LXXIH, No. 81 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN SATURDAY, JANUARY 5, 1963 SEVEN CENTS SIX PAGES Tshombe Offers Peace or War LEOPOLDVILLE (AP) - Katanga President Moise Tshombe-with his forces reported in disorderly retreat-said yesterday he is ready to negotiate with the United Na- tions or to fight its armies to the end. He prepared to make a stand at his war capital of Kolwezi, 150 miles to the west and north of Elisabethville, the provincial cap- ital now in UN hands. UN forces at Jadotville stood 100 miles from Kolwezi and are under strict orders not to advance as they did-in a confusion of com- mand communications-to capture Jadotville Thursday. Shows Confidence Showing outward confidence, Tshombe said in an interview in Kolwezi that he is still willing to negotiate a settlement of his se- cession from the Congo Central Government of Premier Cyrille Adoula. But he added "Now I understand that the UN thinks it too late to negotiate and their troops are still advancing. We cannot stop fight- ing in that case. We shall resist. We shall fight to the end. If Kol- wezi falls, then we fight in the bush." Union Miniere, the big Belgian- based mineral firm whose riches have financed Tshombe's seces- sion from the Congo, reported that all its operations in Katanga had halted. Chaotic Situation This apparently was due to sabotage to installations and to the chaos in Katanga resulting from the conflict. Earlier, in Leopoldville, a UN spokesman said UN troops had taken an airfield five miles out- side Jadotville. And the South Af- rican Press Association had quoted radio reports as saying UN troops advancing from Jadotville toward Kolwezi clashed with Katangans at Mulongwishi, 20 miles to the northwest. That would be about one-fourth of the way to Kolwezi. Belgium urged Tshombe to end his secession, and reiterated sup- port for UN Secretary-General U Thant's plan to reunify the Congo. Vengeful Katangans The British and Belgians feared vengeful Katangans would sabo- tage the mining properties there if the UN advanced. A UN statement expressed re- gret over "a serious breakdown in effective communications and co- ordination between UN headquar- ters and the Leopoldville office in regard to the Jadotville operation."

'U' Gets Grant To Research Illness Control The University has received a March of Dimes grant of $150,631 from the National Foundation to cover the third year of a five-year research project to discover new ways to combat diseases, it was announced yesterday. The project under the direction of Prof. Thomas Francis of the department of epidemiology who worked on the evaluation of the Salk polio vaccine, is but one phase of a University program on disease control and eradication that has been supported for more than 20 years by foundation grants. Several drug plants from Trini- dad - love vine, wild coffee, shadow benee, black sage, chan- delair and man-better-man -- were imported to the University laboratories at the suggestion of a medical student from that islend, have shown a degree of promise as anti-virus agents in early test- ing. Other possibilities are anti-virus extracts made from selected mush- rooms, from a birch-tree fungus and from other natural products and from other natural products. Professors Kenneth Cochran, W. Wilbur Ackermann and Gor- don C. Brown of the School of Public Health are also working on various aspects of the studies sup- ported by the National Foundation grant.

UN troops were ordered to restrain from further action, MICHIGAN ASSEMBLY: USNSA Region Takes Action To Find Funds By RICHARD KELLER SIMON The Regional Executive Committee of the Michigan Region of the United States National Student Association opened the three-day regional assembly at the University last night by taking action to re- cover its treasury. The treasury is currently in the possession of Hugh Carr, who resigned as chairman of the region early last month, and has not yet returned or accounted for the money. Student Government Council member Robert Ross, '63, who replaced Carr as chairman, and SGC member Howard Abrams, '63, said that they have continually at- " tempted to get Carr to act, but 7u~1 .' 'hwithout success., Regulates Speakers At OSU By MARJORIE BRAHMS The Board of Trustees of Ohio State University unanimously passed an amendment to the uni- versity's guest speaker rule at its meeting Dec. 13 which clarifies the authoritysof the president in reviewing requests to invite speak- ers to campus. The amendment states that the president shall have the authority to review requests and decisions related to invitations to guest speakers "and to take such action as, in his judgment, he deems necessary or advisable in the best and overall interest of the uni- versity." The amendment was passed two days after the Faculty Council, which represents the faculty, had "recommitted" the proposal to the Faculty Advisory Committee for further study. Fawcett Action In recent action, OSU President Novice G. Fawcett, acting under terms of the speaker rule, de- clined to allow Frank Wilkinson, executive director of the National Committee to Abolish the House Un-American Activities Commit- tee, to speak on the OSU campus. Fawcett said that after con- sultations, he concluded that Wil- kinson's appearance would not be in the best interest of the univer- sity. Fawcett issued a statement to the Board following its Decemher action which said that he views the amendment as a clarification of the rule and that another meet- ing of the Faculty Advisory Com- mittee and the Board will not be called for several months. He noted also that the Board s decision was not in conflict witn the Faculty Council's decision to return the proposal to the com- mittee. "The existing speakers rule has worked satisfactorily for several years with only an occasional con- troversial incident," the presi- dent's statement said. "There has been no instance of what some call thought control. The issue has centered on the person and not on the idea to be explored in depth." Rational for Policy Providing a rationale for the speaker policy, the president ex- plains that "I repeat again my strong belief in the right of our faculty and students to examine and to explore honestly and ob- jectively all such controversial matters as are in keeping with the high standards of excellence this university has achieved." He adds that he shall defend the right "in every case that is mark- ed by the moral and intellectual integrity characteristic of scholars and students engaged in free and' responsible inquiry." The statement notes that while freedom is "the keystone of a great university," "coitroversy for controversy's sake does not con-, tribute to progress and does not strengthen the image of this uni-; versity as it strives to discharge its responsibility to society." In its action previous to the adoption of the amendment by the Board, the Faculty Council; voted 31-23 to return the speak-, ers rule recommendation to com- mittee. Prof. Ralph Matthews, not a1 member of the Faculty Council,7 discussed the constitutional as-y pects of the proposal. "I believe the rule would, if enacted, be subject with almost certainty to constitutional invalidity." STUDENT CONDUCT: i Women's Dormitories Judge New Senior Key Permission t 10 Vuestlon Liq uor Line Ann Arbor voters will decide April 1 whether the city's long- standing prohibition against the sale of alcoholic beverages east of Division St. will remain a part of the City Charter. Petitions with 2,112 signatures were filed with the city clerk's of- fice less than six hours before the 5 p.m. Jan. 1 deadline. The mini- mum requirement for signatures was 1,505. William Lolas, a public relations man from Jackson, will lead the April campaign for abolition of the "dry line." Lolas successfully helped a city group defeat a pro- hibition on by-the-glass liquor sales in the western part of Ann Arbor in 1960. He expects that some 30 east- side businessmen will soon join a licensee's group that will be in- corporated to inform the public on the issue. Officers will be elected and announced along with a state- ment of the group's principles. The "dry line" provision of the City Charter has been in effect for 59 years. Lolas has been working since the summer on the "dry line" is- sue. At first it was not clear that enough merchants could be drawn together to strongly advocate abo- lition of the liquor regulation, but in late December a working or- ganization was formed. The regional executive commit- tee decided to make efforts to con- tact Carr once more before con- sidering taking legal action against him. Ross, calling the situation a "touchy problem," explained that Carr has personal problems which may partially explain his actions. Desire Money's Return He also said that although Carr- should account for all the money he has spent, and account for all h i other actions, the region should be satisfied if it merely recovers the money, believed to be about $200. This morning the assembly will hear a kenyote address on "Uni- versity Autonomy" by Vice-Presi- dent for Academic Affairs Roger W. Heyns at 8:45 in Rm. 3RS of the Union. Five Workshops Five workshops on the afternoon agenda are: Speaker Policy; Fi- nancing Education; Who Controls Policy?; Academic Policy-Making and Student Government; USNSA, an Evaluation of Form and Sub- stance; and the Tenth Interna- tional Student Conference. Also on the agenda for today and tomorrow are election of new re- gional officers and consideration of constitutional amendments. Ross has announced that he will not run for the chairmanship. USNSA National President W. Dennis Shaul will address the dele- gates tonight at a special banquet in the Union. Adopt Policies of Council O0n WSU Guest Speakers By MARTHA MAC NEAL and MICHAEL ZWEIG A need for clarification of what is meant by the elimination of hours for senior women with re- spect to conduct is being felt in some women's housing units as evaluation of the new senior key permission 'policy proceeds in ju- diciary bodies of the housing units. According to Mrs. Elizabeth Davenport, assistant to the vice- president for student affairs, the University does have an official SDBS Plans To Stimulate Local Action By ELIZABETH ROEDIGER The need to involve people in insurgent political activity about issues affecting their lives requires a definite strategy, the National Council of Students for a Demo- cratic Society decided in its semi- annual Council meeting. Meeting here from Dec. 29-31, the Council discussed a broad out- line of what must be done in this country making a general com- mitment to organize at the local level. Voice Political Party, the local SDS chapter, will attempt to im- plement many of the Council's projects on tis campus, Voice rep- resentative Joseph Chabot, '65, said. Chabot Views Program Chabot further commented that the Council's definative program is something long needed in the stu- dent movement. The projects and issues consid- ered centered around peace re- search, university reform and civil rights. The purposes of the peace re- search project deal first with the reform in the content of current education so that it might focus on crucial problems of war and peace, SDS national president Thomas Hayden, Grad, explained. Project's Goals The project aims secondly to involve faculty and students in study, research and publication in the peace area; thirdly, to create courses and seminars on peace and disarmament whenever possible, Hayden continued. The project further plans to in- volve widespread groups in com- munity, political and educational actions on behalf of peace, Hayden explained. He stated that the project has already received several grants, one to be used in writing a document for strategy in the peace move- ment. Student Action In university reform the Nation- al Council is attempting to engage students in action that would make universities more democratic institutions and education more humanistic and relevant to imme- diate social problems: the pro- gram hopes to increase the stu- dent's concept of the whole role of education in society, Hayden noted. On the issue of civil rights SDS will approach foundations for grants to arrange for political or- ganization and discussion on Southern campuses. Speaking to the SDS National Council, Irving Bluestone, admin- istrative assistant to United Auto Workers president Walter Reuther, noted that unions and the student movement have not worked to-; gether in the past, but that hope- fully a closer coordination in areas of common interest will occur soon. China Denies War Threats TOKYO bP)-Communist China: policy whereby "we cannot con- done such behavior as a woman staying in a man's apartment overnight." "University Regulations Con- cerning Student Conduct," an of- ficial publication, states that a woman may receive overnight per- mission for other than University housing if her hostess telephones the woman's housing director and is over 25 or married. No Exact Regulation No specific, written ruling, how- ever, applies this policy to senior key permissions, which require only that a woman sign out of her residence hall and return before her house opens at 7 a.m. the fol- lowing day. According to Director of Stu- dent Activities and Organizations John Bingley it is impossible to predict what action student ju- diciaries might take if a case were1 brought to it concerning a woman who had used her key permission- to spend the night at a man'sr apartment. No such case has yet come up, Bingley noted. While there is no specific rule prohibiting a woman from using key permission for that purpose, Mrs. Davenport felt that action could legitimately be taken in theT case if it were felt that the womant had acted in a manner "unbecom-c ing a student and contrary to thet mores of the society."i Responsibility to Group Mrs. Davenport pointed out thatE a woman "who lives in a group situation has a responsibility to that group which includes ab- staining from behavior which would lower the reputation of the group with which she is asso-f ciated."k "H o w e v e r, we expect high standards of conduct from all wo- men, no matter what their hous- ing is," she noted. "The principle of key permis- sion lies in the belief that senior womenfare responsible individuals and do not need precise instruc- tions telling them when to be in," Mrs. Davenport explained. "But that is not a license to any kind of behavior. We expect the women to use their discretion and come in at a reasonable hour and be- have in a fashion which will not embarrass themselves, the Uni- versity or the residence hall," she continued. Student Judiciaries While it is "difficult" to define a reasonable hour and unem- barassing behavior, the problem will be dealt with by the student judiciaries when they try an al- leged violation of the key permis- sion involving these principles, Mrs. Davenport said. There is no precedent to date, she added. "The evaluation of student con- duct in relation to key permission should be the concern of women on the campus, and I hope that they will discuss the matter furth- er," Mrs. Davenport concluded.

ELIZABETH DAVENPORT ... expresses views} INew Bylaw Encourages Free Inquiry Follows 'U', MSU In Approving Plan For State Schools By GAIL EVANS Wayne State University became the third state-supported univer- sity to adopt the new outside speaker policy at the December Board of Governor's meeting. The policy which encourages a spirit of free inquiry with a mini- mum of restraint is patterned aft- er the University's speaker bylaw. Michigan State University also ap- proved the policy, as recommended by the Michigan Co-ordinating Council for Public Higher Educa- tion, on Dec 14 The policy, which the Co-ordin- ating Council hopes will become state-wide, permits recognized student organization to invite speakers without any prior cen- sorship of their topics Audience Action However, the policy states that the speaker must not urge the audience to take action which is prohibited by the rules of the Uni- versity or which is illegal under federal or Michigan law Advocating the modification of the federal or state governments by violence or sabotage is specifi- cally prohibited The student organization is re- sponsible for informing the speak- er of the university's regulation Uniform Program WSU Governor Benjamin D. Burdick said that Wayne was "glad to have the uniform policy, one which the university can live under and gives the student re- sponsibility." He pointed out the problem of a university located in a large city where in addition to the univer- sity community the public attends and participates in WSU's func- tions. WSU President Clarence Hilber- ry clarified the problem of the ap- plication of the speaker policy to the Detroit community by amend- ing the policy at the Co-ordinating Council meeting so that the policy covers only "campus meetings" and not "public meetings." Principle of Policy Burdick said that the implemen- tation of the general policy state- ment was "only a matter of form and that any manner of imple- Judge Upholds Atlanta's Wall Of Separation ATLANTA {R) - A municipal court judge upheld yesterday the placement of city-erected barriers between Negro and white resi- dential areas in southwest Atlanta.

Noble, author of two books on Christianity and Communism, de- scribed his experiences as a pris- oner in East Germany and Soviet Russia from 1945 to 1954. He described Soviet leaders as "crim- inals." Noble explained that fie met Nikita Khrushchev's first wife, a Madame Gorskaja, in 1955, after he had been released from prison through the intervention of Pres- ident Dwight Eisenhower. He said Mme.
