There will be a minimum three to four per cent increase in
residence hall fees next year, Vice-President for Student Affairs
James A. Lewis predicted yesterday.
The Board of Governors of Residence Halls will discuss the
raise in rates at a special meeting this week, probably on Thursday,
Lewis said. Notices will be sent to all students as soon as the new
rates are set.
The increase-which should be limited to $30 per student- is

Expressed Concern
Geary's letter expressed the
council's concern "for the right of
the residents not to be, vulnerable
to solicitation in their rooms
It is the opinion of the council
that granting your request would
be setting a dangerous precedent
that would lead the way for soli-
citation by all student organiza-
tions."
Geary also reported that the
council had denied the request,
since the members felt that Daily
solicitation outside the quads was
sufficient, and that further solici-
tation within the quads would be
an unnecessary intrusion upon
quad residents.
Acting Daily Business Manager
Lee J. Sclar, '63BAd, said that "the
action taken by IQC is not justi-
fied on the basis of the reasoning
communicated to us.
"When I asked Geary to cite an
instance where past methods of
Daily solicitation had been used as
justification for solicitation by
other student organizations, he
was unable to recall a single case."
Seems Unjustified
"The action seems particularly,
unjustified in light of the fact
that a proposal simnilar to the one
made to IQC has been passed by
Assembly Dormitory Council in a
straw vote."
Acting Daily Editor Michael
Olinick, '63, regretted the action,
saying that "it will deny many in-
coming freshmen the opportunity
to become acquainted with the
campus through two free issues
of The Daily, in which we attempt
to communicate many facts about
the University which they might
otherwise not know.
Acting City Editor Michael Har-
rah, '64BAd, deplored the action
as "clear and obvious discrimina-

Huff Charges
Money Lack
Causes Loss.
Warren Huff, a Michigan State
University trustee, charged that
what he called a "dangerous ero-
sion of our academic position" has
occured at MSU as a result of
the resignations of 27 faculty
members.
Huff said that the large num-
ber of resignations was due to
"plain lack of money.
"We used to lose good people to
industry and to more attractive
locations. Now they are going to
schools in Louisiana, Alabama and
similar places," he said.
MSU President, John Hannah,
told a meeting of the board of
trustees that the salary schedule
at that institution was now "ninth
or tenth in the Big Ten."
Better Off
As a result. Hannah said Thurs-
day, "faculty members get the
idea they'd be better off at other
Big Ten schools or even outside
the Big Ten."
As yet, no action has been taken
by the board regarding a raise in
tuition in order to increase sal-,
aries.I
No Word
No word is as yet forthcoming
on the roughly 2-21/ million dol-
lars it has been estimated MSU
would need to remedy its salaries
problem. No additional appropria-
tions on the part of the Legisla-
ture are expected at the present
time.,
Although MSU's salaries to in-
structors are the highest paid in
the Big Ten, the scale is near
the bottom of those paid to pro-

To Consider
GOP.'Packet
By DAVID MARCUS
The Legislature is heading for a
showdown in the next few days on
a new Republican nuisance tax
package that could break the leg-
islative logjam on taxes.
The $85 million package, which
came out of a Republican cau-
cus last Friday, was designed to
meet objections from Democrats
who wanted a minimum $70 mil-
lion in new state revenues before
they would go along with a pack-
age, Rep. Gilbert E. Bursley (R-
Ann Arbor) said.
Bursley added yesterday that
several Democrats have agreed to
support the new levies. The House,
which is split 56-54 in favor of the
Republicans has been unable to
pass any nuisance taxes and will
not until they are able to gain
Democratic support, Rep. Carroll
Newton (R-Delton), the assistant
majority House leader, has said.
Depends on Breweries
Newton explained that certain
Republican legislators whose dis-
trict borders other states or whose
districts depend economically on
breweries will not vote for added
cigarette or beer taxes. Thus a
certain amount of Democratic
support-up to 10 votes on some
levies-is needed, Newton said.
Includes Beer Tax
The tax program includes:
Two cents per bottle tacked on
to the beer tax to bring in $34
million, with half of that ear-
marked to education; two more
cents on the cigarette tax design-
ed to bring in $21 million; $8 mil-
lion to be brought in through a
levy on telephone and telegraph
services; a $7 million boost in
revenues from the liquor excise
tax; and a one mill boost in the
corporation franchise tax design-
ed to bring in $13-14 million.
The Senate has left the initia-
tive on taxation to the House since
the abortive attempt by Demo-
crats and Republican moderates
in the Senate to pass an income
tax.
Sen. Elmer R. Porter (R-Bliss-
field), chairman of the Senate Ap-
propriations Committee, has indi-
cated that there will be a $5 mil-
lion boost in the higher education
budget and a $2.5 million hike in
the mental health budget.

By MICHAEL OLINICK
Acting Editor
The University bent great ef-
forts this past year in interpret-
ing its, purposes to the general
public while continuing to reap-
praise internal problems, its
president said yesterday.
"The number one problem
externally was attempting to
increase the understanding of
the University's aims and gain-
ing support to achieve them,"
University President .Harlan
Hatcher said in an interview.
This concern was accompan-
ied by the growing expression
of parents' worries that their
children be guaranteed a qual-
ity education.
Come to Grips
"One of the fundamental
requirements of our society is
that the citizens must come to
grips with the question of fi-
nancing education. It is strange
to assume that we should con-
tinue to stultify the growth of
our universities while the rest
of the economy is moving ahead,
at a three per cent yearly rate
and is being urged to acceler-
ate."
The University, he admitted,
spent more time in wrestling
with the basic problem of gain-
ing proper support for its pro-
grams this year than in previ-
ous years-and with some hope-
ful results.
The president saw a great un-
derstanding of the University by
legislators and the lay public.
"The legislators have not de-
nied our need for added funds,

but are thwarted by the inabil-
ity to solve fiscal problems,
problems that are plaguing a
great number of states."
Tax Income
Preferring to see a solution
which would permit the states
to accommodate their tax in-
come to federal levies, Hatcher
noted that state governments
feel they have very little reve-
nue at their disposal after the
federal government collects its
taxes.
"The states should take care
of those things it can handle
best and education is one of
them. I fear we will only get
deeper in the dilemma in the
future, instead of solving it."
On the homefront, President
Hatcher noted that the "con-
tinued faith and dedication of
the faculty is remarkable."
Losses from the teaching and
research staffs reached only a
"natural" level.
Teaching Function
A great deal of "quiet prog-
ress" was accomplished in cur-
riculum, admission and the role
of the teaching function, despite
the handicap of not having an
assured budget.
The president said he was
impressed with the interest and
analyses of students regarding
the problems of the University.
"You can't go far without keep-
ing in contact with the stu-
dents," he said. "They display
a genuine attempt to study and
consider present policies."

study of the Office of Student

STUDENT MOVEMENT:
Peace Issue Involves Grinnell Students

By NAN ROBERTSON
New York Times News Analyst
No student who went to Grin-
nell College at Newton this year
will forget it.
It was the year in which an
issue involved almost every one
of the 1100 students on the Iowa
school's campus. The issue was

peace, and student action cul-
minated at the White House, more
than 1000 miles away.
Last November, 14 Grinnell

fast" in front of the White House.
One hundred others fasted for a
day on the campus. Almost half
the student body attended a chapel

Fauri Backs Aged Care
Uinder Social Security
Health insurance for the aged should be included in the social
security system, Dean Fedele F. Fauri of the social work scchool said
recently.
Speaking at the -89th annual forum of the National Conference
on Social Welfare in New York city, Fauri noted that "health protec-
tion to meeting rising hospital costs cannot be met exclusively by
private plans, because of the low income level and high cost of
health care for the aged."
Fauri, who is the retiring president of the conference, com-
mented that all alternatives to health insurance for the aged have
"shortcomings." He predicted that the "enactment of legislation

thought his institution will "be

it." He sees a complex campus
society made up of many differ-
ent groups to whose needs the
University must be constantly
alert.
Private Gifts
The campus did not expand
physical facilities much this
year, though work began on the
Physics-Astronomy Bldg. "Pri-
vate gifts and matching fed-
eral grants moved along at "a
very satisfactory rate" though
capital outlay from the state
was restrained to a trickle.
Speaking of the proposed
full year operation; President
Hatcher said that the Univer-
sity would continue to develop
a pattern which would permit
it to move to trimester at any
point.
If the trimester goes into ef-
fect, President Hatcher forsaw
a greater flexibility in instruc-
tion. "We are not driving stu-
dents into patterns; it will be
up to the student's own choice
entirely as to when he goes to
school, which semester he vaca-
tions and how long he decides
he wants to take to earn a di-
ploma."
The trimester might help to
resolve the current ambivalence
toward class attendance and
final examinations, open up
wider avenues of individual
study and, perhaps, "give stu-
dents a few more quiet hours
to pursue their own intellectual
interests beyond the classroom."

meeting to honor the Washington
contingent. Every student and
faculty member received daily bul-
letins about the group.
The trip inspired other stu-
dents from Iowa, Minnesota and
New England to go to the capital.
It swelled into the February dem-
onstrgrtion, sponsored by the Turn
Toward Peace Student Council.
Debated Issue
During a recent nation-wide
tour of college campuses, Grinnell
students and teachers were inter-
viewed about the rise of this re-
markable peace movement. The
student-body president called it
"overwhelmingly the most hotly
debated issue, involving the most
people, that anybody can remem-
ber."
Grinnell may seem an unlikely
place for a disarmament move-
ment. But any misconceptions an
outsider may have about the col-
lege's being out of the way and
untouched by the world are cor-
rected by two facts:

New Degree.
A new combined degree program
will be offered next fall to Uni-
versity engineering students in-
terested in working in fields. con-
cerned with high speed, water-
borne vehicles or ground effect
machines.
Students in the program will be
able to obtain Bachelor of Science
in Engineering degrees in both
naval architecture and aeronauti-
cal engineering by completing one
semester beyond that now required
for a single degree.
The University is one of only a
few schools in thecountry that of-
fers degrees in both fields, Prof.
Wilbur C. Nelson, chairman of the
aeronautical and astronautical en-
gineering department, and Prof.
Richard B. Couch, chairman of
marine engineering and naval ar-
chitecture department, noted when
they announced the new program.
The program was established be-
cause of the growing industrial
and governnient interest in such
new fields as underwater weapons
systems development and the de-
sign anddmanufacture of such ve-
hicles as the hydrofoil and ground
machines. (A hydrofoil is a craft
that moves through the water at
high s p e e d s on underwater
"wings.")
Both of these regular programs
include many courses which deal
essentially with the same mater-
ial, differing mainly in applica-
tion. These include such areas as
structures, propulsion, perform-
ance and control.

To Discuss Details
Of Inplementation
At Today's Meeting
By BARBARA LAZARUS
Acting Dean of Women Eliza-
beth Davenport indicated yester-
day that "the Office of Student
Affairs is working out details in
implementing the abolition of
senior hours in University hous-
ing."
"This probably means that the
new regulations on senior hours
could be implemented by next
fall," Mrs. Davenport said.
The recommendation for the
elimination of senior hours was
one of a number of proposals pre-
seated to the administration by
Woman's Judiciary Council in
April.
To Meet Today
Mrs. 'Davenport said that senior
hours and the remainder of the
proposals are being carefully dis-
cussed by the administration and
the chairman of Woman's Judic at
a meeting this morning.
The enacting of the new ruling
on senior hours in the dormitories
might call for additional staff per-
sonnel, she explained.
Asst. Dean of Women Elizabeth
Leslie said that "a sign-out system
of keys looks like the most feasible
way of implementing the system
in sorority houses."
Check Out Keys
A senior could check out a key
when she leaves in the evening
and return it after she comes in
at night. If the ke; should disap-
pear after the girl has returned
it, she would not be held respon-
sible for it," Mrs. Leslie explained.
"The sign-out system would in
no way be a check on the girl, but
could provide a check on the keys
for the welfare of the girls living
in the house."
Mrs. Leslie said that peer res-
sure within the house could give
the sorority a way of making sure
that the keys would not be mis-
used.
Will Be Self-Restricting
"Girls want to stay with their
sorority for three years when they
join, and if they have senior priv-
ileges, it will give them the oppor-
tunity to be self-restricting."
Ann McMillan, '63, president of
Panhellenic Association, said that
"the abolition of senior hours
could alleviate many of the prob-
lems caused by senior apartment
permissions and encourage girls
to remain in their houses."
Deborah Cowles, '62, past chair-
man of Woman's Judic, explained
that "if the recommendation on
senior hours is passed, it would be
another step in reflecting the level
of maturity and responsibility that
University women can obtain."
Barbara Portnoy, '63, chairman
of Women's Judic, said that "the
extended privileges for seniors if
passed, must be regarded as both
a privilege and a definite respon-
sibility."
The report submitted by Judic
also contained recommendations
for the extension of freshman
hours, an easing of overnight per-
missions for women in Ann Arbor
and a revision in sign-out and
late minute systems.

"For 52 years my vocation has been interfering with my avoca-

Retiring Dean Jaul H. Jeserich of the dentistry school was rem-

freshman in 1910 aiming for the Law School.
"I came from a school (Watervliet High) with only 43 students,"
he recalled. "There were nine in my graduating class, so the University
really seemed like a big place to me with 3,600 students. Now, with al-
most 25,000 students, it is small in retrospect. To me this is descrip-
tion enough of how the University has changed."
