To his left is Regent Eugene B. Power, who presided at the meeting. Hatcher Views Role Of Governing Board By KENNETH WINTER The role of the governing board is not to manage a college, but to make sure that it is properly managed, University President Harlan Hatcher said last night. Addressing a dinner of the Association of Governing Boards of State Universities and Allied Institutions (AGB), President Hatcher explained that trustees must find a happy medium between two ex- tremes of policy. The first extreme is giving a college's appointed administrators complete power; the other extreme is trying to bypass the admin- istrators and run the school di- Hear Speech By S wainson Gov. John B. Swainson, in Ann Arbor last night to extend his greetings to The Association of Governing Boards of State Uni- versities and Allied Institutions, said that "only the voting public" will be able to decide the effects of the television debates between him and his opponent Republican George Romney. "Any prediction would be pre- sumptuous," he added. Swainson also said that the reception of President John F. Kennedy on his visit to the state showed the President's "tremen- dous popularity in Michigan," but he declined to comment on how his visit might influence, the elec- torate. Later, in a brief speech before the association, Swainson' said, "We are very proud of the ac- complishments of our state sup- ported institutions of higher edu- cation, and keenly aware of their unfilled needs." He cited the need for expansion of higher educational facilities in order to accommodate "the flood of youth clamoring for the tools they need to be useful members of society in this age of whirlwind accumulation of knowledge . . Swainson also pointed out the growth of community colleges throughout the state which now. have an enrollment of 34,000. At their present rate of growth, they will be able to accommodate 150,- 000 students within the next 10 years, he said. Power Says Speaker Rue Still Unsettled "We seem to agree on the philosophy but disagree on the implementation of a speaker policy, and that hasn't been set- tled yet." This was Regent Eugene B. Power's initial reaction yesterday to a letter to the Regents from 20 student leaders. The letter both praises and criticizes the Regents' proposed new bylaw on speakers. Power said he agrees with the philosophy of free inqury stressed in the letter and stated in the proposed bylaw. Mid-November Implementation has not yet been completely worked out, he continued, and won't be until mid- November, after agreement is reached by the Michigan Co-ord- inating Council for Higher Edu- cation on a suggested state-wide college speaker philosophy. Each institution would be expected to implement the philosophy accord- rectly. } Puzzling Role Consequently, "the role of the trustee in the enterprise continues to puzzle board members," and their role must be constantly re- evaluated, President Hatcher com- mented. Several other factors compound the difficulties of being a trustee, President Hatcher continued. The high turnover of governing board members, and the fact that most trustees are laymen with no pre- vious experience in the field of education, are two examples. "Theoretically, the trustee sys- tem shouldn't work at all-but it does," President Hatcher remark- ed. He went on to cite some of the significant achievements of this theoretically unworkable system. Precious Freedom Most important of these is that the governing-board system gives a college freedom from outside control, an autonomy w h i c h "should be protected at all costs," President Hatcher said. Another achievement of the trustee system is the establishment of voluntary coordination between To Probe 'U' Land Expansion Cemetery Plots Called Worthless LANSING (')-A legislative com- mittee probing financial dealings of Michigan cemeteries promised yesterday to scrutinize arrange- ments through which the Univer- sity obtained 60 acres of burial land for its expanding North Cam- pus research area. The committee, headed by Sen. John Smeekens (R-Coldwater) heard two Ann Arbor residents testify that cemetery plots they purchased a few year ago were rendered "virtually worthless" by the $231,000 transaction. Raymond R. Fullerton and Phillip Seymour, both of Ann Ar- bor, are among 15 plaintiffs in a suit filed last year against the Regents and two Ann Arbor cem- eteries. Waits in Court The suit, which seeks to nullif the University's purchase, is pend- ing in Washtenaw County Cir- cuit Court. In testimony before the com- mittee, the men charged they were victims of "fraud, deceit and mis- representation" by the original operators of the Arborcrest Cem- etery. University officials have con- sistently refused to comment on the deal through which the Uni- versity acquired the land in Arbor- crest Cemetery in December, 1960, from Roy Hatten, who owns both Arborcrest and Washtenaw ceme- teries. Regents Guarantee The court suit contends that an Ann Arbor bank loaned Hatten enough money to buy out all other stockholders of Arborcrest, with the Regents guaranteeing the loan. Then, it alleges, the Regents purchased the 60-acre parcel of land from Hatten for $231,000. Fullerton and Seymoursaid they had purchased burial plots in Ar- borcrest with the understanding it would be preserved and maintain- ed as a 76-acre cemetery. 'Bursley Sees Budget Surplus For Michigan The state budget will have a $30 million surplus this year which should be applied to the $85 mil- lion state deficit, Rep. Gilbert Bursley (R-Ann Arbor) told the Young Republican Club last night. Calling this year's budget "the most responsible budget in the past four or five years" because it contains a surplus, Bursley said the added revenue comes from added nuisance taxes on alcoholic beverages and tobacco and from increased sales tax collections. However, he warned that the figures are somewhat misleading. The sales tax collection increase is the result of greater automobile sales which are unlikely to be as large next year, he said. Further, the increased sales does not reflect an increase in employment. Bursley hit Gov. John B. Swain- son's claim in Tuesday night's debate with Republican gueber- natorial hopeful George Romney that he had reduced unemploy- ment in the state. Bursley noted that both used the same set of facts, but that Swainson was comparing the number unemployed with the number working rathei' than with the total labor force, as Romney had done. MEMBERSHIP GROUP: Post pone Proposal To Alter Functions By RICHARD KRAUT After more than two hours of debate, Student Government Coun- cil last night postponed for one week a proposal to alter the functions of its Committee on Membership in Student Organizations. Originally proposed by Thomas Brown, '63BAd, the motion was amended to the point that several Council members asked for a delay of one week in order to consider the significance and possible rami- fications of the legislation. The Committee on Membership can at As Adjourning Looms; GOP Support Doubtful i' THOMAS BROWN ...motion postponed YEMEN: Claimn War With Arabia CAIRO WP)-A high Yemeni of- ficial was quoted by the United Arab Republic's Middle East News Agency as saying yesterday that Yemen considers itself at war with neighboring Saudi Arabia. There was no indication that he was speaking officially. His words were taken here with reser- vation. The news agency's dispatch from San'a, the capital of Yemen, quot- ed Vice-Premier Abdel Rahmen -el Beidany as saying Saudi Arabia has massed troops on the frontiers and had infiltrated arms into Ye- men, "which is considered an at- tack on the Yemeni republic." State of War According to the agency, Bei- dany declared that "this leads the Yemen government to consider it- self in a state of war with Saudi Arabia." The dispatch reached Cairo shortly after the U.A.R. had pledg- ed all its strength to defend Ye- men against any attack on the two-week-old revolutionary re- gime that overthrew the monarchy. Backers of the monarchy, includ- ing members of the royal family, have been attempting a counter- revolution. There had been signs that the government of President Gamal Abdel Nasser had prepared for any eventuality in Yemen. But only yesterday U.A.R. destroyers sched- uled to sail toward Yemen from Suez had their orders cancelled and were held in port, although still alerted, informed sources said. Interview Sallal The news agency also published an interview with the current Ye- "present receive and investigate any charges of discrimination and can also initiate investigation of any group which might discriminate. Would Clarify Ambiguities As amended by Robert Ross, '63, SGC's proposal would clarify sev- eral ambiguities in the conimittee's functions. It would give it power both to receive "written and sign- ed charges" of discrimination and to "initiate investigation and in- quiry of any given organization as to possible violation." In addition, the amended motion states that "no investigation shall be initiated unless the reasons for investigating that particular orga- nization are clearly stated, deemed worthy of investigation and adopt- ed by the committee." The amendments s a t i s f i e d Brown in that they emphasized the necessity for a written document before any formal inquiry could! be conducted. Water -Down? Ross introduced his amend- ments primarily be c a u s e he thought Brown's motion would have deprived the committee of its right to initiate inquiry. At one time during debate, a motion to postpone consideration for one week was defeated. How- ever, when it became clear that.the entire proposal would be defeated unless several members were per- mitted to discuss the meaning of the new proposal during the week, Council postponed all action. Earlier, SGC President Steven Stockmeyer, '63, announced that although he had not yet found a member of the Michigan Bar to advise SGC on the failure of five sororities to submit adequate mem- bership statements, he might be able to do so by tomorrow. Council also postponed a motion by Howard Abrams, '63, condemn- ing the recent suspension of "The. College Clamor" at Flint Junior College. Ticket Vigil Twenty - four m en from Reeves House, South Quad- rangle spent the night camp- ing on the doorstep of Hill Aud. Determined to get front- row seats for the Bob Newhart appearance on Oct. 27, the men have been standing in line since 3 p.m. yesterday, although the ticket office does not open un- til 4 p.m. today. College DONOVAN, CASTRO: Negotiation for Cuban Prisoners To Continue HAVANA (I)-Negotiations for the release of 1,113 captives of the 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion hit a snag last night, and hopes for their early release were dashed. The talks between negotiator James B. Donovan of New York and Cuban Prime Minister Fidel Castro were to have ended last night. But a spokesman for the rescue committee said the talks "have not end- ed," certain points have to be revised and this will take two or three further meetings. Donovan and the Cuban members of the rescue committee spent four hours with Castro at the presidential palace. A committee spokes- man had earlier expressed confi-* dence this would be the last talks with only minor details and pub- licity arrangements to be thrashed' out. Clear Indication The spokesman refused to say whether difficulties had been en- countered. But the fact that other" meetings are scheduled appeared :;t to dispel fears that the talks had fin,, n d r / i i '3 1 u utere4. There was no indication that the negotiations were affected in any way by the claim of an exile group in the United States and Puerto Rico that it had raided the north coast port of Isabella de Sagua Monday and killed 20 persons. The raid has not been confirmed by the Castro government and there has been no announcement of the exiles' claim here. Nor has there been any comment. Keeps Secrets Donovan, who believes his nego- tiations can bear fruit only with secrecy, kept complete silence while relatives of the prisoners re- mained confident a solution was at hand. Meanwhile, the United States government has agreed to under- write' the shipment of about $13 million in medicine and food to Cuba if the invasion captives are released, informed sources said yesterday. Presumably this amount. would be augmented by private subscrip- tions. raised by the families of the captured men. $62 Million Ransom Castro has reportedly asked for a total of $62 million in payment for freeing the prisoners. Whatever amount the govern- ment contributes, there seemed likely to be volatile reaction in Congress toward the payment of what some members characterized as ransom.

Despite these accomplishments of college governing boards, "they merit our sympathy as well," for they face many difficult problems, President Hatcher continued. Some Problems He posed the question of wheth- er low-cost education must be di- luted or discarded as increasing numbers of students seek college educations. He also noted the problem of academic freedom. "A trustee may be called on to defend the right of a campus speaker to express a view with which he strongly disagrees," he remarked. Finally, governing boards must learn to "walk the fine line be- tween paternalism and laissez- faire" in their student-affairs pol- icies, President Hatcher concluded.

Stevenson declared that the' United States is "quite prepared to stop testing now, as soon as we have dependable means of knowing that the Soviet Union is going to stop and stay stopped." "If the Soviet Union is statis- fied with the progress in its pres- ent testing program, a rare period of equilibruim may have been reached in this sector of the arms race." Negroes Ask For Protection FLINT ()--Two Flint Negro leaders yesterday asked Gov. John B. Swainson to take strong protec- tice action, including use of the Bill Stalls In Congress Measure Attempts To Finance, Improve Education Services By The Associated Press WASHINGTON - A last - ditch effort was launched in the House yesterday to pass bills that would expand the college student loan and university extension adult educa- tion programs. Similar measures have passed the Senate. They are now anchor- ed in the House Rules Committee. The only way they can be passed now is by unanimous House ac- tion. Rep. Cleveland M. Bailey (D- W Va), author of the bills, was un- able to get assurances from Re- publicans that no objections would be made if he called up the bill. Battles Time He refused to abandon hope, however, to win over Republican opponents. Congress is expected to adjourn tomorrow. One of the bills Bailey is trying to rescue would add $35 million to the present $90 million loan fund for student loans under. the Na- tional Defense Education Act It would also increase the maximum allotment to an individual college from $250,000 to $500,000. The other would expand the uni- versity extension program, now limited mainly to the teaching of agriculture and mechanical arts, to include general academic sub- jects. Matching Funds It would provide $9 million a year for four years for 50-50 matching graits to state universi- ties and land grant colleges for this purpose. Bailey's office claims that the bill attempts to produce an "em- barrassment of riches" for exten- See Related Story, Page 3 sion services to parallel the result of adult education prog ams in agriculture and home economics. "All matters having to do with administration, selection of teach- ing personnel, curriculum, control of educational methods used, de- termination of course content, re- quirements for participation in programs by individuals and groups, and standards of instruc- tion are explicitly reserved to di- rection of individual states in their state institutions," Bailey stressed. The states' plans of extension service coordination, however, must be approved by the United States Office of Education. Soop Explains Congressional Aid Proposal A bill currently tied up in the House Rules Committee wouM "provide for extension services what agricultural extension . cts did for farming," Extension Ser- vice Director Everett J. Soop said yesterday. The bill, sponsored by Rep. Cleveland Bailey (D-W Va), would allot $20,000 to each of the 50 states and Puerto Rico, then add $9 million to be divided among the states on a population basis. The amount of money the Uni- versity would receive would de- pend on how the state Legislature would allocate the matching funds, Soop said. Chief effect of the added Ex- tension Service budget would prob- ably be on the less populated areas, he continued. At present, many of the state colleges are unable to provide as comprehensive exten- sion program for rural areas, due to financial limitations. Soop also noted that the Na- tional University Extension As- sociation, of which the University is a member, has been advocating such legislation since 1941.
