Financial Problems Hinder

By DAVID MANN
"The state of Michigan has not
kept pace with the total national
picture of higher education," ex-
plains Vice-President for Aca-
demic Affairs Allan F. Smith.
"Because of the Legislature's
small appropriation to the Uni-
versity this year, there will be
no - or very limited - recruit-
ing of new faculty for next year.
Until more money is available,
we can't spend it."
A university's reputation is
based on the quality and size of
its faculty. And recruitment is the
lifeblood of a faculty, compen-
sating for retirements, increases
in enrollment and "raiding"
from other colleges and univer-
sities.
In the past, the University has
actively engaged in advance re-
cruiting of new faculty members.
Following standard practice new
professors were recruited from
SGC

other university staffs and from
the annual crop of new PhD's
emerging from the nation's top
graduate schools.
The prime factor for a pro-
fessor in deciding at which school
to teach is salary. However, money
is only part of the question. It
may take an offer that is $5,000
above the salary a professor re-
ceives at another school to lure
him away. Many professors will
not come to the University for
only a larger salary.
The relative prestige of the edu-
cational institution, general sec-
tion of the country and atmo-
sphere of the city in which the:
school is located are also major
factors. Office space, staff, and
even the quality of the student
body may also be important fac-
tors.
In the past the Univesrsity has
had many of these factors work-1

Norman is confident about be-

that the psychology department
had been "remarkably fortunate"
not to lose more faculty mem-
bers than it has. Norman ex-
plains this is partially attribut-
able to the "very high staff morale
in the department. People really
like the University."
Prof. William B. Willcox, chair-
man of the history department,
says the same financial pinch is
being felt in his department that
is affecting recruiting plans for1

Student Government, Council
last night by a 7-5 vote abolished
all Student Vehicle Regulations
except those pertaining to bicycles,
SGC Administrative Vice-Presi-
dent Mike Davis, Grad, said, "This
means that any student-regard-
les of class year-may keep and
drive an automobile in the Ann
Arbor area without fear of pun-
ishment."
Vice-President for Student Af-
fairs Richard L. Cutler said, "The
Student Government Council does
not wipe out a Regents bylaw. I
guess we'll have to wait for the
Regents to do that before it's of-
ficial."
However, Davis and at-large
member Judy Greenberg, '68, com-
mented that "it is extremely
doubtful that the Regents' con-
stitutional authority to govern the
internal affairs of the University
can be extended to infringe upon
the legislative right to tax and
license. Therefore we are not doing
away with Regental authority,"
[they continued. "Rather, we are
refusing to join an almost cer-
tainly illegal extension of it."
Sources indicate that state At-
torney General Frank Kelley will
render an opinion on the issue in
the near future.
And Ken Mogill, '68, head of
the Student Traffic Court (STC)
observed, "STC will only recognize
rules made by the proper student
authority. In this case. SGC is
the proper student authority."
STC, a lower court of Joint
Judiciary Council, hears all cases
of alleged infractions of student
vehicle regulations. JJC has since
last April consistently refused to
enforce rules unless students have
passed them.
When SGC earlier this year
threw out the University Regula-
tions-of which student vehicle
regulations were a part-it incor-
porated the University's rules into
its own "upon condition of study."
At-large Council member Janis
Sorkin, '68, said "It is illegal ac-
cording to a state attorney gen-
eral's opinion for the University
to regulate traffic on streets it
doesn't own. The only way they
can get around this is by saying
they're regulating student con-
duct."
Neither Mogill nor Miss Sorkin
expects the number of cars on
campus to increase dramatically as
a result of SGC's move. Both ad-
mit that a parking problem will
ensue, although they feel the Uni-
versity will be able to solve it.
Mogill noted, "Enforcement In
the past has been so impractical
that there are many more cars
on campus illegally than the ad-
ministration is willing to admit.
Miss Sorkin pointed out that
"because of the new Fletcher
