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.

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. Stoemneyer,. 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. * For * * * 4sks Additional Fund, Research at Institute PRELIMINARY PLANNING: Hatcher Requests Delta Appropria tion Special To The Daily LANSING-University President Harlan Hatcher asked the Sen- ate Appropriations Committee yesterday for $50,000 for preliminary planning to establish a branch four-year campus at Delta College. In answer to questions President Hatcher said that "it is just Coait tee Hears Plea within the realm of possibility t Presents ' Outlay Plan Special To The Daily LANSING - Vice-President for Business and Finance Wilbur K. Pierpont presented the Univer- sity's capital outlay requests at the Senate Appropriations Com- 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 Engineering-Fluid Dynamics Bldg. and $2.5 million for actual con- struction. It will be ready for con- struction this summer. In the planning stage, Medical Science Unit II is first on the Uni- versity's list.. He asked for $400,- 000 for planning. The Dental Bldg. with $300,000 for planning and funds for the proposed new Archi- tecture school were next on the schedule, he commented. A Rose Is a Rose ... Special To The Daily LANSING - Michigan State ' University has changed the, name of its Oakland branch from MSU-Oakland to Oakland University, but legislative re- action was distinctly cool to the whole matter. "Rather inconsiderate,"j Speaker Pro-Tem of the House Wilfred G. Bassett (R-Jack- son) said yesterday, noting that other state colleges and univer- 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 "Let's get all the names right in that case," chuckled one leg- islature. "I seem to recall that9 MSU's real name is somewhat1 more than they let on." State's real moniker?-The Michigan State University of Agriculture and Applied Science. * * * 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 CRESTATRON-University President Harlan Hatcher holds a crestatron, developed by University researchers to counteract enemy radar. Sen. Frank D. Beadle (R-St. Clair) and Sen. Stanley G. Thayer (R-Ann Arbor) watch the demonstration at the Senate Appropriations Committee hearing with the Univer- sity. House To Vote on Proposed Anti-Subversive Resolution Special To The Daily LANSING-The joint resolution from Rep. Richard A. "Honest, John" Guzowski (D-Detroit) will be voted on in the House today. He filed notice yesterday that the proposal prohibiting the use of state-supported educational facilities for speakers advocating sub- version would report out of committee. The proposed amendment to the existing state constitution states that: "Every person may freely speak, write and publish his sen- - - .-- ? * * timents on all subjects, being re- sponsible for the abuse of such right; and no law shall be passed to restrain or abridge the liberty of speech or of the press.

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. ed. Originate IST Vice-President for Business anc Finance Wilbur K. Pierpont said that the state originally provided funds to start IST and this year's capital outlay requests include funds to complete the new Science and Technology Bldg. However, now the University is worried that the state will not follow through on this project, he inle~el i..Pres elnt P rnn lic funds shall permit any of its The Michigan Union Board of facilities, building, grounds or Directors will meet at 7:30 p.m. sanctioned organizations to be today to consider three motions. usedas spakig o deonsra- The first motion proposes an used as a speaking or demonstra- extension of the Union check- tion forum by any person advocat- cashing service to women stu- ing, teaching or urging subver- dents, faculty and staff members. sion."

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- ance. Rested Leadership Ross and Stockmeyer gave three specific reasons for their resigna- tions. They noted that "it has. become increasingly evident in the past year that Council leadership has rested on ' us in the main. Ross and Stockmeyer will grad- uate in June and leave two seats to be filled by Council in the fall. They also cited "personal" and academic reasons for the resigna- tions. Of the other Council members, Michael Kass, '65, has decided not to seek a second term. Ken Miller, '64, and Howard Abrams, '63, have not yet decided whether to seek another term.
