Groun Stresses
Honors Program
The exceptional student-the
student admitted to the literary:
college Honors Program at some1
time during his career in the col-1
lege-and the treatment he re-
ceived and ought to receive dom-;
inated a discussion among 12 fac-
ulty members and students at-
tending the Conference yesterday.
The majority of these delegates
expressed the view that the Uni-
versity owes the best possible edu-
cation to the Honors student, for;
he will, by virtue of genetic super-
iority and willingness to work,
contribute most to society.
And, if a general downgrading
of the bulk of the undergraduates
not in the program is necessary to
afford this improved education, it
is quite justifiable.
Worthy Sacrifice?
Prof. Arnold Kaufman of the
philosophy department raised the
question of whether the sacrifice
of the best professors to a precious
few students at the expense of
nine-tenths of the undergraduates
is wise and ought to be policy.
Prof. Kaufman felt that the
systematic downgrading of the
"normal" undergraduate educa-
tion was not worth the superior
education given the Honors stu-
dents.
Discussion group co-leader Prof.
Otto Graf of the German depart-
ment, current director of the
Honors Program, asserted that the
sacrifice was quite good, not only
for the sake of the students in-
volved, but for certain professors
who "simply would not teach a
, "The justification for the Honors
Program is the same as a justifi-
cation for anything else-you see
how things would be without it.
If the program were eliminated, it
would be like spreading a million
dollars among a large population
-each person would come out two
dollars. richer, but the million-
aire would be ruined," Prof. Wil-
liam Le Veque of the mathamatics
department said.
No Justification Needed
Prof. Howard M. Ehrman of
the history department asserted
that the Honors Program, "like the
graduate school and various re-
search projects requires no justi-
fication-any such justification
would in fact have to be preceded
by a justification of the existance
of the University."
Ruth Galanter, '63, co-leader, of
the group, and a member of the
Honors Steering Committee, said
that the University has failed with
many of its non-honors students,
so that they do engage in the
"downgrading" interests Prof. Ehr-
mann had mentioned.
Lack of Inspiration
"But these 'mediocre' students
are not mediocre. The University
doesn't inspire them-sometimes,
through social connections, this
inspiration may occur, but it
should rightly 'be done in the
classroom. If we want educated
people, we must excite them to
education," Miss Galanter said.
However, Prof. Ehrmann argued
that the great number of under-
graduates are not academically-
minded.
"If you do this-if you feel the
bulk of students are not academic-
ally oriented, you, as a professor,.
will show it in your classes, and
your students will sense this at-
titude and act accordingly," Miss
Galanter said.
Prof. Le Veque added that "the
only way to maintain a great uni-
versity as such is by thinking of
students as adults and by con-
ducting classes with this thought
in mind."

Body Cites Apathy
Toward 'U' Needs
Ranging far and wide, Work-
shop B at the Conference on the
University generally conceded that
the University's relationship to the
state and the Legislature is not
a simple one.
But much of the problem was
found; to be in apathy or misun-
derstanding of the University's
needs.
And between those who do agree
that the University is entitled to
and needs more funds from the
Legislature there was still dis-
agreement about the source. of
those funds. Some favor increased
taxation and others call for finan-
cial cutbacks in other areas.
It was pointed out that the Leg-
islature, in the absence of added
tax revenue, hunted for further
sources of funds. One target is
the out-of-state student popula-
tions at the University, which leg-
islators contend is sapping the
financial beneficence of the state
without just cause.
It was pointed out that, al-
though the University is consti-
tutionally independent, it should
avoid airing its problems in pub-
lic.
The University's service to the
state was also considered. It was
pointed out that the extension
services of the various universities
overlap in some places and that
perhaps some manner of coordina-
tion should be undertaken to elim-
inate it.

Hatcher To Help Dedicate
New Ford College. Campus
1 1'I

By ROBERT SELWA
University President Harlan
Hatcher will join other educators
and public officials this afternoon
in dedicating the new campus of
Henry Ford Community College of
Dearborn.
Ford College has moved from
Lois Street to the vast Fairlane
Estates donated by the Henry
Ford family to HFCC and to the
University. Ford College's. new
campus is across from the Univer-
sity's Dearborn Center.
President Hatcher will speak at
the dedication, which is scheduled
to begin at 4 p.m. with a proces-
sional of the Ford College faculty
wearing academic robes.
Other Speakers
Other speakers will be Benson
Ford, president of the Ford Motor
Company Fund; Ford College'
Dean Fred K. Eshleman; Dearborn
Mayor Orville L. Hubbard; Roger
Craig, Dearborn school board pres-
ident; Stuart Openlander, Dear-
born school superintendent; and.
Jack R. Ronbouts, state deputy
superintendent of public instruc-
tion.
Dearborn Center director Wil-
liam Stirton is invited to be a plat-
form guest.
Ford College's "new look" is one
of modernism. Four contempor-
ary-styled buildings border a
sunken gardens quadrangle. The
Science building is equipped with
an observatory, and the Activities
building is styled with an undulat-
ing shell roof.
Five More Buildings
Plans call for the eventual erec-
tion of five more buildings. When
the campus is complete, Ford Col-
lege will accommodate 12,000 stu-
dents - twice that which the Lois
campus held.
Ford College was the ninth of
the sixteen public junior colleges
established so far in Michigan.
Founded in September, 1938, the
college offered classes only at
night, in the Fordson High School
building.
The college's enrollment reached
200, then dropped off because stu-
dents left for combat duty in the

second World War. Classes were
suspended in 1944 and 1945.
The college re-opened in 1946
on a full-time basis in a portion of
a partially-vacated elementary
school on Lois. In 1952 it pur-
chased the Ford Industrial build-
ing 50 yards away and expanded
its curriculum to include industrial
courses.
In 1956 Ford College erected a
science building on the campus.
In 1960 it obtaine t the Fairlane
campus and, with the aid of state
matching funds, began building
there.

dix Corp., associate professor of

P.S. BY THE WAY, we notice that some of the
other shops around town are offering the Greene's
Handi-Hamper idea. But they can't offer the on-
the-premise refrigerated storage vault of Greene's
exclusive Microclean process. It's a plus to you at
the same price.
