Administrative insiders predict state legislators are in for
a shock later this month when the University unveils its operating
budget request for the 1966-67 fiscal year. The budget's total
is reported to be close to $70 million. That's more than $14 mil-
lion above what the Regents requested last year and over $18
million more than the Legislature appropriated. The figures
include money to support the final phase of transforming Flint
College into a four-year operation.
City Administrator Guy C. Larcom announced at last night's
City Council meeting that the developer of the new 26-story high-
rise, Peter Kleinpell, had approached him during the last week to
negotiate a better parkingspace agreement than the 33 per cent
now required. Such agreement would be beyond limitations set
up by the city permit and more in concurrment wit hthe recom-
mendations in the high-rise report.
Because of the developer's willingness to negotiate, he felt
that further proposals to bring the structure more in line with
such recommendations were unnecessary.
Also in regard to high rise, City Attorney Jacob Farnum sub-
mitted a report which stated in effect, that the fact that the
Council issues a permit to a developer does not mean that further
limitations beyond those stated in the permit cannot be demanded.

The joint committee of low cost housing decided last night
to be an independent organization welcoming any other organi-
zations on campus for backing. They also decided to separate
into small committee units to further investigate into the present
housing situation in Ann Arbor.
Construction of the ten-unit Cedar Bend housing complex
on North Campus is proceeding rapidly. The co-educational facili-
ties designed for 1,200 students is expected to be ready for
occupancy by next fall.
"Krapp's Last Tape," an avant-garde play by Samuel
Beckett, will be added to Archibald MacLeish's "Herakles" in a
double bill in the forthcoming 1965 Fall Festival in Ann Arbor,
Sept. 28 to Nov. 14, sponsored by the University's Professional
Theatre Program. Beckett's play was described by critics as
4 "fascinating theatre of the absurd." Donald Moffat who played
a leading role in "War and Peace" last fall, will star.
One-hundred-seventy freshmen-30 fewer than originally ex-
pected-began attending class at the University's Flint College
branch yesterday. Largely because of the new freshmen, enroll-
ment at the formerly junior-senior branch is now at a record
high 832. The school's future, however, is still up in the air: al-
though the State Board of Education recommended last April
that no freshman classes be enrolled after this year and that the
branch itself soon be replaced by an independent foui-year in-
stitution, sources have indicated that the University would
rather continue admitting freshmen so that a smooth transi-
tion from the branch to the new school can take place.

The Ypsilanti Greek -Theater has engaged two Greek com-
posers to write original music for the classical productions of the
theater: Manos Hadjidakis, composer of the score for the film,
"Never on Sunday," and Iannis Xenakias, noted for his
experimental music. Hadjidakis will write the scores for the
Greek comedies, and Xenakias for the tragedies. In addition,
Alexis Soiomos, artistic director, predicted that the theater
would probably be commissioning new translations of the Greek,
since most of the present translations are too academically
oriented.

Pakistan- Aid
Program
Nine Nations Plan
To Commit Resources
For Nation's Progress
WASHINGTON (P) -'Secretary
of State Dean Rusk advised Com-
munist China yesterday to keep
out of the India-Pakistan con-
flict' and let the UN Security
Council settle the undeclared war
over Kashmir.
A State Department spokesman
also strongly indicated the United
States will hold up a new eco-
nomic aid program of about $250
million to Pakistan as'long as the
shooting continues.
Nine nations including the
United States are scheduled to
meet with the World Bank Sept.
23 to pool resources they are will-
ing to commit in support of Pakis-
tan's economic development.
Seeking To Explore
Rusk, speaking to newsmen after
a closed, hour-long meeting with
the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee, expressed the view
that Communist China has been
fishing in troubled waters in seek-
ing to exploit the India-Pakistan
fighting.
"Our own advice to Peking
would be to stay out and let the
Security Council settle it," he
said.
Noting that the UN Security
Council, including the Soviet Un-
ion, was unanimous in calling for
a cease-fire, Rusk said he thinks
the Soviet attitude has been help-
ful thus far.
In Moscow
And in Moscow, a statement
distributed by the government
news agency Tass seemed to be
taking Communist China to task
because it has sided with Pakis-
tan, and raised once more the
threat of new hostilities along the
Chinese-Indian border in the Hi-
malayas.
It also accused the United States
of exploiting the fighting over
Kashmir to distract attention
from the war in Viet Nam.
"There are, however, forces
which seek to profit by the wor-
sened Indian-Pakistani relations,"
the statement declared. "By their
incendiary statements they push
them toward the further aggra-
vation of the military conflict."
In Pakistan a report said the
ambassador had succeeded in re-
moving obstacles to the evacula-
tion of Americans from Pakistan
after a meeting with Z. A. Bhuttp,
Pakistani foreign minister. An air-
lift was expected to begin by mid-
week..

,Meets with

Little Progress Made
On Cease-Fire Plan
During Discussions
NEW DELHI (W)-United Na-
ions Secretary-General U Thant's
mission to end the fighting be-
tween India and Pakistan appear-
ed stymied last 'night and there
were signs he ' would seek help
from world powers.
Reports of victories in the field
hardened India's stand on its
terms for a" cease-fire. Pakistan
voiced similar claims of victory on
the western front around Lahore
and Sialkot in Pakistan. It showed
no willingness to compromise.
Thant met with Foreign Minis-
ter Swaran Singh and later met
privately with the Soviet charge
d'affaires in New Delhi, Alexei A.
Rodionov. A UN spokesman said
they discussed the possibility of
Thant's return to UN headquarters
in New York by way of Moscow.
OnlyChange Planes
While UN officials said this
would be only a stop to change
planes, there were reports Thant
.wanted to see Premier Alexei N.
Kosygin.
A short time after Thant met
with the Soviet envoy, word
reached New Delhi of a new Soviet
appeal for ap end to the fighting.
A Soviet statement carried by
the government news agency Tass
said the Soviet Union is seriously
alarmed by the hostilities and
voiced fear that it might involve
the entire world.
The Soviet statement appeared
to be aimed at Communist China,
which supports Pakistan and
once again has raised fears of a
renewal of the 1962 border con-
flict between India and China.
Indian officials privately ac-
knowledged that if anything could
force an end to the conflict it
would be pressure by the Soviet
Union and other powers, especially
the United States and Britain.
The United States has contrib-
uted more than $6 billion to In-
dia's economic development since
1951.
Any threat to cut off this eco-
nomic assistance--military aid al-
ready has been stopped-would
bring great pressure on Prime
Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri.
Shastri did not meet Thant
Monday, but called into session
his full Cabinet and later its
emergency committee to discuss
his meeting with the secretary-
general Sunday.
Compromise
It was clear that a show of
compromise by Shastri could ser-
ious~ly jeopardize his political fu-

Prof. Irving Louis Horowitz, not-
ed sociologist and author of books
on counter-insurgency, radicalism
and the implementation of so-
ciology in underdeveloped nations,
spoke yesterday of the "crisis in
the system of sociology" created
by "Project Camelot," a now de-
funct program financed by the De-
fense Department.
The program was designed to
study the nature of insurgency
and counter-insurgency in under-
developed nations.

It was begun in 1964, and was
disbanded recently because of
charges by social scientists and
the government of Chile that the
federal government was attempt-
ing to use them as "spies" in
Latin America.,
Horowitz, who is at the Univer-
sity for the International Confer-
ence on Alternative Perspectives
on South Viet Nam, spoke at a
sociology colloquium on the im-
plications of "Project Camelot" on
sociology. .
. The general purposes of the
project-as stated in a memo that

solicited participation by promi-
nent sociologists and social psy-
chologists-were to offer opportu-
nities to participants to predict
and control conditions leading to
"internal war" (i.e., social revolu-
tions) in various countries. and to
identify actions which a govern-
ment could take to undercut the
elements supporting these views.
"Camelot" was oriented towards
Latin American nations, the memo
said, and foresaw the establish-
ment of a field office somewhere
in South America.
The memo was sent to approxi-

mately 25 experts on Latin Amer-
ican society. It discussed the Unit-
ed States Army's "positive role"
working "against insurgency" and
"for progress" in underdeveloped
nations. It emphasized actions de-
signed to reduce "sources of qis-
satisfaction" in these nations.
Horowitz said he was one of
the few people, and the only one
of the nation's approximately 7,-
000 sociologists, to attempt to in-
vestigate what had gone on in the
program and why it had stopped.,
This he considered a sad commen-
tary on his fellow sociologists.
Horowitz expressed concern for
the future of sociology and social
science research generally because
of several aspects of the "Came-
lot" program. For example, the
project was using the largest
amount of money ever expended
on a sociology program. Horowitz
saw this as a possible avenue
leading to further and more direct
federal control over research work.
As one aspect of the program,
its directors offered $2000 to social
scientists to participate in a pro-
gram covering several weeks in
the summer. Many of those at-
tending, or asked to attend, were
from Latin American nations,
