Education, Politics
)unbar Tells
If University
slected Boards
By ROBERT SELWA
Michigan is unique among states
its system of higher education,
of. Willis F. Dunbar, head of
e history department at West-
n Michigan University, said yes-
rday.
"Michigan stands almost alone
choosing by popular election so
any of its governing boards of
ucation institutions. And it is
ique in other ways too," he
Id the Michigan Academy of
;ience, Arts and Letters.
Prof. Dunbar pointed out that
recent survey of 209 state boards
owed that 70 per cent of their
embers are appointed, 18 per
nt elected, and 12 per cent ex-
ficio. Of the 18 per cent elect-
, almost one-half are chosen
the state legislature, not the
ople.
Regents Elected
(The Regents, the trustees of
ichigan State University and
e governors of Wayne State Uni-
rsity are elected at large.)
Prof. Dunbar said Michigan is
stinctive in several other aspects
its constitutional provisions for
gher education:
The state provides in its con-
tution for more than one ma-
r state university. Only three
her states do so.
The presidents are chosen by
e' governing boards of the uni-
rsities and preside over these
ards.
No other state constitution spe-
ically makes the president of a
iversity chosen by a governing
ard the presiding officer of that
yard.
"A city manager does not pre-
le at meetings of a city' coun-
1The manager of an industry
es not preside at meetings of
> board of directors," Prof. Dun-
r pointed out.
Less Than Four
Not more than four other state
astitutions give governing boards

the extensive powers of control
and supervision that Michigan's
does.
Only 21 state constitutions pro-
vide for a state university, for an
agricultural college and 12 for
teachers' colleges, Michigan's con-
stitution provides for all of these.
Prof. Dunbar suggested that
Michigan's unique higher educa-
tion policies result from the suc-
cess of the University following
the state's 1850 constitution.
He noted that the University
had been suffering from various
troubles including fiscal misad-
ventures, too much legislative and
political interference, a bitter con-
troversy over the recognition of
fraternities and a decline in en-
rollment.
Conventional Solution
Prof. Dunbar said the solution
arrived at by the convention of
1850; was to make the Board of
Regents elective, to constitute it a
body corporate, to give it super-
vision of the University and con-
trol of its expenditures and to re-
quire it to elect a president with
strong powers.

THE CAPTAIN'S
PARADISE
ging The statement holds that "not
n to only is the 18-year-old directly af-
fected by government policies, but,
more important, he has interest
and knowledge concerning gov-
ernment affairs."
r Further rationale for the request
is that citizens 18 years old have
direct experience with government
decisions through military service,
judicial procedures, education,
taxes, and driving.
Better Prepared
High school courses in govern-
ment, the political process, history
and citizenship as well as the com-
munications media offer the 18-
year-old better preparation for
intelligent voting than previously
afforded citizens of any age
group.
These courses, coupled with po-
litical clubs and discussion groups,
"sparks the 18-year old's inter-
est in public affairs and in his
responsibilities as a, citizen," it
notes.
Although qualified, the 18 year
old is neither encouraged nor al-
lowed to vote. "The interest,
knowledge and understanding of
the 18-year-old should not degen-
erate into the apathy that re-
sults naturally from non-partici-
pation. It shoild be the beginning
of active, continuing participation
in public affairs," the statement
concludes.
Regents' Rules
Students are subject to rules
made by the Regents, an elected
board, Kenneth Miller, '64, chair-
man of the Committee on Student
Concerns, said.
If students could have a vote,
they could participate more direct-
ly in the election of rule-making
people who affect them.
The Council has urged' other
student governments in Michigan
to take similar action by sending{
letters on the issue to delegates to
the Constitutional Convention and
the Legislature.
Bacon Gives
Automation
Information
By JAMES NICHOLS
A complex framework to analyze
the effect of technological devel-,
opments on Michigan firms and
eventually to aid manufacturers
in adopting a profitable strategy
was outlined yesterday before the1
economic section of the Michigan]
Academy of Science, Arts and Let-
ters.
The 20-page paper concerned
the aims and methods of the In-,
dustrial Research Program of the1
Institute of Science and Technol-,
ogy. It was presented by Program,
Director Frank R. Bacon, Jr., and
Research Associate Frederick T.o
Sparrow.4
The program was established to1
"study means by which science
and technology might be more ef-
fectively utilized to promote the1
growth of Michigan industry."
Resources Necessary 1
Technological resources are nec-
essary to the development of new
industrial products, the paper
said. These resources require "bas-
ic and developmental research" by
such groups as universities and
research laboratories.e
"We are concerned with the
question of whether the orienta-
tion and size of (Michigan) re-
search is consistent with the fu-
ture needs of industry," the re-
searchers said. It is important to
fill any gaps in the present re-
search programs.
Two basic answers must be
found, they said: How Michigan
firms can choose the most benefi-
cial policies; and to what extent
these firms are able to "develop
and market new products inde-
pendently."r
Forty Alternatives
Industrial firms considering a
change in strategy have 40 pos-
sible combinations of alternatives,
which the paper lists. These in-
volve changes in three major cate-
gories: the uses and markets for a
product; the product itself, and in
the various processes of manufac-
turing and marketing
The possible alternatives in each
of these three classifications are
represented by numbers. For ex-
ample, development of a new use
for a product is alternative 1) in
the first category. To modify a
product the firm already makes
is 2) in the second.

(continued from Page 1)
close this gap by 1970, Taylor
said 90,000 new jobs would be
needed each year.
Norman Barcus, research direc-
tor of the Michigan Employment
Security Commission, said the
state will need an increase in jobs
just to maintain the present em-
ployment rate. This is true be-
cause of the increasing size of the
labor force, automation and gains
in productivity.
Woodrow Ginsberg, research di-
rector for the United Auto Work-
ers, said perhaps the cardinal
problem facing the state is
"whether the assets of physical
facilities and manpower that exist
will be utilized to provide a far
healthier economy and better
standard of living."
Prof. Paul W. McCracken of the
business administration school
said he would like to see major
national tax reforms, possibly in-
cluding a "lowering of the tax
structure."
He compared many reas of
Michigan taxation with those of
other states. 'and concluded that
the differentials are not very
large even though they are in the
wrong direction."

By MARK BLUCHER
Kenneth D. Feigenbaum and
Rolland H. Wright of Wayne State
University presented a sociology
paper on "Education, Ethnic Mem-
bership and Political Conformity"
to the 66th annual meeting of the
Michigan Academy of Science, Arts
and Letters yesterday.
The report dealt with a study
relating the amount of education
and the degree of alienation from
the political system. Thirteen hun-
dred random samplings were tak-
en in an area including a wide
range of respondants, who were
asked to agree or disagree with
eight statements presented to
them in groups.
The first group included such
ideas as "a few big pressure groups
pretty well run the country," and
"most political leaders represent
the big interests." The second
group contained the statement
that "generally the man chosen
for political office is the most
capable."
Positive Response
If the first group of statements
elicited a positive response it in-
dicated, personal frustration or
powerlessness with the political
system. The second group showed
the same result if the respondant
disagreed with the statement.
A question from the first group
stated that "the people have very
little influence over representa-
tives they elect to government."
Forty-nine per cent of the Demo-
crats without any high school ed-
ucation agreed with the statement
while only 42 per cent of those
with college degrees gave a sim-
ilar response. In the Republican
party, 50 per cent of those without
education beyond the eighth grade
agreed while only 25 per cent of
those who had attended college
concurred.
In every case, the original re-
sponse was reversed as the level
of education rose. This lead to the
assumption that there is a relation
between political definition and
education. With the increase in
education, people expressed more
faith in the political system and
in their ability to cope with it.
