SACUA To Allow SGC Participants McKeachie Explains Advisory Role Of Students in Faculty Government By MICHAEL SATTINGER Chairmen of the subcommittees of the Senate Advisory Com- mittee on University Affairs now have the authority to allow students delegated by Student Government Council to participate in commit- tee meetings. At its last meeting of the year, SACUA unanimously approved the proposal.

LXXIII, No. 175 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY, MAY 22, 1963 SEVEN CENTS SIX PAGES Ackley Asks, Lower Tax On Incomes By RUCHA ROBINSON Reduction of tax rates is the greatest contribution which the federal government can make to- wards building a more dynamic economy, Gardner Ackley, a mem- ber of the President's Council of Economic Advisors, said yesterday. Speaking on "T h e Federal Budget and a Dynamic Economy," Ackley, former chairman of the University's economics depart- ment, discussed the Kennedy ad- ministration's encouragement of private investment as a means of economic growth. GARDNER ACKLEY ... tax cut He said the administration has promoted investment by proposed alterations in both corporation and private taxes. With the passage of the 1962 Revenue Act, business taxes were reduced by 10 per cent. Proposed reforms include reduc- tion in top-bracket income tax rates, Ackley added. Taxes "reduce purchasing pow-' er and thus limit total demand," because the basic resources of manpower and equipment are not being fully used because of lack of demand, he noted. Reduction of corporate tax rates and "penalty rates" at the high end of the income-tax scale will make investment more attractive. Investment, in turn, will speed growth of potential resources as well as improve existing nroductive resources, Ackley noted, Federal deficits of recent years have resulted from unemployment, but higher taxes and lower federal spending would not have avoided them. Ackley asserted that gov- ernment expenditures on research and education directly contribute to increases in production. The government can influence total demand through purchases of goods, he commented. This in- creases the individual's purchas- ing power with social insurance, relief payments and subsidies, as well as lowered tax rates.

There were unconfirm- ed reports that at least six militia- men were killed and a number wounded. University," Prof. Wilbert J. Mc- Keachie, chairman of both the psychology department and SACUA, said last night. Students Contribute "Student participation is not so much a question of students gain- ing power as of opportunity for students to contribute to the prob- lem-solving process. "SACUA committees usually do not take formal votes on issues but rather try to arrive at some form of consensus," he said. "Faculty members are concerned about the general problem of de- veloping student responsibility as citizens. We hope that the stu-. dents will not feel that they have solved this problem simply by par- ticipation of a small number of students in these committees," he added. SGC Study "We would hope that SGC would continue to study the problem of the relationship of the student1 representatives to the larger stu- dent body, in the hope that a large proportion of students wouldt become informed and responsible; citizens of the University com- munity," Prof. McKeachie said. SACUA also picked nine nom--t inees for the SACUA Committee on Conditions of Staff Excellence. Vice-President for Academic Af- fairs Roger W. Heyns will appointf six of the nine for the committee.1 The staff excellence conditions committee was created in April at1 the last previous University Senate mleeting. Reed DiscussionE The last meeting also included i discussion with Prof. John W. Deed of the Law School on the general problems of faculty par-r icipation in University affairs.t "We are not working on a mech- nism of allowing faculty control, ut rather a mechanism for in-r 3reasing the involvement of fac- ity in the processes leading up to lecision," Prof. McKeachie said.e 'What we want is a system wheree administrators can make decisionsC with the understanding of facultye viewpoints and with a contribution r >f faculty skills, knowledge and ntelligence." University President H a r I a nt atcher also addressed the meet- e ng on the University's past year nd its future prospects. SACUA also read a letter fromr he Educational Policies Commit- ee on the Academic Affairs Ad- $ risory Committee. 1 b Elect Officerst of Committee e New officers of the Senate Ad- b isory Committee on University r ffairs were elected at the last s ACUA meeting of the year. d They were Prof. William Kerr, hairman of the nuclear engineer- V rg department, chairman; Prof. t tichard Wellman of the Law le chool, vice-chairman; and Prof.: aye McCain of the nursing i chool, secretary. e Attending the meeting were the f ACUA members elected by the Iniversity Senate for next year: rof.

U.S. Rejects Soviet Plan WASHINGTONW)(- The state department rejected last night a Soviet call for an atom-free Medi- terranean, saying the proposal amounts to a propaganda bid to a b o I is h a Western deterrent against Soviet rocket attack. The Soviet note delivered Mon- day proposed that the Mediterran- ean area be freed of nuclear mis- siles. The United States has just assigned three nuclear missile- carrying atomic submarines to the Mediterranean as part of the North Atlantic Treaty Organiza- tion defense. This Polaris missile force is; slated to be part of the NATO nu- clear strike structure being con- sidered by the Atlantic Pact min- isters meeting in Ottawa today. "The Soviet note on nuclear de- fense forces of NATO in the Med- iterranean delivered to the. state department last night is being studied, but it appears to be typ- ical of the moves that the Soviet Union is in the habit of making on the eve of NATO meetings," the department's note stated. "What the Soviets are proposing is that we eliminate our seaborne nuclear capacity in the Mediter- ranean, which is one of NATO's most effective counters to repeated Soviet threats to use their own nuclear weapons against members of the NATO alliance. "Neither the Soviet Union nor, any other country has anything to fear from any defensive measures of the NATO countries." . The Soviet proposal said Russia would agree not to put any nu- clear weapons in the Mediter- ranean if the other powers would not. approval by Lewis and his col- leagues. Lewis predicts that this will be granted by the end of next week. Between Women, OSA Assembly has defined its posi- tion as lying somewhere between the individual independent woman student and the Office of Student Affairs. The proposed Definition of Authority recognizes the flow of power from Vice-President Lewis to the Assembly Association to the individual house councils, to the independent women. The flow of representation is in the opposite direction. Lewis was in complete agree- ment with the provision that he approve or veto proposed legisla- tion within two weeks. Under the measure, if he does not act with- in that time, the said legislation becomes official Assembly policy This measure was the major change from present policy con- tained in the Definition. Miss Hager had said earlier that a two-week time limit "would better define the relationship be- tween the vice-president and As- sembly and would facilitate imple- menting any legislation passed." Controversial The measure which proved to be the most controversial at a recent AHC meeting was the provision that powers not specifically dele- gated to the individual houses would be the responsibility of the Assembly Association. Miss Hager explained that in order for the powers to become house powers, they would have to belong to AHC, which would then delegate it ac- cordingly. The AHC is authorized to express the, opinion of and recommend regulations for the women in the residence halls on any issue and may serve in an advisory capacity. Assembly may also aid in the establishment of new house gov- ernments. Romney Goes To Washington To Give Talk University President Harlan Hatcher will be among 48 lead- ers in education, business, indus- try and other fields who will ac- company Gov. George Romney to- day when he journeys to Washing- ton to address the National Press Club on Michigan Week. President Hatcher will not take part in the speechmaking but will merely serve as a member of Gov. Romney's entourage. The Gover- nor will speak on Michigan's re- sources and potential. The purpose of Romney's speak- ing engagement is to encourage other Michigan industrialists and leaders in other fields to seek sim- ilar opportunities to carry word of Michigan's resources and poten- tial across the nation and the world.

LEWIS ... approves definition WHEAT:. Farm Vote Kills Plan WASHINGTON W) - The na- tion's wheat farmers yesterday re- jected a new and tighter federal production control plan for their crops. With results from 43 states par- tially or completely tabulated, only 46 per cent of the voters favored 'the program. It needed a 66.7 per cent favorable vote for adoption. The vote was 415,357 for the plan, 483,696 against. It was the first time in 13 ref- erenda that wheat growers had rejected a production-control plan. The plan had been advanced by the Kennedy administration as a measure to halt overproduction and to stabilize prices. The defeat carried implications far beyond the wheat crop. Vic- torious opponents had called for the plan's defeat as a means of heading off possible controls on livestock, milk, poultry and crops not now subject to restrictions. President John F. Kennedy, while urging approval of his wheat proposal, had said the referendum would be a test of his farm sup- ply control policies. The only part of the country which gave the plan a top-heavy vote was the Southeast-an area which grows relatively little wheat but which has become accustomed to tight controls on cotton, to-' bacco and peanuts. The referendum outcome was a personal defeat for Agriculture Secretary Orville L. Freeman, who had said defeat would bring chaos to wheat growers. Likewise, the results raise the prestige of the American Farm Bureau Federation and its president, Charles B. Shuman, who opposed the plan. Aides said Freeman would have no comment on the outcome to- day. Shuman issued a statement from his Farm Bureau headquar- ters which stated the results were "a clear indication that farmers favor a change in the" direction of national farm policy." "This is a bright day for agri- culture," Shuman said. Heyns Reveals 'U' Pro motions Vice-President for Academic Af- * Accept Idea Of Forming Co-ed Center Await Union Action; Question Some Parts Of Committee Plan By KAREN MARGOLIS The Michigan League Board of Directors has accepted-with some changes and comments-the final report of the Union-League Study Committee recommending that the Women's League and the Michigan Union merge to form a co-educa- tional University Center. Board members also decided to seek Regental approval of the re- port before the implementation committee is formed. Also, how- ever,' it must be accepted by the Michigan Union Board of Gover- nors, which will consider the ques- tion at its meeting tomorrow. The Office of Student Affairs also will submit a report on it after studying' the Robeitson Re- port, which proposes the merger. Four Alumni According to the proposed plan, four alumni would be included on the University Center Board of Directors, but the proportion of men and women is not specified. The League Board alumnae asked to change the report to give the women equal representation on the new Board of Directors. The rationale given was that alumnae, although smaller in number and amount of funds brought in than alumni, "have more constant care and everyday concern" and in general are hard- er workers. They also asserted that an or- ganization is run better with wo- men's aid, and cited the shaky financial status of the Union as compared to the more prosperous League. Four Students Similarly, the report provides that students have four represen- tatives on the Board, but sexes are not specified. However, the women students on the League Board did not find it necessary to insure that some of these represen- tatives be women. Although it was brought up that women must be on the Board if the organization is to be truly co-educational, League ' President Gretchen Groth, '64, em- phasized that if the new organiza- tion is a fresh one rather than merely an amalgamation of men's and women's organizations, all the members of the Board will repre- sent the student body as a whole and not one sex or the other. She showed nd concern that women students would be overlooked but expressed the hope that women have an equal opportunity to reach the top on merit. Three Non-Students The Board also questioned the part on the faculty and alumnae members of the League Board, which requires that three non- students sit with the four student members of the selections com- mittee, which would choose of- ficers for the Student Activities Committee of the new Center. Some women thought that, since the Student Activities Committee was set up to be independent of the Board of Directors, there was no need for non-student participa- tion. Onemember expressed surprise that the same students who are demanding increased power in other branches of the University are "all of a sudden" requesting adult council. One Wonders "It is not that we would not like to join the committee; we were just wondering why we GOVERNMENT CONTROL: Annis Hits Medicare 'Misrepresentation,' Student Aid By MARY LOU BUTCHER The American Medical Association is opposed to the Medicare bill because it provides help indiscriminately to senior citizens and because it has been misrepresented to the American public, AMA President-Elect Dr. Edward Annis said last night at the Michigan Union. The proposed King-Anderson Medicare Bill provides for everyone over 65 including those who can adequately support themselves and a large segment of wealthy people, he said. "Just because some citizen has had a birthday, there is no reason to tax the working man to pay a wealthy man's medical bills," he maintained. "Medicare is not for medical care, but for hospital care," Annis By PHILIP SUTIN Acting National Concerns Editor The American Medical Association supports federal medical school construction aid, but opposes federal scholarship help for medi- cal students, AMA President-Elect Dr. Edward R. Annis noted yester- day. He explained that the AMA has long supported "bricks and mor- tar" grants-in-aid for medical schools, but has drawn the line at scholarships and teacher salaries. With construction funds, all the government would need to know is that the proposed building is structurally sound and money would be given. But with scholarships, there is always the danger that the - '
