Continuing Challenge
Students Mull Cold-War Education;
'' Delegates Help Fraze Policy
BY MICHAEL OLINICK a
Editor
The United States National Student Association last month
evolved firm policy statements on the cold war, due process in the
university and international student affairs-and it took its first
organized steps to translate expressions of opinion into constructive
action.
Meeting and debating under the theme of "Student Community:
The Continuing Challenge," delegates to USNSA's 15th annual Na-
tional Student Congress at the Ohio State University took formal ac-

SEAC Hits
Board Act,
Forms Unit
By HARRY PERLSTADT
Co-Magazine Editor
The Sixth Student Editorial Af-
fairs Conference protested the ac-
tions of the Board in Control of
Student Publications on the Daily
appointments and also formed the
United States Student Press Asso-
ciation, and a collegiate press
service.
The SEAC, which met at the
Ohio State University prior to the
National Student Congress in Au-
gust, included the Daily incident
in an omnibus motion on specific
violations of freedom of the stu-
dent press. The other papers de-
fended were the Daily Pennsyl-
vanian, The University of New
Mexico Lobo, and the University
of the Redlands Bulldog.
The Daily portion stated that
the board overturned the recom-
mendations of the outgoing senior
editors for senior staff positions
* ad created a ne'w staff structure

change editorial policy.
I'. ro1~ts Actions
"SEAC protests the actions of
control igroups and university ad-
ministrator s which bai threaten-
ed to sei unfortnate precedents
for the campua press," the motion'
on all four papers declaresn
The motion was introduced to
tMe National Student Congress
<throughN the. l nnesota-Dakotas
region and sen to the post Con-
egress National Executive. Commit-
tee for approval.
The f SEAC also organized the
Student Press Association and a
new collegiate press service. The
,reorganization began when the
editors voiced their dissatisfaction
with the NSA sponsored University
Press Service and the SEAC itself.
Unmet Obligations
"The Uhiversity Press Service
has not met its obligations in a
satisfactory manner and has never
been a idiiect instrument of the
student editors," the Student Press
Association declaration states.
"After a careful examination of
the role of a college press serv-
ice, its :potentials and problems,
schools in attendance at the sixth
SEAC formed the United States
Student Press Association and the
meeting became the first meeting
of the Student Press Association
Conference," the declaration con-
tinued.
The USSPA is composed of col-
lege newspapers and runs a col-
legiate press service. The editors
elect represeriatives by region and
frequency publication to an
executive b rd which oversees the
press service and acts as a steer-
ing committee for the Conference.
Choose Director
The editors also choose a di-
rector for the press service. He col-
lects and coordinates news from
member campuses and national
and international student organi-
zations and then' sends it out to
the member papers. All major stor-
ies are phoned to the director who
then notifies the other member
papers and adds necessary back-
ground information.
The 'newly elected president of
the USSPA is John MacGregor,
editor of the New Mexico Lobo,

Mark Acuff, past editor, of the Lobo

'tion on 12 major resolutions and
15 program mandates.
The implications of internation-
al tension on the educational com-
munity could be seen in the basic
policy declaration on "Higher Ed-
ucation and the Cold War," resolu-
tions on nuclear testing, the In-
ternal Security Act and Cunning-
ham amendment, and program
mandates on peaceainformation
and the House Committee on Un-
American Activities.
Cite Ties
The declaration, which becomes
part of the "fundamental and con-
7 tinuing" policy of NSA, asserts that
universities and colleges have be-
come functionally tied to the con-
duct of domestic and foreign poli-
cy. It singled out the influence of
federal funds on research, in-

fringements of academic freedom
and restrictions on access to in-
formation, and fear of censure for
criticism of existing institutions as
effects of the cold war.
The declaration asks for broad-
enng the scope of education
through exchange programs and
area studies, research into the
problems of peace and war, study
of colonial and former colonial na-
tions and closer investigation of a
SUited Nations unverit3n
Asserting that higher education
has a responsibility to the society
which supports it, the declaration
affirnia the obligation of the uni-
'versifie's and colleges to take the
initiative in establishing the man-
ner by which they shall fulfill
their responsibilities.
Ross Role
Stiident Government Council
member Robert Ross, '63, contrib-
uted significantly to the writing of
the declaration.
Debate on the nuclear testing
resolution took a weary plenary
session through the night. At 6:10
a.m., the delegates put the finish-
ing touches on a motion condemn-
ing nuclear testing by all nations.
Final approval-215 for, 180
against, 11 abstentions - came
after repeated attempts by many
.delegates to differentiate qualita-
tively between the tests by the
Soviet Union and those of the
United States.
Condemn, Regret
The majority, however, rejected
motions which "condemned" the
Russians, but "regretted" testing
by the United States or condemn
the former and "regret, but sym-
pathize" with the latter.1
The final motion has particular
criticism of the Soviet's 1961 tests
which broke the 34 month testing1
moratorium.
Outgoing NSA National Affairs
Vice-President . Paul Potter and
Dennis Shaul, later elected NSA,
president for the coming year, both
urged the Congress to pass the
motion, stressing the need to take
an objective stand which would,
as one of them said, "use the same
moral and intellectual criteria to
judge wrongs by either side."
Free Speech
NSA expressed "grave reserva-
tions" about the effects of the
Internal Security Act of 1950 on
freedom of speech and freedom of
association and urged member
schools to study the effect of theI
act upon individual campuses.
The Internal Security Act, com-
monly known as the McCarren
Act, requires that organizations
found to be "Communist action,"
"Communist front" or "Commu-
nist infiltrated" must register with
the attorney general. Classifica-
tion is done by the bipartisan Sub-
versive Activities Control Board
which is established by the act.1
Delegates rejected a stronger

The new building, which will
cost more than $4 million will
bring together under one roof pro-
grams now being carried out in
thirteen different structures. The
building is scheduled for use in
the summer of 1964, and will allow
the school to increase its enroll-
ment from 600 to 850 students.
Of the total cost more than $3.5
million was appropriated by the
state legislature with the rest com-
ing from the possible sale of the
Maynard Street building, elimina-
tion of present rental costs for
music school space, specific gifts
and unrestricted University funds.
Three Units
The new building will have three
units. The first will include class-
rooms, practice rooms, studios and
administrative and faculty offices.
The second will hold rehearsal
halls for orchestra, band and
choirs and the third will contain
two organ instruction rooms.
Prof. James B. Wallace, dean of
the music school, said that the
building will be "the finest facility
in the country available for the
instruction of music." He added
that the building was a symbol of
the humanities taking their place
next to the sciences in the atomic
age.
Ground-Breaking
Speaking at the ground-break-
ing ceremonies University Presi-
dent Harlan Hatcher noted that
"we want this to symbolize the
fact that we have not neglected
our role in the development of the
humanities."
He also predicted one day the
axis of the University will inmve
" . beyond the. Medical Center
and across the river" in one con-
tinuous campus. He also saw the
city growing around it in time
extending as far as Whitmore
Lake.
Speaking later at a ground-
breaking luncheon at the Michi-
gan League President Hatcher
said that according to the Univer-
sity's long range plans the archi-
tecture college and the education
school will follow the music school
to North Campus.
New Charter
Considered
In Assembly
By ELLEN SILVERMAN
Assembly Association is complet-
ing work on 'a new constitution,
Assembly Association president
Mary Beth Norton, '63, said re-
cently.
Work was begun last spring and
it is hoped that the document will
be finished by the early meetings
of Student Government Council so
that they- may approve' it. "We
hope to be able to operate under
the new constitution beginning
early in the semester," Miss Nor-
tonsnsaid.
The constitution will provide for
various standing committees. The
present firstdvice-president will
become the administrative vice-
president and act as a coordinator
of the various committees.
Second Vice-President
The position of second vice-pres-
ident will be changed into a serv-
ice chairman and she will head
that committee.
Assembly Dormitory Council,
which, will be called Assembly
House Council or AHC, will re-
main the same. This body will rep-
resent houses within the women's
residence hall system.
AHC members, under the new
constitution, will also have to be
members of one of the standing
committees. In addition the com-
mittees will be open to any inter-
ested women.

Body Defenses Slow
Orgyanic Transplants
By MALINDA BERRY

The human body's remarkable system of defenses has been a ma-
jor barrier confronting medical science when it has attempted to
transplant living material from one person to another.
The body refuses to tolerate the presence of foreign organs or
tissues. It's overly efficient defenses against infections will destroy
any transplanted organic matter. Dr. Herbert Sloan of the Medical
School is currently engaged in trying to surmount some of the many

Hunt Urges
National. Plan
Of Education
DETROIT-Herold C. Hunt, a
nationally known educator, has
suggested that President John F.
Kennedy appoint a task force to
articulate a national education
policy.
Hunt, who is Eliot Professor of
Education at Harvard University,
said that the government appro-
priates nearly $2 billion for 300
education programs annually but
does not have a "tied-together plan
or policy."
The proposed task 4orce9 i
said, should include lay citizens
and professional educators.* Piece-
meal legislation and "stumbling"
without a national program of ed-
ucation, he argued, should "no
longer be allowed."
Hunt, former superintendent of
schools in Chicago, made his sug-
gestion in an address at the con-
vention of the American Federa-
tion of Teachers.
In urging a task force to study
needs for a federal policy in edu-
cation, Hunt made a distinction
between government policy and di-
rection. Since World War I, he
said, the federal government has
exercised more and more direction
over the nation's schools.
"I issue no denial of the need
[of laws relating to schools]," he
said, "but, in the absence of any
established program or national
policy by which their adequacy
and effectiveness may be evaluat-
ed, and by which they may con-
tribute maximally to the nation's
welfare and to the development of
its . citizenry, I deplore the hap-
hazard and gradually but increas-
ingly certain pattern of federal di-
rection and control they reflect."
Cary J. Megel of Chicago, presi-
dent of the teachers federation,
said that convention business
would center on future collective
bargaining programs and increas-
ing the organization's member-

technical problems involved with
transplantation.
Intoleration
Besides the basic difficulty of
the intoleration of the body "there
are many very real technical prob-
lems," Dr. Sloan said.
"We are currently working on
trying to take the heart out of a
dog completely and then put it
back. This has been done before,
but it is a complicated technical
feat," the mastery of which is es-
sential to further progress, he said.
Aside from the technical an-
swers which will move medical sci-
ence closer toward the solution of
this major problem, much physio-
logical information will be uncov-
ered.
Nervous Connections
"We will learn much about how
the heart works separated from
its nervous connections. We will
be able to stud the effe ts of
6 iots r92a A 't iessson te
heart," Dr. Sloan continued.
When they have been able to
transplant living tissue and have
it be tolerated by the receiving
body, much information will be
uncovered about the mechanisms
of the body protectors.
o "We need to be able to get rid
of the innate protection devices
of the body temporarily, and yet
still protect the animal from in-
fection."

The University Varsity Debate
Squad has announced its program
for the academic year. The Nation-
al College Debate question, which
is "Resolved: That the Non-Com-
munist Nations of the World
Should Establish an Economic
Community," will be debated along
with several other topics of cur-
rent interest in tournament, pub-
lic and on-campus events.
International debaters from the
Oxford University team will meet
the Michigan squad, Nov. 13, in
Ann Arbor.'
The University squad is a well-

The controversy between the
city of Ann Arbor and the Uni-

At its meeting last Monday the
City Council passed a resolution
asking a meeting of city officials
with the University Board of Re-
gents to review the women's hous-
ing development and to discuss the
Regents' policy for future. land
use.
Before the meeting it had been
proposed in some quarters that
the city obtain a court injunction
to stop the project. This would
have led to a court case to deter-
U ever-nfine whether the University has
Oxford the right to use its land independ-

Cecil . Creal said that theproj-

dividual has been depersonalized
by society. "He is confronted with
an issue at virtually the same mo-
ment he is being depersonalized as
we punch his IBM card and cal-
culate his moral responses."
Jellema claims that society no
longer supports and transmits a
generally agreed upon system of
values, a fact which tends to throw
a man back on his own resources
or those of his immediate family.
Where these are insufficient he
finds himself either unable to act
or he acts in conformity to "shift-
ing crowd sentiment."
. Claiming that this generation
sees the past and its morality as
irrelevant Jellema sees its cause
as "our enthusiastic acceptance of
change, our institutionalization of
it, our unwillingness to control or
guide its direction which make
the future seem equally uncertain
and remote.
Thus he justified the case for
a moral issues curriculum in our
colleges by the fact that "ability
to perceive moral issues and to
make decisions concerning them
is essential to man's real human-
ity.

EFFECTS OF INBREEDING:'
Neel Evaluates Role of Hu

By DEBORAH BEATTIE
Prominent in the investigation
of genetic influences on disease
and disorder is the Department of
Human Genetics at the University
Medical Center.
Dr. James V. Neel, professor of
human genetics and chairman of
the department, has said that
"with the progress now being
made, many of us believe that the
matter of human genetics will be-
come central to both preventative
and therapeutic medicine during
the coming decade."

children, they are mentally or

A famous example of this is
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, the

deformed after several accidents.
The bones would not grow after
they were broken because his par-
