LXXVII, No. 45S ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, JULY 13, 1967 SEVEN CENTS FOUR PAGES I U Regents To Set I Levels Within Oi By LAURENCE MEDOW Co-Editor Daily News Analysis The effect of the University's low state appropriation figure on tuition rates will be determined at a special meeting of the Regents Saturday or early next week. Vice-President for University Relations Michael Raddock ex- plained that the exact date of the meeting depends on how soon the Regents can get together and how fast University accountants can compile budget statistics based on the state's appropriation of $59.1 million. The state appropriation repre- sents a deficit of $4.7 million from a minimum University operating budget of $83.2 million, which in- cludes student fees and a small amount of other revenues. The Legislature figures the University can make up the difference with an increase in out-of-state tuition of about $650 a year. But the state appropriation is based only on the minimum nec- essary to maintain current pro- grams and cover enrollment in- creases. The University's origin- al request for state funds was $74.4 million, an increase of $16.5 million over last year's figure of $58.1 million. Included was an es- nscrease ze Week timated $5.9 million to cover in- creased costs for existing programs and an estimated 6.2 per cent en- rollment increase to bring total enrollment to 38,307. The remaining $10.6 million was to cover faculty and staff salary increases and other areas that have suffered as a result of low state appropriations over the last five or six years. The $4.7 million deficit this year points to an average tuition hike of about $122 a year per student, in-state and out-state, just to maintain current levels of University operation. To make up the other $10.6 million would mean approximately $280 a year more out of student pockets. The Regents will meet when the administration has determin- ed its recommedations for pro- gram cuts and salary increases. They will decide, within a week, on the level of the tuition hike and approve an operating budget for fiscal 1967-68. The proportion of the burden of providing the additional revenue that falls on in-state and out-of- state students is also up to the Regents. Executive Vice President Marvin L. Niehuss explained last night that although the Legisla- ture recommends a large out-state fee increase, "they can't tell us how to charge to raise the money. we need." Vice President for Academic Af- fairs Allan F. Smith said "I don't think tuition will go high enough to discourage out-of-state stu- dents." } h. Lowest Increase In Recent Years Appropriation Bill Includes Freeze On Enrollment of Out-State Students By WALLACE IMMEN An appropriation for the University of $59,160,998 for 1967-68 was approved by both houses of the state Legislature yesterday afternoon. It represents the lowest percentage of increase over last year given to any school on the higher education budget. The figure is $1 million higher than last year's $58.1 million appropriation, but falls short of the figure recom- mended by Gov. George Romney and the House of Represen- tatives by $3.1 million. It represents $4.7 million less, when added to all other revenues, than the $83.2 million necessary to continue exist- ing University programs at their present levels for next year, according to statistics filed with the original budget re- quest. The amended version of the bill indicated the balance should be made up with reve-< Smith Calls Appropriations Inadequate for 'U' Needs By LUCY KENNEDY "The appropriation from the state will be woefully inadequate, but we will have to provide for some faculty salary' increase," Vice-President for Academic Af- fairs Allan Smith commented last night. "We can't approach the 10 per cent increase we originally asked for, but highest priority will be given to higher faculty salaries perhaps from a tuition increase. Prof. Peter Bauland of the Eng- lish department, who is associated with the American Association of University Professors commented, "This budget makes things very grim. Salary wise, we could start to slip out of the league we play in with another year like this. Committments have all ready been made for new professor's salaries -the existing professors are the ones that don't know what they'll be getting. "Our rating as far as salary could go down nationally," he commented," and we could become more vulnerable to loss of our pro- fessors. However, money alone will not cause a man to leave. Space, clerical help, and good students are inducements to teach at a school as much as money is." Dean Gordon Van Wylen of the Engineering College, said, "With- out the resources of a larger bud- get, we can't move into new areas we should such as computer tech- nology,' space research, or ocean engineering. Right now we're handicapped by lack of equipment -it will be more of a problem now. Another year like this would be devastating." Prof. Wilbert McKeachie, chair- man- of the psychology depart- ment, also said that clerical help was the worst shortage in his de- partment now and any cut would be "terrible." President designate of the Uni- versity Robben Fleming said he was not familiar enough with our budget to comment on the effects of the low figure, although he had recently been through the same thing in Wisconsin. "I am very disappointed about it," he said. Associate Dean James Robert- son of the literary college, who is director of the Residential Col- lege, said he thought the Resi- dential College won't suffer from the state appropriation this year. But, he added, "Now that there is a better tax base, the state of Michigan could have supported the University with more confidence and generosity." -Daily-Thomas R.

Sesquicentennial Guest Say Colleges Isolated NE WS WIRE ! E 7 C" I" A By JIM FORSYTH The modern university is be- coming increasingly isolated from the external world, according to Melvin Lasky, editor of the mag- azine "Encounter" and a speaker at yesterday's opening session of Sesquicentennial Conference on "The University and the Body Politic." "I have the picture of a young man coming to a quadrangle to register and thus abandoning all else, never to see the outside world again," Lasky said. His speech concerned aspects of "The Role of the University in Cultural Development," the theme of a lecture and panel discussion at Rackham Auditorium. Other par- ticipants were Roger Stevens, chairman of the National Council on the Arts and Moderator Nor- man Cousins, editor of "The Sat- urday Review." Hatcher Opens Session Lasky ended with a warning I to universities against such iso- lation from the outside world, and the hope that this academic iso- lation will not continue to grow. Stevens said the universities' role in cultural development is crucial, and that, unfortunately, they have been less successful than they might have been in this field. Stevens gave some of the blame for the poor performance to the old or "pioneer" univer- sities. "This is not so much be- cause these institutions were anti- culture, as because they lacked academic freedom, which there- fore di'ove away the intelligen- sia," he said. "The old colleges were a disaster, the raivages of which we are still recovering from." These schools, according to Stevens, actively hampered the founding of new areas of study. He accused the schools of "mir- roring rather than forming" so- ciety's norms. He felt that since the instruction of the arts was not considered to be proper for a university at the turn of the cen- tury, reticence of schools to adopt change could only hamper artistic development in the present. nues from an increase in non- resident student fees. The amount is $16.3 million short of the original University request, which was designed to cover commitments for faculty salary increases and new program developments. No provisions for salary improvement or enrollment factors was included in any por- tion of the bill. A planning appropriation in- cluded on the bill for -a computer network linking the University, Wayne State University and Michigan State University, re- ceived .approval at its requested level of $200,000. An amendment to the budget bill also provides a freeze on non- resident enrollment in the schools at no more than five per cent of current enrollment percentage. A $600 penalty will be deducted from the appropriation for each student enrolled in excess of this figure under the amendment. The totals were approved yest- terday by both House and Senate following the compromise of a special Conference Committee. The figures are very close to re- vised figures approved by the Sen- ate before the passage of an in- come tax package which would raise $180 million in new revenues this year. It dulled a trend of yearly increases and was the smallest percentage increase for the University since 1958. the year- Senate Plans Meet Minor Opposition The three Senate members of the Higher Education Conference committee returned to Lansing yesterday afternoon, prepared for a tough fight with three three House members of the committee. Their plan was countered with a proposal which called for a re- turn to Romney's original request of $214 million. But the defense was half-hearted and the commit- tee reached agreement on figures which represented little comprom- ise from the Senate plan. The total bill came to $206 mil- lion and was placed on the Senate floor where it received only a few minutes of debate before being passed by the bare minimum ma- jority, 20-12. Rushed to the House floor, a storm of indignation was expected, but once again the debate was lim- ited to an hour and a half of fiery speeches, from supporters of the bill with very little rebutal. Rep. Jack Faxon (D-Detroit) led the attack with a 30-minute speech claiming that the House bill is no reasonable compromise.
