SGC Sets Motion
On Speaker Bans
Demands 'Freer Expression of Ideas,'
Advocates Change in Regents' Bylaw
By GAIL EVANS
Student Government Council passed a motion with an 8-6 vote
last night that the Regents revise.University lecture policy, Bylaw 8.11,
to make possible a "freer expression of ideas than currently exists."
The motion, introduced by Michigan Union president, Robert
Finke, '63, recommended that the University eliminate "those barriers
in the current Regents' Bylaw which seek to deny the University freer
access to opinions and ideas and have as their aim the enforcement'
of predetermined standards."
However, the Finke motion stated that the University should not
provide facilities for speakers who advocate forceful or unlawful over-
throw of our constitutional govern-
ment. The responsibility for pre-
venting such speakers on campus
should be in student hands.
Institution Responsible
Finke said that the denial of
platform facilities to such speak-
ers was the responsibility of a
state institution.
The Regents are expected to take
action on recommendations con-
cerning speaker policy which were
developed by a faculty-student
lecture committee in the near fu-
ture.
Finke's motion was offered as a
substitute motion for that of Daily
Editor Michael Olinick, '63. Oli-
nick's motion called for the re-
moval of all restrictions on out-
side speakers and asked the Re-
gents "to guarantee all student or-
ganizations the right to sponsor
whatever lecture programs they
desire"
Powers Attends
In support of the Olinick mo-
tion, former Council member Phil-
ip Power, '60, who attended the
meeting and was asked to join the
Council, said that the usual ration-
ale for limiting speakers was fear
that a controversial speaker might
embarrass the University. How-
ever, he contended that academic
freedom should not be affected by
such fear.
At the start of the session, Coun-
cil president Steven 'Stockmeyer,
'63, read a letter of resignation
from former SGC member Kather-
ine Ford, '63, who will not finish
out her term as an elected Coun-
cil member.

To View
'U' Center
By DAVID MARCUS
The Legislative Audit Commis-
sion will tour University mental
health facilities today in an all
day discussion of the University's
psychological and psychiatric pro-
gram.
The group will see the Mental
Health Institute Research Center,
the Neuro-Psychiatric Institute,
the Children's Psychiatric Hospital
and the now-closed Veterans' Re-
adjustment Center.
Out-of-State Students
The group may also discuss the
out-of-state student situation if
there is time after the hospital
tour, Rep. Allison Green (R-.
Kingston) chairman of the com-
mission and House Majority Lead-
er said.
The VRC was legislated out of
existence early last summer when
the Legislature provided only $50,-
000 to be used to transfer the'
center's patients to other insti-
tutions. Its facilities are currently
unoccupied.+
Green noted that he has a
"personal interest" in the treat-'
ment received by the former in
and out patients of the institute.
"I've heard some complaints from
those who used to be served by
the Center that they are not now
getting the treatment they need."
No 'Formal Presentation'
Dean William N. Hubbard Jr.
of the Medical School noted that
the University-has not prepared*
any "formal presentation" to the
group but that administrators are
expecting to clear up various
questions put to them by the legis-
lators.
Administrative Assistant Robert
N. Cross noted that an invitation
had been extended to the com-
mission to hold 4 meeting at the
University this fall.
"Last year the commission was3
interested in figures on out-of-
state student enrollment; this year
they are concentrating on prob-
lems of mental health."
It had also been thought that
the commission would investigate
unified accounting procedures for
all state universities, but apparent-

Mississippi I
Board Meets
On Meredith
JACKSON (AP) - The State Col-
lege Board huddled in a closed-
door, unannouncedwsessionthere
last night in the wake of the is-
suance of an injunction by a state
judge prohibiting the University of
Mississippi from accepting a Negro
student.
The Negro, 29-year-old James
H. Meredith, is expected to arrive
on the university's Oxford campus
today.. His attorneys said they
planned to go into federal court
early today - possibly at Jackson
-to seek an order tossing out the
state court ruling.
Mississippi Atty. Gen. Joe Pat-
terson was at the college board's'
meeting at the university medical,
center here.;
Caught in Middle
The temporary injunction by
Chancery Judge L. P. Porter, is-
sued at nearby Brandon, left fed-
eral authorities on one side and
state authorities on the other with
the State College Board caught in
the middle.
Meanwhile, the Mississippi legis-
lature - with only two dissenting
votes from the House - approved
a bill giving the state another le-
gal weapon to control enrollment
at the university.
New Dean
Tells Plans
By GERALD STORCH
When Stephen H. Spurr was
appointed dean of the natural
resources school last June, the
school, as a faculty committee
put it, was at "a critical time
in our development."
During the 10-year tenure of
Stanley G. Fontanna, the school
had built up its faculty, moved
into the remodeled West Med-
ical Bldg., and developed its
wood technology department.
But the necessary "period of
consolidation" was at an end,
the committee said. (When--
ever a new dean is going to
be appointed for any college
or school within the University,
a faculty group within tnat
school makes a comprehensive
re-examination of its strengths,
weaknesses and potential, and
submits a report to University
President Harlan Hatcher
New Steps
Now, "the school is strong
and ready for new steps ahead,
but there is some difference of
opinion as to the direction in
which those steps should oe
taken," the committee's report
stated.
"Without doubt the direction
depends very heavily upon the
individual selected as the new
dean ..."

months in his current position.
Dean Spurr has set out to

points, maintain its general ex-

ANATOLY F. DOBRYNIN
... an invitation
Ask Address
ByDobrynin
By DENISE WACKER
The Michigan League has invit-
ed Anatoly F. Dobrynin, Soviet
Ambassador to the United States,
to address University students on
"some non-controversial topic"
during the current semester.
Dobrynin received an initial let-
ter of invitation from the League's
Education and Culture Committee
last May, and answered shortly
thereafter that he was interested
in speaking here, but was uncer-
tain about his schedule of activi-
ties for the fall.
The Culture Committee wrote a
second invitation during the sum-
mer, which was answered by an
embassy aide who stated that Do-
brynin was still interested, but also
still uncertain.
Writes to Administration
During the time which elapsed
between the second letter and
registration, Dobrynin wrote to
the University administration -
who, like the department of state,
had not been consulted by the
Culture Committee.
Director of Financial Aid Walter
B. Rea subsequently called in sev-
eral committee members, as well
as League President Margaret
Skiles, '63, to inquire into the ex-
act nature of the invitation and
Dobrynin's current status as a
potential lecturer.
Rea said the administration's
concern over the invitation is not
concerned with a possible viola-
tion of the University speaker pol-
icy (Regent's by-law 8-11), but be-
cause "it's customary for someone
in the administration to know
when a major dignitary may be
coming so that arrangements for
the speaker's comfort and safety
can be made."
Not Test Case
"We didn't intend this to be a
test case, since Dobrynin is no
rabble rouser, although it could
work out to be just that. We had
hoped that the administration.
would make an exception in its
by-law enforcement and permit
him to come here - if an excep-
tion can be made for this sort of
thing, it could weaken the by-law,"
Barbara Kahn, '64, chairman of
the Culture Committee, said.
"The committee invited Dobry-
nin because we thought it would
be a unique experience for stu-
dents to see and hear him since'
he could present first-hand infor-
mation rather than propaganda
about Russia. We don't believe
he will give us propaganda because
the committee intended to give
him a non-controversial topic on,
which to speak, like a discussion
of the student in the Soviet
Union," Miss Kahn added.
The culture committee also had

Will Rece~ive .Invitation
By MALINDA BERRY
"We feel research is useful to the educational process; professors
are better if engaged in a project and the students get fuller educa-
tional opportunities," University vice president for research and Dean
of the Graduate School Ralph A. Sawyer said yesterday.
Speaking at the meeting of the American Nuclear Society on
"Research at the University," Dr. Sawyer discussed some of the many-
sided problems which arise when there are more than $30 million worth
of funds to be dealt with.
More than one-quarter of the University's total budget last year
dealt with research expenditures. Of that, only $2.5 million came
from the taxpayers of the state, while more than $23 million was
allocated by the federal government.
Ten Billion Yearly
The government puts approximately $10 billion yearly into re-
search and development. Of that about $1 billion goes for research,
the rest goes for development, and half of that figure is spent by uni-
versities.

Opponents, mostly Republicans,
denounced the bill as the greatest
grant of power ever given a chief
executive in the trade field. Some
Republicans said they were voting
against the bill because the Sen-
ate had defeated amendments
they consider necessary to control
these powers.
The bill would extend the 28-
year-old trade law for five years
to June 30, 1967-the longest ex-
tension ever provided.
The heart of the measure is i1s
provision for the U. S. to work
out effective economic arrange-
ments with the blossoming Com
mon Market. The President asked
this as a means of providing new
markets for U. S. goods, creating
hundreds of thousands more jobs
and increasing the export .surplus
to end the troublesome balance
of payments deficit.
