Curricula Revisions Focused in Medical Sci ences By GERALD -STORCH and RUTH HETMANSKI When the University opens up shop in the fall, it will find that substantial changes have been made in curricula dealing with medical sciences, but less sweeping ones in most schools and departments. The nursing school, pharmacy college and public health school have reshuffled their degree requirements, while the engineering col- lege will be offering a program in bio-engineering, especially designed to integrate studies in the engineering and medical-biological sciences. Vice-President for Academic Affairs Roger W. Heyns saw no un- usual significance in or overall reason for the major curriculum changes being concentrated in the medical sciences. Year-Round Operation Although the schools are currently studying how their programs would be fitted into the proposed year-round operation, slated to be- gin in 1963-64, Heyns said he did not anticipate any spectacular in- crease next year in curriculum changes forced by the calendar transi- tion. A school-by-school rundown on curriculum changes, plus a glimpse at how these colleges may have to revise their curricula to adjust to trimester: Architecture College .,.. Assistant Dean Herbert Johe says no major curriculum changes will be made this year. As a "medium-sized" college, however, it might find difficulty in offering in the proposed summer session expansion all the courses it has in the spring and fall terms. Many of the third, fourth and fifth-year architecture students who normally would be more inclined to attend a summer session are encouraged to obtain jobs and professional experience, Dean Johe says. Business School... Associate Dean Dick A. Leabo reports that students working to- wards their master's degree in business administration will be requir- ed to have at least 30 credit hours in '500' courses. The move was made so that these students would have at least half their required work in courses open only to graduate students, Leabo said. Several faculty committees within the business school are re- viewing aspects of the curriculum, including further study of the master's degree program. There is a possibility that curriculum deci- sions may yet be made this term, as the faculty meets tomorrow and will have another meeting. Dentistry College,... Prof. Robert Doerr, secretary, says there will -be no curriculum changes next year. In reference to full-year calendar, he pointed out that dental clinics would have to be air-conditioned to counteract the extreme summer heat if the school would be able to offer an expanded summer session. Education School ... Associate Dean Charles F. Lehmann reports that students plan- ning to become elementary school teachers will be required to take a mathematics course, which will be offered starting in September, 1963. New courses on tap for this fall include electives in counseling and educational psychology, along with a non-credit seminar on In- dian education. Explaining his school's situation in regard to full-year operation, Dean Lehmann said that the education school might run into problems with the schedule of University High School, in which it is located. With the University's trimester calendar conflicting with the Ann Arbor school system timetable, the high school might have to operate on a schedule independent of that of other city schools. Engineering College... Curriculum additions for this fall, besides the bio-engineering program, include courses in soil mechanics, ship motions and vibra- tions, machinability research and seminars on nonlinear systems, ran- dom processes, data transmission and automatic control, Associate Dean Glenn V. Edmondson says. The bio-engineering program wil combine studies in any aspect of engineering with those in medical and biological sciences, so that the student, who would graduate with an engineering degree, would be equipped to work professionally in anatomy, bio-chemistry, botany, physiology, psychology, zoology and other medical and biological research. Scholarships, fellowships and grants are already available for this interdisciplinary program. Graduate School... Associate Dean Freeman D. Miller points out that the graduate school itself has no faculty, and hence no curriculum, as it merely co- ordinates and approves the entrance of students into graduate pro- grams in other departments within the University. x See DEANS, Page 2 HATCHER'S ACTION COURAGEOUS See Page 4 :Y A&iAau A& 4M'atly COOLER High-72 Low-50 Fair and mild tomorrow. Seventy-One Years of Editorial Freedom VOL. LXXII, No. 169 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, MAY 24, 1962 SEVEN CENTS EIGHT PAGES ON CAMPUS: Braden, Wilkinson Hit HUAC By ROBERT SELWA Carl Braden and Frank Wilkin- son, speaking on campus last night under the auspices of Voice Po- litical Party and the Democratic Socialists Club, presented a case for civil liberties and against the House Un-American Activities Committee. Braden stressed that the First Amendment freedoms of speech and assembly make possible the peaceful transformation of so- ciety. "If we don't have these free- doms, change may become vio- lent," he said. Wilkinson stressed that HUAC's investigation of propaganda vio- lates the First Amendment's exact words that "Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or of the people peaceably to assemble .. -Braden and Wilkinson have "ap- peared, under subpoena, before HUAC and have refused to an- swer its questions, pleading the First Amendment. Convicted of contempt of Congress by the Fed- eral District Court in Atlanta, they took their case to the Supreme Court. It upheld their convictions last year by a 5-4 vote and they served nine months in prison. "It is possible that the Supreme -Daily-Jerome Starr ABOLISH THE COMMITTEE-Frank Wilkinson looks on as Carl Braden advocates abolition of the House Un-American Activities Committee. Court is swinging around on the question of contempt of Congress convictions," Braden' continued last night, citing the Court's set- ting aside of six of such convic- tions on a legal technicality ear- lier this week. Braden, an associate editor of The Southern Patriot, related in- cidents of repression of integra- tionists in the South and indicated Fontanna Observes, A Changing University (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first of two articles on Deans Stanley G. Fontanna of the natural re- sources school and Paul H. Jeserich of the dental school who will retire this June.) By HARRY PERLSTADT Acting Co-Magazine Editor The modern world with all its complexities has even reached the forest primeval. "Today's natural resources stu- dent must know more things than I did when I went to school," Dean Stanley G. Fontanna of the nat- ural resources school observes. "When I came here we were sim- ply foresters. Now students spe- cialize in silviculture, entomology or pathology, to name a few. It is simply a recognition of the growingj complexity of the world." Dean Fontanna, who graduated from the University in 1917, will retire this summer after eleven years as head of the natural re- sources school. He hopes to get "out of the frozen north where I spent most of my life to a warmer climate." Succeeds Dana He was deputy director of the Michigan department of conserva- tion before he was asked to return to the University in 1951 to suc- ceed Dean Emeritus Samuel Trask Dana. He handled much of the ac- tual administration of the state department, and reorganized both the finance and personnel sections. He has also served with the Mich- igan State Planning Commission and on the Council of the Society of American Foresters. Under Dean Fontanna's guid- ance, the school of natural re- sources has inaugurated new pro- grams in forestry, in soil and water, economics and recreation. In wood technology, the program was altered to include courses in industrial engineering. Combined , ssam s with P sn ce n r of m P them to political science. It pro- vides a good background," he says. "Our whole system of education demands more and more special- ized knowledge, and presenting this becomes more difficult," the dean explains. An academic oper- ation is not quite like government or industry, although in running one a dean administers depart- ments within the school, handles finances and personnel, and is in charge of various programs. One of the major programs was to move the natural resources school into the remodelled West Medical Bldg. In its new building, the school has twice as much space as before - new laboratories, equipment and better classrooms and offices. In particular, Dean Fontanna cites the additional fa- cilities for the graduate students who comprise 40 per cent of the school. When he attended the Univer- sity, there were only 5,000 stu- dents on campus and relatively few graduate students. "I was a member of a committee to raise money for- an addition to the Michigan Union," he recalls. "We resented women on campus - co-eds were new then. But now things have changed." Whole Program Dean Fontanna, looking back on his past eleven years here, says the University has taken on new re- sponsibilities.. The whole program in nuclear science and many things in the Medical School were not conceived of eleven years ago. ,But throughout, the University has consistently maintained its high quality and has grown more into the graduate field. "The University will probably go into the trimester program," he says. "The advantages wouldn't particularly save money - it will be expensive. But the University will he nhle tn noe its facilities that this atmosphere is boosted by HUAC. "We are witnessing the revival of McCarthyism in the South," he declared, "because all other weapons of the segregationists are failing." Wilkinson drew a distinction be- tween investigation of propaganda and investigation of overt violence, commenting that the latter is a, rightful function of "the 19 other legitimate committees of the House." Braden drew a similar distinc- tion, urging: "Let everyone speak and organ- ize; stop them only when they at- tempt violence against the govern- ment. But as long as we preserve the Bill of Rights, we won't have to worry about violence." The pair were asked if they are Communist. "This question should not be asked or answered until the open marketplace is restored," Wilkinson said. "Whenever you answer a ques- tion like this posed by the Com- mittee, you lend your support to HUAC," Braden said. Crowd Hears Communist A crowd, estimated from 600 to 1,000 persons, heard Robert Thompson, a Communist official, talk about the party, its philoso- phy, aims and tactics in the back yard of the Delta Phi Sigma fra- ternity at Michigan State Univer- sity last night. sIGCI A Chi O Hit; .D Phi E Gets More Time Nohl Sees Question On Right of Action By GAIL EVANS As The Daily went to press at 2 a.m. Student Government Council still had to hear the report of its Committee on Membership and approve a delegation to the Na- tional Student Congress before ad- journing for the semester. Earlier, two sororities, Alpha Chi Omega and Delta Phi Epsilon, came before SGC to ask for spe- cial consideration for extending deadlines on membership selection statements . Council decided to consider the requests in both cases. Alpha Chi Omega was refused an extension until fall in a 10 to 5 vote. Delta Phi Epsilon was granted an ex- tension until June 1. Alpha Chi Omega's request was for an extension of an extension. Although Alpha Chi Omega main- tained local autonomy, on Monday the national president informed the local chapter that the Nation- al Council would have to approve the statement. Richard Nohl, '62BAd, said that he voted against re-extending Al- pha Chi Omega's deadline because the grounds for extension were not sufficient. He maintained that a basic question, underlying re- quests for extensions was whether SGC has the right to ask for membership statements. Delta Phi Epsilon asked for an extension because its national, which is preparing the complete statement, informed the local Thursday that it did not plan to submit a statement. This action was in accord with a non-binding consensus reached at a recent Na- tional Panhellenic Delegates con- ference not to abide by Council's deadline. Panhellenic Association Presi- dent Ann McMillan, '63, said that the decision not to submit was connected with a disagreement on the definition of a student orga- nization, and whether a sorority fell under this definition. * * * * * * Allocation, rumittee Mulls Tuition Hikes Trustee Use Acclaimed By Hatcher The American college trustee system has helped carry this coun- try to world leadership, University President Harlan Hatcher said yesterday at the University of Il- linois. Speaking at a luncheon in honor of Illinois' past trustees, President Hatcher noted that approximately 30,000 trustees are "unstintingly contributing their time and varied experience to the cause of educa- tion." As laymen with limited exper- ience in the field of education, trustees are generally asked not to manage their college, but to see it is properly managed, Pres- ident Hatcher said. "They ask the discerning ques- tion and make the probing inquiry to assure the wisdom, judgment and procedure for administrative decisions. They. act, too, as a shield, guarding the freedom of the institution and the rights of those who serve it," he said. President Hatcher observed the danger that "one group may be over-represented" among the trus- tees of a public university. "This is not distressing if the trustees involved are concerned primarily with the welfare of the institution and secondarily with the objectives of their special- interest group." ' He mentioned academic free- dom, finances, the institution's proper relationship to "a world of increasing inteidependence," and student activities as areas, of trus- tee concern. MORNING SHOT: Commanders Prepare Carpenter Countdown CAPE CANAVERAL W-)-Project Mercury commanders started the final countdown last night for astronaut Malcolm Scott Car- penter's triple orbit of the globe. Target hour for the launch is 7 a.m. today./ If delays occur because of weather, forest fire smoke or mechani- cal bugs, blast-off time could be big Atlas bearing Carpenter's, Aurora 7 spaceship does not get off by that time, the big adven- ture is to be postponed for another day, at least. This is because Project Mercury officials are determined to shoot for no less than three orbits, and a launch time later than 10:30 would not allow sufficient day- light to assure Carpenter's safe recovery from the Atlantic. See Related Stories, Page 3 As the final countdown started at 11 p.m, last night, everything was reported in a "go" condition, including the rocket, and the cap- sule. Weather forecasts were fa- vorable, although there was still a possibility of smoke from forest and swamp fires.

Of Resources By The Associated Press DETROIT - Assistant Defense Secretary Thomas D. Morris said yesterday that if Michigan is to get more defense contracts it must exploit the state's university re- sources. In an address to a Michigan Week luncheon, Morris said : "You must exploit the fact that the Midwest, with its great uni- versity resources and with its heavy annual production of pro- fessional men, has an opportunity and an obligation to participate in military research and development to a degree at least proportional to your share of the nation's scien- tific and technical skills." , Morris said military proceure- ment patterns in the next decade "may well be foreshadowed by the extent to which each community invests its resources today in the new research frontiers of tomor- row." Sawyer Comments Vice-President , for Research Ralph Sawyer commented that "for the fiscal year ending June, 1961, the University was fifth among all non-profit agencies and universities in Defense Depart- ment research." The only universities ahead of the University were Massachusetts Institute of Technology, California Institute of Technology and Johns Hopkins University, Sawyer said. He noted, however, that the oth- er large universities in Michigan- Michigan State University and Wayne State University - were very low on the list of holders of Defense Department contracts. MSU was No. 102 out of 103 uni- versities and non-profit making agencies and WSU was not on the list. Heavy Industry Sawyer also pointed out that the state's industries have not gotten into the aeronautics and To Consider Funds .for'U 'In Ten Days Porter Noncommittal on Disagreements With Beadle's Plan By DAVID MARCUS The S e n a t e Appropriations Committee is discussing a $5 mil- lion increase in the higher educa- tion budget with the stipulation that there must be a dollar-for- dollar tuition boost, Sen. Elmer R. Porter (R-Blissfield), chair- man, confirmed yesterday. Porter would not say how much of the $5 million would be slated for. the University or any other institution. He added that the fin- al recommendation on the Uni- versity appropriation would prob- ably reach the floor of the Senate within the next 10 days. The plan, similar in the amount and tuition hike conditions to a measure proposed by committee member Sen. Frank D. Beadle (R- St. Clair), does differ from the earlier proposal, Porter said, but he would not specify in what re- spect. Provisions The Beadle plan would give the University $1.27 million more for next year's operating budget. The Regents have requested an $8.3 million boost. The Regents have delayed ac- tion on a tuition boost until the Legislature completes appropria- tions, University Executive Vice- President Marvin L. Niehuss has said. The Senate has just begun ap propriations .for state services while the House is still working to get together an acceptable pack- age of nuisance taxes. Wait for House The Senate is waiting for the House to act on the $69 million tax package, which includes levies on beer, cigarettes, telephone and telegraph services and liquor. The first of these measures to reach the floor, the cigarette tax, was defeated. Gov. John B. Swainson has cleared the way for a nuisance tax package by his concession that the prospects for an income tax and fiscal reform are dead for the year. But the House, nearly even- ly split between the two parties, has been unable to reach agree- ment on specific measures. One tax, a one per cent whole- sale sales tax designed to bring in $100 million per year, is also under consideration by the House Tation :.Cmmittee * * * HOPWOOD LECTURE: Schorer Discusses Biography By PATRICIA O'CONNOR "Biography involves the inter- penetration of one mind by an- other," Prof. Mark Schorer, chair- man of the English department of the University of California in Berkeley, said yesterday. Speaking on the "Burdens of Biography" at the Hopwood lec-, ture, Prof. Schorer said the bur- den of "writing in chains" can be pleasant since facts can have elegance and poetry in them- selves. "Making a man live and making him live in the re-animated time of his life becomes the proper province of biography," he said. Selection Biography, like fiction, remains a narrative art. The biographer faces the problem of selecting from his vast material the details which will best fall into the nar- rative and the strains which ap- pear most often. Commenting on his biography he doesn't know what the book will be about or what shape it will take. Commenting on the burden of using living witnesses, Prof. Schor- er cited the possibility that human vanity may lead to a dressing up of the facts or an exasperating reticence. The fallibility of human memory must also be considered, he said. An intimate friend may not be a man's best biographer. Personal Burdens memories may throw the bio- graphy off balance. An intimate friend would think he know the subject already. But, first of all, the biographer must be a drudge and probe closely into the sub- ject's life, he noted. Anything true and relevant to the theme may be incorporated into the biography. In addition to a theme and a unifying attitude, however, a biographer needs a plot.
