With an increased demand for
physicians, a population affluent
enough to pay for medical serv-
ices and a yearly crop of pre-
medical students applying to
graduate institutions, the Ameri-
can medical education system has
not been able to either fill the
doctor shortage or accommodate
the many students wishing to en-
ter medical schools.
An increasingly populated Mich-
igan, with two medical schools,
has been faced with this problem
for several years. It has boosted
the facilities of both Wayne State
University's and the University's
medical schools, and it may soon
have a third school at Michigan
State University.
Recent controversy has centered
-round MSU's proposal to estab-
lish a "two-year medical school"
in East Lansing.
The proposed MSU "medical
school" will not offer a four year
program leading to an MD degree.
It will provide a two-year medical
program enabling a student to
complete medical training at an-
other institution. Michigan's' two
existing medical schools, unlike
the proposed MSU school, provide
conltinuous four-year instruction
culminating in the MD degree.
"Michigan State has long felt
that when a third medical school
comes, it should be here," said
John A. Hannah, MSU president,
in 1959. Though the school had
been considered for many years,
legislative planning and economic
limitations delayed the school's
opening.
Tomorrow the State Board of
Education will hold a public hear-
ing on the MSU medical school,
in Lansing. At the sessions, State
administrators will discuss the
proposals and implications of a
Michigan State medical school.
In recent months, the Gover-
nor's Blue Ribbon Committee on
Higher Education has suggested
that an MSU medical school not
be opened until enrollments at the
two existing schools were increas-
ed. Thus, MSU administrators
have directly opposed state offi-
cials.
However, the Michigan Medical
Society recently praised MSU ad-
ministrators for "effective plan-
ning and responsibility" in de-
veloping their medical school. The
MSU Board of Trustees establish-
ed the Institute of Biology and
Medicine in 1961 in preparation
for its proposed two-year medical
school.
The institute contains depart-
ments of anatomy, pharmacology,
patheology, microbiology and pub-
lic health, psysiology, biophysics,
zoology, biochemistry, anthropol-
ogy, sociology, and psychology.
MSU's proposed medical school
would be created from 11 existing
departments in the institute and
from a new department of medi-
cine. Studies would be correlated
with clinical training at Sparrow
Hospital in Lansing.
Funds contributed by govern-
ment agencies and private sources
for the establishment of the med-
ical school have reached over $5
million.
Preparations for the opening
were not completed by this fall,
and so, upon a recommendation
from the Association of American
Medical Colleges, MSU offered
the delay date for opening.
Last month, MSU officials an-
lege of Human Medicine" would
open in September, 1966.
Investigating committees h a v e
cited Michigan's gap in medical
education in the past. One report
said that, in order to maintain
1957-58's physician-population ra-
tio in 1975-76, it would be neces-
sary to increase the output of
Michigan medical schools by 3,600
a year.
At 1965, the half-way point in
the prediction, further facilities
appear to many to be needed if
this demand is to be fulfilled.
A special University committee
found that although Michigan
ranked seventh among states in
population, it ranked 23rd in total
Existing facilities thus appear
to some to have been used to max-
imum potential.
Current programs continue to
maximize potential facilities, but
may fail to fill the shortage of
Michigan medical school gradu-
ates. Tomorrow, the State Board of
Education will investigate whether
a medical school at MSU can ef-
ficiently decrease that shortage.
The University medical school,
ranked third largest in the nation,
has, in the past, worked with WSU
in co-operative training programs.

Voice' Political Party last bnight voted down a proposal for
support of the SDS draft protest program. This program, whose
aims were counseling for Coinscientious Objectors on- and off-
campus, and working for elective rather than selective service,
will again be presented to Voice after the executive committee
has considered the program more carefully.
The residential college student advisory committee decided
recently to augment its membership by two students, who may
be either undergraduates in the literary co'llege or graduate
students. Interested students should see Burton D. Thuma,
associate dean of the literary college and director of the resi-
dential college, in hisoffice at 1014 AngelltHall by Monday,
Nov. 1.
Only two people have so far registered to run 'for, Student
Government Council although about a. dozen candidates are
expected to run for the six open seats. Reach, a new student
organization, is expected to run four candidates, and Group,
another organization, is also planning to support four can-
didates. Registration closes at 5 p.m. this Friday.

The student senate at Central Michigan University adopted a
resolution which "censured and condemned the CMU board of
control for its part in the case of five professors who were denied
general salary increases by school officials." Oscar Oppenheimer,
one of the professors, charged that he and the others were
"fined" by the administration in an attempt to muzzle their,
criticism of university policy. None have received any valid
reason for their failure to receive the pay increases which were
granted to the rest of the faculty.

The Interfraternity Council executive committee moved last
night to recommend the elimination of present chaperone re-
quirements and replace them with the stipulation that two
undergraduate chapter officers be present at every registered
fraternity social function. It was also resolved that the executive
committee would "adopt a more rigorous approach to social
violations and commit itself to levying more severe penalties in
cases where such is deemed appropriate."

University President Harlan Hatcher's blue ribbon committee
on housing has completed the first draft of its report, according
to Lawrence Phillips, grad. Their last meeting will be held Nov. 5
at which time the committee will go over the report. "I feel, how-
ever," added Phillips, "that there will be no major changes. Not
long after Nov. 5 we will submit the report to President Hatcher
with an urging that it be made public.",
A campaign is now in progress to include a referendum vote
on whether the student body is in basic agreement with the
present government policy in Viet Nam with the next Student
Government Council ballot. Inter-Quadrangle Council is circulat-
ing petitions through the quadrangles and will set up a table on
the Diag Thursday to obtain the 1000 signatures necessary to call
for SGC action. The purpose of the vote is to determine if there
is a clear majority opinion on Viet Nam, and if so, how our
present policy fares, according to Lee Hornberger, president of
IQC.

To Hold Inquiry of
U'-UMI Relationship
By ROGER RAPOPORT
The State Legislature will in-
vestigate charges of conflict of
interest in the University's busi-
ness relationship with Regent E-
gene Power, Rep. Jack Faxon (D-
Detroit) announced last night.
Faxon, chairman of the House
subcommittee on higher educa-
' tion, said, "I have brought this
matter to the attention of the at-
torney general's office and the au-
ditor general's office for their
comment and suggstions."
"We expect they will report to
the subcommittee in about two
weeks,"'he said.
Executive Vice-President Mar-
vin Niehuss had no comment on
the impending investigation. Pres-
ident Harlan Hatcher is attend-
n.e i ing a convention in New York and
Daily-Robert Sheffield is not expected back until Thurs-
day. Regent Power left yesterday
his investigation on a six-week trip to the Far East.
Commenting upon a University
investigation of the relationship
of Power's firm, University Micro-
films, to the University, Faxon
said, "I don't feel a university
investigation is sufficient to main-
tain public confidence.
