Acereidiing~
By L"N vaDESLICE
The Unyersity may leave f
field of high school accreditati
within a year or two.
Vice-President for Student A
fairs James A. Lewis said yeste
day that one or more meetin
will be. held in the "near futur
with state educators to determir
whether the University should co
tinue to accredit state hig
schools.,
The eetings will be called t
the University to hear opinionsc
public education officials, hig
school officials and representativ
from state colleges and universiti
on'transferring the accreditatic
service elsewhere.
Referred To Regents
The executive committee of th
Bureau of School Services, pre
ently in charge of accreditatio
will decide after the meetin
whether the University shoul
leave the field and will recon
mead action to the Regents.
The accreditation 'ervice woul
probably be transferred . to th
office of Mate Superintendan
of Public uction or a coopera
tive state committee, Lewis said
The University is "questionin
'very much" whether it ought t
continue to accredit high school
Lewis said; H.b pointed out th
only two states - Michigan an
CalifornIa-continue to have ui
versitles accredit high schools.
Cite Russell Report
arllier this year, the Russe
Report, surveying Michigan High
er Education, lead said that th
ftunction of high school accredita
tion should be transferred frox
the University.
It caU0d University accredita
tion a "vestigal remnant" of th,
times when high schools were con
aidered to be "branche~s" of th
University.
The Russell Report said th
pre nt arrangement was uncle
sireble because 1) the arrange
ment unfairly increases the budge
of the University, 2) it does no
provide assurance that the super
vision of the high schools will no
be operated from the narrow pon
of view of preparation for colleg
and 3) that the University or th
stato system of higher educatio
in general should not have to bea
the burden of ans ering criticism
that arise from accreditation deci
sions.
Visit School
The Bureau of School Service
visits approximately 150 to 201
schools per year, according t
Bureau Director Kent W, Leach.
The University has accredite
476 pf the 835 high schools in th
state.

'Music To Study By,
By CHARLAINE ACKERMAN
On an experimental basis, the Undergraduate Library will amplify
music throughout the second floor for six hours a week, scheduled to
begin by next semester, Mrs. Roberta C. Keniston, chief librarian,
announced yesterday.
"We have noticed that many students listen to records in the
Audio Room while studying other than music courses," Mrs. Keniston
said. "Since so many students en-

10 per cent.
No Revision Seen
"There will be no revision of
our budget as far as I'm con-
cerned," Smith declared.
However, he added, "We've got
to get salaries increased, and we'll
1 take this up at the board meeting.
If we're going to get good people
we've got to pay for them."
John A. Hannah, MSU presi-
dent, last week warned the board
that the school ranked ninth
among Big Ten institutions in the
area of professorial pay.
Union Protests Wages
The teachers' union, local 1310
of the Federation of Teachers
(AFL-CIO), protested against low
wages in a letter to Hannah.
The letter asked for a 20 per
cent boost in wages over ,each of
the next five years.
If all teaching salaries at MSU
were doubled by 1963, instructors
would receive between $10,000 and
$13,000; assistant professors $13,-
000 to $16,000; associate profes-
sors $16,000 to $19,000; and full
professors $19,000 and up.
The federation's secretary,Ken-
neth Macrorie, ankinstructor in
communications skills, pointed
out that football coach Duffy
Daugherty receives substantially
more than $20,000 a year, and ar-
gued that other salaries "should
be brought up to that level."
"Fairly Large" Segment
MSU Vice-President Thomas
Hamilton emphasized that the
federation represented a "fairly
large" segment of the faculty but
"does not speak officially for it."
At the same time he warned
that the school is in "immediate
trouble competitively" because of
low salaries.
Professors at MSU average $9,-
600 a year, compared to the $11,-
300 averaged by professors in Ann
Arbor.
"We are relatively worse off
now than at any time in recent
history," Hamilton said.
No Union Seen Here
Contacted last night, Marvin
L. Niehuss, University Vice-Presi-
dent and Dean of Faculties, said
he knew of no "teacher's union"
on this campus.
Niehuss said he did not feel the
legislature would appropriate a
20 per cent increase, because of
the state's financial problems. He
noted, however, that ten per cent
"seems to be a reasonable in-
crease."
In its budget for the 1959-60 fis-
cal year, the University has re-
quested an increase in teaching
salaries of about nine per cent.
None "Across the Board"
Niehuss explained the nine per
cent (representing slightly more
than three million dollars) would,
not be an "across the board" ap-
propriation.
If the University receives the
money, about five per cent would
go for selective increases on the
basis of merit, and about four per
cent for general increases, he said.

GENEVA - The West suggest-
ed to Russia yesterday the estab-
lishment of an international de-
tective fdrce free to go anywhere
-even into Red China -- to see
that any ban on nuclear weapon
tests is kept.
The United States and Britain
unveiled their plan by asking 13
questions to sound out the Rus-
sians.
Soviet sources said Russian
Delegate Semyon Tsarapkin "part-
ly answered some of the questions
raised;" Western informants said
he discussed the points rather
than giving any firm answers.
Striding from the two-hour
meeting,Ambassador James J.
Wadsworth told newsmen "we are
moving."
The Western document put for-
ward these views on a control or-
ganization:
All major nations -- including
Communist China - must parti-
cipate. Specific operating rules;
must be defined. The organization
must have unrestricted control of
some 180 observation posts scat-
tered around the world.1
The international personnel of'
these posts must have complete,
freedom of movement for on-the-
spot investigations without any
interference from the country in1
which they are located.

it might be pleasant to play music
on one floor of the building at
specified times during the week."
"The program involves no capi-
tal outlay," she noted, "as we
already have the equipment on
hand in the Audio Room. All it
requires is an adaptation of this
equipment so that records played
in the control room can be piped
out into the main room."
Use Classical Music
"Each day's program will be
carefully planned and announced:
beforehand," Mrs. Keniston ex-
plained. "The Audio Room staff
will select non-vocal, essentially
classical background music
The records will not be ,played
at~ concert pitch but at a level at
which students can either listen
carefully or study without distrac-
tion."
Noting that the Audio Room is
often crowded with students ful-
filling class assignments, Mrs.
Keniston offered the new plan as
an efficient way toaccommodate
in many interested students at one
time.
