By JAMES NICHOLS .
"The Michigan Union is in a
state of change - of defining its
goals, of making clearer its posi-
tion in the University community,"
according to Union President Rob-
ert Finke, '63.
In a lengthy discussion yester-
day, Finke's comments and re-
changes in the Micig n Unio
Grill this summer to the philoso-
phy and long-range plans of the
"he Union is principally a stu-
dent canter. Its primary obliga-
tion Is to the students," he said.
Test Case
The changes in the MUG's at-
mosphere will provide a test
case" whose results may help
guide future planning for the Un-
ion, he said.
Finke urged that stpdents use
and evaluate the new facilities.
The best recourse of "those who
are most concerned that a change
occur. in the ground-floor facility
of the Union is to use it them-
selves," he said.
With the appearance of a "coin-
letely nlew MUG" may come new
rules of conduct to "determine the
standards we wish to uphold,"
IFinke redicted. Regulations con-
cerning conduct and use of the
MUG for studying may be made
as they become necessary, he said.
May Change Pool
Other plans now under consider-
ation w'ould convert the present
swimming pool -area to either a
conference room or to a "bag-
lunch and study room." The plan-
ners are looking toward a future
as a conference center, attracting
state and national groups, Finke
"I it evolves that the confer-
en'ce center is in immediate sight,"
the study room, with vending fa-
cilities, will probably be provided.
In any case, the UItion may con-
Fstruct conference facilities in a
new South wing within the next
few years.

A partial basis for the dif-
ferential tuition rates forj frs-
and seniors and graduate stu-
dents is a cost study of Uni-
yersity operations, made this
year, University President Har-
lan H. Hatcher revealed Thurs-
day when he announced the .fee
increases.
"This study provides a new
basis on which to determine
that part of the cost to be borne
by each level of student--the
and the graduateh professional,
those whose homes are in Mich-
igan, and those who live out of
state," President Hatcher ex-
plained. d
-Unique Tuition Policy
The University thus became
the first state-supported college
or university to adopt this tui-
tion policy. There is at least
one private institution that
charges - such differential fees.
The intensive University-con-
ducted cost stud of its 1960-6 1
operations reduced the matter
to a group of tables, three of
which are immediately relevant
to the tuition plan.
The tables concern full-time
students only. The survey def-
inition of full-time students is
1)seA ful tim 1undergraduat
hurs each semester orr31ess-
mester hours for a full year;
Hours Considered
2) A full-time masters stu-
dent takes 12 hours each semes-
ter or 24 semester hours during
the September-June academic
year;
3)~ A full-time equivalent
Ph .D. student takes eight hours
each semester or 16 hours the
academic year; andgdut r
graduate-professional student is
considered individually. This is
based on the fact that there are
not very many candidates for
degrees in these schools who
are not full-time students.
Semester Hours
The first oX the survey's
tables is concerned with semes-
ter hours elected by class level,
approximate instructional costs
and amount paid by students.
Freshmen and sophomores,
electing 229,575 semester hours
last year at a total cost of $5,-
732,987, paid $3,204,462.
Juniors and seniors elected
237,937 semester hours, for a
total cost- of $10,694,449. To
this they contributed $3,785,903.
Graduate and graduate pro-
051 semeste hours,teir duca-
which they paid $4,203,274. fr
The second survey table broke
these figures down to average
cost per semester hour by class
level and average amount paid.
Costs for freshmen and soph-
omores again were at the bot-
tom of the list with these stu-
dents paying $13.96 out of a
total cost of $24.97 per hour.
Aevrage Full-Time Cost
the average cost per fultm
year for one student from Sep-
tember 1960 to June 1961.
The total cost for freshmen
and sophomores was $774 with
$443 of this being paid by stu-
dents. For juniors and seniors
the figure was again almost
doubled, totalling $1393, with
the students contributing $493
towards this.
Quadrupled Costs
Graduate and graduate-pro-
fessional total costs were almost
four times those of the fresh-
man-sophomore group, being
$2980; yet the average amount
paid by the student was only
$434.
The direct instructional costs

as secretarial and technical ser-
equipment and related serices
for which appropriations are
made directly to the schools
and colleges, were allocated to
the departments on the same
basis as the second item.
Indirect costs were also taken
into account. These included
such supporting services as Ii -
braries, student services, gen-
-eral administration, plant ope'-
ation and maintainence a.nd all
other services. These are in-
cluded in the general iunds
budget but allocated to each in-
structional level'.
The direct instructional costs,
plus the allocations for indirect
supporting services, were then
totalled to give the total in-
structional costs by level.

Plan Events
For Session
By GERALD STOUCH
The University summer session
is traditionally a time for relaxed
intellectual endea ors and a vast
array of cultural and academic
programs and Institutes.
Even if the piroposed year-round
operation goes into effect as
drowsydch1armm-y4be lst as cam-
pus facilities are more intensively
utilized, the 1962 summer session
will continue to offer a wide va-
riety of symposia and educational
conferences.
'U. S. Youth' Lectures
Perhaps the highlight of this
aspect of summer school is a six-
week lecture series on American
Youth, from June 27 to Aug. 1.
Speakers will include former
Olympic star Jesse Owens, Honors

Comupromise Levy Package To Add
$84 Million iii New State Revenues
By DAVID MARCUS
An $84 million "nuisance tax" package which came out of
a Republican House caucus yesterday, may well end the taxa-
tion logj am in the Legislature, Rep. Gilbert E. Bursley (R-Ann
Arbor) predicted yesterday.
The new package boosts the original Republican revenue
proposals $28 million in order to satisfy Democratic demands
that any tax proposal bring in at least $70 million in addi-
tional income next year, Rep. Carroll C. Newton (R-Delton),
the assistant majority floor leader, said.
Bursley predicted a vote next Tuesday.
Thle proposed levies will be tied together in an all or
nothing package, Bursley said, in order to prevent cut-backs
by an economy minded Senatej ..
or a gubernatorial veto.~
Substantial Increase
The package, if passed, would
mean a "substantial" increase in
the University appropriation, espe-
cially in light of the legislative
approval caused by Thursday's
announcement of a tuition boost,
Bursley said.
The new taxes include:4
A one cent boost in the beer
tax designed to bring in $17 mil-
lion to be ear marnked forn aid to
education: an additional cent on

The GOP leaders said that the

BOOST HOPES FOR TOURNEY: *
By BILL BULLARD
Michigan batters staged a 15-hit attack off three Western Michi #
gan pitchers yesterday at Ferry Field to gain a 9-2 victory and boost
their chances of being selected for the District Four NCAA Tourney.
A committee will meet Sunday in Ft. Wayne, Ind. to pick the four
teams for the district layoffs. Western is the only atuomatic selection
because it won the Mid-American Conference title. Illinois, Detroit, y
Michigan, and Notre Dame are the top candidates for the three at- 4
""" Delicately Decisive Double
Michigan's chances for the NCAA selection would be further en-
hanced with a double win over Western today at Kalamazoo. Western's
loss yesterday was its second of the season. Ohio State was the only
previous conquerer of the Broncos. Western now has a 15-2 season
record while the Wolverines are 21-11 for the season.
