By WALLACE IMMEN
A preliminary statement of goals
for the planning and coordinating
of public higher education in
Michigan was submitted to the
State Board of Education yester-
day by Harold T. Smith, director
of the State Plan project.
This statement is the first step
in the shaping of a provisionary
draft of a State Plan, which
would establish a basis for centl a
cooperative planning of public
post-secondary education and pro-
vide uniform guidelines for policy
decisions in preparing new pro-'
grams.
The plan will be formulated by
the Study Steering Committee,
which includes Dean Stephen
Spurr of the graduate college as
a member. It will hear recom-

mendations made by six advisory
committees, representing the vari-
ous groups in the state concerned
with higher education.
Committees of student, faculty,
and administrative representatives
from various state institutions, as
well as committees of legislators,
interested citiz ns and economic
specialists are being delegated by
the State Board to prepare rec-
ommendations of planning needs
in their respective areas.
°Preliminary reports from these
committees were originally sched-
uled to be ready by early April.
But the committee work has
progressed very slowly and at least
one of the committees has not yet
been appointed. According to
Smith, "the volume of committee
work still to be done is the major
factor which will delay the sched-

ule for a provisional draft of the
plan."
"The draft will, however, most
likely be ready for hearings in
the Legislature this summer,"
Smith predicted. After these hear-
ings, the completed document
must then be submitted to educa-
tors and other interested groups.
Suggested revisions will be con-
sidered and a final document sub-
mitted to the Legislature for ap-
proval. "We still want to get
things worked out for the 1968
legislative session," Smith noted,
"and we should be able to meet
this deadline."'
"It is the problem of educating1
the committee members which
consumes so much time," noted
Prof. Wilfred Kaplan, of the ma-
thematics department, who is the
University's representative on the

faculty advisory committee, com-:
posed of 23 representatives from
both state-supported and private
institutions. This was the first
advisory committee to get into
operation. It held its first meeting
two weeks ago.
"If we gan get organized and
moving, we can have a great deal
of influence," Kaplan explained.
"The problem is that the repre-
sentatives have never met before;
there are outstanding people on
the committee, but few know
about state problems outside of
their own institutions."
Kaplan said that the two most
difficult questions which the state
plan must answer will be: "to
what extent shall the board con-
trol size and development of
higher education institutions?,";
and secondly, "should the State

An example of role assignment,
would be a decision that the Uni-
versity should function only on
the graduate level. "Although the
idea of the University as an all-
graduate institution has been
brought up many times, such a
drastic concept of 'role' 'doesn't
seem to have broad acceptance by
faculty members," Kaplan claimed.
Smith agreed that strict, as-
signment of roles is not the pur-
pose of a state plan. "It is better

stitution over general planning of
non-private higher education, but
the intent of the constitution is
currently under study by the

and a ruling on its jurisdiction

The statement presented by
Smith claims that the State BoArd
has been sanctioned. to plan and
encourage the orderly develop-

ment of a "comprehensive state
system of education beyond the
secondary level that will adequate-
ly serve all the needs of the state."
It claims that "The well-being
of the State of Michigan calls for
the establishment and main-
tenance of a coordinated group of
institutions of higher learning that
will provide a range of academic
levels and intensities commen-
surate with the aspirations and
abilities of Michigan's youth, and
that will contribute to the state
through their contribution to the
nation and the world."
Smith said that once all the
problems have been ironed out and
the plan is submitted to the Legis-
lature, passage of the measure is
inevitable. "There isn't any ques-


IN RADIO PANEL:
Six SGC Candidates Debate
OSA Break, 'Student Power'

i

By DAVID MANN
Six Student Government Coun-
cil candidates debated the SGC
break with the Office of Student
Affairs, changes in SGC's power
and structure, and student rela-
tions with Ann Arbor police last
night in the second of WCBN's
"Meet the Candidates" series.
The six candidates speaking on
last night's program were Nancy
Amidei, Grad; Mark Schreiber, '69;
Steve Lester, '69E; Kay Stansbury,
'70; Dave Bullard, '69; and Rich-
ard Heideman, '69. Gregory Cole-
man, '68, and David Saltman, '67,
were moderators.

SGC's break with the OSA was
praised as an "effective symbolic
act" by five candidates. Lester dis-
approved of SGC's action and
questioned its authority to sever
the ties. The candidates were also
unable to agree on whether the
split should continue.
SGC Power
On the question of SGS power,
Lester urged that SGC do more'
work within its present limits such
as regulating activity in the Fish-
bowl and on the Diag.
Heidman argued that SGC
could increase its power by taking

he said.
The statement is already ac-
ceptable to the board according
to Smith, but the board does not
want to give final approval to it
until debate on the measures can
begin so that it can be easily
amended if problems arise.
A State Plan has been urged by
the Committee for Coordination of
Higher Education of the American
Association of University Profes-
sors of which Prof. Kaplan is
chairman, at its state conference
for the last decade. A year ago,
it had called for a deadline of
Jan., 1967 for a final version 6f
the plan.
Smith will present a full pro-
gress report on the State Plan pro-
posal at the next regular State
Board meeting, March 28.

Students Involved,
Dept. Chairman MAy
Discuss Discipline
By NEAL BRUSS
The Graduate Executive Board
is asking academic, deartment
chairmen to discuss with gradu-
ate students allegedly involved in
a March 2 heckling "incident "the
gravity of their conduct." Possible
disciplinary action for future in-
cidents will also be discussed.
This action concludes a two-
week study of the incident, ac-
cording to Dean Stephen Spurr of
the graduate school.
The "incident" was the heckling
of Sen. Philip Hart (D-Mich.),
Rep. Gerald Ford (R-Mich) and
Profs James Pollack of the polit-
ical Science department, who par-
ticipated in the Sesquicentennial
weekend topic session.
The board unanimously ap-
proved the following statement at
their meeting yesterday, which all
department chairmen will receive
today:
"Members of a community,, of
scholars have the responsibility
for respecting and protecting the
rights of others to express their
views.
"The executive board of the
graduate school deplores the ac-
tions of a group of individuals at
a public meeting held by the Uni-
versity.. . in the Rackham lecture
hall on March 2 which resulted
in a clear infringement of these
rights.
"This type of interference with
orderly and peaceful discussion is
inexcusable and will not be toler-
ated in a University community.
"A graduate student is in train-
ing to become a member of the
community of scholars and one
of the hallmarks of that commun-
ity is free and objective discus-
sion. When a student seeks to cur-
tail in any way the freedom of
discussion of others he calls in
question his fitness for a scholarly
career.
"The executive board has au-
thority with regard to student dis-
cipline to the extent necessary to
maintain the freedom of expres-
sion of its faculty, student body
and guests.
"Information on the March 2
incident has been conveyed to the
chairmen of the departments
whose graduate students were in-
volved.
The statement was accepted last
night by Graduate Student Coun-
cil.

'Strike Ends;

U! Yields to- Union Demands

The non-academic employes at
Ohio University called off their
strike abruptly last night when the
university; granted their demands.
The strike brought spring vacation
to the school's students two weeks
early.
A meeting of university officials,
union representatives and Ohio'
Atty. Gen. William B. Saxbe Tues-
day night apparently paved the
way for settlement of the key
issue-payroll deductions of union
dues.
Members of the American Fed-
eration of State, County and Mu-
nicipal Employes, AFL-CIO, struck
11 days ago after Ohio University
President Vernon Alden refused
union demands for payroll dues
checkoffs. Alden maintained that
under state law the university had
no authority to grant the request.
Meeting in Columbus Tuesday
night, Saxbe advised Alden, the
executive committee of the school's
trustees and union leadership that
the law does empower the uni-
versity to deduct union dues.
The executive committee voted

4-0 to call a special board meeting

Several technicalities remained
to be cleared up but union repre-
sentative Edward Dailey said he
was "most pleased, most opti-
mistic."
Dailey indicated the only barrier
preventing a return to work
March 20 could be removed by
university action rescinding letters
sent to some 800 employes on
strike or observing picket lines.

The letters, as provided by a
state act banning public-employe
strikes, notified the workers they
had forfeited their jobs and must
seek reinstatement.
The union claims a membership
of about 600. Aiming to organize
some 1,300 cooks, custodial work-
ers and maintenance workers' at
the university, the union was sup-
ported by thousands of students
who joined in picketing and staged
rallies before Alden ordered an
