Dave Sutherland, Plymouth
sophomore, was severely injured Wednesday night when
he fell from a second-floor
fire escape at the Theta Chi
fraternity house, 502' S. College.
Sutherland, who was transferred by ambulance to Ann
Arbor's St. Joseph Hospital
late Wednesday night, sustained a compression of the
mid-dorsal vertebrae.
Dr. Lionel Davis, of the Davis Clinic, said that Sutherland was paralized from the
mid-chest down. Although he
wasn't in critical condition
when he left the Clinic, Davis
said that his condition, could
become critical.
According to Dave Keilitz,
Theta Chi, the accident took
place while Sutherland and a
friend were taking a breather
from a weight-lifting session
in a room adjoining the fire
escape. '

There are no demonstrations scheduled by Negro student on campus to protest Mississippi Governor Ross Bar-
nett's civil rights speech Tuesday night, according to Sibyl
Shears, Detroit sophomore who along with Carolyn Beard,
Detroit freshman, represented
the negro students in a plan
ning   session  on   the   Barnett
appearance.
Barnett, along with Broadus
Butler of Wayne State University is scheduled to speak
Tuesday in the fieldhous witri
Barnett speaking at 7 p.im.
and Butler at approximately
8:30.
The program on civil rights
is the second in a series of
"Great Issues of Our Times"
sponsored by the Veterans'
Club. Working with the Vet's
on the Barnett-Butler program
are the Men's Union and the
University Center Program
Board. Q
Present plans call for a 10
minute intermission between
speakers and a 30 minute
question and answer session
following each man's presentation.
According to Wayne Sund-
berg, Vets' Club president,
there will be no debate between Barnett and Butler
since the governor refuses to
appear on the same platform
with Butler because he is a
negro.
Originally a panel was supposed to put questions to both
men,   but   Barnett   wants   no
else   on   the   stage   with
him, said Sundberg.
Instead of the proposed
panel there will be a committee of two students and two
faculty members who will receive written questions from
the audience. The committee
will sort the questions out and
give them to Wilbur Moore,
vice president of academic affairs, who will present them
to the speakers.
Miss Shears expressed her
disappointment by saying,
"We wanted to give to the
students the point of view of
the negro college student. We
wanted to speak for ourselves.
All 32 negro students will be
there. If the only way we can
get a question asked is by
writing it, then we shall write
it."
Miss Beard said she feard
many students would not remain to hear Dr. Butler speak.
She went on to say, "We want
to fight untruth with truth."
On the committee to sort,
out questions will be, Bernard
N. Meltzer, Sociology department head; William T. Bulger,
Jr., History department; Charles Collard, Hart senior and
James Turner, New York City
freshman.
The   questions   asked   must
Boss Barnett
be relevant to what the speaker says, Sundberg said.
The Veis' Club will pick
the governor up at Albion
College where he will speak
at 10 a.m. Tuesday. Barnett is
expected to arrive on campus
around 4 p.m. Butler is expected in around the same
time.
Dr. Moore said in reference
to Barnett's appearance, "We
are against any kind of segregation. While we recognize
Governor Barnett's right t o
speak, he does not lay down
our policy."
Richard J. Lichtenfelt, University Center director, said
he hoped students would realize the importance of the civil
rights question to the future
of every student.

Joseph Sweeney, student
body vice-president, made the
decision Tuesday not to accept
the credentials of Robert Burkett, student body treasurer,
as Preston Court senator.
' The question had been raised at Monday's Student Senate meeting of whether Burkett could assume his newly
appointed post as Preston
Court Senator and still serve
on the executive board.
Burkett was appointed b y
Preston Court to serve as their
representative because no-one
else was interested in the position. His right to sit on the
floor as a voting Senator was
challenged by James Bedore,
student body president, who
stated Burkett's Senatorial
position violated the principle
of separation of powers.
"I don't believe the executive board and legislative
branches should intermingle,"
said Bedore, "It has to be one
or the other but not both."
.   Bedore explained that Sen
ate controls the purse-strings
of the budget and since the
treasurer distributes funds
after Senate passage, the
treasurer should not have a
vote. Bedore stated that Burkett should either wait until
May 10 to assume his position
as Senator or resign his seat
as treasurer.
"I wouldn't have allowed
this to happen if I thought
there was a conflict," Burkett
explained, "I don't happen to
see a conflict." Burkett added
he would be willing to go a-
long with whatever decision
was made.
Sweeney stated this was
actually a very important
question, one that had never
arisen before and that a precedent needed to be set.
Since the student body vice-
president accepts the credentials of appointed Senators,
Sweeney suspended Burkett's
voting privilege for Monday's
meeting and promised to get
together  with  the  involved
parties to make a decision.
In his president's report,
Bedore expressed his unfavorable reaction to the Life headline concerning the previous
Senate meeting when his behavior in the Spring Elections
was discussed. He stated that
after talking with the principle debators he did not believe the question of ethics
was involved.
Bedore added the student
body president has a right and
probably a duty to state his
opinion on who would be best
suited to serve in student gov^-
ernment.
On a lighter note, Kent
France, junior class, introduced a motion that Senate appropriate funds to purchase
black socks for the security
police — the purchase not to
exceed three pair per person.
The motion was declared out
of order.
Senate approved the suggestion of Gene Ragland, sopho-
