University school

faces closure

Harvard

students

By NANCY LISAGOR
A proposal to close the University
School will be discussed before the
Regents this Thursday at a public hear-
ing where an irate b nd of parents and
some faculty are prepared to appear.
University School, a laboratory school
operated for about 300 students on a
tuition basis, was conceived as a re,
search and teaching facility for the edu-
cation school. The majority of the
pupils are the children of professors or
children who have problems in the pub-
lic school system.
However, University School has be-
come a financial burden to the educa-
tion school recently, and some faculty
and administrators'argue that it should
be shut down and the building on East
University turned over to the School of
Education for office and classroom
space.
On recommendation of a special, blue
ribbon study group, President Robben
W. Fleming is proposing that the school
be closed in two phases. Grades 7-9

would be closed immediately at the end
of this term, while lower grades would
remain open until the end of the 1969-
70 school year.
The blue ribbon report, prepared by
the Academy for Educational Develop-
ment, Inc., has recommended that "the
University close the laboratory school
as early as practicable but not later
than June 1970."
But a committee composed of mem-
bers of the University School's Parent-
Teachers Organization has protested
the closing of the school in a written
complaint to Fleming. Ojars Risgin, a
spokesman for the group, says the deci-
sion to close the school has been "ram-
rodded through administrative chan-
nels",without consultation with parents
and education school faculty or Univer-
sity School teachers.
Risgin said, "The decision should be
considered in depth to decide if the
school should be closed or not."
The parents of some of the pupils
have indicated that the Ann Arbor pub-

lie schools are net acceptable to them.
They argue also that the Ann Arbor
schools are already too crowded to
accommodate their children.
However, Ross says the closing would
have only slight impact on the public
school. "We have been advised by Sup-
erintendent of Schools W. Scott Wester-
man and Board of Education President
Joseph R. Julin that the junior high
pupils can be accommodated in the four
Ann Arbor junior high schools." he says.
Greenhills School. as well as St.
Thomas and St. Francis Catholic
schools have stated they can accommo-
date additional pupils at the junior high
level.
The parents have brought up the
arguments that the ;University School
offsets financially th4 education of mar-
ried students' children in the Ann Ar-
bor school system.
Wilbur J. Cohen, dean-designate of
the education school, has agreed that
the laboratory school concept has be-

come obsolete. He has said that con-
tinuation of University School would
burden modernization of the School of
Education's program, and that closing
the Laboratory School should be the
first step toward modernization.
Prof. Charles Lehmann. associate
dean of the education school, says,
"The executive committee has taken
action to concur with the recommenda-
tion that the school should be closed.
"If funds were available to make the
school an excellent research school, it
should be continued; but since there
are not enough funds, available re-
sources could be best used in other
ways."
The blue ribbon committee emphas-
ized in reaching their judgment that it
intended no criticism of the laboratory
school as an institution or of its faculty
as teachers. But the committee con-
cuded that the space and the resources
of the University School could be more
profitably used by the School of Educa-
tion for other activities.

The prospective increase in the
fiscal 1970 budget is balanced off,
in part, by a shrinkage in t h e
budget for fiscal 19F9, ending next
June 30.

Black students push recruitment

The Association of Black Soc-

Currently there are 26 black
