STUDENT-FACULTY GOVERNMENT MOTION:
Tonight's SGC Debate Crucial to Campul

Negro Football Players
Will. ImproveSouthern Teams.

RECENT STATEMENTS by Southern college
officials that their schools will allow Negro
football players on their teams and in some
cases will actively recruit Negroes is a hope-
ful sign for the eventual integration of all
Southern colleges and for improved national
football competition.
The inclusion of Negroes on football teams
is a gigantic step towards full acceptance of
the right of any qualified stutient to attend the
college of his choice and participate fully in
its activities. There is a world of difference
between a situation where 'a Negro athlete is
accepted as a representative of his school
along with whites and a situation where James
Meredith is practically isolated from contact
with other students within the school. Volun-
tary acceptance of'Negroes because they can
fulfill a valuable service for a school will break
down the barriers of prejudice much more
quickly than the compulsory enrollment of a
James Meredith.;
,)OM NUGENT, head football coach at Mary-
land, has announced that Darryl Hill, a Ne-
gro halfback, has transferred to Maryland from
the United States Naval Academy and will
probably start for the Terrapins next season.
If Hill plays for Maryland he will be the first
Negro ever to play in a major sport in the
Southern dominated Atlantic Coast Confer-
ence.
Other conference schools are following Mary-
land's example. Wake Forest Coach Billy Hil-
debrand with the backing of President Harold
Tribble stated that he will actively recruit Ne-
gro players, "Our football staff will avail itself
of all top athletes who meet the high stand-
ards of Wake Forest' College," he said.
C. P. Erickson, North Carolina athletic di-
rector, made the statement that, "When we
recruit, we look for good athletes and good
campus citizens. We have never given consid-
eration to anything else." North Carolina State
reported that it has no plans to recruit Negro
athletes. Clemson, which admitted its first
Negro student this semester, South Carolina,
and Duke refused to comment on their policies.
OTHER SCHOOLS throughout the South have
indicated interest in Negro athletes under
certain conditions. Miami is currently consid-
ering Benny Blocker, a 6'5" Negro from Lan-
caster, S.C. In the past two years, Miami has
contacted two Negro players only to find they
could not meet the academic requirements for
admission.
According to Howard Grubbs, executive di-
rector of the Southwest Conference, there are
no conference rules concerning Negro players.
Conference schools have been playing against
teams with Negro players for years, he said.
The Southwest Conference is composed of
Baylor, Rice, Southern Methodist, Texas Chris-
tian, Texas Tech, Arkansas, and Texas. TCU
chancellor, M. E. Sadler, said, "We have Negroes
In our program now. I feel it is only a matter
of time until we follow this same practice in
athletics."
MOST RESISTANCE to any change in segre-
gated athletic policy is centered in a hard
core of schools, most of which are in the South-
east Conference. This league includes such na-
tional football powerhouses as Alabama, Mis-
sissippi, Georgia Tech, and Louisiana State.
Georgia Tech and conference members Van-
derbilt and Tennessee do not plan to change
their policies. The other teams in the league
have remained silent.
With more and more southern schools re-
cruiting Negroes, the schools which maintain
segregated teams are bound to be at a disad-
vantage. By excluding a whole group of ath-

Jetes from consideration, segregated schools are
unnecessarily limiting their choice of athletes.
It is true that several segregated teams are
constantly among the best in the country. But
by accepting, superior Negro athletes these
teams couldn't help but be improved. No team
can claim to be exerting its greatest effort
wher it arbitrarily excludes a group of players
for reasons that are not of an academic or
athletic nature.
HESE TEAMS which now can afford the lux-
ury of not having Negro players will not be
so fortunate in the future. As other teams re-
cruit Negro players and also white players that
segregated teams have limited their recruit-
ment programs to, the integrated, southern
teams will improve in relation to the segregat-
ed ones. An integrated team will have a clear
advantage over a segregated team by virtue
of its Negro players whenever it matches the
segregated team in hte recruitment of white
players.
It is significant that some of the schools
which are now starting to recruit Negroes are
not recognized as among the most powerful in
the South. But even moderately successful
teams like Miami realize that certain Negro
players can help a team no matter what level
of football prowess they have attained.
If the major teams in the South become
integrated, it will increase the quality of na-
tional football competition. Not only ,will the
southern integrated teams be stronger, stronger
competition will be available to them. Teams
which cannot now compete against non-south-
ern teams with Negro players will be able to
do so.
No longer wouldMississippi, for example, have
an excuse to put such "breathers" as Chat-
tanooga and Memphis State in their schedule
because they can't play against stronger teams
which are integrated. Ohio State, instead of
scheduling Texas Christian, and Michigan
State, instead of scheduling North Carolina,
could play the consistently better southern
teams like the previously mentioned Mississippi,
Alabama, Georgia Tech, and Louisiana State.
rr E ONLY PERSON so far to publicly ex-
press discontent with the trend in south-
ern schools to integrated athletics' is Negro
Coach Jack Gaither of Florida A & M. Coach
Gaither's teams have consistently been in con-
tention for the national Negro college cham-
pionship and 12 of his former players are in
the pro ranks.
"This concerns me a great deal," he said.
"They can take my boys, but I can't take theirs.
I know a lot of good white players I would
like to have on my teams."e
In the past, Gaither could have any outstand-
ing Negro high school player in Florida for his
team. But recently he has been losing players
to other schools. "I lost a good boy to Wichita
last year," he acknowledged. "I lost a great
back to Oklahoma State. Notre Dame and other
schools have been taking my boys."
Now that southern schools are lowering their
barriers to Negro football players, Gaither is
finding it increasingly hard to recruit in the
territory he once monopolized. But he is con-
fident that his school still offers advantages
which certain Negro players cannot obtain
elsewhere.
Gaither recognizes the trend of the future
and says he'll "make whatever adjustments I
have to make" to conform to it. It will be in-
teresting to see if coaches and administrators
of white segregated schools can make' as suc-
cessful an adjustment to the inevitable fact of
integrated athletic teams as this coach of a
Negro segregated school has.

is chairman of the SGC Committee
on the University.)
By RALPH KAPLAN
S D aily Guest Writer
LOATING AROUND the bubbly
world of student activities for
the past few months has been a
proposal about student-faculty
government. Originating in Stu-
dent Government Council's Com-
mittee on the University, the mo-
tion was circulated among several
vice-presidents of the University,
the faculty Student Relations
Committee and the Senate Ad-
visory Committee of the Univer-
sity Senate. Receiving cautious
but encouraging comment from
these groups, the proposal then
passed the ' Committee and was
sent to Student Government Coun-
cil in December.
As expected, the Council re-
ferred the motion back to the
Committee, so that both the poli-
ticking for the motion and the
process, of improving it could be
coninued.' Tonight the revised
motion, passed for a second time
by the Committee on the Univer-
sity, will come before SGC for a
critical test.
THE MOTION is divided into
two major sections, one advocating
a student-faculty government with
advisory power and one request-
ing the all-faculty University'Sen-
ate to place student representa-
tives on faculty committees of the
Senate. The first part of the pro-.
posal is considerably more con-
troversial than the second and
it is conceivable that only the
second portion will pass.
A central proposition of the mo-
tion's rationale is that the policies
which a university adopts can be
correlated with the method by
which a university is governed,
and student-faculty government
is intended to be both the most
democratic and educationally val-
uable means of discussing Uni-
versity policies.
One of the historical problems
that creates the need for student-
faculty government has been the
growing distance between faculty
and students. In the 13th century,
particularly at the University of
Bologna which was one of the
first great universities, there exist-
ed an ideal of community gov-'
ernment in which students had
a great deal to say about the
policies of the university. But as
universities became more bureau-
cratic and more organized institu-
tions, as sci olastic and scientific
activity created a wider knowledge
gap between teacher and student,
the notion of community govern-
ment began to fade.
Related to the fading of this
ideal of community. government
was the tendency to minimize the
role of the student in the Univer-

sity. The universities came to bc
institutions in which faculty and
administrators divided power. The
professor, who knew more about
his specialty than anyone else
around, imparted his knowledge
to docile students. The adinis-
trators, who knew more about
their institutions than anyone else
around, taught ; students the pro-
per way to run a university. This
division of power among, the elders
left the student little stake in the
major decisions of the community,
and in fact forced him to create
a world to his own, a world com-
posed in part of fake decisions.
which usually goes under the name
of student government.
* * *
A KEY to an understanding of
student government is that it
exists as one part of a student
sub-culture, a separate world
created by students who have been
given no major stake in the in-
stitutions they attend. Depending
on who you are it's a world of*
parties, "outside reading," artistic
activity, sitting in the, Union,
drinking coffee, working for SGC,
engaging in social action, writing
for the newspaper, loafing. Rarely
does this student world involve a
direct relation with the institu-
tion-in one way or another it is
extra-curricular, or peripheral to
the formal structure.
Student Government Council is
a strange amalgam of this stu-
dent world. It has consistently
mixed the brilliant student with
the inane, the articulate with the
illiterate. But over the years,
people have taken a harder look
at the Council and consensus is
that the quality of members is
going down fast.
An inevitable reason for this
decline is that the Council is a
political body in search not so
much "of issues, but of ways of
acting upon issues. What has hap-
pened is that Student Goyern-
ment Council has evolved a kind
of politics by expression of griev-
ance.
Look at themajor issues before
the Council over the last few
njears: the Lubin-Hall case in
which , SGC defended students
from arbitrary suspensions; the
case last spring when Student
Government Council decided not
to take a stand on the Board in
Control of Student Publications
action in regard to Daily appoint-
ments; several cases in which
Student Government Council has
expressed opinions on student af-
fairs policies but has not been
able to implement these opinions,r
only to hope that the administra-
tion in charge will implement
them.
* * *
WHAT HAS happened is that
SGC has aroused the most in-
terest when it has looked for

issues of national and interna-
tional political importance. Those
times when it debated a film by
the House Un-American Activities
Committee, and when it first de-
bated supporting Southern sit-ins
-have been precisely those times
when the Council temporarily
turned its back on University is-
sues. And as long as the Council
has only power of opinion, and an
opinion that is often not respected,
it cannot hope for a different
kind of situation.
There is a long history of argu-
ment about what factors create
the kind of student government
in a vacuum which we have been
describing. The size of the Uni-
versity, the emphasis on scholar-
ship and research, the centralized
administrative power, the bias
against a core curriculum and a
related core of common intellec-
tual background, the childish level
of student government campaigns,
the lure of student politics for
the insensitive-these are some
of the factors continuously em-
phasized. (All of them are com-
plex concepts and an involved
discussion of any of them cannot
be undertaken in the space of this
article.)
The immediate question is what
can one do in the present situa-
tion? For the Council's Commit-
tee on the University there was
little question that Student Gov-'
ernment Council i a floundering
organization which needed to be
replaced by both a new structure
and a new philosophy.,
* * *
ONE THRUST of the Commit-
tee's motion is that it is frankly
utopian, both in the rhetoric and
the proposals. It seeks in both to
restore to some measure in the
modern university the old ideal
of an educational community, in
which all members communicate
as partners in significant dialogue.
This is a tradition that has been
blurred by the recent history of
higher education, but the utopian
manner of thinking is still more
relevant in an educational in-
stitution'than in any other.
Related to the utopian emphasis
is the emphasis placed on educa-
tional issues as the central issues
that, should 'concern any, univer-
sity government. This emphasis
is vital because a major criticism
ofadministrators is their frequent
lack of educational philosophy
and educational values in decisions
that often seem expedient, and
sometimes repressive (for example
speaker bans, regulations of a
student's personal life, vacillating
policies on integration in both
the University and the commun-
ity.)
Student-faculty government,
which hopefully would provide for
public debate on educational is-
sues, is looked to as a means for
interesting the community in is-
sues that too often are decided in
small, unpublicized meetings whose
debates are known only by a select
group.
* * *
A THIRD ADVANTAGE ascrib-
ed to student-faculty government
is that it will to some extent in-
crease opportunities for student-
faculty contact. By providing for
a situation in which there is no
formal gap between the profes-
sor's and the student's knowledge,
such a government is intended to
break down the sharp distinctions

between students and faculty.
A fourth advantage of a stu-
dent-faculty government is that
students would be more directly
involved in University policy-
making than is presently the case.
By being placed with the faculty
whose views are generally respect-
ed, the students would gain more
respect for their own views and
it seems inevitable that a student-
faculty government would be in-
volved in much more significant
activity than concerns Student
Government Council at present.
A fifth, and in many ways the
most important advantage of a
student-faculty government, is
that it offers the most hopeful
alternative to the present student
government. By abolishing stu-
dent government and giving its
administrative and service func-
tions to the Office of'Student Af-
fairs, student-faculty government
would leave student leaders free
to discuss substantive questions
of University policy. No other al-
ternative to student government
seems as likely to combine the
ideals of debate over educational
issues and participation in an im-
portant governing body.
* * * '
ONE OF the major debates over
student-faculty government will
be the question of how much
power it should have. At the last
minute, the motion changed from
proposing a student-faculty body
to govern the University, to a stu-
dent-faculty body which would
have advisory powers only. The
change was made on the assump-
tion that the opinions of students
and faculty should be made into
University policy, even if the stu-
dent-faculty government wouldn't
have the power to make policy.
Another objection to the pro-
posal for a student-faculty gov-
ernment is that it will be 4, threat
to the concept of a decentralized
university. For this reason the re-
vised motion proposes a student-
faculty government that "would
make recommendations of those
matters of University policy that
affect all the schools and colleges."
It is assumed that problems re-
lating to a particular school and/
or college would be decided within
the school or college.
ONE PROBLEM with proposing
a student-faculty government is
that the idea can seem better than
it really is. Student-faculty gov-
ernmet cannot solve. the Univer-
sitie's problems; it can only hope
to provide for a structure ,that
would make it easier for those
problems to be solved. Before these
problems are solved, however, cer-
tain steps must be taken.
One is that. a form of govern-
ment must be created that will
attract a high level of interest,
provide for more' stimulating dis-
cussion than exists at present, and
attract the highest level of mem-
bership. It is hoped that student-
faculty government, due to ad-
vantages cites above, will be able
to attract this high level of mem-
bership.
* * *
THIS DOES NOT mean that the
concept. is without serious prob-
lems. In fact the government by
committee that is essential in any
large organizationwill doubtless
succeed in scaring away many stu-
dents and faculty who, could mae
a valuable contribution to Univer-

sity government. Another prob
lem will be the question of a legis.
lative body at the top of the pro-
posed student-faculty government
that would have to approve the
recommendations of any com-
mittees. This legislative body will
have serious debate as to the ef-
ficacy of any proposed size and
function.
xOne advantage of the motion in
its present form is that It sim-
plifies the question of structures
by modeling the proposal on the
current structure of the faculty's
University Senate. The major dif-
ference, in both educational phi-
losophy and the nature of discus-
sion,'is that the motion in effect
calls for adding large numbers
of students to this structure.
The debate tonight will be sig-
nificant ,for it comes at a time
when both the Council and the
University are faced with serious
problems of both operation and
leadership. It is no secret that the
University in many departments
has 'trouble attracting new talent,
that the financial problems are
still acute, that there is widespread
criticism of " administrative poli.
cies, and that there is widespread
ridicule of Student Government
Council.
One test of the Council's ability
to improve the situation of the
student body will be the action
and discussion tonight.
ANTIGONE:
*Papas,
E xcellent
SOPHOCLES' CLASSIC tragedy,
"Antigone," now being featured
at the Campus Theatre, is the
story of the fate which befalls
the ancient city of Thebes and its
inhabitants under the rule of the
tyrant king, Creon. The two sons
of the dead Oedipus had been
set against each other before the
action of the story begins; Eteo-
cles defending the city, Polyneices
in an army attacking it. Both die,
but Creon decrees that Eteocles
shall have a hero's burial, while
his brother shall be left to be
gnawed by the jackals. Anyolne
who violates this decree shall'die.
Antigone, the daughter of Oedi-
pus, is determined that her broth-
er shall be buried, so she departs
from the city to do so, but is
caught by the king's soldiers as
she sprinkle's her brother with
ritual dust. She is brought before
Creon, and told that' she must die.
"To whom shall I pray," she cries
out, "when death is the price of
piety?"
* * *
ANTIGON is led away to a cave
beyond the walls of Thebes, where
she is' to be imprisoned. She is
sealed in, and, Creor sits satisfied
on his throne:, "He who rules the
state must command obedience,
right or wrong."
"But if the man is evil and
unjust, he is unfit to rule" de-
clares one of the Elders. And this
turns out true; a seer makes the
prediction that unless the king
rights his wrongs, one of his house
will die before the, sun goes down.
"I feel I am ridinguon the road
to doom" declares Creon as he
goes to release Antigone. Too late
-she has hung herself, and is dis-
covered being embraced by Hae-
mon, reon's son and her be-
trothed.
The forces begin to close in on
Creon and.thercityy of Thebes
now, and the prophecy is fulfilled,
twice over. The end finds Cren
a broken man-"I yearn for
death"-leaving the city to wan-
der into the wilderness.
IRENE PAPAS) performs excel-
lently as Antigone; her part, how-
ever, is short, and I felt that the
more developed and in fact better

portrayal was turned in by Manos
Katrakis as Creon. His perform-
ance had a very great depth, as
the symbol of the laws of Man
opposing themselves (always fu-
tilely) to the laws of the gods.
His face at times seemed almost
like that of the classic Grecian
king one sees I statuary.r
An outstanding feature of "An-
tigone" was that it was photo-
graphed almost completely out-of-
doors, thus retaining the original
flavor of the play. It was also
shot in a ;simple style, black-and-
white, small screen, and with no
camera gimmicks. There were few
stylistic exercises such as close-
ups, fades, dissolves, etc. The mu-
sic accompanying the film was
perhaps a bit heavy, but this is
a minor fault at worst.
At any rate, we can all be happy
that MGM did not get a hoid on
the property, or we might have
seen it as filmed in Cinemascope
and color, starring Charlton Res-
ton as Creon and Sophia Loren as
Antigone. The consequences are
too horrible to contemplate.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR:
De. Gaulle, Indefensible
To the Editor:
PHILIP SUTIN'S EDITORIAL of last week, "In Defense of de Gaulle,"
contains a number of fallacies, omissions, and misstatements of
fact, leading to a regrettable endorsement of the French President's
ill-advised veto of British membership in the Common Market. The
fact remains, as de Gaulle has himself acknowledged, that his action
was motivated politically, not economically, having been triggered by

Whiskey Rebellion

BY THE TIME these words reach the public,
there should have been introduced in the
Michigan Senate a bill which would permit
he sale of liquor on Sunday in the city of
Detroit, a practice which is now illegal in that
ocality. Gov. George Romney has gone on,
ecord as saying that he would not veto such
measure if it reaches his desk, thus letting
t become law without his signature.
To be sure, much coitroversy arises from the
very nature of such a bill, delegating as it does
he authority to allow such sales in any city
o the governing body of that city. If such a
>ill passes, the resulting trade would supposed-
y boost convention business in Detroit to a
izable degree. If, on the other hand, the bill
hould fail, that result would elate supporters
if temperance.
It need not be a matter for overt concern if
he citizens of Detroit go out and get quite
[runk every Sunday if they so desire, since
nany of them undoubtedly would anyway,
vhether legally or otherwise. Nor need any per-
on decry the efforts of either the convention
nanagers or the temperance workers to sup-
>ort their particular side of the question. But
here is another aspect to this matter which
eems to have been overlooked by some.

of course the prerogative of any citizen in our
free society. But many of these people have
taken in their letters what seems to be fully
the wrong attitude toward the question at
hand. They have been writing to protest the
governor's decision on the basis that "since
Gov. Romney is a religious man, he should veto
this evil bill."
Now, it is one thing to write to a legislator
that such a measure should not be passed be-
cause it is unconstitutional or otherwise a bad
measure for the majority of the population.
But it is quite another to suggest strongly to
the governor of Michigan or any other state
that "if he does not veto such-and-such a bill,
on the basis of his own religious background
and beliefs, he is himself immoral," which is
exactly what some of these correspondents are
suggesting.
It is a known fact that Gov. Romney is in-.
deed a devout churchman, undoubtedly much
more so in fact than many of the hypocritical
individuals one might come across in the aver-
age church on any Sunday. He is in addition a
non-drinker and a non-smoker, saying that
such moral questions cannot be solved purely,
by passing a law; rather, they are questions
which each person must face for himself. As
Gov. Romney himself notes, "Such a law may

Britain's acceptance of Polaris
missiles. It is not true "that Brit-
ain has incompatible economic
commitments"; rather, the Brus-
sels negotiations had nearly reach-
ed successful conclusion, to the
especial satisfaction of the eager
British, when de Gaulle command-
ed the tide to stop.
The main economic difficulties
were over Britain's domestic agri-
cultural policy, which she had
agreed to overhaul to mesh with
the common EEC policy in time
for its institution in 1969, and
over special arrangements for the
nations of the Commonwealth.
Though British trade with her
Commonwealth partners has
shown an historic " decline, care
was taken to make or provide for
arrangements for all but 15 per
cent of Britain's imports from
the Commonwealth, and this, let
us emphasize, upon agreement
with the six. The obvious conclu-
sion is that Britain faced but one
insuperable obstacle to 'Iarket
membership: the intransigence of
de Gaulle.
DE GAULLE'S plans for Europe
require the development of a
"third force" in world affairs, led
by France and independent of
,both the American and British
(the 'Anglo-Saxons," in his term)
and the Russians. It is militarily
narrower than NATO, and its eco-
nomic and political sphere does
not include Britain, de Gaulle hav-
ing made this clear by inviting
Denmark and Spain in within days
after he uttered his non.
He alone among Western lead-
ers does not believe that successful
expansion of a Common Market
which includes Britain, expansion
in concord with the letter and
spirit of the Treaty of Rome,
cannot help but build a Europe so
strong and stable as to be an

(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first
of two articles discussing the pro-
posed merger between the Michigan
League and the Michigan Union.)
By LOUISE LIND
ONE YEAR AGO the Michigan
Union Board of Directors made
a proposal that may well crumple
the traditional structuring of stu-
dent affairs on this campus and
dictate their form for the next
half century or so.
*The Board proposed that a study
be initiated of the facilities, ser-
vices and activities of the Michi-
gan Union and the Michigan
League to determine whether there
might be other, more effective
means of providing their services
and to consider the possible de-
sirability of a merger between the
two organizations.
The Michigan League Board of
Governors, in agreement with the
action of the Union Board, assent-
ed to join in the proposed study.
A 13-member study committee
consisting of the executive officers
and faculty and alumni represen-
tatives from the governing boards
of both organizations was appoint-
ed and, chaired by Associate Dean
of the literary college James H.
Robertson, held its first meeting
'in October.
THE PROBLEM the committee
was charged to investigate was
a complex one.
Needs of the students served by
the two organizations naturally
differed widely from those for
whom the League was founded
in 1890 and the Union in 1903.
At the time of the inception of
the Teague Mary Butler Markley.

UNION-LEAGUE MERGER:
New Look at Activities

on campus had been for the most
part ignored by male students and
faculty ever since the admission
of the first woman in 1870.
* * *
REFERRING TO the establish-
ment of the Union, founder "Bob"
Parker wrote in the "Michigan
Alumnus" of May 22, 1926, "We
wanted an organization that would
be all-inclusive; we wanted a
medium for centralizing the
thought and effort related to our
general life and welfare; and we
wanted a home for that organ-
ization-a place where we could
meet and form those personal
contacts . . where, if you please,
we could more easily add one more
factor in the process of our edu-
cation."
United in the endeavor to build
a permanent home for student ac-
tivities, students undertook an en-
ergetic fund-raising program that
saw the opening of the original
unit of the Union in 1919 and the
League in 1929. The:Union and its
social projects were for many
years the center of activity for
male students, as was the League
for women.
Since their early beginnings, the
Union and the League have neces-
sarily undergone much change in
response to the changing needs of
the campus. Both organizations
have been restructured at least.
once and both have attempted to
keep their services, projects and
activities fluid enough to adapt to
changing student demands, re-
placing new activities for old
whenever needed.
In the tradition of this fluidity,
the Union was used as a mess nail
and barracks by the Student Army

ing room and recreational space in
1956. The League was remodeled,
and a basement dug for additional
space.
Yet despite a long history of
efforts to satisfy old demands and
met new ones, certain open ques-
tions still confronted the student
groups in 1962: What 'effect will
increased enrollment, the expan-
sion of North Campus and the
impending year-round operation
have on student activities? What
should the relationship be among
the newly structured Office of
Student Affairs, Student Govern-
