Faculty members also expressed concern over the University's fi- nancial situation. Prof. Peter Bauland of the Eng- lish department, who is associat- ed with the American Association of University Professors, com- mented, "This budget makes things very grim. Salary wise, we could start to slip out of the league we play in with another year like this. Commitments have already been made for new pro- fessor's salaries-the existing pro- fessors are the ones that don't know what they'll be getting." "Our rating as far as salary could go down nationally," he commented, "and we could become more vulnerable to loss of our pro- fessors. However, money alone will not cause a man to leave. Space, clerical help, and good students are inducements to teach at a school as much as money is." Dean Gordon Van Wylen of the Engineering College, said "With out the resources of a larger bud- get, we can't move into new areas we should such as computer tech- nology, space research, or ocean engineering. Right now we're handicapped by lack of equipment -it will be more of a problem now. Another year like this would be devastating." Prof. Wilbert McKeachie, chair- man of the psychology depart- ment, also said that clerical help was the worst shortage in his de- partment now and any cut would be "terrible." President designate of the Uni- versity Robben Fleming said he was not familiar enough with our budget to comment on the effects of the low figure, although he has recently been through the same thing in Wisconsin. "I am very disappointed aboutl it," he said. Dean James Robertson of the literary college,-new director of the Residential C o11e g e, said he thought the Residential College won't suffer from the state appro- priation this year. But, he added, "Now that there is a better tax base, the state of Michigan could have supported the University with more confidence and generosity." Text of Hatcher's Recommendation It is recommended that the Regents authorize payment of the July 1967 payrolls and the continuation of other July op- erations, subject tothe final determination of all sources of revenue for 1967-68, including an adjustment of the student fee schedules. In considering the fee sched- ule changes, we intend to be sure that no University of Michigan student will be pre- vented from continuing his ed- ucation because of insufficient financial support.
