The decision of the faculty subcommittee, in addi- tion to the Joint Judiciary Council recommendation and the vigorous opinions of Dean Rea and Vice President Lewis, virtually assures that the suspensions will be effected. We still refuse to concur. We believe the students have received an unjust penalty, one which is more severe than deserved. We still believe the overriding factor in the decision was the desire to squelch rioting once and for all. This is not a valid reason for suspending two individuals. We also believe the administration acted inappropriately and indefensibly, despite their circuitous arguments to the contrary. Further, we seriously wonder about the workings of the University, which at base should be a number of individuals jointly going through an educational process. Last Wednesday, two such individuals impulsively intensi- fied a demonstration which cannot be wholly condoned. But their actions and their motives surely were not so unusually bad as to erase their privilege to be members of this community and participants in its educational process. As individuals they have been mistreated: by the admin- istration, the Judic, and even in a way by the subcommittee, which, as an appellate body, never interviewed the students personally. (This sheds curious light on the subcommittee an- nouncement that "all circumstances have been reviewed.") Probably the fairest consideration of the case to date came from Student Government Council Wednesday night. Present at the SGC executive session were Hall, Lubin, and Judic chair- man Michael Sklar. SGC's deliberation was more compre- hensive than the Thursday Judic hearing in terms of time spent (five hours of discussion), and people and opinions rep- resented. The SGC believed the suspensions were too severe and the students improperly treated. : . a TE CASE of Hall and Lubin has also raised questions about the Joint Judic and the whole residence hall system, The Judic, constitutionally, represents an enormous grant of responsibility from the administration to the student body. However, in practice it has not worked out happily. The need here is twofold: first, a thorough, critical examination of its workings, and second, an upsurge of interest in Judic on the part of responsible, high-quality students. The residence hall system, as constructed, nicely creates conditions from which riots emerge. The needs here are more than twofold: The University must constructively re-evaluate everything. * * s But in a case of this sort, the job of convincing people be- comes gradually impossible. For example, too much depends on understanding the myriad of details which collectively amount to administrative abuse. As time passes, such details will become more difficult to argue. In a few weeks, they may not be discussible. In a few years, they may not be remembered. If this be the way the University rolls on, we are sorry. Before it goes any further, we think the entire affair should be further reconsidered in a fair, just and comprehensive way. -THE ACTING SENIOR EDITORS Leaders, Disagree Oan Issues By The Associated Pres At the state Democratic con- vention in Grand Rapids yester- day, the three Democratic candi- dates to succeed Governor G. Men- nen Williams split on the issues of a constitutional convention and a state sales tax. The delegates to the convention also drafted a proposal recom- mending that Communist China be brought into the disarmament talks. The 1,605 delegates heard the following statements from the three candidates for the Demo- cratic nomination for Governor. Lt. Governor John B. Swainson said he opposes both the consti- tutional convention and a sales tax increase. Not Answer Secretary of State James M. Hare came out for a constitutional convention and said the sales tax increase was not the answer to the state's money problems. However he advised the delegates to wait until the party takes a stand, be- fore deciding on whether to vote on the proposed increase. Detroit Councilman Edward Conner opposed a constitutional convention and said the proposed sales tax should be left up to the voters. The sales tax proposal, backed by the Republicans, aims to raise the sales tax a penny to four cents on the dollar and will appear by legislative resolution on the November ballot. Red China Policy The policy on Red China drafted by the delegates says, "At the earliest possible date, mainland China must be included in our negotiations, as a requisite to a comprehensive disarmament agree- ment. The statement also asks for an immediate ban on detectable atomic tests and for the eventual establishment of an international police force to maintain disarma- ment. In the national area the dele- gates urged the President and Congress to use the full extent of their powers to bring about the enforcement of civil rights. Enjoin Violators They further proposed power be given to the Attorney General to enJoin violators. Key ideas put forth by the Michigan Democrats have already been adopted by the 13 state Dem- ocratic Midwest Conference as its platform recommendations. The Michigan delegation will cast 51 votes at the National Dem- ocratic Convention in Los Angeles. This is the seventh largest bloc of any state. For this reason Sena- tors Kennedy, Symington and Humphrey and Adla E. Stevenson all were represented at the con- vention. The convention, however, is ex- pected to go on record backing Governor Williams as a favorite- son Presidential choice.,; .11 STASON TO RETIRE: Dean Answers Legal Queries (EDITOR'S NOTE: E. Blythe Sta-4 son, who will leave the University in June after 21 years as dean of the Law School, answers the fol- lowing questions prepared by a. senior in the Law School.) By FRED STEINGOLD Q. Dean Stason, What skills and qualities must our lawyers have today in order to fulfill their pro- fessional responsibilities? A. I often put it this way-a lawyer needs about five principle qualities. First of all, he needs a knowledge of the "corpus jurs." Second, he needs the ability to reason deductively, analytically and analogically. Third, he needs imagination; he needs the ability to chart out new path-ways. Fourth, in order to be successful, he must be able to inspire confi- dence in others Fifth, he needs integrity. And I suppose there's a sixth: he needs to be articulate- both orally and in writing. Q. Does the general public have a realistic appreciation of the function of the legal profession? A. No! Q. Would you care to expand on that? A. The image of the profession possessed by the average layman is an immage created by the press which finds news in the sensa- tional, the unusual and, often, the objectionable type of legal services. The public never reads about the great bulk of professional activi- ties in the law. The faulty image can be charged to the press. Q. As Dean of the Law School, you instruct law students in the ethics of the legal profession. One claims U.S. Aids Dictator ANKARA, Turkey (A) -Ismet Inonu,, leader of the political op- position to Premier Adnan Men- deres, charged yesterday the government is using American aid funds to stay in power. Accusing Menderes of running an "oppressive regime," the 75-1 year-old former president in ef- fect appealed to the United States government to withhold aid funds until the Premier ends the tight restrictionston the press and poli- tical opposition. Such action from Washington is considered unlikely. The United States has refrained from com- menting on recent student demon- strations against Menderes and es- pecially avoided comment on Men- deres' tough political tactics. Aid to Turkey United States aid to Turkey since World War II totals more than two billion dollars. Inonu, who was Kemal Ataturk's lieutenant in founding the modern Turkish republic 40 years ago, spoke with government permission at a news conference in the head- quarters of his Republican party. Inonu said Turkey needs and deserves American economic help but it should support the nation] and not any political party. aspect of ethics which puzzles many laymen is how a lawyer can defend a person obviously guilty of a crime. How can a lawyer in- voke legal technicalities in behalf of a criminal and still have a clear conscience? A. Under our system of advoc- acy, a lawyer is obliged by his profession to see to it that every- one who needs professional ser- vice gets it. A lawyer must, of course, refrain from, presenting unthruths to the court and from distorting the truth. But every defendant is entitled to skilled legal services-at least to insure that the penalties im- posed will not be excessive and that the defendant is given every opportunity to present his de- fenses. Q. It has been said in recent years that the rule of law on an international level is the only al- ternative to the destruction of civilization as we know it. How do you feel about this? A. I think this is a very worthy ideal but that it's extremely dif- ficult to consummate. If the rule of law could replace rule by forces this would be excellent. However, in disputes between nations, questions are so frequent- ly political rather than legal in nature that it is difficult to see how such questions can be liti- gated. Instead, we will have to rely on the processes of negotia- tion. It is to be hoped that by in- creased acceptance of the rule of law for litigious questions and of across-the-table negotiations for political questions, the rule of force con be minimized if not eliminated. Q. A good deal of your legal career has been devoted to a study of administrative tribunals such as the Federal Communications Commission and the Atomic En- ergy Commission. Have these reg- ulatory agencies lived up to the A. Yes. I think so as a general rule. The agencies were created for the most part to bring expert technical understanding to bear on regulatory questions. This the agencies have done. On the other hand, there are many people who expected the administrative poces to be more expeditious than the judicial pro- cess. This has proved to be a dis- appointment. Q. Our present Supreme Court is often criticized for making new law rather than sticking to its job of interpreting the existing Constitution and statutes. Is such criticism valid? A. In my judgment, it is not. Naturally, in the process of in- terpreting the Constitution, it is necessary to take account of changed conditions and apply the Constitutional standards to them. This may seem to some people to be judicial legislation but I don't look at it that way. Q. Further along this line, has our Supreme Court gone too far in valuing personal rights over property rights as some observers; maintain? A. I don't feel that personal rights have been overvalued but' I've sometimes felt that property rights have been undervalued in the decisions of the last genera- tion. Q. During your years as a pro-] fessor and Dean of the Law School have you noticed any significant changes in the student body? A. I've noticed several differ- ences. I think that the student body of today has a far wider range of interests than the stu- dent body had when I was a law] student. On the other hand, I feel that the present day students are less diligent with respect to the tasks of the Law School than we were 30 or 40 years ago. I've also sensed a dimunition of competence in the handling of the English language-particularly in written form. I'd like to add, how- ever, that I'm sure the present students will make excellent law- yers as have those in bygone years.S Q. Are law students subject toE the apathy and indifference which are often said to characterize the college student of today? A. No, I don't feel they're apa- thetic and indifferent. They are a highly selected group, and I find them very keen and know-< ledgeable, using their intellectualj capabilities in a vigorous way. I would, however, like to see them direct more of their energies to- ward "corpus juris" and stop try- ing to get a legal education outr of canned briefs and canned out-E lines.- Q. What are your plans after you retire as Dean?t A. I'm going to become Admin- istrator of the American BarY Foundation in Chicago at ther American Bar Center. The Ameri-t can Bar Foundation is the re- search arm of the American Bar Association and is a very chal-x lenging opportunity. Group Justifies Suspension Rule Faculty Subcommittee on Discipline Unanimously Affirms Joint Judic By THOMAS HAYDEN The appeals of freshmen Mark Hall and Stanley Lubin were rejected yesterday by the faculty subcommittee on dis cipline, which unanimously affirmed the suspensions rec- commended last week by Joint Judiciary Council. In announcing its decision, the three-member faculty group listed four considerations as particularly significant: 1) Demonstrations like the one on April 27 are detri- mental to the University's best interest and reputation. 2) All students have been made aware that leadership in such affairs would be dealt with severly by the University. task we expected of them they were created? when Symington Tells Democrats U.S. Lacking in Leadership ABINGDON, Va.

A..n Ann , .A . +..*,.3 .v nn 'U' Official 'Seeks Post Prof. John W. Lederle of the University political science depart- ment and director of the Institute of Public Administration, is re- portedly still in contention for the presidency of Western Michigan University. State Controller James W. Miller and Prof. Russel Seibert, Western Michigan's vice-president for aca- demic affairs, have also been pin- pointed as prime possibilities for consideration in Wednesday's in- terviews by the State Board of Education. A possible fourth candidate is Dr. Lynn Bartlett, superintendent of public instruction, as tecent reports implying that he was no longer being considered for the post have since been discredited. 3) Hall and Lubin were warned of such disciplinary action several times during Wednesday's demon- stration. 4) Hall and Lubin were "crude and vulgar and beyond all bounds of propriety" in the early stages of the incident. Suspension For Semester The penalty approved by the subcommittee calls for disciplin- ary probation for the students until June, then suspension from the University through January, 1961. After learning of the subcom- mittee action, Hall and Lubin said they were sorry they could not have been interviewed by any members of the group (which as an appellate body, does not "re- hear" entire cases). The freshmen plan further ap- peals but said they were unsure of the next immediate step. Little precedent exists for ap- peals beyond the faculty subcom- mittee. It derives its functions from the University Senate com- mittee on student conduct, which reportedly last met in 1947. Appeals Uncertain Appeals could apparently be made to that committee, or pos- sibly to the Office of the Presi- dent. The students are charged with having incited and led last Wednesday's demonstration. The across - campus march was gen- erated from a dispute over dinner regulations in East Quadrangle. They were brought before the Judie the following night for im- mediate consideration, and were found guilty of conduct unbecom. ing a student because they "insti- gated and actively led" a demon- stration "disgraceful and detri- mental" to the University. Protest Increases Student protest has mounted daily following the Judic decision, with The Daily, Student Govern- ment Council and West Quadran- gle Council calling for reconsidera- tion. Inter - Quadrangle Council rejected a similar recommenda- tion. Petitions for reconsideration, now including more than 1,000 names, are still being filed with the Office of the Dean of Men. Prof. John Reed of the Law School, chairman of the subcom- mittee which includes Prof. Axel Marine of the mechanical en- gineering department, and Prof. Joseph Kallenbach of the political science department, approved the original Judic decision last Friday, with Prof. Kallenbach absent. Appeals Sent Tuesday They received the appeals of the two students on Tuesday. Prof. Reed, who dispatched no- tices of the subcommittee action to the students yesterday, made an explanatory announcement to the press, which reads in part: "The subcommittee on discipline has considered with care the ap- peals of the two students charged with inciting and leading a demon- stration on campus on Wednesday evening, Apr. 27... . Understands Severity "The subcommittee fully realizes the severity of the penalties. How- ever, after review of all the cir- cumstances, the subcommittee, by a unanimous vote, feels impelled to affirm the penalties originally recommended by the Joint Judici- ary Council, particularly in view of +. n ,mi ~nnniriar+i . v EUGENE ORMANDY ...instructs young musicians Musicianship Spelled Out By Ormandy By BEATRICE TEODORO "The young musician must not only have an instrumental educa- tion, but a complete musical edu- cation," a man who has con- ducted symphony orchestras for over thirty years said yesterday. Eugene Ormandy, conductor of the Philadelphia Orchestra, be- lieves that budding musicians should have a "first class, well rounded musical education," to take advantage of the increased musical opportunities. "The future of the American artists, whether he is interested in solo or orchestral music, is greater than ever," he maintained. "More symphony orchestras are being born in this country than ever before, offering many opportunities to the young musician." Give Musician Chance The international music festi- vals are also great aids, because they give the musician a chance to match himself against his for- eign counterparts, Ormandy added. "It is a wonderful experience to face competition," he said. It is then that the musician can see how good he really is, which may serve as encouragement for a concert career. Ormandy cited the case of Ivan Davis, a Texas pianist, who won the International Liszt Festival recently. Davis will appear as guest guest soloist with Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra on ni Discusses India-China Border Dispute main differences lying in emphasis and execution. "What is the difference between the American parties?" Mr. Kripa- lani jested. In clarifying the position of In- dian socialism he emphasized that it is the country's most anti-Com- munist party.
