LXXVII, No. 128 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 1, 1967 SEVEN CENTS TEN PAGES Faculty Vacancies Pose Threat to Departments By WALLACE IMMEN "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.

To Retain NSA Ties 3 i f k i 3 C a t tt 1 i i manding that President Sukarno be dismissed., ROLF DIETRICH, regional head of the National Student Association, yesterday charged the Wayne State University stu- dent newspaper, the Daily Collegian, with "flagrant abuse of editorial copy" by running as a news story an editorial feature service saying that the NSA should be disbanded. The Daily Collegian ran as a news story a feature distributed by the Collegiate Press Service which originally appeared as an editorial in The Daily.,. MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY'S Interfraternity Council completed its recommendation for disciplinary action in an in- cident involving a fraternity pledge injured during "hell week games" at Sigma Alpha Epsilon.

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?" -Daily-Frank Wing ARTHUR MILLER spoke yesterday before a packed audience in Rackham Lecture Hall. He crit- icized and analysed contemporary American theatre, and answered questions from the audience. Miller will be in Ann Arbor for three days. Arthur Miller Ciiie Con temporaryThea ire Urges Free 'E 'Stickers For Students Approves SGC Slate For Vice-Presidential Advisory Committees By JOHN GRAY 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 replacement service charges, or the large surplus that the office By LISSA MATROSS hope for the future of the theatre, according to Miller.

The actors were no different. theatres! are built for real-estate people, not for actors. "Lincoln Center threatens to remove the source of irritation. The Center is looked on as 'some sort of 'plot' and as a threat against the complaint," he claimed. Repertory Theatre A repertory theatre like Lin- coln Center would, Miller said, of- fer the actor a great opportunity. "But there is no agreement among theatre people about what,should be in a repertoire.. We're brain washed by the commercial thea- tre," he said. Miller asserted that a "repertory theatre must 'be a theatre that 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." The Michigan Daily will not publish over spring break, March 1-6.
