Basil Brown (D-Detroit), the com- mittee's chairman and Senate ma- Jority floor leader, reported yes- terday. "There definitely is a need for this authority," Brown said, "and the new state board seems the logical agency to have it." However, several state and Uni- versity officials- questioned the wisdom of altering the board's status before the present system has been tested over a period of time. Gives Control The proposal, a concurrent reso- "The state board would still only advise the legislature," Brown ex- plained, "and elected governing boards for each institution would be maintained. However, the state board would make the final de- cisions on matters of internal policy." He said that the state board would probably be most active in decisions on finances, long-term planning, and matters affecting the state as a whole. The University's decision to ex- pand its Flint branch this fall is in this category, but Brown em- phasized that the proposal is not simply a reaction to the Flint s ULUonai revision curing te pasts several weeks. The full judiciary committee will hold a hearing on the proposal Tuesday and, ac- cording to Brown, probably send it to the Senate floor. Two-Thirds Approval Such an amendment needs ap- proval by a two-thirds majority in both the House and Senate before going into effect. In ad- dition, Brown said that if the proposal is passed, one or two other amendments probably will be necessary to make other parts of thenconstitution conform to the change.

Creal chose not GoQ to Polls Mo Call Civil Rights Top Goal For Campus Republicans By DICK WINGFIELD A recently released final report of the University Young Republi- can Blub's ad hoc committee on Civil Rights stated that "the erad- ication of racial discrimination must be a primary goal of each of us as citizens." The report called racial discrimination the "darkest blot" on our federal system. It charged that those who join in demanding state fRegional YR Clubs Elect Dale Warner By CAL SKINNER JR. Special To The Daily CHICAGO-Dale Warner, '65L, was elected chairman of Region V (Michigan, Ohio; Indiana and Illi- nois) at the annual convention of the Midwest Tung Republicans here yesterday. The post has been strictly honorary and non-func- tional in the past. In reaction to Warner's elec- tion, Jim Conrad, chairman of the Ohio delegation announceduthat Ohio would withdraw from further participation in the convention "to protest the deal that Warner has made with the Midwest machine." Michigan has traditionally join- ed Ohio in its unsuccessful at- tempts to elect the chairman of the Midwest Federation (a group of 13 state groups). This year Michigan refused to s u p p o r t Ohio's favorite son, Conrad, in his losing race against Gary Fair- child of Wheaton College, Illinois. The Ohio delegation charged in a two-page indictment of the Midwest Federation that "the Fed- eration has as its role raison d'etre the fulfillment of the per- sonal and political ambitions of several individuals, and there have been no solid lasting accomplish- ments." The most exciting of many po- litical addresses. was given by ' Charles Percy who was defeated for governor in Illinois last year. "I intended to shock them," Percy commented in an interview with The Daily, after delivering a 19-minute speech outlining "a formula for Republican defeat." Its thesis was that Republicans cannot win if they run on plat- forms similar to Goldwater's. - responsibility are frequently those who wish to use the strength of the federal system to continue ra- cial discrimination in their own states. The report made specific con- clusions and recommendations in regard to Ann Arbor and the Uni- versity. Rights in City The committee concluded that the Young Republicans should continue to acquaint themselves with the civil rights problems of the city of Ann Arbor. , Specifically, they suggested that the Student Government Council's Human Relations Board send a representative to the weekly meet- ings of the Community Coordi- nating Council. This representa- tive would then submit weekly or monthly reports to each political action group concerned. The report added that the com- Smittee recommends that the Young Republicans conduct stud- ies in three areas: discrimination in Ann Arbor real estate tax rates, Negro participation in civic affairs and discrimination in Uni- versity employment practices. SGC Participation In regard to the University, the report suggested that the SGC Human Relations Board be reviv- ed to the extent that regular meet- ings are held and that all politi- cal groups as well as other in- terested groups be permitted to be represented on the board. The committee added that the Human Relations Board should co- ordinate and publicize all civil rights activities of the various University organizations and that the board should seek to alert the University to racial discrimination incidents and practices, as well as to work with the Community Co- ordinatiig Council to seek the elimination of racial discrimina- tion throughout Ann Arbor and Washtenaw County. Furthermore, the report said that "club action in civil rights cannot be rationally limited to the state of Michigan.

'Good Job' C i t y Democratic Chairman George Coash maintained that the Democratic candidates "did a good job of pointing out the dif- ferences between the two parties." Both sides pointed out the need for city planning as well as in- creased contact between the citi- zenry of Ann Arbor and the City Council.

Although there are no major issues to be decided in tomorrow's election, the city clerk's office predicts a voter turnout of 19,000 of the city's 33,085 registered vot- ers. Last year 14,480 voters went to the polls, representing a 51.8 per cent turnout. In the last mayoral election, in 1963, a record 70.9 per cent of the registered voters turned out. First Ward In the First Ward, Democrat H. C. Curry is facing Republican F. Del Coates, while Republican Douglas D. Crary opposes Demo- crat Mrs. Phyllis Wright in the Second Ward. The only incumbent seeking re-election is Republican Paul Johnson in the Third Ward. He is opposed by Democratic Prof. Joseph E. Kallenbach. Last year the usually heavily Republican Third Ward went Democratic by 173 votes. In the Fourth Ward, Democrat Jay Stielstra is vying against Re- publican John R. Hathaway. The Fifth Ward has Democrat Robert W. Carr opposing Republican Richard E. Balzhiser. CORNELL DEAN SPEAKS: ---- Big Ten Greek Meeting Ends making cianges.

It was decided at a business meeting yesterday afternoon to establish a central all Big Ten in- formation center at the Univer- sity. The center would be sup- ported by the various members of the Big Ten IFCs and Panhel- lenics and would co-ordinate all pertinent fraternity - sorority in- formation.

Overhaul LSA Faculty To See Proposal Tomorrow; Response Uncertain By LAURENCE KIRSHBAUM Acting Managing Editor The literary college faculty will take its first look tomorrow at an omnibus proposal to reduce and overhaul the college's distribution requirements It stresses the student's obliga- tion to select courses on a quali- tative rather than a quantitative basis by advocating a new distri- bution arrangement which should cut the average student's distribu- tion load by about 15 hours. He is currently required to ful- fill 44-60 hours of distribution courses depending upon his for- eign language proficiency. Lively Discussion Expected Even if accepted after what promises to be a long and lively discussion, the multi-faceted pro- posal will probably not take effect before the fall of 1966. It does not apply to students currently enrolled here. The proposed changes are be- ing offered as a report submitted by the literary college curriculum committee, a faculty body, fol- lowing a detailed study which in- cluded the solicitation of student views.. The suggested changes would relax requirements mainly in the social sciences, natural sciences, and the humanities. This lib- eralization is aciT-edW by replac- ing the semester hour, bulwark of current regulations, with a distribution system based on the total number of courses fulfilled. Improvement The revisions seek to improve the student's latitude in planning and fulfilling his academic pro- gram and to encourage him to take courses which are meaning- ful but which would not have pre- viously fit the distribution re- quirements, a committee spokes- man said. Prof. Louis Orlin of the Near Eastern languages and literature department, chairman of the cur- riculum committee, would not comment on the report. Dean William Haber of the lit- erary college has also declined to comment on the content or pros- pects for the proposal. Features However, reliable sources yes- terday disclosed these features in the report being unveiled tomor- row: Social Sciences. The report rec- ommends only three courses be required in this' area. Two of the courses would be taken in the same department, but present se- quence and minimum-hour re- quirements would be dropped. Current regulations provide a stu- dent must take a minimum of 14 semester hours in at least two departments, including a two-se- mester sequence in one depart- ment. Natural Sciences. The commit- tee urges the requirement to be reduced to three courses here al- so with the sole stipulation that one course be a laboratory and two of the three courses be in the same department. The current rule requires a min- imum of 12 semester hours includ- ing an eight-hour two-semester sequence in a laboratory course. Humanities. The present regu- lations would be eased, requiring the student to take three courses, with two in one department.Cur- rently, students must take 12 hours of work divided into a two-semes- ter sequence and a four-hour course in separate humanity groupings - literature, fine arts and philosophy. Math-Philosophy. For students who desire more math and philos- ophy in their programs, the com- mittee is recommending they be allowed to substitute one course for a required course in the so- cial sciences, natural sciences or humanities. T h i s substitution To Tuskegee By MARK R. KILLINGSWORTH Special To The Daily TUSKEGEE, Ala.-The Univer- sity of Michigan Symphony Or- chestra flew here yesterday to per- form a peaceful demonstration. The demonstration will be the orchestra's concert at the Tus- kegee Institute set for this eve- ning., The trip to Tuskegee is part of an exchange program which the University maintains with the Alabama college. After departing on a chartered flight from Detroit, the group landed at Montgomery, Ala, Police Escort Two squad cars of Alabama state troopers provided an escort for the three bus-loads of musi- cians on the uneventful trip from there to Tuskegee.

The 'Ensian's 22-page introductory section spotlights scenes of action: the fishbowl ledge, the Engine arch, the classroom, the car, the Diag, the football stadium. "Campus organizations offer all students the opportunity for active participation," states the introduction to the Organization section. Some of the best memories for alumni come from student organizations, where the action is: the staging of Soph show, rehearsing for Musket, publishing literature and the news, cam- paigning for SGC. Living Units Midnight snacking, beautifying, cramming, TGing, serenading, and other undergraduate sports are captured in the section called iciais had contacted the iFederai Bureau of Investigation; and Tus- kegee President L. H. Foster re- quested the state trooper escort after several worried orchestra = members' parents had voiced con- ?Ila'cern over the trip. But the Montgomery airport was completely idle and nearly de- serted yesterday, and faculty and administrators in the party ex- pressed surprised relief. "We'll save the violence for the concert, I guess," joked one viol- inist. The program includes Strauss' "Till Eulenspeigel's Merry Pranks" and Prokofiev's "Classi- cal Symphony," both boisterous _ compositions. Accommodations After arriving at the Tuskegee campus in mid-afternoon, the or- chestra members, with help from the members 'of the Tuskegee Choir and Band, settled in resi- All was quiet on the University front after protests of the last' two weeks. The University of Michigan Student Employes Union requested President Harlan H. Hatcher to prepare a statement of the admin- istration's position on student economic welfare. This will help, eliminate the breakdown of communications between students and the administration on this issue, it said. Student Government Council passed a motion supporting UMSEU's request. At the same time the University's Faculty-Student Committee to Stop the War in Viet Nam was not idle. The group announced its plans for the future which include an all-campus "Pay-In" to be conducted April 8 to 15 to collect funds for further activities. Activitiesnow in the planning stage include a nation-wide teach-in, a delegationto participate in the faculty Viet Nam lobby in Wash- ington April 17, sending representatives to other universities to help them organize similar activities and giving assistance to those people who will be attending the march on Washington. Role of Student Discussion of the role of the student in the University was prevalent this week. The question of Academic freedom was discussed by a panel at the University's chapter of the American Association of University Professors. The panel agreed, though for different reasons, that the establishment of a board to review student allegations of prejudice or error in grading would be unfeasible and perhaps detrimental. John J. Manning, administrative assistant in the literary college junior-senior counseling office, giving the first in a series of "Last Chance Lectures" emphasized the need for greater student-faculty contact in-order for the student to form an integrative principle of education and give himself some direction. Dean William Haber of the literary college, Prof. Arnold Kauf- ence units and met with their man of the philosophy department and Prof. Donald Brown of new roommates.
