LXXV, No. 40-S ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SATURDAY, JULY 3, 1965 SEVEN CENTS FOUR PAGES Labor Shortage May Hike Building Cost The flniversity, engaged in a massive building program this summer, may be severely affected by the acute shortage of trades workers-a shortage that may get worse before it gets better, James F. Brinkerhoff, director of plant expansion, said yesterday. No exact estimate is available of how many more bricklayers, electricians, mechanical trades and other workers are needed, but the number is high. Even experienced "teamsters" driving all kinds of heavy equipment from transit mix trucks to double-bottomed rigs are in short supply. The University is in the process of constructing Cedar Bend Houses No. 1. The project needs 40 bricklayers, Brinkerhoff said, Tbut only four have been on the $700 Million School Bill Nears Final Vote By ROBERT MOORE The House Education and Labor Committee recently approved a bill which-if passed-would add at least $700 hillion to the federal government's education appropriations. The bill concentrates on first-year "educational opportunity grants" to talented but needy freshmen and on more substantial foundations for student loans, a newsletter of the American Council on Education explained. Over the next three years, funds for freshman opportunity grants would be raised by $235 million, until in 1968 the federal government, under its National Defense and Education Act Student Loan Program, Initiate New Rules at U-C BERKELEY-The University of California initiated new rules yes- terday that give the chancellors of the nine campuses more inde- pendence and the 65,000 students more freedom. The regulations affect nearly every issue that created the Free Speech Movement demonstrations on the Berkeley campus this last academic year. The rules liberalize old regu- lations on rallies, fund-raising, student government, political ac- tivity and off-campus speakers. They also give the chancellors in- creased governmental authority. New Regulation The new regulation prohibits the student "from conduct which significantly interferes with uni- versity teaching, research, admin- istration, the university's subsidi- ary responsibilities," or which en- dangers the safety of the univer- sity community or of campus visi- tors for university-related events. A university spokesman said the ' language was intentionally vague so that the chancellors could in-, terpret the rules in keeping with the needs of the campus. Demonstrations Students demonstrated last fall at Berkeley after former Chancel- lor Edward Strong tried to enforce strictly regulations restricting stu- dent political groups from solicit- ing funds on campus. After the student demonstra- tions ended Strorng resigned. ECOLOGICAL SUR Second S By BARBARA SEYFRIED The second stage of a complete ecological study of a small Mich- igan community under the direc- tion of Dr. Thomas Francis Jr. of the public health school was completed last .Saturday, accord- ing to John A. Napier, research associate in the public health school.' The first two stages of the pro- ject entailed the collection of 4.v job. By August 1 the University will ask contractors to bid on $29.9 million worth of University proj- ects, including; -Medical Science Building No. 2, which is seven stories high, costing $12 million; -Cedar Bend Houses No. 2, a student housing development, es- timated to cost $4 million; -The University Events Build- ing, to be built next to the Michi- gan Stadium, costing $5 million; -Mott Children's Hospital, a 200-bed unit, to be built in the University Medical Center com- plex, and -East Medical Parking Struc- ture, seven levels high, planned to contain parking space for about 1,000 cars. Brinkerhoff, commenting on construction jobs under way and planned, observed, "There is an extreme shortage of building trades workers in almost every category. Both bid prices and length of time to complete' proj- ects will suffer." "We hope through the coopera- tion of the building trades unions and contractors that a more ade- quate supply of trades people will be developed," Brinkerhoff said. Local shortages of trades work- multi-million dollar construction ers revolves in part around huge, jobs which attract workers be- cause of the longer job period and likely overtime paid, to get the projects completed on sched- ule. And there are, many such projects planned and underway in southeast Michigan. Edward J. Kantzler, president of the Ann Arbor Building Trades Council, cited actions the trade union can-and do--take to help relieve the shortage of workers. -Daily-Robert Sheffield FR. KENNETH UNTENER, assistant chancellor of the archdiocese of Detroit, last night dis- cussed the Catholic Church's stand on birth control in a talk at the Gabriel Richard Center, de- scribing the method of the Church as "making use of the most recent knowledge" in discovering the divine plan. Untener ies Birth Control By ROBERT HIPPLER Co-Editor The changes now sweeping the Catholic Church - including its reexamination of its stand on birth control-are the result of a recent development of Catholic beliefs in accordance with new knowledgeand must be viewed in this context to be understood, Fr. Kenneth Untener said last night. In a talk at the Father Richard Center, Fr. Untener, assistant chancellor of the archdiocese of Detroit, explained "as back- ground" that Catholics have a conception of their Church as an unchanging institution with a set of "pigeonholed beliefs." While this conception has been an accurate portrayal of reality for most of the last 400 years- since the retrenching and stand- ardization of Catholic beliefs that, followed the attacks of the Refor- mation-it is becoming less true every day, Fr. Untener said. Changes In recent years, the Catholic Church has changed its beliefs and practices in accordance with modern conditions, he said. Re- VEY: tage of Tecumseh St cent alterations in Church prac- tices-such as revision of liturgy to allow English and local lan- guages to be used instead of Latin -are typical of the changes the Church is undergoing, he added. Changes that go deeper ;han, liturgy are currently under debate in the Ecumenical Council and in the commission Pope Paul VI has established to reexamine the stand of the Church on birth con- trol, Fr. Untener noted. I Under debate in the commission' if the teaching of the Church that artificial contraceptives are against the divine plan. The commission is composed of theologians, doctors and laity. It is reported sharply divided on birth control issues. The commis- sion will report to the Pope when it reaches a decision and the Pope will pronounce on the issue. Past Change To help understand any changes in Church teachings, the observer must understand that "changes in the Church's beliefs on birth con- trol have already been made in the past - changes larger than those under consideration," Fr. Untener said. udy Ends Data have been collected in such diverse areas as heart disease, cerebral palsy, respiratory infec- tions and the relationships be- tween blood groups and fertility. The blood groups used in this case went beyond the A, B, AB and O groupings. Doctors developed 20 different blood groupings based on different parameters. The development of the infant and pre-school child and evalua- tion of health patterns within families and kinship groups were also studied. Major Strength The major strength of the Te- cumseh project, Napier explained, is that it looks at a population within its "natural habitat" over an extended period of time. This provides an opportunity to study patterns in disease and work out casual relationships between en- viornment and disease. Another advantage is that this approach also provides an oppor- tunity to look at a variety of pos- sible influences on health. Also set up within the commun- ity is a ten per cent random sam- ple which enables doctors to run specialized studies in the context of the wealth of medical back- ground available. For example, there has been a great change in the Catholic Church's stand on birth control since the day of St. Thomas Aquinas, he explained. In St. Thomas' era, it was thought that all the conditions necessary for procreation were always present in intercourse. Therefore St. Thomas reasoned that any intercourse without the intent of procreation was sinful because it was against divine plan -which seemed to be that all in- tercourse should result in preg- nancy. More Knowledge Since the day of St. Thomas, a widening knowledge of biology has indicated 'that only during the female period of fertility is con- ception possible. The Church, act- ing on this new knowledge, has concluded that divine plan does not demand that all intercourse result in pregnancy. In accordance with this, the Church has changed its teaching to allow the rhythm method-a practice that allows intercourse during periods of female non- fertility and abstention during periods of fertility. The debate in the papal com- mission today is over whether artifical birth control interferes with divine plan,Fr. Untener said. One faction says that the inter- ference with biological processes would be against divine, plan, while the other holds that such interference is no more serious than the planned periods of inter- course and abstention that con- stitute the rhythm method.. Outcome Uncertain The commission is using all the scientific knowledge available to it to resolve the debate-and the outcome is still uncertain, he said. While the papal commission is deciding the issue, what are the rules which Catholic married couples must follow in regard to birth control? Fr. Untener noted that the disciplinary directive of the Church disallowing birth con- trol is still in effect-but that such directives, since they are not articles of revealed dogma but guidelines provided by the Church, do allow some rare exceptions. Church authorities have indi- cated that if a couple believes conscientiously that, for their par- ticular case, artifical birth control is absolutely necessary to promote their well-being, they can make an exception to the Church's di- rective on birth control, Fr. Un- tener said. But he emphasized that such decisions are of a serious nature and warned against "slipping into subjectivity" in making such a decision. vould be giving out $280 million- in that year for needy freshmen. Encourage Poor Included in the freshman grant program would be a requirement that participating colleges would have to begin studies aimed at identifying and encouraging youths with the mind but not the money to go to college. The Office of Education would be authorized to grant contracts of up to $100,000 per year to in- stitutions which would study the status of students with exceptional financial need and would organ- ize publicity programs to encour- age college dropouts and poor students to get degrees. The second major part of the higher education bill (HR 3220) would set up a program of guar- anteed, subsidized-interest student loans. Loan Program Under the program, student loans made by eligible institutions (banks, credit unions, etc.) would be covered in full by the federal government by insurance. The in-- surance would cover all 'the un- paid principal, but not the in- terest. The maximum insurable loan would be $1,000 for undergradu- ates and $2,000 for graduate stu- dents. Besides the principal, the bill would also help the student out with interest payments. For stu- dents from families having annual incomes of less than $15,000, the government would pay the interest while the student was in college and three percentage points of the interest thereafter. Comprehensive Program Other areas of higher education other than student grants and loans would receive added funds under the bill. Construction grants would be raised by $290 million, added to the presently-approved grants of $550million earmarked for graduate and undergraduate facuilty construction.. The remaining six provisions of the bill would give higher edu- cation $223 million more for its coffers. The bill must be passed by both houses before becoming law. There were no indications of when vot- ing on the bill would begin. Weaver Says Rumors False Two rumors-that maids in the University T o w e r s apartment building would report "wild par- ties" to University officials, and that girls there would be housed together on one floor-were cate- gorically denied recently by Rob- ert Weaver, the builder of the apartment. Asked about the maid rumor, Weaver said that he would fire any maid who served as an in- former. On the otherhrumor, Weaver said that, to the contrary, he would prefer to keep the boys' apartments and girls' apartments mixed because it would keep both quieter. He repeated his prediction that the building will be open in Au- gust. REP. WESTON VIVIAN complete medical histories of in- dividuals in Tecumseh, as well as general information about socio- logical and physical aspects of the community. Napier explained that the pub- lic health school had acquired complete medical data on approx- imately 90 per cent of the people in Tecumseh during the first phase of the study. During the second phase it acquired data on over 9000 people. The final per-' centages have not yet been com- puted. Projected Projects Future projects for more de- tailed investigations of specific aspects of the Tecumseh com- munity are planned. These plans extend further into the future than theworking life of any of the members engaged in the pro- ject at present, according to Nap- ier. The project is designed to continue as long as there are funds to support it. The study treats the Tecumseh area as an ecological community, developing an over-all picture which may help establish char- acteristic patterns for several di- seases and point up casual links between them. The study may also reveal the relationships be- tween diseases and occupations; and modes of living and family traits. Of particular interest to the re- searchers are cardio-vascular di- seases, diabetes, chronic respira- tory diseases and arthritis. Selection Criterion Tecumseh was selected as the area for this study because it is easily accessible from Ann Arbor; it is small enough to make mass examinations of the entire popula- tion (or as many as would par- ticipate); it is large enough to provide a sample of people with diverse backgrounds; and there is a certain amount of community cohesiveness which would make it easier to conduct the experiment. ilarities in diseases between fam-E ilies and kinship groups. Napier noted the gradual Ex- pansion of interest in the Te- cumseh project. When it first started, he said, the public health school was the central focus. Now the public health school and sev- eral departments of the medical school share an interest in the project. He cited the example of the work of Prof. Paul Gieber of the public health school who studied air pollution. Napier also men- HOLIDAY The Daily will not be pub- lished on Tuesday due to the celebration of Independence Day. tioned a weather station which had been developed to study the physical environment of the area. Radiological Health Napier also pointed out work the radiological health department is conducting on a farm in Te- cumseh concerning the milk-food chain of radioactive material. Work is also being done with soil samples and grasses. Commis'sion est A pr oposed site, f r o m the. state of Michigan for a 200-bev accelerator near Ann Arbor will probably survive the Atomic En- ergy Comniission's first screen- ings, according to Rep. Weston E. Vivian (D-Ann Arbor). Vivian.'s comments were made after he had discussed the situa tion with AEC Chairman Glenn T, Seaborg and other commission officials. Vivian said he had assured the commission that representatives of the Legislature had indicated their readiness to acquire a site near Ann Arbor. However, this site proposal is only one of a hundred other proposals which the AEC has received from 42 different states.' Site Requirements According to Robert Burroughs, director of the Office of Research Administration there are numer- ous requirements of the site for the new accelerator. It must be a large one and located on stable ground-it cannot be on swamp ground, he said. A second requirement is that it be easily accessible to scientists from other universities. This means that transportation facili- ties in the area must be good, Burroughs explained. A third requirement is that in- stitutions in the area be capable of maintaining the accelerator. Positive Factors From what we know, Burroughs said, the characteristics of the in- stitutions in this area and acces- sibility of local and distant areas to the proposed site are definitely positive factors. Burroughs pointed out that the National Science Academy would review all the proposed sites and make recommendations." Because of the high cost of building the accelerator, the fed- eral government will finance only one. It is estimated that the con- struction costs will be about $280 million. Pay Raise Now Safe From Veto Faculty To Get $900,000 Hike By The Associated Press LANSING-Gov. George Rom- icy said yesterday he will not e ine veto the $4.9 million in the igher education funds bill ear- narked for faculty pay raises. However, he did hint that he had found other areas where he might slash the budget. The governor also warned that this year's appropriation is the ast in which there will be major increases in funds allocated to higher education unless there is fical reform. Originally Romney recommend- ed a state general fund budget of $788.5 million which the Legis- lature raised to $820.6 million. Be- cause of this, Romny has repeat- edly warned that he would not hesitate to veto some of the spending items, which include funds for faculty pay increases.d The bill contains supplementary appropriations for faculty pay hikes to be divided between the ten state supported universities. Out of the $4.9 million sum, the University and Michigan State University would each receive $900,000. Wayne State University would receive $1.2 million - Romney also indicated that in addition to the $1.2 million allo- cated to WSU under the supple- mentary faculty salary raise ap- propriation, the Detroit school will be appropriated $18.9 million. Romney said "I want to get across to the public the fact that we have been making substantial salary increases in order to catch up after years of fiscal problems when most institutions had to tighten their'belts. He warned, however, that "the Legislature has used up all the room for such Improvement 1p this two-year period." The gov- ernor indicated that -there will be "no future increases without some sort of tax action." University officials are waiting for Romney to sign the entire education bill before they an- nounce a probable tuition hike. Denies Activist Re-enrollment EAST LANSING (A3 - Michi- gan State University has denied readmission to a former gradu- ate student accused of writing articles encouraging other stu- dents to violate MSU regulations. The decision to bar Paul M. Schiff, 24, of New Rochelle, N.Y., was based on a series of Inci- dents, said John Fuzak, MSU vice- president for student affairs. Schiff was a former president of the campus Young Socialist Club. He was editor of "Logos," an off-campus publication that frequently criticized university policies. Fuzak said Schiff was not a student during the just-ended spring term but during that time was involved in incidents which would have led to disciplinary ac- tion if he had been a student. At that time, a hold was placed on his application to reenter MSU, Fuzak said. "It was not just criticism It was advocacy of action" to break MSU regulations that led to MSU's decson, he explained. Fuzak said the local chapter of the American Civil Liberties Un- ion had informed him it wanted a meeting with MSU President John Hannah on the matter. DR. THOMAS FRANCIS JR. To Hear MSU Protest Case t EAST LANSING (,) -A n East Lansing judge is to hear 'a motion July 22 contending a city ordi- nance under which 59 sit-in civil rights demonstrators were arrest- ed is unconstitutional and "vague and indefinite." The 59 were arrested on loiter- ing charges after a late night sit- Aberdeen Optimistic About Student Relocation By JOHN MEREDITH 'David Aberdeen, an Ann Arbor school official, yesterday said he is optimistic about plans to relocate former Jones School pupils in six other elementary schools this fall. The relocation program, an attempt to end de facto racial segregation in the Ann Arbor school system, has been in the planning stage for over a year, Aberdeen explained. In the fall of 1963, the Board of Education declared Jones school-with a student body that was about 78 per cent Negro- a product of the city's de facto segregation in housing and anointed a citizens advisory committee to study racial imbalance The board acted on these recommendations, and, according to schedule, Aberdeen was appointed director, the preschool pro- gram was initiated in February and Jones School was shut down two weeks ago. "During the past year, we have spent a great deal of time with parents, teachers and administrators at both Jones school and the other schools involved to make the reassignment as productive as possible," Aberdeen said. We want to make the relocated students a totally integrated part of their new schools, not a small, isolated segment of their new environment. Rusing Problem are planning to host groups of former Jones pupils during the lunch period." Aberdeen remarked that he is pleased with the help from these individuals and private groups. "It's much better to have the relocation implemented in a decentralized fashion than by a few administrative orders from the top," he said. Personal Contact When a private citizen or group expresses interest in helping with the project, he added, we often bring them into personal contact with parents in the Jones school district. Aberdeen conceded that there 'has been some opposition to the relocation, but said that, since the board decision last summer,
