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.
