Page Two THE MICHIGAN DAILY Thursday, May 21, 11970 New York construction workers THREE 'FREE' YEARS lead massive pro.Nixon march U' to give special study grants I- NEW YORK (A' - Steel-hel- meted construction workers led a throng estimated by a police source at 150,000 persons in a City Hall rally yesterday in support of the Nixon administration's Indo- china war policy. It was by far the largest pro- administration turnout in the several yaars since masses have begun taking to the city streets to demonstrate for and against Vietnam. Yesterday's march ap- peared to exceed even a 1967 out- pouring of antiwar marchers, es- timated by police at the time to number 125,000. Heavily policed, shepherded by union marshals, exhortad by their! leaders to keep their cool, the marchers beneath American flags made their way through down- town Manhattan without violence. Besides the hardhats, the ranks included longshoremen and office, workers. When trouble occasionally seemed to threaten, police moved in quickly. There were 3,800 of them assigned. The lack of violence was in contrast to a May 8 rally, when construction workers attacked, beat and injured 70 antiwar dem- onstrators and long-haired youths in the same area. In Buffalo, N.Y., meanwhile, as estimated 1,500 construction work- ers from that area staged a noon rally with signs proclaiming "sup- port the President," and "Amer- ica, Love it or Leave it."' By ROB BIER What would you do if some- one came up to you and said, "Take three years off and do whatever you like. We'll pay your way?" Sound fantastic? Well, in a short time, it will be coming true for a small number of University students as part of a program called the Michi- gan Society of Fellows. With the help of a $2 million terminal grant from the Ford Foundation, the Society will un- derwrite 18 to 30 junior fellows who will be free to pursue their own interests for three years. Only two strings are attached. The junior fellows must meet with the senior fellows, mostly distinguished professors, once a week for an informal dinner. This ties them to the University community. Beyond that, no re- strictions are made. The junior fellows will no: be required to pursue any course of study and, in fact, may not be allowed to take any courses for credit, according to Stephen Spurr, vice president and dean of the graduate school. The plan is modeled after the Harvard Society of F e 11o w s which was established in 1933 and has since produced two Nobel and five Pulitzer prize- winners, in addition to a long ------:----- list of respected scholars and public leaders. One former Harvard fel.xv is Donald Hall, now a professor of English at the University. Thf program allowed him to stop work toward becoming an Eng- lish professor and to spend three years writing poetry, Spurr said. "Since I became a graduate dean, I've been very concerned with developing interdisciplin- ary programs," Spurr said. He believes that the Michigan fel- low will be able, if he chooses, to explore areas of interest to him which lie outside his field of formal study, as well as gain different perspectives from the senior fellows. Spurr said he studied the Har- vard plan, drew up a proposal for the Ford Foundation and tne money was granted. However, there is a stipulation that the University must seek matching funds, some of which are al- ready being made available by the various schools and colleges. Support will be sought from other sources as well, Spurr said, but "no type of financial sup- port will be acceptable which limits the freedom of the junior fellow." In his first year, a junior fel- low would receive up 'o a $7,000 stipend, plus a $500 dependency allowance for up to three de- pendents, with the stipend in- creasing by $500 each subse- quent year. Spurr said he hopes to have two to four junior fellows in the program next year. Students will be chosen by the group of senior fellows initially. with jun- ior fellows joining in the deci- sion as they enter the program. In a letter to the deans, de- partment chairmen and program chairmen, Spurr said tne society was looking for "individuals without regard to race, -ex, or nationality who are amonng the most promising of all students that you have ever known and who show most unusual uromis e" either in a special field, or "scholarship in the broadest sense." At present, the organizing group of senior fellows consists of seven people with three to five additional members to be chosen. They are: President Robben Fleming, who is a pro- fessor of law; Vice President for Academic Affairs Allan Smith, also a professor of law; .T dner Ackley, former chairman of the President'sCouncil of Econo- mic Advisors and an econoiemcs professor; Otto Graff, professor of German and chairman of the literary college's honors pro- gram; Donald Hall, professor of English; and Dr. James Noel, professor of human genetics.
