Noting "surprise" at their dis missal, members of the committee said they felt they were treated unfairly. "We believe we had a right to write the letter and they believe we didn't," Stephanie Fiedler, vice chair man of the committee, said. "'hat's it in a nutshell." She said the action "was unfair. We do not believe that legally we had to submit the letter for ap proval." She said the group was appeal ing because "we want them to give us our jobs back." Barnes said the appeal would be based on the fact "that the policy (of Dec. 4) is outside their consti tutional jurisdiction." 'The policy, he said, is "illegal, invalid and not binding." The group's letter, dated March 17, voiced agreement with prin ciples of "autonomy and student responsibility" stated in a Decem ber letter by Ra Broaddus and Ralph Hall, former union president and vice president. Broaddus and Hall's criticisms led to an investigation of the union and to recommendations by a spe cial subcommittee against a Broad dus-Hall proposal of dividing the union into services and program. ming divisions. Broaddus and Hall Scuffles A Lead To By JIM WANNAMAKER Ast. Managing Editor Too much to drink appears to have led to several incidents be tween Negro and white students at a Un*versity Union (lance Satur day, according to a University spokesman. Two students were arrested for disorderly conduct and aggrava :ion. They posted bond. Another was arrested for dis orderly conduct and drunkenness. He posted bond after more than' four hours of confinement. The ar rests stemmedl from one incidlent. SCUFFLES The incidents were "fighting be-' tween some whites and b&cks," according to union gradluate assist ant Divver Martin. He said he saw~ two scuffles. Others rep)orted more.. Two Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission agents were at the' ys Con "Due to organization," he saidl, "the social, cultural and attitudinal needls of the state. TIhe committee' r-eport is to be made public today. gaps between them are increasing ly being narrow~ed." However, Galbraith notedl, orga ni-zation has not been without un desirable consequences. New tensions have arisen, he claimed. "Tfhis system of organiza tion," he explained. "has required the indlividlual to subordinate hima self to the industrial bureaucracy." Hlere, Galbraith cited the unrest on todlay's college campuses as an examp)le. "This conflict, which is particu larly acute in the United States, has appeared especially in the uni versities," he saidl. "The studlents a r e expressing their uneasiness at this organiza tional system. They are at odds with the order of the organization, its beliefs and its rules. And some times, they react quite indignantly. "The individual," he said, "seems to feel he is at the mercy of large nors mmitt subsequently resigned. The Lectures Committee then, in the letter, backed the former of. ficers, criticized the subcommittee and noted it would "regretfully re main" in the union. It added, how ever, "the Lectures Committee has not abandoned its beliefs, the revo lution for equivalent student con trol is not dead." Barnes said ie was notified by Miss Emens before the committee released its letter that it would con flict with the board of governors' policy. Miss Fiedler said that although the committee realized the policy existed, they felt they were within their rights in writing the letter. Miss Emens pointed out that she dismissed the group on directions from the board and said she fav ored a modification of the Dec. 4 policy. In writing the dismissal letter, she inserted a paragraph that "it is hoped that those students with a belief in the Lectures Committee and their program m a k e an appeal to the Board of Governors." If their appeal fails Wednesday, Barnes said, the group "will have to consider the matter further." The committee has sponsored lec turers including Pearl Buck and Ralph Nader this year, and orga nized and o p e r a t e s the short courses series. One member of the committee said their dismissal would prevent some of the short courses-still being or ganized-froni coming into being.

Galbiraith said, however, that he if Galbraith Votes eemen was organizing other programs fer this year and next year. Miss Emens said, however, that she would handle the committee's work until the group is reinstated or additional arrangements a r e made. Union committees are open and conmlittee membership varies, she said, but the 11 persons dismissed constituted nearly the total com mittee. They included Barnes, Miss Fied. ler, Judy Pearce, Ken Brown, Chick Gaddy, Danny Gilreath, Carlton Larmon, Mike Michaelski, Tristram Pough, Joe Sharnoff and Harr. Wright.
