Eadie Sees Boost For Dorm Rates IQC Head Cites Building Report; No Consideration by Officials Yet VOL. LXXV, No. 126 By ROGER RAPOPORT Inter Quadrangle Council President John Eadie, '65, said last night he expects University room and board rates to rise against next fall. At an IQC meeting in Markley Hall Eadie commented, "I have been led to believe that rising residence hall costs will be met by an increase in fees for next fall." However, Vice-President for Student Affairs Richard A. Cutler 1:Y4 St Seventy-Four Years of Editorial Freedom A4&1r :43atty ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, TUESDAY, 23 FEBRUARY 1965 SEVEN CENTS SIX PAGES said no decision has been made Hoppe Gives Support on o on the matter. Eadie cited a study +made last fall by Vice-President for Business and Finance Wilbur Pierpont on residence hall fi- nances to support his claim. In the report Pierpont pointed out that students "have been charged a decreasing percentage for their total charge of capital costs in the past ten years." Pierpont explained the rising costs stemming from financing new dormitories and paying off bonded debts will require new rev- Romney Des ite NEW HOUSING PLAN: slatcher' s l int Plan Urgings Trigon Case By LAURENCE KIRSHBAUM In a clarification of an earlier stand, Interfraternity C o u n c i 1 President Richard Hoppe, '66, yes- terday voiced his agreement with a recent decision finding Trigon fraternity guilty of religious dis- crimination. At the same time, the newly- installed fraternity leader said Trigon will be appealing the deci- sion to the assembly of fraternity president within several weeks. The tentative date for the appeal is March 11. Trigon was judged guilty of re- ligious discrimination by the IFC executive committee, a student- alumni unit, early last month. The chapter was charged with re- quiring prospective members to take a religious vow "repugnant to persons of many religious faiths." Trigon was later given until Amherst Requests' enue sources. Fee Hikes Eadie said, "The chances are very good that the source of new revenue will be a hike in residence hall fees within the next two! years-probably this fall." He also predicted that if the hike comes, it will be made this summer after contracts are sign- ed, as was done with a $34 increase last year. "I think that unless the Univer- sity changesbits policy, the in- crease will be made after the signing of contracts," claimed Eadie. -Hike After Termj Should the hike be made, Cutler anticipates it would be made after the end of the current term. "Any increase depends on a series of factors including the ap- propriation from the state Legis- lature which will not be finalized until after the spring trimester." However, he assured that should any increase be made, "notifica- tion will be made ahead to the students." Not Considered Yet As of yet the Residence Hall Board of Governors has not open- ly considered the possibility of a hike in dormitory fees. The ques- tion of how to meet the acknowl- edged increase in costs due to such factors as increasing wages, will be taken up in the near future. In other action last night, the Inter-Quadrangle Council amend- ed a previous motion that Eng- lish Language Institute students not be given rooms in residence halls, made recommendations re- garding dormitory room deposits and blasted Student Government Council block ticket sales. IQC said that ELI's should be allowed to live in residence halls, but they should not be given spe- cial privileges on room assign- ments, i.e., specifically kept from doubled up rooms. Ticket Sales IQC said that since Student Government Council has, "proven beyond a doubt its inability, its ineptness, and its complete stu- pidity in the field of block ticket sales,". that all future changes in block ticket sales policy be "sub- jected to Inter-Fraternity Coun- cil and IQC scrutiny." IQC added that in view of the recent difficulties of the housing units in purchasing block tickets, SGC has, "managed to show thorough irresponsibility and ut- ter disregard for its constituents by providing impractical, short sighted, block ticket sales rules. The! IQC allegation was that SGC made premature. announce- ments regarding ticket sales and did not enforce existing rules. "SGC has played havoc with the usual machinery of local student governments by making unan- nounced, unpublicized, and arbi- trary changes." IQC charged that SGC has "cre- ated far more problems than it has solved in its attempt to meet a basically simple problem."

Copi PROF. JOHAN W. ELIOT of the public health school has refused to pay the balance of his 1964 income tax because, "much of my tax money is going to armaments." Prof. Eliot, a Quaker, said retaliatory raids on North Viet Nam targets had hardened his resolve to begin a one man war against wars. 'U' Professor Withholds Portion of Income Tax With a willingness to go to jail for his principles, though he doesn't think it will be necessary, Prof. Johan W. Eliot of the public health school has refused to pay that part of his income tax not already paid by deductions from his salary (about $100). "I am submitting my income tax form this year under great weight of conscience, aware that much of my tax money is going to armaments which threaten the world and provide no security to see if he can get several moreI members of the Senate to co-! RICHARD HOPPE Sept. 1 to revise its initiation ritual or face possible expulsion from the fraternity system. 'Hoppe, although a member of the executive committee, hesitat- ed to support the decision because he feared it would lead to a chain of investigations into what he called non - discriminatory chap- ters whose rituals contain reli- gious references. His opposition was one factor in the executive committee's re- fusal to endorse him for the IFC ,presidency. But the fraternity presidents elected him anyway and there was speculation that they would also overturn the ex- ecutive committee ruling on Tri- gon, But yesterday, Hoppe termed Trigon guilty because "a number of groups would find the ritual repugnant to their own beliefs and this would exclude them from membership." He warned, however, that the "struggle to provide equal mem- bership opportunities on this cam- pus is not only a process of in- vestigations, indictments and con- victions. It is also a process of education." Hoppe stressed that he would seek to channel IFC's efforts against discrimination into posi- tive informational programs such as counselling house presidents, sponsoring civil rights speakers and supporting Negro History Week here. He conceded that the way to equal membership opportunity will require "the process of levelling the ground first" by prosecuting discrimination. That is another reason he is upholding the execu- tive committee's decision on T- gon, he said. As IFC president, Hoppe will have no official role in the bal- loting of the fraternity presidents to determine the merit of Trigon's appeal. But his influence is be- lieved to be considerable among chapter presidents. In the appeal, the first discrim- ination case ever to go to the presidents, Trigon will have to volunteer its constitution and ritual documents since the presi- dents are not authorized to require them. Trigon President Harold Tobin, '66, said last night that "when the sponsor the bills with him. Sen.' Gilbert Bursley (R-Ann Arbor) said last week that he would co- sponsor the re-introduction of the amended Romney package, and noted that if Brown had not had the bills reprinted that he and Sen. Frank Beadle (R-St. Clair) would have done so. A call for a state-wide graduat- ed personal income tax will be included in Brown's fiscal plan, he said. Senate Majority Leader Ray- mond Dzendzel (D-Detroit) said that fiscal reform hasn't been considered as yet in the Demo- cratic caucus. He said that the Senate taxation committee was requested to niake a report to the caucus as to what the present and future tax needs of the state might be and what appropriations might be necessary in relation to the governor's proposed budget. The Senate judiciary committee is to report what changes in the State Constitution might be need- ed for a fiscal-" reform package, he added. Dzendzel said that these reports' would be ready by the end of this week, and that the Democratic caucus would give further con- sideration to fiscal reform at that time.

The time schedule for the Fall term will be out by Mar. 8, when preregistration begins. The time schedule for the Spring-Summer term has already been' published, and preregistration for that term is now in progress. Chairman of the course descrip- tion booklet, Gary Cunningham, '66, Student Government Council executive vice-president, termed response to the evaluation pro- gram good. He said about 8500 course evaluation questionnaires were submitted. All Departments The booklet will contain de- scriptions of courses from all of the departments of the literary college, as well as a few for courses from the business and music schools. Cunningham said that though all departments of the literary college will be represented, it was not possible to rate each course. He said most of the evaluations are on introductory courses and courses with large lecture sec- tions. There will be evaluations on some small recitation sections, but none on seminars. Cunningham said the descrip- tions, each about 200-300 words, summarize the replies from the questionnaires. They describe types of teaching methods, readings and exams. They also relate students' feelings on the relative difficulty of courses, how up-to-date course material is, and whether or not the courses are generally worth- while. Courses Not Taken, Questionnaires were evaluated by seniors and some juniors who were known by members of the booklet committee to be superior in their fields, Cunningham said.) As far as was possible, each stu- dent evaluated questionnaires only on courses he had not taken. Graduate stndents then checked Leaders Are Deadlocked At Meeting Yet Governor Agrees To 'U', President's Eight-Point Statement By LEONARD PRATT Despite personal urging from University President Harlan H. Hatcher, Gov. George Romney yesterday stood firm on his de- mand that the University hold up its plans to expand its Flint branch. Both leaders disclosed the im- passe after their meeting yes- terday morning. The two men were still dead- locked after a one and one-half hour conference. Hatcher main- tained that the University will expand in Flint and asked the governor's backing to obtain funds for the plan. Romney insisted on a delay until his Blue Ribbon Citi- zens' Committee can issue its long- range plans for state education. Methods of Control The immediate causes of their conference were Romney's state- ments last Thursday that if state colleges do not cooperate in the creation of a state plan for high- er education they may face "high- ly centralized methods of control." Hatcher said he asked.Romney for the conference after "we went to Flint last Thursday and found we were being ordered not to act on this." Hatcher said he presented the governor with eight major argu- ments for expansion of the Flint campus, points which he said Romney "gen'erally agreed" with. Hatcher noted, however, that although Romney agreed with the eight arguments, the governor kept returning to the stand he took later at a press conference. "If I permitted the University and the community of Flint to make this decision, there is no reason why other boards couldn't make similar decisions on their own," Romney said. Direct Authority Although the governor's opin- ions carry great weight in the state, he has no direct authority to halt the University's expan- sion in Flint. The state constitu- tion gives the Regents "general supervision of their institution and the control and direction of all expenditures from the institu- tion's funds." He said he had no doubt of the desirability of a four-year school in Flint, but said even the increasingly large number of high school graduates in the state "has not caused me to change my con- cern about a decision of this mag- nitude being made ahead of con- sideration by the Legislature and others who have the ultimate re- sponsibility of determining what our overall policy should be." Hatcher said Romney's reac- tion to Flint was "quite a shock," as the University has had "no indication" that the governor dis- agreed with its Flint plans. Ob- jection at this time was especial- ly surprising, Hatcher said, in light of "the fact that the pro- gram at Flint has been a mat- ter of public knowledge over a year." No New Branches His eight-point statement to 'the governor emphasized that in expanding its branch at Flint, the sUniversity is not setting up a new branch. Flint is, Hatcher's mes- sage states, "an integral part of the University . . . and has been so recognized for a decade by the governor and the Legislature. Plans for a freshman class at Flint are as orderly .. . as plans on any other campus. "It's a shame," Hatcher said later, "that everyone has lost sight of the 126 students who have been accepted at Flint. They are asking for the bread of education, KILLINGSWORTH LECTURE: Warns Technology By DICK WINGFIELD Prof. Charles Killingsworth of the economics department of Michigan State University said last night that modern technology creates economic effects which pepetuate poverty. Killingsworth emphasized that governmental measures, specifical- ly the tax cut proposals of the President's Council of Economic Advisors, have had their greatest impact "upon the soft edge of the unemployed-they have left the hard-core unemployment problem untouched." The economist spoke at Rack- expansion since 1947 has created one million new white collar jobs but, through automation, elimi- nated an equal number of blue collar jobs. Merely expanding pro- duction, he said, does not ensure jobs for the unskilled. "I don't contQnd that educa- tion is the sole factor in worker adaptability. Rather, it is sig- nificantly correlated to the other factors which can cause adapta- bility. Education is a part of status, presentability, trainability and all the other factors which combine to secure job opportuni- ties as a worker," Killingsworth said.
