Sunday night, the student offi- cers of both organizations met to work out a compromise agreement on exactly who would have control over the merged student-activities organization, to be known as the University Activities Center. Members of the Union Board of Directors held that they should have exclusive jurisdiction over the Center, but the League Board of Governors disrupted their plans last Thursday by demanding that authority be held jointly by the Union and League Boards. Somewhat amenable to compro- BULLETIN WASHINGTON (R')--Belgian paratroopers, carried by United States transport planes, moved into rebel-held Stanleyville in the Congo early this morning, and the State Department said that about three hours later foreign hostages were pouring ' into the airport. The dramatic rescue opera- tion was announced by the State Department shortly be- fore 2 a.m. The first paratroopers, drop-1 ped to clear the air field, met slight resistance from the rebels and suffered only minor casual- ties, the department said.

By SUSAN COLLINS The University chapter of the American AssociationrofUniver-' sity Professors has received no formal reaction from the govern- ment to its protest against the loyalty affidavit of the Economic Opportunity Act. The chapter has, however, re- ceived letters supporting its po- sition from Senators Patrick Mc- Namara (D-Mich) and Phillip Hart (D-Mich) and from Con- gressman-at-large Neil Staebler, Prof. Arthur Carr of the English department said yesterday. He is the chapter president. The local group voted at its October meeting $o enter a formal protest against the inclusion of the disclaimer in what is termed the anti-poverty bill. Councilmen Debate Over Apartments By JULIE FITZGERALD and GERALD DRISCOLL The disclaimer states that the applicant "does not believe in and is not a member of and does not support any organization that be- lieves in or teaches the overthrow of the United States government by any illegal or unconstitutional methods." It has been opposed by the ra- tional office of the AAUP. The local chapter's resolution against the disclaimer was transmitted to the executive and legislative branches in Washington. Over 150,000 Students It could apply to the 150,000 students who would receive funds under its $72.5 million work-study program. It also appeared then that it might apply to faculty members involved in federal anti- poverty projects and to volunteers in VISTA, the domestic version of the Peace Corps. In the interview yesterday, Carr said that he is sure further efforts will be made to delete the dis- claimer affidavit from the act. He added that the AAUP will con- tinue to press action, and that the National Convention of the AAUP will probably make a general mo- tion when it meets in April. A spokesman in the Department of Health, Education and Welfare mise, the Union agreed to a meet- ing to settle the disagreement, and apparently everyone was satisfied with the accord reached Sunday night. The compromise was basically that there would be a joint holding of authority over the Center. But the organizations' presidents dis- agreed over whether authority will be shared equally. League President Nancy Freitag, '65, said the officers agreed to make theCenter responsible to both boards equally - which is essentially what the League Board sought in its action Thursday. Union President Kent Cart- wright, '65, agreed that on paper the boards would enjoy equal authority, but said in fact the Center would be closer to the1 Union Board. Although the Center "must answer to both boards, it will be more intimately associated with the Union board. "The League will eventually have to realize that our plans for the Center are not similar to theirs. What we are proposing is basically different from what they are proposing," he said. "Cartwright is in the minority on these particular feelings," Miss Freitag replied. She said he was opposed to what the rest of the Union-League offi- cers wanted at the Sunday meet- ing. "We reached a compromise that he wasn't too happy about, and he is negative about the whole question," she declared. The others involved in effecting a merger do not feel there is a basic difference in the Union and League proposals, she said. "Everyone else agreed actively to the compromise, but Cartwright agreed only passively," Miss Frei- tag said. Cartwright will chair the cru- cial joint session of the Union and League Boards. Miss Freitag pre- dicted that if a united front is not presented by the representatives of the two organizations, chances of a merger in 'the near future could be killed. Cartwright will remain silent at the meeting, acting as a chairman only-without participating in de- bate, she said. South Quad Hit 1 c the federal government.

Eight Others At least eight major higher education organizations, including the American Council on Educa- tion, have indicated opposition to the affidavit and said the? would welcome decisions by the Office of Economic Opportunity not to apply it. .Qomplications could set in, however, if such decisions are forthcoming. John Bell Williams (D-Miss), the Congressman who sponsored the amendment to the anti- poverty bill which contains the affidavit, could decide to protest what seems to be a distortion of his intent. The affidavit was in- tended to apply to all programs authorized by the act, according to Williams. "If money trickles down to stu- dents," he said in a recent inter- view, "then they, too, should have to sign an affidavit." Universities opposing the affi- davits have charged that they could lead to governmental inves- tigations of private beliefs and governmental interference in the conduct of universities. They have also objected to singling out stu- dents for subjection to affidavit requirements. Proponents of affidavits argue, along with Representative Wil- liams, that "they are right and in the interest of the country and our national security." The Board in Control of Intercollegiate Athletics and the Office of Student Affairs announced ticket and transportation plans for the Rose Bowl last night. The Athletic Board developed a plan for distribution of tickets starting next Monday, November 30, and lasting until Dec. 4.

The trips are planned by the University and the Office of Stu- dent Affairs in cooperation with Student Government Council. Package Deal They are available only to stu- dents, faculty and staff and their spouses. The participants may have a choice of using only the transportation to and 'from Los Angeles plus the game ticket, or may purchase the tour package. The package deal includes tickets to the Rose Bowl parade and game, five nights in a hotel, per- sonal and baggage transfers in Los Angeles, and a box lunch on the day of the game. Prices are expected to range from about $100 for bus travel and game ticket only, to $200 for air travel and the complete tour package. All the plans will in- clude personal and baggage in- surance, but do not include meals. Students and staff who are tak- ing the excursions are not per- mitted to order any individual tickets from the Athletic Depart- ment, since a reduced price game ticket is included in the cost ofs the excursion. Students and staff who are not going by the excursion plan may place ticket orders in person at the Athletic Ticket Office begin- ning next Monday between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. A student is permitted to order one ticket and a member of the staff may order two, at a price of $6.50 each. They must present their ID card, fill out an application and will be given a claim check for a guaran- teed seat in the Michigan section.

She said the administration has accepted the plan which will en- able every woman to know the number of residents in her room when she occupies it at the be- ginning of the semester. It is hoped the plan will take effectsby the coming winter se- mester. It will definitely be used by next fall. Under the new policy, quad di- rectors and special investigators are examining all rooms to deter- mine their capacities. These will not be surpassed although Miss Loomis said that the investigators are discovering many current doubles could be triples. The reappraisal of room capaci- ties was prompted after over- crowding this fall placed several hundred women in converted rooms with little notice, Miss Loomis said. A committee of presidents of women's houses made a survey of residents placed in converted .rooms. The survey showed that while s o m e dormitories had smoothly integrated the extra women into converted rooms, other dorms were more dis- organized., In some cases, it was shown that women would return from classes to find someone had just moved in. leral Funds Enrollment VASSERSTEIN to dispense more than $10 million ucational institutions will consider hortages as the major criteria for tly in an interview with one of the rt Cahow. oted here, however, that officials y applications for federal aid have UP. -'N'rti 'ST -1hl l-WI"r-.WWT I t f i i MICHIGAN QUARTERLY REVIEW: Revised Magazine Boasts Renowned Authors The first issue of the revised Michigan Quarterly Review is off the presses.
