LXXVII, No. 19S ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SATURDAY, MAY 27, 1967 SEVEN CENTS SIX PAG Enrollment Increases Plague World Universities By DAVID DUBOFF One of the most significant de- velopments in the field of educa- tion, both on the national and international scenes, has been the unprecedented increases in college and university enrollments. Figures released by the UN Ed- ucational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) show a worldwide increase of students in degree-granting institutions since '1950. For the world as a whole, the UNESCO figures showed, there were almost 15 million students enrolled in higher education in- stitutions in 1963, as compared to '6.5 million in 1950. This is more than twice the rate of increase in enrollment in elementary schools and is far greater than the rate of increase in adult literacy, which has also Nasser been moving upward at a rapid rate. A substantial amount of the rise in higher education enrollment is due to the entry of the newly- independent countries of Asia and' Africa for the first time to any notable extent. In Africa, for example, the en- rollment on the third level (every-" thing above high school) rose from 71,000 in 1950 to 245,000 in 1963, an increase of nearly 250 per cent. In Asia the enrollment in high- er educational institutions increas- ed during the same period from one million to three million. This figure does not even include Com- munist China. There have also been substantial rises in other areas of the world,. including North America and the Soviet Union. In North America the figure nearly doubled in the 13-year period, and in the Soviet arns Union it slightly more than dou- bled. The 10 countries granting the largest number of college and technical diplomas in 1963 were as follows: United States, 614.000; Soviet Union, 354,000; Communist China, 220,000; Japan, 185,700; In- dia, 179,000; United Kingdom, 74,- 000;' France, 71,000; West Ger- many, 58,000; Philippines, 53,000, and Canada, 29,000. Fields of study with the great- est number of students varied widely with the different countries. In many countries, for example, the largest number majored in the humanities or liberal arts, while in, others the emphasis was on teach- ers' courses, social sciences or medicine. In the United States, 155,000, or about one-fourth of all college degrees granted, were in the field of education, with social sciences Israel second and humanities third. In the Soviet Union, degrees in edu- cation were also first with indus- try and construction second and agriculture third. The results of a recent investi- gation conducted by the Interna- tional Association of University Information also reveals that the' United States has the highest per- centage of students in higher ed- ucation in proportion to popula- tion, or 2.5 per cent, representing about 5 million students. Next in line comes the Soviet Union with 1. 2per cent or 2.5 million students, followed by Aus- tralia and France. Great Britain has fallen to 0.5 per cent and Spain is at the bottom of the list with 0.3 per cent. Figures released by the U.S. Of- fice of Education earlier this year indicated that the U.S. college population will increase four times as fast as the national population during the coming decade. In its annual projection of school data, the office forsees a 12 per cent rise in the nation's population by 1975, while college enrollment is expected to jump 49 per cent. The gain in college enrollment was attributed to the higher birth{ rates in the late 1940's and 1950's as well as to the increasing pro- portion of high school graduates who go on to college. This increase in U.S. college en- rollment has caused a correspond- ing increase in the growth of new institutions of higher education. A study released last month by the U.S. Office of Education re- colleges, and 114 junior colleges and technical institutes *were created. "The continuing thrust to ex- tend educational opportunity, es- pecially through the junior college level, lends support to the prob- ability that the creation of new institutions is likely to continuea at a brisk pace." the report states. The study also points to the need for more faculty and staff as a result of the greater enroll- ment. Its study of 1,809 colleges and universities shows that they will need 199,138 full-time profes- sional staff from November 1963 through October 1969. This in- cludes 51,438 professional staff for replacements, and 147,700 for additions. jected a 61.1 per cent increase in He said that both the sups enrollment. and quality of teachers may "The disparity between these' improved in the years ahead, 1 two rates of increase seems to in- "nevertheless, it is likely that t dicate continued reliance on part- number of well-qualified perso time staff for a considerable pro- available for teaching positic portion of the workload," the re- will continue to be insufficient port said, "and it may indicate meet the demand in many subjE that the estimated needs for ad- fields through the 1970's." ditional full-time staff are some- The demand for qualified a what conservative."

SUMMER WORK: SHA Plans Action On Housing Supply Of Egypt's To Wage Readiness Total Wa~r' By The Associated Press President Gaml Abdel Nasser of Egypt declared yesterday if war comes, his country is poised for "total war" to destroy Israel. Israel was reported last night to have ordered its ships not to challenge the Egyptian blockade forbidding entry of Israeli ships and cargo through the Strait of Tiran into the Gulf of Aqaba. The Soviet Union meanwhile called on the United States and other Western powers to restrain Israel from a thrust against the Arabs. U.S., Israel Meeting President Johnson and Israeli Prime Minister Abba Eban con- ferred last night about the explo- sive state of the Middle East, but there was no immediate indication whether they had reached any decisions on policies or possible courses of action to head off an Israeli-Arab war. While President Johnson and Eban were conferring in Washing- ton, diplomatic sources at the United Nations said the Israeli government had told Israeli ships' they must not, for the present, try to run the blockade declared by Cairo. This closes Israel's normal line of oil supply from the Persian Gulf. Israeli ships are forbidden passages through Egypt's Suez Canal to Israeli Mediterranean ports. As for Nasser's announced blockade of the Tiran Strait, a West German freighter captain said he had sailed through the strait into the Gulf of Aqaba Fri- day and saw no, sign of any Egyptian blockade. Israel Blockade No Israeli ships have tried but other ships including this German ship have passed through en route to the Jordanian port of Aqaba, near Israel's port of Elath at the top of the gulf. Nasser said that "we knew that by closing the Gulf of Aqaba it might mean war with Israel." But he added: "We will not back down on our rights in the gulf." Three Arab nations -Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia - and Israel have outlets on that en- closed waterway. Nasser said that if war br oke out, "it will be total war and the { . objective will be to destroy Israel."

By WALTER SHAPIRO The Student Housing Association (SHA) is working this summer on several projects designed to in- crease the supply of housing in Ann Arbor and instill competition into what has been to date a sell- er's market, according to its chair- man, Tom Van Lente, '68. Van Lente said that SHA, a subcommittee of the SGC, was primarily involved in four proj- ects over the summer. Perhaps the largest project is the creation of a rating list for Ann Arbor landlords. This list would have comparisons in a va- riety of areas such as rent, apart- nent maintenance and damage de- posits. These ratings would be de- termined by analyzing three sourc- 3s of information; complaints re- ceived by the SHA, surveys of stu- dent opinion and objective facts such as the amount of the rent. Good Publicity Such a listing, Van Lente ex- plained, would provide good pub- licity from those at, the top of the list and blacklist those deemed unacceptable. He said that it would be likely that the Student Rental Union would organize boycotts of landlords called unacceptable. Such a boycott would be design- ed primarily to induce apartment owners, who rarely manage their own buildings, to change from un- acceptable to approved rental agents. The SHA is also concerned with 1 A Soviet spokesman called a rare news conference and said France's proposal for a Big Four peace effort "is being considered" in the Kremlin.

(1P) - Forty- six Stanford University faculty and staff members announced yes- terday they're out to stop the Vietnam War "through mass civil disobedience." The 46 signed a statement say- ing "We do not want to protest the war any longer; we want to stop it." "The form of actions will be non-violent civil disobedience in the spirit of Martin Luther King," Jay Neugeboren of the English department told a news confer- ence. He spoke of such things as try- ing to stop the Pentagon for a day, or disrupting military induc- tions or production at napalm plants, "More traditional forms of pro- test have failed," Barton J. Bern- stein of the history department told the news conference. "There is no other alternative than this civil disobedience open to us now," he said. Hadley Kirman of anatomy said he favors civil disobedience be- cause he feels the government is following a policy that will lead to World War III, "a nuclear war. It will change this planet from a liv- ing one to a dead one." The protesters said they hoped to spark a national disobedience movement against the Vietnam war. Their statement said the war "with deadly speed" is "out-es- escalating the protests" against it. They said they aren't certain that their civil disobedience will stop the war but "nothing less has any chance of stopping it." In response to questions of whether they are willing to go to jail for their actions, Bernstein said, "I'm afraid so," but "not with glee or joy or enthusiasm."

"You align with the three candidates who are saying the board is doing a poor job," Prakken told Godfrey. As the meeting began, Godfrey repeated complaints he has often made about the school system's re- lationship with the HRC. In re- cent weeks Godfrey has criticized the HRC for using what he has termed "entrapment tactics" in in- vestigating Ann Arbor High School's Cooperative Occupational Training Program (COT). Recently it was made public that staff members of the HRC had called the school under the guise of prospective employers.
