Residential College
Publicity Campaign
By MICHAEL HEFFER
The residential college planning
committee has just completed a
brochure about the new college
for distribution to all potential
freshmen
The brochure, which will be sent
to all high schools requesting in-
formation about the literary col-
lege, serves as a first introduction
to the residential college.
Prof. Theodore Newcomb of the
sociology and psychology depart-
ments, said yesterday that Uni-
versity field counselors about to
speak to high school students
throughout Michigan, predict a
great interest in the college.
Admissions Procedures
Newcomb, on the faculty plan-
ning committee for the college, has
been working with the admissions
office on admissions procedures,
and has met with all admissions
interviewers, explaining what to
the residential college, said he has

Associate Dean Burton Thuma
of the literary college, director of
received many inquiries about the
ccollege. He said the information
brochure is designed to answer
these questions, but that if neces-
sary, special interviews will be ar-
ranged.
The residential college commit-
tee hopes to admit the same pro-
portion of honor and average stu-
dents, men and women, in-state
and out-of-state students, that the
literary college has, so that its
t success will not be attributed to
a special, 'honors' student body.
At present, all applications for
admission into the literary college
have a space where students can
indicate interest in the residential
college.
Special Application
Once a student is accepted to
the literary college and fills out a
special application for the resi-
dential college, the committee
members will examine his appli-
cation. They will then send a
large number of these applica-
tions to the Survey Research Cen-
ter to determine how many of
each type of student. i.e. men from
out-of-state cities, are applying
and how many should be accepted
to have the same proportion the
literary college has.
The - committee will accept 228
students for each of the next two
years. or about seven per cent of
applicants to the literary college.
Although final plans call for
freshman classes of about 400 stu-
dents, the first two classes will be
much smaller because 228 is all
the two houses in East Quad-
rangle that the residential college
will occupy, can hold.
Starting Small
Newcomb said that otherwise
they would have had to use four
houses, two for men and two for
women, which would have meant
500 students. He said that it is bet-
ter to start small than large, add-
ing that there are "as many prob-
lems in a small college as in a
large one."
He feels that East Quadrangle

poses.
"Thuma added that the commi-
t e plans, for sometime possibly
late next month, to hold a meet-
in, for faculty to discuss the resi-
dential college and the role and
si-ection of professors for it.
Late World News
By The Associate Press
ATLANTA, Ga.-HARDLINE segregationist Lester G. Maddox,
who follows the views of Alabama's Gov. George C. Wallace,
scored an upset victory last night and won the Democratic nomi-
nation for governor. He defeated Ellis G. Arnall, who ran on a
moderation platform.
With 1,693 of 1,908 precincts reported: Maddox led Arnall
401,037 to 332,800.
The runoff votes upended the Sept. 14 primary results which
placed Arnall first and Maddox second, by about 45,000 in a six-
man field. Arnall said last week he might lose and charged that
Republicans were supporting Maddox as an easier opponent for
GOP nominee Howard H. Callaway, the state's only Republican
congressman.

of trustees in November and to further discussion next term.
If approved, rankings would be eliminated in July, 1967.
UNIVERSITY STUDENTS who wish to secure grants under
the Fulbright-Hays Act for graduate study or research abroad
during 1967-68, or for study and professional training in the

legislation which created this government-sponsored exchange
program. Since 1946, approximately 15,000 grants have been
awarded to American graduate students for study in countries
throughout the world.
MICHGAN STATE UNIVERSITY'S Academic Council yes-
terday continued debate on the Faculty committee report con-
cerning student freedom.
The report, released in June, was first reviewed last Tuesday.
At that time, the council accepted, in principle, the statement
endorsing editorial freedom for the student staff of the State
News, MSU's newspaper. The individual details for a change in
policy, however, must be reformulated and resubmitted. The pres-
ent system for the paper includes an advisor who has the power
to change or censor anything before it is printed.
The next meeting of the Council to consider these points
will be held in two weeks.

DUAL THEME FOR SESQUIGRAS
Centered around the duo themes of bigness and "Nothing Is Impossible," the central and standing committees mass meeting for Ses-
quigras-formerly Winter Weekend-was held last night in the Union. Because Winter Weekend fell short of student expectations
during the past two years and because 1967 is the sesquicentennial anniversary of the University, the University Activities Center has
changed the name of this February event and is seeking to broaden its scope in a number of ways. Although no plans are definitely
made, the Sesquigras schedule is pointed in the direction of two concerts, one on Thursday night and the traditional Saturday night
performance of the winter weekend, a possible farewell address by President Harlan Hatcher, the traditional diag games, and the
invocation of faculty skits in honor of the sesquicentennial. Petitians for the Sesquigras committees are to be handed in at the UAC
offices in the Union by Monday afternoon at 3 p.m.

Daily News Analysis
Next week the University will
present to the legislature its re-
quest for its 1967-68 state appro-
priation, the largest in history.
The ritual will begin, and the
budget will take its annual journey;
through the Lansing labyrinth,
emerging sometime next spring in
its finished form.
Yet this coming request may be
one of the last to be submitted in
the traditional object of expendi-
ture form. The state has asked
that beginning in the 1968-69 re-'
quests, all budgets be reported in
program budget form.
Program budgeting is a product
of the business world, where ex-
ecutives needed a system to fore-
cast needs and resources years in-
to the future. With program
budgeting, each request for funds
must be accompanied by a list of
goals, and these priorities of
space, manpower, equipment, etc.
are eventually reduced to dollars.
Program Budgeting System
When Robert McNamara left
Ford Motor Co. and became Sec-
retary of Defense, he imposed the
program budgeting system on the
Defense Dept. The new method
proved so efficient that in late
1965 President Johnson directed
all executive branches of the gov-
ernment to convert to PPBS (Pro-:
grammed Planning Budget Sys-
tem).
From the federal level, PPBS is
now being adopted at the state
level. However, it has not yet been
used comprehensively at any uni-
versities, since it presents some
distinct problems to the adminis-
trators and planners.
Program budgeting hinges a
great deal on one's ability to eval-
uate the success of a certain in-
vestment of money, such as a cor-
poration's expenditures on plant
improvement. In the field of edu-
cation, however, one encounters an
obstacle in the evaluation of a
program's worth. For instance,
how can the value of scholarly
research be weighed in terms of
dollars and cents?
Long-Range Planning
Program budgeting is designed
to classify the decision-makingc
process so that mistakes can be
located and corrected. But what
is easy to judge in the business
world is not always so in the Uni-
versity, and this is one of theE
challenges t h a t the program,
budgeting system offers.
Yet the other side of the coin
Besides giving the University a
valuable timetable of priorities, a
program budget would further re-I
duce departmental variations to a
common denominator. That is, the
system would require projected ex-
penses to be evaluated in the same
units for every facet of the Uni-
versity.
Program budgeting would also
ease the painful priority system,
where, in the final evaluation, de-
partmental projects are chopped
off in the financial squeeze.
Though the new method would not
necessarily increase the availabil-
ity of funds, it would more clearly
delineate goals and priorities for
the entire University complex.
The University's conversion to a
progranm budget is an evolutionary
process, according to James E.
Lesch, assistant to the vice-presi-
dent for academic affairs. The
£'LUvNS-'NS' ident Hatcher alluded to the col-
