I President Clarifies Regental Role With Reference To Harris Report By JEAN TENANDER University President Harlan Hatcher yesterday announced that he will be one of the 12 American university presidents to visit Great Britain this summer for the annual joint meeting of the Association of America Universities and the Association of Univer- sities of the British Commonwealth. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the AUBC and as a result there will be over 500 delegates from the Commonwealth nations attending the meetings. The meetings will be held in London, Oxford and St. Andrews, Scotland. President and Mrs. Hatcher will " leave on July 4 and plan to return Albion Panel Argues News ,Management By MARILYN KORAL Special To The Daily. ALBION - As the government and news are becoming more com- plex, government secrecy and censorship a r e increasing to "create a gradual but certain ero- sion into basic American rights," Basil Walters told the Albion Col- lege Freedom Forum on "Govern- ment Secrecy, Censorship and a Free Press" yesterday. The former Chicago Daily News editor and president of the Ameri- can Society of Newspaper Editors discussed the degree and nature of current "news management" along with Hugh Robinson of the defense; department, Frank S. Sie- verts of the state department, De- troit News Editor Martin S. Hay- den, Rock County Star Herald Editor Alan MacIntosh and Lans- ing State Journal Managing Editor Kenneth R. West. Walters warned that the John F. Kennedy administration was "managing the news as a political tool.' Vietnam Incident He illustrated by pointing out the congressional uncovering last week of an administration docu- ment ordering South Vietnamese military leaders to "keep Ameri- can . reporters away from situa- tions showing the failure of the Vietnamese military to win sup- port of the people." Outlining the basic informa- tional policy of the defense de- partment, Robinson claimed that the public was "as fully informed as the bounds of military security and national interest permit." In defense of the news censor- ship during the Cuban crisis, Rob- inson commented that withhold- ing the news was temporarily nec- essary in order to preserve the element of surprise for the Rus- sians, to keep them from seizing the initiative and putting the United States on the defensive. Upper Hand "The key element in our Cuban success was that we were able to confront the adversaries with a plan of which they had no prior information," Robinson said. He told the newspapermen that since the Kennedy administration has taken office the flow of in- formation from his department to the press has increased 40 per cent. Hayden noted that it was only through a recent news leak that a Washington paper discovered a congressional defense committee had physically abused witnesses to thespoint where they had to be hospitalized. Brass Disturbed When the Pentagon found out the news was discovered, it was in an "uproar," Hayden said. "Why shouldn't the news have been given out? This is the kind of 'parental' decision against which the campaign opposing news management is directed. "To be short and blunt about it, who's Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara to say that the al-' leged misconduct of a defense committee should be kept a sec- ret?" Hayden charged. But Robinson said that McNa- mara wanted the information to remain secret fn order to "main- tain the proprieties between de- fense committees and the defense department."

British Universities President Hatcher noted' that British universities are now faced with many of the same problems which first confronted American universities a few years ago. "Up until a few years ago the British were not very interested in uni- versity administration but now that they are faced with increas- ing enrollment and the need for expansion they have becomedcon- cerned with all the problems of large universities," he said. The AAU and the AUBC meet every year alternately in Britain and the United States. There are King City Leaders May Reject Racial Pact Status of White Group Clouds Acceptance BIRMINGHAM (P)-Rev. Mar- tin Luther King Jr., leader in the desegregation fight in Birming- ham, said last night a formula has been devised for settling the dis- pute, but contraditory statements cast doubt on the outlook for a settlement. Two city officials promptly said they disassociated themselves from King's announcement. "The settlement has been sealed except for minor details," King said. He made the statement shortly after a biracial committee emerged from the second of two long meetings yesterday. The committee is unofficial. It can only recommend that the city adopt the formula. Confusion Arose Confusion arose when Mayor Albert Boutwell and Police Com- missioner Eugene Connor issued statements on King's interpreta- tion of the situation as it now stands. The confusion stemmed in part from the unofficial status of the committee. The chairman is Sidney W. Smyer, a prominent businessman. The other members have preserved careful anonymity but they are reported to be influential Birming- ham residents. City's Position Uncertain But in the welter of statements that followed King's announce- ment, what could not be deter- mined was whether the city offi- cials would go along with the for- mula for peace. A major point at issue appeared to be ;the Negro demand that. charges be dismissed against about 2400 persons arrested during the demonstrations for parading with- out a permit. Connor repeatedly has said he would not agree to this. Bill of Particulars There are three other main points in the Negroes' bill of par- ticulars. They are for desegregation of lunch rooms and other facilities in downtown stores, imroved job opportunities for qualified Negroes in industry, and creation of a bi- racial committee to cope with de- segregation problems in Birming-1 ham. It was not even clear whether the city's merchants would agree to concessions affecting the stores and factories.1 "I have not been a party to the recent negotiations between pri- vate citizens of both races," Bout- well said. "I have made no com- mitment with reference to any matter being negotiated. I regard it as an unwarranted.presumption for anyone to infer or suggest that there has been a truce be- tween the city of Birmingham and any who have violated the law." The biracial committee called another meeting for 10 a.m. this morning. Sees * * * * * * * Birmingham Fraternity Presidents Eliminate Rush Visitation Requirements Committee Evaluates Ideas By RUCHA ROBINSON The Committee of Visitors of the Law School has submitted its first evaluation of Law School standards. Established last year in accord- ance with the new bylaws of the Lawyers Club, this committee will "meet at least once a year to examine the Lew School's pro- gram of undergraduate, graduate1 and continuing legal education." The committee's report encom-. passed evaluations of Law School admissions, curriculum, student aid, research and graduate study. The report stressed that the Law School is a national law school, and resolved "that it would do the Law School, the Univer- sity and the state a disservice to Settlement * impose arbitrary residence restric- I The report noted studies which tions upon admissions to School or to discourage rollment of qualified the Law the en- students from other states." Inability to Write The report states that "the greatest deficiency in the law graduate today is his inability to write the English language clear- ly, simply and forcefully." The committee suggested that required non-credit composition courses be given. The law student should deal "with actual legal documents, contracts, leases, wills, records, pleadings and briefs." He should be "acquainted with the need for practitioners in the arts of public law at all levels, and with oppor- tunities in government." Plant Expansion Committee Formulates New Approach (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the fifth of a series of nine articles analyz- ing the most pressing problems of the University's athletic plant.) By BILL BULLARD The construction of the proposed multi-purpose building seemed no more imminent at the time the Board in Control of Intercollegiate Athletics submitted their annual report to the Regents in February than at any time since the idea was first considered. "A special committee has been studying the matter for some years, but we have not as yet found the solution to the problem of financing the structure," the board reported. However, a fundamental change in the approach to the problem now makes a workable plan for athletic plant expansion more possible than ever. Dean Stephen H. Spurr,$ indicate no correlation between the course of study in the undergrad- uate program, and success in law school. The committee reported that aid for students in law school has increased from $600 in 1950 to $256,000 ' during the past school year. The committee felt that one of the principal hopes for provid- ing needed funds is in use of guaranty funds generating a lend- ing power of 10 or 12 times the amount of the fund. The committee agreed that the law school placement service should be enlarged to aid the bot- tom half of the graduating class. Based on a report by Prof. Rich- ard V. Wellman, director of place- ment, the committee felt that "the placement office finds its ener- gies too much preempted by those in the upper half of the class." Impressive Numbers The report noted that those in the lower half of the class "would De leaders in lesser law schools. Experience shows that they con- tribute annually impressive num- bers of competent practitioners to the ranks of the bar." The committee endorsed con- tinuation of the graduate program. It proposed enlargement of this program to provide practitioners with short periods of intensive study in many areas. It also called for training in Anglo-Saxon law for lawyers abroad, "to prepare themto represent American inter- ests in foreign lands." Established last year in accord- ance with the new bylaws of the Lawyers Club, the committee will "meet at least once a year to examine the Law School's program of undergraduate, graduate and continuing legal education." Members of the 43-man com- mittee are members of the legal profession and include Justice- elect Paul N. Adams, Sen. Philip Hart (D-Mich), Circuit Judge John P. O'Hara, Supreme Court Justice Talbot Smith, and Sen. Stanley G. Thayer (R-Ann Arbor). HARLAN HATCHER ... London, Oxford CLIFFORD TAYLOR rush changes Judic Hears Sphinx C ase Joint Judiciary Council last night established two precedents, conducting its first open hearing and then closing its doors to rule on the first charges ever brought against a student honorary. In the open hearing, the Coun- cil gave a $20 suspended fine to John Wilson, '66, for "tampering with a motor vehicle" that was not his property. Since he, along with a friend from another university, had been convicted and fined for the same charge by the Ann Arbor Muni- cipal Court, the Council suspend- ed payment on the fine. Behind closed doors, the Coun- cil found Sphinx honorary guilty of failing to uphold University regulations by "disturbing the peace while tapping in the resi- dence hall," according to Joint Judiciary President Lawrence Schwartz, '63. For this offense, the Council levied a $50 fine, also suspended, Schwartz said. The Council refused to take in- to consideration a second part of the complaint, levied by Greene House of East Quadrangle, asking that Joint Judic consider the "in- decencies" which occur when hon- oraries tap their members, Schwartz said. 39 members inthe AAU compris- ing both private and public uni- versities. Discussing the Harris Report President Hatcher said he wished to clarify certain misunderstand- ings about the Regents position in relation to both the Harris Re- port and Dean Smith's analysis of it. Harris Report He pointed out that the Harris Report is not a regental matter but an administrative one and therefore the question of whether the Regents will come to a decision on the validity of the report is an erroneous one. The only question that will be brought before the Regents at their next meeting is the question of whether or not. the Regents possess the power to recognize stu- dent organizations and if so whether they have the power to delegate this authority elsewhere. Once this has been decided Presi- dent Hatcher said the matter be- comes one of "administrative ar- rangement" and probably will be the concern of the vice-president for student affairs and Student Governiment Council. the new chairman of the board's Plant Expansion Committee, and his committee have come to the conclusion that the concept of the multi-purpose building must be scrapped. Building Too Costly Spurr points out that the multi- purpose building would cost be- tween $8 and $10 million. The committee decided that in the light of past efforts to finance such an expensive structure that this would be an impractical ob- jective. The committee feels a more realistic goal would be separate basketball and hockey arenas, From this starting point, the com- mittee is working to formulate definite plans for financing and constructing these structures and other necessary physical plant ad- ditions. Spurr hopes that his committee will be able to finish its study and have it approved by the board in See ATHLETIC, Page 6 HISPANIC-AMERICANS: Leonard Airs Latin Potential Group Ends Work Delay By RICHARD KELLER SIMON Construction on the new music school building on North Campus resumed yesterday after a one- day work stoppage called by the Washtenaw County Building- Trades Council. The walk-off was a result of an accident at the project Wed- nesday morning when a four- story scaffolding gave way, kill- ing one worker and badly injur- ing another. The Trades Council members on the site, a group including elec- tricians, carpenters, bricklayers, pipefitters, teamsters and plaster- ers, stopped work in protest over "inadequate" safety provisions. Police Investigate The Ann Arbor Police depart- ment made an investigation into the causes of the accident yester- day and sent the undisclosed con- tents to the University. Work began again yesterday when the union came to an infor- mal agreement with the construc- tion firm in charge of the opera- tions. Under the agreement there will be a full inquiry into the safety provisions and insurance that such standards will be rigid- ly enforced. Jack Wheatly, business man- ager of one local union, charged that there have been more con- struction worker deaths by acci- dental causes in Washtenaw Coun- ty in the past year than in the past decade. He explained that conditions at the music school site are no worse than those at other North Campus locations, in- cluding the Science and Technol- ogy Bldg. Management at Fault Trades Council Vice-President Joseph Wojtowicz maintained that the scaffolding collapse was clear- ly a "fault of management" for failing to construct and protect the structure correctly.

FPA also approved September 7 as the first day of rush and agreed to allow contact between actives and non-affiliates during Orien- tation Week. It decided that rush- iIlg and pledge violations be refer- red directly to IFC rather than through the Office of Student Af- fairs, while dropping the require- ment to depledge superpledges who maintain averages below a 2.0 for two consecutive semesters. The requirement that each rushee visit a house in each of eight districts was eliminated by a 28-10 margin. A two-thirds ma- jority was required for all changes in the bylaws. Marginal Rush FPA agreed with the rush sub- committee that structured rush deterred the "marginal" rushee from rushing and created "artifi- cial traffic patterns." Large houses complained that too many people visited them un- der districting just to satisfy the eight-house requirement, thus making an effective rush difficult. FPA members also thought that districting , failed to lead each rushee to a house .suited for him, as evidenced by the depledging rate. It has surpassed last semes- ter's level already, "before the ma- jor depledging wave during Help Week," Psi Upsilon President Christopher G. Farrand, '64, not- ed. Suggestions to replace district- ing with another sort of structur- ing were made and postponed. "The old system was unsatisfac- tory or we wouldn't have tried to change it," Phi Kappa Psi presi- dent Jack E. Mathias, '63, ex- plained. Mathias suggested that large houses "adopt" weaker houses, to whom they could refer rushees un- suited for them. Another sugges- tion was dividing the system into two geographical districts which would rush on alternate days. Retaining the restriction that no house may extend bids before the second Sunday of rush derived from PPA's fear that permission to bid at anytime would lead to ''snowballing campaigns'' by large houses. Rare Chance FPA also objected that all ac- tives rarely had a chance to meet all rushees before that time. That early bids would influence rushees to choose a house without suffi- cient familiarity with that or other houses was mentioned. Women remain excluded from rush functions because FPA be- lieves the "social person" will rush without coeducational functions, while such functions might deter the "more serious" rushee. Mem- bers added that social functions with women would unnecessarily increase rushing costs. The group also voted to permit contactgbetween affiliates and non-affiliates during Orientation Week. This will allow "open rush- ing" and social functions with potential rushees at that time. Perndize SAM u -- 1T-*!I . r 1ie By JOHN BRYANT Hispanic America, long a back- water for scientific research, may provide a new breed of scientist who, because of his cultural back- ground in humanism and philoso- phy, will be able to take man's future into account in hiswork, Prof. Irving A. Leonard of the ro- mance language and history de- partments said yesterday. Prof. Leonard, delivering the Henry Russel Lecture, said that the Hispanic-American culture is in some aspects medieval in that theology, philosophy, and discus- sion are the stressed values rath- er than experimentation and sci- ence as in the North American cul- ture. "Mankind is. on the brink of ultimate extinction," Prof. Leon- ard said. "But, if there is still time, the tardy entrance of His- panic Americans and their values into science may prove beneficial." man church and the concept of a holy Roman Empire. In 1607, Eu- rope had split into two religious divisions and nationalism was be- ginning to develop." . Education Change Education also changed in this hundred year period according'to Prof. Leonard. At the end of the 15th century learning was center- ed around theology and philoso- phy, with the Bible, and Aristotle as seen by .Thomas Aquinas as the main reading matter. Education was authoritarian and f r e e thought was generally stifled. Prof. Leonard noted, however, that by the end of the 16th cen- tury the physical and intellectual world had expanded. Copernicus had shown that the earth was not the center of the universe and the world had been found to be spherical. Hispanic America, settled under the feudal system, remained feudal even after the rest of Europe had abandoned the system according to Prof. Leonard. The medieval system of education became inte- grated into the culture and its values remain today. Modern Atmosphere North America, on the other hand, was settled under a more modern atmosphere and its. cul- ture became achievement orient- ed rather than idea-oriented, he said. Research Park Heralds Growth of Employmett By WILLIAM BENOIT Ann Arbor's Research Park could add 15,000 jobs to the area with a program of expansion in the building of research facilities. This estimate stems from a study released recently by the Bureau of Industrial Relations of the University's graduate school of business administration. Prof. George Odiorne, director of the bureau, and researchr g Y,; associate Gerald Carvalho con- ducted the study. They contend that if Re- search Park would construct research facilities on the "us- able" 180 acres of its land the result would be new jobs for 5600 scientists and engineers; 2000 administrative and man- agerial workers; 1500 clerical; 1500 craftsmen, machinists and other skilled tradesmen; 3500 technicians and draftsmen and 700 building and grounds main- tenance workers. Part of Package The 180 acres of "usable" land is part of a 290 acre pack- age owned by Research Park near the site of its present_ location. In contrast, the entire GEORGE ODIORNE University central campus is conducts study only 40 acres. Prof. Odiorne notes that the "expansion" discussed in the study would "probably take ten years" but he emphasized the difficulty of attempting a prediction. ....r ..,..... ...:.,.
