The statewide election for the two open posts will be held Aprit f3)ubsi~ssans'By MICHAEL BURNS James C. Zeder, a University engineering graduate, believes in a "uiesa' approach" to educational administration. But besides his business training (former vice-president of Chrysler Corp.), Zeder brings into the cimpaiign an extensive record of educational service. He is presently a vice-president and trustee for Michigan State University-Oakland, a Univer- sity of Detroit trustee and chairman of the Board of Governors r of the University's Phoenix Memorial Project.s In the area of student attitudes, the Republican nominee1 4candidly admits aslack of specific knowledge. He feels primarily that an institution has an obligation to provide the best edu- cation available for "the high-caliber students necessary for our modern=world." What is good for business is not necessarily good for edu- cation, Zeder cautions. He stresses the need for increased co- operation between the two, as in the Phoenix Project, where educators and businessmen have joined forces. Both Would Benefit Zeder feels that both a scientist and an engineer would help the Board of Regents to aid the University in gaihing pres-{ tige through areas of research. He sees the University as the research center of the Midwest. "Progress follows research," he maintains. "We must peddles ideas" through increased research. The Regent must be an educator as well as a business man, l Zeder says. He should work toward providing the "education of the whole man-the complete man-development to the fullest of his mental and spiritual and social faculties." z Active Role, Zeder believes 'in an active role for the Board. It "should not wait for items to come to their attention, but should gather , information" and discuss it at the meetings. He declines to name any specific areas, adding "I'm not on the job yet." ' A heavy-set man in his sixties, Zeder enters state politics for the first time in this. election. His accomplishments in the business world have won him acclaim before his retirement last year. He has been credited with many automotive "firsts" while a serving in the Chrysler organization. .A 1922 mechanical engineering graduate of the University, Zeder also holds an honorary doctor's degree from his alma mater, and from two other universities. Intensely Interested Zeder is intensely interested in the administration of edu- cations his involvement in other educational boards illus- trates. He has been active in numerous civil affairs in-his home community of Bloomfield Hills. He is married and' has two sons and two daughters. His term on the board of governors of the atoms for peace Phoenix Project has given him an insight into' an important area of the University-"the inter-relationship of r industry and universities." "Business follows research," he emphasizes.

The motion grew out lof a program including the film itself, Soviet Leader Sees President WASHINGTON (A'}-Soviet For eign Minister 4ndrei Gromyko echoed at a momentous White House conference yesterday Presi- dent John F. Kennedy's bid for peaceful solution of the ominous crisis in Laos. An air of hpe--liberally laced with wait - and - see caution- seemed apparent around the exec- utive mansion after the hour-long talk. Speedy Soviet acceptance of a cease fire between the warring forces in the tiny, remote South- east Asian kingdom became more vital than ever to peaceful easing of the situation there. In even, carefully measured words, Kennedy laid that point on the line to the chief of the Soviet foreign ministry. For his part, Gromyko laid heavy emphasis on cautioning Kennedy O, .e Infiltrate'Uj', Writer Says McGriff Promises To Find 'Something' By MICHAEL OLINICK EXpose Subversive . .. FOR MSU: Hannah Presents Growth Program The Southeast Asia Treaty Organization foreign ministers yesterday in Bangkok said they were prepared to take all neces- sary steps to prevent Commu- nist capture of Laos. In Vientiane, the pro-West- ern Laotian government called on SEATO to settle the civil war that is the focus of the East-West opposition in the kingdom. And in Washington, the State Department said that the American transport reported missing in Laos had been shot down over rebel territory. Details and picture on page three. that there should be no overt ac- tion until the Soviet, government has replied to a British proposal to bring an end to the civil war in Laos in two steps: 1. Imposition of a cease fire policed by an international con- trol commission. 2) An international conference to try for a permanent, peaceful settlement. Gromyko apparently was trying to head off any military interven- tion by the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization, whose foreign min- isters opened a three-day session yesterday in Bangkok. Kennedy and Prime Minister Harold Macmillan of Britain con- ferred at Key West and reported. what was described as "absolute agreement" on Laos. There were scattered signs that Russian Premier Nikita S. Khrush- chev is beating a retreat from any idea of leaping over the Laotian brink into a'war that could em- broil the world. The not-unfriendly tone Gro- myko used after conferring with Kennedy was one bit of evidence. Another straw which may indi- cate a favorable direction of the Russian wind came in an article in; Pravda which said the Soviet Union will welcome negotiations. Communists have infiltrated many of the nation's colleges, in- cluding the University and Wayne State University, a Detroit news- paperman has charged. In a 38-page pamphlet called "Commies on the Campus" re- leased last week, Floyd McGriffl is attempting to "bring to the at- tention of those interested in set- ting up counter forces to leftists, Communists and other un-Ameri- cans on our campuses the facts about subversive infiltration." McGriff, who identifies himself as an editorial adviser to his son Jack's Detroit Suburban News- papers, cited the House Committee on un-American Activities' 1954 investigation of faculty as an in- dication of Communist influence within the University. Attacks WSU While admitting he was un- familiar with present University atmosphere, McGriff said, "Give me two weeks (of investigation) and I'll tell you something. He attacked the WSU adminis- tration for its opposition to ROTC and for lifting a ten-year-old ban against Communist speakers. "WSU has opened the doors to a million dollar soapbox from which leftists can spew and spawn parts of a Communist creed with- out opposition." Too Immature Although he believes college stu- dents are too immature to listen to Communist propaganda, McGriff does not oppose debates on the merits of the Soviet system. "I would like nothing better than to see Khrushchev answered by some- one like Henry Cabot Lodge." The newsman criticized unreal- istic professors who experience is too limited to be effective teachers. "You have some of these profes- sors whb have done nothing but read books and read more books and don't know anything trying to. teach our young people." He related his personal back- ground to his analysis of the poli- tical situation, at WSU. McGriff claims to have studied communism in Detroit for 25 years after serv- ing with American forces in Rus- sia in 1919. He also wrote a thesis on Karl Marx in 1911 when he was at Indiana State University. LANSING (JP)-President John A. Hannah of Michigan State Uni- versity yesterday outpined a seven-point program to help MSU meet "the growing problems of financing and rising enrollments." The proposals, affecting the undergraduate level mainly, were ex- plained at a meeting of the MSU faculty and staff last night. The plan, Hannah said, will be presented. to the board of trustees at its March 31 meeting. The first proposal is to encourage students to as- +sume progressively more responsi- for their own learning, through-among other things - "far more comprehensive" advis- ing by the faculty. Others include: Facilitating learning by defin- . ing educational objectives more concretely and specifically and or- .'::>>ganizing courses and curricula to serve the purposes of the students. Redefining the responsibilities of faculty members with reference to rank and the most productive use of their time.

JOSEPH MOBUTU ... rebel defeat? Rebels Win Congo Fight. STANLEY VILLE (-) - An of- ficial of the rebel regime of An- toine Gizenga said yesterday troops under Congo Maj. Gen. Joseph Mobutu suffered a crush- ing defeat in an attempted inva sion of Orientale Province March 8. . Bernard Salumu, district com-' missioner of Stanleyville, capital ,of Orientale, said Gizenga forces killed 116 Mobutu soldiers and captured 800 In the fighting. Salumu, who was secretary to slain ex-PremierPatrice Lumum- ba, said the battle took place near Bumba in adjoining Equator province. Mobutu left Leopoldville for the uper Congo last January, osten- sibly to lead a military expedition against the Stanleyville regime. He returned March 18 but made no mention of any fighting. He was known to have gathered troops at Lisala, an eastern Equa- tor town near Bumba. Salumu in an interview-repeated a Gizenga demand that the Con- golese parliament be reconvened. Mobutu suspended parliament af- ter Lumumba was desposed last year. Salumu suggested that parlia- ment meet in a neutral country, preferably Sudan. If it were to meet in 'the Congo, he said, the United Nations command should provide protection. "Otherwise, Mobutu forces could attack parliament and the UN would not interfere, claiming it to be an internal affair," Salumu said. ChSaSys- List Names Professo rs Refuses to Specify f Group Includes Michigan Faculties By JOHN ROBERTS Sgt. Stanley Olczak, chief of state police subversive squ hinted last night that there n be a public exposure of pers identified as former 'members subversive groups, including unspecified number of college p fessors. He also repeated his charge t there are some 300 Communists the state, but refused to sayif of these were members of coll and university faculties., ' The subversive squad, esti lished ten years ago and operat in relative secrecy, maintains f on suspect organizations to fac tate security clearances, Olc explained. State agencies and d partments are informed of a employe Who has a questions background. Nothing Serious In the case of a universiy, a quest for informtion must usua be made by the institution befp it is relayed. Olczak would not. if the University had in the p requested such information. H ever, Vice-President and Dean Faculties Marvin Niehuss said y terday that rumors had b ' checked out with the squad on t or three occasions, with nothi serious uncovered. When asked if. any action w taken by the subversive squad o an investigation was complet Olczak replied, "We haven't tak any yet. I have to discuss t with the state attorney gener We may expose the persons volved." He added that public lists of t nature are already available, a cited reports of the House U American Activities Committee a a register published by the "C cuit Riders" as examples. No Definition Olczak did not explain how so and in what manner a public e posure might be made. Earli however, he had indicated t1t action might not be taken "rig now," unless there are crimir charges we can prefer." Olczak offered no definition "subversive." He said that t United States Attorney Genera list was "a part" of the squa file, but would not identify other sources of suspect na and organizations. "We're not lowed to reveal the information1 our files," he explained, Olczak affirmed that hisnsqu has decided to bring its activiti out into the open. "We propose meet before groups and schoolst discuss Communism," he said, a ding that appearances had alread been made at four high schoo Two movies are shown at the appearances: "Communism on t March" and "Operation Abolitio' The squad has "not yet" a peared in elementary and gra schools. Olzak said he doubte that the presentation would "mei anything" to persons so young.
