Low Vote Alarms C ounci Leade Feldkamp Sees Freedom at Stake; Aims To Equate Ideals, Practicality By JEAN SPENCER "The low vote was a signal-it would be disastrous to ignore it," SOC president John Feldkamp, '61, said yesterday in a Fifth Anni- versary Address to the Council. "Democracy, freedom, student rights are at stake," he said. "Our ideals are great. We must strive to meet these ideals and yet we must come down to earth and be practical also." Feldkamp spoke of the need for SGC to be a unified voice, urging members to uphold the decisions of the body publicly and privately. Weaknesses One of the Council's weaknesses, he said, is a lack of responsibility inspeciii areas. When 8Ca was formed, it was a Council policy that 4'elected members not serving as n-4-1' 1 "t ffi e hP'ri,. d srCrm itt-I Seek By JIM BENAUGH Sports Editor Michigan's athletic bosses have launched initial steps in an effort to halt outside schools from raid- ing the Big Ten of high school prospects who accept its athletic tenders. The desire to work out such a plan on a national basis was an- nounced to The University Re- gents yesterday in the annual re- port of the Board in Control of Intercollegiate Athletics. The Board, in its report, said it desired that recognition of Big Ten contracts with the athletes be gained from major conferences throughout the nation. Alter Conferences "The conferences would (then) respect the demonstrated inten- tions of students who have ac- cepted awards at particular in- stitutions," was the possibility ex- pressed hopefully in the report. It was signed by Athletic Director H. O. Crisler, the Board's chair- man, and Big Ten Faculty Repre- secretary. sentative Marcus Plant. Board The report said that raiding of Big Ten Schools has reached as high as 100 athletes in one year in recent years. .Since "po argument would seem necessary to demonstrate the im- propriety of the practice (of raid- ing) on moral or e d u c a t i o n grounds," the financial aid pro- gram as a competitive device was brought into question. However, the Board said it ap- peared that the solution does not lie in eliminating the need factor from the Big Ten, but rather in arranging an agreement to block raiding after a prospective athlete signs. Explore Possibilities The possibility of working out the agreement with other confer- ences, the report continued, should be "fully explored before any radical change is made in the (athletic scholarships) plan." The Board's suggestion was ac- cepted by the Regents as part of their complete approval of the 33-page report. The Board also showed that during last year, the present aid program provided assistance for sports. Fifty-four of those assist- Magazine New campus architecture across the country will be fea- tured in story and pictures in tomorrow's Daily Magazine.

WANT BARBOUR: "The significances of these fig- ures is that they reflect the policy of the Board of making financial assistance available to student participants in all sports, the report stated. "Unlike some other Little Women Charge 'U' Prohibits Transfer Women at Little house have said recently that the Dean of Wom- en's office has been discriminating against them in favor of incoming freshmen. Elements of Little, an upperclass house in the Mary Markley complex, have charged they are not being allowed to move to Betsy Barbour. They said that last year both Little and Barbour voted in favor of having Barbour changed to an upperclass house, but nothing has been done to implement this. A woman in Little says that although incoming freshmen have not been notified in which dormitories they will live, the Little pro- posed change is still not allowed. "It seems that the only needed Ban t Y SGC Letters rotest Ban On Pikets MONTGOMERY, ALA. -)- group of students at the Univer sity of Michigan is protesting th use of law enforcement officers t break up Negro anti-segregatio demonstrations in Montgomery. John Feldkamp, President o the Student Government Counci made public a letter today to Gov John Patterson endorsing "stu dents and others demonstratin for equal rights in your state." There was no immediate com ment from the Governor. Feldkamp, who said he spok for the Council, said "picketin and sit-in strikes represent legiti mate forms of protest against suc: discrimination, places of busines or elsewhere." Interference Objectionable He said it is objectionable whe police "interfere with this right o protest" or refuse to protect dem onstrators from "assault by thos holding different views." And, the letter added, "whe $ any action or lack thereof by cit3 or state officials deprives student of their right to an education, V is doubly objectionable." City, state and county off icer, have broken up recent Negro den- onstrations and, on one occasior drove off an angry white crow which threatened the Negroes. Nine of the students at Alabama State College who took part in demand for service at the white lunchroom in the Montgomers courthouse were expelled frorr school on orders from the stat Board of Edducation. Relate Process (SGC voted Mar. 9 to send let- ters to the governors of eight Southern states, including Ala- bama, as well as to the central of- fices of W. T. Grant, S. S. Kresge, S. H. Kress and F.

He asserted that dropping the former policy hasn't improved the ad- ministrative wing, hasn't stimu- lated members' sense of responsi- bility, and has led to a breakdown of communication between the A Council and the administrative wing committees. - A return to the practice of mak- e ing members committee heads o would give them the advantage of n leadership training, he said. Follow Through Another difficulty has been found in carrying through projects a, once they have been introduced v. to the Council, Feldkamp said. The - areas of intercollegiate athletics, g physical education requirements, affidavit provisions of the NDEA loan plan and academic freedom - were brought to the Council and not followed through, he said. ce "We must balance our objec- g tives to meet the role of the chang- - ing student," he asserted, citing h the election rules as "idealized and s ineffective." , He cited the "unique role" of SGC as a University organization 'in that the Committee on Referral n exists as a "stipulation" on the - veto power of the Vice-President - for Student Affairs. 5e SOC must put aside considera- tions of its past glory, and of its nn position among student govern- y ments on other campuses, he con- t cluded, in order to look at itself it Icritically. To Protest Walsh Trial, Hertier Says WASHINGTON (W) - Secretary of State Christian A. Herter last, night issued orders for "the strongest possible protest" to Red China against the prison sentence imposed on Bishop James E. Walsh. The protest will be filed by Am- bassador Jacob D. Beam at War- saw, Poland, who has periodic meetings with the Red Chinese ambassador there. A Chinese Communist court in Shanghai has sentenced the 68- year-old Bishop to 20 years im- prisonment on a charge of espion- age. Sen. J. Glenn Beall (R-Md.) told the Senate they were '"trumped-up charges." Herter, in a statement deplor- ing the action, branded as totally false Peiping's charges that Walsh had served as an American spy. "I find it difficult," Herter said, "to emphasize sufficiently the revulsion that I, personally, and the United States government feel today. I am instructing our am- bassador at Warsaw to lodge the strongest possible protest with the representative of the Chinese Communist regime at their next meeting Tuesday. The United States does not recognize the Communist regime in China and has no diplomatic representation there. However for several years Beam and the Chinese Communist am- bassador in Warsaw, Wang Ping- Nan, have maintained formal con- tact. One of Beam's purposes has been to try to persuade the Chi- nese Reds to let the few Americans remaining in prison in Mainland China return home. 'action would be to write the in- volved incoming girls and notify them that the status of Barbour has been changed," she said. Move Administratively Impossible One woman claims that the only reason the Dean's office has been able to give is that it is ad- ministratively impossible for them to move to Barbour as a unit. Names Choices She says that the only choices they have been given are either to remain in Markley or to move to Victor Vaughan. Both choices have drawbacks, she said. At Little there are continual conflicts between the upperclass women and the 800 freshmen that form the rest of the dorm. Our different hours antagonize the freshmen, she claimed. Some women say what they really want is an independent unit where they will not be both- ered by the antics of the fresh- men. Vaughan is unacceptable, one woman said. In listing reasons. she said it is too far from campus and is in a bad neighborhood. Juniors Desire Priority The juniors in Little say since they have been on campus longer they should receive priority over incoming freshmen as on other campuses. Dean of Women Deborah Bacon said that the policy at Michigan since 1915 has been to give top priority to incoming freshmen. This is done, she said, because the University believes i n c o m i n g freshmen have the largest adjust- ment to make, and so should have the most ideal conditions. The adjustment of the fresh- man must remain a major con- cern, she added. Because of their commitment to the incoming freshman neither Barbour or Helen Newberry can be opened to upper-class housing in the fall. The University promised them that if they got their appli- cations in early they could get their first or second choices and this will be honored. institutions we are not concen- trating the aid program on foot- ball or basketball to the depriva- tion of the lesser p u bli ci z e d sports." The Board said the fact that football received more tenders than other sports was not incon-I sistent with its philosophy of a rounded program. "We have never used all of the 100 possible tenders in any of the years of the existence of the plan," the report explained. "No sport has been limited in this respect for the benefit of any other. All sports have had excess tenders available and unused." Salaries, Wages Higher All in all, the aid fund ac- counted for $160,141.09 of last year'sddisbursements. The only other higher figure of the million dollar - plus disbursement ledger was "salaries and wages" which accounted for almost half. The athletic department lost money during the year, as the net operating income fell below "hopes and expectations," because of low- ered football income in the fall of 1958. However, football again was the only sport to show a profit. Re- ceipts totaled over $700,000. More than $600,000 profit was netted after expenses for the sport were subtracted. Hockey was the only sport to come close to the black side of the ledger. Over $13,000 was profited compared to nearly $17,000 in ex- penditures. Picket Lines 'To Continue A group of 25 to 30 students will picket the Cousins Shop and the local Woolworth's Store this afternoon. They will meet at 341 E. Liberty at noon and begin picketing about 1 p.m. The Cousins Shop was men- tioned in a report to the City Council from the Human Rela- tions Committee last week as hav- ing refused to serve a Negro woman shopper. The F. W. Woolworth Co. said recently it would maintain lunch counter segregation in the South or close their southern outlets. A spokesman for the picketers said they would continue to dem- onstrate throughout the week un- til or unless the stores show signs of changing their policies. The picketing is an indication of student unity on the issue, as well as cooperation with the com- munity. The Cousins and Woolworth stores were picketed for several hours last Saturday afternoon, after the council had received the Human Relations Commission's letter. At that time the signs the dem- onstrators carried explained that the boycott is intended to be men- tal, rather than economic. Letter Claims Lack Of Research Mone University President Cites Deman4 For More Funds in Graduate Schoc By THOMAS KABAKER University President Harlan Hatcher painted a dar picture of the state of the University in a letter to Gov. ( Mennen Williams. In his letter President Hatcher said the Senate apprc priations bill "does not meet even minimum essential neec of the University." He presented statistics showing that th University gives 70 per cent of all graduate-professional de grees in the state. "The importance of this advanced training and r search to the progress and welfare of the state and natio has never been clearer than in the, present age of rapidl expanding knowledge in scientific and other fields. "By a national standards, this kind of education is not only mor expnsie, ut isois o expensive, but also is more susceptible to recruitment' pressures resulting from a shortage of qualified person- nel," the President wrote. The University has been forced in the past two years to "curtail operations in all areas except faculty salaries, and these have not kept up with trends else- where," President Hatcher's letter added. The letter showed that compar- ing 1957-58 with the present aca- demic year, there were 1,000 more students and 58 fewer faculty members. The President's letter also maintains that library pur- chases have also fallen seriously behind. Funds Disappear "Funds for general faculty re- search have disappeared from the state - supported budget. It has been necessary to limit enroll- ments. Some key faculty already have been lost, and many others have attractive opportuniites else- where." In his letter, President Hatcher noted that, "while we are grateful for the support which the Univer- sity has received over the years, the present moment in history does not permit a dissipation of one of the state's greatest assets." President Hatcher pointed out that a "head count" of students was not correct for comparing or justifying appropriations. Due to the University's extensive activi- ties in graduate and 1professional work, its per capita cost of train- ing students is higher than at some other institutions. Objects to Appropriation Wayne State University Presi- dent Clarence B. Hilberry has charged that WSU was not getting its fair share of the state's appro- priation for higher education. He based his protest on the per capita rate allowed Wayne State. He said the total amount allotted all three schools amounted to $1,060 per student, but that Wayne State's share was only $725 for each student. With regard to the Senate's Capital Outlay proposal President Hatcher noted that the Institute- Physics-Astronomy Bldg. was a. greatly needed facility. He pointed out, however, that the UniversityI has responsibilities over a broad area to which it is committed. Legislature Committed The Legislature has been com- mitted for ten years to appropriate funds for the second unit of the Medical Science Building. There was also an authorization made for the school of music and the second unit of the fluids engi- neering laboratory, President Hat-' cher said. The President said he hoped to make a presentation of the Uni- versity's situation to the House when it reconvenes the beginning of next week. Idirectories Seek Editors ' Regents Add New Division To Institute The Regents yesterday approved the reorganization of the Uni- versity's Great Lakes Research In- stitute as a division of the Insti- tute of Science and Technology. Prof. David C. Chandler of the zoology department, chairman of the GLRI Council, will become divisional director of the Great Lakes Research Division of the Institute. Under the new arrangement, the Institute will assume responsibility, including financial support, of the Great Lakes Research division. The reorganization is designed to simplify, coordinate and facili- tate the administration of both institutes as well as to permit the support and expansion of researcb and related activities in the area, The research division will pro- mote and coordinate research oi the Great Lakes and their tribu- tary waters. The Regents also announced yesterday the appointment of Prof4 Peter J. W. Debye, a Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, to the post of a senior research scientist at the Institute of Science and Tech- nology. Prof. Debye; who received the Nobel Prize in 1936, is a retired mber Pofthe faculty of Cornell University. He will conduct lec- tures, seminars and discussioni with the faculty of the chemistry department on the shape of mole- cules and factors dealing with thi problem. Prof. Debye will also be avail- able for consultation with faculty members interested in -spectro- scopy, electron diffraction, X-ray diffraction and theoretical chem- istry. MSU-0 Cuts Frosh Class Of Next Fall Michigan State Universty'ns branch at Oakland will cut the enrollment of its freshman class for next fall in half due to legis- lative budget cuts, Durward B. Verner, chancellor of MSU-d' re- ported. Instead of a planned 700 to 800 students, only between 350 and 400 can be enrolled, Varner said yesterday. MSU Provost Paul A. Miller said the parent school will have to work with what is available. He said it would mean fewer instructors, poorer equipment and curtailed classes. John A. Hannah, president of Michigan State, related that MSU will press for restoration of some of the money cut by the Senate by appealing to the House. Michigan's Gov. G.
