Case
Review Dismissed.
(Continued from Page 1)
At the time of the suspension,
Director of University Pupblic Re-
lations Arthur L. Brandon told the
public the suspensions mean that
"they will not be permitted to
carry on their work at the Univer-
sity." He emphasized however,
that the suspensions were "with-
out loss of pay."
Faculty Senate Motion
On May 17, at a meeting of the
Faculty Senate, a motion revolv-
ing around the testimony of Prof.
Nickerson before the Clardy Com-
mittee was brought up. In particu-
lar,' it concerned a question by
Committee counsel Frank Tave-
ner who said at the Lansing hear-
ing, ". . .according to the infor-
mation in the possession of the
Committee the witness (Nicker-
son) advised the University offi-
NSA Adopts
Plan To End
Segregation
(Continued from Page 1)
that the new Student Bill of Rights
and Responsibilities develops a
concept of standards for which all
groups in. university communities
are striving.
7Proponents of the bill argued
this represented a more mature
and more adequate view for uni-
versities since it brings students
together with faculty and admin-
istration personnel working to ac-
complish goals of education.
Student Exchanges
Other action of the Congress
included a declaration of student
exchange which urges NSA's in-
ternational vice-president to ex-
pand the Association's present ex-
change program and adding "the
most meaningful type of contact
results from a free exchange of
ideas by free agents on a student-
to-student basis."
NSA leaders said experience has
proved that meaningful exchange
cannot take place with students
from Iron Curtain countries.
In his message to the Congress,
President Dwight D. Eisenhower
said "By promoting student par-
ticipation in campus government
and national affairs, the United
States National Student Associa-
tion is helping to strengthen our
educational system and to pre-
pare students to become respon-
sible citizens in the democratic
community now and in future
years."
cials that he had been a member
of the Communist Party but
claimed he had severed all con
nections with the Communist
Party."
According to faculty members!
attending the Senate meeting,
there was p. feeling among some
that this statement clearly point-
ed to a revelation of information
given in confidence by Prof. Nick-
erson to the three University of-
ficials.
At the Faculty Senate meeting,
Prof. Raymond L. Wilder of the
mathematics department made a
motion intended to start investi-
gation of the way in which the
Committee learned of these con-
ferences.
The motion was tabled at that
meeting following a statement by
the chairman of the meeting,
President Hatcher, who declared
the motion improper.
Pay Issue
Although it was emphasized the
suspension was "without loss of
pay," Prof. Nickerson told the
Daily recently that he had not re-
ceived pay from either the phar-
macology department or the Uni-
versity since June 1. He reported
loss of pay to the American Asso-
ciation of University Professors,
who wired Ann Arbor in August
stating that severance pay, ac-
cording to AAUP by-laws, is to
be "regular salary for one year in
case of dismissal not involving
moral turpitude."
AAUP decisions and by-laws are
not binding, but are advisory and
usually followed by its members.
In the early part of June, the
Medical School Executive Com-
mittee began its investigation of
Prof. Nickerson's case. In the ad-
joining story is a summary of the
group's findings.

Medical Group
Gives Decision
on Nickerson
(Continued from Page 1)
"The doubts and suspicions
raised by Dr. Nickerson's attitude
have weakened seriously the con
fidence of a large number of his
colleagues in him, and have led
to serious internal conflicts within
the Department of Pharmacology.
His failure to make a public decla-
ration of the facts concerning his
associations with the Communist
Party is harmful to the Medical
School, and may injure the reputa-
tions of the University as a whole.
This absence of confidence-inspir-
ing candor reveals a lack of loyal-
ty to the University, whose defense
and protection he is now seeking.
"4.) For these reasons Dr. Nick-
erson's usefulness to this Medical
School appears limited and, there-
fore, the Executive Committee rec-
ommends his dismissal."
The letter was signed by Dean
Furstenberg, who said the deci-
sion to recommend dismissal was
unanimous.

case of Prof. Nickerson and the re-
port of the Special Advisory Commit-
tee on him.)

Take Action

rected the formation of the mo-
tion which .was eventually passed
by the whole convention.
Acacia, holding its 50th anniver-
sary conclave here where it was
founded in 1904, almost deleted its
bias clause.
Again it was the University
chapter which promoted action by
use of the IFC service system, but
the motion which reached the
floor was defeated by the narrow-
est margin of any vote in its fra-
ternity convention history,
Phi Delts Act
Anti-restriction procedure was
initiated at the Phi Delta Theta
convention but due to a clause in
its constitution final passage must
wait at least two years.
The convention voted to elimi-
nate its 'white aryan' insertion but
before it becomes officially delet-
ed it must be passed in two suc-
cessive conventions. Since the fra-
ternity holds bi-annual meetings
official action cannot come until
1956.
A study committee established
two years ago reported at the
Theta Chi national convention in
Atlanta, but submitted a recom-
mendation that another commit-
tee be formed to study the situa-
tion another two years.
Another user of the IFC coun-
selling service, Sigma Phi Epsilon,
holds conventions every two years
and won't have opportunity for
action until" next year.
Te same was true for Sigma
Chi.

FOR NSA AFFILIATES:
SL InauguratesDiscount Plan at 'U'
A national discount system,'
which enables University students
to recive discounts on a large var-
iety of merchandise at selected
stores throughout the country, has,
begun operations on campus.
The Student Discount Service
(SDS), operated by the National
Student Association was brought
to the campus by the Student
Legislature. It enrolls the Univer-
sity in a system in existence in
dozens of colleges in all parts of
the country which gives five to 50
per cent discounts to students
through local and nation-wide
merchants.
While no complete list of con-
tracted merchants has yet been
received by SL, 17,000 Purchase
Cards were distributed by SL dur-
ing registration.
No Local Merchants
It is not expected, according. to
SL's NSA Coordinator Jane Ger-
many, '56, that Ann Arbor mer-
chants will join the plan at pres-
ent. However, approximately 50
Detroit merchants have already
been contracted and an increase
in that number is now expected. _
Approval to join the SDS net-t
work was given by SL last semes-
ter. According to Larry Levine,
'56, Public Relations Chairman,
who suggested joining the system
last spring, the retailer who joins
the Purchase Card System finds;
that the 'increase in the volume
of sales more than makes up for
the lower prices.
"He has a direct appeal to theX

SL Guild To Show

"Crime and Punishment," thek
French-made movie of Dostoyev-
sky's famous novel will be featured
by the SL-Cinema Guild at 7 and1
9 p.m. Thursday and Friday in
Architecture Auditorium.
Tyrone Power will star in "The
Black Rose" at 7 and 9 p.m. Sat-
urday and 8 p.m. Sunday in the
Cinema Guild week-end program.
Admission is 50 cents.
Levine said, "because he is able
to count on more trade from stu-
dents he can stock more goods for
students."
Varied Items
Items available for discount are
varied, from theater tickets to gas-
oline and automobile tires.
The system was begun at the
University of Buffalo in x1946 to re-
duce the student cost of living. At
present such schools as the Uni-
versities of California, Chicago,
Detroit, and Miami as well as
Michigan Tech, Harvard, Yale and
Wayne University have joined the
system.
Although Purchase Cards were
originally offered for sale at mem-
ber schools to finance NSA mem-
bership, it was decided the cards
would be given free to University
students.
