The first section, which appeared yesterday, featured the Office of Student Affairs, the Office of Academic Affairs, finances, University affairs and Student Gov- ernment Council. It left off with an account of the violation-riddled SGC elections last spring.) By GERALD STORCH and RONALD WILTON Student Government Council began its spring term under a cloud of suspicion and uncertainty. Fresh from a campaign which saw three candidates disqualified for violating election rules, SGC was starting consideration of some of the most crucial and complex problems it would ever have to face. The major issue the new Council found itself dealing with was the compliance of Sigma Nu fraternity with the University's regu-: lations on non - discrimination membership selection. On March 7 SGC's Committee on Member- ship on Student Organizations submitted a recommendation ask- ing for withdrawal of recognition from the fraternity by the end of the semester if it did not comply with the regulation. The Sigma Nu national consti- tution under membership qualifi- cation states that "members must - be Men, free born and of free an- : : f? cestry and without Negro blood." At the time the committee made its recommendation, the local chapter voted to apply to the na- tional for a waiver from the bias clause. On March 29, however, the national put the local in receiver- ship, withholding all authority from the local to handle its own affairs. Scholastic troubles, local finances, poor morale as well as the trouble over the membership. regulation were cited as reasons STEVEN STOCKMEYER for the action. ... SGC problems Receivership The receivership listed until April 17 when the local was grant- < ed a waiver by the national. On May 3 the committee on member- ship withdrew its recommendation that Sigma Nu be expelled from campus. The November Council elections featured as an added attraction a referendum to decide whether the University should retain affiliation with the United States National Student Association. The campaign was highlighted by the formation of two rival or- ganizations, Better off Out and Friends of USNSA. 'The competing sOc candidates joined the two organizations and the issue was in- Itensely debated all over campus., In the referendum on :.Nov. 14 the student body decided to retain affiliation with USNSA by a vote of 3,667 to 3,483. Union Changes ROBERT FINKE 6) This year was a busy one for Union modernization many student organizations on the campus, with major changes coming in the Michigan Union and fraternity rush, and a flurry of activity over "student issues." At its January meeting, the Union's Board of Directors instituted a basic re-emphasis of the Union's orientation-away from a "private men's club," and towards an "all-campus" facility. As concrete implementations of this philosophical change, the Union outlined plans for a ,conference center, improved hotel and dining facilities, and a better public image. New Mug The first step in this series was completed this September with the remodeling of the MUG. On that same day in January, the Fraternity Presidents' As- sembly, in an attempt to bolster small houses, re-arranged several rush- procedures. It organized the fraternity system into six geographical districts, with a rushee wequired to visit at least one house in each area and a minimum of 10 houses. This setup made its debut last fall. Judic Procedures Another organizational shake-up came later in the spring, when Joint Judiciary Council revised several of its operating procedures to adhere more closely to principles of "due process." Under the new measures, student defendants were allowed to call in witnesses on their behalf, obtain counsel and open the judicial proceedings to the public. Meanwhile, students kept up their interests in political activity by working through a variety of established and ad-hoc organizations. In February about 100 University students traveled to Washing- ton to demonstrate for peace along with more than 7000 students from all over the country. Peace Vigil In March a group of students held a peace vigil by the flagpole to mark the opening of the Geneva disarmament talks. Also in March the whole controversy over the House Committee on Un-American Activities returned to campus with the showing by the Democratic-Socialist club of the film "Operation Correction." This was produced by the American Civil Liberties Union as a counter to the HUAC film "Operation Abolition" which had been shown on campus the year before. The HUAC issue cropped up again in April when a sub-committee of HUAC went to Los Angeles to probe "subversive activities" in the area. On April 23 about 350 students gathered on the Diag to protest the hearings and listen to speakers urge the abolition of the com- mittee. Protest Cuba Policy The Diag also saw another demonstration on Oct. 24 when more than 300 students, assembled to protest President John F. Kennedy's blockade of Cuba. They were met by a larger group of students in favor of the blockade. After assembling on the Diag the pro- blockade students marched to the city-county building downtown for another demonstration. Just recently a small group of University students twice traveled to the campus of Michigan State University-Oakland to protest the firing of MSU history Prof. Samuel Shapiro. The students claimed that he was fired for his leftists views on Cuba and that the action represented a violation of academic freedom.k 7) Problems with controversial speakers aroused considerable o+ Ainv'n at this and nther state universities. Pollock UrgesSupport For Con-Con Document By WILLIAM BENOIT Prof. James Pollock of the political science department urged support of Michigan's new Constitution last night at a meeting spon- sored by the Young Republicans Club. "If you're interested in giving Michigan a good*constitution, sup- port this document because it's likely to be the last chance you'll get for many years to come," Pollock, a delegate to last year's consti- tutional convention, said Pollock named the provision for the recon- I ~' struction of the executive branch Kennedy, Macmillan Meet O n Possible Congo Crisis Shapiro Cites Rationale Commenting on his request Tuesday for the American Associa- tion of University Professors to intervene in his case, Michigan State University-Oakland Prof. Samuel Shapiro said, "I asked the local AAUP chapter to investigate the circumstances surrounding the university's decision not to renew my appointment." There are charges being made presently that Prof. Shapiro was not reappointed due to his critical views of United States foreign policy and his opinions on Cuba. However, until Tuesday Prof. Shapiro himself had not taken any action protesting MSU-O's decision. "I had been quite surprised to learn that my contract was not to be renewed and it took me quite a while to decide if I should con- test it," he noted. Submits Evidence He has submitted statements and documents to the local AAUP which include "some things which had been said to me by people who made the decision, newspaper clippings and other things." Although the proper AAUP channel for cases of violation of academic freedom is through hte national organization, Prof. Sha- piro has decided to attempt a lo- cal investigation first. This may imply that he does not view the case as a violation or that more investigation is neces- sary before he is willing to sub- mit it to the national as a case of academic freedom violation. Quotes Definition Prof. Shapiro remarked that the letter submitted to MSU Pres- ident John A. Hannah by MSU-O Chancellor Durward B. Varner, which explained MSU-O did not reappoint Prof. Shapiro for aca- demic reasons, quoted the AAUP statement of definition on aca- demic freedom. Prof. Shapiro noted that this implied that he may have trans- gressed these rules the AAUPhas set up for academic freedom, re- sponsibility, and violations of these. Bissell To Talk At Graduation Dr. Claude Thomas Bissell, pres- ident of the University of Toronto, will speak at midyear graduation ceremonies at the University on Jan. 26. Erich A. Walter, University sec- retary, said 1,644 persons are ex- pected to be eligible to graduate, including 190 with the doctorate and 578 with the masters degree. Following the 2 p.m. ceremonies at Hill Aud. a reception will be held in the Women's League Ballroom. University President Harlan Hatcher will preside over the ceremonies. The degrees will be actually awarded after the close of the final examination period on Feb. 2. of state government, changing four administrative offices from elec- tive to appointive as the most out- standing feature of the new Con- stitution. Cites Changes Other important changes deal with methods of apportionment, the power of the Senate to "advise and consent" to the governor's ap- pointments and an expanded pro- gram of civil rights to be enforced by a Civil Rights Commission, Pol- lock said. Under the new Constitution, the commission will investigate cases of discrimination and the Legis- lature shall appropriate funds for its operation.I The proposed Constitution pro- vides for improved inter-govern- mental relations between state and local units. This is an attempt to better equip both levels to deal with not only present and press- ing concerns but also problems which will probably come up in the future, Pollock said. Aid to Local Government Pollock noted that state and lo- cal governments were "hamstrung" under the old constitution and ex- pressed hope that the new consti- tution would strengthen local gov- ernment and "check the drift of power to federal government." The educational plank in the new Constitution remains un- changed regarding independence for the University and Michigan State University but gives increas- ed autonomy to smaller colleges throughout the state, Pollock said. Pollock's speech was devoted to answering the major criticisms of the Democrats opposing the new document. Both the GOP and the Democrats are preparing to battle on the proposed constitution. A decision will be made at next April's election. Arms Confab Earns Praise Of Stevenson United Nations Ambassador Ad- lai E. Stevenson yesterday sent a telegram to the International Arms Control Symposium congrat- ulating the group on its efforts and research in the field of arms control. The telegram read, "as most of the world realizes, a prodigal arms race is dangerous and deadly folly. Here in the United States we want to save not destroy our fellow man. "We want to devote the re- sources now swallowed up by this insatiable monster to the unfinish- ed tasks of our own society. And we want to devote these resources to giving every soul on earth a chance for a better life. "Programs such as yours are at once a practical demonstration of our determination to achieve a peaceful world and a valuable means of approaching that goal." At last night's session it was announced that President John F. Kennedy will also send a message to the group today. ARMS CONTROL CONFERENCE: Ionlding Notes Social Issues By ELLEN SILVERMAN The problem which faces mankind in transition is the intellectual task of understanding social systems and cultivating social perception, Prof. Kenneth Boulding of the economics department, co-director of the Center for Conflict Resolution, said last night. Prof. Boulding told an International Arms Control Symposium conference that the university is the only agency in society which - is committed more to the future Fear Reds Cites Need For Facts By DANIEL SHAFER There is a need for more gen- eral knowledge and information about disarmament and arms con- trol, Joseph O. Hanson, Jr. of the United States Information Agency said yesterday. Hanson indicated that the USIA has been striving, through films, books, pamphlets and mass media, to achieve more universal ander- standing of the problems and feas- ibility of international arms con- trol plans. "But there are two basic ob- stacles to conveying these prob- lems to the minds of the people," he said. First, the problem is very coin- plex. "The people have a tenden- cy to become overwhelmed by technical terminology and to take the attitude that international arms control is none of their busi- ness," Hanson noted. Second, it is a very frustrating field. "A preponderance of talk has led to virtually not action," Hanson noted. "A major obstacle to overcome in trying to communicate the problems and ideas of internation- al arms control to the people is the preponderance of stereotyped ideas which many people hold rel- ative to this issue," Hanson con- tinued. The most important of these stereotypes is the "Utopia stereo- type," he said. "The concent that disarmament can never happen because it has not yet happened is very firmly entrenched in the minds of many people," Hanson stated. This popular misconception has given birth to several sub-myths. The sub-myth that internation- al disarmament would cause eco- nomic depression and chaos is "on the road to extinction," Hanson claimed. He cited the United Na- tions report of last year which painted a favorable outlook of the economic effects of an interna- tional arms control plan. than to the past, despite the his- tory department, more to man- kind rather than to the individual, despite the fact that this is a public institution and more to truth than to a version of it, despite the faculty. Prof. Boulding compared the arms race to the Red Queen from Alice in Wonderland; you run as fast as you can to stay in the same place. Size Significant The relative size of armed forces is what is significant. The armsj race is like inflation; you spend more absolutely but the relative size of the forces remain the same. Rather than building up arms, we should turn to studying social systems. This is where the univer- sity's business is, Prof. Boulding continued. A university should deal not with the tasks of society but with questioning whether tasks are worth doing. It would operate best independent, but not isolated from the operating agencies of the country. Agencies Don't Think Operating agencies don't think, Prof. Boulding maintained. But it is the university's business to think. If however, the university were isolated its ideas wouldn't be put toe use. "One would like to see, there- fore, attached with every operating agency, governmental agency or industrial plant some university or university department.". Money spent for an arms build- up buys insecurity, fear and an absolute dimunition of power of the greater states. We see this in the fact that the United States can't push Cuma around now nor can the Russians push the Albanians around, he added. $500 Billion Failure "When we spend the $500 billion we have spent in the last 10 years on arms, and then the armed forces turn around and tell you to dig your own hole, it looks to me like a failure. The major. disallocation of in- tellectual resources is the prob- lem today. There is too much re- search done in agriculture and weapons development but not enough in social systems, he said. KENNETH BOULDING ... social action Taylor Rapst U.S. Policy By BARBARA PASH "Nothing is to be gained fromt the American government's con- tinued policy of nuclear deter- rents," Harold Taylor, chairman1 of the National Research Council on Peace Strategy, said yesterday.1 ISpeaking before the Interna- tional Arms Control Symposiumt on the subject of "Arms Control and Peace," he noted that the governmental trend to assume1 that only those in federal agencies are capable of dealing with dis- ' armament conceptions needs to be1 corrected. Government officials must not become isolated from the Ameri- can public and thereby assume that their conclusions are cate- gorically correct, Taylor contin- ued. Citizens' Organizations "The United States government1 should take a friendly attitude to student, faculty and citizens' peace organizations, and not mere- ly view them tolerantly," he noted. When it becomes un-American to speak against war and for peace something should be done in Con- gress to prevent our representa- tives from harrassing the people who elected them, Taylor ex- plained. "We need new kinds of answers to problems which we haven't solved, rather than finding tech- nological answers to problems we have already solved. Research is required to find new solutions. When people think, talk and act, they deflect the course of history," he declared. Bloc Formation We have shown a constant con- cern for forming a military bloc, rather than thinking in terms of world peace, Taylor said. By adopting the dialectics of two op- posing forces, we have sustained the Soviet Union's position and thrown suspicion on our military motives, he added. "We want a new international order through peace-keeping ma- chines, but the world is dubious about our aims. And yet we have afforded little indication that we saw the world in more sophisticat- ;ed terms," he explained. Taylor declared that as a pow- .erful leader, America must act to create a new democratic order in "nthe world. Humanity will always judge a nation by its motives and 'the outcome of its actions rather than by the number of missiles it Lpossesses, he said. i Eastern Revolutions "In the Western world we have "had our revolutions; the Eastern nations are having theirs now. It will be a long time before we be- come accustomed to their aims May Present New Threat U.S. Sends Mission To Inspect, Evaluate UN Forces in Area By The Associated Press NASSAU - President John F. Kennedy and British Prime Min- ister Harold Macmillan began their talks yesterday with an un- expected focus of concern over a possible new Soviet threat in the Congo. Even before the American and British leaders had met for an hour, United States offilcal sources disclosed Kennedy had decided to send a top United States military mission to the Congo. The mission's task is to make a-i urgent survey of the needs of the United Nations forces in the Congo, and their ability to deal with what Washington fears may be increased conflict over Congo unification. More Supplies The United States has agreed to supply additional equipment for the UN force, a UN spokesman said yesterday. United States officials were be- lieved to feel the Russians may move into the Congo, particular- ly if the persisting secession in Katanga province brings about a collapse of the moderate central government at Leopoldville. The Soviet Union held a strong hand in the Congo for a time when the late Patrice Lumumba ruled as premier. Now remnant leftist fol- lowers of Lumumba threaten the Leopoldville government on the Katanga and other issues. Skybolt Dispute Kennedy and Macmillan flew here to seek a'n end of the Sky- bolt Missile dispute that divides them, and to strengthen the Anglo-American alliance in the cold war. The Congo, as a poten- tial cold war trouble spot, is an area in which Britain also is deep- ly concerned. The informants said the decision reached at the White House yes- terday came amid increasing United States concern over some new bid by Russia to establish a power position in the central Af- rican nation. These informants would not exclude the possibility that in an extreme crisis the United States would consider put- ting some of its forces into the Congo. In a coordinated move at UN headquarters, United States am- bassador Adlai E. Stevenson con- veyed the American decision to UN Secretary-General U Thant. This disclosure evoked surprise among UN delegates there. Strained Friendships The Anglo-American allianeL has not been without strains, and the Congo is one of them. The United States has given strong support to UN efforts to get Katanga President Moise Tshombe to end his secession from the central Congolese government, to begin sharing Katanga's wealth with the Leopoldville regime, and to give up his independent military force. The British government, while supporting these aims, has cau- tioned repeatedly against actions it considers severe, and only re- luctantly agreed to join in an em- bargo on Katanga's mineral ex- prsshould such a move be in- voked to compel Tshombe to end his secession.
