LXXVI, No. 34S ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, TUESDAY, JUNE 21, 1966 SEVEN CENTS FOUR PAGES Campus, Social Issues Deeply Involve Stud ents EDITOR'S NOTE: There is a rest- lessness and turbulence on many American campuses, but to label the entire college generation as ir- responsible is to miss the point. Many observers say the student population is well prepared, serious, hardworking and concentrating on academic work. Here, in a special article, Roger V. Heyns, chancellor of the University of California, Berkeley and former University Vice-President for Academic Affairs --site of many student rebellions in the last couple of years-presents anassessment of the present college generation. By ROGER W. HEYNS Chancellor, the University of California, Berkeley For The Associated Press The present generation of American college students is not easily characterized. There are more than 2,000 colleges and uni- versities with more than five mil- lion students. They can't be put into simple categories any more than their parents or the homes from which they come. Some categorizing is unavoid- able, however, in response to the interest and worry of the general public about what ishappening on the nation's campuses. Social scientists, journalists' polls and university administrators have been trying to describe the college scene. These observers, in spite of their differences in viewpoint and method, have reached a remark- able degree of agreement. The vast majority of students respond industriously to academic demands. They are better pre- pared, have better work habits and work harder than the stu- dents in the 1930's for example. Because academic demands are heavier, their extracurricular life is less active and what there is of it is likely to be personal and in- dividual rather than organiza- tional. Traditional student organiza- tions are often weak and many events, such as the spring weekend or the junior dance, are smaller and less well run. This trend may not mean that most students are passionately devoted to the life of the mind. It does mean that the organization is less important to th estudent. The parents of these young people show a similar drift from organizational life to private individual activity. Many in every student body are planning a career that calls for education beyond the bachelor of arts or bachelor of science de- grees. Graduate or professional school lies ahead. This gives satis- factory academic performance a' significance that it did not have in previous generations. Dr. Ken- neth Keniston of Yale has called this large group of students the. "professionals." The professionals are intent on becoming the experts our society seems to need. So far then, all observers de- scribe a student population that is well prepared, serious, hard- working, concentrating on aca- demic work, and giving little at- tention to much of the organiza- tional extracurricular college life that used to be very much a part of the college scene. None of this, of course, ac- counts for the restlessness, the turbulence of many of the cam- puses of America. The calm de- votion to learning certainly does not adequately describe the scene at many of our 2,000 campuses, and particularly the large univer- sities. Students are participating in the social and political discussions of the time with what may indeed be additional vigor and intensity. But even here we need perspective. The Viet Nam war makes an enormous difference. For the col- lege generation, the war is not an academic matter; in a matter of days or months the discussion turns into active involvement for many young men. Moreover, the nation itself is not single-mindedly dedicated to the war in the way that it was to the overthrow of hated dictatorships of the 40's; this dedication gave meaning to the participation of young men and women. The debate and the turmoil inside the university is part of the same debate that is taking place outside, but it has understandably greater shrillness and urgency in the university. The civil rights issues and its campaigns also give the campus. intensity, unrest and vigorous in- volvement. Here again, the uni- versity both reflects and leads the society in which it lives. The sen- sibilities of all of America about legal, social, and economic in- justices for minorities, and espe- cially for Negroes, were slow in awakening. In the last five years students have joined civil and religious leaders and have played an im- portant role not only in dramatiz- ing the issues but in effecting changes in our social order. It is true that the student of today has more interest in the social prob- lems of his time than did the stu- dents of previous generations, but it is important to recognize that this heightened awareness also characterizes the society at large. This generation of parents is also more sensitive than its predeces- sors to the problems of race, pov- erty and medical care. All observers agree that the students with these social con- cerns- and the desire to put their ideas into action are by and large serious, responsible and idealistic. The number who are truly alienat- ed from society and basically hos- tile are few in number. They are, however, usually present in the social action projects of the stu- dent activists and they give these events the mixture of idealism and belligerence that makes coming to terms with them difficult. As Dr. Keniston points out, the activists tend to be moralistic and very personal in their efforts at social reform. Their objectives are usual- ly short run and they often require only a minimum personal com- mitment. It is easier to picket for a few hours than to undertake to tutor an illiterate or a drop-out for many hours over many weeks. The activists and their tempo- rary allies, the genuinely hostile, are relatively few in number but they have a special appeal to the larger body of students. They call attention to important causes and valid social problems. Aggressive Toward Authority They have an aggressive attitude toward authority figures which, while frightening to some students, is nevertheless attractive.

Co-chairmaned by Simon Casady, former head of the Cali- fornia Democratic Council, and Julian Bond, the conference serves as a trainee program in sophisti- cated campaign work techniques for peace candidates. PaulrBooth, outgoing National Secretary of SDS, explained yes- terday that the school acts as a "building base" for the new poli- tics and will be a meeting for members of various new left in- dependent political groups. The program is sponsored by the Na- tional Conference for New Politics and, Booth said, "has had enough impact that President Johnson re- cently denied its importance." Speaking tonight at 8 p.m. in the Union will be Robert Scheer, a radical peace candidate from California. Scheer's appearance here will be sponsored by Voice, the University's SDS chapter. From the meeting of the SDS National Council, which began last Wednesday with two days of work- shops and discussions on power, coalitions, and recent protests across the country, came a strong statement on the draft. Booth summarized the statement by not- ing that the council, which de- velops programs and sets priori- ties, called for "continued direct action against the draft along the same lines as in other SDS-begun movements." "Fundamentally," Booth said, "we are attacking the universities voluntary participation in the war in Viet Nam." He defined 'partici- pation' as being primarily making class rank and grades available and permitting the Selective Serv- ice draft examination to be given, on college campuses. Booth noted the setback which the status of the Selective Service received late last week when Wayne State University President William R. Keast announced that the school will cease to determine class standings of undergraduate students. This policy decision by Wayne officials, said Booth, is "the first. and we expect that the University of Michigan will follow suit in the: near future." "In the fall," Booth continued, "the campaign to change draft procedures will be stepped up. Demonstrations this spring such as those in Wisconsin, Chicago and: New York have been merely pre- ludes. We expect to win," he em- phasized, "and to see concrete changes in the near future rath- er than to achieve only symbolic victories." Further action of the Council included the election of Jane Ad- ams, former member of SNCC and current regional SDS organizer for the Missouri Valley, as Booth's successor as national secretary. Booth spoke enthusiastically of SDS's internal education pro- gram - the Radical Education Project (REP)--which is centered here in Ann Arbor under the A SENATE-HOUSE CONFERENCE committee is scheduled to begin deliberations on the Higher Education Appropriations Bill tomorrow. The bill contains the University's appropriation from the state legislature. The House bill gave the University an allotment of slightly over $58 million dollars. The Senate bill gave the University $57.8 million. The committee will attempt to iron out the differences between the two bills. No significant changes from the House bill are expected. The House included in its bill $100,000 to the University for cancer research, but failed to appropriate the money for expan- sion of the Center for Research on Learning and Teaching. The House did not appropriate any funds for the Institute of Inter- national Commerce, or a proposed Institute of Gerontology. THE STUDENT HOUSING ASSOCIATION made a proposal to City Council last night calling for a review of the R4 Multiple Family Density Study by Council with the aid of students and architects. The R4 study, in its present form would discourage needed high density housing in the central campus area. Since the proposal was made in the form of a communication from the Mayor, Councilman Hathaway moved to reconsider it as part of the regular agenda next week. A $87,000 GRANT from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to the University's Office of Research Adminis- tration for the study of the application of optical processing techniques to aerospace flight problems was announced yesterday by Rep. Wes Vivian (D-Ann Arbor). The study will be directed by Emmett Leith of the engineering college. ROBERT SCHEER, a "peace candidate" who gained 45 per cent of the vote in a California Congressional primary recently, will speak tonight at 8 p.m. in Rm. 3K-L-M-N of the Michigan Union. Scheer ran in a California district which included the Berkeley. GEORGE STEINITZ, Grad., who was arrested last October in the sit-in, has been reclassified 1A for the second time by his local draft board in Valley Stream, New York. After being reclassified for the first time he regained 2$ standing from the appeal board. Steinitz now claims conscientious objector status. He was notified yesterday of his second IA reclassification. EAST LANSING (A)-The Michigan State University local of the AFL-CIO State Employes Union voted Sunday to approve a new one-year contract covering some 2,000 nonteaching em- ployes. Union officials said the vote was unanimous for approval by the 550 union members ratifying the contract. The contract pre- viously had been approved by the MSU Board of Trustees. Union officials said the contract, covering wages, hours and working conditions, contains an economic package estimated to be worth an extra 35 cents an hour. Senate Subcommittee Says War Protests Communist Organized WASHINGTON OP)--The Sen- ate Internal Security subcopnmit- tee charged Sunday night that Communists have played a key role in organizing campus demon- strations against the war in South Viet Nam. "The Communist party, U.S.A., brand may be found upon every phase of the rallies," the subcom- mittee said in a report on hearings held 13 months ago, "from plan- ning to the final effort to prose- lytize young people." Seventy-eight pates of previ- ously secret testimony, made pub- lic with the report, dealt with the Free Speech Movement at the University of California, and withj war protests there and at the Uni- versity of Wisconsin. DuBois Clubs Official Link The subcommittee inquiry also covered the W.E.B. DuBois Clubs and the report said there is "an official link of the Communist party, through DuBois Clubs, with campus activities directed against policies of this country with re- spect to Viet Nam." The hearings were held May 17 and 18, 1965, amid demonstrations on campuses around the country. "These demonstrations seemed spontaneous at first," the report said. "But a pattern emerged, on campus after campus, which made it unmistakably clear that the Communist party, U.S.A., and its front organizations were playing a key role in organizing them. Recruitment Drive "It became increasingly evi- dent that the Communist party in both fomenting and exploiting campus unrest was laying the groundwork for a concerted drive to rruit youth to its ause." It went on: "A traditional tool of the Communists is infiltration, and it was used to the hilt on campus after campus. Student- body grievances were either frau- dulent, created, stimulated or ex- aggerated as a catalytic means of setting off mob explosions. "Once aroused, students' ener- gies were channeled and directed by professionals and their disciples into forums, rallies, protests, reso- lutions, defiance of law and out- and-out law violations." WILLIAMS SPEAKS HERE G. Mennon Williams, who along with Detroit Mayor Jerome Cavanaugh is seeking the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate, spoke before a panel here yesterday. The panel included (from left to right) Marshall Sahlins of the anthropology dept., Harold Orbach of the sociology dept., James Walter of the Ann Arbor Young Democrats, and Douglas Ross, Grad. Williams voiced support for the administration's Viet Nam policy and called for negotiations with the Viet Cong.

Scholars of Far Eastern studies, in a recent survey, said that, even without official lines of communi- cation, much has been done in the past few years to dispel con- siderably the mystery previously surrounding the mainland society. They point to the "astounding" library resources of China mate- rials-300,000 volumes at Harvard, 150,000 at Columbia and sizeable numbers at the University, the University of Chicago, Stanford, Berkeley and the Library of Con- gress. According to Fairbank and de Bary, diplomatic isolation has not brought a halt to the exchange of scholarly materials. Japan-chief outlet-and Honk Kong bookshops abound with resources. Mostly Scholarly Works Also, the Chinese Communist government has permitted the Pe- king National Library to enter in- to exchange agreements with A m e r i c a n university libraries. However, most of what is avail- able to American scholars con- sists of learned periodicals and edited texts of old Chinese scho- larship, highly expert, but con- fined to within fairly narrow limits. China experts also admit that they are handicapped by a lack of scientific materials, although the f e d e r a l government's extensive translation service produces daily about 100 pages of texts selected from the daily press, popular per- iodicals and radio broadcasts. About 60 graduate students at the University are pursuing ad- vanced degrees in Chinese studies, and even more are engaged in de- gree work in departments handl- Congress To Reevaluate Draft Law Hearings Scheduled To Examine Draft's 'State of the Health' WASHINGTON (MP-The Selec- tive Service system which has put millions of young American men into military uniforms since its enactment in 1940 gets a cri- tical look from Congress this week. Better known as the draft law, it has been the target of a bar- rage of recent complaints from congressmen spurred by a grow- ing volume of mail from constitu- ents. Prodded by these complaints, the House Armed Services Com- mittee has scheduled a week of hearings starting tomorrow with quizzing of Lt. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, national Selective Serv- ice director. Not an Investigation Committee Chairman L. Mendel Rivers (D-SC) described the hear- ings as a look into "the state of the health" of the draft rather than an investibation but said, "If it looks like the draft needs an investigation, we'll make it." The draft law, enacted shortly before U.S. involvement in World War II and continued since then except for the period from March 1947 to June 1948, will expire on June 30, 1967, unless Congress continues it. It is administered by more than 40,000 citizens serv- ing on more than 4000 local draft boards. The, local boards determine which youths from their oemmu- nities must go into service to meet the monthly quotas of their state. They operate under guidelines from Washington which provide for deferments of students, hus- bands, fathers and other categor- ies. Draft Calls U The monthly national draft quotas vary, depending on the mil- itary's need for manpower. Re- cently they have been ranging up- wards-18,500 for June, 26,500 for July, and 32,600 for August. There have been no congres- sional suggestions that the law be allowed to die next year. But charges of inequities and discrim- ination have been made. A group of 30 House Republi- cans recently blasted what it call- ed bumbling bureaucracy and de- manded an investigation. Some Democrats, too, have joined in the criticism. Various Complaints Typical of some of the com- plaints are these: -Rep. Donald M. Fraser (D- Minn) said the law is "patently discriminatory against the poor and uneducated," because youths who cant' afford to go to college can't get a student deferment. -Rep. Richard S. Schweiker (R-Pa) said too many local boards "are using different methods in classifications than their neigh- bors." -Rep. Robert F. Ellsworth (R- Kan) said the evidence "points to inequity and inefficiency." Hershey himself recently com- plained about the time it takes to run men through the manpow- er pipeline. Stricter Deferments In a memorandum to Congress last March, Hershey hinted that cedure may be in the offing. In- some changes in deferment pro- creased demands for manpower, he said.

Most felt, however, that the suggestions, designed to bring students into greater contact with the "real" world, were not new, and that the University has made advances in all the suggested areas. r inrvpn mmend inn f mnst identifying teachers, the rewards should be given by the college. Tenure Awarded by College Vice-President for Student Af- fairs Richard L. Cutler said that students are not "fit to judge pro- fessional competence" and that the reward of tenure ought to be left to the teacher's colleagues. Commenting on student involve- ment in general, John C. Feld- camp, assistant to the vice-presi- dent for student affairs, said that there is a difference between in- volvement and control, and that administraonrs must realizea that shead, '67, SGC member, said that through the Student Advisory Board System that is now being established "student opinion will be easily conveyed to top admin- istrators," and "students will be able to affect University decisions which have a great impact on their lives." Commenting on another of the NSA recommendations, that pass- fail judgments be substituted for grades, Robertson said that the pass-fail option will be considered by the faculty in the fall. TH e sid thnt such a. nnlicv think a pass-fail system is a suf- ficient basis on which to "diag- nose a student's strengths and weaknesses," and is "no basis to see where a person needs help." The recommendation that cred- it be offered for off-campus ex- periences in hospitals, the Peace Corps, the civil rights movement, the antipoverty program, or other jobs met with a more dubious response. Careful Supervision Robertson said that "unless the experience was an integral part of the student's program and was world. With this in mind, he said that a more tangible reward for these extra experiences might be a higher starting salary on a job rather than college credit. Independent Study Another recommendation, that independent study should be in- creased, was greeted enthusias- tically by Cutler and Robertson. Both agreed that it was a good idea and that the University through the Honors and other programs, has already done much work in this area. Concerning NSA's "campus self-
