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': Nixon con ers with Harriman 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- pression that he will send an observer but I don't know who he will be or when he will come."

SPREADING MISERY': Norman asks researchcutack debates tenure' 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.

C 57 By MICHAEL THORYN 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.

The resolution states: "That UAC regards service to the stu- dent body as its first priority and personnel as its second with an understanding that UAC concen- trates on personnel problems such as selections, discriminatory prac- tices, decentralization and any other problems any other student wishes to bring up." The Union Board of Directors, the final governing body of UAC, criticized the executive council action at its meeting last night. Several members of the board in- dicated dissatisfaction with the statement because it seemed to place representation of minority groups in UAC as a secondary con- cern rather than a primary one. "I'd rather see the emphasis putj on the other end," said Prof. Richard Balshizer of the chemical engineering department.

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 i , r E(3 f i C ti f 'Uwarns students* of cheating penalties By HENRY GRIX alteration of election or drop-add With only five days until final cards. examinations begin, the Admin- The board hopes instances of istrative Board of the literary col- dishonesty will be brought before lege is "helping to defend the their special cheating panel, rath- public morality by assuring inno- er than handled by the individual cents that cheating doesn't pay." instructors who "ought not to be Penalties for cheating vary, but prosecutor, judge, and jury." can rangefrom indefinite suspen- The panel's investigations are sion to temporary probation to a kept on file with the ad board re- failing grade to exnulsion cords and are made available to - .~, .
