LXXVI, No. 43S ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, JULY 8, 1966 SEVEN CENTS SIX PAGES Regents Prepare To By LEONARD PRATT Co-Editor Picking the University's next President is turning out to be a lot like a blind date: you don't quite know what you're getting into in the first place and you change your ideas a lot as you go along. At least that's the impression one gets by talking to the Re- gents and the members of their two advisory committees-student and faculty-most closely involv- ed in the selection process. All three groups are now paring down the great number of names they have been considering for the presidency and are refining the criteria they will use to make their final decisions, by the early months of next year if the Re- gents' plans aren't delayed. Authority in the selection pro- cess is like a three-cornered pyra- mid. At each lower corner is an advisory committee, one of stu- dents, one of faculty and one of alumni. They are due to pass their conclusions up to the peak, to the Regents, in some form this fall. The operation of the selection process, however, is more like a ring, with the advisory committees all doing their own investigating and passing around their results and tentative conclusions to one another and to the Regents. There are two basic tasks in which the committees are engag- ed. They are, to different degrees and fairly independently of one another, analyzing the University In an attempt to better under- stand what sort of a man its next President sholud be. In addition they are screening candidates' re- cords to provide the Regents with a list of recommendations some- time this fall. "What you get is a continual process of adding new names to the list and taking old names from it," says the English depart- ment's Arthur M. Eastman, chair- man of the faculty advisory com- nittee. It is this process that will eventually result in the com- mittees' lists of their "ideal" can- didates. To aid the advisory committee in their research on candidates' backgrounds the Regents have set up a staff office under the direc- tion of Prof. Howard Peckham, head of the Clements Library. There, a secretary and a research assistant prepare preliminary dos- siers giving bibliographical and biographical sketches of anyone in whom committees are interested. Peckham's staff also passes in- formation which one committee has requested to both other com- mittees and to the Regents, thus ensuring the ring-like approach to the selection process. Life for the committees so far has been full of what Alfred Con- ard of the Law School, a faculty advisory committee member, calls "growing pains." When the Re- gents set up the committees they purposely gave them very general goals and structures to ensure that they could advise in any way they wished. Pick But along with freedom came a batch of what Robert Briggs, chairman of the Regents' working committee, calls "five - minute problems." The relationships of the advisory committees to one an- other and to the Regents had to be worked out pretty much by trial and error. To be sure, there are no major grumblings from anyone. Yet, as advisory committee members read- ily admit, no actions of a really controversial nature have been taken. What will happen then is a problem which one faculty mem- ber says "we haven't really faced up to yet." Briggs feels his major function currently is ironing out such areas of disagreement which he says "we may well expect." Next What sort of a man do the Re-i gents want to come out of all this?l Briggs emphasizes that any pros-e pective president must be an edu- cator, preferably with a PhD, who is good at public relations work.1 Many advisory committee mem-t bers are interested in a candi- date's health and his age-it takess several years for a president to learn just what his job entails, andt he has to be in condition to run1 the University for many years aft- er that. Marriage also enters the pic- ture. A candidate with a sociallyt capable wife is clearly preferred tof a bachelor. There are a number of ques-z tions still facing the Regents and their advisors. Foremost in every-c one's mind is just when the nextf President president is to be appointed. The Regents want to name a man early enough to have him here for several months before President Harlan Hatcher retires in Decem- ber, 1967. They realize that to do this they must appoint a man sometime around this coming spring. In order to do that the committees' recommenda- tions would have to be completed by this fall. No decision has yet been made on what form those recommenda- tions will take. Here too, the Re- gents have set out no guidelines for the committees and decisions must be made by discussion. There is even talk on the stu- dent committee of making a joint faculty-student recommendation, 'U' Building Structure To 3c4 tUgauai Hold Offices NEWS WIRE L.S.A. Will Move To Old Administration Building in Fall '68 The University is currently con- structing an administration build- ing to replace the present one. The literary college will then be able to use the space in the pres- ent Administration Building for classrooms and office use.? The building is not being builtI with state funds under Public Act 124 which requires state approval of building plans, University rev- enues which are currently set aside annually for such purposesj as athletic housing and adminis- trative and service buildings will be used to finance the project. These revenues are allocated ac- cording to priorities stated in a three-year budget projection, ac- cording to James Brinkerhoff, di- rector of plant extension. Part of Program The total cost of the building is estimated at $2.5 million. Vice- President for Business and Fi- nance Wilbur K. Pierpont said a portion of this will be bonded. The new building is a further step in the removal of adminis- trative and non-teaching func- tions from the Central Campus. Other steps in this program have included the transfer of the Plant Services from Forest Ave. to the Hoover St. area, the general busi- ness offices (purchasing, account- ing, payroll, etc.) from the Ad- ministration Building last Febru- ary to the Hoover-Green St. area, and the transfer from the Central Campus to the former Argus Building of the Bureau of School Services, the Audio-Visual Educa- 4 tion Center and other groups. New Location The new administration build- ing will occupy the southeast cor- ner of the Jefferson-Thompson St. intersection, and is scheduled for completion during 1967-68. The public metered parking lot on the construction site will be moved across Thompson St. to an area south of the parking struc- ture now occupied by homes which are to be demolished soon. Additional public metered spaces also will be made available north of the Student Activities Build- ing. There is speculation here and in Lansing that a portion of the funds will come from the $55 mil- lion campaign. However there is no official confirmation on this. There is still some doubt as to whether the proposed $2.5 mil- lion allotted for construction of the new administration building also includes the cost of removing the parking lot now on the con- struction site to the housing area which will be demolished soon. Late World News !3y The Associated Press JAKARTA, INDONESIA-ABOUT 20,000 Indonesian students unrolled anti-Sukarno banners in Jakarta yesterday at a rally addressed by Gen. Abdul Haris Nasution, one of the nation's mil- itary leaders. Troops ordered them to furl the banners "to preserve tranquility," as an officer phrased it. Student leaders said, however, they would conduct anti- Sukarno demonstrations shortly, although the Congress stripped President Sukarno of power this week. Nasution, head of the Congress, told the students no one was truly satisfied with the congressional decisions but the people's sovereignty had been restored to them. WASHINGTON-THE PENTAGON, running into a lag in Army enlistments, revised its draft calls sharply upward yester- day for July and August. The July quota was raised by 2,000 to 28,500 and that for August by 4,000 to 36,600. At the same time the Defense Depart- ment asked the Selective Service System to bring in 31,300 men in September. The calls are all for the Army, with no indication of a sim- ilar lag in Navy, Marine and Air Force enlistments. MICIIIGAN DRAFT BOARDS will be required to deliver an additional 750 men for induction into the Army in July and August, State Selective Service headquarters said yesterday in Lansing, the Associated Press reported. Col. Arthur Holmes, state Selective Service director, said the additional call was due to increased manpower requirements announced this week by the Defense Department. The previous July call of 2,225 men has been increased by 300 for a total of 2,525. The August call of 2,980 men will be increased by 450 for a total of 3,430. Holmes said local boards have been authorized to take mar- ried men without children when needed. Boards also have been ordered to tighten deferments and screen men previously deferred for occupational or dependency reasons. THE CHAIRMAN OF THE East Lansing Democratic Club, who asked President Johnson to remove John Hannah as U.S. Civil Rights Commission chairman, has been told by the White House that Hannah would stay, the Associated Press reported in Lansing. James A. Harrison wrote to Johnson, saying Hannah should be removed because he did not appear before the East Lansing City Council to support a proposed anti-discrimination housing ordinance. Hannah, president of Michigan State University, said at the time he would have considered appearing if he had been invited to speak as a private citizen. He said he was not invited to appear in any capacity. John W. Macy Jr., an assistant to the President, wrote Har- rison that "I have no intention of recommending to the President that Hannah be dismissed, as you urge on the basis of this one incident." STEPHEN WITHEY, A PROFESSOR in the psychology de- partment here and acting director of the Survey Research Center and Institute of Social Research was elected president of the Board of Education. Withey has been a member of the school board since 1961 and will complete his second three-year term next year. He will head the board for a one-year term. instead of sending separate lists of names to the Regents, as an outgrowth of their fairly extensive contacts with the faculty. Though neither Regents nor faculty seem to object to the idea, nothing def- inite has yet been done about it. What happens to the advisory committees after they have made their formal recommendations is another moot point. No one has said anything officially, but the faculty and students both want to stay around until the final deci- sion is made. Briggs emphasizes that the committees are free to do anything they want and even suggests that the committees may have a role to play after their "final" recommendations are turn- ed in. Mrs. Murphy Undecided on New Term Speculation Starts On Election of Two Regents in November By MICHAEL HEFFER Speculation is beginning as to who the candidates will be in two races for the Board of Regents next November. Regent Irene Murphy, one of three Democrats on the board, and Carl Brablec, a Republican, are up for re-election. Brablec announced last month that he will not seek another term. However, Mrs. Murphy said yes- terday she has not yet reached a decision on whether to seek an- other term. Rumors have been floating through the Democratic party that she has decided against running. Mrs. Murphy said she should know by the end of the month. Some sources say Democratic party officials believe it is im- portant for Mrs. Murphy to stay on the board so she can help choose the next University presi- dent. They are also reported to be coitfident that she can be re- elected. It appears that Theodore Sachs is most likely to get the Demo- cratic nomination for Brablec's post. Sachs was the attorney for August Scholle, prominent state Democrat and president of the state AFL-CIO, in the landmark Scholle vs. Hare reapportionment case decided by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1962. Sachs is reported to be favored by Scholle for the nomination. However, s e V e r a others are also known to be in- terested in the bid. If both Mrs. Murphy and Bra- blec are not among the Regents who make up the board that will first meet next January and will select the next University presi- dent, the members of that board will have collectively relatively little experience as University Re- gents. For example, Regent Alvin Bent- ley was just appointed to the board by Gov. George Romney to fill Eugene Power's seat. Regent Allan Sorenson has missed many board meetings and has therefore been unable to take part in much of the board's work. Regent Robert Briggs joined the board less than two years ago, in November, 1964, and Regent Wil- liam Cudlip has been on the board since 1963. -Associated Press DISCUSS COMMON MARKET British Prime Minister Harold Wilson (center) met yesterday with French Prime Minister Georges Pompidou (left) and French Foreign Minister Couve De Murville in London to discuss proposed British entry into the European Common Market. LOW-INCOME FACILITIES: City ToR.medyHousing Shortage By SHIRLEY ROSICK A recent federal grant of $35,- 000 will enable the city of Ann Arbor to conduct a comprehen- sive survey of the city's low-cost housing needs. The study, expect- ed to take six months, will open the way for federal loans to fi- nance low-rent housing projects. Since last December the city has provided a service to help low-in- come residents obtain temporary dwellings. As of May 15, about 12 families have received assistance from the Independent Housing As- sociation, a non-profit group seek- ing to provide emergency dwell- ings costing as near to 25 per cent of the family's income as possible. Granting of a request for a federal loan to provide 200 low- cost dwellings - some new, some rehabilitated structures and some leased from private owners and rented to low-income families - should follow the collection of spe- cific data through the newly- commissioned housing survey. Until now, estimates of low-cost housing needs have been limited to those compiled from studies using census figures and informa- tion that residents have volun- teered to the Human Relations Commission when seeking assist- ance in finding emergency dwell- ings from the Independent Hous- ing Association. One study based on census re- ports has estimated that, as of 1960, there were at least 1800 "poor" Ann Arbor families-those whose expenditures exceeded their incomes. It stated that "a pro- dwellings is underway, and if it units and continue, if the program proves to be self-liquidating, can be self-sustaining, to ask for Brown said the city will be en- annual federal contributions for abled to apply for more federal analederaldcontributi n funds, in proportion to what the whatever additional emergency survey shows low-cost housing housing may be needed. needs call for. Another project, to be financed with the aid of Section 23 of the 1965 Federal Housing Act, would seek to remedy more immediate housing needs. Under this pro- gram, if the city can show both a need for emergency dwellings and property available for pur- chase, it would be immediately eli- gible for federal assistance. Brown said that, initially, the city will ask for money for 40 Brown illustrated the way the program would work by giving an example of a piece of property costing $150 under consideration for buying by the city. Govern- ment funds would probably supply approximately $55 of the amount. Administrative expenses would add $8 and profit-loss margin $3. The total sum of $106 of expenses not supplied by government funds would then equal the amount charged as rent to tenants. Brown contended that the con- struction of federally-financed low-cost housing would appreci- ably affect rent levels on the pri- vate housing market. The reason for this, he said, was that the new housing projects would not be serving people who are eligible renters "on the hous- ing market at the price that mar- ket demands." However, a survey by a Univer- sity professor has shown that new construction "would tend to force 'down the rents charged for low- quality housing already in exist- ence, and that this result would also help to alleviate poverty." E May Boost Aid to Tutorial Projects MSU RESEARCHERS: State Should Import Students By The Associated Press EAST LANSING-A state can profit from the money it spends on educating out-of-state stu- dents in its public universities, two Michigan State University re- searchers indicate. The state that educates out- of-state students is in a good po- sition to offer them employment and taikr advanta nf their tal- as the University, which have maintained relatively large out- of-state percentages in their stu- dent body composition.

Leading in in-migration, the two say, is Colorado. Stu- dents coming there from other states make up 27.8 per cent of public college and university en- rollment. Indiana is second with 19.5 per cent, Arizona is third with 19.2 per cent and Michigan ranks seventh with 12.5 per cent. Collegiate Press Srde WASHINGTON - Tutorial pro- jects like the one at the University are gaining increased attention from the Office of Economic Op- portunity as allies in the war on poverty. In a new step toward closer re- lations with the tutorial move- ment, OEO last week invited the captains of local tutorial projects to meet with commanders of the War on Poverty at its Washington headquarters. S a r g e n t Shriver, OEO director, opened the two-day session of 18 students with glow- ing praise of the work of tutorial projects, and asked for sugges- tions on how OEO can help them better. Q+I~nn c xrh x arl Yl,- 3. .Yt lY Program (CAP) the War on Pov- erty has channeled $5,360,669 dur- ing the past fiscal year to 92 pro- jects. Most of these are local projects centered around a neighborhood center and receive their money through their town's local com- munity action agency. There are five projects, however, which re- ceive money directly from Wash- ington, since they are experimen- tal demonstration projects cover- ing large territories. To help determine the needs of the tutorial movement, OEO re- cently negotiated a contract with the National Student Association to organize and operate a Tutorial Assistance Center. The TAC, di- 'r+ad h TNA snff memher Wal- ferences for staff workers on pro- jects, in addition to providing ad- vice to OEO staff on the problems and needs of tutorial programs. The group of students brought to Washington for the conference will also act as an advisory board which, itis planned, will meet per- iodically to review the work of the NSA center and to make further suggestions to OEO. The advisory board represents a cross-section of some of the best p r o g r a m s currently operating, from both urban and rural areas. Projects represented range from the Tuskegee Institute for Com- munity Education Program run by the Institute, which provides assistance through 25 centers in ten rural counties of southeastern Speed-Up in South Carolina, send college students to rural communi- ties to organize residents to help themselves, much as Peace Corps volunteers move into backwoods communities in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Indeed, some of these voluntary; student-run tu- torial programs train and employ VISTA volunteers from the OEO's "Domestic Peace Corps" program. In the cities, some tutorial pro- jects, such as the University of Chicago's Student Woodlawn Area Project (SWAP), believe it is part of their task to press for changes in the operations of the city school system. SWAP was active in the furor in Chicago over efforts to get rid of former school superin- tendent Benjamin C. Willis, who
