UNANIMOUS VOTE:
Board Approves Report
Of Union-League Merger
(Continued from Page 1)

the Alumni Association hopefully
can work it out itself and present
a satisfactory solution to the im-
plementation committee.3
"The same stipulation as the
League's could be added, but it
should be the Alumni Associa-
tion's decision. It's a matter of
principle," Rusnak added.
The Union Board also decided
to refer the present report to the
Regents "for their consideration'
and possible comments." The Un-
ion and League have agreed to
refer the report jointly. Rusnak
explained that "rather than get'
further into this we want to make
sure of the Regents' feelings."
Countered Comment
Rusnak also countered t h e,
League's comment that the Union
suffered "shaky financial status."
"Unlike organizations that run to
make a profit, the Union is run as
a service organization, as close
to the break-even point as pos-
sible. Periodically there are defi-
cits, but periodically there are also
surpluses. In the long run we are
ahead, with a large reserve fund
which has financed such improve-
ments as the MUG remodeling."
Office of Student Affairs rep-
resentative to the Union Board
Walter B. Rea, special assistant to
the vice-president for student af-

fairs, mentioned the OSA's desire
for some cooperation between the
University Center student activi-
ties group and the OSA. He sug-
gested "prior consultation" on
activity projects as one possi-
bility.
Peculiar Independence
But former Union President
Robert F. Finke, '63, reiterated the
peculiar independence of the cen-
ter's activity group, and the fear
of OSA "empire building."
Some board members also ex-
pressed hopes that the new Uni-
versity Center will be able to
assume control of such service
facilities as the North Campus
student-faculty center which the
Regents authorized last Friday.
.Disclaimer
Through a mix-up in de-
livery, a copy of the "Peace
Corps News" was included as a
supplement in every copy of
Tuesday's Daily.
The inclusion of this supple-
ment in no way constitutes
Daily endorsement of either the
supplement itself or the Peace
Corps in general. The Daily, as
a newspaper, does not take

tions.

'U' Gains
Considered
By Hatcher

priations commensurate with its
needs."
Because the budget was "pre-de-
termined before the University
even ventured up to Lansing and
because the new governor placed
primary emphasis on the economic
improvement of the state, "I de-
cided to focus the Legislature's
attention on the University's re-
search potential" in hopes of
changing the picture on appropri-
ation recommendations, President
Hatcher explained.
Research Image
The intent of emphasis on re-
search capabilities was simply to
demonstrate one aspect of the
University's many potentialities.
This emphasis is now "paying off."
President Hatcher cited an in-
creased interest in the University
on the part of industry.
The creation of Gov. George
Romney's "Blue-Ribbon" commit-
tee on higher education was hailed
by the University's chief execu-
tive as one of the most signifi-
cant events of the year. The Uni-
versity is looking to the committee
for advice on the "division of la-
bor and financial support" among
the state institutions of higher
education.
The University is also awaiting
the citizens' committee's recom-
mendations on creating a four-
year, degree granting institution
at Delta College-a project for
which the University sought leg-
islative support but failed to get.
This was one of the major disap-
pointments of the year, he com-
mented.
Student Understanding
The University and its student
body have taken an increased in-
terest in "broadening the base of
human understanding and broth-
erhood."
First there was the issue of Ann
Arbor's proposed fair housing ordi-
nance. Then this month the Re-
gents gave a "clear, unambiguous
statement" of its delegation of au-
thority over the handling of bias
in student organizations to Stu-
dent Government Council.
The issue of bias in fraternities
and sororities is a "sensitive prob-
lem," and "I believe that the Uni-
versity's atmosphere of reason-
ableness and goodwill is better in
the long run than other universi-
ties' authoritarian methods." "The
spirit is more important than the
letter in this matter," he main-
tained.
