(EDITOR'S NOTE: These are the
eleventh and twelfth parts in a
series of 16 articles covering the
Conference on the University ses-
sions which took place Friday and
Saturday.)
'U' Image
By ROBERT HIPPLER
The Conference session on "Im-
age. of the University" recom-
mended that the University be re-
alistic in its future efforts to pro-
ject its image to the public.
Particular emphasis on future
enrollment, faculty, and financial
prospects will elicit interest from
the public.
The University should display
its role and prospects as it sees
them, and not necessarily as it
thinks the public would like to
see them, the panelists agreed.
"U" Role
In trying to determine this role,
criticism was leveled at the faculty
for being more interested in its
own self-perpetuation, the train-
ing of future faculty, than in
training the majority of students
to think and to face the outside
world.
Research image promoters, on
the other hand, came under fire
from the conferees for trying to
envision the University exclusively.
as a tool of industry, tending to

nisia, announced.

neglect the needs of students and
faculty.
Conferees also criticized the ad-
ministration for thinking of money
too much in terms of general use
and not enough in terms of specific
allocation.
Mesh Together
The panel stated that these sev-
eral interests should not conflict,
but should mesh together to allow
the University to function in a
triple role as:
1) an institution to educate stu-
dents and prepare them for the
outside world;
2) an instrument to perpetuate
itself through more and better fac-
ulty training and replacement;
and
3) a focal point of research in
both basic and applied fields.
Working on this premise, the
panel questioned how the Univer-
sity should project its triple func-
tion to the public.
"Alexander Michigander," the
public information pamphlet the
University distributes is one
means, the panel said. But it pro-
motes an overly optimistic view of
the University's accomplishments.
Ethics
It presents the University as a
seemingly omnipotent power, and
it does not give strong enough em-
phasis to future problems, the
group stressed.
Several conferees questioned the
premise that the University should
in fact expose itself fully and real-
istically to the public. They pro-
posed that the University concen-
trate on showing the public mainly
that which is useful in either
stating the University's purposes
or obtaining sufficient educational
funds.
This idea was criticized as hav-
ing one main fault. Such an idea,
taking "Alexander Michigander"
as a prime example, might have
short-range success, but it would
fail eventually by not informing
and arousing the public of future
problems facing the University.
Student Activities
By JOHN BRYANT
Student activities do have an
educational value.
However, there is a basic con-
flict between these activities and
academic pursuits the student ac-
tivities discussion section of the
Conference concluded.
In attempting to help ease this
problem, the group proposed that
faculty and student groups discuss
what further rewards might be of-
fered for student activities partici-
pation.
Reflects Changes
Prof. Marvin Felheim of the
English department saw the prob-
lem as one related to the basic
changes going on in the Univer-

PROF. MARVIN FELHEIM
sity. "We're getting more students
without corresponding resources.
At the same time there is a ques-
tion as to the value of student ac-
tivities. These activities ought to
be incorporated into the educa-
tional system in some more con-
crete way," he said. -
Prof. Marc Pilisuk of the psy-
chology department proposed that
academic credit be given for cer-
tain activities.
"Students are receiving as much
benefit from some outside activi-
ties as they are from classes;
therefore why not give them
course credit for these activities,"
he asked.
Prof. Felheim suggested that
payment of salaries to those in-
volved in student activities might
remove some of the barriers to
student participation.
"Some student leaders, such as
The Daily senior editors and Mich-
igan Union senior officers receive
monetary compensation for their
services which enables them to pay
for meals they miss and other ad-
ditional expenses they incur."
There is no reason why others
in student activities should not
receive similar treatment, he add-
ed .
Opposition
Thomas Palmer, '64L, however,
said that participation in student
activities ought to be enough in-
centive in itself to attract students.
Ronald Martinez, '66, also op-
posed the compensatory plans,
asking where the line would be
drawn as to which activities would
merit credit or salary.
He, questioned whether a student
leader would receive credit or sal-
ary even if he "had been incompe-
tent in his position." The propos-
als are too complex and many-
sided to be workable, he said.
"Academic" Housing
The group felt that present
"academic" housing projects had
been valuable and considered
what might be done to improve the
academic conditions in other hous-
ing units.
Mrs. Elizabeth Davenport, as-
sistant to the vice-president for
student affairs, felt one problemn
lay in obtaining staff for "academt-
ic" housing.
"We searched an entire summer
to find the right people for six
staff positions in the honors
houses.
"To find similar people for the
entire residence hall system would
be extremely difficult, if not im-
possible," she added.
