WEDNESDAY, JUNE 27, 1962 NIGHT EDITOR: CYNTHIA NEU Coordinating Council' Faces Challenge TWO WEEKS AGO, about 20 men from all over the state convened in Ann Arbor to thrash out some of the most crucial issues pres- sing down on higher education in Michigan. The group was the Coordinating Council for Higher Education, and from its meeting emerged the first step in what could be a revo- lution in the relationship between the colleges and the State Legislature, and in relations be- tween the colleges themselves. The council, composed of the president and a representative from the governing board for each of the 10 state-supported schools, faces and attempts to solve what can only be termed a most vexing problem: how to approach Legis- lators with a common set of operational figures and a common confidence in negotiating for appropriations, yet retain the t r a d t o n a 1 autonomy both in policy-making freedom from the Legislature and in each college's autonomy from each other. When the council approved a cooperative plan in graduate medical education two weeks ago, a healthy first step was taken in coming to grips with the basic problem. THE PROGRAM, which won't start until at least 1964, calls for coordination between the University and Michigan State and Wayne State Universities in the last two years of med- ical school instruction. Students seeking a doc- torate would remain at MSU for the entire four years, but students striving for medical degree would transfer to the University or WSU for the final semester of the first two years, then seek admission for their final two years at, in, or out of state colleges. This setup is interesting and important for a number of reasons. First of all, the council handled with considerable finesse traditional complaints by the Legislature on the construc- tion of new medical facilities. Legislators have in the past looked with much askance upon a third four-year medical school in the state, and have opposed MSU's plans for a two-year medical school for fears that it would grow into a four-year operation. Early this month, the Senate finally relented and allowed MSU to construct its Institute of Biology and Medical Science, although specific- ally restricting it to a two-year program. BUT THE NEW GRADUATE cooperative ed- ucation plan, while remaining within the letter of the Legislative decree, seems to possess most of the spirit of a four-year medical educa- tion. True enough, only the first two years of medical school, plus the non-clinical doctorate program, will be offered at MSU. But this course schedule is inexorably linked to the on- going four-year programs at the University and WSU, and whose net effect will be to increase the number of four-year graduates and to con- solidate and strengthen the facilities for a com- plete medical education program. The council's adroitness at countering the Legislative reluct- ance for medical school expansion should there- f re be noted. A second noteworthy feature of the coordin- ating group's decision was its square and un- Priorities WITH ITS USUAL MYOPIA, the state Senate agreed to raise legislative salaries $2,000 be- fore going home. Feeling like a pauper who just .inherited a substantial legacy, the Senate hav- ing approved a $76 million nuisance tax pack- age decided to spend some of the money-on themselves. There are many reasonable arguments for the pay raise-the increasing personal expense of lengthening legislative sessions and the de- sire to draw better men into the Legislature, to just name two of them-but the $280,000 spent could be used elsewhere for the betterment of the state. T'HIS MONEY, FOR EXAMPLE, could provide more bed space at the state's crowded mental hosnital. Or it could raise the salaries of the state's 280 top college and university professors $1000 and thereby retain them. The funds could also be used to provide 28 more welfare case workers in Wayne County, resulting in better use of state welfare aid to counties. The legislators certainly have a good case for increased pay. However, the needs of the state come first. It is a matter of priorities. -P.

At present, the state produces only 3.3 per cent of the nation's trained medical students, while possessing 4.4 per cent of its population. In 10 years, the state will have 4.9 percent of the country's population, with no immediate prospects for raising its total of medical graduates to a comparable figure. By 1975, the council's report said, Michigan will have to more than double its current total of 248 graduates to 539 if it is going to produce its fair share. THE COORDINATING COUNCIL therefore recommended that capital construction pro- grams at the University and WSU be started to expand medical education facilities, and reiter- ated a proposal (which has been made by four previous study groups) that the state authorize a third four-year medical school. Whether the action needed to alleviate the future crisis in medical training will be taken or not is of course up to the Legislature; but the council deserves commendation for its confrontation with the hard facts and the measures it out- lined to provide a sound basis for health education. Last, and most important of all, the council's proceedings and recommendations were made voluntarily. No Legislators or doctors' group pressured the council into making its study. Its decision was made on its own initiative, on the basis of what it considered were pertinent facts and trends, not by tricky behind-the-scenes politics or a belated, defensive response to out- side demands. . As Marvin L. Niehuss, University executive vice-president, has noted, the medical coordin- ation plan was the first concrete, implement- able decision which has come from the council, as the group has been in formal existence now for only five months. AND IT IS MOVING AHEAD in other crucial fronts. A council committee is attempting to formulate a uniform accounting procedure, so that for the first time budget requests from all schools will be made with a functional classification, thus replacing the non-compar- able hodgepodge of colleges' data which makes confusion rife in the Legislature. The council is also striving to consolidate further the ex- tension service programs undertaken through- out Michigan by the 10 state-supported schools. Given the council's brief existence, such pro- gress'is remarkable. But already there are at least two clear dangers in its operations. The first is the tendency to adopt a common policy on non-concrete issues. For instance, a committee was appointed at the last meeting to look into the possibilities of enscting a uniform stand t o w a r d s controversial (Communist) speakers. The issue is so complex that little more than exchange of information will prob- ably come out of the committee. But if a com- mon policy were to be adopted, it would be a great mistake. ACADEMIC FREEDOM is a lonely battle. It is something which each individual and each educational institution must ponder and decide for itself. It is too easy to hide behind a com- mon policy, too easy to make decisions upon an emotional matter by pointing to a previous binding decision, thus shirking the poignant human issues. There should be no common policy on speakers, as there is nothing in such matters which directly involves inter-university relations. The problem is one which each college must face separately, and the coodinating council should stick to functions (such as budget re- quests) which necessitate by their very nature cooperation among the state-supported uni- versities. A second danger is also implicit in the coun- cil: the larger schools are dominating the smaller ones. The only decision which has gone beyond the discussion stage has been the one on medical education, involving only the "big three" universities. Most of the work on uni- form accounting is also being done by business officials at the large universities. The director of the council's committee on extension services is Everett J. Soop, who is also the head of the University's program in this area. And, at the last meeting, discussion by representatives from the small schools was conspicuous mostly by its absence. BUT THIS IS PERHAPS not an overwhelming danger, for the very reason that the three large schools are in fact the dominating in- fluence on higher education in Michigan, in policy and in practice. Some representation is given to the community colleges, and voting power is distributed equally among the 10 schools. Hopefully, the small institution will take a more active role on the council in the future. Overall, the coordinating council is doing some vital work for Michigan's educational system. For if the colleges and universities don't solve their own problems, somebody else will do it for them., } University President Harlan Hatcher recently wrote, "The nation is watching to see what " And Whatsoever House I Enter (Excepting Those Participating In The Administration Medicare Plan)" 4 ( \ /0.*! / > ALGERIAN LIBERATION: PdIn (EDITOR'S NOTE - This is the first of a two-part series dealing. with the future of Algeria.) - By PHILIP SUTIN Daily Staff Writer SUNDAY the voters of Algeria will go to the polls to, in all likelihood, cut the country's ties with France. The vote for in- dependence will mark the victory of the FLN, the Algerian liberation movement, after eight years of deadly debilitating war. The voters will have three choices: 1) Full independence; 2) A commonwealth arrange- ment with France; or 3) Retention of the current status as a department of France. * * * THE OUTCOME is quite assured as the Moslem population, the ma- jority of Algeria's people, have long been behind the independ- ence movement. Only the most die- hard of the Europeans still active- ly favor the retention of Algeria's semi-colonial status as even the Secret Army Organization has abandoned the country to the Mos- lems. Sunday's vote climaxes the long struggle of Algeria's Moslems to gain full citizenship status in the land of their birth. The French have held Algeria more strenuously than any of her other colonies, considering it part of metropoli- tan France rather than a depend- ency. This sentiment made the Alger- ian War all the more bitter. The French, who had taken the land in 1830 after clearing the Barbary Coast pirates from the western Mediterranean, settled there. They developed the barren land into prosperous farms and cities and developed the minerals of the desert. After 130 years of resi- dence, the Frenchman of Algeria Rights "I BELIEVE that every right im- plies a responsibility; every op- portunity, an obligation; every possession, a duty." -John D.

Many had been drifters around the Mediterranean region. This was their home and they were passion- ately attached to it. Although there had been spor- adic insurrections previously, the Algerian War did not get under- way until Nov. 1, 1954 when the FLN attacked the army base of Tizi Ouzou. The war spread quick- ly and within two years the FLN had effective control of most rural areas. - However, the war in the cities and its immediately surrounding areas took on a bitter aspect. Both sides showed no scruples. The FLN shot unarmed civilians. The French army adopted Gestapo methods to fight such guerrilla action, setting up Algerian concentration camps from which many prisoners never returned. * * * AFTER the Algerian War drag- ged on for four years at the cost of $2 million a day, the army de- cided to take measures into its own hands. With the help of Al- gerian supporters and apathetic and divided Frenchmen, it brought down the inept Fourth Republic and installed Charles de Gaulle in its place, hoping that he would lead them to victory. But de Gaulle was a realist and a Frenchman. Shortly after his rise to power he began to make moves towards the only possible settlement - Algerian independ- ence. First he set up the French com- munity, a British commonwealth type of association of newly-freed French African and Asian colonies. Then through several referendums set up the self determination policy which will culminate in Sunday's vote. THIS was a radical change in policy that could not be easily ef- fected. But with the help of a new strong-executive government de- signed for himself and loyal sup- port of metropolitan France, de Gaulle managed to turn two Al- gerian army revolts to his own ad- vantage. In 1961 de Gaulle began secret negotiations with the FLN, either in France or Switzerland. The ne- gotiations were touchy, especially on the guarantees to Frenchmen in Algeria and the division of min- eral rights for oil discovered in the Sahara. Last March an agreement was reached and the long, bitter eight- year war was, for all practical pur- poses, over, * * * A PROVISIONAL EXECUTIVE, dominated by Moslems, was creat- ed to run Algeria until a self-de- termination referendum could be held. A Moslem police force was established to maintain order un- til the new government took over and the French army was phased out of the Algerian scene. But the European population re- fused to concur with these agree- ments. Extremist former army of- ficers and "pied-nors" with the sanction of the European popula- tion formed the Secret Army to disrupt the March agreements, and that having failed, to destroy Al- geria before the Moslems took the country over. Moslems were shot indiscrimin- ately, homes were shelled, and plastic bombs were exploded, but the Moslem population, knowing the victory was theirs, maintained their patience and the Secret Ar- my failed in its first mission. Now they are actively destroying the country and encouraging the Eu- ropeans to flee, hoping to turn Al- geria into a wasteland. In this mission the Secret Army is suc- ceeding. THUS THE MOSLEMS will in- herit a badly scarred country, both physically and psychologically next week. They will face the problem of turning a revolutionary move- ment into a stable country. Lastly, they must develop their underde- veloped land. The war is over, but the struggle is just beginning. TOMORROW The problems of an inde- pendent Algeria. War "WAR ON THE one hand is such a terrible, such an atrocious, thing, that no man, especially no Christian man, has the right to assume the responsibility of be- ginning it." .-Leo Tolstoi "Anna Karenina," 1875-1876 By MICHAEL HARRAH City Editor THE BILLY GRAHAM Greater Chicago Crusade has come to a close. In its course it drew hun- dreds of thousands of people, who jammed McCormick Place on Lake Michigan night after night. The final crowd overshot S o 1 d i e r Field's 100,000 capacity by quite a bit. Chicago indeed knows that Billy Graham has been in its midst, the question remains however: Has Chicago realized that the Lord has been there too? I doubt it. Oh, the good Rev. Graham is sincere enough. He assembles hundreds of singers into his gospel choir (over 3,000 at Soldier Field). A regular bucket brigade of min- isters hustle about assisting Rev. Graham. AND SPEAKING of buckets, the Crusade flunkies pass those freely through the crowd, hoping for contributions, of course. One member of the crusade even hawks Spiritual Survival Kits-a pocket- pack of 35 scripture readings that one can pull out for help in a pinch-reminiscent of a cache of chlorophyll mints for creeping halitosis. Everything costs m o n e y-the survival kits, the song books, even the salvation, and the wole cru- sade makes the pitch: dig deep, folks, so Billy can carry oil. In short, the Crusade is a breath-taking extravaganza. I t builds a feverish pitch, and the climax comes when Billy throws out his arms and asks the audience to come forward and repent. He- Billy-will facilitate it. SOMEHOW, amid all the spec- tacle, emotion and ginger-bread, th Lord's message got lost. When Billy Graham started out, he was selling the Lord. Salvation was his product, and he was God's ve- hicle. Now, though he is unaware of it and would repudiate it if he knew, the tables have turned. Billy Graham is selling himself, and he is using the Lord as a vehicle. The lure of his message is his own personality and not the word of theLord. It happens to any salesman- as he improves his technique, he becomes smoother. Soon he sells himself to his customers, and they buy him, wrapped up In whatever product he happens to be hawking. Religion is like any other pro- duct. It can be peddled like snake- bite remedy from the back of a medicine wagon or auctioned like an antique at a rummage sale.'But like any other product, there is a quality factor-a miserable piece of merchandise can be sold sim- DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN The Daily Official Bulletin is an official publication of The Univer- sity of Michigan for which The Michigan Daily assumes no editorial responsibility.

The people who troupe forward for salvation do so because Billy Graham has Im- pressed himself upon them, but the question is: Did he impress the Lord upon them at the same time? Or did they just get a bottle of snake-bite medicine? Did these lost souls find the Lord or did they just succumb to Bill Graham? Perhaps the question cannot be answered, but it is worth consid- ering. This crass commercializa- tion of the Lord (Spiritual Survial Kits, indeed) obliterates the Lord's message. His message is basically simple, but I fear the good Rev. Graham loses it in a sea of decor- ation and words. AS ONE COMES away from one of the meetings, he might well remark that he didn't feel too holy, more likely just stunned. The Lord doesn't need an ex- travaganza to make His point, just as one doesn't need surgery to ex- tract a splinter. Revival meetings serve their purpose, but Mr. Graham has become carried be- yond just revivals-his is a con- vention of no mean proportion and just simply defeats his pur- pose. LETTERS to the EDITOR . To the Editor: I WAS ELECTED to the Board in Control of Student Publications on the platform that I would at- tempt better communications be- tween the Board, the campus, and The Daily, and in so doing, slight- ly remove the campus slogan for The Daily, "71 Years of Editorial Irresponsibility." I have now found it necessary to resign due to my taking my junior year abroad. In my letter of resig- nation I supported the following points: 1) Appointment of Miehae1 Olinick, '63, to my vacated posi- tion; 2) Addition of the editors of The Daily and The Michiganens- ian to the voting membership of the Board; 3) Change in the status of the Vice-President in Charge of Stud- ent Affairs from a voting to a non-voting (ex-officio) member of the Board; and 4) Elimination of one of the two alumni members of the Board. IN MY OPINION, Mr. Olinick is the best qualified person for a position on the Board: he has worked three years on The Daily as a writer and is the present Editor. The addition of the editors to the Board would give at least a semblance of the communications so obviously lacking in the pres- ent structure. The editors also have closer and less formal con- tact with the publications staffs as a whole and could thus act as intermediaries and as spokesmen. The editors supposedly have the intelligence and stability to act as responsible Board members and would work towards the best inter- ests of their respective publica- tions. THE OFFICE of Student Affairs is under constant scrutiny by The Daily and is under heavy fire for any noticed mistakes. Any weaken- ing of this power would be a strong help to the OSA, since the lessening of controversy would en- hance public relations. The alumni members are also connected with newspapers, but their effectiveness is limited to ad- visory capacity-their knowledge of The Daily is limited to what they hear about it, having no first-hand experience with the paper for most of their careers. I can only hope that these mea- sures are supported by the Board and the Regents and duly enacted. -John F.
