Sororities To Host 950
As Rush Period Opens
By LAURENCE KIRSHBAUM
With smiles on their faces, tunes of welcome on their lips and
mints in their living rooms, some, 1500 sorority women today launch
their semi-annual rush period.
It begins at 7:15 tonight when 950 hopefuls, bunched in groups
of 45, flood the 21 chapter houses for their first of three days of
mixers.
It continues with a second set of parties starting next Wed-
nesday and a third set the following Monday, concluding with the
ceremonial and candlelit "Final Desserts." It climaxes two weeks

CI Passes
Noise Law,
The Ann Arbor City Council
passed a law Monday night pro-
hibiting the operation of motor
vehicles which produce noise at
a level of 90 or more decibles.
Democratic Councilman Robert
P. Weeks said this amendment
supplements section 9:13 of the
Code of the City of Ann Arbor.
The significance lies in the legal
. limit of 89 decibels set for all
vehicles.
At their December meeting,
several councilmen cited the East
and South University intersection
around lunchtime as one of the
noisiest spots. They believed
motorcycles to be the worst of-
fenders.
In other council business, the
Democrats announced the can-
didacy of Councilwoman Mrs.
Eunice L. Burns for the office of
Mayor of Ann Arbor. Mrs. Burns
has served on the council for two
terms. The election will be held
in April.
Also, an attempt by the Demo-
crats to vote council members
some monetary payment for their
services was defeated. Weeks
pointed out that Ann Arbor was
the only Michigan city in the
10,000-999,000 population bracket
which does not pay its council-
men.

ging and kissing and tears on
chapter lawns, where the actives
have _gt aed,,tawelcnme their
new members into the fold.
For the sorority women, the
next weeks are a hectic periodj
of decision-making: weeding out'
the best girls, resisting or suc-
cumbing to alumni pressure;
choosing between a late shampoo,
some hasty studying or welcome
sleep in the wee hours that follow
the membership selection sessions,
called hash.
The sorority system has spent
many hours in the last year gird-
ing for the next -two weeks. Its
chapter presidents council voted
last March to make the once-
annual rush a semi-annual affair,
devoted to upperclassmen in the
fall and reserved for freshmen in
the spring.
In recent days, the center of
activity has shifted to the chapter
houses where the women have
brushed up on their group sing-
ing, made their rooms appropri-
ately girlish and dug into the
dresser drawers for gleaming
Greek-letter pins.
Sorority women are spurred in
this activity by their common
bond-pride. The small houses,
pressed for members, prepare to
make inroads into the "status
house" prizes. The larger houses
groom themselves to woo their
"rave girls."
Soon, this renewal process will
be ended and the women may re-
turn to their studies and their boy
friends.
But for now, a more important
job is at hand.

Mandel Says Relaxed
Regulations Probably
Will Stand at Campus
By ROGER RAPOPORT
California students have appar-
ently won an almost complete vic-
tory in the political controversy at
Berkeley as plans to disband the
Free Speech Movement were an-
nounced.
William Mandel, member of the
FSM executive committee which
has guided the entire student
struggle that began last Septem-
ber, indicated last night that the
organization will disband provided
"the Regents do not impose any
more limits on student freedom at
Berkeley."
Mandel, here for a VOICE lec-
ture, said that campus regulations
relaxed by acting Chancellor Marr
tin Meyerson have largely satisfied
the FSM demands and would
probably stand on the Berkeley
campus.
FSM
Mandel also said that FSM is
currently cooperating with the
California Federation of Teach-
ers in an investigation of the Re-
gents.
He said the FSM suspects that
two of the regents are profiting
financially from theirassociation
with the university.
Allegedly liquid assets of the
university, normally reserved for
Investment in "blue chip" stocks,
have been invested in shares of
a corporation of which one re-
gent is a director.
Regent
The FSM thinks another regent
has similarly taken advantage of
the university through his posi-
tion.
The FSM, Mandel explained, is
cooperating with the California
Federation of Teachers, which is
officially committed to investiga-
tion and reconstitution of the re-
gents.
The CFT is in the process of
drafting a plan to provide a
broader representation of state
groups on the California Board of
Regents. Currently 13 of 16 ap-
pointed regents are wealthy busi-
nessmen. Mandel said some FSM
members want to divide regental
seats to represent labor, indus-
try, minorities, the professions and
students (for brief terms). Plans
are under consideration to place
this proposal on an upcoming bal-
lot.
Certain
Mandel said last night that he
was reasonably certain the re,
gents would not "issue a state-
ment at the January meeting that
in any way worsens the Decem-
ber decisions from a point of view
of student freedom."
If this were to happen, "A re-
sumption of highly vigorous dem-
onstrations would begin again," he
said.
He expressed cautious optimism,
but added, "We never assumed
they would be as stupid as they
have been in the past."
Friction
One possible point of friction
could be the report of a commit-
tee of regents established in De-
cember to investigate the situa-
tion.
Mandel said, "The committee is
comprised of conservative ele-

ments and it is widely believed
their intention is to issue a report
at the January regents meeting
'Red-baiting' the FSM."
He added that he thought it
was "likely that the regents would
let Meyerson's relaxed political re-
strictions stand for the Berkeley
campus."
New Rules
These new rules put down by
Meyerson .allow student rallies on
the Sproul Hall steps at specified
times, the use of tables to dis-
tribute political literature, and a
reduction from 72 to 48 hours for
advance notice on speakers.
He indicated that the students
would like even more liberaliza-
tion of the rules but that they

Norman Reflects on First Fe onths as

VP


EDITOR'S NOTE: A. Geoffrey Norman was appointed vice-
president for research in the summer of 1964. He succeeded Ralph
A. Sawyer. Norman came to the University in 1952 from the U.S.
Army Chemical Corps Biological Laboratories in FortrDetrick, Md.
In 1955 he became director of the University Botanical Gardens, a
position he still occupies.
In this interview Norman discusses some ofthecurrent trends
in research at the University and predicts some shifts in both em-
phasis and sources of support. He analyzes the problem of geo-
graphical distribution of research money from the federal government
and how this affects the University. ,
By ROBERT JOHNSTON
Q: You have said several times that you foresee a
leveling off in the annual dollar volume of research at the
University, from about 15 per cent this year to 10 per cent
next. What do you consider the long term growth expecta-
tions in research to be, and what are some of the reasons for
this present slowdown in growth?
A: What you are asking to a degree is to predict what the
federal budget is going to be for some of the agencies that at

time a significant part of our research money does come from
defense agencies.
Further, the great growth of support from the National
Institutes of Health for research in all the life sciences also
seems to be slowing down. Congress has been extremely gener-
ous time after time, but there were certain indications last year
that they were scrutinizing a little more closely the money
which the NIH is spending.
The new area that is coming in is under the direction of
the Office of Education in the Department of Health, Education
and Welfare. Additional moneys are coming from this source
to support our educational programs. So there may well be a
broadening and change of balance in the federal agencies that
are spending money for the support of higher education one
way or another, primarily through research. Overall, I would be
inclined to the view that such a change of balance will occur,
The pressures for spreading research money among
more institutions seem to be increasing in intensity. If the

of view that the proper and normal distribution would be an
equal amount everywhere. When you begin to look at the dis-
tribution of these moneys, the thing that confuses the issue is
that the major part of what is being talked about is not money
that goes to universities but is money that goes to industry for
contracts-primarily with the Department of Defense and to a
lesser degree with the space agency. If one looks down the list
of the first 24 receipients of R and D money, there isn't a
university present.
The moneys are coming from agencies that are mission-
oriented and they are going to industries that can help those
agencies to accomplish those missions. If those industries are
in particular places, it seems to me inevitable that the money
will go where those industries are established.
When one begins to look at universities, though, the situa-
tion is not so unbalanced as when one is looking at the total
R and D dollar. But here again, the awards of moneys are
based on some kind of justification in terms of probable per-
