key permission to leave their
housing units after closing.
Continuing in a liberal trend,
the survey indicates that the num-
ber and length of automatic late
permissions (ALP's) should be:
seniors: more than 10 of 3 hours
in length; juniors: 8 (sororities)
or 10 (residence halls) of. 2 hours
in length; sophomores: 8 of 2
hours each; freshmen: 8 of eith-
er 1 or 2 hours. Presently, sen-
iors have no hours, juniors have
eight ALP's of two hours each
while sophomores and freshmen
have no ALP's.
The majority of pollees felt
that ALP's should be extended to
guests, with sororities favoring the
requirement "only if the guest
returns with the hostess." The
survey states that this "is due, in
great part, to the smaller living
unit of the sorority where there is
no staff to wait up for girls."
Relax Rules
Pollees also showed a desire for
relaxing overnight permission
rules. The survey indicates a pref-
erence for such permissions any,
day of the week for juniors and
seniors. Sorority women feel that
sophomores should not have over-
night permissions, but residence-
hall women favor sophomore over-
night permissions Friday and Sat-
urday. Both housing groups indi-
cated that freshmen should not
have such permissions.
"Freshmen women should be
permitted to visit men's non-Uni-
versity approved housing," receiv-
ed an overwhelming yes vote.
Necessary Information
Information to be registered for
daily sign-outs should. be name,

,t

expected time of return and room
number. This would eliminate the
present requirement of naming a
specific destination and time oaf
departure. The poll indicates a
strong opinion on this question in
residence halls and a negligible
opinion in sororities.
Also serving on the committee
with Miss Groth were Pat Elkins,
'64, president of Panhellenic As-
sociation and Charlene Hager, '64,
president of Assembly Association.
"Now we will meet with admin-
istrators from OSA and with stu-
dent leaders to discuss the results
of the survey," Miss Groth said.
Recommendations may be made
later to the administration on the
basis of the results.

them, and the Peace Corps will
send specific invitations to those
whose performance on the tests
is outstanding.
The tests will be given at the
Union at the following times:
Monday at 7 p.m.; Tuesday
through Friday at 9 a.m., 3 p.m.,;
and 7 p.m.; and Saturday at 9
a.m. and noon.
Speakers
Among the Peace Corps group
will be George Nicolau, a former
labor lawyer who is now deputy
Director of Special Projects in
the Peace Corps' Washington of-
fice and Graham, who, after a
tour as Associate Director of Pub-
lic Affairs in Washington, is now
director of the Peace Corps' proj-f
ect in Tunisia.
Also present will be Dr. Merlin

Brubaker, a Medical Program Of-
ficer who will arrange talks with
nurses, doctors, and those in pub-
lic health, and Miss Georgianna
Shine, a returned Peace Corps vol-
unteer from Ghana.
The Peace Corps is looking for,
geologists, nurses,. social workers,
lawyers, lab technicians, dieti-
tians, librarians, farmers, philoso-
phy students, and athletes. It also
wants English, science, math and
language majors, and is interested
in people from every field of study.
Michigan was fourth among
American universities last year in
supplying the Peace Corps with
volunteers. The University of Cal-
ifornia/ at Berkeley was first with
222 volunteers, followed by Wis-
consin with 145, Stanford with 135,
and Michigan with 126 volunteers.

Students Eye Proposed Reading Plan

V,

'67, maintained. "The fact that
the exams are over before Christ-
mas strongly overrules any objec-
tions to the present calendar," she
added.
Other freshmen supported a
free period before exams, but felt
that a week was too long. "One
day would be okay, but I think a
whole week would be a waste of
time-I'd rather take my exams as
soon after the class is over as pos-.
sible," one student said. "One day
or maybe two days, but definitely
no more," Thomas H. Mourant,
'68A&D, declared. "Three days
would be better," another student
replied. "A couple of days in addi-
tion to the weekend would be suf-
ficient," Kenney said.
Donald L. Palmer, '67, would
like a reading period if it could
be established within the current
calendar; he would be opposed if
it added a week to the term. An-
other student wrote that "an elim-
ination of the last week of vaca-
tion would make more sense --
this week could be employed for a
two-week distribution of finals."
Dean Stephen H. Spurr of the,
natural resources school, who is
also primarily responsible for the
implementation of the trimester,
has repeatedly stressed the signifi-
cance of freshman reaction to the
new calendar. It should naturally
be difficult, he explains, for up-
perclassmen to adjust themselves
to a new schedule. The Daily sur-

vey indicates that neither upper-
classmen nor faculty had as much
trouble with the abbreviated cal-
endar as was anticipated. But
freshmen are the most enthusias-
tic.
"I feel trimester is a fabulous
system,", Ellen C. Drake, '67A&D,
said approvingly. "It doesn't give
you less instruction, but rather a
more concentrated study. In this
way your studies don't drag
you have to keep them up or you
will be hopelessly lost. It's good
training." "I hadn't realized that
the semester's end was so near,

but now I can plan on early com-
pletion of studies," another fresh-'
man added.
"The current calendar has these
advantages-no work over Christ-
mas and out in the middle of May,
when spring fever is setting in,"
Kenneth F. Kapian, '67E, said.
"Okay, back early for the fall," he
conceded, "bat by then most peo-
ple are a little bored anyway."
The last respondent in hi s
four-day series was more succinct:
"Studyin over C. ristmas vaca-
tion?' he mused.
"Ugh U'

"The Law School has been fol-
lowing this policy for several years
with favorable results. Applying
it to the graduate school will help
us gain better control of enroll-
ment.
"Naturally, the Graduate School
Executive Board was reluctant to
establish this requirement-as was
everyone else. However, it is es-
sential to getting better control
of enrollment," Dean Sawyer said.
Not Radically Different
He pointed out that the limit set
on graduate enrollment for next
year will not represent a radical
change from present admission
policies.
"We have had controlled enroll-
ment here for a good many years,"
he said, "and the average increase
in graduate enrollment rover the
last seven years was 4.33 per cent
which compares favorably to the
four per cent limit set this year.
"The four per cent increase
actually surpasses last year's in-
crease."
Thus far, the graduate school
has not had to set numerical lim-
its on students admitted to the
departments, which recommend to
the school which students should
be accepted.
"We have simply told the de-
partments that they must keep
the four per cent increase in mind
and admit only the top students,"
Dean Sawyer explained.
Student Ratio
He also related that next year's
enrollment change will not devi-
ate much from the University's
general policy of keeping the grad-
uate to undergraduate student
ratio around 40:60.
The graduate student category
includes all students enrolled in
the Rackham School of Graduate
Studies and University graduate
professional schools.
This year's ratio is 38.9 to 61.1
(graduates to undergraduates).
Only Temporary?
"The members of the Executive
Board would like to see this ratio
remain at least as large as it is
at present," the dean said. "We
think the graduate school will
continue to grow and hope that
the present limitation on growth
will be temporary.
"We are now receiving applica-
tions at the rate of 200 per day
and, as of Feb. 3, had approxi-
mately 3400 applications for next
year. This represents a 21 per
cent increase in the number of
applications received by that time
last year."

By JOHN BRYANT
The fraternity system at the
University will remain fairly stable
in the face of possible changes in
its surrounding environment.
This is the basic conclusion
reached by John Feldkamp, assist-
ant to the director of student or-
ganizations and counselor to fra-
ternities.
The biggest barrier to the
growth of the system is housing,
accrodin gto Feldkamp. "It will be
very difficult for a new group to
establish itself on this campus
without a house.
"Because of the almost prohibi-
tive expense of obtaining a build-
ing, I don't think any new fra-
ternities will be able to establish
themselves on campus in the near
future."
House Size
Another possible means of ex-
pansion, that of increasing the
size of the individual houses has
only limited potential, according
to Feldkamp.
'The system ought to have at
least two-thirds of its men living
in the houses. Also, a house can-
not possibly grow beyond a physi-
cal capacity of 50 mes without
turning into a small dormitory.
"Thus with a limited number of
units and a limited number of men
in each unit, I do not see how the
system can grow appreciably be-
yond its present 'capacity' figure
of 2500 men."
No Decline
Feldkamp, on the other hand
does not foresee a decline in the
fraternity system.
The problem of competition
with apartments is not a serious
one he feels. "With senior women
now moving into apartments in
greater numbers, competition for
decent apartments is becoming
more intense.
"Thus, the fraternities will have
an advantage as far as their
physical plant is concerned in ad-
dition to other advantages such as
prepared meals and group living."
Two Year Houses
As far as administrative deci-
sions of the University are con-
cerned, Feldkamp feels the only
one which could seriously hurt
fraternities is a decision to elim-

the freshman and sophomore
as has been proposed in
quarters outside the Uni-
y.
would be extremely difficult

to run an undergraduate frater-
nity system if men were only on
cainpus for two years.'
Raising the entrance require-
ments of the University might
change the character of the fra-
ternities, he notes. "However, I
doubt that it would lead to a de-
cline in the system.
Adapting To Change
"If an institution cannot adapt
to changes, it will not, survive.
Fraternities, both on this campus
and nationally, have shown them-
seives to be adaptable."
Feldkamp also does not think
the implementation of the pro-
posed residence college would hurt
the system either. "The type of
men attracted by this college'
would not be the type that are
attracted by fraternities."
The rapid development of the
North Campus area also is a minor
problem, he feels. "As long as the
literary college and the under-
graduate engineering programs re-
main on the central campus, fra-
ternities will have few problems
as far as their location is con-
cerned," he notes.

instead of a trimester calendar?
(75)
Yes, 1 per cent; partly, 12 per
cent; no, 87 per cent.

its demands? (77)
Yes, 100 per cent; no, 0 per cent.
* * *
5) Are you satisfied with the

one-week, two-hour final exam
period? (84)

satisfied, 40 per cent; no prefer-
ence, 6 per cent; dissatisfied, 3 per
,ent; highly dissatisfied, 1 per cent.
* * *
6) Would you favor the estab-
lishment of a one-week "reading
period"-eliminating the last week
of classes to free students to re-
view for finals-before exam week?
(82)
Strongly favor it, 28 per cent;
somewhat favor it, 31 per cent; no
preference, 9 per cent; somewhat
opposed to it, 16 per cent; strongly
opposed to it, 16 per cent.
7) All in all, do you prefer the
current calendar or would you
rather the semester ended in Janu-
ary? (83)
Strongly prefer current calen-
dar, 84 per cent; prefer current
claendar, 15 per cent; no prefer-
ence, 1 per cent; prefer ending
in January, 0 per cent; strongly
prefer ending in January, 0 per
cent,
One hundred twenty-five ques-
tionnaires were mailed to random-
ly-selected freshmen during the
second wveek of school. Five were
returned unopened and 88 were an-
swered, for a 73 per cent re-
sponse. Four of the 88 respondents,
however, turned out not to be
freshmen and their answers were
omitted from the tabulations.
