EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the last
in a three-part series on pricing
in Anti Arbor as related to chang-
ing trends in the attitudes of stu-
dent-consumers. This article con-
sists of various details and conclu-
sions on the movement.
By DICK WINGFIELD
Can a bartering board be estab-
lished which will effectively re-
spond to grievances between stu-
dent consumers and Ann Arbor
landlords and merchants? If so,
could high prices be presented as
a grievance which could be reme-
died in the setting of a power-
counterpower bartering situation?
Answers to these questions de-
fine in part the economic future
of student consumers at the Uni-
versity. Testimony in the recent
legislative hearings headed by
Rep. Jack Faxon (D-Det) pointed
out that if prices or the cost of
living at the University are lower-
ed, then a more. economically di-
versified student body could be
expected.
In essence, college would be less
expensive in Ann Arbor and per-
sons of more molerate means could
begin to view education at the
University as a greater possibility.
It was said in the hearings that
the University is composed of -the
economically elite. The ethics of
this character may and have been
disputed. Does economic back-
ground have a significant influ-
ence upon intelligence? If so,
should the .cost of living be lower-
ed to cater to individuals which
may not measure up to the stan-
dards of the University at the
present?
Crusaders in the cause for low-
er living expenses here seem to
contend that the priviledge of
education should not be qualified
by economic resource. It is from
this philosophy that their argu-
ment gains its greatest thrust-
that is, the right of equal oppor-
tunity.
But the drive for lower educa-
tion costs years up on several
major tangents:
-The recent tuition hike has
been under heavy controversy
among academic, legislative and
private circles. It has been charg-
ed, for instance, that if the Uni-
versity is bent on lowering edu-
cation costs (as the critics assume
it should be), then the tuition hike
is a reversal of efforts.
-A second sideline is that prices
in Ann Arbor may be examined
apart from the ethical considera-
tion of equal opportunity. That is,
even for the rich, some spokesmen
have said, the prices are unjust
because they capitalize upon a
phenomenally high demand and
a carefully limited supply of mer-
chandise, books and living facili-
ties.
Although it is fact that if there
were lower prices here, a different
student body would be developed,
it is also clear that the virtue of
lowering prices for this reason is
the province of debate and prom-
ises no concrete conclusions.
Conclusions on the character of
the Ann Arbor economy and the
probability of lower prices are,
however, available:
-The student/property owner
bartering board is conceivable, but
has serious obstacles in this eco-
nomic situation. In essence, the
boycott weapon which the stu-
dents hypothetically hold may be
rendered impotent by the fact
that property owners could still
rent their dwellings if the boycott
were not completely effective
among nearly all the 30,000 stu-
dents and also among other pos-
sible renters.
-Assuming the owner is willing
to lower his prices to fill the
dwelling, the student-consumer
goal is ostensibly satisfied, butj
thc reduction in price may be
transient and limited only to the
eight or twelve month lease ef-
fective at that particular time.
-The boycott could not extend
to all dwellings at the same time
because of the fact, regardless of
the organization of the boycott,
that students must live some-
where.
-Therefore, spot boycotts could
be effective primarily for specific
grievences and not for a reduction
of rent costs in general.
-An alternative to the boycott/
bartering board method is a more
active role on the part of the Uni-
versity to supply greater quantities
of low-cost housing-housing that
will not only meet and reduce
present demand but also at rates
which will cause a reduction in
private housing rental rates.
-Problems with the University-
sponsored housing alternative are
that it would in effect be an
economically influential subsidy
by the state to student consumers
-the propriety of which is under
debate; and that, as the Oxford
Housing Project currently shows,
the University housing may not
be desirable enough to students to
guarantee that it will not be
vacant or partially so, if private
housing has more appeal to
renters.
-The concept of a monolithic
ownership of Ann Arbor multiple
dwellings is virtually false. There
are approximately 200 dwellings
of 6 units or more, and nearly as
many owners.
-This points up the fact that
ownership is spread among many
people, although there are a hand-
ful of more prominent owners.
Although this does give breath to
the idea of a bartering board with
an effective boycott threat, it
does not diminish its counterpart
-that there is a high demand for
apartment units.
-Relative prices have a strong
bearing upon the struggle: Pro-
perty owners contend that prices
are rising across the nation. They
add that their pricing is merely a
reflection of this fact combined
with a high wage level here, de-
mand and other economic factors;
Some student consumers agree

A decision is expected soon on the appeal of Raymond
Lauzzana, '66A&D, one of the 12 reclassified Viet Nam protestors.
Lauzzana pled his case Thursday before Local Board No. 89 in
Detroit. A previous appeal by two other reclassified students at
Detroit Board No. 93 was rejected Wednesday. Two more students
will appeal on Jan. 17.
Stage and screen celebrities Gregory Peck and Elizabeth
Ashley, and Roger L. Stevens, head of the National Culture
Center will be in Ann Arbor next Saturday to attend the
American Conservatory Theatre's presentation of Edward Albee's
"Tiny Alice." The three will participate in a seminar on the
newly-created National Council on the Arts to be held in the
Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre.
Search has finally come through, but only two months late.
The computerized dating system sent out the date names last
Dec. 7. Iowever each student received a list of 10 names instead
of the advertised five. Each list had five names under the
heading of your ideal date, and then a second list of five names
for whom you are their ideal date.t

The University has received a $25,000 Ford Foundation
grant for a research workshop on the fiscal problems of state
and local governments, it was announced yesterday. The work-
shop will consist of 20 young research economists who will
conduct a series of seminars and discussions.
The Detroit Edison Company has donated $250,000 to the
University for support of the Phoenix project on peaceful uses
of atomic energy, University President Harlan Hatcher announced
recently.
The gift is part of $2 million sought by the Phoenix project
from the University's fund rasing campaign.

Ann Arbor Area May
Get World's Largest
Proton Accelerator
By WALLACE IMMEN
A team from the National
Academy of Sciences was assured
yesterday at a meeting on North
Campus that a site in Northfield
Township near Ann Arbor satis-
fies all requirements established
for selection of a location for the
world's largest proton accelerator.
The meeting was arranged to
give final information on the
merits of the ssite to the selection
committee making a final tour
after it announced earlier this
week that the number of possible
sites had been reduced for the
third time and that the Northfield
location is still being considered.
The investigators are taking one
more look at the remaining plots
before sending final decision to
the Atomic Energy Commission,
which is in charge of the program.
Accelerator
The installation being sought is
a 200 billion electron volt (BEV)
proton accelerator and high en-
ergy nuclear physics research fa-
cility. The mile-long, ring shaped
accelerator would speed protons
to near the speed of light to study
their constituent parts.
When bids were submitted last
year, the AEC listed the conditions
necessary for the location. North-
field was shown to meet all re-
quirements as professors from the
staff presented reports at yester-
day's meeting.
The first of these qualities was
good geologic structure of the
area, the land must be stable and
have the ability to support the
enormous weight of the equipment
and protective shielding.
Prof. William S. Housel of the
civil engineering department told
the committee that the area under
consideration is very suitable. Core
samples taken by a private com-
pany recently indicated the clay
underlying the site is of a "floury"
type which has a low water con-
tent and will not run in moist
weather or shink in dry periods,
and is "as good as one can get
outside of a rock foundation."
Size
The next problem was the
enormous size of the installation
which requires that at least 5000
acres be available. The state would
have to assure that the land be
set aside at a reasonable price.
The land set aside at Northfield
is now of sufficient size and only
two parcels are still in private
hands. The state has offered to
donate the acreage in an attempt
to offset the lure of large cash
bonuses some states have ex-
tended.
Other factors, such as accessi-
bility and a good water supply for
cooling are also offered by the site.
