Resign Positions
Mott, Jacobusse Cite 'Intolerable,
Crowded Teaching Conditions'
By JEFFREY GOODMAN
Two Eastern Michigan University English instructors have re-
signed due to "intolerable teaching conditions."
Stewart R. Mott and K. Don Jacobusse have claimed that due to
heavy teaching loads and overcrowded classrooms "we cannot do the
job we expect of ourselves, and so we hurt ourselves and our students."
Their resignation is indicative of growing dissatisfaction among
EMU faculty with the. classroom conditions created by insufficient

ANew Aircraft
A nnounced
By President
WASHINGTON MP) - President
Lyndon B. Johnson announced
yesterday development of a new
high speed plane which he said
would provide worldwide recon-
naissance ability.-
He told a news conference that
the new aircraft flies at three
times the speed of sound at al-
titudes above 80,000 feet with the
most m o d e r n reconnaissance
equipment,
The system will be used during
periods of hostilities and at other
times when potentially hostile
forces are confronted, he said.
Although he did not say so,
Johnson appeared to be answer-
ing Republican critics-including
Sen. Barry Goldwater (R-Ariz),
the GOP presidential nominee-
who have charged the Democratic
administration has not initiated

BULLETIN
ROCHESTER (R) - A mob of
Negroes and whites, estimated at
about X00, dioted early today in

force will begin soon after testing
in 1965, Johnson said.
He declared that actions from
the Communit north against
South Viet Nam "could provoke
a response;°' but he-said so far
as United States policy goes "we
seek no 'wider war."
In an obvious reference to a
proposal by French President
Charles de Gaulle, he noted that
the United States does not "be-
lieve in a conference call to ratify
terror."'
He said American policy on this
point is unchanged.
Johnson said the need is for the
Communists to carry out existing
agreements which, going back to
1954, provide for neutralization.

doesn't see how it can be removed
as a campaign issue 'in the presi-
dential campaign this year.
He said he intends to debate
the hard and serious issues in an
attempt to resolve them.
The question was raised whether
he intends to enter a pact with
Goldwater in which they would
agree not to make civil -rights an
issue.
Johnson said no, he had no such
plans, and added that after all
that's the purpose of political
campaigns.
Johnson also commented briefly
on a number of international
problems.
He said the United States has
constantly called for strengthen-
ing the free countries of Europe.
So no European country, he said,
should ever have to choose be-
tween its ties to Europe and its
ties to the United States.
funds, Prof. Hoover Jordan, chair-
man of EMU's English depart-
ment, said last night.
Dissatisfied Instructors
Mott mentioned at least three
other instructors whom he knows
are dissatisfied with EMU condi-
tions. He said that this feeling
"certainly exists among many
others."
"We need enormous additions
to our budget if we are to hire and
retain enough faculty to bring
teaching loads to acceptable levels
and control the size of our class-
es," Prof. Jordan said.
He noted that English instruc-
tors must teach 12 hours of class
a week, whereas instructors at the
University, Michigan State Uni-
versity and Wayne State Univer-
sity teach only nine. He also
pointed to a 35:1 student-teacher
ratio in EMU's English depart-
ment. The same ratio at the Uni-
versity is around 28:1, he said.
Won't Teach at EMU
"The crux of the matter is
whether we can offer sufficient
inducements to attract new staff.
We have been conducting an enor-
mous number of interviews for
new faculty, but most young men
won't teach here. They can get a
comparable salary here, but they
can certainly find better condi-
tions at larger state schools."
Mott and Jacobusse submitted
their letter of resignation to EMU
Regents and administration, Gov.
George Romney, the State Board
of Education and the Citizen's
("Blue Ribbon") Committee on
Higher Education. They mention-
ed teaching 40 students in some
classes and having to spend 80
hours a week to do a job that took
only 50 hours 15 years ago. Both
taught a total of 130 students last
year; they claimed the load 15
years ago was only 70.
Mott said even part-time in-
structors must spend 30-40 hours
a week to do their jobs properly,
while 20-25 hours should be suf-
ficient.
No Conferences, Reading
"We have no time, with so many
students, to correct papers, to
hold individual conferences or to
do the reading we must to remain
stimulating teachers. With so
many students in each class, lively
discussion with everyone joining
in is impossible," the letter stated.
Jordan said that similar condi-
tions exist at Northern, Central
and Western Michigan Universi-
ties, at Ferris State College and
other Michigan institutions. "The
bigger state schools have been able
to get ahead of these conditions
with large enough appropriations.
The problem is to take the smaller
schools and bring them into a
competitive position. This would
require a great deal more money
from the Legislature," he said.
Mott and Jacobusse issued a
direct appeal for such funds in
their letter. "Michigan is a rich
state. There is no reason why we
should not have the best system
of higher education in the coun-
try.
"The people of this state-not-
ably the state Legislature-must
awaken to the need for more am-
ple budgets for higher education
.if they expect to keep good teach-
ers and if they expect to produce
educated citizens," the letter said.
Jordan further noted the "enor-
mous growth at EMU. Two years
ago we had 6000 students; last
year there were 7400, and this year
we expect close to 10,000. Unless
we have money to expand our
staff, this growth can certainly
hurt us in terms of class load and
class size."
The Regents packed up and
sent off to Lansing yesterday a
$14 million request for construc-]
tion and remodelling funds in'
1965.
The University received $5.7
million this year.
The program for next year
seeks to build and maintain fa-
cilities for training potential doc-
tors, architects, residential college
students and scientists.
Expect Cuts
The $14 million program, sub-
mitted to the Regents by Vice
President for Business and Fi-
nance Wilbur K. Pierpont now
goes to the governor and Legis-
lature where it is expected to be
heavily slashed. The official pro-
gram will finally emerge from the
Legislature sometime next spring.
Specifically, the Regents are
asking for $6.3 million in general
education facilities and nearly $8
million for medical center facili-
ties, including remodelling. The
remaining $28,000 would go to-
ward construction on the Flint
campus.
To train potential doctors, the
construction r e q u e s t s include
nearly $7 million to continue workE
on the Medical Science Bldg.,
Unit II and the dentistry build-
ing. The program also solicits
money for a clinical care and
teaching facility and University
Hospital renovations.
High Choice
Hoping to start the residential
college by 1968, the Regents have
given high priority toaan under-
graduate classroom and office
building. Price tag: $2 million. The
building would actually be a clus-
ter of structures that could inter-
lock with dormitories. They will
be going up on the golf course site
at Fuller Rd. The clusters of dor-
mitories and academic units would
provide the "adaptability to new
educational principles" which the
residential college planners intend
for it.
They have envisionea a 1200-
s t u d e n t, self - enclosed eating,
studying and living complex sep-
arate from the literary college but
offering a liberal education.
For the potential architect, the
Regents have placed a $1.5 mil-
lion request to start construction
on a college of architecture and
design building which would go
out on North Campus. This build-
ing will cost the state $5.2 million
altogether, spread over a period of
several years.

"ThePresident met with Gold-
water and reviewed the steps he

Goldwater expressed his posi-

"Both agreed on this position."

Science Building Unit I, $200,000
for a math and computer center
and $175,000 for a chemistry
building.
It all adds up to $14.2 million.
Attached to this program request
is a projection of future plans
through the 1969 year. The total
cost for the five years surpasses
$100 million.
But a spokesman for the office
of business and finance concedes
that the University will be lucky
to get half that much over the
five year period.
The top priority items in the
program adopted yesterday are
the architecture building, the res-
idence college classroom building
and the two medical buildings.
University officials expect to
receive money for these projects.

The Regents yesterday chose Prof. A. Geoffrey Norman

He will succeed Dean Ralph A. Sawyer as vice-president

dean of the graduate school until a successor can be selected.
