''~Botanist to Hea(' Regents Set Capital Outlay Need IU Research Pos G 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 any new strategic weapons sys- tems. Deployment of production units of the plane to the strategic air BULLETIN ROCHESTER (R) - A mob of Negroes and whites, estimated at about X00, dioted early today in a Negro section of Rochester and police ordered every avail- able man to the scene. Police said the disorder stem- med from efforts to arrest a Negro on a charge of public in- toxication. 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. and peace In Southeast Asia. Pn civil rights, he said he 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. More Funds The scientist is also represented in the building program. The Re- Candidates Find Accord WASHINGTON (IP) - President Lyndon B. Johnson and Republi- can presidential nominee Sen. Barry M. Goldwater (R-Ariz) conferred ; alone yesterday and agreed "racial tensions should be avoided" in the campaign ahead. White House Press Secretary George Reedy gave that account of their talk after Goldwater slip- ped in and out of the White House. "ThePresident met with Gold- water and reviewed the steps he had taken to avoid the incitement of racial tensions," Reedy said. Goldwater expressed his posi- tion, which was that racial ten- sions should be avoided. "Both agreed on this position." Reedy said both men reviewed gents are asking $275,000 for a 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.

Geoffrey Norman of the botany department to direct the University's $40 million research program. He will succeed Dean Ralph A. Sawyer as vice-president for research on Aug. 1. The 69-year-old Dean Sawyer is re- tiring from that post but will continue in his other position as dean of the graduate school until a successor can be selected. Prof. Norman, a nationally known scientist who is di- rector of the Botanical Gardens here, was hailed as "an ideal candidate for the post" by* Vice-President for Academic Affairs Roger W. Heyns. w>ter 4 The 59-year-old native of Eng- land will drop his teaching load but remain temporarily as direc- tor of the Botanical Gardens Will Guide Program In recommending the appoint- ment, Heyns told the Regents thatU Prof. Norman will "combine the experience, dedication and under- standing of research and education necessary to guide the University's research program." Prof. Norman was unavailable for comment. His appointment ended a nine-month search for a replacement to the nationally-re- nowned Sawyer. Stepping into Dean Sawyer's shoes, Prof. Norman will be tak- ing over a position created five VICE-PRESIDENT NORMAN years ago by the Regents.
