Universities are un- certain as to his participation in student life. Demands on 'Apprentice' Although he is treated as an apprentice seeking membership, h' is expected to be creative and mak'e original contributions. A reanalysis is needed in re- gard to student status and the Nichols said it is time after 100 years, that new thinking be direct- ed to graduate education. "We must either limit our ad- missions to a much smaller num- er of students, or own up to what we are doing and be hon- est about it," he said. Two Degrees Universities are currently giv- ng two doctorate degrees, one in- spirational, leading to research achievement, and the other, a union card, leading to teacher employment, he said. Nichcls proposed two doctorate degrees, both to be completed within four years. The first would be "a pass PhD, the other an Honors PhD," he said.j For the pass PhD, he suggested' coherent program of courses, at least one year of language if needed, a year as a teaching fel- ow and a year to write a disser- ation. This means one assigned hat can be completed in a year, he added. Honor PhD "The Honor PhD would include n atmosphere of freedom so the raduate student would do a piece of research that would be thQ be- inning (of a career) not the end of his research." Nichols said the graduate pro- ram was borrowed from Germviy nd it has been given very little hought during the past 100 years. (Continued from Page 1) Vice-President for Research A. Geoffrey Norman labeled the guidelines "vague" and "not spel- ling out the actual intent of Con- gress." The guidelines, according to Norman, give the individual federal agencies awarding the grants great latitude to do what- ever they may wish. He further commented that, there have been no clear policy statements from the agencies and reaction may vary greatly from one agency to the next. "The Uni- versity will not know how the agency has interpreted the guide- lines and what percentage of the costs it will be required to pay until actual negotiations begin on the individual grants," Norman said. Language Vague Robert Burroughs, director of research administration, com- mented that the language of the guidelines says more through in- ference than through specific policy statements. The wording, Burroughs added, gives the im- pression that the guidelines will give the University little or no relief from the previous situation. "The fact that the guidelines are as broad as they are," Burroughs continued, "puts pressure on the agencies to force universities to continue to carry a substantial financial burden for federal re- search grants." Burroughs indicated that the' University had been under the impression, from the discussions Order of the appropriations committee, that the Bureau of the Budget would set down guidelines close to a figure of five per cent of the total costs. The five per cent fig- ure would have been a consider- able improvement over the limita- tions of the indirect cost reim- bursement plan. Burroughs concluded that "if there is to be a considerable benefit to the University under the new guidelines, there must be a corresponding increase in agency appropriations, which was not forthcoming in the past year." Vivian, however, said that an increase in appropriations was left in abeyance, waiting for the Bureau of the Budget to release the final guidelines. The lack of an appropriations increase to make up for the increased cost to the government under the new plan, Vivian indicated, could also mean a cut in the total number of research grants. Norman concluded that "in making next year's appropriations Congress should be cognizant of the effect of this year's change in grant-cost sharing policy."

AMERICAN CONSERVATORY j THEATRE May Join Dispute Participation Needed Administrative structure and ap- paratus in graduate programming is not free from criticism in look- ing at problems facing graduate students today, he said. Often, they are 'treated as if they were in a hiring hall. This. is not the way to. communicate a sense of participation, Heyns said, nor the way to enhance the prestige and status of these individuals. iAs. one. proposal, the California University chancellor proposed that undergraduates, graduate stu- dents .and: professors act as a team of learners. Team Approach "Subiect matter would be select- ed because it is of interest to all members in an area close to the frontier,-currently being explored' by the professor and open to graduate interest." Such a.team approach calls 'for developing the graduate student's life. "What united it is the proc- ess of inquiry--respect and skill that vwe all want our students to achieve," he said.. Rather than having a continua- tion of competition between grad- uate students, there is a need to structure the team approach so graduate students can learn from each other, he suggested. University Tensions Heyns said the problems or ten- sions that bother today's graduate student are also symptomatic of tensions within the university it- self. Integration of .scholarship and research is needed to bring (Continued from Page 1) While the state universities have been taking action against Public Act 319. txvo unions in Washtenaw county have petitioned the court to allow -their attorneys to inter- vene in the hearing to help the attorney general defend the act. Local 1583 of the American Fed- eration' of State, County and Municipal Employes and the Building Trades Council have pre- sented the petitions which claim that the rights of their members won't be adequately represented unless the unions' attorneys are involved in the hearing, William Lemmer, University attorney, said yesterday. Also, Barry.Bluestone, '66, said the University of Michigan Stu- dent Economic Union Executive Board decided Sunday to work with local unions to get recogni- tion from the University for the unions and to talk with a labor lawyer in Detroit on the procedure for filing with the Mediation Board.

UniversityAttorney L e m m er commented that UMSEU's action is novel and could be either up- held or thrown out by the Media- Patronize the Daily Advertisers F ff tion Board if the court should de- cide in favor of the. Public Act. Lemmer said that it would be up to the board to define if students constitute a separate unit.' Over. vacation the University filed its suit in Washtenaw Coun- ty Court asking that the Hutch- inson Act askamended be declared unconstitutional as its applies to the University and that the court issue an injunction preventing the Mediation Board from considering petitions filed by the unions until the case is decided. A hearing date of Dec. 29 was set up by the court, but at the request of Attorney General Frank Kelly the hearing was postponed until Jan. 12 at 4 p.m. in the Washtenaw County Bldg. The court this Wednesday will start the hearings on the injunc- tion plea, but no date has been set on hearing the constitutional question, Lemmer said. -r{ DIAL 5-6290 ENDING TONIGHT " t : : : : ;. :: : i : When this aeligible F.8. r.an.ma tails her cat through { }his yard leads to this :: : cool kitten } and ther FUN STARTS FLAN'!
