'Summer Co By RUTH FEUERSTEIN Visitors and students attending the University cannot help but be impressed by the tremendous amount of building expansion going on this summer. John Telfer, assistant to the University architect for planning, explained that a primary purpose of this rapid program is to enable the University to meet its increasing enrollment in both housing and educational facilities. According to James F. Brinkerhoff, director of the plant extension department, there are several important structures under construction this summer. The first of these is the Admin- tive Services Building which will be three stories high and contain 45,000 feet of floor space. Nonstudent office functions will be removed from the central campus into this new locale built by Calvin Robinson Wright Associates. Students taking botany will find an added attraction when they take their first trip to the enlarged Botanical Gardens. The project, financed through federal and University funds, will provide a new greenhouse, additional classrooms and laboratories. Residence Halls Two more living units will be added to help relieve the over- crowding in the tesidence halls. Upperclassmen and graduate rstruction To Greet Fall Student students will be offered privacy at a moderate cost in the Cedar Bend Housing I. Six hundred men and women will be able to live in these new suites, presently being constructed by Swanson Associates. Bursley Hall will satisfy those undergraduates who enjoy living in a coed dormitory, but dislike the impersonality inherent in long, cold-looking corridors. Bursley, containing room for 1200 students, will be built on North Campus and will contain two wings joined by a central area for men and women. The cost of this dormitory will be approximately $8 million. The sum will be met by the income from present residence halls. It is hoped that with the addition of these new housing facilities, some of the present overcrowding will be alleviated. North Campus Center Further building on the expanding North Campus will include the North Campus Center. The center will serve a function similar to the League and contain meeting rooms and a cafeteria. -Daily-Thomas R. Copi This two-level structure will be located on North Campus Blvd. ESEARCH, pictured above, The North Campus Service Building, with its municipal type onstructed on campus this incinerator, will be an unusual addition to the University. The heat that will be generated from the burning rubbish will be used as steam for a laundry that will be built nearby. Another purpose of the building program is to provide facili- ties for research, Brinkerhoff continued. The Space Research Building, also on North Campus, will be finished this summer. It will be occupied by groups who are under research and study contracts sponsored by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Institute for Social Research An eight-story building that will be ready late in the fall is the Institute for Social Research. Laboratories, offices and research facilities will be housed in this new structure on Thompson St. Brinkerhoff also described buildings which are presently in the planning stage, but will be started before the end of 1965. The University Events Building will be the site of future com- mencements, convocations and athletic events. Enrollment in the Dental School will increase by 50 per cent when the new Dental Building is completed, Brinkerhoff said. A suspended two-story library and easy connections between all parts of the building will make this structure attractive as well as functional. THE INSTITUTE FOR SOCIAL RE is one of the many buildings being c summer.

Junta Slow To Bargain 4- With Rebels SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic (Al)-Backstage negotia- tions moved ahead yesterday for creation of a coalition government under Antonio Guzman, wealthy, planter and political liberal, de- spite objections from the military- civilian junta. Guzman, minister of agriculture in the government of deposed President Juan Bosch, met with Col. Francisco Caamano Deno, president of the rebels' "Constitu- tionalist" government. A rebel spokesman said after- ward the talks, aimed at restor- ing a single government, after more than a month of fighting, were "very advanced." U.S. Support? Guzman reportedly has United States support, although sources said American Ambassador W.r Tapley Bennett, Jr. told Brig. Gen. Antonio Imbert Barrera, the junta president, that the U.S. was not trying to impose its will on the Dominican Republic. Noting Imbert's strong opposi- tion to Guzman, a U.S. spokesman' described prospects for a quick final settlement as still dim., Caamano meanwhile s p o k e briefly over the rebel radio saying his side was willing to negotiate with the various international peacemakers because they have "the fundamental duty of helping in the search for practical and just solutions that will not injure the dignity or the sovereign rights, of the people." Coalition Backing T-~ taaat idri. tw dhoth1 The Senate passed a bill last night extending the State Research Fund for one year and increasing its appropriations to $1 million. "This appropriation is $350,000 more than Gov. George Romney recommended," Sen. Gilbert Bursley (R-Ann Arbor) explained last night. "The State Research Fund enables Michigan's colleges and uni- versities to conduct programs aimed at advancing the state's econo- my," Bursley added. "However, school programs must first be approved by a state agency and the legislature to qualify for aid." He commented that the University has received financial support, from the fund on four occasions in the past.

It is their job to determine whether or not appli- cants are qualified to enter the University. However, this is only half of their job. The staff of the Admissions Office also serves as "attracting agents" for the University. Working mainly in Michigan, members of -- the 40-man staff participate in session on campus is one example of a State Research Fund project being conducted by the University. Broader "The bill passed last night is, broader than the comparable measures in effect for the past year, in that the new law broad- ens the program to include private as well as state schools," Bursley added. "I doubt, however, that any private schools other than the University of Detroit will be able to take advantage of this.". The bill will now be sent to the House where it will join several other education bills in line for passage soon. One of these is the $51 million operating funds budget for the University next year. This approp- riation measure, approved by the Senate last week, probably will not come to a House vote for an- other week. House-Originated Bills 'The House must first act on all appropriationsbills originated in its own committees before tak- ing up measures passed in the Senate." Bursley explained. The budget appropriations bill originated in the Senate Approp- riations Committee. The major action taken by the House last night was passage of a bill raising legislators salaries from $10,000 to $15,000 per year. The House also postponed action on an appropriations bill for ele- mentary and secondary schools. High School Funds However, Rep. Marvin Esch (R- Ann Arbor) predicted that the bill will pass with an increase of $67- 69 million over last year. Esch expected that this bill and a proposal to create a new four- year state college in the Saginaw Valley area will be taken up today. The Saginaw Valley proposal has been the center of considerable controversy recently. i Esch said, however, that the proposal probably will pass today without an exact location for the school being specified. MSU Rights e:E 'Action Goes "Ridiculous' A long series of protests against housing discrimination in East Lansing blossomed into the ridicu- lous last night, but the issue of "open house discrimination" re- mains unsettled. Last night some 20 protestors marched from the' Michigan State University campus to the state capital, ostensibly on a "Keep the Peace in Luxembourg" march. Ac- tually, an MSU observer explain- ed, they were protesting what they called abuses in use of protests against discrimination. Among the protests which the dissenters were mocking was a sit-in on MSU President John Hannah's lawn. The demonstra- tion did not come off, an observer told The Daily last night. More serious action did, how- ever ,take place in the long-stand- ing discrimination question that has caused concern among many MSU students. The MSU "State News," daily student newspaper, has received Tharges saying it has not followed its charter. The News has an ad- vertising policy which states that the paper will not accept adver- tising from any advertiser that discriminates. Several fraternities and sorori- ties on the MSU campus, the Tharges said, had "white Chris- tian" clauses in their constitu- tions. These groups use News ad- vertising for events such as "rush" and homecoming events. Groups have applied pressure upon the News to "live up to its policies" and refuse to accept ad- vertising from groups who dis- criminate. By DEBORAH ISACKSON "Window's are a necessity of the past," Theodore Larson, architecture researcher at the University, said recently. Larson at present heads a group of architecture research- ers who, for the past five years have been exploring the ques- tion of how the learning process is affected by school environ- ment. The idea implicit in the field of 'building research is to treat a "space" or environ- ment as a totality which can be controlled or modified for the direct benefit of the oc- cupants and whatever they might be doing. Less Attention As Benjamin Handler, who was in charge of this phase of the project, pointed out, "It is an astonishing fact that the problem of human requirements has received less attention than >ther kinds of building research. After all, buildings are design- ed for people, and an under- standing of what you are de- signing for should" be -the first order of business. Yet, what should be first is the last problem to which building re- search has been directed." The problem with which the group of researchers is pri- marily concerned is that of de- termining what effects, if any, windowless classrooms have up- on students. Five years ago in Wayne, Michigan, several ordinary classrooms, with windows, were converted to windowless struc- tures. The students' abilities were charted before, during and after the change. Primary Objective The primary objective was to find out if there were and de- tectable differences in learning achievement after the students had been in the windowless classrooms for one year, Larson continued. The, rate and level of learn- ing in a windowless envir6n- ment were compared to the rate and level of learning that prevailed in this same school when the classrooms were fully equipped with windows. To compensate for the loss of daylight which was formerly furnished by the windows, extra strips of fluorescent. lamps were installed. In addition, supple- mentary ventilating systems were added to each. classroom. All findings indicated that classrooms without, windowsdid not, in any way, effect the learning process. However, re- searchers and school officials were pleased with the results, for windowless, classrooms are much cheaper to build and operate, and through artificial means, allow for more even ventilation and lighting. Teachers Enthusiastic In addition, many teachers were enthusiastic about the windowless schools, for more wall space was made available and classroom attention im- proved. However, many educators are against this type of construc- tion for they say that teachers will become lethargic. Instruc-. tors, they argue, would no long- er be compelled to make presen- tations interesting since they wouldn't have to compete with what's happening outside. Many parents became con- cerned when they learned that the schoolhouse was to be "boarded up by a crew of es- thetically insensitive carpen- ters," Larson said. A widespread fear grew among these parents that ,their children might become psycho- patic since there would be no windows through which the youngsters could stare outdoors. This concern grew to such proportions that researchers were compelled to assure par- ents that the program would be imediately terminated if there was any sign that a stu- dent's health vas being impair- ed, Larson explained. Throughout the experiment, however, no adverse mental or physical conditions were noted.

By ELAINE EMERMAN At the Institute of Social Re- search highly specialized informa- tion is collected for the objective study of man and his society. One recent publication by Angus Campbell, director of the Survey Research Center, and William C. Eckerman, assistant director of Student Activities Center Plans Summer Program By ADA JO SOKOLOV The University Activities Center's newly-formed summer com- mittee announced yesterday its events schedule for the summer, a list which includes jazz concerts, beach trips, a film festival and a street dance. Henry Chaffee, '67, summer committee chairman said that although he was pleased with the progress so far, he is "sorry (that the summer committee could the Field Staff Research Center, concerns the public concepts of the values and costs of higher education. It is difficult for public un- derstanding to keep pace with the rapidly changing situation of the nation's colleges and universities, Campbell said. "We move into a growing conflict between public demand for the benefits of edu- cation and public failure to sup- port a tax program which will make these greatly expanded serv- ices possible," he continued. According to Campbell, most people feel that education is as- sociated with professional success. When asked if it is true that a college education is more impor- tant now than it was 20 years ago, the typical response is af- firmative. Strong Awareness There is a strong awareness of the personal advantages of more technical training, Campbell said. However, the public emphasis is on personal and economic values rather than values of national or social strength. Concepts of education vary with economic and educational levels but the consideration of a healthy society and rewards beyond an individual level is mentioned by a relatively small percentage of those interviewed, Campbell con- tinued. American ideals being high, it seems that people have widely in- herited the belief that every child has a right to be educated. The quality and extent included in this right vary among-regions. In some Southern, states,.for ex- ample, standards and expectations are lower than in Michigan. The people- are, however, rarely con- scientious enough to be prepared to recommend expenditure policy for the state, Campbell explained. Federal Support Federally supported education is most worrisome to people of high- er educational background. Con- cerning the proper role of the gov- ernment, Democrats are more sympathetic towards federal sup- port than Republicans, he said. LANDMARKS AND LEARNING: FourStudentsinRussian Scool Trip By SUSAN MORGAN I - A Forty students from 22 colleges and universities, including four from the University, will participate in the Summer Tour Program sponsored by the Slavic language department. The eight-week period coincides with the University summer half-term, IIIB. The first five weeks will consist of intensive language study in third or fourth year Russian, with stress on speaking and listening comprehension. Then the 40 students will, spend three weeks touring Russia. The group, accompanied by two faculty members, will begin the tour Aug. 5, concentrating on Leningrad, Moscow and Kiev. Testing after former tours has indicated that the eight-week pro- gram produces achievement in Russian comparable to two years of l nllprp 'Zh,,varning n the + nntionn] Educational Testina Service. not have gotten started earlier this year because then we could have accomplished more for the spring term."
