Administrators To, Submit Tuition Hike Plans Cy Y Seventy-One Years of Editorial Freedom 74Iaitt To Minimize Costs For Instate Students Plans Contain Out-of-State Hike, Graduate School Student Fee Boost By MICHAEL OLINICK and RONALD WILTON University administrators this week are expected to present the Regents with proposals for raising tuition geared to minimize added expenses for instate students. The fee hike plans--which could net the University up to an aaditional $2.5 million for next year-would, as a maximum, boost undergraduate instate fees to around $300 and raise the out-of-state instruction cost to more than $900.t i VOL.

This word reached Washington following a Southeast Asia Treat: Organization meeting held i Bangkok as the United State troop buildup began in Thailand The United States has been prodding its allies to join in the United States action which presi dent John F. Kennedy took to bol ster the defenses of Thailand an increase pressure against a Com munist takeover in neighboring Laos. United States authorities said all the SEATO members - whic include Britain, France, Australia New Zealand, the Philippines and Pakistan plus the United States and Thailand - had responded favorably to Kennedy's action. They said Australia and New Zealand have indicated they toc will send some armed contingents to Thailand provided the prope request is received from that coun- try. The size and type of such forces was not disclosed, but presumably would be less than the 5,000 Unit- ed States combat troops and air support assigned to Thailand by Kennedy. The Philippines were reported still discussing the question of whether to offer troop aid, while the reL- onse of Pakistan was not yet known here. It was not expected likely that Britain and France would send forces. However, London did pub- licly express its backing of the United States action yesterday and France, United States officials said, has been helpful in the dip- lomatic push for a resumption of negotiations by rival Laotian fac- tions for a nationwide, neutral government. The first of 1,800 Marines to land at the Thai naval base of Sataheep, south of Bangkok, will be airlifted almost immediately to Thailand's sensitive northeast border with Communist-menaced Laos. Already Thailand has moved crack Thai units with United States military advisers to the bor- der. There they and the Marines may be joined before long by at least token units from othes SEA- TO members, whose officials are in consultation on the crisis in Laos' d The first of about 45 United States Air Force jet fighter-bomb- ers and attack planes streaked to a landing at Bangkok's airport Tuesday, only a few hours after President Kennedy and the Pen- tagon announced plans to build up a 5,000-man Southeast Asian com- bat command on Laos' border. Group Rejects Rezoning Plea The Anan Arbor City Council, following the recommendations of < By GAIL EVANS Student Government Council unanimously passed a substitute motion to a proposal by Fred Batlle, '64A&D, on tuition and out- of-state students, stressing that it would be detrimental if non-resi- dent enrollment were limited to 25 per cent at last night's meeting. Council urges that the Regents not adopt a tuition policy which might "prohibit otherwise quali- fied non-Michigan students from attending the University." The new motion introduced by Sharon Jeffery, '63, Detroit, .-indi- cates that in-state student enroll- ment is not curtailed by the pres- ent number of out-of-state stu- dents admitted. It emphasized the "need for a 'cosmopolitan nature' in an institution of higher learn- ing." Council also granted extensions to the deadline for membership selection statements to Alpha Chi Omega and Phi Sigma Sigma sor- orities at last night's meeting. Kappa Delta withdrew its re- quest for an extension. Alpha Chi Omega's statement will be due Friday, May 25, a week after the established deadline. Phi Sigma Sigma's was extended until next Wednesday, two days after the original limit. The basis for the extension of the first request was Alpha Chi Omega has submitted a statement, which the house believes adequate, to a lawyer for legal interpreta- tion as to the wording, and soror- ity president Gretchen Jones, '63 A&D, maintained that it would be improbable that it would be re- turned in time. The sorority asserted that it is "not bound by National policies regarding this matter." The re- quest was based mainly on the extra time needed for getting le- gal advice. Phi Sigma Sigma received an extension in order to seek the ap- proval of its statement frcm its Supreme Council. The request was made after confusion arose over who in the National organization of Phi Sigma Sigma's national or- ganization had to approve the statement, sorority president, Shei- la Kulick, '63, said. ; > , Yroposai Requires 1uition Boost; 'U' Needs $4-5 Million Additional By DAVID MARCUS Members of the Senate Appropriations Committee are considering a proposal to boost the University appropriation by $1.27 million providing the University matches the hike dollar for dollar by a tuition raise. The plan, worked out by Sen. Frank Beadle (R-St. Clair), who is in charge of drafting the budget for higher education, provides a total of $5 million in additional funds for all state colleges and universities with the tuition boost requirement attached to all of them. The Regents have requested a boost of $8.3 million for the '63-63 operating budget. University Executive Vice-President Marvin L. Niehuss has said"' that "necessary salary in- creases alone would be in ex- cess of $4-5 million." $36.7 Million The increase would bring University appropriation to proximately $36.7 million. the ap- Hyman Recovers Rapidly By JAN WINKELMAN Acting Associate Sports Editor Gymnast Lew Hyman, who was critically injured March 31, at Albuquerque, when he fell from the trampoline in the finals of the NCAA championship meet, has been released from Presbyterian Hospital in Albuquerque. Hyman flew home to Waslagh, N.Y., yesterday with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Hyman who have been with him since his ac- cident. In the last week, Hyman has made a remarkable improvement. He recognizes and talks with his parents and has regained 90 per cent use of his previously weak- ened right side. Doctors at Pres- byterian Hospital cite his recovery' to date as evidence for a complete recovery in every respect. Before leaving the hospital, Hy- man had been outside riding in a car with his parents, had been feeding and dressing himself, and had conversed with members of the hospital staff. Hyman was not given much chance to live after the accident. Emergency brain surgery was necessary to relieve pressure upon Hyman's brain du to hemorrhag- ing incurred when he fell from the trampoline and hit his head on the wood floor while perform- ing his last trick of the competi- tion. He was in a coma for a week following the accident. For two weeks he was partially paralyzed on his right side and had lost the ability to communicate. Right Side He slowly regained use of his right side, but until last week ap- parently did not recognize his par- ents. He spoke coherently with them, though, at times, as much as two weeks ago. According to gymnastics coach Newt Loken, who has been in con- stant contact with hospital offi- cials, "Lew is proud of his letter sweater and speaks to his parents about the boys on the team." Hyman's father expects Le* to be back in school next fall, al- though he is not sure if Lew will return to the University. Hyman was a second semester sophomore this February. Sen. Stanley G. Thayer (R-Ann Arbor), a member of the Appro- priations Committee, commented, "I think there should be a move on tuition. "Schools should be required to1 help meet the burden." He added that in the proposed appropriations figures are not yet final. Appropriations Committee Chair- man Elmer R. Porter (R-Blissfield) said he was not familiar with the specific proposal brought forth by Beadle. He noted that the com- mittee "hasn't sat down to talk about specific figures yet." Porter has said that there is general agreement in the Senate that any appropriation boosts to state colleges and universities would be tied to a tuition boost. Francis Backs Plan Among the backers of the Beadle proposal are Sen. Lynn O. Francis (R-Midland), the Senate majority leader. The plan provides that institu- tions of higher learning can re- ceive additional funds up to a maximum of 50 per cent of the in- crease recommended by Gov. John B. Swainson. Under the formula described in the plan, Michigan State Univer- sity would receive an additional $1.0 million; Wayne State Univer- sity would receive a $.9 million boost; Ferris Institute would get a $.3 million hike; Michigan Tech would get an additional $.3 mil- lion; Central Michigan University would receive a $.3 million boost; Northern Michigan University would also get $.2 million extra; and Western Michigan University would receive an additional $.4 million. 'Tax Package Encounters Obstruction LANSING VP) - Legislative ma- chinery shifted into neutral yes- terday in its drive to get a state tax program rolling. "I guess we're mostly playing a waiting game," said Rep. Allison Green, (R-Kingston) House ma- jority leader. A Republican caucus after yesterday's session skirted the sub. pct of taxes, Green said. The House is faced with two packages - one of so-called "nui- sance" taxes, the other based on personal and corporate income taxes. Rep. Rollo G. Conlin, (R-Tip- ton) is author of the income tax- based package. Illness forced him to miss the caucus and a brief meeting of the House Taxation Committee. "We would have liked to talk to Conlin," Green said, to reach some sort of agreement on the two proposals. The GOP leader said earlier that the Republican-fa- vored pfckage could not move un- til Democrats had a chance to vote on the income tax program. It was generally conceded by both sides that an income tax would have no chance of getting through the Senate this year, he said. But, he added, "the sooner we get the Conlin package out, the sooner we'll break the log jam." The House also received and sent to committee a resolution c a I1i n g for a constitutional amendment limiting a state in- come tax to a six per cent maxi- mum. The Senate, meanwhile, marked time-waiting for the House to take definite action on taxes. At present, instate undergraduate students pay $280 and non- residents $750. The regents arrived at these rates in May 1960 when they raised fee payments from $250 and $600, respectively. Members of the University's governing board converged on Ann Arbor last night prepared to tackle the knotty problem of tuition in- creases at their monthly meeting. Private Discussions The administration's recom- mendations will be delivered and discussed during the Regents' two days of private and public sessions. The possibility exists that the Regents will take no final action as they stated last month a desire to postpone consideration of tui- tion hikes until after the legisla- tive appropriation has been passed. Among the various plans to be presented is one which would dif- ferentiate between freshman and sophomores on one level and jun- iors and seniors on achigher one in keeping with the fact that it costs more to educate upperclassmen. The plans contain a dispropor- tionate raise for out-of-state un- dergraduate students as opposed to an across the board boost. The provisions for raises in graduate and professional fees are more equitable. Graduate Hikes Graduate school fees, which are presently at $280 for instaters and $750 for non-residents, fae hikes up to $350 and $1,000 respectively. The medical and dental schools may go from levels of $620 and $1,230 to as high as $750 and $1500. The law school faces a possible increase from $400 and $880 to $480 and $1100. The school of Public Health could rise to $600 and $1400 from $460 and $1050. University officials refused to comments on the plan as the Re- gents have yet to take any action on them. Executive Vice-President Marvin L. Niehuss has said in the past that the University needs a mini- mum increase of $4 million over last year's funds. This figure would be raised by both tuition increases and higher legislative appropriations. At pres- ent the University is working witn- in the possibility of a $2 million boost in appropriations, a figure recommended by Governor Jonn B. Swainson. Group Scraps Works Plait WASHINGTON ()-The House Public Works Committee yester- day scrapped President John F. Kennedy's proposed $2 billion standby public works program but boosted the amount he asked for immediate use. As a party-line vote of 18-12 the Democrats on the committee ap- proved a bill authorizing $900 million for public works and set- ting up a new office to run the program. Kennedy had asked for $600 million. The bill was brought in as a last-minute substitute for the ad- ministration's proposals by Rep. John A. Blatnik (D-Minn) and its prompt passage brought cries of "railroad tactics" from Re- publicans. Blatnik's bill would establish an Office of Public Works Coordina- tion and acceleration, headed by a $20,000-a-year director. MARVIN L. NIEHUSS ... $4 million hike HEARINGS: To Probe Estes Case WASHINGTON (P) - The Sen- ate Investigations Subcommittee will meet today to order officially the start of public hearings in the Billie Sol Estes case. Chairman John L. McClellan, (D-Ark), announced he was call- ing the meeting to obtain approval for the action which subcommittee members have said will be granted without doubt. They expect first hearings will get under way in the politically explosive probe late this month. Investigators McClellan said staff investiga- tors will give the Senators a de- tailed progress report on their in- vestigation of alleged influence dealings between government offi- cials and Estes, millionaire Texan now awaiting trial on fraud charges. The chairman said he also would request the usual authority to order balky witnesses quizzed by the subcommittee behind closed doors in advance of public hear- ings. Today's meeting, which will be closed, will offer the subcommit- tee's Republican and Democratic members a chance to determine the extent of any possible partisan bickering in the inquiry. Sen. Karl E. Mndt, (R-S.D.) has called the probe a team ef- fort, in which the testimony will be allowed to take its course re- gardless of the political affiliations of those involved. McClellan prom- ised a thorough investigation no matter where the trail of evidence may lead. Partisan Demands Today's meeting will be 4held against a background of some Re publican demands for the ouster of Secretary of Agriculture Orville L. Freeman on grounds he has, not actively pressed his own inves- tigation of dealings between Estes and some of his subordinates. Thus far, Freeman has fired two aides, including former Asst. Sec- retary James T. Ralph, and a third has resigned. The names of all were linked with that of the gift-giving Estes, who founded a $50-million financial empire on dealings in government farm pro- grams. Subcommittee sources have in- dicated the inquiry may lead into other branches of government, in- cluding the Labor Department, and may cover events in both the Kennedy and Eisenhower Admin- istrations. U.S. -Japanese Shot Succeeds WASHINGTON )- A U.S.- Japanese rocket rose up 80 miles last night in thethird and final phase of a joint effort to test the temperature and density of the ionosphere. Like another shot at noon yes- terday and the first of the series on April 26, the scientific payload was sent up by a Nike-Cajun ve- hicle from Wallops Island, Va. and the instruiment 'pakag lndeddin Delegates Ask To Outlaw Orbiting Bomb BRIGHTON OP)-A high level conference of Western strategists yesterday called on East-West negotiators at Geneva to outlaw any earth-orbiting H-bomb before lit becomes a reality. Ending a four-day study of out- er space and its military implica- tions. the European-American As- sembly asserted that such weapons of mass destruction must be ban- ned either as part of a general disarmament program or by sep- arate agreement with the Rus- sians. Final Report The conference's 2,000-word final report said thedGeneva disarma- ment talks had disclosed some similarity between the United States and Soviet positions on pro- hibiting orbital weapons. "There is no time to be lost in pursuing such an agreement, safe- guarded by an effective verifica- tion system," the assembly de- clared. Convened by the American As- sembly of Columbia University, the 11-nation conference was attended by some 70 leaders in the fields of science, defense, politics and law. A spokesman said its report will be widely circulated among West- ern governments.

Four weeks before his acci- dent, Hyman was runner-up in tumbling in the Big Ten cham- pion:3hip meet at Columbus. Loken was looking forward to Hyman as a valuable man in trampoline and tumbling next semester. NSA CONTROVERSY:' Conservatives Invade Oklahoma Campus) By NAN ROBERTSON New York Times News Analyst This is the story of a most curious happening at the Univer- sity of Oklahoma, and its implica- tions. It is a case history of how two young conservatives "invaded" a campus, and the difference be- tween a press release issued in New York and what Oklahoma students said was the truth. Recently newspapers received a release from the Young Americans for Freedom. It said that Okla- homa students, in a referendum, had "voted by the overwhelming affiliation with the radical group," the two said in the release. "The student-' response to the expose of the ultra-leftism of NSA reaffirms our belief that the stu- dents of today are predominantly conservative." The YAF is worthy of atten- tion because it claims to be the biggcst right-wing student group in the country with 21,000 to 30,000 members. However, a nation-wide tour of campuses and personal interviews with hundreds of students last month indicated that the group was much smaller. Self-Inflating Scmne Republican students called A third YAP director, Lynn Bouchey of Seattle, met once with about twenty rightist Oklahoma students on the campus. According to three witnesses there, he sug- gested tha'; "even though we know NSA is not Communist, we can use this as a whisper campaign to beat them." He also was said to have pro- posed such tactics as flooding the campus with handbills about NSA printed on pink paper to get across the subliminal idea that the group was "i inko." Following this meeting, two con- servative law students leading the anti-NSA campaign told Stanley by telephone to "get YAP off °" .-.-"...
