LXXVI, No. 117 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1966 SEVEN CENTS EIGHT PAGES Federal Research Funds Doubled in Five By DAVID KNOKE Scientific research funds from the federal government have dou- bled in the last five years and the outlook is for more financial sup- port of other areas of scholarship than the 'hard" sciences. This is the review and forecast made by National Science Foundation Di- rector Leland Haworth in the NSF's 15th Annual Report, releas- ed last week. Haworth noted that federal al- locations for research and develop- ment have increased from $8.1 bil- lion in 1960 to $16.1 billion in fis- cal 1965. The largest increase came in the category of basic research, which tripled while development funds did not quite double. Haworth said this was a signifi- cant shift in federal policy from the early 1950's when the major emphasis of government spending was for immediate, practical appli- cations of research in military de- fense, public health, conservation and industrial development. Haworth said that the passage last summer of an act creating a National Foundation for the Arts and Humanities indicates that the federal government is genuinely interested in increasing support for all levels of education in the United States. "There is no reason to believe that science will suffer by sharing the spotlight of federal support with other branches of scholar- ship. Rather, science can be ex- pected to prosper all the more as a climate more favorable to scho- larship in general is developed," wrote Haworth. The National Science Founda- tion was established in 1950 to raise the level of scientific re- search and education in the United States. The NSF, accord- ing to Haworth, plays a funda- mental role in the formation of a national science policy. Originally NSF concerned itself with studying, gathering -data and oublishing reports on government and non-governmental activities in science, attempting to build up a unified picture of scientific policy across the nation. Many of the policy-making du- ties of NSF for the federal govern- ment have been transferred to the Office of Science and Technology (OST), created in 1962. However, NSF is by law responsible for "the broader context beyond the per- imeters of the federal complex." To this end, NSF spent a total of $415.8 million in fiscal 1965, most- ly on basic research projects and science education programs. Basic research monies from NSF went largely to academic and other institutions closely allied with campuses across the coun- try. Of all federal funds allocated for science research and educa- tion, about $1.8 billion, or 10 per cent, are funneled into the edu- cational institutions, according to Rep. Henry Reuss (D-Wis). Thus it would seem that NSF handles about one-fourth of the federal allocations to educational institu- tions. Both Reuss' figures and those presented by the NSF annual re- port indicate that the majority of the money. went to five states: California, Illinois, New York, Massachusetts, and the Maryland- District of Columbia area. The state of Michigan was sixth on the NSF list, with a total of $4.9 mil- lion going to six universities and two other establishments. According to Reuss, in an article in The Nation, 98 per cent of fed- eral research funds go to the natural sciences and the other 2 .per cent go to the humanities and social sciences. Yet, the NSF's $119 million direct appropriations to colleges and universities includ- ed $9 million for the social sciences, a considerably more than 2 per cent. This is in line with Haworth's prediction that human- ities and social science research. projects would be coming in for a greater share of federal funds. , The NSF annual report states that most of the monies for basic research are distributed in the form of project grants awarded for the work of individual investi- gators. Over 3000 awards were made last year to members of 288 universities and colleges. Average size of award was $30,000 per in- stitution. However, research is to projects originating cational institutions. not limited from edu- Six."natural research" programs were in operation under NSF aus- pices during the last year. The United States Antarctic Research Program carried on biological studies of the Wendell seals, began a four-year investigation of the uncharted East Antarctica reglon, and established two satellite-mon- itoring projects, at Byrd and Mc- Murdo stations. Project Mohole involves drilling through the crust of the earth beneath the ocean floor into the mantle, seven miles below. Test drillings and development of im- proved equipment last year con- tinued to bring the scientists closer to their goal last year. Other projects financed by the National Science Foundation in- Years elude geographical and geophysi- cal investigations of the Indian Ocean; weather modification stud- ies attempting to discover how man can control his meterological environment; a joint series of 53 projects b e i n g conducted by scientists from Japan and the United States; and participation in the International Years of the Quiet Sun, designed to study the sun during a time when sunspot activity is at a minimum. NSF Director Haworth noted that statistics compiled by NSF have shown a decided tendency for federal support of basic re- search to drop off over the last few years. This is the case at the University, according to Vice-Pres- ident for Research Geoffrey Nor- man, who said that the Univer- sity's research budget stands at $47 million, but is unlikely to in- crease at the same rate. Conference Yields Few Surprisesi SGC-UAC Student Faculty Symposium Faces 'U' Problems By NEIL SHISTER Yesterday's student faculty aca- demic conference resulted in few surprises. What did come out of this SGC- UAC sponsored symposium, how- ever, were a number of sound, potentially feasible suggestions aimed at easing the problems cur- rently faced by students at the University. Perhaps the most important idea posed during the meetings was upgrading more advanced- level courses, making them worth four instead of three credit hours. SSuch a move would reduce a stu- dent's course load, while still al- lowing him to meet minimum hour requirements. Dean James Robertson of the literary college said that he has been in favor of this proposal for a long time, feeling that various f departments within the college are in need of a restructuring in the area of course credit hours. An alternative suggestion made was that of requiring students to take a certain minimum number of courses per trimester rather than a minimum number of hours. Pass-Fail Option A second major proposal made during the conference was that upperclassmen be permitted to take one course per trimester on a pass-fail basis. Thus students electing to take this option would not be graded, but would either pass or fail the course. A pro- gram similar to this is currently in use at Princeton University. The committee dealing with the problems of extra-curricular ac- tivities rejected the proposal to give academic credit to students % involved in major campus activi- ties. Feeling that such action was not warranted and would dilute the quality of leadership in activi- ties, the committee statement did recognize the need for a flexibility in the academic programs of stu- dents involved in such activities. Function AchievedP The purpose of the conference was to define and present pos- sible solutions to the more critical problems confronted by students, as well as serve as a liaison be- tween students and faculty. At- tending the conference were not only students and faculty mem- bers, but also leading administra- tors. While the suggestions made by the committee are not binding in any form to the University, the organizers hope many of the pro- posals will soon be incorporated into actual policy. Robert Bodkin, '67E, said yes- terday that he will propose a mo- tion to SGC that a committee of students and faculty members be established on a permanent basis to serve in an advisory capacity to Vice-President for Academic Af- fairs Allan Smith. Student Pressure The conference was aimed at getting to the roots of student discontent, and in a committee dealing with ways of reducing aca- demic pressure it was brought Passage Of l 1AMiraigan aiI SpeakerBan NEWS WIRE Not Likely 9 C I _ _ a EDITOR'S NOTE: Significant world and national news which is received immediately prior to The Daily's early-morning deadline will henceforth be included as a new feature of our news digest.-C.F.

Hotline Philanthropist Charles Mott has taken issue with the State Board of Education's opposition to expanding Flint's two-year University branch into a four-year school. Mott has pledged. $2.7 million toward the expansion, but the board has suggested a new and autonomous four-year school. The 90-year-old Mott said "We're having a little contest on that but we're going to win out-don't worry about that." "It's immaterial to me whether they have any more branches," he said. "Who gives a hoot outside Flint about sending our kids to college and letting them live at home?" Mott made his statements at a meeting of the Flint Industrial Executive Club. * * * * Prof. Arthur W.

A House Education subcommittee plans to study the effect the drafting of college students wculd have on the nation's need for trained professional manpower The hearings are prompted by reports that a continuing military buildup in Viet Nam will require the drafting of college students who fail to keep up their grades. College students are. now in a deferred status. The effects such a change in student draft status would have on federal education programs will be considered at the hearings. Lt. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, director of the Selective Service system, will be called as a witness Thursday and representatives of the Office of Education and the U.S. Public Health Service will appear Friday. Long Distance A political science professor at Queens College in New York City recently discovered a unique formula to rid her classes of overcrowding. Dr. Mary Earhart Dillon reportedly asked all "Goldwater and Buckley sympathizers" to leave the class. 277 students had signed up for the class which was set up for 160 students. Dr. Dillon told the students it was necessary to reduce the size of the class and to have told the conservative students that she "might say things during the semester that woull hurt or offend their political feelings." Three of the students asked to leave reported the matter to school officials, who have had no comment on the .incident. The students accused Dr. Dillon of terming them "troublemakers" and "rowdy" for having reported the incident. Asked for comment, conservative spokesman William F. Buckley said, "Dr. Dillon's elimination procedure suggests either that Goldwater-Buckley supporters don't need any further in- struction in political science, or else that Dr. Dillon is incompetent to cope with students whose views disagree with her own. I am torn between the two alternatives." " ,. * * Dr. Thomas A.

He also noted that an attempt to put a provision in this year's, state appropriations restricting Communist speakers on state-sup- ported campuses would likely be unable to gain the needed support of the Senate. Friday's m~otion requesting col- lege presidents to prohibit Com- munist speakers was passed 15-14. "For a bill to become law, it takes 20 out of the 38 senators," noted Bursley. "I don't think there would have been 20 votes if they had all been there." In respect to a possible rider on legislative appropriations for high- er education, Bursley felt that such an amendment would prob- ably be defeated. "It is extremely unlikely that retribution against a university would take place." -D)aily-Andy Sacks TO ANY OPPONENT, Cazzie Russell looks like he's always jumping higher and higher and growing bigger and bigger. And when Caz goes up for one of his indescribable layup dunks, he looms huger than ever. Trick photography? Try and convince Wisconsin, the victim of this shot yesterday afternoon. RecodBdesVanquished Passage Doubtful 0 " Bursley said that such an added plS W2bi Ti0 o n- clause would likely come before the Senate Appropriations Com- mittee, of which he is a member. He felt certain that any restrictive clause could not gain necessary votes from the nine-man com- mittee. Bursley explained that "legally and technically" a rider could re-' quest a ban on Communist speak-{ ers. In a parallel. type of legislative action, the House has tried in the past to put a rider on higher edu- cation funds demanding a reduc-9 tion in out-of-state students at state-supported institutions. These have met with defeat. Majority leader Raymond Dzend-+ zell (D-Detroit), who sponsored Friday's motion requesting a speaker ban, said last night that{ he is trying to represent "the sentiment of the taxpayers" and not the universitie4. He said that he has no definite plans at the moment on putting a clause in the appropriations to state colleges. L Rabbi Adler Shot Before Worshippers Former 'U' Student Attacks Rabbi, Then Turns Gun on Self' Rabbi Morris Adler, Detroit clergyman and civic leade, was shot and critically wounded yes- terday before 1500 worshippers at a, Sabbath service. His assailant, Richard Wishnetsky, a former University honors student, shot himself in the head after attack- ing the rabbi. The rabbi was taken to Detroit's, Sinai Hospital where his condition was listed as very critical. He un- derwent emergency surgery for bullet wounds in the brain. Wishnetsky was taken to De- troit's Providence Hospital where he too, underwent emergency brain surgery. His condition was listed as poor. Sabbath Shooting The shooting occurred after Rabbi Adler's Sabbathesermon. Wishnetsky stood up just as Rabbi Adler finished his sermon and began walking down the synagogue's main aisle. Wishnetsky fired a shot into the ceiling of the synagogue with a .32 caliber pistol and then read a statement denouncing the con- gregation. Finishing the statement he fired a shot into Rabbi Adler's left arm. A second shot grazed Adler's forehead, and the rabbi fell. Wishnetsky then fired the gun into his forehead. In his statement Wishnetsky had said: "This congregation is a travesty and an abomination. It has made a mockery by its phoniness and hypocricy of the beauty and the spirit of Judaism. "It is composed of people, ah, it is composed of people who on the whole make me ashamed to say that I am a Jew. "For the most part . . . it is composed of men, women and children who care for and love nothing except their own vain, egotistical selves. With this act I protest the humanly horrifying and hence unacceptable situa- tion . Wishnetsky had received a de- gree in philosophy at the Univer- sity, according to his parents, and was admitted to Phi Beta Kappa academic honorsdfraternity. He, had ,been awarded a Woodrow' Wilson scholarship for graduate study. He is said to have consider- ed religion the basis of philosophy. Teacher Wishnetsky worked as a sub- stitute teacher in the Detroit pub- lic schools after recovering from an emotional breakdown. Wishnet- sky's parents, members of South- field's Congregation Shaarey Ze- dek, said their son had been under psychiatric care for several years. According to several members of the congregation, Rabbi Adler had recently counseled Wishnetsky. Rabbi Adler had recently re- turned from a sabbatical leave in Israel. He had been an observer at sessions of the Ecumenical Council in Vatican City. He assumed spiritual leadership of Congregation Shaarey Zedek in 1938, when the synagogue was lo- cated 'in Detroit. He was an or- ganizer and is chairman of the United Auto Workers union's pub- lic review board, vice-president of By DAN OKRENT The barn on State Street rock- ed to the melody of broken records yesterday as an anvil chorus with finesse, personified in the form of the Michigan cage quintet, roll- ed over the hapless and helpless Wisconsin Badgers by the score of 120-102. The points came three-a-minute in the Michigan barrage, spear- headed by Cazzie Russell's 36 markers. Yet this was not the good news of the day. You see, Cazzie Rus- sell, no matter how brilliant his shooting (it was), no matter how deadly his passing (it was), and no matter how effervescent his joy in victory (it is), is expected to yield such results. But Craig Dill? That is, and he was a different story. Plagued all season by the echo- ing catcalls of his fairweather. friends in cavernous Yost, the junior from Saginaw had not been able to throw around his lim- ited weight under the boards and had not been able to display his highly-touted hook. But then yes- terday was a different story. "I was ready to play today," said the young giant, glowing in the post-game locker room. "All week people have been telling me I've got to shoot, shoot, shoot. As it turned out, I had the best game of my Big Ten career." Shoot As he said, they told - him to shoot, shoot, shoot. And he shot, shot, shot, netting seven deucers Danger of Inflation Rises in 12 attempts from the floor, and adding four more from the char- ity stripe for a total of 18 points while playing only half of the. game. Hooking, jumping and dunking, Dill was nonpareil-much to the delight of Michigan mentor Dave Strack. "Dill wasn't really sur- prising," Strac'k remarked, "I've always maintained that he was a good player. And, using this as an indication, he is going to be a very good player." Smiling Loser Just as Strack was full of praise, Wisconsin Coach Johnny Erickson was full of the glum, wry wit of defeat. Questioned as to the' dif- ference between tens yesterday as to two weeks ago in Michigan's 69-67 squeaker win in Madison, the succinct and explicit Erick- son stated: "About 16 points." Then, for the sake of the gen- eral weal and knowledge, the Wis- consin head man elaborated. "The zone press was just too effective, too successful. We had hoped that our guards would be able to get past the three pressers and then outspeed the Michigan team, but we couldn't do it." Thus attributing his team's shoddy passing (resulting in 23 turnovers) to the Michigan press, he went on to eulogize his own team's game. Nice Shot "You can't knock our shooting -53 per cent from the floor is far from disappointing. It's just that our defense never jelled. I must say, however, that our per- formance under the boards was as good as can be expected against a team with such superior size and strength." As much as it may have ailed Coach Erickson, the Michigan full-court zone press made the smiling Strack beam even more.
