The court ruled that Albert Aoutwell and a nine-member city council chosen to serve with him were entitled to take office im- mediately. Police Commissioner Eugene Connor, a militant segregationist, and two other city commissioners who sought to remain in cffice un- til October 1965, were told in effect to get out. Leads Police Connor gained widespread at- tention in recent weeks by leading police in the arrest of hundreds of Negroes demonstrating against segregation in Birmingham. He spurned a bi-racial citizens com- 'i mittee's recommendations for compromise. Boutwell, a former lieutenant governor of Alabama, promised by contrast to take a sympathetic attitude toward the work of the committee. He said, too, he will seek a con- ference with Gov. George Wallace, an outspoken supporter of Connor. Defeats Connor Boutwell defeated Connor in a runoff election for Mayor April 2. But he was delayed in taking of- fice by a dispute finally settled by the state's highest court. There was still a chance that Connor and the other commission- ers, voted out of office by dissatis- fied Birmingham residents, might gain another few weeks. They have 15 days to ask the court to re- consider its decision. New hopes for racial peace surged through Birmingham also Hatcher Evaluates Year, Cites Progress, Innovations By GAIL EVANS Acting Associate City Editor Leaning back in his executive chair, University President Harlan Hatcher smiled broadly and said that, as the University's chief executive his most rewarding experience this year was his seven-week tour of the Far East. The president needs to leave his school periodically to realize that "the eyes of the world are on the University as a dynamic force," he commented. As a progressive institution, the University has marked a year of some achievements and disappointments, according to President Hatcher. Notes Achievements It was a year of "solid achievement in matters of instruction and research, one of healthy debate of social issues, one of. im- portant decisions in matters of deep concern to our students." The announcement of plans for the new residential literary college may aid in the development of a "tenable concept of how the literary college can expand in the future," he-indicated The residential college is a "carefully devised unit, with its own authority structure and integrity." It is designed to be the maximum size to facilitate learning and instruction. Lauds Small College In praise of the new plan,4 President Hatcher commented, "I do not like tosee the liter- * ary college expand simply by R adding one more classroom and one more instructor." The pre- liminary work on the residen- tial college is now "taking good shape and we will move on this as fast as possible," he said.' More progress was made in the academic side of the Uni- versity with the appointment this month of the new dean of : the literary college. The selec- tion committee worked for al- most a year before Prof. Wil- liam Haber, chairman of the HARLAN HATCHER economics department, was ... praises small college chosen to fill the post. The faculty promotions are an indication of the "outstand- ing teachers and scholars" at the University. "This year the Uni- versity lost fewer of its key people than in past years because of the increases in faculty salaries effected this year and the stimulating environment of the University," President Hatcher maintained. Faculty Losses The University expects to lose a certain number of instruc- tors each year-there is a high demand in the educational mar- ket for top-notch faculty members, especially for young scien- tists, he said. It was difficult for the University to plan substantial im- provements this year since it "did not secure a legislative appro- See HATCHER, Page 8 with the return to school of a thousand Negro pupils, ousted for street marches. Economic Problems Disclosure of grave economic problems accompanied these de- velopments. A Chamber of Com- merce group reported the city has suffered heavily because of racial troubles and said something must be done. Under court order, 1,081 Negro children suspended Monday went back to school. They were among about 2,400 Negroes arrested in month-long demonstrations pro- testing segregation.

Approves Merger City Creates Committee To Study 'U' By WILLIAM BENOIT Mayor Cecil O. Creal has created a new City Council com- mittee with a function similar to the City - University Relations Committee but possessing far' more independence of action. The new Committee to Retain the Character of Ann Arbor is "entirely free to determine its own course of action in examining the actions of the University and their effects on the city," commit- tee member Prof. John Arthos of the English department said yes- terday. A statement of objectives re- leased by the committee notes that it can initiate investigation in the area of University expansion. The committee will report to council on its findings. Subcommittee Wednesday's opening meeting found the committee appointing Gerald Davenport of the Office of Research Administration as a one- man subcommittee to locate an existing ten-year growth plan of the University and to arrange for this plan to be presented to the committee at its next meeting. However, Executive Vice-Presi- dent Marvin L. Niehuss maintains there is no rigid plan for Univer- sity expansion of the central cam- pus. Although there is a study be- ing conducted on the central cam- pus, it is not near completion, he points out. To Cooperate "But the University will be happy to cooperate in discussing with the committee its plans in the area," he continued. Any property purchased by the University becomes public land and is therefore not subject to taxation. The committee had expressed concern over the University's acquisition of property in the 'vest section of Ann Arbor, but, Vice- President Niehuss notes that the property will be used only for of- fice space and maybe some re- search facilities instead of for a housing unit. Residents' Displeasure The committee has pointed out the displeasure of Ann Arbor resi- dents with the Oxford Housing project. Prof. Arthos maintains that this committee will be able to keep the city better informed on University building plans.

Bond Views Degree Pro gra By RUCHA ROBINSON After almost two years of faculty discussion, "it is now clear that the business administration school will continue its undergraduate program," Dean Floyd A. Bond said recently. The faculty had considered making the business school a strictly graduate one, like that of Harvard University. "However, as one of the leading schools of business administra- tion, it is our opportunity and obligation to offer a high level program leading to the bachelor degree in business administration, helping to establish Iirectors Report standards in the Government Alters Policy The Kennedy Administration, in a surprise move yesterday, aban- doned its omnibus approach to education legislation. The decision means that college aid may be enacted by Congress but that assistance for elementar3 and secondary schools is dead foi another year. The Administration bill sent tc Congress this spring sought $5.3 billion for all phases of education, from the first grader to the adult illiterate. Package Approach Critics of the package approach thought that the more populai parts of the program, such as aid to higher education, would be jeopardized by being tied in witt elementary and secondary school aid. The latter has involved the question of aid to parochial schools. Rep. Adam Clayton Powell, (D- N.Y.) and chairman of the House Committee on Education and La- bor, said the Administration no plans to submit four separate bills. One bill provides for $1.9 bil- lion in aid for college classroom and other academic construction in the form of grants and roans. A second bill, dealing with "im- pacted areas," contains $3.82 bil- lion for operating and construct- ing schools in regions burdened with heavy school population from military or other federal activities, Third Bill The third bill seeks $1.5 billion in grants to states for teacher sal- aries and school construction in elementary and secondary schools. A fourth bill aids all other phases of education. Eight separ- ate proposals are included in this bill which is an extension of the National Defense Education Act and includes vocational educa- tion, adult education, special han- dicapped education, university ex- tension, library services, quality education and cooperative re- search. White House sources confirmed that the Administration had agreed that Powell should "go for a rule on higher education." That means that the college aid bill would be considered on its' own, if cleared by the House Rules Committee. 1 a S Y i 3 ,,. t i r i i V I 1 1 1 1 r s x t T N field of business and business >e ducation," Dean Bond ex- plained. Strong Program "The faculty was reluctant to drop the BBA program because it is a strong program, and one of the best of its kind," he added. Dean Bond then noted that there are four reasons why the school has a strong undergradu- ate program. First, the program requires the student to have at least 60 credit hours in the literary college or the engineering college. Emphasis is placed on a strong liberal educa- tion. Students must complete re- quirements as stringent as those of the literary or engineering col- lege, Dean Bond noted. In addition, students must take one year of college algebra and analytical geometry and one year of economics. Graduate Requirements "The graduate requirements in general education are as demand- ing or more demanding than those leading to the bachelor of arts degree," Dean Bond said. He added that students are "lso given opportunity during their two years in the school to take elec- tives in other units of the Univer- sityr. The undergraduate program, thirdly, puts particular emphasis' "on the development of analytical abilities, not on memorization or description." It trains students for general management, not just in skills for their first job. Undergraduate Population j The undergraduate population forms one third of the school's stu- dent body. Therefore it is taught by a distinguished faculty whose main job is graduate teaching. Be- cause graduate instruction is of- fered as the majority of the school'sscurriculum, the under- graduate program receives a high level of instruction, Dean Bond cited as his fourth point. At present there are almost 1,000 students in the business ad- ministration school. DEAN FLOYD BOND ..undergraduates RESULTS: To Release EmU Study The State Board of Education will announce today the results of its recent investigation of Eastern Michigan University. The board will meet at 9 a.m. at Western Michigan University.. The meeting will be open to the public but will probably go into executive session to discuss the EMU situation. Chris Magnusson, president of the board, declined to comment when asked if he felt any official at EMU would be fired because of the investigation. "This will be up to the board to decide," he said. The North Central Association has submitted a report on the sit- uation, but thus far the board has refused to make public the details of this report on the grounds that it contains references to "person- alities" and "would not serve any purpose by being made public." The State Board also refused to provide Gov. George Romney with a copy of the NCA report, saying it is "not at liberty to release it to anyone." The rejection of the request was conveyed to the gov- ernor by Dr. Lynn Bartlett. Report Wins Unanimous Acceptance Move To Dissolve Union, League Groups When Center Begins By BURTON MICHAELS Without hesitation or dissent the Michigan Union Board of Di- rectors unanimously approved the Union-League Study Committee recommendations for a Union- League merger in a matter of min- utes last night. "In my knowledge nothing has ever passed the Union Board this quickly. This indicates the Union's readiness to move into the future, and its complete accord with the recommendations," Union Presi- dent Raymond L. Rusnak, '64, ex- claimed. The board attached a supple- mentary motion to the report call- ing for the dissolution of the pres- ent Union and League Boards up- on establishment of the new University Center Board. The League Board in accepting the re- port, did not pledge to dissolve. States Position "This does not force the League into anything, but states the Union's position clearly for the reference of the implementation committee, where such differences will be worked out," Rusnak ex- plained. None of the Union Board's sup- plementary motions are binding, but remain suggestions to the im- plementation committee. Some board members referred to the League alumnae's "justifiable apprehension" about possible uses for the League building under a University Center, especially since the alumnae financed construc- tion of the building. Thus, until the implementation committee submits its final recom- mendations for space allocation, "the League Board will be unlike- ly to accept dissolving itself," a member noted. Nothing to Govern Other members added, however, that "this apprehension does not exist on an undergraduate level." Some also pointed out that if the League's student activity group were to move into the Union building upon establishment of the University Center, the League governing board would be left with nothing to govern and would logically have to dissolve itself. The Union Board also in prin- ciple "strongly objected" to the League Board stipulation that two alumni and two alumnae sit on the University Center governing board. "Before t h e implementation committee confronts this problem, See BOARD, Page 8 Students Send Apology Letter To WSU Board Wayne State University's Board of Governors received an apolo- getic letter from students who or- ganized the anti-quarter system strike there last Friday. The letter conceded that fears of administrative reprisals were, as it turned out, undeserved. The students also apologized to the board and WSU President Clar- ence Hilberry for any embarrass- ment that the strike caused them. In replying to this letter, Hil- berry noted he had never seen a more dignified demonstration and the only thing that bothered him was the anonymity of the group. Board member Benjamin Bur- dick said, "in every new system, there is a period of time when ad- justments must be made. During this period we must have cooper- ation from faculty and students."

Miller explained that authors and playwrights, principally Ibsen and Shaw, broke the bonds that Puritan societies had placed upon literature, leaving the modern writer greater freedom to express every aspect of what he feels. He also noted that there are few if any restrictions on the form that art takes; the conventional modes of presentation need not be followed for the work to be accepted. Unique Position The combination of these two factors puts the modern writer in a unique and difficult position: he is freer than ever before but he no longer can deal with simple social values. He must search for human values, Miller explained. Human values are deeper, harder to root out, but they are there and need to be expressed, he, pointed out. "Willy Loman struggled for years with social values but he could never utter his real values. He died with them." Miller also said that there should be an audience for art dealing in human values, since "men are basically moral figures--not neces- Hopwood Awards MAJOR DRAMA: Milan W.
