NCATE lo Inspect Education School Programs By ELLEN SILVERMAN and DAVID MARCUS The highly controversial National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education is coming to the University. The group, due to visit the education school in March of next year, hag refused to accredit more schools than it has approved in recent years. Among the institutions doing without NCATE's (pronounced En-kate) approval is the University of Wisconsin. Other institutions such as the University of Illinois only have provisional accreditation. NCATE claims to be an autonomous organization of a voluntary nature whose purpose is "to improve teacher education through accreditation," according to its own standards and guides report. Raise Standards Formed in 1952, the organization has close ties with the National Education Association. One of the major objectives in forming NCATE was to supplant the myriad of teacher accredita- tion agencies with a single' agency that hopefully could raise standards in the field. Every school awaiting accreditation must submit a voluminous report to the agency covering matters such as faculty qualifica- tions, curricula, objectives, organization and administration of programs, facilities and instructional materials and professional laboratory experience for school personnel which includes student teaching. Once the report is submitted, the organization sends a panel to inspect the school's facilities and look over its programs first- hand. Following this, an administrative board evaluates the program and decides whether or not to accredit. Mandatory Requirement Despite NCATE's voluntary nature, its approval has become more and more of a mandatory requirement. In 28 states NCATE accreditation means automatic certification to teach. Other states will not grant teaching certificates to graduates of schools not approved by NCATE. Iowa, for example, has in- formed the University of Wisconsin that its graduates will not be able to obtain Iowa certification until they have completed six hours of graduate work in Iowa-approved institutions. At Wisconsin, NCATE disapproved of the fact that every faculty member who had anything to do with the training of teachers, regardless of his academic specialty, was allowed a vote on the education faculty. The group also was not pleased by Wis- consin's education school plant. NCATE offered Wisconsin provisional accreditation. But Wis- consin's education school faculty voted "no confidence" in NCATE and decided to do without its approval. Control of Teachers Dean Lindley J. Steiles of Wisconsin's education school claimed that "this is the battle of the century on the fundamental issue of who is going to control the education of America's teach- ers and ultimately the kind and quality of education in our schools." NCATE dropped in on Carleton College in 1960. Carleton is a small liberal arts college which had 1,175 students and a faculty of 103, 64 per cent of whom had doctorates at the time of the visit. NCATE's Committee on Visitation and Appraisal rejected Carleton on the grounds that, among other things, the education courses were too theoretical, the students did not have enough profes- sional laboratory experience and there was no formal procedure to screen out students with emotional or personality problems. Carleton appealed to NCATE's Appeals Board in 1962 and was awarded full accreditation. A major problem in both the Carleton and Wisconsin cases is that NCATE seems to be more geared to the small, exclusively teacher-training colleges than to large institutions or liberal arts- oriented universities. Assistant Dean Charles F. Lehmann of the education school expressed certainty that the University would get its accreditation from NCATE. "We would be surprised if they didn't accredit us," Dean Lehmann, who is supervising the University's preparations for NCATE's visit, said. Diversity of Programs Although NCATE seems to want one rigid teacher training program, "we won't apologize for the diversity of our programs. This is one of the best features of the University," he said. Dean Lehmann also noted that he thought NCATE "is going to get better despite the Wisconsin and Carleton incidents."

LXXIII, No. 110 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1963 SEVEN CENTS EIGHT PAGES PROPOSED CHANGE: Bourland Supports TQC Amendment By MICHAEL ZWEIG Inter-Quadrangle Council President Kent Bourland, '63, last night voiced support for a proposed IQC constitutional amendment which would allow sophomores to run for the office of president of IQC. The amendment originated in Strauss House, East Quad, last De- cember and is still to be brought before several house councils for con- sideration. Bourland said that "it is notable the other major men's ' Could Get Medical Building Aid KENT BOURLAND ... supports amendment DYING? : Greeks Rap Look Article By BURTON MICHAELS University fraternity men con- demned a series of articles in the March 12 issue of Look magazine which criticizes the American fra- ternity system.. "The articles speak of a fratern- ity system which is going out," Inter-Fraternity Council President John P. Meyerholz, '63BAd, said. "The fraternity which does not place primary emphasis on the intellectual development of the in- dividual cannot survive. Fraterni- ties here are changing." One of the Look articles, "The Perils of Big Brotherhood," focus- es on the life of a Phi Gamma Delta pledge at the University of Illinois. The pledge felt that "he must view nearly every move he makes-from taking a test to get- ting a date-in light of what it does 'for the house'." Conformity, Discipline The Illinois Fiji pledge manual admits that the fraternity de- mands "confornity and disci- pline." The article added that the pledge "is watched closely, must accept regulation of his life and must exist not as an individual but as a little unit of a big team." Look commented that "a pledge must admit that individual action is selfish and unhealthy" and that "the fraternity cuts them off from 'activities.' Countering these charges, Mey- erholz said that "a fraternity is a group of individuals, with broad objectives as to the betterment of their house. And though they may be stimulated to act out of interest for the house, they nevertheless contribute as individuals." Living Together Junior Inter-Fraternity Council President John P. Rutherford, '64, doubts "that anything as formal- ized as weekly reports exist." Rutherford noted that "pledges organizations on campus do not have a class-standing restriction for senior officer positions in their constitutions. "Democratization of IQC de- mands that no artificial qualifica- tions bar residents of the quad- rangle system from attaining posi- tions for which they are otherwise qualified. I therefore encourage all house councils to pass this amend- ment," he emphasized. Letters of Support Bourland indicated that letters will be sent to house presidents urging their support of the amend- ment in action by their councils. If the amendment passes, any sophomore quad resident with one year's experience in resident ad- ministration at any level above and including house president would be eligible to run for IQC president. The present constitu- tion limits candidates to juniors and seniors. Strauss House President Jeffrey Fortune, '64, one of the original authors of the amendment, wel- comed Bourland's support. The ac- tion "will definitely help the chances" of passage, he said. Needs Councils Support In order to pass, 16 of the 23 quadrangle house councils must approve the amendment. To this date, 13 have supported it, two have rejected it, and the remain- ing councils have yet to debate the issue, Fortune explained. "Bourland's action in support of this matter may be the beginnings of an increasingly effective and active role of the quadrangle sys- tem in University affairs," For- tune said. A first step is the ac- tive participation of IQC officers in quad issues, he noted. Name Romney For Dedication Gov, George Romney will dedi- cate the new Federal-Mogul re- search laboratory at 5:30 p.m. today in Ann Arbor's new Research Park. Romney will be the main speak- er at the annual city Chamber of Commerce dinner and meeting at 6:30 p.m. in the Michigan Union following the dedication.; University President H a r I a n Hatcher, Mayor Cecil O. Creal, Guy S. Peppiatt, president of Fed- eral-Mogul, and Chamber of Com- merce President Joseph B. Foster will also participate in the cere- monies.+ Allen Notes Possibility Of'Change' OGrant Could Replace A&D Construction By CARL COHEN "It is still possible that the Uni- versity will get planning funds for the Medical Science Unit, instead of the new Architecture and De- sign Bldg. recommended in Gov. George Romney's "quick action" budget," State Controller Glen Allen said last night. The Legislature is accustomed to making "switches and changes," he said. "When Romney's recom- mendations come up in the Senate, the Univeristy will have another chance to convince the legislators to make a change." It is therefore not a "totally lost cause," Allen explained. "When the University's list came to us, it seemed like the A&D Bldg. was first, but later a change was made," he declared. The top three items presented to us were of "approximately equal priority." First Priority However, Vice - President for Business and Finance Wilbur K. Pierpont emphasized at Friday's Regents meeting that Medical Science Unit II was clearly first on the University's priority for capital outlay requests. When the A&D appropriation appeared on the "quick action" budget, and the Medical Science Unit was omitted, University of-+ ficials expressed surprise but de-+ cided to wait for an explanation before "getting excited." na The University has been trying to get planning funds for the+ medical building for the past 10+ years, but the need for a new A&Da structure is a recent development. The prime consideration for the decision was the $4 million differ- ence between the estimated cost of the A&D project of approxi- mately $6 million and that of the, Medical Science Unit II, aboutj $10 million, he said. Saleable PackageI Another point that came under consideration is that if the Uni- versity recommended more moneyI for itself, "Michigan State andI the others would have demanded more," and the Legislature wouldI have been "forced to raise all of them." "We tried to present a saleable package," Allen stated. 1 This recommendaiton repre- sented an attempt to "speed upI the whole building program,". he explained. Within a week to ten days, the rest of the budget ree-I ommendations for capital outlay will be announced, and then, "Ann Arbor will get,more money," Allenx concluded.e * * * * * * * Panhel May Revise Procedures hi in Future To Permit Fall Rus * MAJORITY DECISION: Supreme Court Frees Negroes WASHINGTON (P)-The Su- preme Court ruled yesterday that 187 Negroes were convicted un- justly on breach of the peace charges filed after they demon- strated on South Carolina's capi- tol grounds against racial segrega- tion. The reversal of the conviction means the Negroes cannot ba tried again in the 1961 case. All have been free on bail. The tribunal mentioned ,ome specific situations where police can break up demonst~rations but To Demand Consultation In the wake of the 'fair hous- ing' melee, Student Government Council tomorrow night will re- ceive a recommendation that its Human Relations Board and otherrelated units consult with SGC's Executive Board or the entire Council "before embarking on a course of action which will associate SGC with a public con- troversy." The executive board, composed of SGC's four officers, last night drafted a statement expressing "regret" at the HRB's failure to engage in such consultation before its recent picketing activities, but urged SGC to "reaffirm ist sup- port of fair housing legislation in Ann Arbor." The executive board also de- plored "the fact that University President Harlan Hatcher has not taken a firm stand to further this goal," but also claimed that HRB's demonstration for such a public statement "was widely interpreted to be initiated by SGC," when, in fact, Council disavoweded its sup- port. Meanwhile, Joseph Chabot, '65, announced yesterday that he is no longer a candidate for SGC. SGC announced that petitioning for senior class officers in the engi- neering college has been re-open- ed until 5 p.m. tomorrow. said the circumstances in this case were different. Thus, it did not appear to set any new rule of how far police may go in pre- serving order. Lone Dissenter The lone dissenter in the eight to one decision, Justice Tom C. Clark, put a broad interpretation on the majority's ruling. "To say that the police may not intervene until the riot has occurred is like keeping out the doctors until the patient dies. I cannot subscribe to such a doctrine," he explained. Justice Potter Stewart, speaking for the majority, said South Car- olina infringed on the Negroes' "constitutionally protected rights of free speech, free assembly and freedom to petition for redress of their grievances." "They were convicted on evi- dence which showed no more than that the opinions which they were peaceably expressing were suffi- ciently opposed to the views of the majority of the community to attract a crowd and rnecessitate police protection," Stewart said. Fourteenth Amendment "The 14th amendment does not permit a state to make criminal the peaceful expression of un- popular views." Clark agreed that the Negroes had a right to peaceful assembly to expouse their cause ard to petition. "But in my view, the manner in which they exercised those rights was by no means the passive demonstration which this court relates: rather, as the city man- ager of Columbia testified, 'a dan- gerous situation was building up' which South Carolina's courts ex- pressly found had created 'an ac- tual interference with traffic and an imminently threatened dis- turbance of the peace of the com- munity'," he noted. Protest Laws The Negroes, all college and high school students, marched in groups to the capitol in Columbia on March 2, 1961 to protest laws which they said discriminated against them. The 30 or so police on hand told them they could march on the capitol grounds so long as they were peaceful. "There was no evidence to sug- gest that these onlookers were anything but curious and no evi- dence at all of any threatening remarks, hostile gestures, or of- fensive language on the part of any member of the crowd. " . . there was no obstruction of pe- destrian or vehicular traffic with- in the state house grounds," Stewart said. Under these circumstances, he, said, police advised the Negroes they would be arrested if they did not disperse within 15 minutes. Instead of complying, he said, they "engaged in what the city manager described as 'boisterous,' 'loud' and 'flamboyant' conduct." The official said later, Stewart went on, that this consisted of listening to a "religious harangue" by one of their leaders and loudly singing "The Star Spangled Ban- ner" and clappingtheir hands. After the 15 minutes were up, the Negroes were arrested. Later they were convicted and received sentences ranging from $10 fine and five days in" jail to a $100 fine or 30 days in jail. Representative Introduces Bill On Wage-Hour By The Associated Press LANSING--A bill proposing a $1 minimum hourly wage for cer- tain workers was introduced in the House yesterday with bipartisan legislative backing and the sup- port of Gov. George Romney, whose staff helped draft the meas- ure. Sponsored by Rep. William Doorn (R-Grand Rapids), the bill is designed chiefly for service and retail store employes, but has aj long list of exemptions which in- cludes students holding part-time jobs. A minimum wage enactment has been one of the governor's goals for the 1963 legislative session. Exceptions The state labor commissioner, who would administer the law, would be empowered to set wages below the $1 hourly standard for a p p r e n t i c e s and handicapped workers. Other exemptions include farm workers, domestic help, seasonal resort employes and persons en- gaged in educational, charitable, religious or nonprofit organiza- CECIL O. CREAL ... suggests removal May Or Hits Race Clause By MICHAEL SATTINGER Mayor Cecil O. Creal suggested removal of an article concerning discrimination by financial insti- tutions from a proposed Human Relations Commission fair hous- ing ordinance last night at the Ann Arbor City Council work session. Creal said that he had never encountered any discrimination by financial institutions. The article would be "just a harrassment." Also, if a person were turned down for a loan, he might wrongly see the cause as discrimination, whereas the real reason might be lack of security, he claimed. He suggested adding two new sections to the ordinance. The first would provide recourse for a defendant in discrimination pro- ceedings against any accusor who has brought action falsely. Injunctive Relief The second would allow an in- junctive relief with a cutoff in the time a defendant engaged in dis- crimination proceedings would be prevented from renting cr selling the property in question. Creal explained that the time between an injunction by the cir- cuit court and court action on a case could cost the defendant in the proceedings a great deal of money. However, it was pointed out that the ordinance is of a "no-fight" nature, with those involved usually choosing conciliation rather than the expense of being taken to court. An interpretation presented dur- ing the consideration of the fair housing ordinance was that pub- licly-assisted housing applies to units having government-secured loans received after the ordinance is accepted..

For Houses This Year By MARY LOU BUTCHER After considering the results of the recently-ended sorority rush and pledging, Panhellenic Associa- tion within three weeks will prob- ably recommend a revision in the rush program-perhaps adding on a fall rush-Panhel President Ann McMillan, '63, predicted yesterday. Although onrthe whole more women pledged this spring than last, some of the houses are ,not yet filled to capacity, Miss McMil- lan said. She will meet today with several chapter presidents and Associate Director of Student Organizations for Sororities Elizabeth A. Leslie to discuss the situation. Less Successful "SpringI rush has not been as successful as fall rush," Mrs. Les- lie commented. She pointed out, however, that fall rush couldn't be used next fall, due to adminis- trative difficulties. "I am sure Panhel is not and has not been happy with the rigid rush rules and would like to make them more flexible," Mrs. Leslie said. Miss McMillan said that if fall rush is implemented in the future, it may be either the major or minor rush of the year. "If fall rush is the major rush, everyone including freshmen women would be able to rush. Residence Requirement "If spring rush is the major rush, everyone who rushes in the fall will have had to be at the University for at least one semes- ter," she said. Miss McMillan said that the "great advantages of fall rush is that women have a much longer pledge period." She noted that the fall rushing system was practiced at the Uni- versity from 1952-57 and was suc- cessful. When Panhellenic Asso- ciation tried spring rush as the result of a student government vote in 1957, a motion to return to fall rush in 1958 was defeated by Council. Needs Approval Miss McMillan said that to re- turn to fall rush, Panhellenic As- sociation would first have to se- cure the approval of Assembly Association and SGC. Miss McMillan also noted that the fact that senior women have automatic apartment permission had relatively littleeffect on the Student Charges Racial Bias in Bulgaria (EDITOR'S NOTE-Dozens of African students have fled Communist\ Bulgaria in protest against racial discrimination.
