Rep. James F. Warner (R-Ypsilanti) introduced the package of resolutions to allow state universities and colleges to build self-liquidat- ing student facilities. The University's self-liquidating project would cost $3 million, but would be financed through revenue bonds based on charges to students who use the structing living units facilities.) may also b REP. JAMES F. WARNER ...residence changes HOUSING: ACLU Sets Suggestions By MICHAEL SATTINGER, AND WILLIAM BENOIT In a recent letter to Mayor Cecil 0. Creal, (R), the Ann Arbor- Washtenaw County branch of the American Civil Liberties Union criticized and suggested amend- ments for the proposed fair hous- ing ordinance. T h e AC LU communication urges that the section pertaining to discrimination by financial in- stitutions be retained. Creal had called for the removal of the section on the grounds That he had never encountered discrimination by a financial in- stitution. He termed the section "just a harassment." The communication also urges retaining intact the portion which details the injunction procedure. Under the proposal as it now stands the city attorney, after having a complaint referred to him from the Human Relations Commission, may seek an injunc- tion from the circuit court. To Decide ACLU believes that the court should be the body to decide the termination of injun'ltion action' Prof. Nicholas D. Kavarinoff of the math department and secre- tary of the local ACLU branch, said, last night. However, ACLU also advocates the inclusion of an "explicit state- ment that upon fair notice a hearing be given a person alleged to have violated this ordinance, and that due process be accorded the accused- and the complainant." Due process would provide for legal counsel and the right to face one's accusor, Prof. Kazarin- off said. Housing Units ACLU further reconnends that a multiple housing accommoda- tion be redefined to include all dwellings containing three or more housing units. The present proposal sets five as {the number of units which would ;form a mul- tiple housing accommnodation. Thehreasons given by ACLUfor the change are that substantially more housing outside of the cen- tral area would then be included and that three is the number used to define multiple housing ac- commodations in the city zoning ordinance. Lastly, ACLU recommends that "a section be added which would specifically- prohibit discrimina- tion by all real estate agents In the buying, selling and renting of property." First - ward Democratic city councilman Lynn W. Eley said last night at a meeting of Ann Arbor Democrats that a fair housing ordinance will be passed. Significant Step "We would probably amend Federal funds available for con- e used. The down-payment will ome from the general housing funds, Vice-President of Student Affairs James A. Lewis has said. The co-educational living cen- ter without internal eating facili- ties, now in the early planning stages, will house a total of about 500 upper-class, graduate and for- eign students who do not want to have their meals included in their bill, he commented. The center will include\several small buildings which will offer small unit living with mostly sin- gle and double rooms, he noted. A cafeteria will be built nearby to provide access to meals for all students and faculty living or working at the North Campus. Lewis had explained that Burs- ley Hall would not be built because undergraduate enrollment has not grown very much over the past four years and there is no need for large type housing. He added in a discussion in January that plans for the hall had been com- pleted and if a need for such hous- ing arises the plans for it will be pulled out and used. The plans for this student hous- ing project, developed in Janu- ary, after the University decided not to build Bursley Hall at North Campus, a proposed large, co- educational residence hall. Earlier in' the year Vice-Presi- dent Lewis indicated that flexibil- ity and variety would be, factors taken into consideration in the building of the project. Early plans call for 100 singles, 100 suites having a study and a bedroom for two people and 100 doubles. Washrooms v rill be locat- ed between the rooms. There will be a large main lounge with semi- private areas. Telephone service will be provided in every room. Short corridors, a minimum number of floors and terraces may be incorporated into the struc- tures. There will be apartment facili- ties for the manager-director and laundry facilities in each housing unit. Vice-President Lewis has pre- dicted that the project would be completed by the fall of 1965. Parking facilities and possible air conditioning are being consid- ered. Stand Firm, ,on Walk-Out PARIS (P) - Despite growing labor unrest, President Charles de Gaulle's government refused to give ground last night to 200,000 striking coal miners. But it raised no new threats to break the week-long walkout. Premier Georges Pompidou in a nationwide radio-television ad- dress offered no olive branches, however, and repeated the govern- ment's position: no negotiations until the miners return to the pits. . The miners have said they won't go back to work until ne- gotiations start. Presents Merger Proposal By RUTH HETMANSKI The Michigan Union-Women's League Study Committee yesterday accepted, with revisions, a rec- ommendation from its drafting committee embodying pronosals for a merger between the Union and the League. \, This document was the first paper coming from the study com- mittee to present a unified stand on, the merger issue. While the paper does not represent the com- mittee's final decision on the mer- ger question, it is the first work- ing draft of a recommendation that will find its way, in a much revised form, to the governing boards of the Union and League. Approval by these groups would mean a substantial step towards actual establishment of a Union- League merger, as proposed in the recommendation. The recommendation will be presented in its revised form to the Unfoi oard on March 14. Wo- men's League president Margaret Skiles, '63, also attended this board meeting as a representative of the League. On Tuesday, March 21, Union president Robert Finke, '63, and other committee members from the Union will meet with the League Board to present the ten- tative recommendation for the comment of each board. In part, the recommendation states that "it is the essential recommendation of the committee that the Union and the League and their facilities become one organization." It sets up a Stu- dent Activities Committee com- posed of four senior offiders and eight committee chairman, solely responsible for the planning and programming of student activities for the new organization. Financ- ing is suggested by allocated reve- nues from the governing board of the merged organization. This Stu- dent Activities Committee would cooperate with the Office of Stu- dent Affairs to establish an ail- campus committee to "calendar, oversee, and administer the ac- tivities of student organizations." Fereney Hits At Michigan Government + Democratic State Central Com- mittee chairman Zolton A. Fer- ency, speaking at a meeting of Ann Arbor Democrats, hit whak he termed "dragging feet" in Michigan government. He noted that "many important projects have been made to wait by Gov. George Romney, includ- ing an expanded mental health program, an improved medical aid bill, increased aid to higher edu- cation and a plan for much-need- ed fiscal reform in our state. "The governor does not under- stand the role and function of government in society," Ferency said. "He only backs those bills likely to succeed in the Legisla- ture, an attitude typical of a salesman." As support for his views, the Wayne county Democrat cited the govern-r's "mis - handling" of' Michigan State University approp- riations. There are no earmarked funds for education in Michigan as some people have maintained, Ferency said. He noted "a potentially dan- gerous situation" in that money for state schools was entirely in the hands of the Legislature. raqis Groups Cite ProwNassar Sentiments Premier Asks Asylum In Turkish Embassy BEIRUT ()-Army rebels claim- last night they won control of Syria "without a drop of blood- shed" after a sunrise coup. But reports of fighting persisted andJ Iraq's own revolutionary regime sent troops to the border to sup- port the Syrian uprising. Waves of fear and uncertainty swept the Middle East as this up- rising followed by only 28 days the bloody revolution in Iraq. Both revolutions professed support of President Gamal Abdel Nasser of the United Arab Repubic and called for Arab unity. But UAR officials in Cairo were cautious, mindful that old enemiest made when Syria and Egypt were united ir the United Arab Repub- lic might have had a nand in the uprising in Damascus. Iraqi Regime Cairo joined the Iraqi regime, however, in warning outside na- tions to keep hands off the Syrian revolution. Their warnings were obviously aimed at Israel, whose army fac- ing Syria was reported on thet alert, and monarchist Jordan.a The cabinet of Jordan, uneasyt about what appeared to be suc- cesses of pro-Nasser factions in Syria and Iraq in a short span of four weeks, held an emergency session. King Hussein presided. Af-.S terward Premier Nasfi Tell said he considered the Syrian revolt an internal affair.I Stormy Seasl Premier Khaled El Azem, who tried to steeer a middle, compro- mising course in the stormy seas of Syrian politics, tok refuge in the Turkish embassy in Damascus, officials in Ankara said. Thus he possibly escaped the fate of Iraqit Premier Abdel Karim Kassem, whot was executed by the rebels in Baghdad. Syrian borders were sealed and international communications blocked. While Damascus radiot proclaimed victory, diplomatic re-t ports indicated there was at least some resistance.1 Resistance to the revolt could be expected from inside Syria's army. Powerful army units staged the1 uprising of September of 1961, de- nounced Nasser, and took Syria< out of the UAR partnership. Bus Drivers Dispute Wages Seven full-time City Bus Co. drivers will meet at Union Hall at 3080 Platt Rd. at 11 a.m. todayz to vote on whether to declare a strike against City Bus over wagest and hours it was disclosed yester-t day. If a strike vote is agreed upon, City Bus will have until next Fri-E day to negotiate a contract withi Teamsters Union Local 24. Mayor Cecil 0. Creal said yes-, terday that "everything possibleI will be done to prevent the cur-, tailment of bus service which is vitally needed by so many people. If there is a possibility of a strike, we will explore every avenue tot see that fair negotiations get un-t derway," he said.E *' OSA Decides * * * * To Authority onii Dress Rules Support Syrian Revolt * Hits Failure To Educate On Morals By DAVID MARCUS Internal pressures are the major factor in preventing the secular university from teaching moral values, John J. Meng, president of Hunter College, said last night. Speaking before the Newman Club as a part of its "Catholic Voices" lecture series, Meng ex- plored the subject of "Is the Secular University Censored from Teaching Moral Values." It is the academic ideal itself, which promotes a scholarly skep- ticism in all areas, that prevents the academician from accepting and promoting any sort of absolute values, Meng said. Absolute Truth Citing the example of his own experience as a historian, Meng said, "My colleagues sometimes questioned how I could reject the notion of absolute truth in deal- ing with the Revolutionary War period and at the same time be- lieve in absolute moral values." This skepticism, which promotes a disbelief in absolutes, does not in itself constitute censorship. "Censorship involves conscious coercion," Meng pointed out. In the case of moral values rot being taught in colleges and universities, the pressure against doing so is not a matter of such corecion, he added. Two Results However, the pressure has had two results in the make up of the academic community. First, the 'academic world is largely in the hands of material- ists. Second, those professors with strong religious and moral be- liefs shy away from teaching them in the classroom in fear of being charged with indoctrination. Another aspect of the problem is that one "cannot have absolute moral values without religion," Meng said. This means that any exploration of moral values in in- stitutions of higher education without a corollary exploration of theological questions, Meng said. Public Funds Most restrictions on teaching moral values come in the form of laws saying that public institu- tions cannot use public funds to teach the tenets of any particular denomination, Meng said. However, religious questions could be explored without advocat- ing the dogma of any particular religion, he said. Public univer- sities could overcome any public pressure by using the doctrine of academic freedom, he added. Meng also noted that in general, "university and college executives are more likely to be bewailing the lack of moral values than trying to exclude them from the curricula." DRESS REGULATIONS - Vice-President for Student Affairs James A. Lewis and Mrs. Elizabeth Davenport, assistant to the vice-president for student affairs, took action last night con- cerning the proposed changes in dress regulations at Alice Lloyd. EUROPEAN: Kohnstamm Sees Need For Open Community By H. NEIL BERKSON Daily Correspondent * Retain * CHICAGO-"Only a European Community open to those who ire willing to join on the same basis, accepting the same rules and com- mon institutions, can change Europe from a firetrap into an influ- ence for peace,".Max Kohnstamm, vice-president of the Action Com- mittee for the United States of Europe, told the closing session of the 18th National Conference on' Higher Education Wednesday. The Action Committee, formed in 1955 under the leadership of Jean Monnet, is sponsored by most of the Common Market political parties and trade unions. It seeks to formulate new ideas and pro- posals to further the concept of European unity. Without mentioning French President Charles de Gaulle by name, Kohnstamm made clear that he thinks the negotiations over British entry to the Common Market broke down due to "a fundamental difference in view about what is the essence of the Community" and "about the role a united Europe should play in our world." Back to the Jungle "Where are we going," he asked, "to a Community which is a proc- ess of bringing peoples and na- tions together in order to adapt themselves, jointly to changing circumstances, to a world of inter- dependence-or back to the jungle of sovereign states, with states maybe bigger, but certainly not better than before?" Tracing the history of Europe which gave rise to the Common Market, Kohnstamm said that aft- er World War II "there was a strong feeling that the old struc- ture was just not good enough any more, that new forms had to be found which would make a repeti- tion of what had happened twice in one generation impossible." He praised the Marshall Plan and America's constant insistence on a "large, integrated European mar- ket." Britain was not as profoundly affected by the war to reverse her traditional European policy of aloofness, he said. Moved Slowly He further indicated that when Britain finally did see the need to join Europe it moved too slow- ly. "Had there been more speed, less attention to economic detail and more explanation of the fun- damental political facts, things might have gone differently." Students Start Letter Writing About 200 students are starting a letter-writin campaign to eect Added New Amendm ents To Changes Davenport Says May Continue Negotiations For Final Authority By MICHAEL'IWEIG The Office of Student Affairs has decided ,to retain final au- thority on all dress regulation changes while imposing amend- ments to the new regulations re- cently adopted by the residents of Alice Lloyd Hall. Vice-President for Student Af- fairs James A. Lewis said last night that the OSA "is retaining the authority previously vested in the office of the Dean of Women." Assistant to the Vice-President for Student Affairs Elizabeth Dav- enport said that OSA officials and members of Assembly House Coun- cil will continue negotiations which may place final authority for dress regulations with AMC. Authority The question of authority vested in the individual residence halls did not enter the talks between the OSA and Lloyd residents, she added. "We were trying to get a workable set of rules for the wo- men of Alice Lloyd, and consider- ed only the details of the propos- ed regulation changes." Alice Lloyd President Marion Jackson, '63, expressed "satisfac- tion" with the "compromise" on the final version of the new dress regulations. "It is a step forward, but we could have liked fial authority on the question," she said. Miss Jackson explained that all dress regulations are based on two criteria convenience for the resi- dents and consideration for t e public and other residents. "The changes in our. proposals were based on public consideration, and while they represent inconven- ience to the women, I understand why the OSA insisted on them," she said. Two of Five The OSA agreed inefull to two of five proposed changes, niodi- fied the other three, and explicitly forbade appearance in bare feet in any public area although the women had made no request for such permission, Miss Jackson in- dicated. The women had asked that blue jeans and sweatshirts be allowed as dress to breakfast and lunch every day. The OSA change allows such dress on Saturday only. The women had asked permis- sion to wear curlers in the public areas of the main* floor "so that they could pick up mail, and get change, at the main desk," but the OSA limited appearance in curlers to Saturday morning, Miss Jackson explained. Blue jeans may be worn in that area only Satur- day morning, although the women had asked for permission for every day. Abrams Asks Vote Reforms Student Government Council member Howard Abrams, '63, seeking re-election to Council next week, has strongly recom- mended campus wide election of the officers of the Michigan Un- ion and the Women's League. He cited this solution as an answer to the problem raised by the Union Board of Directors in allowing the official publication Union Reports to print editorial views., If the officers were elected democratically, then there would be less objection to the Union participating in politics and using student money for it, he ex- plained. PROTEST ALLOWED: MJ Wins Share of Big Ten Track Title MAX KOHNSTAMM ... European community STUDENTS: AAUP Urges New Interest In violations special To The Daily CHICAGO -- The American Association of University Pro- fessors is taking a new and strong interest in university violations of student rights, accoruing to Prof. David Fellman of the University of Wisconsin, chairman of' the AAUP committee on violations of academic freedom and tenure. Prof. Fellman, in an iiiterview at the 18th National Conference on Higher Education, explained that AAUP has established a spe- cial committee to deal with stu- dent problems. "I made the mo- tion at our convention two years ago, because I found my own com- mittee just didn't have the time to deal with all the incidents which arose. Many cases grew out of the disclaimer affidavit formerly in the National Defense Education Act, he said ."Further, I was con- cerned with a number of disci- plinary cases where students faced both improper procedures and punishments." 4 By CHARLIE TOWLE Michigan was awarded a share of the Big Ten Indoor Track Championship on a rare protest- ed finish yesterday. Acting on the evidence of a Daily photograph, track Coach Don Canham entered and won a protest of the judges decision in the 60-yd. dash. As a result, Ken Burnley of the Michigan thinclads placed fourth and the track team gained two points to tie the Iowa team 43-43. Previously the Wol- verine sprinter had been placed sixth and Michigan second.
