mate By DAVID MARCI Report Cites Fac US Oniversity faculty members overwhelmingly approved continued participation in intercollegiate athletics a University sub-committee's report released yesterday shows. But the faculty also registered its disapproval of several Western Conference policies including grants-in-aid to athletes, regardless of need and the minimum standard set by the conference for the admission of athletes. Lessen Professionalism The report was compiled by the Sub-Committee on Professional- ism in Intercollegiate Athletics under the chairmanship of Prof., Robert C. Angell of the sociology department. The group was originally formed to fulfill a Senate resolution "to correspond with other Big Ten universities to determine what action their faculties might take to lessen the degree of professionalism in intercollegiate activities." The subcommittee decided to poll the University faculty as a "useful beginning to its work." The survey encompassed 375 faculty members with all but 44 responding. Results show that 84.4 per cent of the faculty favored continued participation in intercollegiate athletics, while only 8.5 per cent back withdrawal. The remainder had no opinion. On the question of academic standards, faculty members feel that the present Western Conference requirements are too lax. The rules require that an athlete have a high school class-rank and test scores indicating that he will make an average of 1.7 or better in order to receive a grant-in-aid. Stricter Standard Of the faculty members polled, 65.4 per cent favor a stricter conference standard while only .9 per cent are in favor of less stringent standards. The University requires a 2.0 projected average. On the issue of grants-in-aid to athletes, the report shows strong feeling that financial help to athletes should be connected with need. Almost 43 per cent of those polled answered that they feel there should be no grants-in-aid specifically for athletes, while only 22 ulty Approval per cent felt that athletic grants should be independent of need. control of ath According to a Dec. 1961 revision of conference rules, grants-in- knowledge oft aid can be given to athletes with no regard for need.

LXXIII, No.93 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1963 SEVEN CENTS EIGHT PAGES SGC TONIGHT: Motion Asks Hours Reforms By RICHARD KELLER SIMON Student Government Council will study a plan for extensive liberalization of women's hours at its regular meeting tonight. Two motions before Council, one from the Committee on Stu- dent Activities, and one from Ex- ecutive Vice-President Thomas \ No-Confid en Die"f enbaker Vote Fells Brown, '63, ask for several major changes in current regulations. Both motions request permission for freshmen women to visit apartments, extension of weekday closing for freshmen women to midnight and an increase in the number of late minutes allowed each semester. Extend Closings The committee motion asks for extension of weekend closings to at least 1 a.m. The Brown motion asks for extension to 1:30 a.m., with limitation on the number of late permissions to one a semes- ter; 2:30 a.m. for Homecoming, and Spring Weekend Michigras. The committee motion also re- quests elimination of hours and apartment permissions for junior women. SGC members have expressed strong support for many of the provisions. Hours Survey The Committee on Student Activities made its motion after taking an hours-survey in the women's residence halls, co-ops and one sorority. Committee Chairman Claire Walter, '64, said that the present hours situation does not allow women to learn how to run their own social lives, since the Uni- versity does it for them. She also cited the "difficult" crowded, closing time conditions at the women's residence entrances as a problem needing treatment. The results of the survey show- ed a strong backing of the pro- posals brought forth by the com- mittee. The survey is based on responses from 866 women, al- though it was distributed to many more who failed to respond or fill in the questionnaire properly. Broader Survey The committee is planning an- other broader survey covering more women, but it feels fairly certain the results will be very similar, Brown has offered his proposals as a substitute motion for the committee's, because he doesnot personally approve of the sug- gestions regarding junior women, and feels these particular points would hinder administrative ap- proval of the others. In a related motion the Com- mittee on Student Activities has asked SGC to recommend the elimination of chaperone forms for s o c i a 1 events. It cites little compliance with the rule and its failure to accomplish what it was intended to do. Council will consider these pro- posals in committee of the whole discussions as motions of student opinion and must suspend the rules to vote passage on any of them tonight. Of those women participating in the survey, 29 are residents of cooperatives, and 47 from sorori- ties. The class breakdown of the respondents living in the dormi- tory system was 433 freshman, 221 sophomores, 104 juniors and 32 seniors. The Committee noted that "the survey is not to be taken as just a sample of campus opinion." Also on the agenda is a motion from Howard Abrams, '63, asking for elimination of ex-officio vot- ing power and the addition of ex- officio representatives from Grad- uate Student Council, Inter-Co- operative Council and the Inter- national Students' Association. Council will hear a report on the Organization of Student Af- fairs Study Committee, and a re- port on student health insurance. The Council is currently seek- ing petitioners to the Committee on Membership, and other SGC affiliated groups. Interested stu- dents should make application at the SGC office in the SAB. Government OPENS FORUM: Livant Stresses Role of Past Conservative Head To Call New Electio n Nuclear Arms Fight Unites Liberal Groups f PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY ... domestic peace corps Peace Corps To Create Domestic Unit WASHINGTON (P)-The Ken- nedy administration may act with- in a week or two to start setting up a domestic version of the Peace Corps. President John F. Kennedy al- ready has accepted recommenda- tions of a cabinet-level commit. tee that the corps be created. It would be designed to help Ameri- can communities solve some of their problems much as volunteers serving abroad are helping foreign lands. Administration officials said yesterday K en n e d y may act through an executive order, a re- quest to Congress for legislation, or both. The foreign Peace Corps was created by executive order on a pilot basis, given some money from the White House budget, and al- lowed to recruit and train corps members before Congress got around to authorizing a full scale Peace Corps program by legisla- tion. This could also be done on a domestic basis, but persons famil- iar with the planning say it is more likely that Kennedy will merely authorize a planning and preparatory program through an executive order. He would leave it up to Congress to enact legislation authorizing actual operation, with a recruiting and training system. A 22-man committee is working in Washington and is a standby group of the committee that pre- pared the report proposing a do- mestic peace corps. The committee is putting to- gether information that might be useful to the President in prepar- ing an executive order or. a legis- lative request to Congress. I1 By JEAN TENANDER "If we look around today we find a great deal of behavior of our policies is based on how right or wrong our predictive assump- tions have been," William Livant of the Mental Health Research In- stitute said last night in the first of the VOICE forum discussions on American society. He pointed out that in this in- stance he was not referring to a moral right or wrong, but rather to whether a certain policy had succeeded or failed. As an illustration he discussed America's interpretation of the So- viet Union's potential following the Russian revolution and as it existed a few years ago. Evil Will "After the revolution we believed Russia represented an evil and malevolent will. We also,' how- ever, believed it lacked skill to make this evil will into an effec- tive power. Although almost every significant event which has oc- curred since we drew this conclu- sion about the Soviet Union has proved it to be wrong, we are only now revising our interpretation of Russian skill and have as yet fail- ed to make any alternation in our beliefs about Russian will," he said. Thus one of the two major ques- tions necessary to ask if we are to increase our ways of learning in a contemporary society is what the history of a particular problem has been, Livant said. "A society that forgets the suc- cesses or failures of the models it is using to guide its, policies is imeA +r CnfiJ Ill Greene Plans Injunction In Appeal for. Entrance WILLIAM LIVANT VOICE speaker cept on faith. If mistakes are made then we have the preroga- tive to question the right of those who made the mistakes to issue pronouncements without proof of their validity." As an instance of such a mis- take he pointed out that urbani- zation and industrialization were' supposed to bring about the amel- ioration of the civil rights prob- lem. "In the face of failures like this to predict events correctly, we must ask ourselves seriously whether the image of the world in which we operate is gravely de- ficient," he said. Livant termed this examination of what has gone before "radical renovation." He also discussed the sort of reactions that occur when we are confronted with past fail- ures. There are two primary ways of reacting to the discovery that something went wrong, Livant said. "The first is what I call 'fleeing forward' which means es- sentially that if you are frightened of what has just happened you run ahead faster." The second way to meet mis- takes is to forget they happened, he said. This is beginning to take more and more work. Secrecy or a system of managed information is another effective way of allowing people to forget what they do not particularly want to remember, as is segregation in all its aspects. Livant commented. Restrictions on information and dissent are therefore the result of the attempt to erase history. From such attempts and their successes comes a system devoted to the ritual repetition of error. "A system which is wrong in its fundamental assumptions and re- moves itself from all, criticism suf- fers from something morally in- correct." Lehmann Asks More Funds The education school "desper- ately needs" funds to expand its overcrowded facilities on the sec- and floor of University High School, Prof. Charles F. Lehmann of the education school said. Ile said that negotiations with Vice-President for Academic Af- fairs Roger W. Heyns and Vice- President for Businessand Fi- nance Wilbur K. Pierpont are now under way and that a decision re- garding the allocation of funds by the University should be made "within a month."

Speeifically, he directed Greene to appeal to the university's com- mittee on admissions, if he wanted to challenge registrar Robert El-j lis' rejection of his application. Ellis testified at the hearing thatj he turned down Greene's applica- tion, because he had low grades. Greene applied by mail twice last fall and appeared on the cam- pus during registration last week. He asked Mize to order his en- rollment on the ground that the federal court orders in the James H.

No legislator voiced opposition to the substance of the measure, but two technical difficulties dis- suaded the House Committee on Revision and Amendment of the Constitution from taking a vote, at its first hearing yesterday, Rep. Homer Arnett (R-Kalama- zoo), chairman of the committee, reported last night. Several members argued against amending the present state con- stitution, feeling that it might be better to wait until after the fate of the proposed constitution is decided in the April elections. Conflicting Legislation The other problem is the possi- bility that the legislation may conflict with the section to which it would be added, Arnett said. Sponsored by Rep. Richard A. H. J. Guzowski (D-Detroit), the proposal would prohibt speeches urging subversion of the state or national government, but the sec- tion which would be amended states that "every person may freely speak, write and publish his sentiments on *all subjects, being responsible for the abuse of such right." Aside from these two difficul- ties, committee members were def- initely "in sympathy with the pur- pose" of the amendment, Arnett disclosed, on the grounds that Communists have no respect for and continually abuse the privil- ege. of academic freedom. Not Scheduled He has not yet scheduled thet next hearing for the Guzowski measure, which stands as a joint House resolution. Another such resolution - the proposed poll tax amendment to the United States constitution - was reported out of Arnett's com- Imittee vesterdav with a favorable, By The Associated Press OTTAWA-With calm delibera- tion, the combined opposition in Canada's Parliament struck down Canadian Prime Minister John Diefenbaker's Conservative gov- ernment last night over the issue of his indecision on accepting United States nuclear warheads. He went down to defeat with bitter words on United States pol- icy and Secretary of State Dean FRusk. , Diefenbaker immediately set in motion machinery for dissolving Parliament and calling new elec- tions, probably April 18. An- nouncements on both are expected after he confers today with Gov.- Gen. Georges P. Vanier. Nuclear Dispute The elections are expected to center on the United States-Cana- dian dispute on nuclear defense of North America. The State Department in Wash- ington had no comment on the fall of Diefenbaker's government. A last-minute attack by Dief- enbaker on so-called United States intrusions in Canadian affairs failed to save his minority govern- ment. The opposition Liberal, So- cial Credit and New Democratic Parties combined forces in the House of Commons and brought the government down with two quick no-confidence motions. Identical Votes The votes of the Social Credit and Liberal motions were identi- cal, 142 to 111, and only two New Democratic deputies voted with the government. Only once before since Canadian confederation in 1867 has a fed- eral government been beaten on a no-confidence vote in the Com- mons and that was in 1926, when Arthur Meighen's Conservative ad- ministration was toppled by one vote, 96 to 95, on a Liberal no- confidence motion. In the outgoing Parliament, the Conservatives held 115 seats, the Liberals 99, the Social Credit Par- ty 30 and the New Democrats 19. Two seats in the 265-seat chamber were vacant. In the end It was a Social Credit motion that defeated Diefenbaker. White Enters Regental Race Ink White, a weekly newspaper publisher from St. Johns, yester- day announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for one of the two Regental posts to be filled in the April 1 election. He is chairman of the Clinton . County Republican Committee and was a delegate to the Constitution- al Convention.
