New Committee
To Steer Higher Education Plan
By LAURENCE MEDOW
A study-steering committee for
the development of the State
Board of Education's Master Plan
for Higher Education will hold its
firstkmeetinghtoday in Lansing,
marking another step toward the
completion of the long-awaited
plan.
The. steering committee, com-
posed of deans and vice-presidents
from state colleges and univer-
sities, will act in an advisory capa-
city to Harold T. Smith, project
director for the development of
the plan.
The committee will help to de-
termine what studies will be need-
ed toround out the plan and aid
in setting up the staff required to
conduct the studies, Smith ex-
plaihed.
It will also help to set up ad-
visory committees composed of
faculty representatives, business
and professional groups and stu-
dent representatives.
Dean Stephen Spurr of the
Rackham School of Graduate Stu-
dies .will represent the University
on the steering committee.
Discussed by educators for al-
most a decade, the naster plan
is intended to establish uniform
guidelines which can be applied
to individual policy decisions re-
lating to Michigan's rapidly ex-
panding system of higher educa-
tion.

dealt with by the master plan in- summer of 1967. This may not be fred Kaplan of the math dept. Smith, referring to his work as Kaplan said he thought faculty

development of the plan since
many of the things that should be
changed can best be stated by stu-
dents. He cited the area of hous-
ing as one example.

should be included and is anxious
to determine a place for them.

Collegiate Press Service
CHICAGO-A $1 million effort'
to improve U.S. college chemistry
courses-particularly for the non-
chemistry major-went into full
operation this fall.
Most universities are already do-
ing a good job with the students
who will make their careers in the
field, acording to Dr. L. Carroll
King, chairman of the newly or-
ganized Advisory Council on Col-
lege Chemistry.
rThehbiggestnproblem in the
area," he explains, "is how to de-
vise a good chemistry course for
the students going into the arts,
the humanities, journalism, edu-
cation or the social sciences-"
Grant Finances Development
The Council, with headquarters
at Stanford University, will fi-
nance the development of new ed-
ucational aids and curricula on
college campuses across the coun-
try under a two-year grant from
the National Science Foundation.
The usual offering to the non-
chemistry major has been the
4 "survey course." But, King says,
"'The survey course has never
really worked. Its general short-
coming is that it teaches theory
as fact. The whole character of
scientific knowledgehand the
means scientists use to solve prob-
lems have been neglected."
As an alternative, King suggests
that a specially designed "general
science" chemistry class might be
offered to non-majors. Such a
course would be designed to ex-
plain to the students what scienceF
is and has accomplished, how it
operates and why it is doing what
it does.
Explains Nature, Content
The course would explain some-
thing of the nature of science as
well as its content to the non-
science students who will be future
legislators, historians, artisks and
teachers.

WASHINGTON-SECRETARY OF STATE Dean Rusk said
last night the United States still hopes for "a more considered
reply" from the Communists to U.S. proposals for scaling down
or ending the war in Viet Nam. The Communists have publicly
rejected U.S. proposals.
Rusk also made a new bid for discussion of U.S. proposals
with the Communists, saying that if there is uncertainty about
their meaning "the way to clear it up is through discussion."
NEW YORK-THE STOCK MARKET roared ahead yester-
day to its biggest single day's gain in almost three years.
Some Wall Streeters said the surge in the final trading hours
was linked to yesterday's statement by Secretary of Commerce
John T. Connor that there are no present indications economic
controls will be needed to support the Viet Nam war.
The Dow Jones average of 30 industrial stocks closed up
19.54 points at 778.17, the highest one-day advance since Nov.
26, 1963 when it gained 32.02 points in its recovery after President
John F. Kennedy's assassination.
Brokers were encouraged by the market's jump.
One said that the action was certainly a sign that "a bottom
has been reached for this decline in 1966."
WASHINGTON-THE GENERAL ELECTRIC Co. made a new
contract offer last night-described by White House mediators
as "a slight improvement"-but it was immediately rejected by
11 unions whose 125,000 members are scheduled to strike Monday.
Secretary of Commerce John T. Connor, speaking for the
presidential mediation panel, said "Are're at dead center" in
efforts to avert the walkout which the government says would
injure the Viet Nam war effort.
President Paul Jennings of the AFL-CIO International Union
of Electrical Workers, the biggest of the 4 1-union combine nego-
tiating with the giant company, called General Electric's latest
offer "insignificant."
UNIVERSITY ACTIVITIES CENTER will sponsor a campus-
wide volunteer drive today and tomorrow from 8-5.
The drive's purpose is to give students the opportunity to'
sign up to work with various charitable organizations in the Ann
Arbor community. It will also give those organizations a chance
to recruit the help they need.
EIGHT FINALISTS IN THE HOMECOMING queen contest
were chosen last night and announced by Special Events co-
chairmen Howard Weinblatt, '68 and Maureen Anderman, '68.
The girls and their sponsoring organizations are (in alphabetical
order): Christine Anderson, '67, Delta Tau Delta; Margaret
Asman, '68, Alpha Phi; Julie Emerson, '67, Kappa Alpha Theta;
Lypn Goldsmith, '69, Delta Phi Epsilon; Rusti Hansher, '69,

The State Legislature will in-
vestigate the University's unpre-
cedented decision to build a $300,-
000 house for Nu Sigma Nu Med-
ical fraternity.
Rep.. Jack Faxon (D-Detroit),
chairman of the House Subcom-
mittee on Higher Education, says
he plans to consult the state at-
torney general's office on the mat-
ter. Rep. Faxon, who also plans
to question University officials
here on the matter today, explains
.that "The University may need a
special resolution from the Leg-
islature to build this housing
mb unit."
the The special resolution may be
required because the University is
serving as a tax shield for the
fraternity, Faxon explains.
"There is a serious question of
whether the University is aiding
a conspiracy for some citizens to
defraud the government of income
tax," says Rep. George F. Mont-
gomery (D-Detroit), a member of
the subcommittee.
