, 47 approved it. The main
blem here was getting the
lots to the voters.
fccording to Rison, Wednes-
;'s turnout was one of the
lest in recent years with
largest number of votes
lg cast on Proposal "A".
Rison's Campaign
[he proposal  originated   as
of Rison's  campaign - to
garner support for student representation on the Screening
Committee.
Rison's request for representation was flatly refused- at
last week's Board of Trustees
meeting.
Concerning Proposal "A"
Risfori said that while there
there'were no legally hinding
effects the Vote served as a
mandate from the students to
continue pursuing his position.
From here Rison said he
would go to .'the University
Senate Monday and to the
Board of Trustees Oct. 20 in
'pursuit of his goal to gain
student representation.
The project of combining
the four class constitutions
was begun last spring by Rison while he was president of
the junior, class. *
Outlawed by Kelley
A recent ruling by Attorney
General Frank Kelley that a
state university official may
not serve as an officer of a
private business dealing with
his school is expected to set
off a flurry of resignations
from positions in business by
university officials — including some at Central.
The presidents of Michigan
State University and the University of Michigan; John
Hannah and Harlan H. Hatcher, have resigned their positions as bank directors in response to the ruling.

Previously Men's Union
brought five concerts in the
Pop Concert Series, but last
year this incurred a $9,000 deficit.
Schneider said if money had
been lost on this concert, there
wouldn't be another concert
for several years.
CMU President, Judson W.
Foust, who is a director of the
Exchange Savings Bank, said
Wednesday that no CMU officials had seen copies of the
ruling yet and therefore had
taken no action at that time.
Foust Will Comply
"Obviously, I will comply
with the ruling," "but I want
to see it first. If I have a conflict of interests I will then
submit my resignation to the
bank at the next directors'
meeting."
Norvall C. Bovee, vice president of business and finance,
and a director of the Isabella
County State Bank, also indicated that he had not yet seen
the Attorney General's opinion, but that he would comply
with the ruling.
The ruling will also affect at
least one member of the Board
of Trustees, E. Allan Morrow,
who is a director of the Exchange Savings Bank.
CMU deals with both area
banks.
The ruling was made in response to questions posed by
Hannah, State Rep. Jack Faxon (D-Detroit) and Rep. Willi a m Hampton (R-Birming-
\ ham) concerning a conflict of
interest law passed in 1965.
Fairy Tales Can
Come True...

Life News Editor
You could almost hear her hum, "Fairy Tales can
come true, they can happen to you if you're YOUNG
-at heart."
Jill Young . . . Homecoming Queen for 1967.
The women of Alpha Chi Omega and the men of
Tau Kappa Epsilon formed a rink around her while she
and her escort, Mike, Duff ey, joined the members of
the court in the Queen's dance.
'I'm Tingling Inside"
"I'm tingling inside. I'm so happy that I've made
my sisters and the fraternity brothers proud."
Wednesday night was the climax of not weeks, but
months, of preparation, thought and worry.
Now Miss Young is no longer merely a sophomore
at Central.
She will, represent the school not only during the
Homecoming weekend, but also in the image that comes
with the title.
"I'll try to be myself, not try to set an example for
others because each person has their own individualism," she said.

Attorney General Rules On Constitutionality
Of 1965 Senate Investigation... Finally
by STEVE REED
Life Campus Editor
A ruling handed down this week by Michigan Attorney
General Frank Kelley says legislative investigations of state
colleges and universities may not go beyond matters relating
to the financial needs of the institution, unless the question
involved affects general problems of the community.
The opinion came in answer to a request by Senate Majority
Leader Emil Lockwood (R-St. Louis) for a ruling on the constitutionality of the 1965 Senate resolution creating a special legislative committee to investigate CMU faculty-administrative
relationships.
Kelley's ruling did not specifically state if the 1965 investigation was constitutional, saying the question is, moot since
the committee has already concluded the hearings without any
"timely objections."
'Good News'
President Judson W. Foust called the ruling "good news,"
but cornmented that it is "just '29 months too late."
Foust added that he is sure presidents of other state institutions are., happy that the ruling was made, "even if it took
two years."
He believes the ruling will prevent investigations of a
similar nature from happening again.
There "Were Objections
"There were timely objections," Foust said.
"Senator Vander Jagt objected during the first week (of
the investigation) and asked for a ruling. There were many-
times that they told us there would be a ruling within two
weeks.
If the investigation delves into internal matters like faculty-
administration relationships for legitimate purposes of determining an institution's financial requirements, then* the investigation
is constitutional, according to Kelley.
The stated concern of the 1965 investigation was faculty-
administrative relationships as related to appropriations and
expenditures. *
The probe ranged through many areas of the administration
of the University, giving rise to charges that appropriations and
expenditures were used to cover an intent to investigate areas .
protected from legislative intrusion.
Ruling Asked In May
Guy Vander Jagt, then state senator from Cadillac and
member of the investigative committee, asked Kelley for a
ruling on the constitutionality of the probe in May, 1965, before
the hearings got underway.
In December of the same year, when no ruling from the,
Attorney General, was forthcoming, the CMU Board of Trustees
petitioned the Michigan Court of Appeals for injunctive relief
from the investigation to prevent a. final report. They charged
that the investigation was unconstitutional,
The court ruled against the Board saying that the Trustees
did not take ". . . the proper method of relief." No ruling was
made on the constitutionality of the investigation.
After the court decision, Kelley decided not to rule on
Vander Jagt's requeslr-because, as the Attorney General's office
put it Wednesday, it was a moot point since .the court had
already considered the matter and refused to give Central relief.
