This project began with a $10,000 allocation
by the Regents from undesigned $55M
funds.
Yet other than these projects, fund rais-
ing efforts have dropped into low gear.
Gone is the much publicized bandwagon
attack directed for specific goals. In its
place, the University has started a soft
sell effort aimed at individual donors.
"Basically, we can't go back to the same
people and .ask them for more support in
general," says Alan MacCarthy, director of
the University's Development Council.
"However, we'vs developed several good
leads during the $55M campaign that must
be followed up," he adds.
Figures are not available on the total
amount of funds raised since the end of
the campaign nor are any projections being
made on the expected yearly total.
In the past fiscal year (1967-68), gifts
and non-federal grants accounted for
$14,024,609 or 6.2 per cent of the total
University revenue. Foundation grants ac-
counted for the major portion of this total.
'No OBSERVER':

NEW YORK (R - After conferring with U.S. negotiator
W. Averill Harriman yesterday, President-elect Richard M.
Nixon announced he will not send an interim observer to the
Paris peace talks.
Harriman, however, emerged from the meeting before
the official announcement to tell newsmen: "I got the im-

he will be or when he will come."
However, Ronald L. Ziegler, Nixon's spokesman, said
Harriman apparently got the wrong impression, Ziegler is-

SPREADING MISERY':

By NADINE COHODAS
Student Government Council last night unanimously en-
dorsed the Ann Arbor rent strike for recognition of a Tenant's
Union as an agent to bargain with Ann Arbor landlords.
"The substantial support shown so far for the rent strike
is another indication of student disatisfaction with the entire
Ann Arbor housing situation," explained SGC President Mike
Koeneke.
He added the support "clearly demonstrates" that stu-
dents want "more influence and authority" in dealing with
their respective landlords. '-- - --

Vice-President for Research A.
Geoffrey Norman is, by his own
terms, currently in the business
of "spreading misery."
University researchers have
been successful in getting research
grants from the National Science
Foundation but a good number of
projects have not been sufficiently
funded. As a result, Norman has
requested that researchers at the
University cut down their spend-
ing.
Norman has also released a ten-
tative breakdown of the $62.3:
million expended for research in
fiscal 1968 and predicted that re-
search volume would be about
the same in fiscal 1969.
For the five years prior to fiscal
1968, research growth averaged
14 per cent a year. The increase in
fiscal 1968 was 4.2 per cent, bare-
ly keeping pace with inflation.
"Obviously, the growth rate
couldn't continue to be that
large," Norman said. "The Univer-
sity is not growing that fast."
The vice president now has lim-
ited space available for labora-
tory research in the physical sci-
ences. There also is an apparent
shift in research funding f r o m
physical to social sciences.
"This may shake a lot of peo-
ple," Norman said, "but the phy-
sical scientist is least well sup-
ported. For example, chemistry's'
grant total has not shifted in sev-
eral years."
Of the approximately $62.3 mil-
lion in research in fiscal 1968,
$48.3 million came from the fed-
eral government. Other major
supporters of University research
were foundations, health agencies
and private industry.
Norman attributed the drop in
DOD support to the switching of
some. projects to non-Defense
agencies and a drop in long-range
projects due to the pressures of
the Vietnam war.
Norman's job of getting support
and space for research projects
has been complicated by NSF's
movement into the social sciences.

Mott Hospital could appropriately claim,
"Babies are our business-our only business."
For Mott Hospital is the University's forth-
coming children's hospital. With completion
scheduled for the early summer of 1969, infants
and children will be treated there instead of at
the University Hospital.
Besides being "the core unit or the nucleus for
a children's medical center," according to Dr.
William Oliver, chairman of the pediatrics depart-
ment, physician-in-chief at Mott, the hospital will
also provide a training center for students in all
health disciplines, such as dietetics, nursing, and
funds for the hospital. The rest of the funds come
from federal grants of $1.5 million, University
Hospital Medical School which contributed
$600.000 and $250,000 in various gift donations.
Since the primary focus at the Hospital will
be childecare, the hospital hopes to attract a group
of experts who specialize in this field. This would
include pediatric surgeons, radiologists, optomo-
logists and others who work with specific child-
care programs.
One such program is the "neonatal intensive
care unit" which would be used to treat babies
with illnesses during the first month after birth.
Illnesses the intensive care unit can hope to pre-
vent, according to Oliver, include a respiratory
