George Rom- ney revised his tax reform pro- gram yesterday to meet the ob-' jections of Republican legislators, though passage of the plan re-! mains doubtful. The revisions were worked out by a special committee composed of GOP House and Senate leaders. Romney said they were "minimum modifications" from his original proposals. , Addition of more state money for local schools was the major change made in the plan. The two per cent state income tax and repeal of the four per cent sales Lack Places For Teaching By MARILYN KORAL Due to enrollment increases, for the first time in the history of the education school all of the stu- dents seeking student teacher as- signments-required for teacher's certificate candidates-cannot be placed in local positions. Approximately 89 candidates for the secondary teaching certificates in English have been notified that, as of now, they will have to stu- dent teach in off-campus areas, Lowell Beach, coordinator of stu- dent teaching in the education school, said yesterday. commented. Crooks sponsored the motion. In related action, Council man- dated its Public Relations Board to handle arrangements and ad- vertising. Discriminatory Grants A second major move was pass- age of a motion submitted by Daily Editor Ronald Wilton, '64: SGC will ask the Board of Re- gents to refuse to accept or ad- minister any new scholarships with eligibility requirements dis- criminating on the basis of race, religion or national origin. Delete Further Step The second clause of this mo- tion, however, was deleted. It would have called upon the Re- gents to "adopt a policy whereby one discriminatory scholarship is dropped for every non-discrimina- tory scholarship adopted of equal or greater value." According to Wilton, the Uni- versity now offers several of these j scholarships which are in con- flict with Regents Bylaw 2.14. Several Specifically, he mentioned that among these scholarships are the Emma M. and Florence L. Abbott Scholarship, The American In- dian Scholarship, the Levi L. Bar- bour Scholarship for Oriental Women and the B'nai B'rith Council of Michigan Awards. Howard Schecter, '66, spoke in favor of the deletion, because, he claimed, if the University turns down scholarship funds, "it will mean somebody that we don't know will possibly be deprived of' the chance for a college educa- tion." However, Interfraternity Coun- cil President Clifford Taylor, '64, favored the motion in its entire-' ty. "If you substitute the word 1 fraternity for the word scholar- ship, it will read exactly like the action we have just taken." Re-Examine Rule In further action, the Commit- tee of the Whole discussed a mo- tion by Executive Vice-President Thomas Smithson, '65, that the University re-examine rules con- cerning student conduct which are. "unenforceable, or otherwise un- justified on educational and even 'in loco parentis grounds'." Smith- son said the rules are allowed to stand because of their "public re- lations value." The purpose of- the discussion was to guide the Executive Com- mittee in further negotiations with the Office of Student Affairs in regard to student conduct. Smithson urged that the Uni- versity assume that its students are socially responsible, and only remove privileges when there is a I transgression of responsibility. House Agrees To JOint Gronu A second letter was sent to those fraternities and : sororities who have filed. "adequate membership statements" requesting them to notify SGC within 14 days if their statements are accurate Lewis Statement (EDITOR'S NOTE: The follow-. ing is a copy of the letter sub- mitted to Vice-President for Stu- dent Affairs James A. Lewis to Student Government Council last night.) Dear Mr. Epker: In keeping with the respon- sibility of this office as pre- scribed in the Student Govern- ment Council Plan, I hereby no- tify you that the action taken at the Oct. 23, 1963 meeting is sustained. In my opinion, the qualifications made in the "Regulations on Membership Selection in Student Organiza- tions", satisfy the questions raised by the Referral Commit- tee. I further suggest that you proceed with all possible haste to institute the process for the creation of the Membership Committee and the Membership Tribunal. If this office can be of help in any way, please feel free to call on me. Respectfully, James A. Lewis The third letter was sent out to all other SGC-recognized student organizations informing them that their constitutions are deemed to be in accord with the membership regulations. The Committee on Membership Selection in Student Organizations was first established in October, 1960. tax on food and drugs were re- tained. Local Education The plan is expected to add $42 million fur local education to the state's budget over the next three . years, though the original $306 million total for the entire tax package remains unchanged. "We've been improving the gov- ernor's program, not compromis- ing," Senate Majority Leader Stanley G. Thayer (R-Ann Arbor) said. "But the whole thing will sink or swim with the income tax." Speaker of the House Allison Green (R-Kingston) said "I'm optimistic." However the fate of the program rests with the Demo- crats. Even in its revised form, Green predicted that it could only get "about 40" Republican votes out of the 56 needed for House passage. At Least 12 in Favor Thayer said a survey of Re- publican senators showed "at least 12" willing to . vote for an income tax if other portions of the plan can be worked out. Eighteen senators must vote for a bill to pass it in the upper chamber. Democrats are expected to ask for at least some changes in the program in return for enough votes to get an income tax through. One key factor in winning Re- publican support for the pro- posals may be a constitutional amendment setting limits on the income taxes. Some Republicans talked about submitting the idea to voters at a special statewide election next spring. Predict Success "We'll contact Democrats after the bills are amended and out on the floor," Green said. The pro- gram is "so good they'll just have to go along with it." Democrats, meanwhile, are con- tinuing to be noncommital until they see what actually reaches the floor. While negotiations on final form of the proposed tax revision are going on, a by-play that could spell either success or failure for the program is going on in the Senate. In Committee The 10-member Senate Approp- riations Committee is currently holding 10 bills carrying the ma- jor portions of the Romney pro- gram. Six votes are needed to bring the bills to the floor. Three Democrats on the com- mittee say they are firmly com- mitted to try to kill the bills. Of' the seven Republicans, five are reportedly expected to vote to bring the bills out. . The key vote is held by Sen- ator Lloyd Stephens (R-Scot ville) who is being wooed by b factions and is undecided. After Failed The special committee wh worked out the revisions were tablished by the Senate and Hol caucuses last week after Ro ney's original program failed win majority party support. The proposed revisions wh came out of the committee elude : 1) A change in the school formula resulting in an incre in state aid of $7 million each y for three years.

Subcommittee Bans Studet In Discussions Prof. Howard Peckham, cha man of the Public Relations Cot mittee of the University Senc Advisory Committee on Univers Affairs (SACUA), announced y terday that the committee woi not allow students to participate their meetings.

CARL COHEN ... speaker resolution States Views On Sp-eakers By JEFFREY GOODMAN Resolutions concerning speaker policies and establishment of a committee to study the possibility of a statewide authority for state- supported colleges in Michigan were passed at last week's meet- ing of the Michigan Conference of the American Association of Uni- versity Professors.

Should the state Legislature not wish million boost sought by Romney, there is a ity" that it will propose only a $5 million increase, asking the 10 public institutions to ac- cumulate a matching $5 mil- lion through tuition hikes, Sen. William G. Milliken (R- Traverse City), chairman of the Senate Education Com- mittee, said. Has Not Heard Senate Majority Leader Stan- ley G. Thayer (R-Ann ArborY commented that he had not heard about the matching increase plan. The Legislature is prohibited by both the present and future con- stitution from passing any legis- lation which forces the hiking of tuitions. The hikes would have to be voluntary by each college or university. The University. which has re- quested an increased appropria- tion of more than $9 million than GOV.

To The Daily LANSING-If anticipated tax revenues materialize, Gov. George Romney will recommend only a $10 million increase in next year's state appropriation for higher education, State Comptroller Glenn Allen disclosed yesterday. Michigan's 10 public universities and colleges covered in the appropriation have submitted budget requests asking for a total of $140.8 million-a $30 million increase over last year's to accept the $10 "definite possibil- Beach claimed, however, that attrition rates this semester will likely reduce the number of stu- dents unable to be placed in a local position Next spring to ap- proximately 30. "We've had a decade of ex- perience with off-campus place- ment in that about 10 per cent of our students usually elect to teach off campus," Beach said. Most of the students receive posi- tions in the Detroit area, and are supervised by a full time employee at the Dearborn Center. Placement on campus is made on the basis of date of application, Beach explained, and thus the students who were turned down applied late. He commented that the education school hopes to use contacts throughout the state to help place them. If the school had more money for staff, they could hire super- visors for off-campus programs other than the one in Detroit, and thus would not be in such a bad position now, Associate Dean Charles Lehmann noted. Beach set the student teacher- supervisor ratio at 1-70 and de- clared that a 1-20 ratio would be considered reasonable.

The consensus between the two groups was that multiple family housing units are compatible with "existing and proposed single fam- ily districts" if an adequate buf- fer or separation exists. Also, attention to public oppo- sition to multiple family housing must be considered, commission and council members pointed out. 'Sea of Faces' Invalid However, City Attorney Jacob Fahrner explained that "the sea of faces" complaint is not in it- self a strong enough basis for denial ofspetitions requesting to build multiple family housing units. "The City Council must have specific and concrete rea- sons for making multiple family housing policy, because a sea of faces will not be enough to stand on in the event of a court suit," Fahrner claimed. The commission presented var- ious possibilities ranging from highly restrictive to broadly in- clmsive policies on multiple family zoning. One of the most restrictive pro- posals, which wos immediately dismissed as "unrealistic," stated that the city will not rezone or zone only newly-annexed land for any additional multiple family zoning districts. Confinement Question Another major question faced by the two groups was whether the city should confine multiple By ROBERT JOHNSTON Inadequate and outdated fa- cilities have made it "increas- ingly impossible" for the Uni- versity's dental school "to maintain its standards, repu- tation and rating" in the face of an increasing need for den- tal graduates, Dean William R.

Greater under- graduate as well as graduate participation is needed," Dean Mann noted. Continuing, he pointed out that the present level of enroll- ment would gradually be rais- ed in the new building to about 600 undergraduates and 150 dental hygienists. This level will be sufficient to meet the long- range needs of Michigan in the "forseeable future," Dean Mann said. He added that "a steadily rising demand by the public for dental care is also increas- ing the need for expanded en- rollment."
