Within the last istra 15 years, student and faculty ex- of i changes and programs involving coml joint use of technical equipment The have been arranged by nearly links every college in the nation. resp Notable among these is the eight pian year old Committee on Institu- yer tional Cooperation (CIC), com- T prised of member schools of the is c Lit School Courses To Be Delayed Finance anl Control Hinder Contemporary Affairs Proposal By CRAIG DUNCAN ehiclec Ten Conference and including University of Chicago.

One of the committee's most important functions is the coordi- nation of "regional utilization" of facilities. Attempting to avoid duplication of expensive equip- ment, which is necessary but of- ten of limited use,. CIC sponsors the location of highly technical equipment at one member in- stitution. Allowing researchers from 11 in- stitutions access to the equipment of one in their work reduces "downtime" and allows for more efficient operation. The remarkable degree of suc- cess the CIC has found in culti- vating cooperation is due in large part to the so-called "seed grant.". This is the granting of CIC money for travel and lodging expenses to promote meetings by inter-uni- versity faculty groups to discuss possible projects. Although such a grant is small, it has often meant the difference between success and failure in getting a cooperative program started. Often, such a group agreed that cooperative pursuit of a new field or development which may re- quire a large expenditure on fa- cilities is feasible. In this case, the group makes a report to the 11 representatives. In turn, the committee members call chairmen and specialists in departments in that field in their school ask wise to ge tive ventu Informed that a certain pro- The program is expanding rap- gram would be in the best interests idly and although it is designed of the schools, the committee ap- primarily for doctoral candidates, points a subcommittee to study! it is available at all levels, includ- what degree of cooperation on the project is feasible. The subcommittee considers fund requests to be presented to granting organizations and adds recommendations f r o m several schools. Acting as an intermediary agency, CIC recommendation is quite effective in persuading don- ors that funds are necessary. More than 40 programs spon-I sored by CIC are now under way.: Of them ,the most widely pub-{ licized is the Traveling Scholar Program through which a student U, ing undergraduate with depart-; mental approval.E As an example of how this co- E operation works, a student from1 the University wishing to do stud-t les in biometerology (studies of climate and its relation to human! behavior) may find he has needt for the special curriculum in psy- chological climate studies avail-! able at Ohio State University. If accepted, he may register atI the University, paying regular tui-r tion. He may then attend OhioE State for a semester and returnE the specialized equipment avail- able at the "Biotron," a specially designed climate-control chamber at the University of Wisconsin. As a Traveling Scholar, he may plan a research program employing the Biotron and attend classes for a semester at Wisconsin. Increasingly, foundation and government agencies are finding the CIC a means of stimulating significant projects in the national interest. Under a contract with the U.S. Agency for International Develop- ment, the CIC is currently involv- ed in a study project aimed at an- alyzing and evaluating agricul- by AID. The study is seeking to identify the factors affecting the success of university assisted activities abroad and the way in which these factors can best be used in furthering the objectives of the $50 million spent on the U.S. for- eign assistance program. For the future, the committee is considering extension and enlarge- ment of most of its programs. With its success CIC is quickly becoming the model of efficient' joint cooperation between institu- tions both on a regional and in- ternational basis. mUUA~ AE_ Law Grads * , . a. NWV WIKL To Receive ~'wNew Degree 414r Mthtoan BOB Now Become Juris Doctorates Instead of tf' , , ItU T Bachelors of Law Late World News By The Associated Press The proposal that the literary college establish a number of courses on contemporary affairs has been delayed because of ".-. a number of problems and the vague nature of the proposal. .," Professor Daniel Fusfeld of the economics department said. Fusfeld proposed last March that the literary college establish a ser- ies of courses dealing with con- temporary affairs. The proposal was immediately given to the liter- ary college's curriculum commit tee which decided that it merited the attention of the school's execu tive committee, since the proposal crossed into the areas of financing, administration, and' othergareas not under the curriculum group's jurisdiction. This referral came in late April, giving the executive committee no chance to act upon the idea be- fore summer 'vacation. This, to- gether with the fact that the group has, in Fusfeld's words, ". more important things to consider resulted in an absence of any defi- nite action on the proposal. Despite delays, the contempor- ary affairs course proposal is still under consideration. Fusfeld said Monday, " I have been planning and still plan to get a group of students together who worked with me on the project last year andj try to work out the problems the plan presents.' Among the problems the project' presents, he stated, are where the money to run the courses will come from, how the faculty will be se- lected, how to schedule these pro- grams, and how to eliminate the vagueness of the original pro- posal. The concept of the course would be rather unusual in that it would be both interdepartmental and very loosely constructed, that is, the course content would be de- termined by the students and their faculty member. Professor Fus- feld cited a course on Poverty in America as an example, "The group could meet, decide to go out and read on the subject for a few weeks, reconvene, and elect what course they would pursue. Assum- ing the students would want to do individual research, they could study their respective topics, then meet to report on and evaluate, their work." MASSACHUSETTS-Edward J. McCormack, nephew of the speaker of the U.S. House and long a rival of the Kennedy clan in Massachusetts, won the Democratic governship nomination in the Bay State yesterday. In another featured contest in 11-state primary balloting, Gov. Karl F. Rolvaag won renomination in Minnesota by an emphatic margin. He did this although the convention of his Democratic-Farmer-Labor party had passed him by for endorse- ment, in favor of Lt. Gov. A. M. Keith. From Wisconsin, meanwhile, came returns showing. that Lt. Gov. Patrick J. Lucey, a backer of the late John F. Kennedy from away back, had captured the Democratic nomination for governor. Republican Gov. Warren P. Knowles was unopposed for renomi- nation. The Massachusetts tallies put former Gov. Endicott Peabody, Democrat, on the comeback trail. He defeated Boston Mayor John F. Collins for a senatorial nomination. Peabody will face Republican Atty. Gen. Edward W. Brooke in November. Brooke was nominated by the GOP without oppo- sition and if elected will be the first Negro. to sit in the U.S. Senate in 85 years. A STANDING ROOM CROWD of about 500 students filled the Union Ballroom last night for the IFC mass rush meeting. Donald Kaufman, IFC rush chairman, served as master of cere- monies, and introduced the guest speaker, Mr. Wallace Weber from the athletic department. Richard Van House, '67, IFC president, detailed rushing procedures to the freshmen. Van House also announced the set- ting up of a rush counseling service to give the rushees non- biased information on fraternities and rushing. He announced the' addition of a new house, Pi Kappa Alpha, and an increase of 30 per cent in this semester's pledges. * * * TEACHING FELLOWS have been welcomed to their "unique dual status" as both teachers and students by University Vice- President Allan F. Smith. In a letter addressed to all teaching fellows, Smith explained some of the benefits, material and intellectual, going to the grad- uate student who is also a part-time teacher. He noted that "many, probably most, of the eminent scholars of the present served universities as teaching fellows." Among special benefits received by the teaching fellow are in-state tuition rates for himself and his wife, if she is also a student; eligibility for the staff group life insurance and hospital insurance programs; faculty library privileges; and access to free parking lots served by University commuter buses. Parking privileges in on-campus lots and structures are available only to teaching fellows living far from Ann Arbor or those with physical handicaps, Smith's letter explains. DEAN WILLIAM HABER of the literary college has been re- appointed to the Federal Advisory Council -on Employment Se- curity, by Secretary of Labor Willard Wirtz. Dean Haber, a professor of economics at the University, will have served as a Council member for 20 years with this new appointment. Graduates of the University's Law School will rec, ;e the Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree instead of the Bachelor of Laws degree (L.L. B.), Law School Dean Francis Al len has announced. The LL. B. degree has been .awarded by the Law School since its first graduating class in 1860. At that time, the requirements for admission were that the can- didate be at least 18 years old, and that he furnish "certificates giving satisfactory evidence of Sgoodmoral character." To earn the degree the sLudent' was required to be 21 years old. to have pursued the full course of two years in the deparnernt." passed an approved examination, and written "a dissertation not less than 40 folios in length, onk some legal subject selected by himself." Since then, there have been many changes in the -requirements for both admission and the L.L.B. In addition, new degrees were made available-both masters and doctorates.j When the J.D. degree was first awarded in 1909, it was to distin- guish between the candidates for the law degrees who were gradu- ates of approved universities and colleges and those who were nor. Within a few years it was also used as a mark of distinction for the students who maintained su- perior academic records. Since 1962, 'this has meant that3 to receive the J.D. degree the stu; dent .had to maintain an averagei grade of B or better in all work carried after entering the Law School. With the J.D. for all students, distinction for academic excellence7 will be denoted by the traditional phrases "cum laude," "magna cum laude" and "summa cum laude."' The last will be awarded only in ipdividual cases, on recommenda- tion of the faculty. The degree "magna cum laude" will be awarded to those graduating atj the end of the winter term in the top five per cent of their class, "cum laude" to those graduating in the next 20 per cent of their class. August and December gradu- ates will receiev ethe same degree and mark of distinction awarded to those who had the same grade- poiunt average at the end of thec winter term.# -Paul Josephson A VISITOR FROM BERKELEY' PROF: REINHARD BENDIX, reknowned sociologist at the University of California at Berkeley, dis- cussed last night some of the issues raised in Monday night's colloquium. The colloquium was the first in a series of four on comparative studies in history. They are being presented in conjunction with the establishment of a Masters Degree Program in comparative studies here. SOUTHERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY:. Researchers Given Protection) Rising Costs Force Down Service Cuts Food Price Inflation Preceded Austerity Measures in Housing By DAN OKRENT A constricted labor market and rising food costs have precipitated austerity cutbacks in the Univer- sity residence hall, system this year, Residence Hall Business Manager Chet Malanoski reported yesterday. Malanoski cited the inflationary tendencies of the entire economy as the source of the greatly in creased food costs. Malanoski, who succeeded current Associate Direc- tor of Housing Leonard Schaadt as business manager for the dor- mitories this semester, pointed out that the removal of certain dormitory services is not unlike similar belt-tightening being done in institutions and households across the nation. A majoar chunk of the increased food prices have been due to the summer price hike of the Michigan Milk Producers Association. Bolgos Farms, a major local supplier, re- ports that costs to the distributor have risen eight cents per gallon in the time period since the in- crease. This same rise in costs, directly transmitted to the retail consumer, is being effected across the whole state, as well as in many other parts of the nation. Concerning the labor situation, Malanoski pointed out that an across-the-board wage increase to University employees was required to keep up with private businesses and, in turn, keep the current clerical and manual staff on the University payroll. He said furth- er, the increases, inclulding a dor- mitory student kitchen help raise from $1.25 to $1.40 per hour, forded the residence hall system "to either raise prices or reduce services.", In following the latter course, the' system has abolished Sunday evening meals, employee bussing of dishes and provision of table linens. Added on to these cutbacks was the abolition of Associate Advis- ors (House Mothers) in men's houses. S. Daniel Rosemergy, di- rector of Markley Hall, pointed out, however, that the removal of house mothers was not entirely an efficiency measure. The deci- sion was reached after much dis- cussion about the actual advisa- bility of the Associate Advisor's role in the "home-away from- home" environment. Both Malanoski and Rosemergy asserted that complaints from dor- mitory residents have been rela- tively sparse, except for those con- cerning the exclusion of Sunday evening meals. By Conflict of. Interest Code Special To The Daily CARBONDALE, Ill.-A conflictI of interest code for researchers working on - federally-sponsored projects, designed to ward off governmental regulation, has been adopted by the Southern Illinois University Board of Trustees. The code was drawn up jointly by the American Association of University Professors and the American Council of Education in December, 1964. The SIU Board of Trustees, in adopting it, said it "would help reduce the need for detailed and onerous government regulations." The document lists eight poten- tial conflicts and stresses stand-' ards and procedures to avoid or forbid such practices. The conflicts include: --Orienting governmentally - sponsored research to serve pri- vate firms or interests of the re- searcher without telling the uni- versity or sponsoring agency; -Purchasing major equipment, or supplies from firms in which the researcher has an itnerest without disclosing the connection; -Transmitting to a private firm or using for personal gain the products, results, materials or rec- ords of a government-sponsored project; --Using for personal gain "priv- ileged information" such as knowl- edge' of possible new sites for government operations, new pro- grams, and of the selection of contractors or subcontractors; -Negotiating or influencing the negotiations of contracts relating to the staff members research be- tween the university and other organizations the researcher main- tainis an interest ; -Accepting gifts or special fav- ors from organizations with which the university may do business or extending gifts and favors to em- ployes of the sponsoring agency in any way that could be seen as influencing the recipients; -Misleading the univeristy and - --i .nn nmnun-+ a _f in- federal government about the ac- conflicts and to make its staff understand the nature of gov- ernment-private research conflicts 'of interests, the code continues. It should establish accounting procedures to insure that the fed- eral. money is properly spent. A system insuring that the univer- sity knows the potentially con- flicting' outside interests of its re- search staff should be developed, the code adds. The university should establish standards on conflict of interest tions it has taken to avoid these and provide advice on them, the code says. "The above process of disclosure and consultation is the obligation assumed by the university when it accepts government funds for research. The process, must, of course, be carried out in a manner that does not infringe on the le- gitimate freedom and flexibility of action of the university and its staff members that have tradi- tionally characterized a univer- sity," the code declares. Housemother Study Group Established at IHA Meeting PRESIDENTS MEET: State Board To Receive Tentative Master Plan for Higher Education X 5t i X i E C 2 ta By DEBORAH REAVEN Inter-House Assembly Monday night established a committee to review and report on the present action .being taken on "phasing out" housemothers in men's resi- dence halls. A resolution will be presented at the next meeting, Sept. 26. The committee, headed by Russ Jennings, '68, was set up after a petition to retain housemothers was presented by Ron Puma, '69. As an exploratory group, the com- mittee will also consider the sug- gestion that faculty associates re- place the-housemothers, as well as discussing the rationale behind the "phasing out" and alterna- tives other than that of the facul- ty advisors. Otheir action at .the IHA meet- ing included a motion for an ap- propi'iation of $25 to help with publicity costs of a speaker pro- gram to be held in South Quad on Sunday afternoons. Speakers will include Congressman Westion Vi- vian (D-Mich.) , .and gubernatorial candidate Zolton Ferency. From this came the suggestion that IHA create a rotating speak- 'ers' program to reach all the resi- denncehalls. Regents Add Discussion Of Subpoena to Agenda Also in the planning are a series of evening workshops for house officers to be held in early Octo- ber, the establishment of an Ox- ford Council, dinners in the resi- dence halls'with President Hatcher for executive officers, service pro- jects in Ann Arbor, and continu- ation of the brother-sister . pro- gram now including Palmer and Allen Rumsey houses.
