The Regents are the governing body of the institution. Two are Full-Year Calendar Planned (Continued from Page 1) had decided "in principle" to move to a year-round operation. changes also came from the Uni- The eight-man group, however, pledged an "objective inquiry" and studied the present calendar, the necessity for changing it, and pos- sible alternative calendars. Endorsement for the proposed changes also came from the Uni- versity Senate Advisory Committee which called it "judicious and commendable." The endorsement came at a special faculty senate meeting called by President Hat- cher to discuss the proposals. The full Senate, however, never took action. Student Government Council met with Prof. William Haber of the economics department, and Prof. William Spurr of the natural resources school, to discuss rami- fications of the academic calen- dar. The two professors were chairman and executive secretary, respectively, of the faculty com- mission. SGC did not vote on ap- proving the changes. The main concerns about imple- menting the new plan were eco- nomic ones. Regent Eugene B. Power said the calendar could not come into existence if the Legis- lature did not increase the Uni- versity's budget appreciably. On a slightly different economic note were the concerns of faculty members that they would be forced to teach all-year round, keeping their present salary and losing time to do research, write or travel. President Hatcher assured the faculty that no one would be re- quired to teach all year long, but that young faculty members (whose children would be in pub= lic school through June) might want to teach during the summer session. The new calendar is expected to call attention to revising the effectiveness of present instruc- tion. Prof. Haber sees a step toward more independent work and "re- sponsible self-development" by the students.

In the case of resignation or death of. one of the members, the Governor appoints a substitute for the re- mainder of the term. The Regents currently include Otto.E. Eckert of Lansing, Charles- S. Kennedy of Detroit, Carl F. Matthaei of Ann Arbor, William K. McInally of Jackson, Eugene B. Power of Ann Arbor, Carl Brablec of Roseville, Irene E. Murphy of' Birmingham and Donald Thurber' of Grosse Pointe. Two Retire Regents Eckert and Kennedy will retire in December, when their terms expire. Allen Sorenson of Midland and Paul Goebel of Grand Rapids will replace them, having been elected in the spring ballot. Ex-officio members of the board are University President Harlan Hatcher and Lynn B. Bartlett, State Superintendent of Public In-. struction. U Faculty Form Body Organized faculty power on cam- pus stems from the University Senate; an advisory board created by the Regents to aid in decision making. The Senate-made up of all members of the professorial staff, the executive and central adminis- trators and the deans of the vari- ous schools and colleges-is au- thorized to ,make decisions consti- tuting the 'bnding action of the faculty. It may discuss any matter of University interest, appoint committees and file formal recom- mendations. Guiding the Senate is its Ad- visory Committee on University Affairs, headed this year by Prof. Charles Sawyer of the history of art department. The SAC hears reports from the Senate's standing and special committees and trans- mits them to the full Senate with recommendations for action. Committees have been estab- lished on faculty excellence, stu- dent relations, economic status of the faculty, and University obli- gations to the state and the com- munity. The authority of the Regents is conferred on them by the state Constitution. The Regents also have the power to elect a president of the University, which they have done eight times to date. The day-to-day activities of the University are conducted by Presi- dent Hatcher and his executive-of- ficers, although final approval on all matters rests with the Regents. Make Recommendations All recommendations in the aca- demic area originate within the various schools and colleges and are referred to the president and the Regents by the dean of each unit. Vice - President and Dean of Faculties Marvin L. Niehuss is re- sponsible for all instructional and research programs and is the Uni- versity'p chief officer in the ab- sence of the president. Administrative Dean Robert Williams works closely with Nie- huss in the area of budget admin- istration of teaching and research units. Directs Finance Vice-President in charge of Business and Finance Wilbur K. Pierpont directs all the business and financial affairs of the Uni- versity, including plant expansion and maintenance. Problems of non-academic personnel, also are his responsibility. John McKevitt, assistant to Pierpont, aids in plan- ning the University's building pro- grams. Coordination of all student af- fairs outside the academic area is the responsibility of Vice-Presi- dent for Student Affairs James A. Lewis. Offices of Dean of Men Walter B.

Two of the faculty group's other recommendations - implementa- tion of the Regents' bylaw on dis- crimination and a review of stu- dent housing arrangements-Lewis has assumed as a "special respon- sibility of the vice-president." Orderly Grievances Their recommendation for the establishment of an. orderly griev- ance mechanism for students will be discussed with SGC. Among the student relations committee's other recommenda- tions were: clarification of the re- lationship of the student affairs office to other University agencies and adoption of the thesis that "the general educational respdnsi- bility of the University rests ulti- mately with the faculty." The committee undertook its study late in February after re- ceiving a documented protest about the orientation and practices of Dean of Women"Deborah Bacon and her office from a group of students. (The 1960-61 Daily senior staff was the nucleus of the group which also included James Seder, '61, Mary Wheeler, '61, and Barton Burkhalter, '62, of the SGC Hu- man Relations Board.)
