John Feldkamp, '61, James Hadley, '61, Roger Seasonwein, '61, Per Hanson, '62, Arthur Rosenbaum, '62, and M. A. Hyder Shah, Grad., will fill six of the 11 elective positions on the Council. "I can't be pessimistic about the low vote," Feldkamp declared. "But we should strive to correct this.

Voters in this election were supposed to be restricted to sec- ond semester juniors and first se- mester seniors in the literary col- lege, but a check showed that voters in this election had prob- ably included others. These irregularities, Joint Ju- dic Chairman Michael Sklar, '60, said, were felt by the Council t be enough to markedly influence the election results. For this rea- son a new election will be held for the posts. Ronald Seigal's election to trea- surer and Tina Tarler's to secre- tary were validated, however, as the irregularities were not suffi- cient to affect the results.- In the senior class officer elec- tions for the business administra- tion school, James Agnew was elected president over Bill War- nock, holding 35 votes out of the 55 cast. Alex Fisher was chosen vice- president with 36 votes to Paul Kripke's 19, and Robert Radway, unopposed for. treasurer, received 45 votes. There was one write-in vote for secretary, and unopposed candidate- Kay Warner received 45. Mahey Wins Roger Mahey was given 53 votes as unopposed candidate for president of the education school, and Leila Reese received 48 as the only candidate for treasurer. There were no nominees for the other offices, but two write-in votes were cast for vice-president. Dorothy Dedo was elected with one of these, as the other candi- date was academically ineligible. In the engineering school, Roger Barnes was elected president of the senior class with 80 votes, fol- lowed by John Cothorn with 30. Richard Staelin was chosen vice- president with 77 votes against two write - ins for other candi- dates. Duane Wasmuth, unop- posed for the office of secretary- treasurer, was given 72 votes. Publications Peter Dawson, '60, Ronald Pet- ers, '60, and James Benagh, '60, were elected to the Board in Con- trol of Student Publications. The two defeated candidates were Su- SanhHoltzer, '61, and Thomas Gething, 61. In the elections for the Union Board of Directors, conducted by the Hare system, James Hadley, '61, was elected on the first bal- lot. Hadley had 454 votes, the to- tal number of ballots was 1,562, and the quota was 312. ' ne asn lctd nn hsp- 'tions of the Council as a whole- as well as specific areas of inter- est -- should increase the effect- iveness of SOC." Feldkamp, an incumbent who has served as SGC president since the fall elections, was swept in on the first ballot with 750 first- place votes. The quota necessary to elect him was 423 since the number of valid ballots was 2,955. As each candidate was elected, his votes were redistributed to the candidates listed next on the in- dividual ballots. The total num- ber of valid ballots on each round divided by seven -- the number of posts open plus one - deter- mined the quota necessary to elect a candidate on that round., This is a modification of the Hare count system. The second ballot elected Had- ley, with 504 votes. Eleanor Cook, '62, was dropped on the third ballot, and no one was elected. Elected with 423 votes on the fourth ballot was Seasonwein. Fred Riecker, '63, was dropped on the fifth ballot. His 115 votes were low. Write-in candidate Brereton Bissell, '61, disqualified by Joint Judiciary Council for violating election rules, withdrew after the fifth ballot in favor of Paul Heil, '63. His 223 votes were redistrib- uted accordingly. "If I had been elected, I would not have been able to accept the seat because of the condition I placed on my acceptance of office over a week ago," Bissell asserted. He and Heil had announced they would not accept Council seats if elected unless the total vote reached 5,000. "I would not have asked the Council to decide whether to seat me because I thought this would only further injure the reputa- tion of the Council. It would only drag them through the mud more," and I am the one responsible for the situation," he concluded. No candidates were elected on the sixth ballot. On the seventh round of distri- bution, Per Hanson, '62, was elect- ed with 399 votes. The quota was 389. Don Corriere, '61, was dropped with 201 votes after the eighth ballot.-, Arthur Rosenbaum, '62, was elected on the ninth ballot with 462 votes- after Corriere's votes were re-distributed. The sixth and final seat was filled on the tenth ballot when M. A. Hyder Shah, Grad., was elected with 381 votes, 35 over the quota of 346.

Pierpont, University Vice Committee Set To Study Housing bias The University announced yes- terday formation of a committee to recommend policies and. prac- tices to fulfill the Regents' anti. discrimination bylaw as it relates to off-canpus housing. The six-member committee re- ceived its assignment from Uni- versity Vice-president for Student Affairs James A. Lewis, who is an ex-officio committee member with- out vote. The group will be chaired by Assistant Dean of Women Eliza- beth Davenport. Other members are Prof. Eleanor G. Cranefield of the social work school, Assistant Dean of Men William Cross, Ralph Gibson of the Ann Arbor Human Relations Council and Ellen Lewis, '60, and James Seder, '61. In Flist Stages The committee is still in "its very first stages," Mrs. Davenport said. The group must first decide where the Regents' bylaw is ap- plicable, she said. It will then recommend policies and carry them out, Mrs. Fuller continued. "We expect to take ac- tion." The Regents' bylaw waspassed last November. It says tle Uni- versity shall not discriminate be- cause of ancestry, race, color, re- ligion, creed or ntional origin and shall direct its officials to work for elimination of discrimina- tory practices where students and employees are involved. Bylaw Spelled Out Recommendations from the com- mittee will correspond with "the effective powers and available re- sources of the University and com. munity agencies." Members of the administration regard the bylaw as a directive to eliminate discrimination wherever it may exist, Lewis said. University President Harlan Hatcher has said the University would work with "rather than coerce" groups it wishes to in- fluence. Progress Cited In the area of fraternity-so- rority bias clauses, he said the University has made "steady pro- gress." "It's relatively easy to take out a clause," President Hatcher said, "but a meaningful anti-discrimi- nation program is directed tward "working away at the understan4- ing of why this is." Lewis previously indicated his office will work in the area of co- ordinating groups sich as Student Government Council and the Inter-Fraternity Council in their efforts to work out a solution to the "bias clause problem." Add Course At Dearborn. By JIM BENAGHI Sports Editor Michigan became the first school to go on record against the Big Ten's recommended ban on NCAA post-season play. The action was taken last night by the University's Athletic Board, which also acted to raise the price of football tickets for the first time since 1952. Since the University's vote on post-season participation was the initial one, an institutional vote by Conference members will be Asks Support Of Education EAST LANSING OP)-It is no longer possible, Gov. G. Mennen Williams said yesterday, to send a youngster off to college "with a hundred dollar bill in one hand, an admission slip in the other, and a prayer that he will make it." Not more than half of the top 40 per cent of the new high school graduates go to college, Williams told a Michigan junior college meeting at Michigan State Univer - sity. "This nation can ill afford the loss of these potential scholars," the Governor said. "We can hardly dare to throw away and waste this valuable manpower." One answer, Williams said, is greater use of the community col- lege, the only educational institu- tion specifically developed in the United States. Six of the 16 community col- leges now in operation In the et:te have come into existence in the past nine years, Williams noted. "In a relatively short time," he said, "the community college has become an integral part of the complete public educational pro- gram for everyone of all age taken when faculty representa- tives confer for their spring meet- ing at East Lansing, May 19-20. This is in accordance with the White Resolution, under vWhich the proposal was originally passed. Objection Apparent If a Conference school had not objected to the proposal, Big Ten athletes would not be able to par- ticipate in NCAA championship meets. However, it was apparent that some other school would have voted against the ban, even if the University did not take the first step. The action by the Athletic Board was consistent with its earlier legislation on post-season play. The University -- through the Board's vote-supported the recent Rose Bowl pact renewal along with four other institutions. But the measure needed six in favor and thus failed. Big Ten participation in the Rose Bowl had been voted out at the Conference's winter meetings two weeks ago at Columbus, O., and the all-sports ban followed immediately. Votes Tentative Very good sources claimed the athletic directors proposed the all- sports ban by a 7-2 margin (with University Athletic Director H. O. Crisler, who was non-voting chair- man, not casting a ballot) and the faculty representatives followed up with an 8-2 support of the measure. Few of those casting opinions, however, felt that the very con- troversial issue would go through. It was cast by many in order to raise discussion on whether post- season activity in other sports should be consistent with the previous ban on post-season foot- ball. Other schools will now have to get their respective votes for the tally at the spring meetings. The ticket price raise, the only other action made public by the CHANGING WORLD: jToday Archil'tecture Cri'ticized 'Decision Due On Repertory Theatre .Plan "We expect the decision of Ty- rone Guthrie, Oliver Rea, and Pe- ter Ziesler on the location of the reperatory theatre April 1," Prof. Wilfred Kaplan of the mathemat- ics department and member of the Ann Arbor theatre project steering 1 1 l l t t By SUSAN FARRELL "Architecture is the materialization of our knowledge of man and the universe," architect Abraham Beer said yesterday. "The architecture of today has failed because the world of the present has suddenly become very different from that of the past and we have not yet learned to live in it. "Man is seemingly at the pinnacle of biologic evolution, and in reflecting upon itself, life has become stationary. We are becoming more and more aware that things can no longer go the same way as in the past. Need Balance "The problem of the life of tomorrow (and our generation is already tomorrow) is how to manage the balance between population and resources. "It is not a new problem but the extent of it is new and we're not prepared for it. We can no longer deduct from the past patterns for living in the present.
