Registrar Reveals New Pre-Registration Sys Will Replace Need To Use Waterman SNew Students Who Can't Sign Up In Advance To Pass through, Gym By LAURENCE KIRSHBAUM The office of registration and records has developed a system whereby students can both choose and register for their courses a semester in advance, Registrar Edward Groes- beck said yesterday. Currently, they can only pre-classify for courses, pass- ing through the maze at Waterman Gym to register. The new system starts a trial run in February for stu- dents attending the spring-summer term. If successful, it will be in full operation next fall when students are setting up their winter term schedules.

LXXV, No. 33 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 7,1964 SEVEN GENTS Six SEVEN CENTS Fraternity Brings C ha Membership Bod In Socialism: By BERTHA POLLACK "Complete change-not reform -will make this land of ours a paradise-a heaven on earth so- ciety," Eric Hass, Socialist Labor presidential candidate, said last night. Hass advocates a new "so- cialist society." Charging that, "there are no solutions to America's problems under outmoded capitalism," Hass said the present system is in- adequate to cope with automation. As long as industry is owned privately, "it will be a catastrophe for the working class," he said. Hass went on to state the three evils of our American society: racism, poverty and unemploy- ment. estimated 5500 students, pre- paring for either the first half or entire spring-summer term, will take part. Pre-Classify They will pre-classify with their counselor then go to a specified place in the Administration Bldg. to fill out an exact schedule and other forms currently provided at Waterman Gym.I New students who could not pre- register will continue to use Wa- terman. Related Policies Groesbeck is recommending a related policy whereby students vii make a $40-50 down payment on tuition at the same time. This would be forfeited if the student fails to come back, but guarantees him a space, Groesbeck explain- ed. The remainder woild be paid during the semester. The new registration-classifica- tion system will not affect stu- dents who sign up this spring for fall courses. They will register and pay tuition .in Waterman before the semester opens. Justification Explaining the theory behind the new system, Groesbeck stress- ed it will benefit both students and administrators. "We want to find out what students want-and make provisions for them," he said. See NEW, Page 2 ie ental Post Still Unfilled By Romny Gov. George Romney has not yet filled the vacant Regental seat created by, the death of Regent William McInally of Jackson Aug. 22. i A source close to the governor said yesterday there is no indica- tion when the appointment will be made. He raised the possibility that Romney will wait until after the election to fill the seat. Lindemer Romney is reportedly favoring Lawrence Lindemer of Stock- bridge, a former law student here and Republican state chairman. However, the spokesman said there has been some opposition from the Flint area. Citizens there apparently want a . strong influence on University 'policy4making when the two-year Flint College is enlarged into a four-year institution next fall. Not Scheduledl The Regents are not scheduled to meet again until Oct. 23. They held their September meeting with only seven members. Regent McInally was one of three Republicans on the gov-.. erning body. There are six Demo- crats. 1 At the time of his death, Regent McInally's colleague, Regent Eu- gene B. Power of Ann Arbor, called his loss "a serious blow to the University, for he was liberal, ex- perienced, able and interested." F s i i f i rges Against * * *. * * * * * Letldges Move from Dorms On Alleged Vii ";0 Board Urges ,Wage Raise or Students The Residence Hall Board of Governors yesterday unanimously approved a motion urging that' the University raise the basic wage rate for students working in the residence halls to $1.25 an hour. This would be about a 15 per cent increase over present rates, and would affect about 1000 students working in the halls. The proposal will be studied ini coming weeks by the residence halls business office, the Univer- sity personnel office and Service Enterprises, Inc., Peter Ostafin, assistant to the vice-president for student affairs, said last night. Tle administration will decide whether or not such a wage raise would be advisable considering current dormitory business condi- tions, he said. Prof. Frank Braun of the Ger- man department, a member of the board, presented the motion. It. was seconded by Inter-Quadrangle President John Eadie, '65. Approval of the motion recom- mending a raise in residence hall wages comes on the heels of a student labor shortage in the halls. In addition, a student union was recently formed to raise rates for student workers. The student union came as aa result of action by an ad hoc committee of Student Government Council. The aim of the union is to have power to negotiate with administration officials regarding. the wages, hours and working conditions of student employes. It is not affiliated.with SGC. The SGC committee investigat- ed student minimum wages at other universities, and reported that minimum wages at the Uni- versity of Wisconsin and Michigan State University are 25-35-centsa an hour above those at the University. Assembly House Council passed unanimously Monday a motion endorsing the student union. Pres- ident of AHC Maxine Loomis, '65, presented the motiorn requesting that the group "endorse in philos- ophy and action the plans pre- sented by Barry Bluestone, '66, for the student union." Bluestone spoke to the council meeting later to explain the purposes and func- tions of the group. v4 Inadequate He indicated that the presenti American system of .reform is in- adequate to solve the civil rights crisis. In order to serve the best in- terests of all the people the "ab- solete" states should be done away with. He proposed the substitu- tion of a Union Congress, in which the nation would be grouped in- dustrially. "It would, then be the duty of the government to decide the amount of goods needed and' produced," said Hass. Great Fear In the area of unemployment he expressed great fear of automation and quoted Supreme Court Jus- tice William O. Douglas, "When, the machine replaces man, who' will own the machines and receive the. profit?" Hass said that if the machines remain in private hands the out- come will be a "catastrophe." - He envisioned a "true and mean- ingful brotherhood between men" -when we own the industries and services socially." According to Hass the establish- menu of a socialist society will. create peace between nations. He said that the conflict between East and West is economic. Once competition is abolished, there will be no cause for conflict. Stating that the American con- stitution recognizes the need for change, Hass explained that "we must break away from outmoded capitalism and establish new in- stitutions." -Daly-Algis Kaupas BARRY BLUESTONE, '65, SGC member, spoke out against ad- ministrative policy in a noon. rally yesterday on the Diag.

Student ,Group ir Grievances on Diag By MERLE JACOB Two hundred students, spurred by the recent protests at the University of California, expressed their grievances against the admin- istration and the state at a Diag rally yesterday. The group, led by Barry Bluestone, '66, and Richard Horevitz, '67, then went to University President Harlan Hatcher's house to present their demands. Bluestone called on the group to arouse a huge student protest which could effectively force the administration to act on the griev- ances./He emphasized that only the unified mass action of the stu-. dents could bring about the desired changes, and he cited the effective force of mass protest at the California school. Bluestone said that the administration has placed the student too low on its priority list. "The University is ,an educational institution, not a factory, but by not making new plans to provide for the influx 6f students, the administration is not providing a decent liberal education for stu- dents," he said. "While dorm rates have gone 'Vp, student wages have stayed at the same level so that this year student employes are- actually earning less," he pointed out.'"We have 800 overcrowded students here this year, yet the University has no plans for new dorms to relieve the situation. Something is wrong here, and something must be done now." Horevitz, chairman of Voice political party, called on the students to come to a mass meeting at the Michigan Union today at 7:30 p.m. in the third floor conference room. The meeting will be to form a "student action league" to raise mass support for the grievances, he said. A spokesman for the students said last night a group of students currently in "doubled up" residence hall rooms plan to present an- other list of demands to Residence Halls Director Eugene Haun. He said the demands would be on a petition signed by more than 200 students living in residence halls. Applies to Those Above First Year Residence Hall Body' Supports Proposed Admiistration Action By ROBERT HIPPLER The Residence Hall Board of Governors unanimously supported yesterday a plan to allow this fall's' fraternity and sorority pledges above the freshman level to move out of the residence halls into their affiliate houses. The plan, which is aimed at alleviating the current residence hall crowding, will involve about 40-50 pledges, P e t e r Ostafin, assistant to 'the vice-president for student affairs, said last night. Upperclass If an upperclass pledge wishes to move into his house, he must petition to the residence hall con- ference committee, a group of residence hall administrative per- sonnel. "The committee will re- lease him from his contract if it believes his new housing would provide comparable study and liv- ing conditions," Ostafin com- mented. Ostafin emphasized that the, board approved the plan as a, measure to be used this year only. Administrators have not yet de- cided whether to continue the plan into next year, he said. 250 Over Capacity At present, the residence halls are serving about 250 more stu- dents than their normal capacity.' As a result, about 800 students are living in rooms to which the Uni- versity has added an extra man.' If all pledges eligible moved out of the dorms, about 50 rooms would revert to their normal capacity. Though the University is open- ing the 600-man North Campus Cedar Bend housing project next fall, administrative officials have predicted that due to a new influx of freshmen, the residence halls will be about as crowded then as they are now. The University, while holding out-state enrollment constant, has been admitting all in-state fresh- men it thinks can do the work. The present crowding resulted from the fact that the University See BOARD, Page 2 Trig( or ancestry." First step1 Submission of an indictment to the executive committee is the first step in judicial proceedings. The executive committee will hold a hearing ;i the near future to consider the Trigon case. The specific date has not been set. If Trigon is found guilty, it may be deprived of all privileges that are regulated by IFC. These privileges include -such things as participation in IFC sponsored 'ush, social and intra- mural programs. Trigon has had a chapter at the University since 1905. It is a local fraternity with no national organization.. Service to God Founded by an Episcopal men's' group, it still lists religious parti- cipation and service to God as a major goal. A description of Tri- gon in this fall's IFC rush book- let points out that, "although the brothers come from widely varied religious backgrounds," their com- mon aim is to "live their religious faiths rather than merely profess- ing them." The Trigon case is the first ac- tion initiated by the IFC member- ship committee, which was estab- lished last fall. Before formation of the IFC group, fraternity membership vio- lations were handled by a Student Government Council committee. This SGC group still has ulti- mate authority over fraternity vio- lations in that SGC membership regulations apply to all student or- ganizations on campus. The SGC committee has ac- cess to all records of IFC's mem- bership body, and, if upon inves- tigation the SGC group finds Tri- gon in -violation of membership rules, it can bring the matter be- fore its membership tribunal. In the end Trigon could conceivably lose recognition as a campus or- ganization. The membership committee, however, is forbidden to divulge information pertaining to cases that might, be before it, and thus the status of, Trigon in relation' to SGC is not publicly known. In other action at last night's IFC meeting, Alpha Epsilon Pi was fined $300 for conduct unbecom-. ing a fraternity. Two hundred dol- lars of the fine was suspended, contingent on good conduct until the end of the fall semester of 1965.

By JEFFREY GOODMAN and JEREMY RAVEN Administrators and faculty in the literary college are deeply con- cerned with how the college will accommodate itself to growth. Some question whether it should grow at all. Their concern stems from en- rollment projections for 1970 and 1975 compiled by the Office. of Academic Affairs. The OAA's fig- ures assume the University will continue to enroll its present pro- portion of Michigan students who attend state schools. To maintain this proportion, the University would probably grow to over 42,000 on the Ann Arbor campus 'alone and more than 50,- 000 overall by 1975. ditional 21,000 or more students. Many others feel that, even were the University to secure all necessary facilities in time, it would become so big that its tra- ditional academic quality would be impaired. Some of these men would slow growth down by tight- ening admissions policies. Others, accepting growth, seek less radical means of alleviating its disad- vantages. Among those accepting growth, many consider that the University has a moral obligation to help educate they increasing number of qualified high school graduates. Larger Proportion This number is not simply the function of a booming population, but also of the larger proportion of high school graduates attending cision the college makes on growth will be tempered by those made in all other colleges. Providing num- erous "service courses"-from freshman English to basic science classes-to students in other un- dergraduate colleges, the literary {f college is considerably enlarged by enrollment increases in the rest S. v .....of the University. While the implications of growth continue to arise in discussions- and will probably never be resolv- f ed to everyone's satisfaction-the college is proceeding with con- crete plans for adjusting to the problem. Enumerating the plans, Dean William Haber commented that numerous new buildings 'will play an important role. Eventually, the literary college will occunv nace include buildings for mathematics, social sciences and psychology. The opening of the residential college-a small integrated living ant learning unit-beginning in 1966 or 1967 will not only alleviate pressures on the central campus but provide opportunities for edu- cational innovations. Three or four additional residential colleges are being considered for the more dis- tant future. A further factor which will as- sist in absorbing more students is year-round operations, scheduled to begin with a full third semester this summer.! The University has already in- dicated it will encourage students to enroll for one or both of the two half-terms to be offered with- in the th imt,.m- 7tm a I
