Budget
Bill-Tale of Efforts
To
Augment
It
By RUTH FEUERSTEIN
May 18, 1965, marked the passage of a bill in the Senate,
through which $184.3 million would be used to finance the state's
colleges and universities.'
If the measure is passed in the House, the University will
receive $1.1 million more than was originally allotted to it by Gov.
George Romney.
The passage of this bill would represent the culmination of
a long series of efforts which have occurred during the past year
to increase funds for education.
Expressed Need
In November, 1964, Mary Ellen Riordan, president of the De-
troit Federation of Teachers, expressed the urgent need for money
when she said, "state school aid does not even attempt to provide
the minimum revenue to operate the schools."
Wayne State University and Michigan State University seemed
to be in agreement with her views. Both universities requested addi-
tions to their budgets because of unexpected and expanding en-
rollments.
The cost of an increased student population plus the need for GOV. GEORGE ROMNEY
expanded facilities were two of the main reasons underlying the
University's request for $55.7 million in state funds for 1965-66
operations.
Sets New Record
Part of this money would also be used for repairs and main-
tenance, public service functions and teaching supplies. The sum
set a new record. It was $11.6 million over the previous year's
appropriation of $44.1 million.
On Feb. 2, 1965, Romney requested a budget of $50 million for
the University. Senate Majority Floor Leader Basil Brown (D-
Detroit) said that Romney's record budget was inadequate, and
predicted that the Legislature would probably still appropriate
additional funds, which it did.
Administrators at the University were disappointed by Rom-
ney's failure to include funds in his budget for expansion in Flint.
Marvin L. Niehuss, executive vice-president, explained the diffi-
culty that this situation caused as freshmen had already been
accepted to attend the Flint Campus.
Recommendation
On April 7, the State Board of Education recommended that
the University continue with its plans to admit freshmen at Flint,
but only for this year. Romney would not comment on the board's
ruling.
Romney was also against the establishment of a two-year
medical college at Michigan State University and a four-year
extension of the Michigan Technological University at Sault Ste.
Marie.
Romney's budget was again termed "inadequate" by State
Democratic Chairman Zolton Ferency who proposed the floating
of a $50 million bond issue "to accommodate next fall's influx of
students." He was also opposed to the 'head count" means of
deciding on appropriations which has been suggested by many as
the basis of Romney's budget plan.
Upholds Hatcher's View
Ferency upheld President Harlan Hatcher's claim that the
University should be receiving more funds due to its extensive
graduate school programs.
Then, on May 18, some of the objections to Romney's plan
seemed to be heeded as the recommendation of the Senate Appro-
priations Committee for $51 million as the University's budget
passed in the Senate. The bill will now go to the House to be
prepared by the Ways and Means Committee for final House action.

Ohio State University's Free Speech Front's Wednesday's an- p

ance on the OSU campus today at 4 p.m. has aroused intentions onV
both sides to stand firm.
OSU President Novice G. Faucett said in a prepared statemente

500 Community
By CHARLOTTE WOLTER
An Arbor's plan for a commun-
ty college reflects a growing
rend in education in this coun-
ry. There are over 500 of these
olleges in the United States with
private institutions accounting for
only 10 per cent of this number.
With at least 25 new two-year
colleges opening each fall, and
more accelerated growth predict-
ed, their impact should be impor-
ant.
Community colleges have been
stablished primarily in urban
areas, where the demand for col-
ege entrance and technical train-
ng ware greatest. The colleges are
nonresidential with student bodies
of great diversity in background
and age.
The curricula are as diverse as
he students. Some of these col-
eges concentrate on preparation

versity, while others stress tech-
many of the students in commun-
ity colleges, this is the first time
that they have given serious con-
sideration to education. There-
fore they need careful direction in
their vocational and academic
planning.
For this reason the colleges try
to remain small, usually establish-
ing another campus when enroll-
ments reach 5,000.
Other Systems
In states such as California,
New York, Florida and Michigan
extensive community and junior
college systems have been estab-
lished. California's is the most I

Theoretically any high school'
graduate with "the ability to pro-I

Bill To Protect
Puerto iicans'
Voting Rights
WASHINGTON (P)-The Senate
wrote into the Voting Rights Bill
yesterday a provision to prevent
Spanish-speaking Puerto Ricans
in New York from being denied
ballots because their education
was not in English.
The vote was 48 to 19 with sev-
eral Southern opponents of the
bill backing the amendment and
others denouncing it as uncon-
stitutional federal dictation of a
state's voter qualification laws.
Meanwhile, a bipartisan leader-
ship petition aimed at shutting off
debate on the bill was being wrap-
ped up for introduction today. It
had 32 signatures, double the re-
quired 16.
Confident of Success
Republican Leader Everett M.
Dirksen of Illinois expressed confi-
dence that in the showdown next
Tuesday the talk-limiting move
will be backed by the required
two-thirds majority of senators
voting. If this cloture move suc-
ceeds each senator's time on the
bill and all amendments will be
limited to one hour.
The amendment aimed at guar-
anteeing voting rights for Puerto
Ricans in New York was sponsor-
ed by the state's senators, Demo-
crat Robert F. Kennedy and Re-
publican Jacob K. Javits.
Kennedy said he would prefer
that New York handle the prob-
lem but added that it has not
done so and federal steps are
needed.

pective voter to prove his literacy

students who choose to violate
existing university rules."
Hopeful Attitude
Jeffrey Schwartz, leader of FSF
and spokesman for the group, said
at a press conference last night,
"I sincerely hope I will not be
expelled."
He went on to say that most
FSF members felt that the ad-
ministration had not given suffi-
cient evidence to support their
wish to have the OSU speaker's
ban examined by a board of fac-
ulty advisors in July.
"I am assuming that if there is
any trouble it will not be caused
by us or our speaker," he said.
"Our plans include making every
attempt to avoid disorder."
Schwartz said that Aptheker
would appear in person on the
OSU campus today as planned.
There was speculation on whether
Aptheker's speech would be re-
layed to the campus via closed
circuit television or some other,
means.
Schwartz has denied this. He
declined to say if Aptheker would
actually speak today or simply
make an appearance on campus.
John T. Bonner Jr., executive
dean of student relations at OSU,
said "we are very sorry he
(Schwartz) and his people have
taken this course of action. We
undoubtedly will respond."
No Official Action
He added that no official action
by the university nor would it
take place until Aptheker actually
appeared.
Schwartz and an assistant met
with Faucett earlier this week.
Both have declined to comment
on the meeting.
The controversy arouse last
April 21 when OSU Vice-President
John Corbally Jr. informed the
student organization which had
invited Aptheker to speak that in
all probability such a speech
would not be allowed.
The OSU speaker rules, passed
by the University's Board of Trus-
tees 14 years ago, forbids campus
speakers to speak oft anything
but what is in the "best and over-
all interests of the university." The
OSU administration has said that
if Aptheker appears on campus it
will be in violation of the speaker
rule.
The university could, under
state law, arrest him for trespass-
ing and use state and universityI
police to enforce the speaker rule.
In connection with Aptheker's
visit, Donna Trugman, of OSU's
Human Relations Commission of
Students and various other stu-
dents have circulated petitions

Student Body President Thomas

The reason for his proposed im-
peachment is his "failure to take
any sort of definitive stand" on
the crisis precipitated by the ad-
ministration's stand on Aptheker's
nical-vocational courses.

Independent Study Course

from the Literary College Curriculum Committee.

U.S. Continue
Viet Attacks
SAIGON, Viet Nam ()--United
States warplanes carried their re-
newed attacks on North Viet-
namese targets into the fourth
day yesterday, to hit two PT
boats 85 miles south of Hanoi.
A military spokesman said two
Navy A4 Skyhawks escorted by
two F8 Crusaders left one boat
"burning fiercely" and the other
smoking.
More than 100 planes took part
in Wednesday's forays, which in-
cluded a propaganda leaflet raid
55 miles south of Hanoi and a
bombing raid against the Phuoc
Loi Naval Base 165 miles from the
capital.
Ground War
In the ground war, Viet Cong
guerrillas used mortars for the
first time against U.S. Marines.
A brief barrage killed one man
and wounded two of a Marine pa-
trol in brush-covered foothills 15
miles southwest of the Da Nang
Air Base.
U.S. paratroopers came un-
scathed through a light encounter
with the enemy in another sector.
Propaganda Raid
The propaganda raid in the
north was made by 25 U.S. Air
Force Thunderchiefs. Acting on
behalf of Saigon's Information
Ministry, they' dropped a half
million leaflets in the Ninh Binh
area, 35 miles south of Hanoi, call-
ing on the Communists to drop
"their aggression and sabotage
in South Viet Nam" or face more
disastrous consequences.
Addressing North Vietnamese
servicemen, the pamphlets said,
"Our brothers in the army of
North Viet Nam, don't let the
Chinese and Vietnamese Com-
munists use your bones and blood
to wage a fratricidal war in South
Viet Nam."
The spokesman said the Thun-
derchiefs on this mission made the
closest approach to Hanoi of the
air campaign. The closest an-
nounced bombing raid was an at-
tack April 3 on a river bridge 65
miles south of the capital.
