LXXV, No. 134 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, 4 MARCH 1965 SEVEN CENTS EIGHT PAGES House Passes Appalachia Bill; Sends Measure to President U' To Consult State Board WASHINGTON (P)-The Housi of Representatives completed con. gressional action yesterday on thi $1.1, billion Appalachia Develop ment Bill. This first major bil of the 1965 session was passed by a vote of 257-165. The House action cleared the Senate-passed bill for Presiden Lyndon B. Johnson's signatur without amendment. The Senat passed the measure by a' 62-2 vote Feb. 1. First proposed by President Joh F. Kennedy and endorsed b Johnson, the bill authorizes a five- year program of economic aid fo 360 counties in Alabama, Geor- gia, Kentucky, Maryland, Nort Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania South Carolina, Tennessee, Vir- ginia and West Virginia. In addition, the way was left open to extend the program late Burns Views Student-City "Relationship t By JULIE FITZGERALD Democratic candidate for may- or Mrs. Eunice Burns said last night a student advisory group to Ann Arbor City Council may not be the best means for the stu- dents and city to communicate. Speaking to the Young Demo- crats, she suggested students could better communicate their needs to the city by joining an organized political party. If they then find their needs are not being satis- fied, students could form their own groups. The student body is a diverse group, and a question could arise as to which people on an advisory board would best express the views of the student body at large, Mrs. Burns said. She added, however, that if stu- dents wanted to form such an ad- visory group, she would not ob- ' ject. Good Relations Mrs. Burns emphasized that the relations between the University and the city are good and have improved in the last severalyears. She cited meetings between the University city administrators and the three-member council commit- tee charged with meeting with the University. Full council meetings with Ui- versity officials and perhaps the Board of Regents may come about in the future, she added. Also speaking were the five Democratic candidates for City Council. First Ward candidate H. C. Curry suggested the city adopt the federal government plan for building low-cost housing. Planning Program & Second Ward candidate Mrs. Phyllis Wright advocated a plan- ning program for the city-plan- p ning with regard to people with special needs, anti-discrimination policies and the physical layout of V the city. Citing the reasons for his can- didacy, Prof. Joseph Kallenbach, of the political science depart- ment and the third ward, said he hopes to offer the public an al- ternative to "the laissez-faire Re- publican government in Ann Ar- bor." Fourth Ward candidate Jay Steilstra emphasized that winning the election depends on the num- ber of people who become involv- ed in the campaign. Students are important because they are counted in the total popu- lation of the city, Robert Carr * from the Fifth Ward said. He add- ed that voting should be on the basis of population in given wards rather than on the number of registered voters. to 13 New York counties orig- inally planned for inclusion but left out when the plan was put into final form. Before it can be put into opera- tion, the program must obtain fi- nancing in separate legislation. The goal of the bill is to pro- vide jobs and better income for more than 15 million persons liv- ing in the 165,000-square mile region whose per capita income is now about $1400-$500 below the national average. A sharp decline in coal mining is blamed largely for the econom- ic troubles of the Appalachia e- gion, but experts say lack of highways is another factor. There- fore, the heart of the bill is $840 million earmarked to build high- ways over the next five years to open up the region to industry and recreation. Allocation for Roads The Bureau of Public Roads has unofficially worked out allo- cation of 2350 miles of develop- ment highways and 1000 miles of access roads with state highway officials. But these will have to be approved by the Appalachian Regional Commission set up by the bill. The remaining $252.2 million in authorizations is split as follows: -$69 million for grants up to 80 per cent to build multi-county health facilities; -$17 million for grants up to 80 per cent for land improvement for a maximum of 50 acres from any one landowner; -$5 million for technical aid to improve timberland productivity; -$36.5 million of federal grants to cover up to 75 per cent of the cost of, restoring areas stripped by mines; --5 million for water resource surveys; On Future Explain Lag At Current:R, Branch -$112 million for increased federal grants under existing aid 1 p programs; -$5.5 million for grants for re- search and demonstration proj- ects, and --$2.2 million for administra- tive expenses. Regional Commission The Appalachian Regional Com- mission to be set up will consist of a presidential appointee and the governors of the 11 states or their representatives. House Republicans tried unsuc- cessfully to substitute a program they said would help an esti- mated 1400 counties throughout the nation at a cost of $995 mil- lion. The plan, offered by Rep. William C. Cramer of Florida, was defeated by a 321-100 roll call just before the final vote. - - Attribute Problems To 'Split-Level' Role Special To The Daily Set Sunday Recount Date For Disputed SGC Tally A request by a defeated candidate prompted Student Government Council last night to authorize a recount of the ballots cast Monday for nine at-large SGC seats. The recount, slated for Sunday at 6 p.m., was asked by Paul Pavlik, '66, who missed the ninth seat by only 15 votes in Monday night's tally. Seating of the nine new members was postponed pend- ing the recount. SGC's first president and vice-president to be elect- SGC Sponsors Trip for Five To Model UN Student Government Council last night approved a request for a $420 outlay to send five Uni- versity students to an upcoming Model United Nations Assembly at the University of Minnesota. Susanne Orrin,-'65, chairman of SGC's United States National Stu- dent Association committee, pre- sented the request after concluding that "no forthcbming help is ap- parent" from University offices. The University will represent Pakistan at the North Central Re- gional Model United Nations con- ference, April 8-11. Council member Rachel Amado, '67, reported her committee study- ing the method of selling 'block tickets for performances at Hill Auditorium had come up with no solutions. LAST ISSUE With this issue, The Daily ceases regular publication for Spring Vacation. Publication will resume next Tuesday. One motion under consideration calls for a random selection from previously submitted requests, An amendment proposed by Bodkin asked that block ticket sales be organized in the same manner as the distribution of booths at Michigras. Under this system, groups would be informed of the position of block-ticket sales by an announcement over a local radio station. Contrary to a report in yester-i day's Daily, International Studenti Association President, Yee Chen, '65, will continue to serve on SGC.1 -ed at large, however, were seated last night, and other confusions which had surrounded the all- campus election were clarified. The final officers' totals, which remain uncontested, give Gary Cunningham, '66, and Harlan Bloomer, '66, the presidency and vice-presidency with 2098 votes. Their opponents, Rozert Golden, '67A&D, and Ellen Buchalter, '67, collected 1,315 votes. Of the nine other seats open,' five were of Council members who'se terms expired with this election. The top five candidates will get these seats, which carry full-year terms. According to the disputed statistics, these are Pau- la Cameron, '67 (1,285 votes); Steven Schwartz, '68 (1,186); Mickey Eisenberg, '67 (1,170); Jack Winder, '66 (1,078), and Su- san Ness, '68 (1,028). The other four seats, carrying only half-year terms, were vacat- ed by Council members who left their seats before their terms had expired. Monday night's tallies give them to Christopher Mans- field, '66 (979 votes). Steven Dan- iels, '67 (894); Myles Stern, '66 (877), and Donald Resnick, '68 (851). Defeated in the contested count were Pavlik (836 votes); George Field, '67 (694); Harvey Wasser- man, '67 (457); John Bookston, '68 (377), and Kenneth Zucker- man, '68 (337). ' Not available Monday night were the senior class officers' re- sults in the literary college. The presidency went to Danny R.' Glickman, '66 (277 votes), who de- feated John G.

Niehuss told the State Board of Education yesterday. Niehuss' explanation came at board hearings on the current controversy over expansion of the University's two-year Flint branch into a four-year institution. His contention was in answer to a. charge by board president Thomas J. Brennan that the Uni- versity, while it originally planned to enroll 1000 students in its branch, has in fact only enrolled 400. Niehuss referred to the "piggy- back" concept, whereby a student obtains his freshman and sopho- more education at the independent Flint Junior College and his junior and senior education at the Uni- versity's Flint branch. Aiehuss noted that a larger per- centage of students obtain a bach- elor's degree at a four-year college than do students at a two-year college who attempt to transfer at the end of their sophomore year. In expanding on Niehuss' com- ments, University President Har- Ian H. Hatcher noted that the University experienced the same under-enrollment at its branch at Dearborn, though this was for different reasons. President Hatcher said the Uni- versity opened the Dearborn branch with only a "token class" of 40 students in 1957 because the recession in that year caused a sharp budget cut in the Univer- sity's request. He also told Hunt- ington Woods' Leon Fill, vice- president of the board, that the University will expand in Dear- born only enough to "fill out our original plans for the campus." President Hatcher's comments were in line with his announcedt policy of "full response" to any inquiries by the board of educa- tion. He announced the cooperative University policy last Thursday in response to a letter from Brennan criticizing the University's Flint expansion plans. Brennan noted that although the board found nothing wrong with the expansion itself, no major actions should be taken by state colleges before the board has a chance to review them. The most recent criticisms of' the University's Flint expansion have stemmed from Gov. .George Romney's budget message, which explicitly indicated the governor had not included funds for the plan. Senator Garland Lane (D- Flint), chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, attack- ed Romney's proposals and asked his committee to add $300,000 to the University's budget to expand Flint this fail. The amount would be enough to open the new classes, according to Vice-President for Academic Affairs Roger W. Heyns. SAIGON (I)-Maj. Gen. Nguyen Van Thieu replaced ousted strong- man Lt. Gen. Nguyen Khanh yes- terday as the top officer of the nation's 25-man Armed Forces Council. But he has only a frac- tion of the power Khanh wielded. The council announced the elec- tion of Thieu as secretary-general and said it had decided not to, name a new chairman, the post Khanh held while he was also commander in chief of the armed forces. Meanwhile, a United States Air Force jet mission struck secret targets in a followup to the widely publicized U.S.-South Vietnamese attack Tuesday on military instal- lations in Communist North Viet Nam . Supply Line Hit The Ho Chi Minh trail through Eastern Laos-a Viet Cong supply line raided sporadically through- out the winter-was believed to have been hit by more than 30 F- 100 and F-105 fighter-bombers. The supersonic squadrons took off with heavy loads of explosives from Da Nang Air Base, 380 miles northeast of Saigon. The expected French reaction to the bombings came yesterday from President Charles de Gaulle's gov- ernment, which expressed fear the war in Viet Nam might flash over a large part of Asia unless the great powers put the dispute on the conference table. De Gaulle's cabinet also expressed concern over air raids on Communist North Viet Nam. The concern and fresh appeal for a new meeting of the 1954 Geneva Conference on Indochina were voiced by Information Minis- ter Alain Peyrefitte after a regular weekly cabinet session presided over by de Gaulle. Thieu holds the post of Armed Forces Minister in the civilian cabinet of Prime Minister Phan Huy Quat, as well as his new posi- tion. The council also named three generals to serve under Thieu on a governing committee. Thi Absent Notably absent from the council hierarchy was Brig. Gen. Nguyen Chanh Thi, commander of the 1st Army Corps, who was a leader in the recent coup to oust Khanh. He has a strong political following in central Viet Nam, and many of his fellow generals regard him as a separatist leader. Nhen Khanh purged civilian governments in the past, he did so through the authority he held over the council as chairman. While the whole council will retain this power, it now may have a DESPITE A RAGING CONTROVERSY and hearings before the new State Board of Education yes- terday,-the University plans to expand its Flint branch, above, into a four-year institution. While Gov. George Romney has objected on the grounds that the state board has not passed on the expan- sion plan, there is also opposition from the Flint Community College - located in the upper- right-hand building-which currently enrolls only freshmen and sophomores. The, University's branch now instructs only upperclassmen. KHANH REPLACED: Thieu To Head Military Council more difficult time exerting in- fluence over the civilian govern- ment because of the division of power which the absence of a chairman introduces. The decision not to appoint a new council chairman apparently stemmed from a deadlock among the officers. By establishing com- mittee rule for the military, the problem of agreeing on a single leader was avoided. More Reaction Other reaction yesterday to the recent bombings of North Viet Nam was more favorable than that of the French. Shortly before the French statement was issued, British government authorities ex- pressed their strong support for the latest phase of the bombings. An authorized British source said that "as long as the North Vietnamese go on supporting the Viet Cong so fully, they can scarcely expect to remain immune from the effects of the fighting they themselves are fomenting." Place No Blame French officials had placed no specific blame on the North Viet- namese or the Viet Cong. Re- calling France's agreement last week to work with the Soviet Union for convening a new Geneva Conference, a French government spokesman told newsmen: lans Flint Growth To Continue On Schedule President Defends Expansion Before Board of Education By LEONARD PRATT Special To The Daily FLINT - University Presiden Harlan H. Hatcher assured the State Board of Education yester- day the University "has no inten- tion of establishing any new branches without the approval and supportof the State Board of Ed- ucation." While giving the board this ma- jor concession, which establishes board power in a field in which it had previously had no official powers, President Hatcher stood firm on the University's plans to expand its Flint branch. He spoke before a hearing of the board of education on the University's Flint expansion plans. Reinforcing the effects of Presi- ident Hatcher's speech, Thomas J. Brennan, board president, an- nounced Michigan State Univer- sity President John Hannah has agreed to bring MSU's major ex- pansion project, its two-year med- ical school, before the board "at any time." Criticizes Romney President Hatcher criticized Gov. George Romney for not in- forming state educators of his in- tention not to request money for Flint's expansion in his budget, even though knowledge of the Flint plans- 4as "been ~pulic -fo some time. He cited Flint's de- velopment since 1946, but noted Romney had not officially object- ed "until a few weeks ago." In other testimony supporting the University's Flint position, Edmund B. Brownwell, Flint Board of Education member, urged state board backing for the ex- pansion for three reasons: 1) "The state is being offered an incredible bargain at Flint, considering that it is being given $2.4 million for capital outlay, land and facilities already in ex- istence; 2) "Flint offers an excellent ed- ucational environment for the college" and 3) "The University has the ex perience necessary to create a suc- cessful four-year college out of its two-year base now in Flint." Urges State Support Lawrence Jarvey, superintend- ent of the Flint public schools, also urged state support of the plan. According to Jarvey, ex- pansion of the Flint Junior Col- lege to provide the needed fresh- man-sophomore enrollments is no longer possible because "Flint's tax base cannot be further ex- panded to provide the needed funds." Jarvey also emphasized that if the branch does not expand this fall, more than the already-ad- mitted 126 students will "lose an education." Because of the delay the state board would cause in developing plans to allow the Flint expansion, some 2200 students would be deprived of a college education by 1970,-he estimated. Contradiction Marvin Holme, president of the faculty senate at Flint Junior College, objected to the Univer- sity's expansion. He contradicted President Hatcher and assured the board the junior college could ac- cept the 126 students already ac- cepted to the University's branch if the branch should fail to open in the fall. University Executive Vice-Pres- ident Marvin L. Niehuss later not- ed the University's policy of main- taining the same admissions standards for the Flint campus as for the Ann Arbor campus may have to be modified. He said there is a possibility the standards may be reduced somewhat. Will Be Flint Residents President Hatcher said most of the Flint faculty will be Flint residents, as opposed to commu- ters from the P Arbor campus. Board membr lave expressed BERNSTEIN CASE: Attack on Yale Tenure Policies Grows By JEFFREY GOODMAN Dissent over faculty tenure policies at Yale University has grown to include a large, though unofficial, majority of faculty and students, according to an as- sociate editor of the Yale Daily News. Angered over the recent denial of tenure to a popular associate professor of philosophy, Richard Bernstein, students and faculty at times numbering over 200 are con- tinuing a round-the-clock dem- onstration which will end at 7 p.m. today after 72 hours. Yale President Kingman Brew- ster, to return tonight from a va- cation, is expected to issue a state- ment on the tenure denial some- time this weekend. If he does not promise reconsideration of the decision, numerous Yale profes- sors have expressed varying de- grees of consensus with the News' editorial comment. One professor termed the committee's decision "stupid, unfair, dismaying . . The tenure committee has de- fended itself in a statement by saying the decision "was made with the greatest possible care and motivated only by a desire to serve Yale andits students." This view was supported by$ Prof. Arthur Galston, president of' the American Association of Uni- versity Professors at Yale. Gal- ston told the New York Times he feels Yale's tenure system is fair. There' has been no other official university comment on the cur- rent happenings or on policy in general.

Davis doubts the protests will spread to other issues, as has hap- pened with the demonstrations at the Berkeley campus of the Uni- versity of California. "Yale stu- dents are too apathetic," he said. But there are rumors that other popular Yale faculty will be de- nied tenure in the near future, and Davis thinks this could lead to further mass demonstrations.
