' Policy-a kers Assess Off-Campus Eucato (First of a Three-Part Series) By LAURENCE KIRSHBAUM The policies guiding the education of 12,000 'off-campus students are currently being assessed by a battery of top-level University policy makers. Although working independently and informally right now, sev- eral Regents, a faculty committee and the Office of Academic Affairs are all involved in setting the new focus for the 53-year-old University Extension Service. The Extension Service is authorized by the Regents to provide "educational advantages" for residents of the state who are not in a position to pursue University programs in residence. Standard Courses The bulwark of this extension program has always been the extra- mural credit course program whereby undergraduates and graduatey may receive standard courses in liberal education, arts, business ad- ministration and engineering taught by University or adjunct staff members. Traditionally, the orientation of the extramural program has been an expansive statewide operation reaching into the tips of the North- ern peninsula. That's what the current re-focusing procedure is all about- to weigh the expansive programs against the more economically and educationally feasible plan of concentrating courses in the population- cramped zone of Southeast Michigan. But the Extension Service's trend of expansion has a long his- tory-one which politically attuned administrators are not so willing to abandon blithely. Largest, Most Diverse Its first half century featured the offering of the "largest and most diverse" quantity of academic courses throughout the state, according to Extension Director Everett Soop. Historically, this meant that more than 40 per cent of the total courses given by the University faculty and adjunct staff were offered away from a higher education campus. But as current preliminary studies-taken by the Extension Serv- ice itself-have indicated, the next 50 years presents the need for a somewhat new focus. Other state schools are entering the course offering market in unprecedented splurges. In the past five years alone, Michigan State University has ex- panded its number of offered courses by almost 30 per cent (or 109 courses) and Northern Michigan University has practically doubled its "extramural course programs," as the off-campus credit courses are officially titled. In the same five year time interval, the University has cut back its extramural program six per cent, thus emphasizing what admin- istrators have characterized as the new state-wide extension picture- that there are not now just a couple, but nine state-supported uni- versities actively engaged in the extramural field. The University can only be expected to decline quantitatively, officials say. The more qualitative centralizing approach is called for, they ad Soop sums up this situation by noting that the educational re ities of the statewide picture must replace the institutional prejud that "we can do it best all over Michigan." Series of 'Revisions This attitude may be reflected in a broad series of revisions wh Vice-President for Academic Affairs Roger W. Heyns is expected bring before the Regents within a few months. Although officials note that the revisions to extension serv are only in the consideration stage they explain that new focus centralizatiop-can be the only ultimate decision. The new role of centralization that extension service people fo see is actually only an official continuation of the current policy whi is geared to orient course offerings in the Southeast Michigan regi bounded by Ann Arbor, Dearborn, Detroit, Flint and Southern Oa land and Macomb Counties.

Harvey of the Law School, who recently returned to Ann Arbor after being expelled from Ghana University, said he was given no detailed explanation by the Ghanian government for his deportation.. "The only thing I heard concerning the matter was that Presi- dent Kwame Nkrumah had mistakenly thought I advocated the divorce of law from social values," Harvey said in a press conference here yesterday.

Sholle Suit A federal court in Detroit Mon- day upheld the controversial 80-20 apportionment formula in Mich- igan's new constitution and dis- missed a suit by Michigan AFL- CIO President August Scholle challenging the formula. The special three-judge panel, in a 2-1 decision, reasoned that the voters approved the apportion- ment formula when they approved the new constitution last April. An attorney for Scholle however said an appeal would be taken to the United States Supreme Court. Scholle called the decision "legal antics and semantics." Capricious Formula Scholle had contended that any system for drawing legislative lines' under the new constitution's formula would be "irrational, arbi- trary and capricious" and "invid- iously and purposefully discrim- inatory" against urban voters. Gov. George Romney claimed that "the decision of the court confirms both the decision of the Constitutional Convention and the judgment of the people of Mich- igan in approving our new con- stitution." State Attorney General Frank J. Kelley had joined Scholle as an intervening plaintiff in the case' but at the same time appointed a team of attorneys to defend the apportionment system. Judiciary Tyranny In the majority opinion Judge Fred W. Kaess wrote that it would be a "tyranny by the judiciary" for the court "in the name of ma- jority rule" to throw out provisions of a constitution approved only a year ago by a majority of Mich- igan voters."] The dissenter, Judge Stephen J. Roth, contended that the con- stitution failed to meet either fed- eral or state standards for equal1 protection as provided in the 14thj Amendment of the United States Constitution. He held that unless the Legis- lature reapportions itself of the basis of equal population, mem- bers of both the House and Sen- ate should be elected at large. Constitution Constitutionality Roth also questioned whether the Constitutional' Convention that wrote the document was not called in violation of the 14th Amendment b e c a u s e delegates were chosen from old House and Senate districts. The Michigan Supreme Court currently is wrestling with the problem of choosing between Re- publican and Democratic plans for .tion," he remarked. 'Subversive Actions' Harvey, who had been dean of the Ghana University's law school since September of 1962, is one of four American professors who were ordered out of Ghana on grounds of "subversive activities." Harvey said he believed Nkru- mah made the final decision. Har- vey added that he was denied the details of the charges by govern- ment offiicals, including Nkru- mah. "I went to Ghana strictly as an educator and tried to'limit my role strictly to education," he commented. Enough Evidence? "Government officials told me that they had enough evidence to take the charges to court. They had no answer when one of us asked them why they didn't file the charges," Harvey noted. He denied that he had any con- nection with the United States State Department. "I have no idea as to whether I will be contacted by State De- partment officials.dMy knowledge of Ghana is anything but secret. The State Department probably knows more about the situation than I do." Harvey returned to Ann Arbor March 12 from London where he was recovering from an attack of hepatitis and malarial fever. Harvey expressed hope that the work of American educators may continue in Ghana. "I urged my colleagues on the faculty to re- main and continue their work." There are still four Americans on the Ghana law school faculty. See HAIWEY, Page 2 FPA Debates. Image Push The Fraternity Presidents' As- sembly last night discussed pro- posed committee action to raise the academic image of campus fraternities. Compiling more academic statis- tics, obtaining academic advisors for fraternities and increasing publicity for fraternity scholar- ship programs were among the ideas mentioned. It was suggested that a procedure for formal con- demnation of fraternities with consistently poor academic rec- ords be devised. -Daily-Robert Sheffield PRY 'M'-Two University students attempted in vain to pry loose the famous landmark that adorned the Diag until Sunday.

Hil- berry deplored yesterday the loss of four professors to Florida At- lantic University which will be opened at Boca Raton next Sep- tember. "Loss of key faculty members," Hilberry said, "has been a most serious problem for the last four years because of the university's inability to provide competitive salaries. No Relief "We have repeatedly emphasiz- ed our needs to the State Legisla- ture, and unless funds are provid- ed we shall continue to experience this kind of situation, where new and more prosperous institutions attract our best people." Those reported by Hilberry to be going to the Florida univer- sity - an upper division school with junior, senior and graduate students-are: Francis C. Rose-. crance, dean of education and Palmer C. Pilcher, assistant dean of the graduate division. More Also, John W. Sullivan, profes- sor of business administration, and Don Clare, professor of political science, will be leaving for Boca Raton.- Wayne, as do most other Michi- gan universities, refused to disclose pay of faculty members. en passers by first noticed the at- riano, '65, and Joseph Toussaint, d'66A&D-they promptly reported the matter to Sanford Security, Service. Inform Police University Security Officer Al- bert E. Heusel'said that his office informed the Ann Arbor police as soon as it learned of the matter. The two vandals were surprised by police as theyhcontinued in their attempts. They attempted to escape by running south from the Diag, but were apprehended by officers as they crossed S. Uni- versity St., police reported. Ann Arbor Detective-Lieutenant Gregory Kadapodos reported that the two were drunk when arrested. No Statement The alleged vandals have re- leased no official statement as yet, but have admitted their guilt to police and University authori- ties. The Office of Student Affairs is expected to release a statement tomorrow concerning the Univer- sity's course of action. Police officials released the two offenders early Sunday, morning as no specific charges had been placed against them. They are now free pending a conference this afternoon with the parties involved. The two are also accused of having stolen a crowbar the same night, later using it in their at- tempt to pry loose the "M" The wrecking company from which the bar was stolen, however, has not indicated whether or not it in- tends to press charges against the two. When asked why they commit- ted the crime, the students in- voived told The Daily that they were drunk and that they had done it as a joke. By JOHN WEILER Student Government Council tonight will hash over ,a large number of motions proposed in the recent election campaign. Barry Bluestone, '65, has sub- mitted a proposal to recommend to the Office of Student Affairs a revision of the present regulations for women's hours. Specifically the motion calls for totally eliminating hours for jun- ior women as well as allowing both sophomore and junior women. apartment privileges. Voting Penalties Bluestone also is co-sponsoring a motion with Carl Cohen, '66, which asks for establishing penal- ties for SGC election irregularities. It asks that both individuals and student organizations be levied fines if they have been adjudged guilty by Joint Judiciary Council of submitting any fradulent bal- lots in the elections. Cohen had also proposed setting up a constituent assembly in order to "increase interest in SGC" and to provide better communication between SGC and the students. Draft Card? Bluestone is proposing a motion to require other identification than the student 'I-D' in the SGC elec- tions. In addition, Bluestone is asking that the Continental Co-operative Bookstore receive $750.00 from SGC to help students who are setting up the new bookstore. Don Filip, '65, will present a mo- tion that asks for the restructuring of SOC's committee system. It calls for a shifting of the legisla- tive committees from under the administrative vice-president to the executive vice-president. Another Change Eugene Won, '66, is proposing a motion to implement the election Thurmond Seets Speech Record WASHINGTON UP)-Sen. Strom Thurmond (D-SC) set a long-talk record in the Senate's current civil rights debate yesterday amid signs that the first vote will be delayed until next week. It had been expected this week. Thurmond, the 12th of 19 Southern senators planning to speak at length against the leg- islation, surpassed the 1964 record of just under four hours set last week by Sen. Russell B. Long (D- La) and went right on talking. As usual only three or four senators could be seen as Thur- mond hammered away at the mo- tion that has been pending in eight days of debate-whether to take up the controversial House- passed civil rights measure. Thurmond contended "they are railroading through this bill" and declared it would destroy both individual and civil liberties. He said the legislation would encourage "more civil disobedi- ence"-racial demonstrations, pro- tests, marches and sit-ins. A nrediction that the first vnte. (Last of a Three-Part Series) By ROBERT JOHNSTON Prof. Philip S. Jones of the math department explains the present day activity in mathematics research by saying that "math is definitely a growing and developing field, even thoughh the nonmathematician usually doesn't realize it.," eHe points out that an understanding of math's rapid; growth and development is essential to an understanding of the place of math in the overall research scheme. Centuries LaterM Prof. Paul R., Halmos sums it up by saying that research eventually does turn up in practical applications, though this . often may be several centuries later. "Or a specific branch of N math may be developed in answer to several problems in anotherr field. Still, Prof. Albert E. Heins. whose research is in working$ with direct connections between mathematical developments; and physics, readily explains that the matematical questions { he works with are very much of interest to him "in their own, right." And Prof. Donald J. Lewis describes his work in number theory as a "pure branch of math, working with intriguingo questions with no forseeable applications. Lots of mathematics started this way, but men have been working with numbera theory for 2000 years and it hasn't been used yet." Well-Ordered Solution Prof. Lewis declares that his motivation lies strictly in the satisfaction gained in solving difficult problems. "Whether or :f not the work is useful, the same degree of happiness comes from a well-ordered solution to a difficult problem.". While all the professors in the mathematics department are, very much interested in their research work, this is not to say that teaching is a neglected part of the art. Prof. George E. Hay, mathematics department chairman, asserts; "The department is dedicated to teaching at all levels," but notes also some extra emphasis at the graduate level. "For the graduate especially, education and research are interwoven." Most of the department's professors teach both an undergraduate and a graduate course. Teaching |esearch Prof. Hay adds that the department is also doing research in the teaching of math and the development of course mate- rials at all levels. One group is working specifically on under- graduate teaching problems. The intimate connection between research and teaching is reaffirmed by Prof. Halmos. "No one can teach a subject if he knows that subject and nothing else. One doesn't have to be a great research man in a particular field to teach, but he must be a master of it and be in contact with other human . endeavor," he says. A tenuous research-education connection at the elementary level is admitted by Prof. Halmos because of the unchanging character of the basic subject matter which must be mastered' first. "But at the advanced level they have everything to do with each other," he explains. The nature of math teaching also depends on its object, he asserts. "We can aim to create educated people or to create specialists." Complementary Prof. Heins also affirms the complementary aspect of research and teaching. He teaches the "rudimentary" aspects of his work with applied mathematics and physics to graduate students. "Some teaching is good for me; it helps me avoid frustration. The two areas cannot be separated." 'nhvino n eents a oha11hnaa t Prnf T.wis. T-T esee it procedures.

Math and Research: An Integral Pair, (committee To Evaluate Action by Fail New Senior College May Bid for Funds, Considers 'U' Backing By ROBERT HIPPLER The issue of University expan- sion at Delta Junior College in the Saginaw Bay City area is far from settled. State legislators, University of-. ficials and leaders of the pro- posed private Saginaw Valley sen- ior college-adjacet to ;Delta- have tacitly decided to wait until early next fall before even dis- cussing officially the prospects of University expansion into the area. That will be after Gov. George Romney's Citizens' Committee on Higher Education has submitted its long-range report on higher education in Michigan. Await Recommendation The legislators and officials ex- pect the committee will make a general recommendation concern- ing the value and advisability of major state universities branching out. If the "blue ribbon" report en- dorses the branch principle, then "serious talks with the University and Delta area citizens may be- gin," one official said. Samuel Marble, who resigned a week ago as president of the Delta Junior College to become presi- dent of the Saginaw Valley Sen- for College, explains that he did SQ to help get "what is sorely need- ed for this area-a four-year de- gree-granting institution." Did Not Specify He did not say when he would try to meet with University offi- cials but noted that "a good ma- jority of residents" in the thumb (Midland-Saginaw-Bay counties) area favor the establishment of a University branch there. University officials have express- ed renewed interest in establish- ing a branch in the tri-county area, but do not want to enter in- to this controversial issue around appropriations time.": The University was unsuccess- ful last year in receiving Legis- lature endorsement for the open- ing of a two-year, branch. The question was then shipped to the "blue ribbon" group at the request of Gov. Romney. Marble indicated that if the "blue ribbon report is 'encourag- ing,' we will try to chart plans with the University for a four- year school." Such an arrangement, though legally difficult to work out, wuld make the college eligible for state funds under Regental control. If the committee does not show favor toward University participa- tion, the Saginaw College prob- ably will still plan for expansion. But it would then apply to the state for direct funds, instead of asking for funds chaneled to it as a University extension, he said. State legislators concurred with Marble in waitine- for ond frnm GARGOYLE: Humor Mag.
