"The student-faculty ratio has
kept pace with enrollment in-
creases over the past few years,"
said. Allan F. Smith, vice-presi-
dent for student affairs yesterday,
"but a large number of adjust-
ments in departmental programs
will be necessary to maintain the
ratio this year."
Smith said a number of adjust-
ments must be made at all levels
if the University musti operate
within Gov. Romney's $62 million
request for next year. He said the
University has encountered, and
effectively handled, similar prob-
lems for the past ten years. Stu-
dent-faculty ratios have averaged
13-1 students to faculty.
"Last year for example," Smith
said, "even with the $7.7 million
discrepancy between what the gov-
ernor requested and our final ap-
propriation, we ended up fairly
well, with the kind of adjustments
we could make in our programs.
We managed to raise faculty sala-
ries an average of six per cent.

A vote of over 5.000 had been
hoped for by the sponsors of the
referendum. The vote in a typical
referendum at MSU varies be-
tween 6,000 and 9,000 of the Uni-
versity's 35,000 students.
Students were asked four mul-
tiple choice questions on how the
draft should operate, what ,infor-
mation MSU should release to lo-
cal boards, student deferments,
and exemptions for members of
the Peace Corps, VISTA, and the
National Teacher Corps. In addi-
tion they were asked to comment,
yes or.no, on a draft for women.
The referendum also focused on
how students are personally af-
fected by the draft. Students were
asked to respond yes or no to such
questions as "Has the present
draft law caused you to alter the
direction or timing of your career
plans?" and "Would you actively
suport a movement to alter the
present draft law?"

The Graduate Student Council
passed a resolution calling on Stu-
dent Government Council to re-
tain its ties with the National Stu-
dent Association "as long as NSA
divorces itself from the Central
Intelligence Agency" at its regular
meeting last night.
The Council also passed a res-
olution directing the Student Traf-
fic Advisory Board to recommend
to Richard L. Cutler, vice-president
for student affairs, that student
driving permits (E-stickers or M-
stickers) be made available with-
ot cost.
They went on to give final ap-
proval to the membership lists of
the new Vice-Presidential Advis-
ory Boards. The boards are now
1 officially effective and will begin
operation immediately after spring
break. The membership lists had
previously been approved by SGOC
In its final action of the eve-
ning, the Council endorsed Jerry
Dupont as a candidate for City
Council from the Second Ward.
This action was preceded by
speeches presented to the Council
by Dupont and his opponent, Doug-
las Clary.
Congratulates NSA
The NSA resolution congratu-
lated the student group for ad-
mitting to charges that itwas
partially financed by the CIA.
However, it went on to condemn
the former officers of the NSA
and similar organizations for ac-
cepting CIA aid. It also severely
criticized the CIA itself for insti-
gating the relationship.
Roger Leed, '67, who introduced
the resolution, is himself a former
employee of the NSA.
Leed stressed the damaging in-
fluence of this affair on the gov-
ernment itself. He said students
would not be able to retain faith
in their organizations as long as
they knew such actions were
going on.
The resolution Went on to call
on President Johnson and the
Congress to take whatever steps
are necessary to stop the "cynical
appropriation of students."
The resolution says that such
"covert activities are incompati-
ble with democratic government
and tend to undermine faith in
that government."
Student Driving Regulations
The Council explained that their
request touthe Student Traffic Ad-
visory Board was based on infor-
mation from the Office of Stu-
dent Affairs that the only pur-
pose for the registration fees is
the enforcement of the Student
Driving Regulations.
The recommendation suggests
that this cost could be defrayed
by fines collected from enforce-
ment of the regulations, sticker

"But there is no agreement among
theatre people about what,should

Miller asserted that a "repertory

loses money." He explained that
"the more successful the theatre
is, the more money it loses because
it must add more plays, actors and
scenery."
