Unanimous Vote Endorses Measure
Urging Greater Policy Making Role
By RICHARD KELLER SIMON
Studernt Government Council last night unanimously endorsed
the idea of a student-faculty government, and took preliminary steps
towards, its establishment.
SGC passed a motion from the Committee on the University re-
questing permission from the University Senate Advisory Committee
to appoint students to the "eight major policy-making committees"
of the Senate. This is designed to "involve students more actively in
University policy-making and to provide a means for testing the
feasibility of such a government."
Council will discuss the issue with University administrative units
includihg the 1,egents, the President and vice lRresidents of the
University, the deans' conference
Tand various committees of the
Sets Method University Senate.

Student Government Council
voted last night to choose four of
eight delegates to the United
States National Student Associa-
tion in a direct, campus-wide elec-
~tion.
All eight delegates are current-
ly selected by Council, which will'
continue to choose four delegates.
The motion, to go into effect for
the first time in Spring, 1964, is
aimed at the formation of a better
delegation to the. Congress.
The proposal, noted Howard
Abrams, '63, chairman of Coun-
cil's Committee on VSNSA, also
answers critics who felt that Uni-
versity delegates to former con-
gresses did not accurately repre-
sent the views of students.
In other action, the Council
passed a statement of criteria for
election of Regents,' which imple-
ments last week's motion of par-
ticipation in Regental elections.
Council accepted the statement
from its Committee on Regental
elections, which considered eight
specific problem areas, and added
an amendment relating to student
economic welfare.
Kenneth Miller, '64, in the
amendment which he presented,
asked that Regental candidates be
"aware of the financial problems
of a non-mobile student popula-,
tion."
The amendment noted three
possible areas of action, including
elimination of restrictions on stu-
dent enterprises, significant loios-
ening of the driver's code, and
higher wages paid to student help.

Ross Announce
Resignations
By ANDREW ORLIN
Student Government Council
President Steven Stockmeyer, '63,
and Council member Robert Ross,
'63, announced their resignations
at last night's SGC meeting, ef-
fective March 15.
The resignations thus boost to
seven the number of vacancies to
be filled in the March 13 all-
campus election for Council.
In a letter to SGC. Stockmeyer '
and Ross cited the crucial position
of and the need for "major al-
terations" in the forms and the
procedures of Council.
"We are not leaving a sinking
ship, but, rather opening up op-
portunities for new leaders," they
added.
i "mutual discussion and confront-
ation" than possible under class-
room conditions:
Major University issues would
be debated in public "by a gov-
ernment democratically elected
fromthe respective constituen-
cies."
ul
Issues Facing 'U'
Students would become actively
involved in discussing the educa-
tional issues facing the Univer-
sity.A
A student-faculty government
"would involve students and fac-
ulty more directly in University
policy-making than is presently
the case." This would be only in
matters affecting all the schools
and colleges.
In an amendment by Robert
Ross, '63,. the motion emphasizes
that SGC 'does- not. favor a stu-
dent-faculty government for stu-
dent affairs alone, but for "co-
operative government of Univer-
sity affairs, broadly conceived."
'Power Grab'
Committee chairman R a 1p h
Kaplan, '63, said that the motion
was more concerned with creat-
ing a community government and
to some extent a community life
than with arguing for a "power
grab" that would remove control
from the administration.
However, a student-faculty gov-
ernment might result in some loss
of administrative power, he added.
Council passed the motion on
the following principle:
"SGCbelieves that the ideal of
free interchange of knowledge
and belief is essential to the ef-
fective functioning of any edu-
cational community. In order for
such an ideal to prosper it is im-
perative that students and faculty
think of each other as joint mem-
bers in a community of scholars,
with similar concerns and abili-
ties.
Specialized Tasks
"Although it will inevitably be
true that faculty members will
have greater specialized knowl-
edge in their particular academic
discipline, this does not mean that
students are incapable of making
highly significant contributions to;
the less specialized task of gov-
erning the University."
The motion admits that stu-
dents have not always shown in-1
itiative in participating in aca-
demic and general institutional
policy-making, but it cites as a4
major cause the fact that Council
has been limited to student activi-i
ties and governing student organ-t
izations.,
SGC recognized the transitionall
problems and did not propose any
specific structure for such a gov-
ernment at this time. i
Democratic
Group Hits
IGOP Stands
By RICHARD KRAUT
and MICHAEL SATTINGER
The Democratic City Commit-
tee recently adopted a campaign
platform for the April 1 city elec-
tion, calling for a more "active,
intelligent and forward-looking
city government."
The platform charges that the
Republican-dominated city council
has often been inactive at "times
when action is mandatory."
For example, the Democrats
claim that the City Council Re-
publicans passed the new zoning
ordinance "after years of delay
e and only as a result of pressure
from groups of all kinds.
Non-Conforming
"During this period of calculat-
ed delay, land in the city was pur-
chased and immediately put to
uses which, under the new ordi-
* nance, are non-conforming and
largely undesirable."
However, the platform states
that "the new zoning ordinance
. can provide orderly growth
and development to the city if
properly administered."
With regard to administering
the ordinance, the Democrats
charge the city government with
"spot zoning" and "zoning favor-
itism."
Violated Spirit
In other areas, the platform
backs a charter amendment grant-
ing, legislative initiative and ref-
erendum. It also claims that "the
mayor, in his appointments to the
county Board of Supervisors, has
violated the spirit of bipartisan
representation called for in the
city charter."
The party asks thatathe char-
ter be amended to assure this
representation.
Another source of Democratic
disapproval was City Council's at-
tempt= to deal with violence in
Ann Arbor. It calls the anti-brawl-
ing ordinance that was proposed a
"threat to individual liberty."
Fair Housing
The Democrats also charged that
the Republicans have delayed ac-'
tion on a fair housing ordinance.
At their open public hearings
recently, city Republicans waived
the time limit to discuss the high-
ly controversial topic of fair hous-
ing. The human relations prelim-
inary plank stated, "We believe all
citizens of Ann Arbor should en-
joy equal protection of the law
and that no person should be de-
prived of his civil rights, his indi-
vidual freedom, or his property
rights.
Accordingly, we support action
including possible local legislation
to protect and preserve these
rights."
Platform Support
However, Prof. Karl Lamb of the
political science department pre-
sented a motion urging "support
of platform language 'which sup-
ports housing legislation this
year." The motion was passed 15-
2.
In the preliminary zoning and
planning plank, the Republicans
say they will continue study of
the newly enacted zoning ordi-
nance.
The city charter plank asks for
a vote on charter refinements no
later than spring 1964. The party
sees no need for general revision
of the charter as it now stands.
The Republicans' civic improve-
ment plank pledges that "future
expenses not within the city's
operating budget must be brought
before the people for approval.
Ann Arbor faces major expendi-
tures for the central business dis-
trict and a Huron parkway.

LANSING - Vice-President for

mittee hearing yesterday.
Gov. George Romney's capitali
outlay proposal included funds to
complete the heating plant re-
modeling, Institute of. Science and
Technology Bldg. and the new
music school.
Vice-President Pierpont asked
for $500,000 for planning for the

and $2.5 million for actual con-
struction. It will be ready for con-
struction this summer.
In the planning stage, Medical

sities are seeking name changes
from the state Legislature.'
For MSU's part, East Lansing
officials are proud of the new
arrangement and they aret
"very particular" about getting 1
the new name right.f

hat the University could begin a
'pilot four?year program at Delta
by next September, if the processes
can be worked out quickly."
Meanwhile, Rep. Raymond C.
Wurzel (R-Port Huron) said that
his bill endorsing the opposition
Jamrich proposal to the Univer-
sity-Delta plan would come up for
discussion in committee next week.
He denied that Gov. George Rom-
ney had asked him to stall the
bill in committee until his pro-
posed "blue ribbon" committeeron
education had formulated a mas-
ter plan for education in the state.
Legislative Questioning
The President's request for $50,-
000 was a spur-of-the moment de-
cision, followingg intensive Legis-
l ative questioning about the ex-
tent of the University's planning
on the thumb-area college.
"The University is not in a
hurry" to establish a center at
Delta, President Hatcher indicated.
Both President Hatcher and
Vice-President Niehuss have in-{
dicated that the University would
submit any mutually agreeable
plan reached by Delta College and
the University to the Legislature,
as soon as it is ready.
No Grass Underfoot
"No grass will be growing under
our feet in pursuing to a logical
conclusion these explorations,"
President Hatcher told the Bay
City Junior Chamber of Com-
merce Tuesday night.
Vice-President'Heyns explained
to the Appropriations Committee
yesterday that there are two main
areas in which the University and
Delta are trying to solve. First,
an agreement must be reached
on how to govern the new four-
year college. Delta College, as a
two-year community college, would
be preserved as it is, he'main-
tained.
A completely new four-year
school would be established in con-
junction with the community col-
lege. The Regents, who would have
ultimate authority over the pro-
posed four-year center, would ap-
point a governing board, perhaps1
drawing members from the Delta
Trustees, Vice-President Heyns
said.
Wrong Term
"The word 'merger' is not the
correct term to explain the Delta-
University proposal," he maintain-
ed.
The second area of concern,
according to Vice-President Heyns,
is creating an "intellectual com-
munity," in which there would be r
a certain interchangeability of fac-
ulty between Delta and the four-
year center. The idea of "mutually
supporting staffs" would benefit
both institutions, he indicated. 11

Calls IST Projects
Key To Strengthening
Economy of State
By GAIL EVANS
Special To The Daily
LANSING - The University
pushing the advantages of Uni-
versity research for the state, ask-
ed for $1-1.5 million additional
funds for the Institute of Science
and Technology at the Senate-Ap-
propriations Committee hearing
with University officials yesterday.
Research at the University is the
"unique key to strengthening the
economy of the state," University
President Harlan Hatcher told the
committee in his plea for more
state funds.
The University produces an un-
matched number of productive
projects which give °more returns
on every state dollar spent than
offered by any other state univer-
sity, he emphasized.
Additional Funds
The University's hearing yester-
day provided official opportunity
to ask for additional state funds
and a reconsideration of Gov.
George Romney's budget request
of $38.2 million for the Univer-
s ty.'1 2
President Hatcher said Rom-
ney's $6.1 million increase for
education in the state does not
meet the urgent needs before the
state. The proposed $1.55 million
increase over last year's appro-
priation for the University will
cause the University "to lose a
little ground when it should ad-
vance," he told the senators.
The University had requested a
$7.2 million increase over last
year's appropriation.
Re-examine Budget
President Hatcher said he rec-
ognized that the $6.1 million fig-
ure for education may be frozen;
but he urged the committee to re-
examine other parts of Romney's
budget for the needed funds for
IST.
"I'm quite distressed that the
proposed budget contains no pro-
visions for the on-going, job-
creating, research. It really puzzles
me that in planning for Michi-
gan's commercial and economic
]health, there is no provision for
this one going and creative cen-
ter," he commented.
The $1.55 million increase for
the University does not give rec-
ognition to the University's re-
search potential, officials indicat.

Hall Denies Communists
Want Violent Overthro
NEW HAVEN (P)-Communist leader Gus Hall told a somewhat
skeptical audience last night that Communists are not interested in
a violent overthrow of the American government.
He termed such a concept infantile.
Hall spoke to an audience of 400, concentrating his remarks onI
what he called the difficulty of being a Communist in the current
American political atmosphere. His talk was interrupted at times byI
- scattered hoots and catcalls, but
he was given generally warm, if
somewhat brief, applause at his
introduction and after his appear-

Ross and Stockmeyer gave three
specific reasons for their resigna-

to be filled by Council in the fall.
They also cited "personal" and
academic reasons for the resigna-
tions.
