Detail Structure of
Union-League Plan
Conibined Executive Would Have
Four Senior Officers on Board
By PHYLLIS KOCH
Further progress on the Union-League merger was reported last
night as Women's League President Nancy Freitag, '65, detailed the
internal structure of the proposed new organization.
Her report, delivered to the League Council, was based on a
meeting last Saturday of League and Michigan Union representatives.
External structure had been worked out the previous week.
The executive board is to consist of four senior officers:
-A president;
-An executive vice-president, in charge of the total budget and
finances for the organization and the daily liaison with the business
'offies of the Union and League;
;- k j _ -An administrative vice-presi-
iu ; Y dent, in charge of the committees
and their projects, and
r -A coordinating vice-president,

ties, including such major week-
ends as Homecoming, Spring

Wellman Skeptical of U' Senate Refori
By JEFFREY GOODMAN
When University professors re-open discussion next month on
whether to restructure the faculty Senate, they will find the man
at the helm of the organization calmly skeptical.
While he definitely doesn't want to be a block to free dis-
cussion on the question, he does have his personal views.
Prof. Richard Wellman of the Law School, chairman of the
Senate's 19-man Senate Advisory Committee on University Affairs,
feels that the proposed reorganization of the Senate is essentially
unnecessary and possibly detrimental to the Senate's function.
He views that function as providing an "ongoing
tinuing structure through which faculty can evaluate
University." And he believes that the Senate's present
in the context of the overall University structure, is
rational one for fulfilling that function.
and con-
the total
structure,
the most
More Action-Oriented
Not necessarily so, according to the members of the Senate's
Subcommittee on University Freedom and Responsibility. If their
opinions follow the proposal they issued last spring, these men
feel the Senate structure could and should be much more action-
oriented.
The idea is that the 1200-man Senate-which meets only once
a semester-would elect a 65-man University Assembly to meet
once a month. The Assembly would be authorized to speak for
the Senate on matters of University interest.
SACUA, which now meets once a month, would meet weekly
and be cut from 19 to nine members. It would continue to serve
as the Senate's executive arm and liaison with the administration.
Thus, the thinking goes, the Assembly would involve more
faculty more frequently in the ongoing business of the University.
And the executive body-because it would be smaller-would be
better able to put. Senate decisions into effect, even though it
would continue doing a sizeable part of its work through its
numerous subcommittees.
The freedom and responsibilitycommittee goes even farther,
however. In its original proposal was a section defining general
and special Senate responsibilities in a form seemingly much
different from present responsibilities. While this section was not
submitted to the Senate at the spring meeting-and thus is
not formally on the agenda for further debate-indications are
that it will be brought up at the restructuring discussion, sched-
uled for Oct. 14.
Generally, one paragraph reads, the Senate should "enable
the faculty to participate in the making of University policy
decisions and in the appointment of leading administrative of-
ficers."
Participate in Policy-Making
Among other specific duties, "the Senate shall (through its
delegated bodies) participate in the formation of University policy.
in relation to:
-"The annual and other general University budgets, particu-
larly those features of such budgets which concern changes of
policy that occur from one year to another;
-"The directions to schools and colleges concerning prin-
ciples of appointment, promotion and salary."
Wellman sees an essential ambiguity in the whole responsibili-
ties section. If it merely seeks to define the faculty's voice in the
University power structure, he feels it is unnecessary, since
adequate channels already exist 'for the expression of faculty
opinion.
Inefficient, Ineffective
On the other hand, the proposal may be seeking to establish,
a greatly expanded authority for the faculty.
Yet this authority, Wellman feels, could not be handled ef-
ficiently or effectively, for it would conflict with the special
professional functions of the faculty.
And whatever its responsibilities are to be, he says, the
Senate-would be hampered by a restructuring.
AsWellman views it, the University power structureis
rationally organized. Through it, decisions of all kinds are
in the hands of men whose specific function is to determin
ought to be done in given cases.
In the hierarchy, faculty are best suited to furtherin
versity interests through teaching.
At other levels, they work with departments, schoc
colleges to exercise their expertise in matters such as a]
ments, curriculum and counselling. At an even more in
level, the administration's executive officers are responsil
trained directly for such tasks as mediating between con
demands for fipances.
Concerned, Knowledgeable
Through this structure, Wellman feels, faculty have a
quate means of influencing decisions at the levels wher
are most concerned and most knowledgeable. Not only do
Senate, through its myriad committees, provide a direct
for criticizing administrative policies, but the departmen
organized to allow maximum faculty participation.
In the smaller departments this is often provided by
faculty a direct vote in 'key decisions; in larger departmer
on the college level, power is delegated to the chairmen, dea
executive committees who are in constant touch with pro
"I see no need for new legislation to provide for a
voice which already exists," Wellman feels. "I don't thi
system is at all static. We are coming more and more
point where we can say with assurance that any Un
matter anyone wants discussed can be attended to by a
committee, which can communicate directly with the appr
administrative officer."
If, however, the responsibilities section of the proposa
expanded power, the faculty would be overstepping its r
bounds.

tRAP Inches Toward
Helping Nation's Poor
The Economic Research and Action Project took some small, al-
most invisible steps this summer toward what its sponsors hope will
be success in organizing the poor for social and economic gains.
The Students for a Democratic Society project sent about 110
students into 10 centers of urban poverty this summer and will con-
tinue work in seven or eight of them through the coming year.
Most projects involved organizing poor whites into small groups
for action on jobs, better housing and welfare conditions and schools.

At the same time, Justice Hugc
L. Black said he had been au-
thorized by the five other justices
here to announce that the court

the case Monday, Oct. 5.
That is the opening day of the
court's new term, at which it haf

Black, who supervises the cir--

said "it is a rule of law that courts
of equity will not enjoin the en-
forcement of an act of Congress
except under the most imperativf
or exigent circumstances."
On Aug. 10, Black had refus-

Richard Spear, speaking on "Some cliches about Japan" said
last night that the "correctness" of certain virtues or vices at-
tributed to Japanese culture "depends only on individual prefer-
ences."
Speaking in the International Students Association's "Aware-
ness" program, Spear emphasized the importance of direct ex-
change in understanding other cultures, particularly non-Western
ones, which are often interpreted by Western standards only.
"We must not merely be told what another people is like,"
Spear said. It is frequently a matter of our own judgment; any'
clear cut generalizations or cultural catagorizations only lead to
contradictions. Cultural classifications are seldom clear cut.
He pointed out an example of such a contradiction in the
common misconception of the Japanese people as "polite, reserved.
and soft-spoken" when actually many of them are "cool, violent
anl impolite." The fact that the Japanese may be aggressive when
pushing their way into a bus and then, at the same time, tranquil
and diplomatic when meeting someone that they know on that
and their "slyness and underhandedness" Spear went on to say
that once we gain a thorough understanding of all the customs
and beliefs, any other statements we make concerning the "right-
ness" or "wrongness" are only in the form of subjective personal
preference. According to Spear, before making any sort of value
judgment about Japan, one ought to know something about the
Japanese character and temperment, their concept of pride, group
cooperation and common sense.
The Japanese place great emphasis on the group and the
individual's subordination to the will of the group, he said. In
a classical quote cited by Spear, the Japanese say "If you want
to get on in society, don't make a disturbance." Spear brings this
in to stress the importance this concept has, not only in the daily
life of a Japanese but also in his cultural heritage.
Asked if traditions had been influenced at all by the modern
technological and economic changes in Japan, Spear said that
the cultural changes hadn't been great and expressed the opinion
that the Japanese wouldn't become very "Westernized" "We don't
want all the countries of the world to live in one big Los
