FIVE CENTS VOL. LXX, No. 130 ANN ARBOR, MICUIGAN, SUNDAY, APRIL 10, 1960 FIVE CENTS EIGHT PA I ... ... f Racial Discrimination Bill Given to Council The following ordinance was submitted Thursday night to the City Council for consideration by the special Council committee created to study the Human Re- lations Commission report of March 9; 1960,' The bill is intended "to relieve the serious problem of substandard housing in our community." The committee included ex- councilmen A. Nelson Dingle, chairman; Richard D e n n a r d, James F. Brinkerhoff, Russell J. Burns, and City Attorney Jacob F. Fahrner, Jr. At the time it presented a final report acknowledging the assist- ance of Mrs. Henry Meyer, secre- tary of the Human Relations Com- mission, and the guidance and help of the Executive Committee of that body and Councilman Henry V. Aquioto, Council Repre- sentative on the Commission. Nearly 100 Demonstrate ear Shops Demonstrators turned out in strong numbers yesterday to renew their passive picketing of The Cousins Shop, S. S. Kresge's and F. W. Woolworth's, Predictions that anti-picketing groups might cause trouble proved false, as no violence was reported. Nearly 100 people, some from the University and others from the community, held their non- violent demonstration from 1 to 5 p.m. They are seeking a "clear un- derstanding of Cousins Shop pol- icy and behavior consistent with that policy," picket coordinator John Leggett, Grad, said. Earlier this year, the store was Ar g e d With "discrimintaory treatment" of a customer by the n Arbor Human Relations Com- mission in a report to the City Council. The Commission report said the store "ignored communications with the Commission." Mrs. Jennie Cousins, store own- er, has told reporters she will make no official statements. Other stores picketed yesterday were both local members of na- tional chains accused of lunch- ou " segregation in the South. The local chapter of the Nation- T Association for the Advance- t of Colored People has receiv- ed a directive, effective yesterday, to support non-violent picketing of stores here. Local NAACP President Emma Wheeler said the chapter is ex- pected to make a statement, but is presently involved with today's mass meeting to raise funds for legal defense of arrested students in the South. The chapter, which includes nearly 275 members, has endorsed and participated in Cousins Shop petitioning. Segregation Protests Hit Four States By The Associated Press Pickets marched in front of variety stores in the South, East nd Middle West yesterday in continued demonstrations against sgregated lunch counters in the Negroes staged protests in five cities in North Carolia, the state where the sitdowns began Feb. 1, andi tAlabama. Sympathy dem- onstrations occurred in New York and Michigan. At Durham, N.C., Negroes par- aded in front of S. H. Kress, Wal- green and F. W. Woolworth Co., stores and passed out handbills urging people not to buy at them. Other demonstrations at Raleigh, New Bern and Wilmington in- volved Kress and Woolworth var- iety stores and an H. L. Green department store. In Charlotte, Negroes took seats at Kress and Woolworth lunch eounters, but were not srved. The City of Ann Arbor ordains: Section 1. That Chapter 1060 is hereby added to Title VIII of the City of Ann Arbor which said chapter shall read as follows: Chapter 100 Non-Discrimination In Housing It is hereby found that the pop- ulation of the City of Ann Arbor consists of people of every race, color, religion, ancestry and na- tional origin, many of whom are residents of this City because of the location herein of the Univer- sity of Michigan, and many of whom have been compelled to live in circumscribed and segregated areas because of discrimination in the sale, leasing' and rental of housing. It is further found that such discrimination is injurious to the public health, safety and gen- eral welfare of the City of Ann Arbor. Definitions. The following def- initions shall be applicable in the interpretation of this Chapter: (1) Multiple Housing Accomo- dation. The term multiple housing accommodation means a building or dwelling, or a number of build- ings or dwellings, in the City of Ann Arbor, comprising or contain- ing one or more housing units, owned or otherwise subject to the control of one owner. (2) Housing Unit. The term lousing unit means a single room or suite of rooms, or an apartment or a dwelling occupied or intend- ed for occupancy as separate living quarters, by an individual, by a family or by a group of in- dividuals living together. (3) Publicly Assisted Housing. The term publicly assisted hous- ing means housing the acquisition, construction, rehabilitation, re- pair or maintenance of which is, after the effective date hereof, fi- nanced in whole or in part by a loan, whether or not secured by a mortgage, the repayment of which is quaranteed or insured by the Federal Government or any agency thereof, provided that such housing shall be deemed publicly assisted only during the life of such loan and such guaranty or Insurance. Except as provided in' Sections 8:54 and 8:55 of this Chapter, it shall be unlawful for the owner, lessee, sub-lessee, or managing agent of, or other person having the right to sell, rent or lease a multiple housing accomodation or a housing unit therein, to refuse to sell, rent, lease or otherwise deny to or withhold from any per- son or group of persons such mul- tiple housing accommodation or housing unit therein, because of the race, color, religion, national origin or ancestry of such person or persons, or to discriminate Puble Meeting' Will Feature Strike Leader Charles Shockley, a senior at Virginia State College for Negroes will discuss the sit-down protests at a meeting of the local NAACP chapter at 4:00 p.m. today. Shockley wassamong the 140 students who first sat-in at the segregated public library in Petersburg. Since then he has been an organizer of sit-ins and picket protesting. He is the presi- dent of his local NAACP chapter. By bringing Shockley here, the Ann Arbor NAACP is trying to show its concern about the strug- gle for human rights manifested among Southern Negro college students. The meeting will give Ann Ar- bor citizens an opportunity to give money for the defense of students arrested in other demonstrations. The NAACP has 69 lawyers or- ganizing this legal effort. The Ann Arbor NAACP has opened the meeting to the general public. They believe that is will be in the interest of "the current fight for civil rights." Nomination Special to The Daily MOUNT PLEASANT-Roger against or segregate any person because of his race, color, religion, national origin or ancestry in the terms, conditions or privileges of the sale, rental or lease of any such multiple housing accommo- dation or housing unit therein, or in the furnishing of facilities or services in connection therewith. Except as provided in Sections 8:54 and 8:55 of this Chapter, it shall be unlawful for the owner, lessee, sub-lessee, or managing agent of, or other person having the right to sell, rent or lease pub- licly assisted housing, to refuse to sell, rent, lease or otherwire deny to or withhold from any person or group of persons such publicly assisted housing because of the. race, color, religion, national orig- in or ancestry of such person or persons, or to discriminate against or segregate any person because of his race, color, religion, national origin or ancestry in the terms, See WILL CURB, Page 5 Joint Judic To Permit Open Talks By ROBERT FARRELL Joint Judiciary Council has in- stituted a more liberal interpreta- tion of the powers of the chairman to open its hearings at the request of the student concerned, Chair- man Michael Sklar, '60, said re- cently. The chairman has always had the power to allow anyone to at- tend the meetings with the con- sent of the student being heard, Sklar said, but in the past there has been general non-use of this discretionary power. In effecting the liberalization asked for in a recent policy meet- ing of the Council, Sklar said that he would, under normal circum- stance, allow any individual hav- ing some connection with either the case or the student being heard to attend the hearing at the request of the interviewee. In the past, only th'e representa- tives of the dean's offices have been generally admitted to the hearings. These representatives are, however, not allowed to speak to the Council during the hear- ings. Sklar said that his interpreta- tion would include the admission of personal friends or others con- nected with an individual on trial and members other than the pres- ident of groups being heard. At presnet it is only the presi- dent of any group being heard who is allowed to attend the in- terviews. Such people as a student's resi- dent advisor in the University residence halls would be con- sidered specifically connected with the individual and perhaps the case and they would generally be admitted, Sklar said. The basic reason, Sklar said, for the new interpretation was that any student wanting someone present at the hearings on his case "should certainly be allowed to have them there." This announcement came as a result of a policy meeting of Joint Judic and the Faculty Subcommit- tee on Discipline held earlier this year to investigate the possibility of opening the hearings if and when students requested it. Sees Need For Collegwe Coordinator By PHILIP SHERMAN Gov. G. Mennen Williams yes- terday said the proposed coordina- tor for the state's colleges and uni- versities should be appointed either by the college presidents or him- self. He said such a coordinator was "badly needed," and that he is sorry one has not already been named. He predicts "sure success" for the coordinator in development of the state's higher education sys- tem. Legislative cuts from his "pos- sible and good" recommendations for higher education appropria- tions are unfortunate, Williams said. The universities can raise tui- tion, but this would be "most un- usual and regressive . . . the chal- lenge today is to provide university education to all who are intel- lectually and morally capable of receiving it . . no one should be denied." Approval Expected Williams expects the Univer- sity's Physics-Astronomy-Institute Bldg. will be approved by the Legislature. "Our capital outlay program is $150 million," he added. Williams said he has no agree- ments with any Democratic presi- dential candidate about a vice- presidential nomination and does not know if he will support a can- didate. In a speech at a luncheon com- memorating the fiftieth anniver- sary of the political science de- partment, Williams said, "Govern- ment has to live on ideas .,. . it must harness new ideas to meet new challenges. . . . If it does not, it is not living in a world of to- day. "Theories of deterrence of war lead to a cul de sac . . . they have only brought a temporary respite and have not made peace ... . the challenge is for new ideas for peace. Can't Compartmentalize "We cannot compartmentalize domestic and international af- fairs," he added. For needed assistance, govern- ment will have to rely on univer- sities, Williams said. It will have "to see problems in perspective to all disciplines; government will not have the overall view it needs, but the universities can provide it." He added government will rely especially on political scientists "to provide verve and elan to help us to move forward." Survives Attempt on Lif( African Prime Minister .. . . -:.. ..: .r, v ..* ,.., ..v^v.:: A ~ r r a . " , r . Ver woe d a Jim Martens, IFC President By ROBERT JUNKER City Editor The University can no longer justify sheltering groups which discriminate, Jim Martens firmly believes. "Fraternities can no longer defend the bias clause. They, must have local control of their member selection." Martens has thought about this problem from many view- points - as a fraternity man, Interfraternity Council presi- dent, Student Government Council member. He advocates local atonomy as the answer. "It has worked and will work," he declares. But this local autonomy does not mean disaffiliation from the national organization, Progress in eliminating dis- crimination must be slow; many of those who favor rapid legis- lation are "narrow-minded do- gooders." The only permanent answer will be one arrived at gradually. Jim favors a solution here in which the University will work with the fraternities, who must in turn submit a yearly progress report on what they have done to help eliminate discriminatory' clauses from their national con- stitutions. IFC is starting to help solve the problem. This year they took an official stand in favor of local autonomy and will help any house which wants aid to work for elimination of written clauses. IFC under Jim's leadership also took other stands to help the fraternity system adjust to the increasingly academic at- mosphere of the campus. Hazing, for example, has plagued the system for many years. "We took stern action on hazing and hope it will set a precedent for the future." But Jim sees the problem as besi- cally one for each individual house to solve for itself. IFC, as Jim visualizes it, is a service organization; it must serve its member fraternities. At the same time it must work to maintain the overall strength of the system. The fraternity system today is "strong, strong for a-minority fraternity system."

Students Hit Physics department chairman Prof. David M. Dennison yester- day called the proposed Univer- sity cyclotron a "unique machine of importance to the national in- terest." University Vice - President for Research Ralph A. Sawyer, Prof. Dennison and Prof. William Park- inson of the physics department appeared this week in hearings be- fore the House Subcommittee on Public Works to request passage of a bill providing for the building of the planned atom-smasher. Appropriation Considered The cyclotron is included in the Atomic Energy Commission appro- priation bill now being considered by the Subcommittee. Prof. Dennison said that the three had emphasized to the com- mittee that the practical applica- tions of nuclear power, nuclear weapons and isotopes for use in medical research are based on knowledge of the structure of the nuclei of atoms such as that which would be gained by the new cyclo- tron. For this reason, they said, there is a very real and pragmatic rea- son why this new machine would be in the national interest. Pleased With Reception "We were very much pleased with the reception we received from the Subcommittee," Prof. Dennison added. The Subcommit- tee is a part of the House Ap-. propriations Committee. Prof. Dennison explained that the proposed machine would be unique in that it would be a me- dium-energy cyclotron capable of maintaining a very closely con- Lado Leaves U Faculty The appointment of Prof. Rob- ert Lado of the University English Language Institute as academic director of the Georgetown Uni- versity Institute of Languages and Linguistics was announced yes- terday. At Georgetown Prof. Lado will be responsible for seven depart- ments. These will include continu- ation of teaching English to foreign students' and several for- eign languages. He will also be responsible for coordinating the teaching of foreign languages in the university.' His appointment is effective on June 30. trolled value of the energy of the particles it shoots out. This type of cyclotron is nece- sary to study the nuclei of heavy elements, Prof. Dennison said.' Existing machines are capable of studying the structure of lighter nuclei, but energy of up to 40 mil- lion electron volts is necessary to penetrate heavier nuclei. Made Designs The University began work on the plans for the cyclotron four years ago, spending the first two years in design studies. The first proposal was submitted to the AEC two years ago, but tl'e project had to be postpone4 be- cause the Michigan Legislature did not provide the funds for a building to house the cyclotron. A bill making provisions for housing the machine in he new Physics-Astronomy-Institute Bldg. is before the Michigan House now after having passed the Senate. Hope for Appropriation , "We have every hope that'the' Legislature will make this appro- priation within a few days," Prof. Dennison said. "We are particularly anxious to have this research facility au- thorized now because we feel the timing is right for the investiga- tions we propose," he added. G. MENNEN WILLIAMS G.. favors crdinator i aTJi Borge 1xes Beethoven, Brahms, Victors' By CHARLES KOZOLL Personnel Director Beethoven and Brahms melodies were mixed with "The Victors" by a part - time hen farmer from Conneticut last night. Before a packed Hill Aud. audi- ence, Victor Borge who owns a famous "Cornish Hen business" alternately battered, cajoled and pampered a piano with medlies which contained small parts of the famous fight song. Pausing to greet late arrivals with 'pointed comment on their tardiness, he balanced verbal comedy with sev- eral classical selections at the Borge mixed impersonations with his music. Suitably changing his voice and facial expression and adding appropriate movement to fit the role, he played the part of another famous pianist. No Approval Afterwards he told the audience that he had written Liberace to ask for his approval, but "unfort- unately has never received it." Mentioning this part as one of the "standards," Borge added that he had never had any trouble with Liberace because of the im- personation. Other parts of his stock include tive had discovered a "cure for which there was no disease." His quick personal observations often hit single members of a hysterical audience. To a sneezing woman Borge offered: "Bless your soul . . . and all of your vital organs, too." He also criticized a "laugher" who had chuckled out of turn with the crowd for "caus- ing a disturbance." Complains Of Food In another series of remarks, he added a complaint against Mich- igan Union food by claiming that "rigor mortis had set in in 'the fish he had for dinner."
