A letter from WSU President Clarence Hilberry to the legislators stated the new policy. It requires groups inviting a non-WSU speak- * * * * University *f of * * * * * * * Mississ Agrees to, MVeredith Views Clash Over Bylaw Controversy By DENISE WACKER Tentative revisions in By-law 8.11 approved by the Regents last Friday has divided people con- cerned with the University's speaker policy into two camps: those who feel the proposed by- law change is adequate and those who feel it is a total disappoint- ment and an attempt to pacify the Legislature, at the same time making the University appear to be a "liberal, academic" commun- ity. Both groups feel the suggested changes are necessary and repre- sent, at least in part, a substantial improvement over the present con- troversial bylaw. Among faculty members, there was some concern that the Re- gents' action agreed with the rec- ommendations given University President Harlan Hatcher last se- mester by a committee appointed to investigate and suggest changes in the bylaw. Close Correspondence However, Prof. Samuel Estep of the law school, who headed the committee, indicated that the Re- gents' proposal corresponds very closely with the recommendations submitted in the committee's re- port. He indicated that he was satis- fied with the proposed bylaw, and said he felt it allowed for aca- demic freedom at the University. Most Student Government Council members have maintained some interest in the bylaw issue: seven Council members were pres- ent at the Friday Regents meet- ing. Generally Pleased Union President Robert A. Finke '63, who last week proposed a suc- cessful motion asking that the Re- gents modify Bylaw 8.11, was gen- erally pleased with the Regents' action. He said he approves of the ac- tion because the motion prohibits speeches which advocate unlaw- ful changes in "our form of gov- ernment - the Regents have real- ized that freedom of speech does not include license to act contrary to law and urge freedom's de- struction, even in an academic community." Finke added that he felt the by- law adequately protected academ- ic freedom, and expressed his de- sire for SGC to issue a statement of commendation on the Regents' action. " Not Adequate" Unlike Finke, Robert Ross, '63, felt that the bylaw "clearly is not adequate. I don't think this bylaw is any way less restrictive than the other. In fact, it should be condemned as being more restric- tive. "It seems naive of President Hatcher, or whoever engineered this, to say that an American Communist will be able to speak here, and expect this to satisfy the state Legislature. I'm rather glad they made certain changes like the abolishment of pre-cen- sorship, but the Regents' position doesn't answer many of the ques- tions brought up by a speaker ban such as University autonomy and the University's responsibility tc the Legislature." SGC president Steven Stock- Meyer, '63, agreed almost entirely with Finke, but he felt no motion of condemnataion was necessary "since the action Wednesday night indicated SGC's position. We have indirectly, already commended ommended banning the fraternity and the faculty and the Univer- sci+y of Wroensin Regents, unheld " er to talk at WSU to "state that their study of his background and experience provides no proof that his appearance would be in con- flict with the concurrent Resolu- tion" of the Legislature. Hilberry emphasized that the newly-announced WSU policy is only an "interim one". It will be in effect only until the Michigan Co-ordinating Council for Higher Education, which has appointed a committee to formulate a speak- er policy for all of the state's col- leges and universities, reaches a decision. At this time, WSU will likely reconsider its whole speaker policy, Hilberry said. "It does not seem to us that we should attempt to review our whole speaker policy while the Co- ordinating Council has this under complete and thorough review," he commented. In Ann Arbor, University offi- cials have not announced that they will comply with the Legisla- ture's resolution. University President Harlan Hatcher said Friday night that the new Regents' policy on non-Uni- versity speakers, which prohibits only the advocacy of violation of national, state or University regu- lations, would not prevent a prop- erly-calendared talk by a Com- munist on this campus, if the speaker did not advocate any of the prohibited actions. This indicates that the Univer- sity does not intend to comply with the Legislature's resolution that Communists should be banned from speaking solely on the grounds that they are Com- munists. Hilberry explained why WSU had complied even though the University had riot. He pointed out that both institutions are estab- lished by provisions in the State Constitution, and as such are free from most direct legislative con- trol over policymaking. Thus, he noted, the Legislature's resolution "is not a law. No legal compulsion is involved." However, WSU's constitutional status is slightly different from the University's and, as a result; "your Regents can exert certain kinds of leadership that no one can expect WSU's Board of Gov- ernors to exert," Hilberry said. WSU Director of Public Rela- tions Frank X. Tuohey discussed the manner in which WSU would apply this decision to specific cases. "We have said that we would decide each case on its individual merits. We will try to co-operate with the Legislature as far as pro- hibiting people who advocate the violent overthrow of the govern- ment," Tuohey said. Speakers who meet these criteria would be allowed to appear, he said. He noted two vague aspects of the Legislature's resolution which will make WSU's 'decision on in- dividual speakers difficult. First, the resolution asks that See WSU's Page 2 LOCAL AUTONOMY: Wisconsin Committee Recommends DG Ban ippi Board Admission[1 -(- Court Sees Contempt InRegistration Delaly Barnett Gais State Judicial Order Baring Enrolellet of First Negro NEW ORLEANS (R)-Under threat of court contempt, the Mississippi State College Board last night agreed to enroll James H. Meredith, a Negro, in all-white University of Missis- sippi. The 5th United States Circuit Court of Appeals set 4 p.m. today for his registration. Meredith would be the first Negro admitted as a student at Mississippi in 114 years. By ELLEN SILVERMAN The Faculty Committee on Hu- man Rights at the University of Wisconsin recommended that Del- ta Gamma be banned from the campus since it did not have local autonomy in membership selec- tion. The committee, consisting of three faculty members and two students, decided that Delta Gam- ma had interference from its na- tional organization which is con- trary to the "1960 clause" which, is university policy. (The clause states that no fraternity or sor- ority may refuse to pledge a stu- dent because of race, color, sect or creed.) The committee noted that all social organizations (by which it means fraternities and sororities) should have "complete autonomy Deems Data 'Adequate' Student Goveinment Council President Steven "tockmeyer, '63, ruled Delta Sigma Theta sorority's membership statement "totally adequate" yesterday following re- cepit of additions to the original statement. The action decreased the num- ber of fraternities and sororities who have failed to file adequate statements to f i v e sororities. Stockmeyer said that he believed the delay in receiving an adequate statement f r o m Delta Sigma Theta was due to an ignorance on the part of the group as to what SGC required. The sorority is the second to have submitted an adequate state- ment after the date it was due. The other sorority which turned in an adequate statement after the deadline was Gamma Phi Beta. I U Supends Three Students By The Associated Press Three students had been sus- pended, 70 others disciplined, and five fraternities placed on proba- tion in a scandal involving steal- ing and peddling of examination questions, Indiana University an- nounced yesterday. Dean of Students Robert Shaffer said that the final examination questions in a sophomore econom- ics course were stolen last May, and that the suspensions came after a summer-long investigation. in the nomination and selection of members . . ." It concluded that Delta Gamma did'not have such autonomy on the basis of action taken at Beloit College, Beloit, Wisconsin. (During the summer the Beloit Delta Gamma local was suspend- ed by the national for violations of minor rules. The suspension came one month after the chapter had pledged a Negro woman and Mrs. Russell Nash, an alumna of the sorority, charged that the im- mediate action was due to a dis- criminatory policy.) A letter was sent from Delta Gamma national to the Wisconsin committee, Jeffery Greenfield, edi- tor of the Daily Cardinal, said yesterday to The Daily. "The let- ter in a sense was a waiver in that it exempted Delta Gamma from any national interference in mem- bership selection." However, the faculty committee decided that the letter was mean- ingless since under the "1960 clause" the sorority should have. already had autonomy in member- ship selection and shouldn't have needed a waiver, he explained. Martha Davenport, president of the Wisconsin chapter, told the Daily Cardinal that the recom- mendation of the committee was drawn up without the knowledge of the student members of the committee (Greenfield said that all five members. of the commit- tee signed the report), that "Del- ta Gamma did not receive a fair hearing" and that the Beloit chapter case was not relevant to the Wisconsin chapter. The faculty committee's report will be voted on by the entire fac- ulty next Monday. Usually the faculty goes along with this com- mittee's recommendations, Green- field said. He noted that last year Phi Delta Theta was banned from the campus and forced "to go local" under similar circumstances. Seeks Better USSR Ties BELGRADE (')-President Tito said yesterday that differences with Moscow should not hinder a bettering of relations between his Communist regime and the Soviet Union. Tito said his views are identi- cal with those of Moscow on what he called a series o2 essential in- ternational questions. He told vis- iting Soviet President Leonid Brez- hnev, "I believe that I share your opinion that there exists mutual sincere readiness as regards fur- ther advancement of mutual rela- tions." I -Daily-Frederlck Kleinhaus CITY HALL STAND-Demonstrators stand outside city councilE meeting in a "vigil for fair housing legislation." The Ann Arbor Fair Housing Association hopes to persuade the council to act in the matter which has been left floating for several years. Appoint City Committee 1o Compose Housing Bill City Council, meeting as a committee-of-the-whole last night, decided to set up a committee to draft fair housing legislation in its regular meeting next week. The action came as about 50 picketers for the Ann Arbor Fair Housing Association took part in a peaceful demonstration outside City Hall. The Association wishes the council "to take effective steps to implement the unanimous recommendations of the Human Relations Commission to the council that{ it adopt a fair housing law." The subcommittee that the city council will set up in its next ses- sion till consider recommenda- tions made by HRC and the extent to whiph they will be used in pass- ing on its own recommendations. Council decided further to set up a commission to examine the report and suggestions of the Ann Arbor Citizens' Council subcom- mittee to review the city govern- ment as operating under the re- vised charter of 1956. The committee, consisting in part of Prof. Arthur W. Bromage of the political science department, Professors Paul G. Kauper, Rus- sell A. Smith and Charles W. Join- er of the law school, concentrated its report on the office of city ad- ministrator, held currently by Guy Larcom. It recommended the city admin- istrator be given direct appointive power over subordinates respon- sible to him, that his authority over personnel administration be clarified and strengthened, that he be given power to "prepare" and not simply to "assemble" budgets, and that the assessor and treasur- er be made responsible to him rather than the mayor. Soviets Stall Tax, Abolition; Cite Arms Cost MOSCOW ()-The Soviet gov- ernment yesterday announced sus- pension of its tax, abolition pro- gram, explaining that it needs more money for defense. The bad news for taxpayers; came in a decree putting off tax exemptions scheduled for this year. It said they were suspended until further notice. The decree was published with a long explanatory editorial by the government newspaper Izvestia. The brief decree said the action was being taken "in connection with the intensification . of the aggressive schemes of imperialism and the necessity for strengthen- ing the defensive capacity of the Soviet Union. The order postponing tax re- ductions, scheduled to go into ef-' fect Oct. 1, affected taxpayers earning from 60 to 70 rubles monthly who were to have become tax exempt on that date. Jackson Site The board offered to register Meredith at Jackson, the Mississippi state capital which is 150 miles closer to New Or- leans than is the University of> Mississippi campus at Oxford. Meredith's attorneys agreed. But thes.e agreements did not take into account Gov. Ross Bar- nett of Mississippi, who has sworn to go to jail rather than enroll a Negro in a Mississippi school. Barnett Action During the day, when the college board was being forced into ac- tion, Barnett did these things: 1) Got astate court order for- bidding university officials from enrolling Meredith and Meredith from trying to enroll; and 2) Issued an executive order ' which orders state police to ar- rest anyone who tries to arrest or fine a state official, Long Hearing Just before the long hearing in New Orleans ended, the Mississip- pi highway patrol announced a 24- hour standby alert. It didn't say JAMES MEREDITH Swhy . . may enroll Meredith told newsmen after the. a hearing: "I've been admitted a lot of times before."

Emese Szklenkay is safe in the home of her brother-in-law Ste- phen Dinka, a laboratory technician and doctoral candidate in the public health school. It is far from her native Budapest, from Paris and the tightly guarded Hungarian ballet and folk dance troupe from which Dinka helped Miss Szklenkay to escape last week. In a news conference at his home yesterday, Dinka told of the harrowing defection and of Miss Szklenkay's flight from Communist hands. He had escaped Communist rule in Hungary himself with his wife during the 1956 revolution, and it was he who engineered the fast-moving rescue operation with the help of a metropolitan Detroit ::.: .. . ,. ;..
