S Early M SU TD's 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 Stun Three Lost Fumbles, Interception Stall 'M' Ground, Aerial Offensive By MIKE BURNS Sports Editor Like biting finger nails and smoking, there are some hab- its you just can't break, Michigan found out yesterday.

MOCK ATOMIC WAR: Defense Drill Proves Successful Public Colleges Urged To End Student Fees. Public universities and colleges should charge their students little of no fees, the executive director 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." Addressing the association's 39th annual meeting in Lincoln, Neb., Chambers said selective awards only go to the top few per cent of students, but do not reach the other "millions of oncoming youth Wolverines- 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."

Michigan put up a game fight in the second half, launching a 63-yd. drive to' the Spartan one, but there the attack was stym- ied. The Wolverines picked up 101 yds. as compared to State's 105 in the second half and yielded only a single touchdown, early in the last, quarter. State picked up 295 yds. total to Michigan's 176. Hamtramck sophomore half- back Dewey Lincoln was the lead- ing ground-gainer for the East Lansing visitors, grinding out 60 yds. on seven tries. George Saimes was the workhorse of the game with 16 carries and 57 total yds. plus a touchdown. Fumbles played a key role in the Wolverine defeat, as they lost the ball three times via bobbles. See MSU, page 6 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. r" ;+EfN"' .ai. a+:+'-". r"Y.-.BFi?..-k. .J~ en"".?:.;u :4 v ~ ;:.:":? dv: ?":":?"i:???^:^:^:::"F.?:,g:%."'.":??
