SGC ACTION: Students ppointed nor 'U' avisory unt By ROSE SUE BERSTEIN Student Government Council last night appointed six students for the Commission on Resource Allocation, a new body which is to study and advise University administrators on budget priority setting procedures. Although President Robben Fleming had asked that SGC propose six student members from whom he could choose four, SGC Vice President Jerry De Grieck explained, "We feel that we must have adequate representation of women, blacks, and students from the various schools and colleges, but by appointing only four students, this could not be accom- plished. SG" should name the students, not President -Fleming." Of the six students named last night, three are to be ----- * regular mehibers and three al- ternate members of the com- P'anei talk mission. De Grieck empha- sized he is working with the Approximately 150 students in the social work school yes-5 terday forced an unscheduled meeting with the school's top administrators and presented' proposals calling for wide- spread changes in the school's curriculum and decision-mak- ing policies. One proposal called for the es- tablishment of a tenure commit- tee in which students would sit in parity with the faculty. Accord- ing to the proposal, the committee would determine the hiring, firing and promotion of faculty and would replace the present faculty-' search committee.- Concerned Students for Cur- riculum Change (CSCC), organ- ized Monday night at a meeting of about 60 social work students andswelling to over 200 at a meet- ing yesterday, presented a list of four proposals to Robert Vinter, acting dean of the social work school, and assistant Dean Phillip Fellin. The students walked into the dean's office unannounced, And it was eventually decided to hold a meeting in an auditorium across' the hall. The other proposals call for a substantial number of new course. offerings for the winter term, open enrollment in classes within the school by social work students and the initiation of a joint stu- dent-faculty committee to deal with curriculum reform, as well as the proposed tenure committee. Vinter said last night that un- der the regental bylaws he has no! power to effect changes in the: curriculum. He added, however, he would present the proposals to the faculty governing body for con- sideration. Curriculum issues come under the jurisdiction of the entire fac- ulty of the school. Earlier in the day, the Social Work Student Union (SWSU), which consists of all students in the school, and the Association of Black Social Work Students (ABSWS) r e ea s e d statements supporting the CSCC proposals. "SWSU supports the demands of CSCC and urges all students to support these demands. The SWSU will take whatever steps necessary to ultimately implement these de- mands." the SWSU release said. Angie Current, ABSWS 'vice president said, "We are support- ing our fellow social work stu- dents and arewsending a letter to the dean informing him of that f act." Alan Berns, a spokesman for CSCC, said the group would not be satisfied unless all the propo- sals were accepted. "None of the proposals are soj long range that they can't be im- plemented in the near future," he said, adding CSCC has scheduled1 another meeting for next Monday. "to develop alternatives for what- ever decision comes from the school." [Berns said the group expected to receive a response to its pro-' posals the following Tuesday and would be prepared to "actualize" Wednesday in case of an unfavor- able decision. "Enough students are irate over the curriculum issue so that some- thing will be done, regardless of1 the school's decision," one CSCC member said, "The University! thinks students have no real pow-c er. We hope to clarify this mis-i taken sentiment." -Ass-cated Press -Associated Press GOV. WILLIAM MILLIKEN, right, watches election returns last night with his wife and former Gov. George Romney, above, as computer operators, below, try to fix a jammed computer card reader in Flint. Election results yield Democrat g*ains party tie in state Senate There were indications it would; be sometime today before the out- come would be certain. The city was having mechanical problems with its count of computer cards from a punchcard voting system, reminiscent of a logjam that caus- ed a similar delay in Detroit vote- counting during the August pri- mary election. If Milliken won, he would be the only Republican to withstand a Democratic sweep of top statewide offices. Sen. Philip Hart (D- Mich.) and Atty. Gen. Frank Kelley were re-elected; and vot- ers chose Richard Austin, unsuc- cessful black candidate for mayor of Detroit last year, as secretary of state. Those victories were ex- pected. The Milliken-Levin race was judged by pollsters as too close to call just before the election, fol- lowing previous polls which gave Milliken a narrow edge over the 39-year-old Levin. Milliken was lieutenant gover- nor when PresidenttNixon named Gov. George Romney to his cab- inet in January of 1969. Moving into the governor's chair as a re-, sult, Milliken sought to establish' his own identity as chief executive.. He occasionally took issue with the Nixon administration and dur- ing the gubernatorial campaign ran on his own without linking his candidacy to a coordinated party effort. Levin, a good-looking, articulate attorney and former state Demo-" cratic chairman, based his cam- paign on the theme that Milli- keno lacked leadership qualities. Both agreed the 'race would be close. In other Michigan balloting, voters re-elected all 19 members of the U.S. House of Representatives, repeating the result 9f the 1968 election.. They also approved a state con- stitutional ban against using pub- lic funds to help private a n d parochial schools, rejecting a pro- posal to -lower the voting age to 18 and turned down a $100 mil- lion bond issue for low cost hous- ing. Two former Democratic g o v- ernors were elected to the Michi- gan Supreme Court as voters end- ed the 24-year tenure of Republi- can-nominated Justice John Deth- mers. Incumbent justices Robert J. Danhof of East Lansing and Ro- bert B. Burns of Grand Rapids gained re-election in non-partisan races for the State Court of Ap- peals., Democrat victory still nossible in t1iht race DETROIT IAA - Republican Gov. William Milliken clung to a dwindling but still substantial lead last night as results trickled in from Detroit precincts -favoring his Democratic opponent. Milliken, 48, seeking his first elected term as governor, led state Sen. Sander Levin 1,223,791 to 1,109,481 with 88 per cent of the precincts counted. However, the remaining precincts all were in the Detroit area where the liberal Levin is, popular. As each new batch of returns came in, Milliken's lead was whittled further. If he comes up in the remaining Detroit precincts with a margin expected of him, Levin stands a chance of overtaking the moderate, mild-mannered Milliken. Dems win 2 Regent positions DETROIT (/P)-Two Democratic candidates held their own in out- state Michigan and were. deluged with votes in the metropolitan De- troit area to claim seats on the / Board of Regents. Paul B'rown, 36, an attorney from Petoskey, led all contestants in Tuesday's -general election, qs he received 960,254 votes in 75 per dent, or 4,553, of 6,041 precincts reporting. He held 26, per cent of the total vote, but 32 per cent in initial returns in Wayne County. Democrat James L. Waters got 902,533 votes or 25 per cent. Republican candidates who held 24 per cent each statewide, but only 19 per cent in Detroit were Paul G. Goebel Jr. with 885,208 votes and Jack H. Schuler with 885,208 votes. George Kindred, 45, of Pinck- ney, had 4,307 votes and Thomas B. Staffing, 51, of Detroit, 4,013 votes as candidates from the American Independent party. Candidates from one of the minor parties, Thomas Vernier and Marsha Wisch of the Socialist' Workers party both of whom live in Ann Arbor, won 910 and 912 votes in Washtenaw County. Waters, who was chairman of the University's Black Law Stu- dent Alliance during the Black Ac- tion Movement strike last spring strongly believes in University in- dependence from the Legislature. "I feel that our 'University cam- pus must remain autonmous and free from unnecessary control by the State Legislature," he says. Brown, on the other hand, em- phasizes the University's depend- ance on the state for appropri- ations and operational funds. "One of the Regents' primary jobs in- cludes selling the University to the state and its citizens," he says. The election of two Democrats creates a four-four party split' on the board. With Republican Ger- trude Huebner consistently voting with Democrat members the Re- gents are expected to assume a more liberal position. Democrat Don Stevens, chair- man of the Michigan State Board of Trustees, won re-election to a third term on the board. to be on By EUGENE ROBINSON The necessity of military re- search at the University will be debated in the Union Ballroom tonight at 8 p.m. in a forum spon- sored by the Office- of Student Services., The speakers will include Vice President in charge of Research A. Geoffrey Norman, Dr. George Zissus, a physicist for Willow Run Laboratories, Prof. Gerald Char- *beneau, a member of the Classified Research Committee, and Robert Eisenhart, a doctoral student in electrical engineering. Arguing against continued war research will be Bob Ross and Jim Brugh, both members of the Brain oMistrust, Seamus O'Clerecain, and SDS member Joel Silverstein. According to Bill Bachman, whc worked to organize 'the forum, 'the idea for such a discussion grew out of a disruption last week by local radicals of ROTC drills in Water- man Gymnasium. The 'group, re- *portedly composed mainly of SDS members, left the building quietly after being asked to dG so. They then =went to Norman's office and challenged him to a debate or Ulniversity research for the mili- tary. Norman tentatively accepted, and formal arrangements were de- cided upon later. "I am ost willing to talk with student groups," Norman said. He cihange hmo di:ebate.gn hp- Ann Arbor Women's Coalition to find two women to serve on the commission, which would bring the total number of SGC! appointees to eight. The student appointees are Brian Spears, Bob Nelson, Grady Mckay, Jim Sandler, ,Dave Kiefer and Frank Jackson. In other action, SGC chastized the Regents for complying only selectively with student initiated . referenda. "The Regents, in a t characteristically erratic, menda- cious and racist manner," the SGC motion charged, "have refused to I collect on the BAM sponsored stu- dent referendum regarding the Martin Luther King, Jr. fund, - while collecting monies for !the University bookstore."

Dearborn was defeated by Demo- crat David Plawecki, who chal- lenged her on the abortion issue. His victory eliminated the pre- vious Republican lead of 20-18. In cases of a partisan split, the decisive vote will be cast by the lieutenant governor who will act as tie-breaker in case of a split vote. In the state House of Represent- atives, the Democrats maintained their 57-53 lead over the Repub- licans. Democrat Earl Nelson, a black1 Lansing Chamber of Commercei official, won over David Machel in Lansing's 57th District. Thatl seat was formerly held by Rep.I Flint area. Veteran Democratic Rep. Al- bert R. Horrigan retired from the state House, and two previously "safe" seats in Genesee County remained in jeopardy because of departures of their Democratic holders. In the 106th district of the northern Lower Peninsula, Republican Roger Friske, a self- professed John Bircher, defeated Democrat Peter Johnson and Glenn Law, a write-in candidate. A few factors could still change the 57-53 balance. In Detroit's unpredictable 17th District, the race remained a toss-up between Republican Ronald McClune and Democrat William Brodhead be- cause of computer foul-ups and vote tally delays. In the 83rd district, the returns in the race between Democrat Mansour and Republican Kelley were equally inconclusive. Working control of both houses has not been in Democratic hands since 1933-34 when William A. Comstock ousted incumbent Re- publican Gov. Wilbur M. Brucker. In the Ann Arbor area, Repub- lican state Rep. Ray Smit defeated' Democrat Don Koster. "The elec- tion results show," Koster said Tuesday night, "that you can't win an election in a city where the two newspapers don't give you much suppoit, especially when one is hostile to you and you don't have much money for campaign- ing." Smit's and Koster's positions varied sharply on m'ost of the is- sues in the campaign. The only woman involved in the legislative races, Mrs. Suzanne Freund of Ypsilanti, was beaten by incumbent Roy Smith of Ypsi- lanti for a seat in the state House of Representatives from the 52nd district. Running unopposed in the 51st District, Thomas G. Sharpe of Howell retained his seat in the state House. State Sen. Gilbert Bursley de- feated Democrat George Sallade. Bursley said Tuesday night, "I am very satisfied with the'vote. There has been a tremendous amount of ticket-splitting, which indicates thinking on the part of voters." Factors being blamed across the state for the difficulty in counting the votes are computer problems, a heavy voter turnout, "sticker" campaigns-equivalent to write- in campaigns with paper ballots- 1. REVERSE LOSSES Democrats win governorships Three welfare group protesters arrested WASHINGTONN (,)-Democrats reversed a decade of losses in one election day to seize a strong majority of the nation's governorships, the political power bases vital to 1972 presidential and congressional battles. "We find the, Democratic party a ma- jority part in America," crowed National Democratic Chairman Lawrence F. O'Brien after his party seized 13 governorships- from the GOP in Tuesday's voting, includ- ing the big states of Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida. Adding Texas which the Democrats re- tained, this gave Democrats control of four O'Brien said the dramatic Democratic governorship gains will give his party the edge in redistricting of congressional seats in line with population changes in the 1970 census, The victories also meant President Nixon will face hostile administrations in a ma- jority of states in his 1972 're-election bid, including the political power centers of Ohio and Florida that had gone for Nixon in 1968. Other states the Democrats picked up from the GOP were Nebraska, Wisconsin, New Mexico, Minnesota, South Dakota, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Idaho, Nevada and By CHUCK WILBUR Three supporters of the Wel- fare Rights Organization (WRO) and the Black Economic Develop- ment League (BEDL) were arrest- ed Tuesday afternoon while con- ducting a sit-in at St. Paul's Lu- theran Church at 420 W.
