MONEY, PRESTIGE:
By ROBERT FARRELL
Insufficient funds, the possibil-
ity of dropping prestige, faculty
discontent and "crystal-ball" ap-
propriations techniques were list-
ed as major University problems'
by a panel of state and University
officials yesterday.
Vice-President and Dean of Fac-
ulties Marvin L. Niehuss cited the
necessity of added finances to
provide for University, expansion
needed to keep pace with the rest
of the nation's and world's insti-
tutions of higher education:
Without the needed funds, he
pointed out, the University does
not grow. And without growth, it
loses its reputation and its fac-
ulty.
Attacks Appropriations
Rep. Charles A. Boyer (R-Man-
istee) attacked the, appropriations
committees of the state Legisla-
ture as using "crystal-ball" tech-
niques to determine Michigan's
appropriations to its colleges and
universities.
Niehuss and Boyer, chairman of
the Legislature's Interim Commit-
tee on Higher Education, agreed.
that the state's institutions all
shared the problems of finances,
and that to better the situation,
the Legislature would have to pass
new measures to obtain revenue.
The four-year old. Russell Re-
Sport on Higher Education, a doc-
ument commissioned by and sub-
mitted to the Legislature, was a
"grandiose waste of money," since,
it is not used, Boyer said.
-- Lies on Shelf
He accused his fellow legisla-
tors, even those on the appropria-
tions committees, of putting the
thirteen-volume study on the
shelf and never-using it to find a
"scientific, systematic way of ap-
propriating funds for state uni-
versities."
ISA Cancels Syrian Talk
After Arab Group Protests
By GERALD STORCH
International Students Association has canceled a proposed sem-
inar on the crisis in Syria after a protest from the Arab Students Club.
The Arabs' resolution stated that "it is premature and indeed
harmful to find that ISA is exploiting the Syrian situation under the
pretense of academic discussion. Any talk about such a topic will be
armchair speculation and may be misleading information."
Planned Seminar
The cultural committee of ISA had planned to invite two students
and two professors from the political science department for the sem-
dinar, ISA Vice-President . Jack
roblems
The University came in for at-
tack also, however, when Boyer
told the assembled alumni from
the Devel'opment Council, for
whom the panel was held, that
they had better look to poor pub-
lic relations to explain many of
their problems.
The administration needs to pay
more attention to creating a good
public image, Boyer said. There is
just no concern among the legis-
lators constituents--even those
whose sons and daughters go to
state institutions-for the plight
of the higher education system.
Niehuss pointed up the problem
of faculty losses by saying that
for the first time in many years,
the University's average faculty
salary was lower this year than
last.
Twenty-three per cent of the
teaching staff is now made up of
teaching fellows from the gradu-
ate school. Niehuss said. Although
the University. certainly has no
objections to the use of teaching
fellows, it would not be employing
23 per cent of them if it had its
way, he said.
Dropping Behind
Many faculty, particularly the
younger men-those onrwhom the
University counts to replace its
retiring professors, are beginning
to get the feeling that the Univer-
sity is "losing the race," Niehuss
said.
This is even more true of the
younger faculty because they have
not been here long enough to see
the University recover from other
poor years, he explained.
Commenting on the extremely
tight budgets since 1957, Niehuss
remarked that: "If you want low'
cost teaching-we've got it. If
this is educational efficiency, the
University ranks extremely high."
Niehuss pointed out that many
of the problems of financing are
not manufactured by the Legisla-
ture, but must be met by it.
Hatcher Says
'U' Must .Plan
For Quality'
The "naked shock of vast num-
bers" of oncoming students and
the mounting 'mass of knowledge
and skills to be mastered must not
undermine the quality of the Uni-
versity, President Harlan Hatcher
said Friday night.
"But the careful planning now
going steadily forward in this
period of slackened state finances
will continue to transform the
campus and.bring it into harmon-
ious oneness with the University's

Like biting finger nails and smoking, there are some hab-
its you just can't break, Michigan found out yesterday.
Heralded as the team that could beat Michigan State,
the 1961 version found the going rougher than the five pre-
vious winless years as the Spartans plowed, passed and sped
to a devastating 28-0 victory. The last time the Blue won the
annual rivalry was in 1955.

haven't got it and Michigan clearly did not have it as the.

Urged To End
Student Fees.
Public universities and colleges

of the Michigan Council of State
College Presidents said yesterday.
Merritt M. Chambers, a former
University professor, told the As-
sociation of Governing Boards of
State Universities and Allied In-
stitutions that scholarships served
certain useful purposes, but "did
not promise much by way of get-
ting competent people into col-
lege who would otherwise not be
there."

annual meeting in Lincoln, Neb.,
Chambers said selective awards

Maier, '63, explained yesterday..
However, the Arabs' complaint
was more than an attempt to
stifle discussion. The objections
seem' to be reasonable because all
the facts about the Syrian situa-
tion are not known at present, he
explained.
"The purpose of ISA is to create
friendship. Political discussions
are a part of this process, but
discussions at the expense of cer-
tain groups -break up harmony."
Await Developments
ISA president Anees Jung, Grad,
said that the association would
wait to see what further happens
in Syria before attempting to set
up another similar panel.
"ISA is not here to antagonize
any club," she said. "There are
many other topics worthy of dis-
-ussion."

Strike, Action
OAK RIDGE P) - President.
John F. Kennedy intervened last
night to prevent a major strike
at one of the nation's key atomic
plants, the top-secret Y-12 pro-
ject here. He wired union and
management officials negotiating
for a new contract asking them
to postpone for 10 days any strike
action at the present three-year
contract's midnight expiration.
The negotiations during the 10-
day period will be handled by the
Federal Mediation and Concilia-
tion service.
If a settlement is not reached
in that time, the President asked
that the negotiations be turned
over to the Atomic Energy Labor-
Management Relations Panel for
arbitration.
Both the Atomic Trades and
Labor Council, which represents
3,200 employes at the Y-12 plant
and the Union Carbide Nuclear
Co., agreed to the President's
terms, averting the walkout.
