JUNE 26,1963 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PACHF JUNE 26, 1963' THE MICHIGAN DAILY iv~tlAJ &"it AMBERS, DAVIS SPEAK: ustitute Holds Conference on Education Haber Lectures on American Unions Costs Rise Faster Than Enrollment College and University operating costs rise at a faster rate than the number of students enrolled, Prof. Merritt M. Chambers of the department of higher education said today. Speaking before the Institute for College and University Ad- ministration, Prof. Chambers list- ed six reasons why this happened. "Step-ups in salaries, wages, fringe benefits and prices of es- sentialdsupplies occur each year," he said. New Programs The constant rise in the level of education and the need for new programs of research to keep up with economic and technologi- cal changes also raise the expense of educational institutions.- Prof. Chambers went on to note that large lecture sections, using modern teaching machinery such as close circuit television "cannot be dependedupon to reduce cost- the equipment is costly, requires space and maintenance, and can- not supplant the teacher. "Year round operation and other schemes for fuller use of college plants can temper slightly the need for capital outlays, but they bring larger operating costs and may even raise the unit costs for operation, especially during the early transition years," Prof. Chambers said. Advanced Standing As for honors programs, inde- pendent study and advanced standing programs, Prof. Cham- bers explained that although they were means of accelerating learn- ing, their operation costs were as much or more than conventional methods. "Enrollments in colleges and universities will be approximately doubled within about ten years. This expansion cannot be financ- ed by merely doubling the annual operating income of institutions," Cites 'Extra' Role EDUCATORS--Prof. James G. Miller (left) and Prof. Merritt M. Chambers were among those who addressed the Institute on College and University Administration. Jellema Notes Problem Of Faculty Recrutment Of Administration American colleges and univer- sities must assume "extra" re- sponsibilities for their foreign stu- dents, Prof. James M. Davis said today at the Institute on College and University Administration. Prof. Davis, who is director of the University's International Cen- ter, noted that in admitting a foreign student, "the institution assumes responsibilities that are broader and deeper than those which it accepts for American students." Parental Duties By law, the University must as- sume some parental duties toward the foreign student. Successful completion of the student's aca- demic goals can place additional requirements on an institution. "Concerns for the cross-cultural dimension entail extra services," he concluded. Prof. James G. Miller, director of theeMental Health Research Institute, noted the over-popula- tion of students as one of the greatest problems facing higher education. "Let us take advantage of all forms of automation of in- formation processing which are available to us. They can improbe the caliber of our education." New Methods Prof. Miller called for a reas- sessment of the role of teaching. Taped television lectures by lead- ing specialists can take the place of the present lecture system. Rote information can be given by the teaching machine. Students learn "the basic facts of the field" from these machines. The student should take objective exams. Ideal Situation Prof. Miller suggested that the ideal teaching situation might be to assemble four faculty members in a panel to meet with students who are expert in their field. The students will observe the profes- sors to see how they cope with their own problems of information overload. It will be an intellectual chess game. "We must master techniques for handling some matters in depth and others only superficially, but enough to see the connections. ZADAR, Yugoslavia - Unlike their counterparts in other na- tions, American labor unions do not have as their central goal the reorganization of the American economic system, Prof. William Haber, chairman of the economics department told a State Depart- ment-sponsored Seminar on Amer- ican Institutions, in Zadar, Yugo- slavia, recently. Prof. Haber said that instead of trying to reorganize the econ- omy, American unions w e r e "oriented" to what we loosely refer to as the private or free enterprise economy." "While seeking legislation de- signed to improve economic secur- ity of wage earners generally," he told the Yugoslav audience, Amer- ican unions "do not look to gov- ernment or to legislation as the major source of institutional change, nor for protection against technical change." Britton Urges Improvement In Instruction NEW HAVEN, Conn.-Publicly supported conservatories of music for children were advocated by Associate Music School Dean Allen P. Britton, Monday. Speaking at a Seminar on Music Education at Yale University, Prof. Britton said that "A nation such as ours should not plan to con- tinue indefinitely with the casual and informal system of music in- struction now available. Britton attacked the mainten- ance of high school music in- struction which seems to have for its purpose only the development of mechanical skills. "We need to restate the purposes of high school performing groups so they will be- come means to the study of sig- nificant musical literature," he added. High school courses in the his- tory, composition and analysis of music are necessary, Prof. Britton said. Prof. Britton also said every ef- fort should be made to "raise the prestige of music in the arts gen- erally. We should-work for federal support of opera, symphony or- chestras, conservatories of music and education of music teachers." u S- Except in certain situations, the unions do not urge governmental ownership of major industries. "They are not anti-capitalists nor against profits or the 'competitive system'," Prof. Haber said. Conservative Orientation By European standards, Ameri- can unions are conservative in their institutional orientation in addition to being skeptical and even suspicious of governmental intervention. But, Prof. Haber continued, "American unions are militant with respect to the basic issues which affect the economic lives of wage earners. Their demands are 'job-oriented.' They are put for- ward militantly as part of the col- lective bargaining process." They are fighting unions when neces- sary. In a number of American in- dustries, unions exercise a great amount of job control. "Their working rules have extended a large degree of protection against sudden changes in the nature of the job and to , conditions sur- rounding it," he said. In explaining the position of unions in the United States, Prof. Haber explained their compara- tively recent origins, coming to prominence only in the 1930's. Industrial Jurisprudence The most important contribu- tion of collective bargaining is "what one writer calls a system of industrial jurisprudence," he said. Despite recent decreases in un- ion membership, he saw no reason to suggest that American unions had reached their peak. "On the contrary, they are show- ing a resourcefulness which under favorable circumstances is likely to expand union membership in the distributative trades and white collar occupations. There have been historical per- iods in American trade unionism when growth was temporarily halt- ed, to. be resumed later when economic conditions improved. Prof. Haber believes that the country may be going through one of these periods right now. "Unlike their counterparts on the continent of Europe and in other countries, American unions have not supported an indepen- dent political labor party, he add- ed. However, "the failure to embark upon independent political action," should not be viewed as proof there are twice as many as there are now, the g income will have to be 3AN IZATION NOTICES The academic community as a whole has not given serious con- sideration to the problem of fac- ulty turnover, Prof. William W. Jellema said yesterday at the Cen- ter for the Study of Higher Edu- cation. "Since openings in the past were largely limited to replacements Steel Industry Faces Threat From Plastics By ROGER LANE Associated Press Business News Writer NEW YORK-One of the na- tion's leading research executives warned the steel industry recently that it faces a menace from plastics. Steel leaders were, counseled to step up basic and applied research to make sure that steel "becomes part of-and, not a casualty from -the materials revolution." The message came from Guy Suits, director of one of private industry's; largest and most highly regarded research talent pools. It came at a time when United States steelmakers, their profits shrinking, are fighting inroads made in their markets by imports from abroad and by rival mate- rials at home, including aluminum, glass and plastics. Suits said plastics, once con-! sidered novelty decorative mate- rials, rapidly are finding struc- tural uses of realconsequence, and give promise of great future ad- vances. "Although plastics have not yet taken over major structural parts of automobiles, their use is grow- ing rapidly in that industry, and meanwhile they have gone a long' way down the road in the case of home appliances," he said. Some new types of plastics ex- hibit impressive strength, impact strength and stiffness character- istics, and in certain applications are acquiring a competitive ad- vantage over very thin-rolled! steel, he said. By contrast, Suits said, metals research has lagged, with con- sumers doing more in this line than producers, although the pace lately has been picking up-not- ably in innovations in the steel- making process. and salaries were low, some pro- fessors actually discouraged their students from pursuing this ca- reer," Prof. Jellema said, in a speech to the Institute for College and University Administration. He noted that the demand for college teachers is increasing, and institutions and faculty recruit- ment officers leave few stones un- turned in their search for more teachers. Prof. Jellema noted the Michi- gan Scholars in College Teaching Program, which involves the Uni- versity and five private liberal arts colleges in the state.. "It seeks to locate promising college teach- ers among the ranks of early un- dergraduates. Earlier identifica- tion enables us to plan wisely a larger program and bridge some of the gaps that occur in a student's academic program." Prof. Jellema explained that the program permits a systematic ap- proach to some of the problems confronting higher education. .LS " vn".:.y". . . . . . . .:.L".. . . . . . .sJ*****.s****tV***- "r. . . ...... . . . . .

DIAL 8-6416 ENDS TONIGHT " "CLEO FROM 5 TO 7" THURSDAY GLORY TO PETER SELLERSI SIDES FR-OM L AUGHING!" California Revises Law On Teachers California has just established teaching standards more exacting than those so far required by any state for public education. From now on, the Christian Science Monitor reported, new Cal- ifornia teachers will become cre- dentialed only on the basis of be- ing thoroughly equipped to teach specific subjects. They may not teach in other fields. Acting under legislation passed by the 1961 legislature, the state board of education has effected a credentials reform described by board president Thomas Braden as "the greatest single advance Cali- fornia has ever made toward qual- ity education." Broadly Educated "The new pattern envisions teachers who are broadly educated in the liberal arts, thoroughly versed in the subjects they are to teach, and skilled in the art of transmitting knowledge." Under the new California policy, the emphasis will be on intellec- tual development, although the preparing teach may major in a non-academic subject. Back of this major shift in policy lies years of discussion, pro and con, over what really qualifies a teacher to serve California pub- lic education. Complete Dedication In a speech delivered at the 100th anniversary of the California Teachers Association, Prof. Fred- erick Mayer of the University of the Redlands called the goal of American education "a complete dedication to the arts and sciences, not as privileges for the few, but as imperatives and achievements of the many." Braden noted that with this policy, the board is seeking to reach this goal, and to ensure, as much as possible, that teachers themselves shall be profoundly educated for their task.
