President Hatcher delivered his annual state of the University address to the University Senate last night, outlining the primary issues the University will be concerned with in the coming year. Drawing parallels between the problems he discussed this sum- mer in England with, the Association of Commonwealth Universities and those which the University faces, President Hatcher said all of the serious new problems facing education today were the product of "the inescapable and organic fact of growth."

Henry Lewis last night until the next council session on Oct. 7, while two proposals concerning the HRC were made. First, Mayor Cecil O. Creal pro- posed that the membership of the HRC be increased from 10 to 12 and the recommendation was sent to the Committee on Fair Housing Legislation for approval. Without Powers Second, council passed a motion made by Fourth Ward Council- man Wendall Hulcher (R) that implementation of the HRC's powers should be held up until council members could confer with groups in the civil rights movement in Ann Arbor. The council action came in the wake of a protest about deficien- cies in the, HRC from the newly- formed Coordinating Council on Civil Rights. The coordinating council, or- ganized by the local chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, praoposed that the HRC be over- hauled to give it "roughly equal representation of Negro and white, Republican and Democrat from } each -ward."r Rewrite Ordinance One approach to this suggestion would be to rewrite the ordinance granting the HRC its power, ter- minate the present commission and appoint a new representative commission of about 12 to 15 members, the coordinating coun-' cil said. The council also heard a report compiled by the Citizen's Survey Committee in conjunction with the University on the feasibility of locating a community college in Washtenaw County. The report, which was favor- able to the proposal, noted that a large percentage of high school seniors in the Washtenaw County area who were not planning to go to college would have been in- terested in attending such a com- munity college. Author To Give '' Address Prof. Richard Hofstadter of Co- iv.mhia T s.,w-r ty a_ n ._ hi President Hatcher likened the development of a total plan of growth for the University to a cycle: the presentation of a plan followed by critical evaluation and the development of a new plan. Ten years ago each of the schools and colleges were asked to project their enrollment expec- tations for the next decade. Pres- ident-Hatcher said they had been asked to do so again. The tenta- tive projections and statements of need are now in the administra- tion's hands but President Hatch- er emphasized that they are still only tentative figures. A great deal of this work was done during the summer to pre- pare for questioning by Gov. George Romney's Citizen's Com- mittee on Higher Education. Stress Principle The president indicated that the statement of needs from the var- ious schools and colleges should stress the same principle that the University's request to the Legis- lature does; that the resources meet the obligations already as- sumed. The new residential college, President Hatcher said, "moves the discussion of growth to a more profitable level than the one on whichit is often pursued. The question posed by the college is not ,whether we increase the amount of training in the liberal arts but in what organizational structure." He said he was highly in favor of the college proposal. "'Campus Planning' " is an ex- pression of growth in physical terms which can accommodate an expansion of the various educa- See TELLS, Page 2 " s Niije Given 'U' A wards University President Harlan Hatcher last night presented the distinguished faculty and service awards to nine members of the faculty following his State of the University address to the Faculty Senate.

By STEPHEN BERKOWITZ and THOMAS COPI Charles Thomas Jr., chairman of the Direct Action Committee, a local civil rights group, said last evening that DAC intends to picket Ben Bella Hits Moves By Morocco ALGIERS (JP)-President Ahmed Ben Bella clarged last night that' Morocco has troops poised ten yards from the Algerian border and is backing a Berber uprising against his government. The Algerian political bureau called for crowds of Algerians to demonstrate for Ben Bella this evening. In a dramatic radio address to the nation Ben Bella said "Moroc- can soldiers of Moulay Hassan are ten meters from the Algerian frontier. Fear Nothing "We know what it means. We fear nothing. We can defend our- selves." There was no immediate reac- tion from Morocco to Ben Bella's remarks. While Ben Bella spoke, confus- ing reports poured into the cap- ital about loyalist and dissident troops moving around in Kabylie, east of Algiers BEN BELLA .. attacks Some army units were in a state of mutiny in Kabyie following their commander, Col. Mohand Ou El Hadj, who was deposed by Ben Bella as chief of the, 7th mil- itary region. Mohand Ou El Hadi openly proclaimed opposition to Ben Bella.Co n o According to some reports, gov- ernment troops sent to stem the resolt evacuated some points they had occupied earlier-u-nly to re- Small convoys were crossing one another and bewildered officers claimed they knew nothing. There were no clashes between the op- posing forces and the number of government troops engaged in the movement did not exceed 1000. In his radio speech, Ben Bella charged that Algerian Berber lead- er Belkacem KriN , one of the authors of the (French-Algerian) Evian peace treaty, visited Tan- gier in an effort to obtain Moroc- can help. the Administration Bldg. "some- time in October-to demand more jobs for Negroes in the Adminis- tration Bldg. and also the SAB. "Our purpose is also to correct, through negotiations and picket- ing, discriminatory practices that spot other University facilities," Thomas said. Thomas envisions DAC's action as proceeding in two distinct steps -a second demonstration to occur only in the event that DAC's demands are not met after the initial picket. Conventional "Our first picket will be conven- tional, but the tactics of our sec- ond picket will be to close down the buildings involved; including both the Administration Bldg. and the SAB," he said. He also said that in closing the buildings "DAC will consider any attempt to break our line an act of violence that will be met in kind. We are a self-defense organ- ization. We can also guarantee participation in our line of the Detroit chapter of Uhuru," he con- tinued. Further, he said, "if necessary we will put several thousand men from the Washtenaw County area on the line." Warning Thomas issued a warning to all the "Aunt Beulahs, Uncle Toms and white liberals to watch us on television but keep away from the line. It'll be too rough for them." DAC further warned people not in sympathy with the demonstra- tion to avoid contact with the p'ickets. Thomas maintained that mem- bers of individual groups such as the Black Muslims would probably participate in the picketing of the Administration, Bldg., but that the organizations would probably not participate as such.? No Comment University officials declined to comment on the proposed DAC pickets. A street rally has been tenta tively set by DAC for Saturday, Oct. 17, at 7:30 p.m. at Beakes St. and Fourth, according to "The Brotherhood Eye," DAC's official publication. DAC has been involved in the past in two demonstration regard- ing alleged cases of discrimina- tion in Ann Arbor. Picket City Hall On Sept. 14 and Sept. 21, DAC picketed Ann Arbor City Hall re- garding an incident of alleged police brutality involving the shooting of a local Negro youth, Leroy Juide, this summer. According to Thomas, the group, which is not a recognized student organization, contains roughly six to ten University students. The group includes at least 150 Negroes from the Ann Arbor vicinity, he said. Rufus Griffin, a representative of Uhuru, said Saturday that "we support DAC and its movement. We support the picket that it called 100 per cent." OAA Presents Class Report The Office of Academic Affairs recently distributed to University deans a list of fall, 1962, classes having less than 15 students. Such lists of class size are is- sued periodically by the Univer- sity administration as an exchange of information, Robert Williams, administrative dean of the OAA, said yesterday. On PORTLAND STATE COLLEGE: Six Sororities Suspended By MARGARET LOWE Six national sorority chapters were recently suspended at Port- land State College because they refused to pledge the only two Negro girls who sought member- ship. Five of the six sororities have chapters at the University. They are Alpha Chi Omega, Alpha Omi- cron Pi, Alpha Phi, Delta Delta Delta and Pi Beta Phi. The sixth sorority is Delta Zeta. These soroiities were put on an inactive basis by Branford P., Millar, president of the college. This action was taken because "there is enough doubt that no discrimination was involved," Mil- lar said.j Only One Reason Miller noted that the only rea- son the sororities have for reject- ing the Negroes is the wish of the girls in the houses not to live with them. Committee AimisTo Set Up Autonomous USNSA Store By LAURENCE KIRSHBAUM An ad-hoc committee is planning to change the United States National Student Association cooperative bookstore into a locally- run and financially autonomous cooperative bookstore, according to Howard Schechter, '66, spokesman for the committee. If the plans go through, the bookstore will keep its name and maintain the USNSA in an advisory capacity, but its administration "and finances will be handled lo- cally, Schechter explained. PROF. RICHARD JENNINGS ... dies Attack Fells .Professor Prof. Richard Hall Jennings of the architecture school, national- ly known designer of architectural foundations, died suddenly of a heart attack, Saturday night. Prof. Jennings, who taught at the University since 1958, was well known for his work in fountain designs and his integration of sculpture and architecture. Prof. Robert L. Iglehart, chair- man of the art department, said yesterday, "Prof. Jennings' great gifts, his fresh and ingenious ap- proach to problems and his infec- tious enthusiasm made him an artist of wide reputation and an inspiring teacher and friend." Selection The bookstore is currently one of a chain of four USNSA book- stores on Big Ten campuses. Its sdministrat on and finances have been handled through the Chicago office of USNSA. It is incorporated separately under a Wisconsin co- operative corporation law. 'Sounder Basis' The ad-hoc !committee, which includes Bookstore Manager Car- ol Wigle, Inter-Cooperative Coun- cil Executive Secretary Luther Buchele and Graduate Student Council Vice-President Michael Rosen, Grad, hopes to put the bookstore "on a sounder financial basis through more expedient serv- ice," Schechter said. He explained that the current store setup under USNSA forces the store to pay for the adminis- trative bureaucracy of the Chicago office and the financial insecuri- ties of the other stores. Under the store's current status, the quarterly division of profits among customers will be kept at a minimum 10 per cent rebate "be- cause this store must compensate for the failures of USNSA cooper- atives elsewhere," Schechter said. Major Fault Schechter also emphasized that the store's other major fault has been "its insufficient book inven- tory which forces customers to or- der books and wait several weeks to receive them." By putting the store on a sound- er financial basis, the ad-hoc com- mittee would be able to stock the store with over $65,000 inventory of books by the next semester book rush, Schechter said. This would be almost 10 times the num- ber of books the store had in stock at the beginning of this semester. The committee is meeting this week to work out its exact status with USNSA and to receive new and expanded financial credit. Committee The sororities feel they should have the freedom to choose whom they wish to associate with and that "to yield to faculty pressure eliminates all freedom of choice." The two girls were "eminently qualified" and "the kind of pledges all sororities are looking for," Mil- lar said. There were only two other girls cut during the early stages of rush out of 115 who sought membership. Similar Cases "There were many other cases in the past when sorority mem- bership was questioned by the faculty," Millar commented. "This is definitely not a test case as far as the administration is con- cerned, but is 'the straw that finally broke the camel's back.'" "No longer can sorority mem- bership practices escape serious doubt," he added. When national sororities were first allowed on the Oregon State campus in 1960, the faculty decid- ed that "serious doubt" would be the criterion for judging member- ship issues. Burden of Proof "The burden of proof is on the sororities," Millar said. "They must show that they do not practice membership discrimination." In a joint statement the sorori- ties said the college's request for such evidence amounted to an ultimatum to admit the Negro girls. Millar said he, will appoint a faculty board to review the case and to establish future status of the sororities at the college. AHC "Acts To Change Plan of Body Most members of Assembly House Council voted themselves out of office yesterday, as they approved a plan to change the body into a president's council. The plan accepted stipulates, however, that any president who is unable to attend a, meeting can send a substitute, who must be an elected member of the house council. The proposal will be incorpor- ated into the revised constitution and by-laws which will be pre- sented at next week's AHC meet- ing. If the new constitution is accepted, it must be approved by Student Government Council, and is subject within the next two weeks after that time to Office of Student Affairs vote. New Powers Assembly Vice-President Max- ine Loomis, '65N, has been work- ing with a committee to incor- porate in the new constitution powers included in the Statement of Authority drafted by Assembly last year. The statement included many of the functions assumed by the organization over the years, but not necessarily present in the formal constitution. In other action, it was an- nounced at the meeting that Leon- ard Schott, business manager of the residence halls, has indicated dorms may hold as many open- open houses as the residents wish, providing no food to be provided by the residence halls is neces- sary. No Formal Ruling Schott could find no formal rul- ing to support the impression held currently by many house officers that the number of open-opens were restricted to two per semes- ter. He said, however, that this could have been a policy inform- ally established by former Dean of Women Deborah Bacon and not Taylor Says. Women Fail IFC 'Not Affected' By Jurisdiction Loss; Plans To Move Ahead By MARILYN KORAL Members of the Panhellenic As- sociation will not sit on the pro- posed. IFC-Panhel membership selection advisory committee ap- proved by Student Government Council last week because the com- mittee will have neither power nor effectiveness, and thus will not meet with the approval of some of the sorority nationals, Panhel President Patricia Elkins, '64, said last night. Miss Elkins will ask for the de- letion of the Panhellenic name. from the committee at tomorrow's meeting. Interfraternity Council President Clifford Taylor, '64 in- tends to go ahead with filling the committee.11 "In my opinion this indicates a lack of responsibility on the part of the Panhellenic Association. IFC feels we have responsibility in this area. We have not change ed our conception that this Is basically a Greek problem. Not Liiftedy "Our effectiveness will not be severely limited by not having original jurisdiction. On the con- trary, this will even serve as an incentive to fraternities to handle the problem expediently," Taylor said last night. The advisory committee ap- proved by SGC will work under the Council Membership Selection Practices committee and will not have original jurisdiction. "We will only have the power to talk and recommend. This has been done in the past, and we'll continue to do, it. The committee will not im- prove our effectiveness," Miss El- kins commented. In addition, she pointed out that "the nationals would probably not be terribly pleased to have even more people see their documents." Don't Believe Since the five sororities who refused to submit membership statesents to SOC have already indicated they don't believe stu- dents have the right to enforce the Regents bylaw against discrim- ination, having more students see their constitutions-even if they are Greeks - without granting them power, would only compound sorority objection, Miss Elkins said. She noted, however, that this was the consensus of the sorority presidents. "Most will not be in full contact with their nationals after our Thursday meeting." However, if the IFC-Panhel committee had been granted orig- inal jurisdiction in enforcement of the bylaw, Miss Elkins is quite sure it would have met with ap- proval from many sorority nation- als. "Then we would have started to work," she commented. IFC Group Backs Slate An ad hoc committee of fra- ternity presidents and Interfra- ternity Council officers has en- dorsed four of the 10 candidates running for Student Government Council: Douglas Brook, '65, Scott Crooks, '65, Russell Epker, '64BAd, and Thomas Smithson, '65. The endorsements carry no of- HIiLLEL PANEL: Freedman Discusses WorldPopulation Contrasts By DUANE MACKIE The world population problem is one marked by contrasts, Prof. Ronald Freedman of the sociology department said last night in a panel discussion at Hillel. On one hand are parents in the United States who have large fam- ilies, although they are able to control their size, Prof. Freedman said. On the other hand are the parents throughout much of the rest of the world who desire small-1 e,. fammiie- btf n not have t its present rate, it will be four and one-half billion by the year 2250. "It is the well-educated, middle class Americans who are having a lot of kids," Freedman said. It is not because they are unable to prevent conception, he noted, but because they want to have large families. Attribution The baby boom can be attribut- ed to the fact that there has been having children they don't want to have," Freedman noted. This group is accounting for a dispro- portionate percentage of the birth increase, he said. The world problem can be ex- plained with "extreme examples," Freedman said. For example, if the population rise had been what it is at present since the time of Ceasar, the world would be in- habited by some 135 quadrillion people, or 30,000 times the world's .. :. ....,:,a ... :.
