LXXVI, No. 10 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, TUESDAY, MAY 17, 1966 SEVEN CENTS SIX PA4 TF0 Loses Committee Member Gernant Resigns To Work Alone for Teaching Fellows e iWigRnEail Hearings onyj B 'U' Budget'iet BuddhistsVO To Begin By MEREDITH EIKER Paul Gernant, the economic de- partment's representative to the Teaching Fellows Organization, re-' signed yesterday as a member of the TFO policy committee to work independently for fiscal reform from the state administration and Legislature. In his statement to the public, Gernant said "that the problem of teaching fellows' salaries is symptomatic of a much broader problem. This is the lack of fore- sight and planning the state ad- ministration and Legislature have shown in recent years regarding the needs of higher education in Michigan." Gernant said further that he would continue his support of the .eaching fellows in their quest for salary increases and other faculty benefits, though he feels these to be specialized problems, the cor- rection of which may be conting- ent upon state fiscal reform. He said, however, that his fu- ture support will, depend to a large extent on the teaching fel- lows' ability to get organized in the near future. "I will not sup- port," Gernant commented, "two or three individuals who are cur- rently making most of the deci- sions and claiming to represent the University teaching fellows." He pointed out that only three de- partments were represented at the last executive committee meeting. Gernant proposed that the "aca- demic community take the initia- tive on matters of public policy affecting the future of higher ed- ucation in Michigan" by forming a committee composed of faculty and students from the 11 state colleges. In Lansing last night Charles Orlebeke, educational consultant to Governor Romney, said that Gernant's proposed Committee to Improve Higher Education in Michigan would meet with little enthusiasm from the Legislature and state administration. Any fac- ulty committee utilized by the state in planning fiscal reform would necessarily come from the State Association of American Uni- versity Professors, he continued. Gernant will have to gain sup- port of the local AAUP and then of the state AAUP before he can even begin to be heard by the Legislature, Orlebeke said. Meanwhile, Gernant and three other members of the TFO policy committee met with Vice-Presi- dent for Academic Affairs Smith yesterday to discuss their d'emands further. While some headway has been made in gaining library priv- ileges for the teaching fellows, the issue of salaries remains nebulous. Late World News SANTO DOMININGO IP-Authoritative sources said last night former President Juan Bosch planned to withdraw as a presi- dential candidate today because of what he considered a lack of guarantees of a free election. The same sources said Bosch, regarded as the leading can- didate, would ask the Dominican Revolutionary Party-PRD- to retire from the campaign. The election is scheduled for June 1. The executive committee of PRD, which Bosch founded. went into emergency session last night to consider Bosch's request. it was reported. SAIGON (A')-An American helicopter carrying the U.S. Marine commander in Viet Nam, Lt. Gen. Lewis W. Wait, his chief of staff and Maj. Gen. Hynh Van Cao, new Vietnamese 1st Corps commander, was reported fired on early today by anti- government troops in Hue. There was no confirmation of the firing on Walt's air- craft, but unofficidl reports said that neither the helicopter nor any of those aboard was hit. However, the aircraft was said to hve returned the fire from troops of the dissident 1st Army Corps. UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO STUDENTS late last night vot- ed to withdraw "unconditionally" from the school's administration building, which they had been occupying for the past five days to protest the university's policy of sending grades and class ranks to draft boards. Though representatives of the group refused to issue a statement explaining the decision to discontinue the sit-in, they said that the vote was taken after several faculty members spoke to the assemblage. Members of the group also revealed that they will consider seeking an injunction against the university to prohibit it from sending grades to Selective Service offices and that a teach-in is planned for tomorrow. One student who spoke with a law professor on the idea of the injunction, said that the filing might be made on grounds that grades are privileged communications between students and professors, who should be bound to keep professional confidences. REPRESENTATIVES FROM VISTA (Volunteers in Service to America) will be recruiting and speaking with interested University students in the basement of the Michigan Union today from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. VISTA figures disclose that more than 75 per cent of its volunteers are college trained. Those selected for the program receive $50 a month which is banked for them until their year is up, a rockbottom living allowance, and free medical and dental care. The volunteers serve in poverty-stricken areas on Indian reservations, in Appalachian hollows, in the slums of New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles and New Orleans; in Job Corps centers and in migrant workers' camps. REGENT ALVIN BENTLEY was recently discharged from St, Joseph's Mercy Hospital after undergoing major surgery. Hos- pital officials declined to give the reason for the operation, except to say it was not connected with a bullet-wound Bentley received in 1954 when he was shot by a Puerto rican terrorist while in the House of Representatives in Washington. Administrators Plan Same Defense as That Given to Senate By MARTHA WOLFGANG The House Ways and Means Committee will hold hearings to- morrow morning on the Univer- sity's appropriations from the State Legislature. The University has two hours to defend the amount of its budget request be- fore the House committee. It had to do essentially the same thing before the Senate Appropriations Committee many weeks ago. Executive Vice-President Marvin Niehuss said the University will give essentially the same presen- tation tomorrow that it gave to the Senate Appropriations Com- mittee. It, 'Ju6 ouig"ll Faxon Comments Jack Faxon (D-Detroit), a mem- ber of the House committee stat- ed. "We expect to listen very care- fully to the University's needs and how we feel we can best meet, those needs. We are interested in knowing their alternative pro- grams to the varying budget levels that may be approved." The House committee will act on the bill passed by the Senate com- mittee. This committee gave the University a total appropriation of $58 million. This was $6.3 million less than the University's request, but was more than $2.7 million over Gov. George Romney's allot- ment in the budget.

Adrian and Professors Alfred G. Meyer and Robert C. Scigliano, ac- cording to the Michigan State News. Pay, prestige and challenge were cited in explanations of their de- partures .though the professors denied that the department's in- volvement in the controversial and recently exposed MSU-Viet Nam project played a part in their decision. The most difficult task faced by the department will be filling the vacancies of Meyer and Scigliano, though the university plans a vig- orous recruitment program. Also complicating the department's ad- justment to the loss of three "name" instructors is the fact 3 Students Shot at Socialist Offices in Detroit; 1 Dies that one full professor and two associate professors will be on leave for a year beginning this fall. CIA Bungling Not a Factor Adrian, who has accepted a po- sition at the University of Cali- fornia, Riverside, told the State News, "The University's abysmal handling of the CIA-MSU Project situation in no way influenced my decision to resign. I do think." he continued, "that it was typical of the University's failure to realize that it is now a first-rate insti- tution which no longer has to kow- tow to conventional wisdom." "But fundamentally, I'm leaving because I've been offered a bet- ter paying job in a higher status institution." Adrian also said, "One of the things we don't know at MSU is whether the cut-off point is go- ing to be 50,000, one million, or never. Also. at California the stu- dent-faculty ratio will be a known quantity. Here you never know if increased enrollment means in- creased faculty or not."

Ky's f-o r c e s controlled key areas of Da Nang on Monday, but antigovernment rebels held out in scattered places such as the pagoda. The Buddhist demands upon the military junta were announced in an impassioned speech in Sai- gon by Thien Minh, spokesman for Saigon's Buddhist leaders, chiefly Thich Tri Quang, who is regarded as a militant. Assassination Plot Minh charged in reference to the takeover at Da Nang that "there is a plot to assassinate all Buddhists." He spoke to a crowd of about 1,000 standing in the rain. "All monks will sacrifice them- selves to strike against the gov- ernment," he said. Demand Withdrawal He demanded the speedy with- drawal of government troops from Da Nang-site of vast U.S. mili- tary installations 380 miles north- east of Saigon-and that the gov- ernment "find an immediate solu- tion" to restore civilian rule.

The WSU campus is only a few blocks from the midtown scene of the shooting-the Eugene V. Debs Hall on Woodward Avenue, De- troit's main street.
