LXXVI, No. 140 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, MARCH 17, 1966 SEVEN CENTS 'U' Tries To Improve Co-ordination of oun EIGHT PAGES iseling By PATRICIA CHOPP An effort to improve the Uni- versity's counseling services is slowly getting under way. Vice-President for Student Af- fairs Richard L. Cutler hopes to find an expert administrator with professional skill in psychology to head a new counseling division in his office by July 1. Cutler says he wants someone who possesses a coherent attitude towaxd counseling, a person who will bring the various counseling agencies into a closer, more effi- cient and niore satisfactory work- ing relationship, without an at- tempt at artificial integration. Cutler describes the chief ob- jective of counselng at the Un- veisity as providing students neep- ing help with a variety of personal' contacts in different problem areas. He s )ys the day of all- knowing cour lvr is over, and the University community is best se-N ed by the present decentralized system of counsXL'g. Hlowever this policy has its dis. aedvantages, iut1er says, in such prilems as lack of efficiency and a uniform pbilosopla. . He h )pes to alleviate these problems wirn a di ector who xvwll promote a ,ence of cohesiveness in counseling. several Urnersit admini ;tra - tors agree on the need for a unify- ing force in counse'hng, yet they generally -,oncrde that a truly "integrated" uystm would not *:>e desirable or, in some cases, even feasible. Dr Donaid Scha2a':, director of the mental health clinic, says he feels the psychological services of the University cannov be integrat- ed with other counseling services because of the nature of the work they do. He says a feeling of an- onymity and confidence on the part of the student are vital to his being helped. Schaefer and those on the staff of the clinic consider themselves a part of Healtn S'rv- ice rather than an agency of the counseling system. "To promote the no1don that counseling in the literary college and counseling in Health Service are merely fragments of a larger whole is not necessarily helpful," ior-senior counseling in the liter- ary college, contends. "It may in fact be a real disadvantage, both to the counselor, and to the stu- dent, who has already sufficient reas n to think of the University as monolithic." Manning says, however, that he would endorse any move designed to communicate to students in- formation about the counseling re- sources of the University. He says the function of an integrating or coordinating agency should be to direct students-to give them in- formation about what is available to them. Cutler feels that immediate im- provement can be made by using counseling problems. In other' words, academic counselors are of- ten made aware that a student has a problem and would therefore be in a position to guide him to a counseling source that could deal with his problem. Cutler says such referrals should be made on a per- son-to-person basis, thus necessi- tating a friendly working relation- ship between counselors from dif- ferent departments. ious Affairs, also sees referral pro-' cedures as important in making counseling more available to the student. He does not see religious counseling as a replacement for other types of counseling, but feels it may sometimes be overlooked as a possible aid to the student. iArray says it is possible that there remains a eslduum of mis- t: ust toward religious counseling on the part of other counseling the probable success o integrating academic counseling and the resi- dence hall system.

At the same time, there will be more growth at the graduate level, Smith said. Despite an increased demand from in-state students for places in the freshman class, freshman enrollment will be held at the same level as that of last fall, approximately 4,700; admissions officers reported. This move is in line with a literary college faculty resolution passed last spring requesting that freshman admissions be held con- stant due to lack of space and qualified faculty. Next Fall Nevertheless, figures released recently by the Office of Academic Affairs show that there will be an increase next fall of about 600 students, to bring the total en- rollment for the literary college to 10,814. Smith attributed this increase to "pipeline growth" caused by the large freshman classes of 1964 and 1965. Freshman admissions for the fall of 1964 exceeded those of the previous year by 800 and increased an additional 600 in the fall of 1965. The OAA enrollment projections also show an expected growth of 264 for a total enrollment of 3,505 in the engineering school and an increase of 359 for a total enrollment of 7,832 in the Rack- ham School of Graduate Studies next fall. Total Total University enrollment for the fall of 1966, including branches but excluding credit extension pro- grams, is expected to reach 33,250, an increase of 1,983 over last fall's enrollment. This compares with the greater increase of 2,164 in last fall's enrollment over that of the fall of 1964 figure. An OAA Growth Report from the fall of 1964 had anticipated a growth in total University en- rollment to 41,797 by 1970, with an undergraduate enrollment in the literary college of 16,155. By 1975, ,* the report had anticipated an enrollment of 50,186, with 19,796 literary college undergraduates. . These estimates have been call- ed "too low" by population studies experts, in view of the great in- crease in college-age students over the next few years. Too High? However, the Growth Report estimates may actually be too high in relation to the expected growth in the University's physi- cal facilities, especially with the difficulty which constantly occurs in obtaining funds from the State Legislature for. the University's capital building program. For this reason, the Growth Re- port is now being re-evaluated. Smith said the enrollment pro- jections had been made under the - assumption that there would be NEWS WIRE 12 Astronan Is Make Landing UNIVERSITY PERSONNEL DIRECTOR Charles Allmand testified yesterday before the state labor mediation board on the petitions of the Washtenaw County Construction Trades Council. The mediation board is holding hearings under public act No. 379, an amendment to Michigan's basic labor legislation, which allows public employes to be represented by a collective bargaining agent. The board will hold hearings today and tomorrow for the Trades Council and on April 1 will consider the petitions of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employes Local 1583. When all testimony is in the mediation board will decide on the appropriate units into which to divide University nonacademic employes. * '* A REPORT ON RECOMMENDED SITES for the proposed $375-million atomic accelerator will be submitted to the Atomic Energy Commission within several weeks.

Cutler told educators in Chicago recently that students feel "a widespread dissatisfaction with the 'system'-with the orderly and sometimes tedious process of solving problems according to the rules." He stressed that there is a serious lack of under- standing between the current crop of collegianis and their elders -a gap that makes communications difficult s Cutler outlined his views in a paper presented to the National Conference on Higher Education, a department of the National Education Association. MICHAEL GALLE, '66, WAS named as this year's recipient of the Interfraternity Council Autstanding Greek Award at the annual fraternity-sorority presidents' banquet last week. The award is presented annually to the fraternity member who has made the greatest contributions to his fraternity, the fraternity system and the campus community. Trophies were also presented to Phi Kappa Tau, for the highest pledge class gradepoint average (3.2); Phi Epsilon Pi, for the highest fraternity gradepoint average, and Alpha Sigma Phi for "Most Improved Scholarship." 7d1C 1L' ~ruerency 'Spacecraft Trouble Cuts Flight Sho rt Pararescue Men Report Armstrong Scott in Fine Shape By The Associated Press CAPE KENNEDY, Fla. -- Two remarkably calm Gemini space hunters plunged to a safe emer- gency landing at sea last night after some desperate, fearful mo- ments in a disabled spaceship tarnished their brilliant space suc- cess. Gemini pilots Neil A. Armstrong and David R. Scott were reported safe and sound-in fine shape- by the pararescue men who leap- ed into the water near the space- craft from a circling plane. It was the first time that a United States manned flight had been cut short of spacecraft trou- ble. The Gemini 8 splashed down in the Pacific Ocean in full daylight and relatively calm seas some 500 miles east of Okinawa at about 10:23 p.m.-and was spotted al- most immediately by a searching C-54 aircraft.

Sorrit House Presi dents Pas Proposa for Annual Fall Rush By AVIVA KEMPNER The proposal for a single soror- ity rush to be held in the fall was passed last night by the two- thirds vote reqiured at the Presi- dents' Council of Panhellenic As- sociation. Voting on the proposal, in the form of four constitutional amendments, were the 23 sororityI house presidents and the eightI executive officers. The proposal wlil be presented to Student Government Council for approval today, and voted on next week. SGC must approve any constitutional changes of student organizations. SPOKESMAN COMMENTS: Language Behaviour Research Center Offers Rare Chance for Varied Study Previously, the sororities rushedi both in the fall and the winter,I with emphasis on the winter rush.i Changes in this rush system havel been debated for a long time. The discusions resulted in agreementc on having one annual rush. The1 only question remained was when to hold the single rush system and several alternate plans were advocated and discussed., The fall rush proposal which, passed last night was recommend- ed by the rush evaluation com- mittee. The committee, appointed by the Presidents' Council, sug- gested that several changes be made in the constitution concern- ing rush and additional revisions were made at meetings of the Presidents' Council. The amendments consist of four parts: -Establishment of one formal rush with four sets at the begin-] ning of the fall semester with' pledging during the winter se- mester; -Holding an informal rush per- iod beginning right after formal rush and extending until the end of the year and any girl partici- pating in informal rush must be registered with Panhel. (During this period, a house could offer a bid to any girl who was qualified for formal rush. This rush allows a house to fill its quota if girls leave because of marriage, poor grades, or depledging. Panhel will serve as the headquarters for the interested houses and girls by rea terin and reeiving the rush. If the amendments are ap- proved by SGC, other definite plans will be formulated by the Panhel rush chairman, Marty Wetzel, '67N, and a committee of officers, including the chairman of house rush chairmen and the chairman of the sorority rush' counseling program. Panhel President Martha Cook, '67, feels that the present rush system "showed need for a change and the fall proposal is the best answer." Miss Cook added, "Many different and varied resources were used to study, the rush sys- tem, and I am convinced the fall rush will benefit the system, the individual houses and the rushee." Karen Jones, '67, president of Sigma Delta Tau, representing the minority opinion, commented, "We were opposed to the fall proposal and wanted to continue deferred rush in the interest of both fresh- man women and the sorority sys- tem as a whole." With Armstrong at the controls, the retro-rockets on the Gemini 8 were fired with a jolt at 0:45 p.ru, as the spacecraft crossed the equator over the African epnti- nent. Then the suddenly slowed ship began its fiery descent to earth and was out of contact with tho ground for more than half an hour. The flight ended 10 hours, and 42 minutes after it began. It was supposed to last three days, and feature a world record space walk by Scott. The trouble came at about 6:41 p.m. when Armstrong noted some aberrational action between his spacecraft and the Agena target ship it had joined. He decided quickly to back away from the fuel-laden Agena which has been called a flying bomb in space. Some of the thrusters in the main maneuvering and control system aboard the Gemini 8 fail- ed to fire. Armstrong quickly brought auxiliary thrusters into play-but they were a set normally used to control spacecraft position during re-entry. By PAT O'DONOIIUE The Center for Research on Language and Language Behavior is the only center of its kind which brings 80 people who are involved in all aspects of language and language behavior together under conditions in which they are able to transcend disciplinary areas. As George L. Geis, a resident member of the tenter, points out, "The center generates research which couldn't happen if it was not carried on jointly; it makes sense that a linguist can tell me the problems of teaching lin- guistics. This means of communi- cation is an invaluable function." The center is the youngest of the research centers on campus, the research, development and dis- the center to be unique, he ex- tegration on the psycholinguistic semination activities and thus en- plained. functioning of these children. able language to be taught and Director's Message The center has also collaborat- .., .... w. b...wb... .. ...., .,......a..,, .,..,... ._.. _ .. - o learned more efficiently.I To achieve these goals it was' decided to provide a place, an at- mosphere, in which the actual peo- ple involved in these areas could work together. The United States Office of Education sponsored the program and it thus came into existence at the University. Research Varies The research carried on in the center varies from language prob- lems of the retarded to teaching English as a first and secondary language. Areas in which research is done range from anthropology to social psychology. The State of the Center Mes- sake delivered by Harlan Lane, the director of the Center, on Feb- ruary 16, illustrates the varied re- search programs of the center. From a study of the linguistic responses of normal and retarded children, the center discovered quantitative evidence of the char- acteristics and limitations of the primary test for assessing the psy- cholinguistic functioning of chil- dren. This research resulted in the Illinois Test of Psycholinguis- tics Abilities. It was also discovered that the ed with foreign language educa- tors throughout the state in the preparation of a statewide plan- ning proposal to develop supple- mentary educational centers and associated staff in the field of foreign language education.
