Grosse Pointe and Ink White of St. Johns to campus to speak to the student body and present information. Hatcher Discusses Graduates By The Associated Press WASHINGTON-A nation need- ing "leadership universities" - like the University - should not neglect professional and graduate education, University President Harlan Hatcher told the annual Washington alumni meeting last night. Hetwarned that these units will get lost in the attention given to the tidal wave of college fresh- men. "Most of the education bills now before Congress are directed to- ward the broad spread of educa- tion. U Needs Help "Institutions like the University need help, and they need it im- mediately," President Hatcher warned. "Some 10,412 students who al- ready have graduated from college now are on the University cam- pus-creating pressures and needs that are just as great as those at the freshman level," he added. "Universities are emerging as the centers of the most exciting experiences in modern civilized societies," he declared. Post Accomplishment President Hatcher cited the ac- tivities of the University, but warned that it could not stand on past accomplishment. The University has 22 "centers of excellence" ranging from aero- space instrumentation and missile radiation to human genetics and seismic detection of nuclear ex- plosions. Each of these centers, he added, has attractedenon-legislative in- come of $1 million or more in the past three years. "I believe this is not duplicated by any university in the nation," President Hatcher asserted. "The University has been so successful and it is so eminant that there has developed, I fear, an implied policy that the Uni- versity may be allowed now to stand on its accomplishments while other institutions and other obligations are developed and ful- filled. "This is a dangerous attitude which neither the state nor the nation can afford to accept," President Hatcher declared. To Use Ships With Missiles WASHINGTON (Ae)-A sugges- tion that surface ships can be used for a start on a Polaris mis- sile system for the North Atlintic Treaty Organization got United States backing yesterday. The State Department, obvious- ly after consultation with the De- fense Department, said a multi- nation force using Polaris nuclear missiles could be composed of eith- er surface ships or submarines or both. A spokesman then added that studies made by this country indi- cate it would be advantageous to equip the, force with surface ships at least initially. The United States position was developed as Livingston J. Mer- chant, special envoy to NATO, prepared to leave for broad dis- cussions with some of the allied countries on the subject of the NATO force. Pickets To To Support Urge Fair, Hatcher Housing SGC Urges Firm Stand OnNon-Discrimination By ANDREW ORLIN Student Government Council last night voted to urge University President Harlan Hatcher to make a public statement "clearly stress- ing the Regental stand on non-discrimination" and support of a fair housing ordinance. The action which came on a motion of Daily editor Michael Oli- nick, '63, and Council member Robert Ross, '63, was taken to "in- crease greatly the probability of the passage of the fair housing ,ordinance" under consideration by Schools Ask New Names special To The Daily LANSING - The Senate passed bills to .change the names of Northern Michigan College to Northern Michigan University, and Ferris Institute to Ferris State College yesterday. The Ferris College bill, however, ran into some trouble on the floor when Sen. Frank G. Beadle (R- St. Claire) suggested "the word 'college' does not descride accur- ately the course of study offered by Ferris." The bill will now go to the House. Rep. Gilbert Bursley (R-Ann Arbor) commented that the stu- dents of Ferris, who are "really the important ones," would "feel better ,and possibly have a great- er chance for success in the fu- ture," if they had graduated from a "college." His Signature Both Rep. Dominic Jacobetti (D-Negaunee) and NMC President Edgar L. Harden expressed pleas- ure at the passage of the bill, which will now go to the Governor for his signature. "Now that the Attorney General has made his ruling, I will not press for passage for the Sales Tax Exemption for Yearbooks Bills," said Rep. Joseph Gillis (D- Detroit). "It could be passed, but there is really no need for it." He stated that he was satisfied for the time being, although "the present attorney general's ruling is not binding on future tax com missions." Real Estate Bursley announced yesterday that he plans to introduce a bill concerning real estate taxes on community theatres. "This legis- lation would affect the Ann Arbor Civic Theatre," he said. In discussing the future of his Joint Resolution B, Sen. Benja- min Guzowski (D-Detroit) stated "we are now negotiating to get it out of committee." This legisla- tion would prohibit subversives from speaking at any state sup- ported institutions. "If we are unable to get the bill out of committee, I will introduce another bill, outlawing the Com- munist Party in the State of Michigan," Guzowski stated. the Ann Arbor. City Council to- night. The University policy against discrimination is stated in Regents Bylaw 2.14. According to the mo- tion, the bylaw "commits the Uni- versity to a policy of working for the elimination of discrimination . . from non-University sources where students and employes of the University are involved." University Policy Although the Regents bylaw was passed in 1959, President Hatcher has not made any statement con- cerning fair housing, Olinick said. Olinick said that the University has taken very little strong ac- tion in this field. He noted that up until now the University has mere- ly revoked the right to post apart- ment advertisements on University bulletin boards to landlords who practiced discrimination. Union President On an amendment by Union' President Robert Finke, '63, the motion was amended so as not to constitute this action as sup- port of any public demonstration by any group. This amendment was to deny any tie with the pro- posed student picket of President Hatcher's house and the Adminis- tration Building today. Olinick stated that the motion was made not in support of any demonstra- tion but to get support for the fair housing ordinance.' SGC President Steven Stock- meyer,d 63, and Council member Richard G'sell, '63, called today's demonstration illegal. G'sell claim- ed that by passing this piece of legislation, Council would in fact be backing that demonstration. He also cited that the passage of this bill would make SGC a pressure group instead of a legislative body. -Daily-Richard Cooper PICKET PROPOSAL-David Aroner, '64, chairman of the Human Relations Boards, last night called for a student picket on tomor- row's meeting of the Board of Regents. / Various Student Groups Support Demonstration Various student groups have expressed statementssupporting the demonstration which will be held from 3-5 p.m. today at the Admin- istration Bldg. The following are partial excerpts from the statement released by the Human Relations Board: In a survey conducted by the Student Government Council Human Relations Board in the spring of 1960, it was found that approximately 50 per cent of the housing units' tested would not accept non-whites as tenants. Dr. Davis, director of the In- ternational Center, in a letter to the Ann Arbor Human Relations Commission on June 7, 1962, stat- ed that: "We recognize that there is prejudice in Ann Arbor, but we tried to 'cushion' the foreign schol- ar from it." On Feb. 13, 1963, the Human Relations Board requested that President Hatcher publicly support and urge the implementation of this meaningful 'legislation. Vice- President Lewis, speaking for President Hatcher, informed a del- egation of the Board that it is a policy of the University not to in- volve itself in "local political mat- ters," that the President's office will not issue any statement relat- ed to housing legislation. , PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION: Panel Proclaims u' Program. By ELLEN SILVERMAN AASA Ignores Kennedy's ~ Aid to Education Program By G. K. HODENFIELD Associated Press Education Writer ATLANTIC CITY - The American Association of School Ad- ministrators ignored President John F. Kennedy's 24-point aid to education program yesterday. It repeated its demands for massive federal expenditures restricted to the first 14 years of public education. With only one voice raised in dissent, the AASA asked for grants to the states of at least $200 per public school pupil per year. No price " tag was attached, but the cost probably would exceed $8-9 billion a year. The Kennedy program, touch- ing all bases of education from tAdequate kindergarten through graduate school and including private col- leges and universities, would cost an estimated $5.3 billion over a four-year period. Throughout their 95th annual convention, starting Saturday and ending yesterday, the administrat- ors discussed Kennedy's omnibus program. Cautious optimism was, expressed that the President's program might get through Con- gress despite the obviously rough road ahead. The resolution adopted over- whelmingly yesterday, however, was written and presented as though the President's message Bill To Pose' Tax Revision, By CARL COHEN Special To The Daily LANSING - R e p. Gilbert E. Bursley (R-Ann Arbor) plans to introduce a bill to the House to- day that will remove personal and household property from the list of items eligible for taxation. He hopes thereby to solve the problem of tax assessment which has recently become cause for con- cern for local fraternities and sor- orities. He noted yesterday, "there are several marginal chapters which would be greatly hurt by a tax of a few hundred dollars." According to Bursley, difficulty arose last year when the City of Ann Arbor read the state tax law and decided that under a strict interpretation, fraternities and sororities should be taxed for all personal property in excess of $5000. Attack That Problem "There were three possible ways of attacking the problem," Burs- ley said. "First, we could exempt fraternities and sororities from this tax, as was suggested by Sen. (Stanley G.) Thayer (R-Ann Ar-, bor). One difficulty with this plan, however, is that other organiza- tions, such as fraternal lodges could then demand the same ex- emption." Less Than One This new exemption for all per- sonal and household property would cost the state a lot less than one per cent of its revenue, he said, and it would "possibly save the state money in the long run." Bursley explained that if the fraternities and sororities were assessed under the present law, some of the more than 4000 stu- dents who are presently living in them would be forced to move back into the dorms. The trouble arose under the old tax setup, because the wide variety of assessment methods created a situation where in some munici- palities personal property was taxed, and in others it wasn't. "Generally, p e r s o n a 1 property taxes have poorly and ununiform- Protest Lack Of Response By President HRB To Lead March At Regents' Meeting; Faculty To Take Part By JEAN TENANDER and MARILYN KORAL The Human Relations Board will hold a student-faculty picket today protesting University Pres- dent Harlan Hatcher's lack of re- sponse to a request from the board that he urge enactment of a fair housing law in Ann Arbor. The HRB asked for the state- mont in a letter t4o President Hatcher on Feb. 13. The letter in- dicated that a definitive state- ment from President Hatcher was called for since Regents Bylaw 2-14 expressly states that the Uni- versity "shall work for elimina- tion of discrimination from non- University sources where students and employees of the University are involved." The statement the board hoped to receive from President Hatcher was intended to precede tonight's meeting of the Ann Arbor city council which is preparing a fair housing ordinance. However, President Hatcher re- ferred the request to Vice-Presi- dent James A. Lewis' office. Lewis and Director of Univer- sity Relations Michael Radock met with the group on Monday, Feb. 18. At this time they informed the HRB that it was not the University policy to get involved in local legislation. David Aroner, '64, chairman of the HRB, said "although Bylaw 2-14 does not commit the Univer- sity to a definite policy of issuing public statements or supporting legislation, the moral issue in- volved and the role of the Univer- sity warrants such action." Pointing out the University has a responsibility to the students and to the University community to make strong public statements on vital issues, Aroner said, "Such a statement by the President should be forthright and unam- biguous, and be issued as an administrative policy of the high- est priority." In accordance with such a be- lief Aroner said the HRB had decided that if the University was unwilling to make a public state- ment they should openly state their reasons for failing to do so. This, plus the imminence of the city council's consideration of housing legislation convinced the HRB it could wait no longer with- out action and it informed Vice- President Lewis of its decision to hold a demonstration. The statement to Vice-President for Student Affairs James Lewis made it clear that the demon- stration would be called off if President Hatcher met the de- mands of the board. President Hatcher, presently at- tending a conference in Washing- ton, D.C., could not be reached by Vice-President Lewis last night. When informed by Aroner that the demonstration was planned, Vice- President Lewis attempted to con- tact President Hatcher in the hopes of obtaining a statement. Despite the fact that President Hatcher could not be reached, the Board voted to go ahead with the demonstration because the by- law, which was passed by the Re- gents four years ago, has never received public recognition by President Hatcher. "Repeated attempts to elicit some support from President Hatcher for bylaw 2.14 faled. While discussing their experience in public service, four panelists concluded last night that the University's program in public admin- istration provided the necessary material for successful careers. Betty Lou Morris, member of a citizens advisory committee, told local chapter of the American Society for Public Administration that citizens advisory groups could be useful in local government. She noted that the urban renewal group with which she works had been successful in renaming urban renewal areas, naming three new streets and presenting ideas to the local government on the financing of the city's park and the solicitation of a community college to the area.
