A good time was had by all. Rumored Riot in UGLI Attracts Police, Crowd -- But No Rioters By BRUCE WASSERSTEIN and STEVEN SCHWARTZ Helmeted police swept into the basement of the Undergraduate Library last night to quell a rum- ored riot. They were greeted by laughing students-but no riot. Pictures of the scene, however, were taken from at least one photographer by officials. A li- brarian explained, "We do not want any publicity." In anticipation of a rumored prank, students gathered at 9 p.m. in the east area of the UGLI basement. An official considered Saigon Coup Forces New U.S.-Vietnamn Policy Review SAIGON (P-With a verbal jab at United States Ambassador Maxwell D. Taylor, Lt. Gen. Nguyen Khanh yesterday put Harvard- educated Nguyen Xuan Oanh into office as premier of South Viet Nam.x Khanh also said he would ask Phan Khac Suu to stay on as chief of state until a new government is formed. Khanh had ousted both Suu and Premier Tran Van Huong in a bloodless coup Wednesday. At a news conference, Khanh also said the cabinet, except for Huong, would remain in office on a caretaker basis. Taylor's Reaction Khanh scowled as he said he had not yet conferred with Am- bassador Taylor on the coup. Asked what Taylor's reaction to the Scoup' has been,' Khanh snapped "Why don't you ask him?" Philosopher "This is an internal problem. You know from my past actions how important I consider internal ' e s Tthatters and national sovereignty. 11T~lew ruth I'm sure the United States will accept any of our actions in the By MICHAEL HEFFER interests of the Vietnamese people, not putting the interests of any Does religion justify dempcracy? single individual above these in- Does religion provide the founda- terests." the milling crowds rowdy and de- manded that they disperse or else she would "call in the security guards." Darkness Suddenly the lights went off, and UGLI officials refused to turn them back on until the police arrived. Upon arrival, the police were engulfed by curious students. One officer noted, "It looks to me like there is no riot; it is only a bunch of college kids walking around." A Sgt. Remnant, spokesman for the policemen on the scene, said he had no explanation for the, summoning of the officers. Attendant The riot rumor was originally spread by the UGLI basement attendant, who asserted, "These people are acting more like juve- nile deliquents than students." 3 Correction In yesterday's Daily, the ten- tative time schedule for the summer session was wrongly referred to as the "summer semester catalogue." It was an- nounced by Douglas R. Wool-' ly, director of registration and records, that "the final spring- summer time schedule will be available February 18." He said it will "list all courses of- fered and their times." The courses will be those in the spring period (IIIa), summer period (I1Ib) and those in the 16 week period (III). She described the incident to the upper echelons of the UGLI administration who, in turn, phoned the police. One librarian on the main floor, who had not been downstairs, told students asking for help, "There is a riot3 in the basement. I can't help you1 now."{ The students meandered about the library for over 45 minutes,1 taking the incident with all thet seriousness of a study break. The police officers seemed to take the situation lightly once the threat of riot was dispeled. By 10 p.m.. the library was back to normal. Library officials refused com- ment on the incident but reported no damage., jectives and composition of the, committee will be announced, Prof. Wallace Berry of the music schoolsaid yesterday. He is chairman of SACTJA's Student Relations Committee which initiated the idea for the study group. General Concern "There is general concern that students are not given a format to express effectively their opinions," Berry declared. The study team, officially titled "The ad-hoc Com- mittee on Student Participation in University Affairs" will seek to propose workable machinery for airing student sentiment. The idea for a study of the stu- dent's role here has come from many quarters within the Univer- sity, Berry said. One source was an article in The Daily by Prof. Arnold Kaufman of the philoso- phy department, last December. He wrote "students have an im- portant responsibility to assist in the development of a more invig- orating University community." Events at Berkeley To this internal pressure, re- cent events at the University of California's Berkeley c a m p u s "have added great urgency," Berry observed. The study group is expected to include undergraduates and grad- uates as well as representatives of the Office of Student Affairs. It will take up the philosophical question or the desirability of stu- dent participation in University affairs based upon previous spe- cific arrangements to assure such participation such as in Student Government Council and student- faculty "government." Berry has already cdntacted some students to ascertain inter- est in serving on the committee and has named a tentative chair-; man for the group. Newly-elected Graduate Student Council Presi-; dent James McEvoy, Grad, and his immediate predecessor, Law-; rence Phillips, Grad, have both agreed to serve. Prof. Marvin Fel- heim of the English department is the proposed chairman. Increased Co-operation 7 A plan to increase student-fac- ulty co-operation was instituted two years ago when SGC estab- lished a number of subcommittees parallel to major subcommittees of SACUA. The object was to seat student members on the corres- ponding faculty committees, but this plan failed for lack' of stu- dent participation, 'erry observed.I In establishing the study group,' the faculty will be following a successful tradition in reforming student affairs. The development of Student Government Council in 1954 and the re-organization of the Office of Student Affairs in 1962 followed recommenda- tions by similar committees. 1 Expect No Reversal in Iran Policy TEHRAN, Iran (M-The assas- sin's bullet that ' struck down Premier Hassan Ali Mansour will bring no major changes in Iran's internal or pro-West foreign policy. This was made clear yesterday by the new premier, Amir Abass Hoveida, who said after present- ing his cabinet: "As can be observed from the composition of the cabinet, all of them are men who were used by Mansour. The new government does not intend any major changes in ministers. . "There will also be no change in Iran's foreign and internal economic and social policies." Moslem Church Land The Shah had named Mansour premier last March to press his campaign to buy up Moslem church land and that of other large holders and sel it to pea- sants on easy terms. As security police continued their relentless investigation into the death Tuesday of Mansour, informed sources asserted that the Moslem terrorist group believed responsible for the killing is not powerful enough to create gen- eral turmoil or an effective anti- Shah movement. Crack Down The sources said the new gov- ernment will cracle down merci- lessly on the fanatics. Those tak- ing part in the assassination plot soon will face execution, they added. The sources said this isolated act of terrorism will not affect Iran's dealings with Western oil companies. Even while Mansour was linger- ing between life and death, five new bills for Persian Gulf off- shore oil exploration were put be- fore parliament. He had planned to present them personally when he was shot in front of parliament last Thursday. Oil Legislation Both parliamentary and oil circles said they expect the bills to be approved by both houses of parliament within a fortnight. The measures provide Iran will get 75 per cent of oil income and $108 million in cash. Similarly, Iran's ten-year-old alliance with the West, particular- ly, its ties with the United States and with the Central Treaty Or- ganization, will not be shaken by the assassination, the sources said. Ultra High Frequency receivers are coming to University resi- dence-hall televisions, but they will be purchased through Uni- versity channels. East Quadrangle Cooley House President Jim Lemmel, '67E, re- vealed yesterday that his house was denied University permission to purchase and install a UHF re- ceiver for the house television set. Lemmel said yesterday that Roy Passon, coordinator of building services for the residence halls, told him the University would not let any students or non-University personnel climb onto the quad- rangle roof to install the UHF antenna. Icy Passon last night declined to comment on the roof ban, but Residence Halls Business Manager Leonard Schadt explained, "we can't allow students up on the roof; it's icy and someone might fall off and get killed." Unlike many University build- ings, whose roofs are relatively ac- cessible, the residence halls have traditionally kept roof doors lock- ed tight. Elaborating, Schadt explained that all UHF receivers and an- tennas will be purchased by the University and installed by the Plant Department. He indicated that plans currently are underway for the project but that he is not certain when it will be completed. Tuesday Cooley House had hoped to have its all-channel receiver installed by last Tuesday, as its members wanted to watch the Michigan State basketball game on UHF channel 50. They had planned to purchase the receiver and antenna from a local store which agreed to help install the equipment. The merchant had offered the students a special deal on the equipment, provided the merchant would be allowed to install it, the students reported. Through the 'U' Lemmel said he was told that the purchase must go through the University. "We don't see why we have to go through all this red tape," he said. Interpreting University policy, Schadt said that it is "best for the University to purchase this equip- ment, because we can get a better price and insure the equipment as well." He said that studies have al- ready been made at South Quad, Mary Markley and West Quad to install the equipment. Schadt is not certain when the project will be completed. However, he said, he'd "rather have the University do it and do it properly." Unhappy The Cooley students are not pleased by the decision. As Lem- mel pointed out, "We'd much rather do it ourselves, it would be a lot faster." Nonetheless, for the time being, the Cooley MIouse 21-inch TV is destined to receive only 12 channels. ; tions for democracy? "It is in the general interest of democracy to find out the true foundations of democracy," Prof. Carl Cohen of the philosophy de- partment, Dearborn Campus, said last night. He doubted religion could be the foundation or the justification of democracy. Cohen spoke on "Reflections on the Religious Foundations of De- nocracy," at the B'nai B'rith Hillel Foundation. He emphasized that his talk was a "reflection," not an "argument." Defines Democracy Cohen spoke of democracy as "a form of government whose members participate in their gov- ernment." He said while religion could be spoken of as either "a set of beliefs, attitudes or means of conducting oneself," he would refer to it as "beliefs." Noting that people claim there are relationships between democ- racy and religion, Cohen took one " of these claims, "religion justifies democracy" and analyzed its pos- sible meanings. First Meaning The first meaning could be "that religious truths must be justified if democracy is to be justified, making religious truths necessary for the justification of democra- cy," he. said. In discussing this claim, Cohen asked: "Does political liberty en-' tail that the soul be free?" He said "if we learned that there is no God, we still would not aban- don our liberties or weaken our convictions. Our political beliefs are not dependent upon religious truths. We can find other grounds to justify liberty," he added. Unfriendly Relations Personal hostility b e t w e e n Khanh and Taylor has been evi- dent since Dec. 20, when young generals of the former premier's high command overthrew the High National Council that was the legislative foundation for Pre- mier Huong's civilian government. Each has told newsmen that he regards the other as unworthy to hold his respective job. Seventh Coup The coup was the seventh in a series of governmental upheavals that have averaged only 65 days apart in this Communist-menaced nation since the destruction of, President Ngo Dinh Diem's regime Nov. 1, 1963. There are indications that the United States will at least coun- .tenance the latest military take- over, with the hope that a frame- work of civilian control will be restored if scheduled elections are held March 21. Civilian Governmvest The military leaders have indi- cated they intend to operate as far as possible within the legal frame- work of civilian government and to retain plans for early selection of a national assembly. There was no reiteration of a State Department warning to Vietnamese military chieftains Dec. 22 that continued American support was based on the exist- ence of a Saigon government "free of interference." Exiles Buddhists Usually reliable sources said Khanh made a deal with leaders of the Buddhist insurrection, at least on a temporary basis, which called for the departure of several into political exile abroad. State Department officials re- fused formal comment on Khanh's coup. Press officer Robert J. Mc- VICE-PRESIDENT CUTLER Manifesto 1. SGC thanks those students and student organizations who supported the "stay-in" action at the Michigan Theatre on Friday, 22 January 1965. 2. In view of the failure of Butterfield Theatre manage- ment to meet with representa- Lives of SGC to discuss the price icreas , SGC urges a continuing boycott of the Cam- pus, State, and Miiigan The- atres in an effort to force such negotiation. 3.nIn urging students to sup- port this boycott, SGC pledges itself to seek alternative forms of entertainment for students on weekends. These alterna- tives will be provided In cooper- ation with other student or- ganizations." 4. Executive Committee of SGC contact Regents to urge Regents to divest themselves, of stock in Butterfield Com- pany because SGC feels that the interest of the student body conflicts with that of. Butterfield Theatres. 5.. SGC will attempt to meet with leaders of all student or- ganizations interested 'in spon- soring a picket and boycott of Butterfield Theatres. The pur- pose of this meeting shall be to discuss possibility of affecting a picket and/or boycott in the next month. SGC Voices ObjectivesQ By JUDITH WARREN Student Government Council at its meeting last night, unani- mously voted to continue its long- range pressure on the Butterfield Company in protest of the re- cent increase in movie prices. Coming out of a Committee of the Whole session, SGC adopted a long-term resolution by Barry Bluestone, '66, and Thomas Smithson, '65, stating the direc- tives of student protest. The res- olution calls for a coalition of all student organizations in an all- out attempt at a boycott of the Butterfield Theatres and at of- fering alternative low-cost student entertainment. Decline of Interest One of the problems that the SGC members saw as imminent is a decline in student interest and students' accommodation to the price increase. To' counter such a possibility, Bluestone said, "we must have a coalition of student organizations with SGC at the helm." "We must continue to boycott the 'Butterfield Theatres for the next month. We must provide so- cial pressure on the University to divest itself of its stocks in the Butterfield Company and we must apply pressure on the Regents." Student Action Douglas Brook, '65, president of SGC, said that the events of last weekend will not be the end of student action, and implied that increased student action would re- sult if Butterfield representatives refuse to negotiate with SGC. Dorm Movies "I'm going to ask the dorm pres, idents to show the regular Sun- day night movies on Friday and Vomen 1 Days Proposition Would Affect Dorms Only Cutler Denies Rumor That OSA Policies Are Already Set By GAIL BLUMBERG A decision concerning apartment permission for junior women can be expected from the Office of Student Affairs within eight to ten days. At the same time, Vice-Presi- dent for Student Affairs Richard L. Cutler, who made this an- nouncement yesterday, firmly de- nied rumors that OSA policy is al- ready set, emphasizing that "there are at least ten vital, interrelated issues which have yet 'to be re- solved." "I would advise any dormitory residents with a special interest in this decision not to commit them- selves for next year one way or another at the moment," he said. (According to current Office of Student Affairs policy, only'-senior women with parental consent'and women over 21 have automatic apartment permission. Any change in this policy would not take ef- fect until fall and would come too late to affect sorority women.) Rumors Abound Rumors announcing 3ju n io r apartment permission have been circulating in women's residence halls prompting some sophomores to sign apartment contracts. Con- tributing to these rumors has been a poll circulated by the Women's Conference Committee (composegl 7f Women's League President Nan- cy Freitag, '65; Assembly Asso- ciation President Maxine Loomi, '65N, and Panhellenic Association President Ann Wickins, '65) re- questing a count of the number of sophomore women who would take advantage of junior apartment permission if it were granted. WCC 'included this proposal in, a series of recommendations sub- mitted to Cutler's office at the beginning of the semester. Based on an earlier survey of regula- tions circulated last year among undergraduate women, the recom- mendations also called for key permission for juniors and per- mission for all women with keys to leave their residences after clos- ing. According to the WCC, last year's survey indicated that a plurality of undergraduate women wanted these three .changes.. This fact coupled with the "philosoph- ically justifiable" basis for the chianges prompted the recommen- dations. Cutle Seeks Poll Cutler requested the WCC poll of sophomore women just complet- ed. Of 451 women polled in the residence halls, 317 said they would definitely move into apart- Yments if permitted. WCC feels, however, that the necessity for parental consent, which was not raised in the survey, would lower that number. Regardless of the decision, sophoiore sorority women will not be able to move out of their houses next fall. "With rush over for this year, the vacated places could not be filled," Miss Wickins explained. The other two recommenda- tions would affect all women. According to Cutler, "these will be taken up in what we view as their order of urgency. It is es- sential that we move one way or another on the apartment ques- tion, but the sign out issue, for instance, can wait." WCC presented the same three recommendations to former Vice- President for , Student Affairs James A. Lewis last April, but they were not acted on. Lewis did, however, approve the elimination of junior hours on weekends and the extension of freshman and sophomore hours. Act To Prolong; Dock Walkout 'BEYOND THE FRINGE' A took at.
