t. t EDITED AND MANAGED BY STUDENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN TOL. XLI., No. 154. . EIGHT PAGES ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, MAY 7, 1931 IURCUUMR E NSANCT 0 PRICE FIVE CEN' N'El Bulletin Determined opposition to the University Council plan in its present form was expressed at a meeting i of the literary col- lege faculty yesterday after- noon, according to a dispatch in the Detroit Free Press this morning. The stand, it said, was based on the proposal to curb the legislative powers of the Uni- versity Senate and on the pro- posal to give administrative officers, of the University equal representation with the facul- ty. The Senate will take up the question at its meeting Mon- day. The Free Press states that the meeting had expressed op- position to curbing the Senate's powers, but that those opposed might accept the new plan if considered desirable that the literary college be given an even larger plurality of votes over the other schools than had been proposed, the story says. Under the present plan, the Wooten Testifies. E. A. Wooten, vice-president and treasurer of the Michigan Broad- tasting company operating the sta- tion, testified that approximately $30,000 was contributed to an un- employment fund prior to the death of Buckley, who inspired the cam- paign. He was not certain as to the disposition of the money. Wooten said Buckley's receipts from the station were small. He testified that Robert Oakman was to have paid $2,600 for the time he took for a bitter debate with the then Commissioner of Public works, John Gillespie, dur- ing the mayoralty recall campaign last summer, but that $1,950 re- mains unpaid. Gillespie, he said, paid $2,707.50 for the time he took during the campaign, with an un- paid balance of $3,052.50. hunt Questioned. E. J. Hunt, president of the com- pany, testified that he is the Detroit representative of the Railways Util- ities corporation.

Wilcox, Former Mayor Charles Bowles, Gillespie, Oakman, and Christopher F. Coda, foreman of the 22-man Wayne county grand jury which investi- gated the Buckley slaying.
