pledge classes change.

TWO MONTHS, if everything goes as planned, is all the time it
will take for Shaver Creek, here being "inspected" by five students,
to fill up the Stone Valley Recreational Area's 70-acre lake next

the background.

ed for approximately $40,000 and
the Parents' Fund - $BOOO. How
ever, since the last audit in Jan
uary an-estimated s2ooo'has been

AIM Board Favors
Directed Vote
On First Reading
The Association of Independent Men Board of Governors
last night, on first reading, voted 9-5, with two abstentions,
in favor of an amendment to its constitution which would
prevent the AIM president from voting on All-University
Cabinet against the wishes of the.board.
The amendment, presented by David Byers, must be read
to the board a second time and
approved again by a two-thirds
vote. It will be re-read at a meet
ing next Wednesday 'night.
Byers began the lengthy debate
by asking the "veteran members
on the board to forget past argu
ments." A similar amendment
was defeated by the board last
December.
Byers said the amendment
does not make a "puppet" of the
AIM president and does not
restrict him in any way except
that he cannot vote against the
wishes of the board.
"No one man," said Byers„ "can
make the decisions for 6500."
Charles Bartholomew, president
of Town Independent Men, spoke'
against the amendment, saying'
that "a truly representative de
mocracy is not always the best
way because the majority is not
always well informed. We are
taking away the AIM president's
voting powers and going against
every concept of representative
government that I have ever
known."
William B. Crafts, assistant to
the dean of men and adviser to
the board, when asked for his
opinion- of the amendment • said,
"It (the amendment) is entirely
undemocratic- and is not an ex
pression of (the AIM president's)
abilities as president."
Carl 'Smith, AIM vice presi
dent, stated that others have at
tempted to influence the AIM
-president in the past and. that
they - often , have not" made up
their own minds .on how to vote.
The board repeatedly became
embroiled in parliamentary con
troversies. At several points it
was not clear just who had the
floor,
When a Motion was made to
limit debate because of the late
ness of the 'hour and the_ amount
6f work still to be accomplished
(it Was then about '10:15 p.m, and
the board' was , still on committee
reports), there was some objection
voiced.
Edward Frymoyer, AIM pres
ident, called for a vote on the
motion to limit .debate. " After
the voice vote a division was
called, but Frymoyer refused
to recognize the division.
James Goodwin, a member , of
the board, attempted to get the!
floor, but Frymoyer went ahead
with the vote on the amendment.
Goodwin continued to attempt (
to get Frymoyer's attention. At
length- he • was recognized, but!
Frymoyer refused to hear his ob
jection.
At this point Byers stood up
and urged the board to "drop itsl
present attitude." Frymoyer
ed and the motion to limit debate
was passed 11-4. „
After the amendment w a al
passed the board disposed of its
remaining agenda in 30 minutes.
cember,jn the wake of the Soviet
[ Sputnik, launchings, some ,of the
15 NATO members seemed dis
posed to try out the summit idea
regardless.
The latest Soviet note, on sum
mit preparations created little stir
in the NATO Council. French For
eign Minister Christian Pineau
said it contained "absolutely no
new element."
U.S. Ambassador Lle w ell y rt
Thompson flew here' from , his
Moscow post with word of the So
viet Union's latest maneuvers.

pendent assessment of what For

clusion as the Americans the

Stays Quiet
On ROTC
By DENNY MALICK
Dean Harold K. Schilling of
the Graduate School and chairman
of the Senate Committee on Edu
cational Policy, refused to com
ment in an interview yesterday
on whether last week's veto by
the Liberal Arts faculty would
kill a plan to integrate a School
of Military Affairs into the LA
college.
The Liberal Arts faculty vetoed
the plan, drawn up by Schilling's
committee, and passed a substi
tute motion to "oppose all points
recommended by the committee
and especially the philosophy of
integration of the military into
the academic structure of the Uni
versity."
The Senate plan calls for a
School of Military Affairs and
Civil Defense to be integrated
within the Liberal Arts college
with a civilian coordinator as its
director.
The plan would coordinate "the
work Of various milltary'and civil
ian defense units on campus" un
der a University "civilian aca
demic officer."
Schilling also declined comment
on whether the Senate plan wbuld
come up before the May 29 meet
ing or what the next step of his
committee would be.
He said only that "I wouldn't
care to comment on this right
now."
