It expressed concern over possible inhibition of students' right to peaceful protest. The roll call vote was 10 to 4. "Operation Abolition" depicts the student demonstrations sur- rounding House Un-American Activities Committee hearings last May in San Francisco. The committee produced the film, which is com- posed of clippings from newsreels of the demonstrations, short speeches by members of HUAC, and a narration which attempts to * * * * * LOC FRO L RESIDE NT CL I ** S * * * OUSTER U 10 'A BIR RY' California To Act Against A TO1 Roll Callf In favor of the motion to condemn "Operation Abo i . tion": Panhellenic Association Pres- ident Barbara Greenberg, '61; Daily Editor Thomas Hayden, '61; League President Susan Kennedy, '61; Interquadrangle Council President Thomas Moch,'62; Student Government Council Administrative Vice- President Richard Nohl, '62- BAd.; Philip Power, Spec.; SGC Treasurer Arthur Rosenbaum, '62; Roger Seasonwein, '61. , Against the motion: James Hadley, '61; Union President Perry Morton, '61; Dennis Sha- fer, '63; and - Interfraternity Council President Jon Trost, '61.

The SGC motion does not con- done any student action in the demonstrations which was not in accord with non-violent precepts, but upholds the right of students to protest the activities and exis- tence of HUAC. Distorted Film The Council said it cannot con- done the action of the committee which in its distribution of a dis- torted film has also failed to act according to the traditions of hon- est analysis and due process which are necessary to the best function- ing of a free society." It further urges all students to become fully informed about the demonstIrations through reading matter, tapes and a recording of the demonstrations and hearings. An amendment proposed by Den- nis Shafer, '63, to delete the sen- tence ."SGC holds that the film 'Operation Abolition' unfairly ac- cuses students of subversive ac- tivity" failed. Also Defeated Union President Perry Morton's motion to include a statement that SGC's action was taken without full access to the facts was also defeated. Shafer questioned what SGC could accomplish by censure. "SGC has overstepped its bounds- in saying the film should not be shown," he said.." "We aren't censoring the film; we're simply saying it doesn't measure up to the standards it should, and expressing our ob- jection to its misrepresentations," Panhellenic Association President Barbara Greenberg, '61, comment- ed. Alters Rules On Calendar Student Government Council early this morning approved with- out dissent an executive committee motion to change University reg- ulations governing approval of stu- dent activities. The motion provides that rou- tine petitions to hold student- sponsored events may be approy- ed by the Council president. Ap- proval becomes effective 24 hours after notification of the event has appeared in the Daily Official Bul- letin. The revisions also strike from' the regulatikns booklet a contro- versial statement requesting that groups calendar 'their activities two weeks in, advance.' Several po- litical clubs had objected that they were unable to comply, and the Coucil had repeatedly explained that the statement was not a rule, but a suggestion. The Council approved a reso- lution by Philip Power, Spec, to endorse the idea of a Conference on the University, and assist the' planning and organization of such a conference. The motion mandates Council President John Feldkamp, '61, to send a letter to the Regents con- taining the endorsement, a pre- vious motion supporting .the idea of a conference, yesterday's Daily article discussing the Conference . and a request that the Regents endorse the Conference. The motion also mandates the president to contact members, of: University Senate Advisory Com- mittee and administrative officials for the purpose of formulating an all-University committee which will plan the conference as soon as possible. In executive session, SGC se- lected Prof. William Cave of the education school as a faculty member of the Committee on Membership in Student Organiza- tions. Prof. Cave will serve in the; place of Prof. Samuel Eldersveld. of the political science depart- ment, who is on leave from the University for the semester. Hatcher To Speak' The California Attorney-Gen- eral's office announced yesterday that it will ask the governing bod- ies of the state's public colleges to require the schools to with- draw recognition of local Alpha Tau Omega chapters. The decision was made the day after the ATO national expelled its Stanford chapter for pledging four Jewish students. ATO's con- stitution limits membership to those "of the white race who have accepted the Christian faith." Assistant Attorney-General (Franklin Williams said, "Since the national ATO feels so deeply about its membership restrictions to drop a chapter that violates them, it is naive to believe that they have any intention of re- moving the clause." Set Deadline (The State Board of Education has set a September 1, 1964 dead- line for the removal of bias claus- es in fraternities and sororities.) The state board has nominal con- trol over all public schools in California. Last Friday the Board of Trus- tees formally adopted a suggestion by Williams to withdraw recogni- tion from the ATOK locals if the national "penalized or disciplined" a chapter at a Calif ornia state school for violating its member- ship rules. (Stanford is a private institution.) Not Created The board of trustees, however, was not created until this year and the members will not take office until July 1.\"They can, however, express their intent of action as they did with this reso- lution," Williams said. Louis Heilborn, chairman of the board of trustees, said that an in- vestigation of ATO might con- ceivably be presented to the board. "This would arise if a general ex- pression of ATO's national policy was made" that indicated that a chapter must adhere to the bias clause. If a particular situation arose at any of the 'state schools which have local ATO chapters, "This would immediately come before the board," Heilborn said. Deputy Attorney General Rich- ard Mayers, Williams' assistant, said he is asking the trustees arid regents "to find out what is hap- pening on the state campuses." Mayer said that evidence must be shown of penalizing a chapter at a state school before the trus- tees would have power to act un-." der the proposal adopted on Fri- day. Regents Bylaw Missing By MICHAEL BURNS The search for a missing Re- gent's bylaw has uncovered a compounded crime of negli- gence. The detective story started when a casual scanning of the Regent's bylaws disclosed the fact that there is no bylaw numbered 8:04. An-8:03 exists. Likewise an 8:05. But no 8:04. Armed with this clue and in search -of censorous intrigue on the part of the administration, the question was tossed into the lap of Erich A. Walter, secre- tary of the University. Knits Brows Walter knitted his brows and then asked for the two tomes containing bylaws in force since 1948. The solution to the mys- tery was contained therein. He first turned to the com- piled bylaws as of 1948 and flipped the pages to chapter eight, which deals with student affairs, conduct and discipline. In 1948, Bylaw 8:04 existed. It dealt with concerted absences by students. Walter then examined the same chapter in the voluminous loose-leaf notebook which con tains all bylaws as of 1948 and subsequent additions and amendments added year by year. There he found old bylaw 8:04, under the alias 8:05. But no number 8:04. Unworthy Accomplice The truth was out. Bylaw 8:04 had merely dropped from sight and had reappeared as 8:05 with a secretary as an un- witting accomplice. But this discovery was not all, for the notebook showed two bylaws numbered 8:07. The confusion in cross reference resulting from the mis-numbering of these sec- tions is apparent. Walter confessed that the second 8:07 had been assigned the number 8:08 in the 1958 compilation and all higher numbers had then been elevated one morehnumberto compen- sate for the adjustment. Never Done But what about changing 8:05 back to 8:05? Well, this was never done, he admitted, be- cause of an oversight. Cross references still exist to a bylaw numbered 8:04, but these actu- ally refer to bylaw 8:03 which is an important section con- cerning general standards of student conduct, he explained. Walter promised that the false "numbers game" would be corrected in a compilation com- ing out shortly, but the mystery of the missing bylaw was solved. Bylaw 8:04's number was up. II MARXIST VIEWPOINT: Detroit Editor Traces Dialectic Says Kuenzel Cited No Specific Violation Morton Defends Manager's Action; Says Union Has Power 'of Expulsion By MICHAEL OLINICK and DAVID GEIGER An Ann Arbor resident last night charged he was ejected from the Michigan Union Grill on arbitrary grounds that he was a non- student, although he was accused of no disturbance. Joseph Harrison, a local real estate salesman, said that the Union's General Manager, Franklin Kuenzel, told him he had to leave the MUG because of a new policy that non-students and studying students were not to use 0 Greet Movie With Laughter BY The Associated Press "Operation Abolition" was greet- ed with outbursts of laughter when it was shown last night at Wesleyan University in Middle- town, Conn. Six hundred students waved American flags, sang patriotic songs and shouted such slogans as "We Hate Commies,"' to greet Fulton Lewis III, son of the ra- dio commentator and research analyst for the House committee, who accompanied the film. Red, white and blue streamers were strewn across the Wesleyan chapel by students who also rais-I ed deriding placards, Some wore red armbands with "DAR" inscribed on them. By HARVEY MOLOTCH If Marxism describes the world as it is totally, philosophy as a separate study at once loses all validity, Martin Glaberman, man- aging editor of the newspaper "Correspondence" said last night. Speaking at the Michigan Un- Duke Decides .To Integrate DURHAM 0?)-Duke University yesterday decided to admit Ne- groes to its graduate and profes- sional schools beginning next Sept. 1. The Board of Trustees passed a resolution saying "qualified appli- cations may be admitted to degree programs in the graduate and pro- fessional schools of the university, efective Sept. 1, 1961, without re- gard to race, creed or national origin." No Negroes presently are ad- mitted to Duke, a' Methodist school. ion in the first of a series of four lectures of modern Marxism, Glab- erman explained that just as He- gel originally asserted, to know anything totally-to arrive at its truth--is to destroy it. When men understand their world, philosophy becomes linked with action. At this point, man no longer needs to search for to- tal explanations but instead can act to change the old society into the coming .new one, Glaberman said. Claims To Know Marxism claims to know and understand society completely through the dialectical method which was originally expounded by the German "reactionary" philoso- pher Hegel. The method consists of three important dialectical laws, Glaber- man asserted. First, is the "law of interpretation of opposites" which refers to the phenomenon whereby "everything of signifi- cance contains its own opposites." The concept of capital contains within it the opposite concept of labor. This contradiction or clash is what moves capitalism forward through its accomplishments and pushes it ultimately to its own de- struction., Internal Clash Law number two-"transforma- tion of quality into quantity" - asserts that changes caused by the internal clash of opposites accu- mulate slowly, develop unseen, un- til the contradiction can no longer be held within and a resultant explosion takes place. The third law--"the negation of negation"-asserts that this in- evitable explosion results in the destruction of both sides of the contradiction and a totally new situation arises. But as these rules or guides for interpreting history are applied, one must be cautious to only ap- ply it to the current status of so- ciety, Glaberman warned. The validity of the dialectic and the truth of Marxism is in effect tested by experience. If the laws. of the dialectic do not actually conform to emperical reality, then they are void and Marxism is worthless. But by tracing history, the De- troit editor claimed, one can see the valid correspondence between the dialectic and actual events of the past and present. Zeder Notes Regent's Role James C. Zeder, Republican candidate for the University Board of Regents, outlined the role of a regent and presented his opinions on a variety of issues to the Young Republican Club at its meeting last night. "The Board of Regents is not a political plum, and a member has to be a businessman in order to handle the big business finances of the University and must have had previous contact with educa- til n- nr ar, iA at,... te that facility. "Kuenzel said there was no disturbance he could charge against me nor that my deportment was in violation of any code of behavior," Harrison said. "He said I ha'd to leave simply because I am not a stu- dent." Life Member Harrison said he was conversing with William Evans, a Union life member, when Kuenzal approach- ed him. He and Evans said they knew of one other person who was asked to leave yesterday and two who were ousted last month. Three of the. four men are Ne- groes. "The implication that racial bigotry is connected with this action is a false one," Union Pres- ident Perry W. Morton, '61, said last night. He said he was certain that the reasons Kuenzal actually gave Harrison for asking him to leave were the grounds for his ejection. Morton said that Union house rules defined the right of the management's discretion to deter- mine who is acceptable as guests. "The Union's function in the public realm is to serve anyone who would like to come-if he does not disrupt our services to our members," he said.' Morton said he could not specify why Harrison had been asked to leave, but that the Union had a policy to discourage use of facili- ties by those who would make the atmosphere "unpleasant." He said, however, that there is no policy specifically excluding certain individuals. Prof. Lionel Laing .of the poli- tical science department who is' chairman of the Union committee studying atmosphere said he knew nothing of the incident nor was he aware of any new policy to exclude non-students. General Problem (The general problem of im- proving atmosphere in the Union is being studied by a committee of Union Directors and other Uni- versity personnel.) Harrison said that when he asked Kuenzel why he had been singled out for ejection, Kuenzel told him his name had been "dis- cussed" and that Kuenzel was asked to bar him from the MUG. Harrison further charged that the Union managed threatened to call the police if Harrison did not leave the building. Kuenzel claimed there was noth- ing unusual in asking non-mem- bers to leave the MUG because this was an established policy.

Graebner (R-Saginaw) yesterday expanded his position on the size of the University by proposing that it and Michigan State University and Wayne State University all be limited to enrollments of 20,000. Graebner, a member . of the Senate app'ropriations committee, introduced a bill to the Senate Tuesday which would add two more years supported by the state to the present two-year Delta Col- lege located in the Midland-Sagi- naw-Bay City area. Graebner said'he felt there should be more smaller colleges and that he supported making Delta a four-year school so that it would draw students away from the bigger colleges. He said "many senators" agree with him on the size of the state universities. "I've tried to do it (hold down the size of large schools) on the appropriations bill, and the rest of the committee believes in it but won't do it." Regent Eugene Power answered Graebner's charges that the Uni- versity is too large, by listing seieral of the distinct advantages in size, including the "capacities for specialized equipment and faculty members. "The question of how big is too big is a very difficult one to de- termine. If you can have the same faculty ratio to students, adequate classrooms, laboratory and hous- ing facilities, the size isn't so much of a problem," he said. "Economy of operation, a cos- mopolitan atmosphere for stu- dents, and highly specialized equipment all go with size." Congo Chiefs Hold, Meetin In Malagasy TANANARIVE, Malagasy Re- public (M)-President Joseph Kas- avubu of the Leopoldville, central government yesterday was elect- ed chairman of a roundtable con- ference of Congo political leaders seeking a way to peace. Absent was Antoine Gizenga, who claims to be the political heir of leftist Patrice Lumumba of the Stanleyville regime in Oriental province. The conference's first action was to cable the United Nations ex- pressing a unanimous wish that the UN refrain from any action or new resolutions on the Congo while the roundtable conference is in session. Cn1adheoro Prodite PIC DISCUSSION: Panel Sees Government Medical Care By JANET WOLFE The United States must even- tually adopt the western European view that each individual is as entitled to a basic minimum of government - sponsored medical care as he is to food or shelter, a Political Issues Club panel agreed last night. Prof, Marvin Fussfeld of the economics department, supported by co-discussant Dr. S. Kleinman of Detroit, pointed to inadequate personnel and services in the face of a cost rising even faster than the demand. Changes in the basic technology of medicine, Prof. Fussfeld said, have resulted in a cost for medi- cal care four times greater than the cost at the end of World War II. One Physician Dr. Kleinman said there is onlyj one physician for every 950 peo- ple in our country. He refuted the in the back door by getting it first to the aged," on the grounds that those whose needs are greatest should be the first recipients. Dr. Kleinman supplied data: four- fifths of the people over 65 have incomes less than $2,000, and one- half receive less than $1,000. Prof. Fussfeld's support of med- ical care for the aged was based on his philosophy that because the individual contributes functionally to our social order, the govern- ment owes him something to keep him functioning. Dr. Kleinman, a strong advocate of government health insurance, said that the medical profession is being condemned by most pro- gressive elements in our society, mammemone £s r i': i;i:'i i tY'i *. ?'' . ii':}.k: a h2;+: %t:: ..n : : '
