STATE CONVENTIONS:
New Party Leaders Emerge
By JAMES SEDER
There were major changes In
the leadership of both Republican
and Democratic parties last week-
end.
New state chairmen were chos-
en by both conventions at their
nominating conventions for the
bi-annual spring elections. The
Democratic change will probably
mean little in terms of policy, but
the change in the Republican par-
ty may be quite significant.
Neil Staebler, the Democratic
chairman for the past ten years,
voluntarily stepped down to al-
low Gov. John B. Swainson to
choose his own party leader. Law-
rence Lindemer, the Republican
chairman, who has been closely
associated with Paul Bagwell and
the liberal Republican group, also
stepped down.
Staebler was an early supporter
of former Gov. G. Mennen Wil-
liams. Working in close associa-
tion with Williams, Staebler
brought about a major reform in
the Democratic party. When Wil-
liams was first elected, there was
virtually no cohesion in the par-
ty, and, in many areas of the
state, there was almost no party
Board Votes
To End Bias
At Oregon
The Oregon Board of Higher
Education has given icollege fra-
ternities and sororities a two-year
deadline for ending racial and re-
ligious discrimination.
Any chapter which is still re-
quired by its national chapter to
practice discrimination will lose
recognition after Jan. 1, 1963.
The board, which supervises op-
eration of Oregon's six state-sup-
ported colleges, said only a few
fraternities and sororities still
have restrictions against minority
groups.
At the University of Oregon, As-
sistant Dean of Men L. A. Man-
gles called the actions "surpris-
ing." Citing the progress made and
"the support and confidence given
to fraternities and sororities by
the dean of students, the dean of
men, "I am set back that they
found a deadline necessary," Man-
gles said.
Gary Rothenberger, president of
the University of Oregon clgapter
of Sigma Chi, one of the fraterni-
ties affected by the deadline, said,
"The national office is well aware
of the situation in Oregon and
over the country, and I am sure
that this problem will be discussed
and will be definitely be on the
agenda for the grand council this
summer.
"We are naturally deeply con-
cerned with the future of this
local chapter and will according-
ly."
Representative
Set To Speak
At YR Meeting
United States Representative
Gerald Ford (R-Mich) heads the
list of speakers to be presented by
the Young Republicans this se-
mester.
Rep, Ford, who was under ser-
ous consideration for the Republi-
can Vice-Presidential nomination,
will speak at 4 p.m., Feb. 14.
The first of three colloquia on
labor and economic problems will
be held Feb. 16. Foreign affairs
and civil rights will be the other
colloquium topics.
YR President Steven Stockmey-
er, '63, said that prospects also
look good for a "big-name" speak-
er this spring.
organization at all. The state was
virtually controlled by Republi-
cans.
The Democrats now hold all po-
sitions on the state Administra-
tive Board (governor, lieutenant
governor, attorney general, secre-
tary of state, treasurer, auditor
general, superintendent of public
instruction, and highway commis-
sioner), and two United States
senators. There are Democratic
majorities on all higher educa-
tional policy-making boards and
justices nominated by Democratic
conventions (for the non-partisan
judicial ballot) are in the major-
ity on the state Supreme Court.
The November election marked
the first time in many decades
that the Democrats had put up a
slate of candidates which covered
every office available. Staebler
was also the leader of what is
known in the Democratic party as
the "Ann Arbor coterie." This
is a group of Ann Arbor and De-
trbit intellectuals who have pro-
vided much of the "brains of the
party" and many of the concrete
legislative programs of the Wil-
liams administration.
