loans are handled through the Ann Arbor Trust
Co. or the federal government."
J. A. Hauck, president of the Exchange Savings
Bank, felt there was no confMet of interest between
officials from Central and his bank.
"We have" to live by the law, but I doubt the
need of the law. I do not think there was a conflict of interest because of the nature of competition involved," he said.
Kelley Discriminates
J. Elmer Graham, president of. the Isabella
County State Bank, said the legislature and the
attorney general's ruhng employed discrimination
"when they.picked only a specific class such as
university officials."
"There are other people irf other phases such
as industry who also could have a conflict of interest. If it affects one, it should affect all," Graham
said.
Earlier last week the presidents of Michigan
State University and University of Michigan-resigned their positions as bank directors in response
to the ruhng.
Orphan's Drivel
ins
Today marks the start of the ninth annual
Korean Orphanage fond-raising drive on
Central's campus. This year's goal is set at
$5,000.
Since 1959, over $15,000 has been raised
for the support of 86 orphans at Mun San,
Korea. In previous years the money was
used to pay off the debt on the $1,500 sleeping quarters, food, CARE school kits, clothing and medical supplies.
In 1964, the orphanage, under the direction of Reverend Ed Moffet, purchased sixty-
acres of farm land, and the drive helps pay
this debt also. With the adoption of another
orphanage near communist North Korea,
housing 196 orphans, more money is needed,
especially for food.
Former CMU student Neil Kirwan, now
in Maryknoll, N.Y., originated the idea-of
supporting a foreign orphanage. Stationed
in Korea following the Korean War, Kirwan
realized the difficulty in re-building the war-
torn country and wanted to do something
to help.
As a member of Student Senate at CMU
in 1959, Kirwan suggested that a committee
be formed to "adopt" a Korean orphanage.
Arrangements were made by the American
Korean Foundation in New York.

Township Balks At Annexation
Central Michigan University's plans- to have
about 300 acres of land annexed by the city of
Mt. Pleasant may not be as simple a procedure
as it has proved to be in the past.
According to Larry Collins, Mt. Pleasant city
manager, annexation is a two-part process, getting
. Union Township to give, up the land and then
having the city accept it. "       ;
Board's Decision
Due to a decision by the Union Township
Board at last August's session, no more annexation
petitions "will be approved by resolution of the
Board. . •
Central's petition to the township is presently
being studied by the township attorney who will
decide whether it can be approved by resolution.
• According to John Verwey, Union Township
supervisor', if it is impossible to approve the annexation by resolution there are other means by
which land can be annexed.
Special Election
This would involve petitioning the county
Board of Supervisors to have a. special election
and let the people in the township make the decision as to annexation.
This, according to Verwey would probably be
done at the expense of the county and would cost
CMU only time and trouble.
The water and sewer system seems to be the
crux of the problem'. The reason for last August's
Township board decision is that the study and
implementation of their water and sewer system
might be hindered if land kept being annexed^
,; . ^ Water. Sewers -
According to Collins, "The most tangible advantage   of  annexation   (for  Central) 'would  be,
that water and sewer service can be used at in-
city rates."
The present friction between city and township
revolves around the water and sewage system,
of the Township.
A decision as to the ^'annexability" of Central's
land won't be made by the Township Board of
Supervisors until its next meeting Nov. 7, according to Verwey.
Collins stated that the petition will probably
be approved by the City Commission-by that time.
It is presently being looked at by the City Plan-*
ning Commission for their recommendation.
