Controversies.
(Continued from Page 1)
Prof. Coffey did give as one reason for not appointing Gordenker
"that all the men would soon be in the army and women would
have to run The Daily." Therefore, he was in favor of appointing
several women as senior editors.
The editors said in another editorial that Gordenker's petition
had stated that he was 4-F for the Army and thus, would remain at
the University until he graduated.
Ask Resignation
In a still later editorial the senior editors asked for the
resignation of Prof. G. E. Densmore from his post as chairman of
the Board on the grounds that he "did not possess the qualifications
required for the important position of chairman of the Board."
No resignations ever took place on the Board or The Daily.
Prof. Coffey said in his open letter that "supposed censorship was
non-existent."
The Daily reported in an editorial that the Board had warned
them not to print such things as "a column asking that the Univer-
sity not apcept any scholarship or grants which have racial or
religious qualifications and a number of editorials and columns
criticizing the part of big business in World War II."
Many Complaints
Another problem which arose at this time was the large number
of comnplaint on editorials and news stories which had been received
by the Board.
In an effort to aid relations in these cases Prof. Palmer Throop,
a member of the Board, wrote a letter which appeared in The Daily
suggesting that The Daily editors, rather than just the Board
chairman meet "irate members of the public" and that the other
Board members share the duties of umpire with the chairman.
This plan was acceptable to both the Board and The Daily staff.
Four years later in 1947, President Ruthven proposed to the
Board that 1) a "coach" be made responsible for The Daily, or
2) that the chairmanship of the Board be made a full-time job,
or 3) that The Daily be made a part of the Department of Journalism.
The proposals were rejected by the Board.
Ex Officio Member
However, the Board decided to make a vice-president of the
University an ex officio member without voting power. His purpose
would be to provide a link with the Regents, so that the latter
might have more understanding of The Daily's problems and methods
bf operation.
The editors opposed this action saying that "the appointment of
a University vice-president is a possible threat to The Daily as a
free student publication."
Following this, the editors petitioned the Board to recommend
to the Regents that the managing editor, editorial director and city
editor be made ex officio members of the Board without voting power.
The Board rejected this proposal, and the editors then submitted
the proposal directly to the Regents. No action was ever taken and
at present there are no editors as ex officio members on the Board.

Michifish To Feature
History of Music Theme
By BARBARA LAZARUS
"The Sounds of Music" will be
the theme of the annual Michifish
show tonight, Saturday night and
Sunday afternoon at the Women's
Pool,
The aquatic trip through the
history of music will begin with a
large clef sign formed by the
entire group.
Dressed in red and swimming
to the pounding of a primitive
drum; Lucia Kaminsky, '64, will
perform a synchronized dance in
the water.
The age of knights -and fair
maidens will present members of
the club dressed in green trouba-
dor costumes. Transferring to the
Far East, Lyn Grigg, '63Ed, and
Committee
To Review
Tavern Law
City Councilman Lynn W. Eley
said recently that his special com-
mittee on liquor control problems
will reconsider its recommenda-
tion that the council extend clos-
ing hours for local taverns.
The committee appointed by
the council is reconsidering its de-
cision at the request of Mayor
Cecil 0. Creal and Rev. Kendall
W Cawing, of the W ashtenaw
Council of Churches.
Creal opposes the measure. The
church group will meet next week
to consider its position.
Eley said that if the local Coun-
cil of Churches opposes extension
of hours, the fate of the issue will
"be up for grabs."
Students Tour
Dow Chemical
Thirty-nine international stu-
dents visited the Dow Chemical
Company plant in Midland, Mich.
from April 27-29. The trip was
sponsored by the United Church
Women of Midland, who worked
with the Ecumenical Campus Cen-
ter to arrange it.
Saturday morning the group
toured the Saran Wrap factory
and observed its processes. A
movie depicting the international
operations of Dow Chemical Co.
was shown. The rest of the week-
end was devoted to observing
American art, architecture and lo-
cal customs.
"The trip was really worthwhile.
Good understanding developed,"
Keith Cooper, '62E, representative
of the Ecumenical Campus Cen-
ter, said.

"COMPELLING . so absolute
and authentic that actuality
seems to pulsate on the screen."
Crowther-N. Y. Times
Mary Kazlusky, '65Ed, will swim
to "The March of the Siamese
Children."
Soldiers
Marching in precision drill at
the edge of the pool to "The
Washington Post March" and fin-
ishing in the water as double lines
of soldiers, they will complete
their drill performance with a
chain dolphin.
A quick transfer to the era of
bathtub gin and the romance of
the roaring twenties will bring
some swimming flappers in flash-
ing red and white costumes. They
will be accompanied by lively jazz
and dance music to provide the
appropriate background.
Triangle
Following a solo by club presi-
dent Pat Crawford, '63A&D, the
entire cast will complete the show
swimming all in white to the
"Sound of Music." They will form
a large triangle in the center of
the pool and finish by completely
reversing it with a carefully timed
series of back dolphins.
Michifish includes approximately
30 members ranging from fresh-
men to seniors. Members are ac-
cepted after a six week training
period. At the end of the period
they must adequately perform six
different types of sculling, stan-
dard strokes, ballet legs, back dol-
phins and underwater stunts.

each department of the univer-
sity college: American thought
and language, natural science, so-
cial science, and humanities. Phy-
sical education and military sci-
ence are required.
In the junior and senior years,
the student enrolls directly with
the college of his choice. The ma-
jor field of study may be chosen
from among more than 100 pro-
grams. An honors college with ac-
tive participation of all colleges,
schools, departments, and faculty
exists for superior students.
Graduate Level
MSU, along with other large
universities, faces the challenge
of an increasing number of gradu-
ate students. In 1955 about 12 per
cent of the students were at the
graduate level. Five years later
graduate students comprised 22
per cent of the total. The projec-
tion for 1970 shows 10,000 gradu-
ate students or 30 per cent of the
total.
Because graduate students re-
quire more advanced laboratory
and library materials as well as
more rigorous student-faculty re-
lationships, it costs more to edu-
cate them.
As well as greater proportions
of graduate students, total stu-
dent enrollment has increased 20
per cent in the last five years
while state appropriations have
increased barely 10 per cent.
Faculty Load
An addition of 1,400-1,500 stu-
dents each year without corres-
ponding increases in appropria-
tions results in greater faculty
loads and shortages of laboratory
and other scientific equipment,
while rendering the maintenance
of high quality education difficult.
MSU has been investigating new
ways to provide better educational
opportunities for increasing num-
bers of students with a proportion-
ately smaller faculty. Last spring
Hannah presented seven propo-
sals calling for "imaginative ex-
perimentation to improve the
quality of undergraduate educa-
tion."
These proposals include such
things as encouraging the student
to assume more responsibility for
his own learning, more compre-
hensive advising by the faculty in
the time thus available, redefining
of faculty members' responsibili-
ties and establishing a learning re-
sources center to encourage use
of closed-circuit television, films,
teaching machines, programmed
learning and other aids.

ic purposes and reallocating funds
to implement plans in these areas.
Through reallocation of funds, I
MSU hopes to improve the hold-
ings facilities of the library whichI
now has a rapidly growing col-
lection of over 770,000 volumes.I
Another goal comprises the estab-J
lishment of a Learning Resources
Center which would include facili-
ties to encourage greater uses of
closed-circuit television films, and
other materials and facilities not
yet envisaged.
The university runs eight men's
residence halls, ten women's halls,
one apartment residence for wo-
men, and one hall for graduate
students. For married students, the
university provides 1,940 furnished
brick apartments.
Intramural Program
At MSU, over 400 students com-
pete in 14 intercollegiate sports.
Last year 2,000 men participated
in the intramural football pro-
gram.
Student fees provide $7.7 million
at MSU with a tuition per term of
$93 for instate students and $250
for out-of-state students. An ad-
ditional $30 million is being re-
quested for operation.
A projected five year budget
makes provisions for thirty-three
items of major new construction.
A new chemistry building which
would take freshman classes out of
old World War II quonsets and
which would provide the research
laboratories needed by MSU grad-
uates receives top priority.
