WAY.im i " aN V V A l''x"lilV 4f" 1.70J 0 T LISTS SIX POINTS: DAC Enumerates Demands for 'U' Officials Chances of Added Tuition Hikes Dim (Continued from Page 1) The letter was signed by DAC Chairman Charles Thomas, Vice- Chairman Davi Barnard, Mrs. L. Meyers, Lewis Meyers and Peter Signorelli, '64. The five act as DAC's executive board. Meyers is a teaching fellow in the English department. Mrs. Meyers, Bar- nard and Thomas are not con- nected with the University. "The Direct Action Committee hereby serves notice upon you," the letter concluded, "that failure to accept and act upon these de- mands within the time limits stip- ulated above will result in a sec- ond picket of the Administration Bldg. This projected picket line will shut the, building for the hours prescribed by DAC for the demonstration. "All efforts to enter the build- ing, whether by employes, unalign- ed civilians, University officials or police, will be forcibly opposed." Speaking for DAC, Meyers ex- plained last night that the time limits attached to the demands "would have gone into effect on the date the University agreed to them. It is obvious that there will be no agreement, so they no long- er apply." Picket Soon Meyers said the picket would be held before the end of the year but refused to give an exact date. He said it may not come before the end of the semester. Classes end on Dec. 14, while final exams end one week later. The Admin- istration Bldg., however, remains open after students leave campus. Meyers called the University's release of the DAC letter "a fair- ly underhanded action. We want- ed to negotiate, but this has cer- tainly undermined the negotia- tions." He added that University Personnel Officer Charles All- mand, to whom the letter was delivered, had promised the group a personal reply by mail. Allmand denied that any promises were made. Meyers said he has given All- mand specific cases of discrimina- tory hiring. "We haven't run any test cases ourselves, but we have a list of qualified Negroes who have been rejected for jobs by the Uni- versity. Pierpont Replies Disputing this charge, Pierpont added in his statement that the University "has a comprehensive program in its employment poli- cies and procedures to be sure as is humanly possible that all quali- fied members of minority groups who apply for available positions are employed and given every op- portunity to advance in their dut- ies and responsibilities. "The University simply does not discriminate in its hiring prac- tices," he said. The vice-president used the same language two days ago when, speaking for the Regents, he re- jected a proposal from Student Government Council's Human Re- lations Board that the University study its employment structure to seek out and eliminate "barriers to the employment of minority group members." HRB Chairman David Aroner, '64, expressed dissatisfaction with Pierpont's view at the time, and challenged the University to pub- lish a department by department breakdown of Negro employment. Such a study would "prove em- barrassing," Aroner claimed. He declared last night, however, that he was equally opposed to DAC's methods. "I question whether they have gone through all the available channels, to what extent they have discussed their demands with the University," Aroner said. "They haven't pre- sented any facts," he added. "I've never felt able to say that t h e University discriminates," Aroner said. "The University has a definite non - discrimination policy, and I think most people at the top are doing their best to enforce it. There are probably in- dividual cases of discrimination at lower levels, but individual bigots will eventually be found out and fired. Bigger Concern "I'm more concerned with struc- tural procedures-promotion and recruitment, for instance-which have been built in over the years. These procedures were certainly not designed to discriminate - but they work, in effect, against minority groups." Aroner said the problem is one which demands expert study. "No laymen can pinpoint these prob- lems. They require sociological study." The following is the coplete text of a letter presented to the University on Tuesday by the Direct Action Committee. LIST OF DEMANDS: 1. Preferential hiring. (one week) 2. Termination of the practice of testing applicants for jobs in such a way that skills which are irrelevant to the particular opening are called for;. an end to the practice of giving aptitude tests that function to guarantee middle-class employes only for office jobs. (one month) 3. Dismissal of racists, bigots, those who reject qualified applicants for jobs on the sole basis of their race, color, creed, nationality or political affiliation. (one week after fact is established) 4. Official notification to be received by DAC of openings, until an agreed upon number of Negroes are given preferential hiring. (one week) 5. After this number is reached, all such openings to be announced through regular channels: no hiring by word of mouth unless it can be shown that all formal efforts to fill a position have failed. 6. All personnel responsible for hiring to be officially noti- fied of these changes and modifications in employment policy. (immediately) The Direct Action Committee hereby serves notice upon you that failure to accept and act upon these demands within the time limits stipulated above will result in a second picket of the Administration Bldg. This projected picket line will shut the building for the hours prescribed by DAC for the demonstration. All efforts to enter the building, whether by employes, unaligned civilians, University officials or police, will forcibly opposed.

Schools 'Resigned' The 10 schools have requested a $33.8 million increase, "but they are already resigned to the fact that these appropriation requests will be well-trimmed," Orlebeke indicated. He is one of series of adminis- trative budget officials currently examining the individual approp- riation requests. The budget hear- ing for the University will be held next Tuesday. The Legislature issues the total higher education appropriation in one bill, but divides each institu- tion's allotment within the bill. Need More Money Romney is well-aware that this year's legislative operating ap- propriation of $110 million-only $6 million more than last year- could not be repeated again, the aides noted. Inflation and enrollment in- creases alone would require a minimum $9-$10 million boost to match the effects of this year's $6 million raise. Van Dusen ex- plained. If salary raises are to be in- cluded, an extra several million will be needed. $12 Million Enough A $12 million increase overall for higher education would supply the University with sufficient funds to preclude a tuition hike, Regent Allan Sorenson of Midland estimated at the Regents meeting last Friday. The $12 million tentative in- crease is considered by the aides as a basic minimum considering the predicted revenues for the 1964-65 fiscal year of $600 million and a $25 million surplus in rev- enue this year. The Romney administration will tend to be conservative in creat- ing revenue projections on which to determine the appropriation recommendation, Orlebeke em- phasized. This caution is spurred by the new constitution's provision that appropriation promises may have to be cut back in the actual spending in order to achieve a balanced budget.
