Transfer Standards
Report Indicates Lower Quality
In Relation to Entering Freshmen
By DENISE WACKER and NEIL COSSMAN
The literary college faculty has approved a proposal calling for a
general tightening up of admissions standards for transfer students
applying to the college.
The plan, contained in a report issued early last month by the
college's Committee on Admissions, represented a two-year study of
the quality of transfer students and incoming freshmen.
"The general trend in measured ability of our freshmen . .. has
been upward, and there has been some indication that the quality.

(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the sev-
enth in a series of nine articles
tracing the history of Michigan's
state-supported colleges.)
By PATRICIA O'CONNOR
Northern Michigan College at
Marquette views itself as a multi-
purpose school preparing students
for careers in teaching, business,
science, social service, art, music,
the professions, and the liberal
arts.
As the regional college of the
Upper Peninsula, NMC is guided
by the concept that higher edu-
cation should be made available
to all who have the ability to bene-
fit from it and the desire to ob-
tain it.
NMC stands as one of the fast-
est growing colleges in the nation
with the campus area and student
population more . than doubling
since 1956. An estimated enroll-
ment of 2,750 students for the
coming year has prompted a re-
quest for an operating budget of
$2.5 million.
Course Introduced
The Legislature - originally es-
tablished NMC as a, "normal
school" in 1899. A four year col
lege course was introduced in 1918,
with the first bachelor of arts de-
gree awarded in 1920. The curri-
culum leading to a bachelor of
science degree was inaugurated in
1926. NMC now provides educa-
tional opportunity for pre-college,
undergraduate and graduate stTu-
dents.
Its own graduate program lead-
ing to a master of arts degree was
established by the school in 196C.
The degree may be obtained in
Various phases of education in-
cluding administration and super-
vision and in various teaching
areas as well as in certain subject
matter departments and in inte-
grated subject matter teaching
areas.
Off-campus 'services were ex-
panded and new field courses add
through the public services divi-
sion established in 1956. A year
later the college took over prac-
tical nurse training in the Upper
Peninsula.
dnap fC mus
ace," the report stated. Four poli-
cies concerning the admission of
transfer students are outlined in
the report.
SAT Scores
1) Transfer students must sub-
mit scores on the Scholastic Apti-
tude Test of the College Entrance
Examination Board, at a time to
be determined by the Committee
on Admissions. Transfer students
from Michigan junior-community
colleges would take these tests
after admission to the college.
2) Applicant- for admission with
junior standing will be strongly
preferred over those with less ad-
vanced standing.
3) Before entering the College,
transfer students will be required
to complete distribution course
work about equal to that complet-
ed by regular literary college stu-
den:s at the same level of progress
toward the degree.
Preferred Applicants
4) Among applicants from Mich-
igan junior colleges, preference
will be given those who have the
Associate in Arts or Associate in
Science degree or the recommen-
dations of their deans.
Eighteen months of discussion
between the Committee on Admis-
sions and representatives of Michi-
gan junior-community colleges
preceded the release of the fin-
ished report, Associate Dean'of the
literary college, James H. Robert-
son said. The finished report has
the official sanction of all public
junior-community colleges in
Michigan, he noted.
The general impact of the new
policies will not be to force the'
junior colleges to add or change
programs, Robertson commented.
Better Selection
The result will be better selec-
tion of transfers better prepareda
to tackle work at the junior level.
They should not have to reach
back and do freshman work, he
added.-
Robertson said that the tighter
admissions policy should have no
effect on the proportion of trans-
fer students admitted each year.
At present, 25 per cent of the col-
lege's new students are transfers.
Overcrowded classes at the
freshman and sophomore levels
are responsible for the decision to]
favor admitting transfer students
with junior standing, the report
stated.t
Vetoes Plan
To Prevent
New Taxes
By THOMAS HUNTER
Gov. John B. Swainson yester-
day vetoed a measure that would
block cities from imposing an in-
come tax on non-residents.
The Bowman bill, authored by
Rep. John T. Bowman (D-Rose-
ville) and passed substantially by
the Legislature, is a reaction to
Detroit Mayor Jerome Cavanagh's
one per cent income tax plan re-
cently approved by the Common
Council for that city.
Swainson called the veto a
"tough decision" which would
"alienate great blocs of voters."
But he said, "This is not a
political question and those who
use the plight of our urban cen-
ters and their suburbs as a politi-
cal wedge do a great injustice to
both."
Swainson felt that local income
taxes are a poor substitute for
state fiscal reform but recent legis-
lative rejection of a state income
tax has forced large cities to seek
other sources of revenue.
Expected attempt at overriding
the veto has been doomed to fail-
ure by legislative leaders. House
Democratic floor leader Joseph J.
Kowalski said it "hasn't a chance
at all."
Mayor George Kuhn of Berkley
who heads a vigilance tax commit-
tee and who called the veto a
"deterrent to statewide fiscal re-
form," said his group "has a good
chance" in obtaining a court rul-
ing declaring the tax unfair and
unconstitutional. Proceedings will
start this wek
Bowman, spokesman for the su-
burbanite opposition in the Legis-
lature said, "As far as we are
concerned, the fight has just be-
gun."'
Kuhn saw a reaction among ci-
ties, some passing income taxes of
their own as a retaliatory measure.
He said that Hamtramck will con-
sider passing one tonight, and
that centers like Dearborn, Warren
and Pontiac may follow suit.
Cavanagh, meanwhile, praised
the governor for his "courageous
stand invictory" and pointed to
440 other cities in the country
that have income taxes on non-
residents.
As a self-governing society, "the
fact that other states allow such
taxation," Bowman said, "is not
criterion for us to go by.,'
Sen. Stanley Thayerb(R-Ann.
Arbor) said the Detroit tax affect-
ed many area residents and that
he was very much opposed to it.

'Crimson' Editorial Series
Disturbs Harvard Officials.
By HELENE SCHIFF
Harvard officials were concerned last week over the effect of a
series of six editorials appearing in the Harvard Crimson, the daily
newspaper, criticizing the University administration but they made no
attempt to stop the editors from printing them.
The main purpose of the editorials was to call for Dr. Nathan M.
Pusey, Harvard's president, to appoint a dean of faculty to replace Mc-
George Bundy, who resigned to become Special Assistant to President
John F. Kennedy for National Security affairs. Dr. Pusey has assumed

Minister Sees
Fiscal Crisis
In Argentina
BUENOS AIRES (PA)-Economics
Minister Alvaro Carlos Alsogaray
warned Argentines last night they
face the most serious economic and
financial crisis in the country's
history.
In a radio-TV speech, the first
since he took office under Presi-
dent Jose Maria Guido, Alsogaray
said Argentina was in very diffi-
cult financial and economic straits
and now has "the last and only
chance" left to save the situation.
Alsogaray, who had served in
the same post before President Ar-
turo Frondizi was ousted by the
military in the aftermath of Per-
onist elections victories in March,
blasted Frondizi's government. He
'accused it of playing politics with
the country's economy and hiding
the truth from the people.
Alsogaray said "the crisis which
the country is facing now is the
gravest economic crisis it has suf-
fered in recent decades. The coun-
try has lost the major part of its
monetary reserves.
"The Alliance for Progress and
other sources of aid are all right,"
he said, "but they are not the key
solution to the problems afflicting
the country. The key solution is to+
inspire confidence abroad, so that1

-to be spontaneously invested "
the additional duties as dean of
faculty during the last academic
year. He has said that he would
choose a dean in due time.
Reluctance
The opening editorial asserted
that Dr. Pusey's "reluctance to
make up his mind on matters
which urgently need direction not
only leaves the problems them-
selves unsettled but the concerned
faculty foundering, fragmented
and confused."
The editors went on to discuss
what they considered to be the
main points of concern for the ad-
ministration. This list included the
general education program, the-re-
lation of Harvard to Radcliffe, the
sophomore standing program, fed-
eral aid to education, and the
maintaining and building up of
a higher caliber of faculty.
They also stated that while the
appointment of a new dean prob-
ably would not solve the problems,
it would be an important step "be-
cause it would signify awareness
of the immediate problems that
must be met."
'Rotten Method'
Dean John P. Elder of the Grad-
uate School of Arts and Sciences
was quoted in the New York Times
as saying that "some faculty mem-
bers have used the juniors to ex-
press their views even if they did
not actually write the editorials."
Calling this a "rotten method," he
indicated that if the faculty thinks
these things they should say them
themselves.
There was absolutely no influ-
ence exerted on any staff writers
by any member of the faculty,
Frederic L. Ballard, Jr., president
of the Harvard Crimson, said last
night.

By EDWARD HERSTEIN
Groups working toward peace must concentrate on getting the sup-

Symposium on the Arms Race last night.
Prof. Etzioni, a Columbia University sociologist and member of
the Institute for War and Peace Study, spoke on the topic "The Grad-
ualist Approach to Peace."
Prof. Etzioni explained that neither going from person to person
nor directly communicating with the government is a satisfactory way
of getting the government to act. Only a large "voter package," an
organization with a large member-
ship and a lobby in Washington, M
offers an effective means of pres-

He explained that the Council,

ELI Student Descri bes
By KENNETH WINTER
"Never before has a generation of Angolans suffered so much.
Never before have they felt a need for moral and material support as
they do now."
Speaking with quiet intensity, Jacinto Fortunato, a student in
the University's English Language Institute, described the situation in
Angola, a Portuguese colony on the east coast of Africa.
The Portuguese think of Angolans as nothing more than beasts,"
Fortunato, a future divinity student and one of the leaders of the
Angolan independence movement, said.
He estimated that 150,000 Angolans fighting for independence
had been killed by the Portuguese in the last six months.
The Portuguese completely regiment the four million Negroes of
Angola, Fortunato said. They are prevented from meeting together.
from circulating any propaganda, or -even from owning radios. Even
the mention of independence is a crime, he added.
E
