U' upheld The Michigan Court of Appeals has upheld the University's policy of making subsidy payments to the city school board. The pay- ments are made to help defer the educational costs of children living in University Housing, especially the married housing complex - on North Campus. Some residents of the housing asked the court to rule the University's pay- ments illegal-and thus bring down rents. Stephenson perplexed James Stephenspn, former city councilman and head Republican honcho, showed up at the Campus Theatre Friday-complete with wirerims-for the late night showing of Kurt Vonnegut's "Slaughterhouse Five." The even- ing apparently wasn't a complete success, though, as the perplexed Stephenson was overheard commenting to his companion on the way out: "These darn films that win festival awards-they're all so weird!"

CHANGING LIFE-STYLES P Greeks ,sport new By SUE TRETHEWEY The Greek system-once considered to be a dying culture-is still kicking (and con- dicting rush) today. Victims of a campus that made their names dirty words, the 53 fraternities and sororities tflat still survive today are adapting them- selves to a new University-dropping rigid rules and developirg into co-ops. In 1958, the number of students who joined fraternities dropped 50 per cent from the year before. Since then the number dropped steadily to a total of 231 pledges last year. The decline in sorority pledges was less dramatic, though last year there were only 17 pledges. Eleven houses disbanded in 1968 due to fi ,ancial problemns, and nine more have dis- appeared since. Some had added expensive additions in the early 60s because of a University ruling that they expand, then found they had fewer members. Others were forced to sell their houses and move into smaller buildings. About 20 houses began renting rooms to non-boarders. The once highly-organized Greek system has fallen apart. Inter-Fraternity Council (IFC) was all but abandoned two years ago, though some fraternities still banded to- gether to share rush publicity costs. Pan- hellenic Association still met to unify sorori- ties during rush, but it no longer could enforce its old rules. Marsha Davis, president, of Kappa Kappa Gamma, says the removal of the traditional Greek structure was one reason for the n neann.un ne nr n w i Oh Winston, look at all the people!' By LAURA BERMAN A massive Old English Sheepdog sat blissfully on the table as his mistress tugged at his tangled hair with a brush, doused him liberally with powders and sprays and tied a blue ribbon in his topknot. "Oh I'm not showing him today," the dog's mistress explained. "I just brought him along because he loves dog shows and he would be jealous of his brother if I didn't pretend he was getting ready for the show too." Similar dramas were being enacted throughout the Farm Council Grounds in Saline yesterday when some fifty shaggy dogs prepared to com- pete in a "fun show" sponsored by the Old English Sheepdog Club of Greater Detroit. Unlike most dog shows, no championship points were awarded; instead, young dogsin therSaline show gained experience in the rigors of grooming and parading around a ring. Shelley Ovink, proud owner of nine month-old Winston Churchillptalked about sheepdogs while she pulled clumps of Winston's hair out with a' ferocious wire comb. She recalled the time she was riding in the car with her husband, and Winston Churchill, when a woman in another car began pointing at her. This woman was yelling to her husband, 'Ralph, look at the sheepdog!' So I turned around to Win- ston Churchill and pointed at the woman and said, 'Winston Churchill, look at the people!' ' Ovink, who now lives in Ferndale, will soon move to the Upper Peninsula where she will have more room for her dogs. "I have three sheepdogs and just a small fenced- in yard," she said. "It isn't fair for the dogs to be cooped up like that." "That's not true," another sheepdog parent in- )k' thi~s fall breakdown. "When we moved from a struc- t'ired system to one that was less structured," she says, "people didn't know how to keep organized." Gary Kreps, president of the newly- constituted Fraternity Co-operative Council, says one problem was "political trouble within IFC. There was unfounded antagonism between houses." Because of the declining number of mem- bers, many houses began renting rooms to boarders. As one fraternity member says, "The roomers proved to be great assets in most houses. Not only did they lend financial aid, but many times they joined after a year." This was the case for Alpha Delta Phi, a fraternity. Last year almost all the in- habitants were non-members or former boarders. Through the efforts of boarders and a summer rush program, everyone liv- ing in the house today is a member, and the. house is filled to capacity. Mike Sommerfield, a boarder two years ago and president today, explains, "We're all guys: who really had no concept of what a fraternity was before moving in. We de- cided to reorganize and get the place going again in a new way." Formed along the lines of these casually- organized Greek houses, two fraternities re-- opened this year. Steve Cohen, who helped organize Sigma Alpha Mu says, "We kind of transplanted one house of Markley into here." The format, though, is like most fraternities: house offi- cers and council, weekly meetings, social activities and sports competition. Cohen adds, "I personally can't see a lot of difference between fraternities and co-ops. There has to be co-operative living among people in any form of group living. The only thing we were afraid of is being called a fraternity, because of campus opinion." Other houses are developing along cul- tural lines. Alpha Epsilon Pi has sprung up this year with the only completely Kosher kitchen on campus. Sigma Phi Epsilon, mean- while, serves both Kosher and regular food. At this point, the future looks more favor- able for the Greek system. While 11 houses dissolved in 1969 and three last year, none have disappeared this year and two, in fact, have re-opened. Robert Rorke, assistant director of small group housing and IFC president four years ago, foresees a definite comeback at the University. "This year," he says, "the campus is once again social and organized-it's more stable and students are putting effort into organ- ized activity. Panhellenic President Missy Lang pre- dicts a comeback because of growing student discontent with other housing. "Dorms are pretty much on the way out, except for SAIGON U)-An explosion ripped through a gun turret on the U.S. 7th Fleet's heavy cruiser Newport News early today, killing 19 sailors 'and injuring 10, the Navy an- nounced. The world's largest gun cruiser was oper- ating just below the demilitarized zone in an area some 13 miles north-northeast of Quang Tri City, firing against North Vietnamese positions, the Navy said. The explosion oc- curred at about 1 a.m. Saigon time. There was no immediate indication wheth- er the damage was caused by North Viet- namese shore batteries. Both artillery and Soviet made surface-to-surface missiles would have had the capability to inflict a hit on the ship. "The extent of the damage is not known but it was apparently restricted to the gun turret," the 7th Fleet said in a brief state- ment. "Cause of the accident is under in- vestigation." Reporters in South Vietnam were reported trying to reach the ship early this morning, but it was not known whether any of them have yet found transportation to the vessel. The explosion was the worst accident aboard a 7th Fleet ship since the big Ameri- can buildup began last March 30 to counter the North Vietnamese offensive. A Navy spokesman said the explosion was at the number two turret of eight-inch guns, which would be just forward of the bridge. Two of the ship's three eight-inch gun turrets are forward, one is aft of the bridge. Associated Press correspondent Dennis Neeld reported from Da Nang that the ship has a medical facility aboard and that the injured were still aboard at daybreak. The cruiser was reported still in the same area off Quang Tri, four miles from the mouth of the Cua Viet River. There was no indication of its next des- tination. The 21,000-ton Newport News is based in Norfolk, Va. It was sent to Vietnam earlier this year as part of the naval buildup. It has operated against enemy targets in both North and South Vietnam, and led two raids on the major port of Haiphong. The cruiser's main battery consists of three turrets, each with thre rapid firing eight- inch guns.- The secondary gun batteries are made up of 12 dual purpose five-inch guns and four three-inch guns. It has a crew of 1,200 men. The incident recalled July 29, 1967, when an explosion shook the aircraft carrier For- restal on duty in the Gulf of Tonkin. More than 130 men died in that explosion and fire, which was touched off during fuel- ing of a Skyhawk jet. Much of the death and damage occured when one of the plane's 1,000-pound bombs exploded, ripping a gap- ing hole in the deck. Meanwhile, battlefield action in South Vietnam was at a brief lull yesterday, but officers in the South Vietnamese army don't believe Hanoi has halted its test of South Vietnam's ability to survive militarily. Some sources believe the Communists will stage a series of spectacular attacks in the Saigon region during the month before the U.S. presidential election. Dean Rhodes LSA faculty decis ion ue on RC report By JOHN MARSTON The literary college governing faculty is expected to reach a decision tomorrow after- noon on several far-reaching recommenda- tions for the Residential College (RC)-in cluding a controversial increase in its budget. Recommendations of a review committee, which made an extensive study of the college last spring, will be presented before the faculty in a form shortened and somewhat modified by LSA Dean Frank Rhodes and the literary college's executive committee. The most important question to be decided is LSA Dean Frank Rhodes' request for a 12 per cent ($43,000) increase in the RC budget. This is $25,000 less than that recommended by the review committee. The requested budget hike, however, is still likely to be debated and possibly pared down in the' face of recent University-wide cutbacks. Assistant LSA Dean Edward Dougherty says that if the faculty does not approve the school's budget, the Residential College would have to be discontinued. The governing faculty, though, has no power to set the budget. This power rests with the dean and the executive committee. "The only thing the faculty can do is approve or disapprove the budget in toto," Dougherty explains. Estimates comparing the cost of RC and LSA classes vary. The review committee report shows that the RC costs 1.5 to 1.75 times as much as LSA for its undergraduate courses. Dougherty, however, calculates the teach- ing cost per RC credit hour as only about 1.15 times average LSA costs and the total See LSA, Page 7 Wealthy alumni at the U': Yon can't go home again' By \GORDON ATCHESON "There has been a lot of change and we're not sure it is all for the best", the worried "fat cat" said. Like the other members of the President's Club who gathered at the Hilton Inn yester- day and Friday, he had come back to his alma mater. As one of 1,200 club members, he has con- tributed at least $10,000 to the University. But he was plainly discouraged yesterday with what he saw. As another club member put it, "It's sick- ening to find out how anti-alumni s o m e students. are. I think they do the things they do just to get recognition . . . like the beards team, said that "there is bound to be change, but the pendulum has swung farther than it should." He added that "every student, regardless of race, should have to work. There should be no special privileges." A man named Trapp, who refused to give his first name, dismally viewed the students' role in city government. "I think it's ter. rible - they're transients. The people who support them are back in Podunk" he said. "That is where they should vote." According to Trapp one solution to the problem is to admit no out-of-state students to Michigan.
