LXX, No. 139 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, APRIL 21, 1960 FIVE CENTS SIX i 1 Mendenhall Speaks' On 'Bible Values' Says Faith Based on Low Worth Of Historical, Cultural Activities By BEATRICE TEODORO "Biblical faith is based on the conviction that nothing historical or cultural can be intrinsically of supreme value-this is idolatry," Prof. George E. Mendenhall said last night. In a lecture on the "Biblical Hierarchy of Values," Prof. Menden- hall of the Near Eastern studies department said that under this definition, certain institutions are excluded from being of supreme value. For example, governing states exist for functions beyond them- selves, and when they fail, they lose the right to exist. It was this realization, Prof. Mendenhall added, that allowed prophets frequently Set To Hold FltcerHal Open House By LORA KRAPOHL Fletcher Hall, which will be changed from a women's to a men's residence next year, will hold open house between 2 and 5 p.m. on Sunday for prospective residents. Accommodations, which will be "room only," are thought by As- sistant Dean of Men Karl D. Streiff to be especially convenient for men with meal jobs or for grade who, because of academic program, cannot meet meal hours. The three-story brick building is located at 915 Sybil St., four blocks south of the central cam- pus, and has a capacity for about 75 men. The rooms are all two- room suites for three men with furniture provided by the Univer- sity. Kitchen facilities will not be available. Any single student, graduate or undergraduate, is eligible for. resi- dence and, if interested, is urged to make application with his as- sociate adviser. The rate will be $264 per year. Fletcher, which was originally a men's residence was changed about five years ago, when over- c r o w d e d conditions demanded more women's housing. Plan 1ights Conference A special meeting to plan Michi- gan's participation in the Confer- ence on Human Rights in the North will be held at 8 p.m. today in Rm. 38 of the Union, Al Haber, '60, conference coordinator, an- nounced yesterday. The Conference, sponsored by the national organization of Stu- dents for Democratic Society, will be held in Ann Arbor April 28- May 1. Approximately 400 stu- dents from more than 50 colleges will participate. Several well - known speakers will address the conference, which will also feature 10 students who participated in demonstrations in the South. "We have great anticipation that a permanent organization will come out of the conference to coordinate student action pro- grams throughout the country," Haber said, explaining the pur- pose of the conference. All students and faculty mem- bers interested in human rights are enouraged to attend the planning- meeting, he stressed. The conference, having been in the works for months in advance, will be sponsored locally by the Political Issues Club as the official hosts of the SDS at the University. aroyle Sold Out by Noon; More on Way In the aftermath of a buying rush that exhausted the first printing of yesterday's edition of "Gargoyle" Editor Dick Pollinger, '60, promised to have a new supply of the magazine's final issue by tomorrow morning. Students were buying up to five to predict the destruction of their communities. Supreme Value Even ethical systems cannot be included as having supreme value, because they are a result of a re- lationship with God, not the rela- tionship itself. "Have we broken with values?" he asked. Are there other things besides statistics from which to draw values? If the statistical interpretation, which relies on the SGC; Consider Bias Rule In Council By PHILIP SHERMAN Student Government Council last night began clearing the decks for final consideration of the Haber-Miller motion to eliminate discrimination in fraternities and sor'orities. It voted to change the name of the watchdog committee the reso- lution would set up, and to subject the committee's general procedures to Council approval. A motion to delete some of the criteria for de- termination of discrimination was defeated. The amendments were presented by IFC president, Jon Trost, '61. Further amendments will be considered next week, and final disposition is scheduled for the May 4 meeting. Watchdog Committee The watchdog committee, origi- nally called the "Committee on Discriminatory Practices in Stu- dent Organizations," is now named "Committee on Membership in Student Organizations." Trost ar- gued "the word discrimination rings a negative bell. . . ." and added the intent of the Haber- Miller is concerned with the basis of membership, not the procedures for joining an organization. He originally proposed "mem- bership practices" but the motion was altered at suggestion of SGC president John Feldkamp, '61. The second amendment specified that the procedures of the pro- posed committee be approved by SGC, in addition to' the original motion's proviso that they be made public. Also, the Council approved a suggestion by Roger Season- wein, '61, that the Council sanc- tion "standard" rather than "de- tailed" procedures. The latter is the wording of the original motion. Al Haber, '60, em- phasized the committee must vary its specific practices somewhat with different cases, so "standard" was a more appropriate word. The Council turned down bids to remove the criteria "national origin," "ancestry" and "creed" from the general statement of the motion: "No recognized student organization may 'prohibit or otherwise restrict membership or membership activities on the basis of race, color, religion, creed, na- tional origin or ancestry." Restrict Clubs Trost argued inclusion of the latter two standards would restrict nationality clubs. Haber replied that it was social clubs with no national basis rather than the for- eign students' organizations the criteria would apply to. He added special provision should be made to sanction the nationality clubs. Union President Perry Morton, '61, suggested too many special clauses might mean a new rule was needed, but Seasonwein said the Council must "tailor make" the regulation. Survel By ANITA PETROSHUS Occupation and education are important in determining public attitudes toward higher education, a Survey Research Center study reports, This second analysis of data, involving a representative cross- section of 950 persons in the state, shows just who is more aware of rising enrollments, who is less satisfied with faculty pay, and who has a more accurate concept of what college costs. They are people with more formal education, those in white- collar jobs, and those planning to send children to college. Only six per cent of the "white- collar" group (as compared to 30 per cent of the "blue - collar" group) failed to predict some size- able increase in future enrollment. Estimate Future Enrollment In these occupational groups, persons planning or providing for their children's college education are less likely to underestimate future enrollment. Do people think professors are adequately paid? More people with college training think faculty members are underpaid than those with only grade school background --42 per cent of them see no reason for salary increases. Union members are significantly more favorable toward pay in- creases than those with only grade school diplomas. Annual School Cost "An educator might reasonably expect something like half of the Michigan public to have a fairly reliable idea of what it is likely to cost a family to send a child to a large Michigan school for a year," according to the preliminary report. The second report indicates some groups know more about col- lege costs than others. Only six per cent of those with college training who plan to fi- nance a college education give serious underestimates-less than $800 a year-for schools in the state. Twenty-six per cent of those with a grade school education un- derestimate. Difference in Outlooks On the other hand, the survey concludes, "In the white - collar groups, plans to send a child to college tend to be associated with a realistic view of college costs, and in the blue-collar groups with what appears to be rather an op- timistic one." Two sets of solutions for the problems higher education faces were proposed in the survey - 1) building more colleges or expand- ing existing facilities, and 2) pri- vate versus tax support for meet- ing increasing financial needs. People thinking of sending chil- dren to college are less likely to favor simply expanding existing schools, or to advocate placing the entire burden of increasing costs on students and their families. Only ten per cent of this group felt students and their families should meet all increased costs, compared with 25 per cent of the sample as a whole. Opinions Divided The breakdown is this: 44 per cent preferred use of taxes alone to meet increased costs, 23 per cent favored depending on students and their families, and 26 per cent' would like to see a combination of the two methods. The combination was nominated as a solution more often by white collar (37 per cent) than by blue collar workers (23 per cent), and more often by those with more education than by those with less., Persons seem more willing to ex- tend tax support to an institution when it means little to them per- sonally if they are convinced of the school's functional efficiency and broader social utility. Sixty-eight per cent of those have no plans for educatin child, but who give big universi high ratings on economy, favor support. Fifty-two per cent of those say that colleges do nothing teach their own students we reject tax support and have dents and their families alone 1 any increase in cost.

GEORGE MENDENHALL ...speaks on Bible number of supporters, is true,1 then in the University, "football is one of the supreme values,' judging from the filled stadium." Discusses Bible This statistical basis for values contrasts with the Biblical con- ception of God. One of the most outstanding characteristics in the Bible is that all discussions of values are directly connected to concrete situations. This points out the fact that value Judg- ments are important and relevant to reality. The relationship between God and the natural world is also stressed in the Bible, he added. The idea that God is powerful enough to change nature is seen in the predictilon that one day "the wolf shall dwell with the lamb." Rhee Cabinet Steps Down 'En Masse' SEOUL WP)-The South Korean cabinet resigned yesterday in the face of civilian rebellion at home and a rebuke to the Rhee regime from the United States for harsh suppression of democratic rights. President Syngman Rhee, still the strong man at age 85, remain- ed in office. the opposition quickly reacted to the cabinet's departure, saying this was not convincing evidence of reform. The resignation of the 12-man cabinet came in the wake of bloody antigovernment violence that has shaken the country and brought martial law. Possible Attempt The cabinet resignation was viewed as a possible attempt to have Rhee's ministers accept blame for the harsh military measures used to suppress civilian demonstrations protesting the con- duct of the March elections. Unless accompanied by a firm promise of reforms, the cabinet resignation was not expected to appease Koreans who turned out by thousands Tuesday to demon- strate against the government and demand new elections. Police gunfire then cut down nearly 1,000 persons. Not 'Basic Factor' Vice President John Chang, a member of the Democratic Party in opposition to Rhee's Liberal Party, was quick to declare the cabinet resignation "cannot be a basic factor in dealing with the turbulent situation. Only a fair election can be." The demonstrations against the government were set off by charges that the March 15 elec- tion of the unopposed Rhee and his contested candidate for vice president, Lee Ki - Poon, was fraudulent. Chang, speaking at a hastily called news conference, rejected any suggestion of a coalition cab- inet and urged that the National To Further hivestigatio -David Giltrow PICKETERS-Two University students face further action as a result of their arrest Saturday for violating a city ordinance against littering the streets. Thirteen other students were released. HOUSING ORDINANCE: Commission A ttacks Discrimination Two Pickets Still Subjeel Bingley Speaks to SGC On Extension for SAI By RUTH EVENHUIS The City Human Relations Com- mission has agreed to take the lead in arousing citizen interest for the enactment of an anti- discrimination housing ordinance. The commission assigned its ex- ecutive committee to implement a recommendation submitted by Vice-President for Student Affairs James A. Lewis, a commission member. It called for "the as- sumption of leadership in edu- cating the community to the need for a local ordinance in housing, and enlisting citizen support for the ordinance." Anti-discrimination legislation was presented to the City Council April 7 by a special council com- mittee, as the result of a March, 1959, study which recommended such legislation. Latest Report The latest report of the com- mission's housing committee sub-' mitted by Lewis, its chairman, pinpointed discrimination prob- lems still existing in Ann Arbor. Citing specific cases, the report showed that one of the chief prob- lems is that home owners report' realtors refuse to list homes on a basis of open occupancy. "Realtors argue that they have to sell by the specification of the seller, and that each person should be able to dispose of his property as he sees fit. However, they do not want to follow this when a request is made to sell on an open occupancy basis." Make Report The report pointed out that in one neighborhood after a house had been shown to a Negro couple, nearby residents were called to- gether and encouraged by realtors to put up enough money to "buy out" the seller. When this action failed, the house was quickly sold with no Construction on the addition to the Student Activities Building Assem: will begin around August 1, Assistant Dean of Men John V. Bingley ately. told SGC last night. Hisv The addition will be financed by student fees. Bingley termed widespr this "perfectly justifiable" since the new structure will service students ficient by placing in the same building the offices of people primarily con-f aroused cerned with student life on cam- pus-.A The expansion was planned five JA.PANESE GENERAL: years ago when the present Stu- dent Activities Building was pro- jected. At that time a student referendum was held which ap- proved the plans. Bingley pointed out that a student vote on such issues is unusual. No Provision There will be no provision made in the construction of the addi- tion for expanding upward, but Bingley said that he expects the facilities to be adequate for the next several years. Discussing the priority of new building construction, Bingleyj stressed that "a good deal of care-'- ful thinking has gone into the planning of this campus in thej past twenty-five years." Construc- tion is not "sporadic, haphazard or whimsical."

Bishop Speaks on Tojo consideration given to the Negro couple. In another case, two University graduate students arranged to sublet an apartment. The land- lord had agreed to a sublet after refusing to release the original tenants from their lease. Breaks Agreement But when he discovered the sublet tenants were Negroes, he broke off the sublet agreement and took up the lease. "The two young men were immediately without housing for no other reason than color," the report stated. The report noted the program established in cooperation with the Council of Churches to assist those unable to buy, rent or sell proper housing through the nor- mal channels. It recognized the commission's work toward implementing the announced policy of the Regents relating to discrimination in off- campus housing. The housing committee found "members of minority groups have had assistance in finding housing to suit their needs in all sections of Ann Arbor and have been ac- cepted in their neighborhoods as any other people woud have been." Plan Address At Convocation Prof. Howard Hanson, director of the Eastern School of Music, will address the University's 37th annual Honors Convocation at 11 a.m. May 13 in Hill Auditorium. His speech, entitled "The Cre- ative Arts of the Space Age," will be delivered before undergradu- ates who have received a 3.5 aver- age or above during the last two semesters. Freshmen will be hon- ored on the basis of first semester grades. Identification Of Students Not Learned Authorities Say Pair May Have Dropped Leaflets on Sidewalk By PETER STUART Two University students appre- hended by police here Saturday with 13 others distributing anti- discrimination leaflets, face fur- ther investigation on the charge of violating a city littering ordin- ance, Assistant City Attorney Samuel J. Elden said last night. The names of the two students were not available. Meanwhile, the remaining 13 demonstrators have been definitely released from fur- ther investigation. Study by city police following a meeting with the demonstrators Tuesday showed "the two students had been observed by detectives to have in fact littered leaflets on the ground, whereas the others had handed them to a third per- son," Elden explained. Report On Charge Attorneys for the demonstrators Harold Norris of the Detroit chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union and David E. Utley of Pontiac, had earlier informed him no demonstrators had been seen littering, he said. But later detectives Lt. Ceorge Stauch and Sgt. Duane' Bauer showed this was not the case. Before a decision is reached on whether or not the littering ordi- nance was violated, the police must complete their investigation and Elden must wind up his legal research on the matter. Final Action "I hope any final action will come by the end of the week," Elden said. "At that time, if a violation of the ordinance is found the subjects will be so advised; if none is found, the proceedings will be dismissed." The 14 students and one Uni- versity employee were apprehend- ed while demonstrating at the Cousins Shop and Ann Arbor branches of the S. S. Kresge Co. and the F. W. Woolworth Co., whose Southern branches alleg- edly practice segregation. John Leggett, Grad., spokes- man for the demonstrators, said that as far as he knew, none of the 15 picketers previously under investigation had been notified by police that they were those still under investigation. Police Plan Elden said police plan to observe any picketing on future weekends to be certain no city or state laws are violated. He said that providing the leaf- By MARSHA FRANKEL "General Tojo, Prime Minister when Japan declared war, is considered one of the three great war lords of World War II, Buddhist Bishop Shinsho Hanayama, onetime chaplain at Sugamo prison, Japan, commented. General Tojo was brought to Sugamo to stand trial before an Allied tribunal. Most of the Japanese people hated Tojo because he had declared war and because the Japanese people had been defeated. However, Bishop Hanayama points out that this is a great misunder- standing, as he could not declare war himself and "All of the Japan- ese people are responsible for it." At the end of two years of trials, General Tojo was among seven sentenced to die by hanging. Usually Serious As Bishop Hanayama remembers him, Tojo was usually serious and almost always took a seat in the front of his chapel. . .- -- _ . _m. t.. .. Y... ---- 4, V. . 4- tha "n..,af.n Mr I s
