LXXV, No. 130 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SATURDAY, 27 FEBRUARY 1965 SEVEN CENTS SIX PAGES U.S. Judge Sets OSA Clarifies Women 's Apartment Policy Trial for Whites Charges 17 with Misdemeanors In Killings of Civil Rights Workers By The Associated Press MERIDIAN, Miss.-A federal judge ruled yesterday that 17 white men must stand trial on misdemeanor charges in connection with the slaying of three civil rights workers last summer. Mean- while, a Negro became the first casualty of Alabama's civil rights struggle. Judge Harold Cox set no date for the trial in rejecting defense motions to dismiss the misdemeanor indictment-as he did a more serious felony indictment Thursday. In Washington, a Justice Department spokesman said the way has been paved for a full-fledged trial of the 17 men-a trial in which all of the evidence that could have been used in a felony trial can be brought to light. The 17 were arrested last month following a massive Federal Bu- reau of Investigation investiga- tion into the murders of Michael Schwerner and Andrew Goodman, white New oYrkers, and James Chaney, Meridian Negro. By LAURENCE KIRSHBAUM The Office of Student Affairs yesterday warned apartment- hunting women who will be juniors next fall that they can't sign a contract for a space in an uncompleted building. The office fears many of promised spaces will not be avail- able for occupancy by fall, unleashing a flood of students seek- ing temporary quarters. The OSA warning yesterday does not, however, apply to women over 21, senior women or to male students. Their lease arrangements are not endorsed by the University. Reacts Quickly Reacting swiftly to the student administration warning, a local partner of the 18-story apartment structure now under construction on South University Avenue, said his firm has cancelled all agreements with sophomore women. Their deposit money will be refunded,.Robert E, Weaver said: He estimated that only 10 contracts covering four apart- ments are involved. There was no official word from city realtors who are man- aging six other projects yet to be completed, but several indicated their intention not to contract junior women in these structures. The OSA warning, clarifying its policies for protecting junior women in their first year in apartments next fall, came from Elizabeth Leslie, coordinator of associated and off-campus housing. To Be Enforced She said that the OSA intends to enforce the regulation requiring junior women to reside in University-endorsed hous- ing. This will be done by requiring a copy of the University ren- tal agreement before granting the apartment permission. The regulation was set forth along general lines by Vice- President for Student Affairs Richard Cutler in early February. He announced that junior permissions would be contingent upon parental permission and the use of a University rental agreement. At that time, however, he only advised students not to en- ter agreements for dwellings which are not completed. Mrs. Leslie was more specific yesterday. * "This office is well aware of the fact that those entrepreneurs who are managing buildings still in the process of construction are making private agreements with sophomore women on the basrs that their property will be completed at the time school opens next fall," she declared. Not Illegal "We realize that this is not an illegal or unethical way of handling the rental of apartments from the realtor's point of view. On the other hand, the jurisdiction of the OSA is over the students and not over the realtors. We feel an obligation to students," she added. She did not identify specific firms or buildings, but the de- velopment of the 18-story high-rise has been a source of major concern to the OSA for several months. Administrators fear that it will not be ready for occupancy by next August 15, forcing the 800 student occupants into tem- porary quarters. They have been critical also of the development's See OSA, Page 2 If you are a sophomore woman who will have 54 or more academic credits next fall and be under 21 years of age, here's how you go about getting an apartment permission: 1) If you're in a sorority, forget about it. You are com- mitted to living there next year. 2) If you're in a residence hall, there are three forms which must be obtained, filled out and returned to the residence di- rector by March 12. The first is a parental permission form which the direc- tors will have on March 5. This must be signed by your parents specifying that you have permission to live in an apartment off -campus. The second is a cancellation form on which you officially withdraw from the residence hall system for next year. This should also be returned by March 12. The third is the University rental agreement which must be signed by the realtor. The forms will be available through the realtors starting March 6. They should be submitted to the director with the other two forms by March 12. If you can't get them signed that quickly, then the residence halls will hold a place for you through June 1 at which time you would re-apply to the residence halls. 3) Remember that the University lease is only valid for prospective junior women when it covers an apartment which is already constructed. Senior women, women over 21, and all-' males do not have to sign or submit a University rental agree- ment.

Two professors expressed differ- ing opinions on this question at the opening session of the "Con- ference on South Africa" last night. TheUconference is spon- sored by the United States Na- tional Student Association. Prof. Thomas Molnar of Brook- lyn University opened the session by supporting the policy "supple- mented-and I emphasize supple- mented - by a 'Bantustand' policy." This policy would provide for eventual independence for Afri- can tribes. According to Molnar, this independence is envisaged as a commonwealth of small African nations politically independent but bound together by economic ties. Taking another position was; Prof. Hugh M. Smythe, also of{ Brooklyn University. S m y t h e maintained that the only solu- tion to what he termed the "po- tentially explosive situation" in South Africa is discussion of the problems which have resulted in and from the apartheid policy by all the parties involved. "South Africa has had two kinds of history," he explained, a white history and a black history. The apartheid policy is not a result of the British, he said. Molnar disagreed, claiming "it was a problem the present government inherited from the British." The causes for the apartheid policy Smythe cited included in- cidents such as the Boer War, which left a heritage of bitter- ness among the Africaners, use of. English as the primary lan- guage and Africaner as a second- ary language, which also left bit- terness among the Africaners. Iso- lationism on the part of the Afri- caners was also a contributing factor, he said. Religion also contributes highly to the apartheid policy in South Africa, Smythe continued. "The Dutch Reformed Church, which supports a very rigid form of Cal- vinism, also supports an apartheid policy," he said. The race ques- tion in South Africa is always viewed in political, not moral terms, he added. Molnar explained the apartheid policy by describing many differ-! ences between the situation of the1 Negroes in Africa and that of the black man in South Africa. "Here," Molnar maintained, 'the Negro is in the minority and could never hope to be in the ma- jority. Consequently the white man acquires, the psychology of the dominant rae."

Felheim said that this idea 'should be expand- ed and intensified for he indicat- ed that "the students are most GROUP with important in evaluating a teach- er's method and effectiveness in the classroom." Prof. Louis Weinberg of the en- gineering college said that "stu- dent opinion should not be the most important since they are not cognizant of all the necessary criteria." What is needed is or- ganized research on what actually constitutes a good professor, he said. Statements After saying that the statements made by Felheim and Loescher mostly apply to the humanities, Weinberg modified this by adding "manipulative skills are just as much a part of the humanities as they are a part of science and mathematics. Also, the apprecia- tion of mathematics or science can be as much an aesthetic ex- perience as can the appreciation of a fine novel or poem." In fact, mathematics is essentially one, of of the humanities, he said. Organizations Name Council Endorsements By JUDITH WARREN Endorsements of the Student Government Council candidates were released yesterday by the major student organizations. Voice political party has given its support to the candidates of GROUP political party: Robert Golden, '67A&D, for president, El- len Buchalter, '67, for executive vice-president, and Paula Camer- on, '67, Mickey Eisenberg, '67, Rus- sel Linden, '68, Steve Schwartz, '68, Steve Daniels, '67, Donald Reznick, '68, and Myles Stern, '66. The Young Democrats have en- dorsed the GROUP candidates but have also given their endorsement to David Sloan, '67. Panhellenic Association has giv- en its support to Gary Cunning- ham, '65, for president and Harlan Bloomer, '66A&D, for executive vice-president. It has also endors- ed Miss Cameron, Linden, George Field, '67, Neil Hollenshead, '67, Christopher Mansfield, '66, 'and John Winder, '65. Interfraternity Council has en- dorsed Cunningham for president and Bloomer for executive vice- president. It also endorses Winder, Mansfield, Field, Miss Cameron, Schwartz, and Linden. Assembly Association has not endorsed any candidates for pres- ident and executive vice-president. Georgia Berland, '66, president of Assembly, explained that Assembly did not feel that Cunningham had provided sufficient leadership in the past as a member and execu- tive vice-president of SGC. Fur- ther, it did not feel that Golden had had the experience needed to head SGC. However, it has endorsed Lin- den, Schwartz, Miss Cameron and Eisenberg as candidates for seats on Council. Inter-Quadrangle Council had originally given its support to Field. However, it was discovered that Field had stated on his cam- paign posters that he was a mem- back to the floor of the legislature on reform in resolutions passed after , the current hearings have recently at party conventions. been completed.

"We certainly did not think of expediency in clearing out dorms," Cutler said. "The Ann Arbor' Board of Realtors told us that there is an adequate number of apartments completed now and the junior women who wish to live in apartments can be absorbed. without causing chaos in theI apartment market," Cutler added.I Stealing Sign for Campaign By NANCY SUNDHEIM "The sign being used by GROUP for campaign purposes in front of the fishbowl belongs to the Young Republican club," YRC publicity chairman Kenneth Yeasting charged yesterday. Yeasting claimed that the sign was taken Thursday from the basement of the Student Activities Building without permission from any officer of the club. He said he noticed it on the way to class Friday morning. Ellen Buchalter, GROUP's nominee for Student Government Council vice-president, said that someone gave them permission to SYMPOSIUM ON POVERTY: Cohen Says End of Poverty Possible 'In 10 Years' use the Diag and directed them to go to the SAB basement for wood. She said that the wood was unmarked.
