Spe ROBERT A. FINKE ...progressive Union Finke Sees Union Pans hF or Cange 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.

Albert R. Horrigan i(D- Flint), assistant minority floor leader, commented, "This resolu- tion will serve no useful purpose." Constitutional Status - Although the three large state- supported' universities, the Uni- stitutional status which leavs pol- icy questions exclusively in the hands of their governing boards, House GOP leader Allison Green (R-Kingston) said he felt the Legislature has a right to be in- volved in these situations because these institutions are state-sup- ported. However, Rep. William Marshall (R-Allen), a sponsor of the reso- lution, said that the Legislature recognizes te constiuional sta- us of the three major state ui- v riestothese and other tax-sup- ported colleges and universities.' Expect Acceptance Of Algeria in UN UNITED NATIONS (AP) - Al- geria is expected to become a United Nations member before the end of July, diplomatic sources predicted yesterday. By RONALD WILTON 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 .....................sigsiM~islse essas##is#isssm~ Base New Fee Spit on Surveys were computed in the following 1)nn The number of credit hours taught by each instrctor instructio r ecord.ea hf cly m ee wasthen divided by tr according to the courses taught and the class levels of the stu- dents enrolled. Other Items 3) Costs for other items, such 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 Council Director Otto Graf, Prof. William Haber of the economics department, Prof.~ Allan Kassef of Princeton University, Kenneth Keniston of Harvard University, art critic Gilbert Seldes and Hans Rosenhaupt, director of the Wood- See SET, Page 2 COMEDY, OPERA, DRA MA: Payers Tel Summer Fare Salemate At Tuesday Session 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 cent hikeh inethecigarette ta which will bring in $21 million; and an $8 million tax on telephone and telegraph services.

'Beautiful Feast' Called a "beautiful feast of rol- licking mummery" by Brooks At- kinson, "The Boys From Syracuse" concerns several cases of mistaken identity and the trouble resulting. It is scheduled for presentation June 27-30. Peter Shaffer's "Five Finger Exercise," winner of the New York Critics' Circle Award as best for- eign play of the year, will be per- formed July 11-14. This drama reveals the tradegy of an English famiby without love and an immigrant tutor who sharply brings out their weak- nesses and anxieties. "Five Finger Exercise" will be directed by Prof. Hugh Z. Norton of the speech de- partment. Betti Play "The Queen and the Rebel" will be preseted Jul 18-21 Drected department, this play was written by Ugo Betti, generally considered Italy's leading playwright at the time of his death in 1953. jugBetti'es inerests are stronglya reflected in this drama of a queen bruised by people and ideas she does not understand, and sacrific- ed to various political necessities. Dylan Tomas e ' "Unde Milk Wood," a verse play, will be pre- sented next. Prof. Claribel Baird of the speech department will di- rect this story of a life-loving Welsh seacoast village.

Ralph W. Duckwall, Jr. has been slated to design scenery for all the productions and Zelma H. Weis- feld has been hired as costume designer. The plays will be presented at 8:00 p.m. in Trueblood Aud. Request Probe Of 'Medicare' LANSING - Republicans ask- ing for a state investigation of medical care programs for the aged have charged Gov. John B. Swainson and Sen. Patrick Mc- Namara (D-Mich.) with propos- ing "the biggest tax grab ever at- tempted in Michigan." The GOP leaders said that the medical care programs outshine President John F. Kennedy's so- cial security plan. The present federal plan, based on the Kerr- Mills Act of 1960, has been oper- ating in Michigan since last year. 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. me'. mm s i
