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. Facilities at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital and Eloise County Hos- pital were used under the super- vision of WSU and University nounced that the proposed "Col- number of physicians. faculty What's New at 764-1817 Legislature To Probe Hotline 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. I * * * * 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." Long Distance 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.

Fred Yoder, leadership training staff administrator for the na- tional organization of Sigma Chi, said that representatives at the Denver convention this summer discussed granting chapters local autonomy, and most seemed to be against it.

John Tulp, president of Brown's Sigma Chi chapter, said that his fraternity was complying with the Crary Committee directive to be- come a local fraternity because it values a "close and friendly con- nection with the university" He said however that breaking with the national organization was not "a preferred thing." Charges Interest Rep. Faxon Announces . .Investigation Education Committee 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.
