in deciding the format for the
address.
He is reportedly willing to hold
another such convocation next
spring.
Activities Merger
Final steps were taken this year
in a plan to merge the student
activities groups of the Michigan
Union and Women's League.
The Union-League merger pro-
posal, in the planning for two
years, was approved in its final
form by the League Executive
Council, the Union Board of Gov-
ernors and the League Board of
Governors. The 1964-65 Union-
League Senior Officer Merger
Committee was responsible for
both initial and later drafts of
the proposal presented to these
bodies.
The proposal now lacks only
the approval of the Regents and
the members of the Union before
it goes into effect.
An earlier plan for the merger
had been rejected in part by the
Regents. The Robertson Report
had advocated merging the com-
plete Union and League structures.
The Regents endorsed only the
plan to merge the student activi-
ties branches of the organizations,
not the business wings.
The present report advocates
just such a partial merger. It pro-
poses to establish a single Uni-
versity Activities Center respon-
sible to both boards. If approved,
the merger of the two activities
organizations would become effec-
tive next spring.
H
The Regents will consider the
report at their December meeting;
the members of the Union in a
referendum in January or Feb-
ruary.
Student Activity
Among student activities groups,
a host of issues and events briefly
rejuvenated extra-classroom life:
WOMEN'S HOURS-The Office
of Student Affairs continued the
trend toward liberalization of
women's hours when it acted in
the spring to:
--Abolish hours for junior wom-
en on weekends;
-Extend hours for sophomore
and freshman women; and
-Allow individual houses to de-
termine calling hours and sign-
out procedures.
Working with the OSA in this
area was the Women's. Confer-
ence Committee, which had sur-
veyed 3400 women in an attempt
to discover their preferences about
regulations earlier in the spring.
AFFILIATE GROUPS-Panhel-,
lenic Association this year con-
ducted its first fall rush and ap-
proved a new honor code which
makes possible greater contact
between affiliate and independent
women.
However, the Panhellenic Presi-
dent's Council recently slowed the
recent trend toward liberalization
of rush procedures by defeating a
proposal which would have set up
unstructured mixers in spring
rush.
The Greek system experienced
difficulties when Phi Mu sorority
finally died after two years of
sparse pledging and financial
problems and the national arm of
Acacia fraternity intervened in
the affairs of the local chapter.
Sororities and fraternities con-
tinued the hassle over member-
ship regulations with Student
Government Council, as 13 af-
filiate gioups failed to file mem-
bership statements with SGC's
membership committee in time
to meet an extended deadline.
Regent Allan R. Sorenson of
Midland set off a virtual chain of
reaction on the membership issue
when he told a dinner of affiliate
presidents that fraternities and
sororities should be completely in-
dependent of the University.
"Fraternities and sororities are
private social clubs," he said. "The
right to discriminate must be
guaranteed to these groups" but
"there very clearly can be no form
or trace of discrimination on the
basis of race, religion or national
origin" at the University.
Sorenson's remarks drew un-
favorable response from Regental,
administrative and affiliate quar-
ters.
STUDENT GOVERNMENT -
Low vote tallies at Student Gov-
ernment Council's spring and fall
elections registered decreasing
student interest in SGC.
The spring election, which
prompted the birth of the Student
Government Reform Union (SG-
RU), a group favoring the aboli-
tion of SGC, and the Students
United for Responsible Govern-
ment (SURGe), an organization
formed to counteract SGRU, was
marked by numerous irregularities,
including the theft of 6000 ballots
the night before the election.
The fall election drew the low-
est voter return in the history of
SGC: Only 2,569 valid ballots
were cast. In addition, only six
regular and three write-in can-
didates ran for the six vacant
Council seats.
Also in the fall of the year,
Council voted to abolish the ex-
officio. seat held by the Daily
editor, citing a possible conflict
of interests as rationale.
Finally, Council became in-
creasingly involved with the stu-
dent protest groups which sprang
up during the fall term.
PROTEST GROUPS -- Two
prominent student protest groups
led the fight to win higher wages
and a higher place on the admin-
istration's priority list for stu-
dents.
The University of Michigan Stu-
dent Employes Union (UMSEU)
sought a minimum $1.25 an hour
wage for students working in the
residence. halls but was largely
unsuccessful in its attempts to
"bargain" with University per-
sonnel officers.
However, the administration
later moved to raise student wages
from the present $1.00 per hour
to a minimum of $1.15 effective
Jan. 1, 1966, with an increase to
$1.25 per hour by Jan. 1, 1967.
The Student Action League
(SAL) led student discontents to
a Diag demonstration and a
Hatcher open house, where they
were rebuffed by the President for
taking grievances to a social
gathering.
The SAL, contending that the
administration had placed the
student too low on its priority
list, won a hearing with President
Hatcher but later expressed strong
dissatisfaction with his comments.
Voice political party, in large
part responsible for the revival
of student protest, was found
guilty by Joint Judiciary Council
of holding the unregistered rally
and illegally distributing pam-
phlets in the Fishbowl.
NEW GROUPS-This year saw
the birth of one new student ac-
tivities group and the rejuvena-
tion of another.
The Board in Control of Stu-
dent Publications granted Offset,
a planned campus literary maga-
zine, permission to publish one is-
sue, despite opposition from Gen-
eration, the campus inter-arts
magazine.
Challenge, a group disbanded
four semesters ago, was reacti-
vated in the fall to sponsor a lec-
ture series on the "Challenge of
Communist China."
Other University events which
drew considerable response among
students were the graduation ad-
dress delivered in the Michigan
Stadium by President Lyndon B.
Johnson, a lecture given by George
Lincoln Rockwell, head of the
American Nazi Party, the winning
of the Big Ten football champion-
ship and the University's accept-
ance of a Rose Bowl bid.
