oss, Stockmeyer Predict By GLORIA BOWLES The veterans of student government at the University, liberal leader Robert Ross, '63, and moderate Steven Stockmeyer, '63, current president of Student Government Council both predicted a liberal victory in Wednesday's elections. Stockmeyer, who sees "a good chance that liberals will get a majority on ;Council," cited the electoral campaign of three Coun- cil incumbents on the liberal side as a reason for the probable liberal victory. Incumbents seeking seats are Kenneth Miller, '64, Howard Abrams, '63, and Bary Beth Norton, '64. "Incumbents always have the edge in publicity and knowledge," noted Stockmeyer, who also saw the "good campaign" conducted by the liberals as a major factor in the predicted liberal edge. Stockmeyer noted that conservatives and moderates who have held a Council majority "have had nothing to be disturbed about and thus failed to arouse interest in their candidates." Conservative Candidates Stockmeyer said it would have been "desirable" for the moderates to organize. He thinks conservative candidates are "potentially as good" as the liberals, but less experienced, and not as well informed. Ross, on the other hand, asserting that moderates support "candidates far less able than those the liberals endorse," pointed to the liberal political party Voice which formulates a platform and encourages informed candidates. He also noted -that the campaign accentuated liberal issues, "because the liberals have brought issues before the campus. The moderates have not introduced a single new issue, a single sub- stantive issue but only reacted to the proposals of the liberals," he added. Important Election Ross, predicting election of at least four of the five candidates endorsed by the liberal Voice political party, called this election important because of the probable change in the political align- ments of Council. The retiring leader sees the liberals facing a "test," as they will have a majority to pass and implement those programs they have advocated in platform statements. Ross also thinks the future of student government at the University will hinge on the success of liberals to implement their programs. A moderately-dominated Council, Ross noted, has not asked for basic changes in Council structure and power; a liberal failure to carry out changes aimed at increasing the effectiveness of studen value of s Both issues elei Wednesda "well rout campaign cil."

He said that ction or a personality contest. Ross, however, termed the liberals were not dealing in "practical realities when they summon ty voting an "organizational election," pointing to the high democratic philosophic principles in advocating a restructur- nded Voice slate and asserting that "there is no better ing of Council." A Council without ex-officios would make it dif- organization on the campus than Interfraternity Coun- ficult for Council to "keep the little condifence" it now has with the student body, Stockmeyer said. Stockmeyer also fears admin- meyer disagrees, lamenting what he sees as a lack of istrative dissatisfaction with current proposals to bar ex-officios organizational efforts and asserting that "when the from Council. fraternity and sorority system wakes up to the liberal attitudes regarding membership selection and the Harris report," they may no longer be "nonchalant and apathetic." Both Stockmeyer and Ross predicted more "yes" votes than "no" votes on the referendum question, which declares that "all Council candidates should be popularly elected." However, they also predict that the vote will not be sufficient to constitute an expression of student opinion. Referendum Vote In order to pass, the referendum must be supported by seventy- five per cent of the students voting in the regular election, or by 3000 voters, whichever is larger. First Ballot Both Stockmeyer and Ross predicted that no candidate would be elected on the first ballot and both called the Wednesday election "important." "Council is going to have to show a sense of maturity," noted Stockmeyer. He thinks that the "irresponsible liberal implementa- tion of liberal programs" may find student government fighting for survival in several years. Ross, on the other hand, sees the election as a turning point for liberal political forces- who will probably have a Council majority for the first time in recent history, and be given the opportunity to effect new policies and programs.

James Roosevelt (D-Calif) predicted Sunday that the House Committee on Un-American Activities will be abolish- ed "sometime-and I can't say when." Abolition will come when the American people understand the basic issue-individual rights-and when HUAC chairman Francis E. 0 Walter (D-Pa) retires, Roosevelt Mrs. Burns's motions call for coverage of non-multiple housing accommodations by the financial institution discrimination section and refusal by the city to grant building permits or utility services to builders who refuse to sign a non-discrimination guarantee. Real Estate Broker She also seeks to make unlaw- ful discrimination by real estate brokers or by residential builders or developers. In similar action, second ward Republican. Councilman William Bandemer moved that the section on financial discrimination be sim- plified to include only the grant- ing of financial assistance. The detailing of financial operations is redundant, he said. The council also filed comment from various organizations con- cerned with fair housing legisla- tion. Recommend Changes In a communication to the council, the Committee for Hous- ing Legislation recommended that multiple housing accomodations be defined to include three or more units or lots, whether or not contiguous, under the control or ownership of any person. The committee also called for coverage of real estate brokers,. builders and advertiser advertising and retention of the injunction and financial institution sections. In other action the council au- thorized an engineering contract for the improvement of Fu'.ler Rd. and Glen, which lead to the North Campus. Voice Defends Endorsement Joseph Chabot, '63, chairman of Voice political party, defended charges that Voice had endorsed a candidate for president of the literary college without notifying the other candidates. Robert Flaxmann, '64, a candi- date for LSA president, charged that Voice endorsed Roger Low- enstein, '64, without giving other candidates a chance to appear. Chabot said that Voice's pri- mary obligation was to its plat- form and it was up to individual candidates to come seeking sup- port. There were several meetings at which literary school candi- dates could have spoken, he said, and Lowenstein was the only one to take advantage of the oppor- tunity. Henninas Says Policy To Yield Independence The aim of the British colonial policy is to lead countries to self- government u n d e r conditions which will assure their people a reasonable standard of living, John D. Hennings, attache for colonial affairs at the British Embassy in Washington, D.C., said. He added that the British "hold disdain for target dates for in- dependence." He asserted that the stimulus of the British toward independ- ence of colonies has been "hu- manitarian" since the slave trade days. "Colonization has never been wholly altruistic, nor wholly selfish." "A frightening gap separates the African standard of living from that of advanced societies," he said. Many African leaders are west- ern-educated and are ambivalent to the West. Hennings encourages nonalignment. "They have yet to learn that the best foreign policy is self-interest." Detail Support Of Candidates The International Students As- sociation and WCBN editorial com- mentators Robert Price, '64BAd, and Harry Doerr, '63, made separ- ate endorsements yesterday for candidates for Student Govern- ment Council. ISA endorsed Howard Abrams, '63; Michael Royer, '64; Kenneth Miller, '64; Henry Wallace, '64E; Edwin Sasaki, Grad, and Mary Beth Norton, '64. For Union Board JAMES A. LEWIS ... defines AHC role told the metropolitan Detroit chapter of the American Civil Lib- erties Union. Roosevelt, the oldest son of for- mer President Franklin D. Roose- velt, said he is "much encouraged" because "little by little the issue is getting understood." He noted that this has taken a great deal of perserverance by groups such as ACLU and that at times it has been "a lonely fight." Congressmen Hesitant He explained that congressmen are hesitant about abolishing' HUAC because it would be "a slap in the face" of Walter, an elderly man with much seniority, to remove him from chairman- ship of a standing committee of the House. The congressmen told the meet- ing that many representatives such as John Lindsay (R-NY) support- ed making HUAC a subcommittee of the House Judiciary Committee but would not vote against appro- priations for HUAC because they think this would damage "the im- age of the issue we. are fighting." Rooseveltsnoted, though, that the votes against appropriations have increased from six in 1961 to 22 this year (two were absent dur- ing the roll call two weeks ago). "We've got the fastest growing club in the United States," Roosevelt declared. Predicts Cautionj He predicted that HUAC will proceed "with the greatest cau- tion" now, and that the commit- tee will use its record $360,000 ap- propriation chiefly to reprint old materials. "I think they will try to avoid any controversial new hearings," Roosevelt said. He said that this year's con- gressional campaign to abolish HUAC had as its focus the point that HUAC violates both civil and economic rights, that it directly harms "many wholly patriotic, in- nocent people" by undercutting their freedoms of speech and as- sociation, and by putting their jobs in jeonardy. D irect AHC' 'Set Outline Of Wants' By MICHAEL ZWEIG Vice-President for Student Af- fairs James A. Lewis told Assem- bly House Council yesterday that it should list in writing the authority and power which it de- sires before negotiations are re- opened between the Office of Stu- dent Affairs and Assembly con- cerning the latter's role and posi- tion. Lewis was asked to attend the meeting to clarify the recent con- troversy centered around the Alice Lloyd Hall d r e s s regulation changes and Assembly's recent re- quest for a grant of authority. "I would not attempt to define the authority of Assembly with- out much more extensive discus- sion," Lewis said, but he com- mented on the past role and function of Assembly. "It has assumed responsibilities concerning the mechanics of women's housing. It has been a tremendous women's organization in the area of housing as an arm of the Dean of Women," Lewis explained. . "Now that the office of Dean of Women no longer exists, its responsibilities rest within the structure of the OSA, and Assem- bly and the residence hal'3 now relate to the OSA exactly as they once related to the dean of women. In acting on the dress regulations, the OSA assumed no power that it did not historically possess," Lewis asserted. Lewis indicated a hope of clari- fication of Assembly authority "this spring to go into effect next fall." Professors Discuss Merits of Constitution (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the second of two articles concerning a non-partisan analysis of major sections in the proposed state Constituiton.) By GERALD STORCH Furnishing a "balanced," impartial examination of the proposed State Constitution, seven faculty members in Michigan are attempting to "help the serious citizen make his decision" for the April 1 ballot. The professors on the Inter-University Faculty Committee on Constitutional Revision each took one section, evaluated it, discussed their appraisals with colleagues, then put together a final draft which is due to come out (at their own expense) in booklet form tomorrow. The committee was co-ordinated by Prof. Samuel J. Elders- veld of: the political science department. The professors and their section of analysis include: APPORTIONMENT - Norman Thomas of the political science department; CIVIL RIGHTS - Milton Greenberg of Western Michigan University; EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT-Robert L. Friedman of the political science department; FINANCE AND TAXATION - Daniel R. Fusfeld of the economics department and Dorothee S. Pealy of the Bureau of Hospital Administration; HIGHWAYS-Edgar Waugh of Eastern Michigan Univer- sity; JUDICIARY-Harold Spaeth of the University of Detroit; LOCAL GOVERNMENT-Arthur W. Bromage, chairman of the political science department. Apportionment This section forces a hard choice for the voter: "is it better to insist upon an ideal or to accept an imperfect improvement," Prof. Thomas declared. The "ideal" is actually any one of three accepted models of representation: strictly by population, primary emphasis on population while taking into account social and economic in- terests and geographic phenemona, or proportional representa- tion (which rejects the single-member district stystem). The apportionment article falls closest to the second theory, especially in the Senate. Here, the five most populous counties, containing 57.5 per cent of Michigan's citizenry, will have only 47.4 per cent of the senatorial representation, al- though this is a significant increase over the present figure The metropolitan areas would be guaranteed their full quota of seats set down in the constitution; furthermore, they would receive their seats before the smaller counties In the House, straight popular representation is more closely approximated, but is limited mainly by the requirement See PROFESSORS, Page 8 ROGER W. HEYNS ... scholarship criteria Reveal Plan For Airport The University plans to operate Willow Run as an independent airport after the six airlines based there move to Metropolitan Air- port. Industrial companies from the Detroit area have come to the field looking for hanger space and space to conduct research or lim- ited production which would meet the void after the airlines leave, Floyd Wakefield, University air- port supervisor, commented re- cently. Demand indications seem to show that Willow Run would not meet the fate of Chicago's Mid- way Airport, which has turned into a virtual ghost-town since the major airlines have moved to a new field, Vice-President for Business and Finance Wilbur I. Pierpont said. Six Airlines The six airlines now operating out of Willow Run are Trans World Airlines, United, Eastern. North Central, Lake Central and Mohawk lines. The companies will move their operations to Metropolitan be- cause of its closer location to De- troit and because of the more adequate facilities for jet aircraft The University bought the air- port land and .acilithes from the federal government for $1 after World War II. The Ford B-25 bomber plant, located on the field, was then deemed "surplus property." Part of PIrgain As part of the bai gain, the University had to agree to oper- ate and maintain the facilities as a public airport. If the University were to fail to do so, theoretically the govern- ment could reclam thefeld, Wakefield said. It will take about $250,000 to $300,000 annually to run the air- port at its present level. ' Reduction of Size Take Action Of Request Of aculty Expect To Release Statement of Policy 'During Semester' By RONALD WILTON The University is conducting a re-examination of its traditional policy of awarding scholarships on the basis of need rather than scholastic ability. Vice-President for Academic Af- fairs Roger W. Heyns explained that requests trom members of the mathematics department and several others had motivated the re-examination which "we have been thinking about for some time." He added that no committee has been formed to pursue the problem but various administrators are working on it and a policy state- ment will be forthcoming,"hope- fully sometime during the spring semester." Nationwide Problem The re-examination is a reflec- tion of a problem that is being debated all over the country, espe- cially by the College Scholarship Service of the College Entrance Examinations Board. Director of Admissions Clyde Vroman explained that the mem- bers of CSS had voluntarily agreed that the fundamental notion of need would help students best and should be adhered to. However, some well known insti- tutions and some "Johnny come lately institutions" have been go- ing out and recruiting some top incoming freshmen by offering them scholarships on the basis of scholastic ability whether there is need or not, he continued. A cademic Scholarships "Harvard and some other schools have traditionally allocated money for national academic scholarships and it is alright if only done in reasonable amounts. However, some of the newer institutions have been actively doing it in or- der to rapidly build up the quality of their student bodies." He added that one of the con- structive practices concerning top scholars has been that used by the Ivy League schools who will some- times get together and decide what each school will offer the individ- ual student. "They realized they were playing against each other so they decided it would be better to get together and correct this." 'Heyns noted that such prac- tices are very hard to uncover. He added that "we should always be concerned about bright students. However, our first mission is to help people who are really in need. Once this is taken care of we should worry about all scholar- ships being maximally attractive to bright students." Council To Meet I I PANHEL FORUM: SGC Candidates View Discrimination (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first in a two-part series outlining the stands of candidates for Student Government Council on various policy issues.) Eleven candidates for Student Government Council appeared at a Panhellenic-sponsored forum last night which centered discussion on discrimination in student organizations and the Harris proposal. Endorsed by Council last week, and slated for Regental considera- tion on March 22, the proposals of Prof. Robert G. Harris of the Law School clarify SGC authority to enforce anti-discrimination bylaw 2.14 and a related Council regulation. Seven candidates praised Council's passage of the Harris report but urged caution in implementation of procedures to eliminate bias. Several of the seven asserted the right of individual student organiza- tions to set membership rules. Voice Candidates Four Voice candidates, running on the party's platform, asked that "selection of members must be kept on an individual basis. It is out of the realm of SGC to coerce an individual to make a choice on grounds other than his own personal preference." 'Moderate Liberal' Thomas Smithson, '65, who calls himself a "moderate liberal" but asserts he does not stand with liberals on membership selection, said that legally SGC has control over membership, but that he would not go "beyond the letter of the law" in implementation. He noted the original founding of sororities and fraternities as "private clubs," and asserted that "discrimination is a private right" of these groups. Candidate John Rutherford, '64, called discrimination in sororities and fraternities a "dead issue." Rutherford said that "every fraternity has eliminated its bias clause" and that the five sororities which have not submitted membership statements to Council will probably be "forced into compliance."
