History of Student Proposal Outlined (EDITOR'S NOTE: The following is the first in a series of interpretive articles dealing with the origin, purpose and structure of the proposed Student Government Council, which will be submitted for student opinion in a referendum on Dec. 8 and 9.) By BECKY CONRAD Daily Assiiciate Editor Outline for the present Student Government Council plan grew out of a six-page brief submitted to the Student Affairs Study Com- r' mittee last January by Malin Van Antwerp, '55L. The proposal was one of many submitted to the study group by students, administrators and campus organizations. The plan called for a board of review composed of faculty and administration members and a council of students drawn from leading 3ampus organizations and elected members from the campus-at- large. SGC, under this proposal, would take over functions of Student .Mlature and SAC. Hatcher Sets Up SASC SASC, a joint faculty-student study group, was set up by Uni- versity President Harlan H. Hatcher in November to study functions and composition of SAC. At the group's initial meeting, President Hatcher pointed out the SAC study was planned "not because we face any crisis," but "it would seem helpful if we had a look at the SAC," taking into con- sideration growth and development of the University since SAC organization in 1909. SASC was composed of Chairman Prof. Lionel Laing of the political science department, Dean Earl V. Moore of the music school, Prof. Earl Britton of the engineering English department, Dean Walt- er Emmons of the engineering college and Prof. Kenneth L. Jones of the botany department. Student members appointed to the study group by President Hatcher were Al Blumrosen, '53L, Peter Lardner, '54E, and Sue Popkin, '54. Taking their cue from the President's talk, the study group t asked various campus organizations to submit suggestions for SAC revamping. During the course of the weekly sessions, SASC re- ceived proposals from organizations, students, administrators and former students. Investigate Student Government In February, the President gave the group the "green light" to go into a thorough investigation of student government. This move came after SASC found the original inquiry extended far beyond the study of SAC composition. It became apparent that SAC was part of a maze of inter-related organizations and could not be studied apart from other groups. So the study committee moved out of the area of SAC reorgani- zation into the realm of student government analysis. From these discussions came the plan presented to the President in May, 1954. Some of the problems arising during the course of the year-long inquiry centered around questions of size, finances and powers of sac. Major protests flared up at the mention of an 18-member student government, with seven ex-officio and 11 elected members. Many argued that such a group couldn't carry out the work of a student government. Student Legislature membership at the present time is set at 40. Opponents of the "seven-come-eleven" plan claimed the 18 members could not do all the research and background work neces- sary for an effective student government. One solution to the size problem was that of delegating many of SL's time-consuming service projects to other student organi- zations. But this solution posed the problem of enforcing delegation of projects. How could SGC compel another student organization to take over responsibility for its drives, dances and other service pro- jects? Some advocated SGC power of the purse to control these groups. However, this suggestion was not incorporated in the original plan After weekly open sessions hashing out many of the problems arising from discussions of student government, the group agreed upon a plan for an 18-member SGC which incorporated the func- tions of SL and SAC. Presented to Regents Presented to the President in May, 1954, the plan was submitted to the Board of Regents at their August meeting and referred to committee for study. At their September session, the Regents' com- mittee questioned whether the proposal adequately determined the scope and power of SGC. University Vice-President James A. Lewis set up a 13-member committee to resolve suggested changes in the plan early in October. The revised SGC brief was presented in November for Regental consideration subject to a student poll of opinion. Regents then delayed action on the plan until after the student referendum on SGC. Campus Forum o Discuss SGC Town Meeting' Sponsored by SL To Evaluate Proposal Arguemen ts By GENE HARTWIG Daily Managing Editor Pro and con discussion of basic issues involved in the Student Government Council plan will be the subject of an all-campus forum at 8 p.m. Tuesday. Authorized by Student Affairs Committee yesterday, the "town meeting" is being sponsored by Student Legislature and other student groups. Location for the meeting has not yet been determined. SAC's action implements point four of the resolution passed last week calling in part for "SAC to join with other campus units in Vote on Censure Today; Mundt Says Move Would Help Reds Bond Raised{ For Iranian Political Asylun Sought by Studeni By JOEL BERGER Bond enabling Buick Navidza-: deh, '57L, to remain out of prison while his case is decided was rais- ed yesterday by several local resi-I dents.

George, Jr., of the Law School said yesterday. The $1,000 bond was raised yes- terday when indemnity contracts were filed with a surety companyl in Detroit. The contracts pledge the six to eight local persons to pay the company if Navidzadeh is not available for the hearing next week. Indemnity Contracts Indemnity contracts were plac- ed by a local pastor and leaders7 from Lane Hall and the Interna-, tional Center. The only question up for con- sideration at the hearing next week will be whether or not the graduate student's passport has been revoked, Prof. George said. If the Immigration Service holds; that the passport was revoked by the Iranian government, a peti- tion for political asylum in the" United States will be presented to deputy district Immigration Ser- vice director Edward J. Duggan during the hearing. Faces Execution Navidzedeh claims that if de- ported, he faces possible execution, having been charged with being a Communist sympathizer by the ruling military junta in his native country. The student asserts he is not a Communist and is =being framed by the ruling group. With a wife and two children presently in Iran, Navidzadeh may receive help from a section of the McCarran - Walter Immigration Act which says no person shall be, deported if he faces physical per-I secution in his home country. Another aid being given the stu- dent is a private bill currently in Congress sponsored by Rep. Thad- deus M. Maehrowicz (D-Mich.)

Enrollment in Russian Studies Drops in American Colleges By MARY ANN THOMAS Enrollment in Russian language courses at the University has dropped from 133 last year to 108 this fall, according to Dean Bur- ton D. Thuma of the literary col- lege, despite the growing demand from government agencies forI specialists in Russian and other Slavic languages. A recent survey by the New York Times shows that this figure is the reflection of a trend in most American colleges and universities with an over-all drop in Slavic language enrollment of 35 perl terest in the study of Russian and related languages.
