NSA initiative Students Vote Out of NSA By GAIL EVANS The Vanderbilt University Stu- dent Senate voted 14-12 Wednes- day to withdraw from the United States National Student Associa- tion,Vanderbilt Student Govern- ment President Thomas Aber- nathy said yesterday. As president, Abernathy has the power to veto the senate's decision before next Wednesday's meeting. However, he said that "although I personally would like to veto the action," the 12 senate mem- bers who voted in favor of NSA were not a majority and will not have time to participate on NSA projects this year. Therefore, he has decided not to veto the move. Not Hostile The student Secretary of Stu- dent Affairs, William Brooks, said that Vanderbilt's withdrawal was "not a hostile move against NSA." He said that the senate, the legis- lative branch of the student gov- ernment, questioned "what tan- gible benefits the students received from NSA." Brooks said that since Vander- bilt joined NSA about four years ago, the issue of continued par- ticipation has come up annually He said that two questions have been raised. F i r s t, whether Vanderbilt's voice as a Southern university was being heard at the NSA Congress, was questioned. Concern The second question was stu- dent concern that NSA voiced opinions on topics which are not student affairs. Also, he said the student body is not in complete agreement whether they want to be part of an organization which endorses the student sit-in move- ment. Abernathy said that he was dis- appointed in the senate's decision since students did not consider the potential of NSA, but rather the fact that the individual has not benefitted from the organization. Turnabout Brooks pointed out that all the members of the senate who had attended the NSA Congress voted in favor of the association. He also said that two years ago a 'campus-wide referendum had been held and the students voted to withdraw from NSA; however, the student senate ignored the referendum. Campus movements have begun to join the Southern University Student Government Association, but Brooks said that he doubted that Vanderbilt would join since CTTWCo A c little t. v~o. ff h n can be circulated in the dormitor- ies and that a check would be made to see if it must also be cleared with the Board of Gov- ernors." Stopped in Stockwell One petition was confiscated in Stockwell by the judiciary chair- man, and Miss Norton's order stop- ped them in other dormitories. "Most of the women who were approached to sign the petition did not know what they were sign- ing. The woman who circulated the petition in Stockwell misrepre- sented its purpose and the facts," Miss Norton said. There is nothing in the Assem- bly Constitution which specifical- ly forbids petitioning, but there is a Board of Governor's regulation which forbids surveys and ques- tionnaires from being circulated without permission of Assembly. No Soliciting "Another regulation stops any solicitation of money, clothing, or books without the permission of Assembly. Either of these regula- tions may possibly apply to the NSA petition circulation. This rule may also apply to this case." The petition was being circulat- ed under the auspices of YR's. Miss Norton said that she spoke with YR President Mark Hauser, '64, and that he said that the group was unaware of the ruling. Hauser Talks Hauser said that t1he YR's were unaware that there was any reg- ulation making the circulation 'of petitions in the dorms illegal and that "two hours were spent check- ing for any regulation that might forbid it." "We asked a few girls to circu- late the petitions, and we did not give them any instructions where or how to circulate it." Miss Norton said that she "was called at approximately 9:30 p.m. Thursday by Michigan Union Pres- ident Robert Finke and asked if the circulation of the petitions in dormitories was legal. However, no one consulted me before the petition was confiscated to check if such petitioning was permitted," Miss Norton explained. The petition in Stockwell was not presented clearly, and the woman circulating it refused to explain it adequately. A letter turned into Miss Norton by a resident of Stockwell explain- ed the improper information given by the woman circulating the ini- tiative petition. The letter said that when "I re- See NORTON, Page 2 Editors Hit Dismissal By Newton' By-MICHAEL OLINICK Editor special To The Daily DETROIT-Fifty-seven editors yesterday condemned the actions of University of Colorado Presi- dent Quigg Newton in firing Colo- rado Daily Editor Gary Althen. The editors, gathered here for the 38th annual conference of the Associated Collegiate Press, signed a petition claiming that Newton "violated fundamental principles of academic freedom and of freedom and autonomy of the press." They called upon Newton to re- affirm these principles and re- consider his dismissal of Althen. Limited Circulation The petition had limited cir- culation during two hours of the conference's second day. The de- cision to protest Newton's action came early Friday morning after some of the editors met with cur- rent Colorado Daily staff mem- bers who gave them more details of the Althen incident. They hope to collect more signatures today. Pultizer Prize winner Harrison E. Salisbury, director of national correspondence for the New Yorx Times, addressed the conference on "A New Look at the Soviet Challenge." He stressed the need for accur- ate information about the Soviet Union so that the United States could correct its past "inabilities to correctly assess the capabilities of the Soviets.", Many Schools Meeting with the 840 student delegates to the ACP conference are 102 members of the National Council of College Publications Advisers. All told, 231 colleges and 190 student newspapers are rep- resented. Outlining the aim of the student press "both to develop and serve its community and to cultivate freedom of expression, stimulation of thought and response in the community," the editors assert that the press must be inde- pen ,nt of external interference or censorship to fulfill these goals. To Meet Today Conference delegates will meet at 8 a.m. today to consider a resolution on freedom and re- sponsibility of the student press. This resolution is based on the National Student Association's basic policy declaration on the campus press. submit SGC, Information Ten students filed petitions yes- terday to become candidates for the Student Government Council election Nov. 14. Three other prospective candi- dates did not turn in petitions and election materials by the noon deadline. Two were SGC President Steven Stockmeyer, '63, and Coun- cil Treasurer Thomas Brown, '63 BAd. Charles Barnell, '63, also did not submit his petition at noon be- cause it is reported he thought that the deadlinerwas midnight. Exceptions Stockmeyer and Brown, as in- cumbants, did not have to obtain the 250 name-petition. However, SOC executive vice- president Richard G'sell, '63BAd, who is chairman of the Creden- tials and Rules Committee, says that a meeting of the committee will be called tomorrow to con- sider the meaning of petition. The other incumbant, running for re-election, Robert Ross, '63, submitted all election materials by the deadline. Considers Candidacy The Credentials Committee will also have to consider Barnell's candidacy, Michael Levine, '63, elections director, said. Before tak- ing out petitions candidates had to sign an affidavit asserting that they were "aware of all the peti- tion and election rules." Levin also said that Stockmeyer called him at about 1 a.m. Fi iday morning and informed nim that he would not submit his platform and other election material by the noon deadline because thd election rules said only that peti- tions were due at that time. Levin said that he told Stock- meyer that it would be all right for him to do so on the techni- cality of the interpretation of pe - tition. The other candidates are Russell Epker, '64 BAd; Donald Filip, '64E; Gary Gilbar, '65A&D; Bruce Hop- kins, '64; Michael Kass, '65; David A.

Phenomenon Considering developments of the past decade, "the present state of the Michigan economy is quite remarkable . . . (It) has shown a phenomenal vitality, astrength and a vigor which promises much for the future," Prof. Haber added. Prof. Haber went on to outline a vigorous program of economic development for Michigan, as urged by his committee. Such a program, he said, should include the establishment of a State De- partment of Commerce which would "assist business in general and small business in,.particular." The present Department of Economic Development and ac- tivities like Michigan Tourist Council should be incorporated in the new department, Prof. Haber added. Bonding Authority Also urged by the committee was the establishment of a Michigan Development Corporation with bonding authority to assist in the financing of new and expanding firms. "We know (this) was de- feated in a state-wide referendum. It should be tried again," Prof. Haber said. Prof. Haber further recommend- ed that a non-partisan Council of Economic Advisors be set up "to identify emerging economic prob- lems and to recommend appro- priate action." Michigan should take the lead- ership in working toward the de- velopment of a Great Lakes De- velopment Agency, as "our long- run economic future will be sub- stantially influenced by the use we make of the water resources and the economic potential of the lakes," Prof. Haber concluded.

Prof. Haber, who is currently serving as chairman of Governor John B. Swainson's Committee on Michigan Economy, presented the preliminary report of that committee before a Detroit meeting.
