LXXII, No. 40 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1961 SEVEN CENTS EIGHT PAGES Early egistration Starts ,For1j Limit- Plan To Beginning Class Level Set Spring Sections In Botany, Zoology, Other Requirements Pre-registration for literary col- lege students in some of the col- lege's overcrowded laboratory courses has begun. Courses primarily affected are Botany 101 and 102, Chemistry 222 and Zoology, 101, 252 and 282, George R. Anderson, assistant dean of the college announced yesterday. This early placement in some courses is a first step toward Uni- versity - wide pre - registration, planned for next fall's elections. The system is needed to cut out registration periods for year-round operations scheduled to begin in about three years. Ease Conditions The move, intended now to ease overloads at counseling desks in Waterman Gymnasium resulting from early closing of courses, will provide for students who elect their courses for the spring now to actually be placed in classes in the six courses affected. The only priority given will be on a first-come, first-served basis, Anderson said. Freshmen and pre-medical stu- dents have already received notice of the new system, and are signing up for counseling appointments already. Anderson - stressed the need for students to do this soon in order to be placed in the courses they want. Other Courses In addition to the six courses in which actual pre-registration is being used, there is a list of other courses which are usually plagued with over-enrollment problems. In these courses, close count will be kept of the numbers of students electing them, and coun- selors will be told when these num- bers near the total possible en- rollment. The counselors will then attempt to dissuade those electing courses later from choosing these overcrowded' ones. Lab Courses The worst overloading is found in laboratory sciences, officials indicate, because there is no flexi- bility in the number of students wthat can take a lab. In recitations and lectures, there is a certain amount of leeway, but in laboratories, new sections must be planned and new staff to teach them. Since only literary college stu- dents will be allowed to pre-regis- ter through their counseling offices, spaces in the courses involved will be saved for students from other colleges and schools. Based on Past 'The number of these will be de- termined on the basis of past en- rollment figures for the course. Anderson emphasized the possi- bility that courses would be closed to literary college students at, the regular registration time, how- ever, and said that students should come in for counseling now. Tentative time schedules are available in counseling offices now for students. Rising Costs Deter Women From College Too many high school girls are not goipg on. to college because of rising costs, a national higher edu- cation research organization re- ports. The joint research unit of the associations of land - grant and state universities found in a re- cent study that the number of men going to colleges has more than tripled in the last thirty years while the number of women has nnly ahnut dnhled ab Courses in LSA COLLEGE BOARDS: 'U' Freshmen Post High Exam Scores By MICHAEL OLINICK With a pat on the back for the past achievements of the class of '65, University officials and high school administrators last night sought means to clarify, strengthen and implement their "mutual responsibility to freshmen." Assistant Director of Admission Byron Groesbeck told partici- pants in the 33rd annual Principal-Freshman-Counselor Conference that the freshman class compiled " ~.~ Chicago Report Tells Graduate Career Plans By CAROLYN WINTER- "Seventy - seven per cent of America's June 1961 graduates ex- pect to attend graduate or profes- sional school sometime," a report issued by the University of Chi- cago's National Opinion Center states. However, only twenty per cent had been accepted for study in fall 1961 by spring 1961. Another 12.4 per cent still had intentions of continuing studies in the fall also, the report, entitled "Great Aspirations" said. It can be inferred, the report added,.that college seniors are fav- orably inclined toward postgradu- ate study since eighty-three per cent said they either planned to SGC Backs IQC Motion on Visitors By JUDITH OPPENHEIM The- recent Interquadrangle- Council proposal to allow non- freshmen women to visit in the quads won a note of approval from Student Government Council last night. The Council passed a motion by IQC President Thomas Moch, '62E, and Daily Editor John Rob- erts, '62,' supporting the measure and urging. the Residence Halls Board of Governors to approve and take immediate steps to im- plement it at itsNov. 13 meeting. The motion expresses (SGC doubt that rules discriminating against freshmen of either sex are educationally and philosophically defensible. Nevertheless, it says, the proposal by IQC "is an im- portant first step and SGC sup- ports it." Mandates President - The Council, in the motion also mandated the president to for- ward copies of this resolution to members of the Board of Gover- nors and the Study Committee on the Office of Student Affairs. Council Executive Vice-Presi- dent Per Hanson, '62, raised. an unsuccessful motion to delete the paragraph expressing doubt of the defensibility of discrimination against freshmen.I Robertsdeleted a paragraph originally in the motion which read, "SGC declares as a basd principle that complete and fin- al authority over rules and regu- lations in the living units ought to rest with the students themselves acting through their democratic- ally constituted student govern- ments." Suspends Rules A suspension of rules was nec- essary to act on the motion, which, as an expression of opinion would ordinarily have been voted on a week after its introduction. In committee of the whole dis- cussion proceeding the vote, David Croysdale, '62, protested the re- striction of visiting privileges to upper-class women. Assembly Association Presi- dent Sally Jo Sawyer, '62, said that by virtue of their newness to the campus, freshmen have certain unique problems. These problems are recognized in sev- eral rules pertaining solely to them. Such rules include an 11 p.m. closing hour for freshmen women and exclusion of freshmen women from the ruling permitting women to visit in men's apart- ments. Position Open On Committee attend or would like to attend postgraduate schools. High academic performance is strongly associated with plans for postgraduate education, as is sex. Women with equal ability to men in a specific career are less likely to plan further study. Different career fields show distinctive pat- terns for further study, such as would - be physicians continue studies immediately whereas people going into education may tend to continue their studies at a later time. Cites Influence Students from large cities are more likely to anticipate further study whereas students from low income families and Negro stu- dents are quite likely to postpone postgraduate study. Jews tend to be relatively high on intentions for further study, and Protestants are somewhat lower in intentions than Catholics, the report finds. "About half of the students not going on for advanced study next year say that financial obstacles played a part in their decision, al- though only eighteen per cent say finances are the 'major reason,, the report states. Further, students who cite finan- cial obstacles are quite likely to expect to go on for more studies at some later date. Change Choice Almost half of the sample report shifted their career choice since entering college. Forty-three per cent reported no change in plans, and the remaining ten per cent changed from no preference to a specific career. Physical science and technologi- cal fields related to physical sci- ence tend to lose students, other arts and science fields and the professions which use words rather than numbers tend to grow. Schools varied widely on the per cent of students they sent on to graduate work. There was also a variety in the careers favored in different schools, especially large diversity in the size of the education and engineering fields from school to school. Backgrounds Count Students aiming for careers in different fields differ considerably in family income, religion, home, town, personal values, and self- descriptions. "There is a tendency for students coming from high status families to go into- higher status occupations such as medi- cine and law while students from lower status families tend to go into careers such as engineering, education, accounting, and govern- ment which appear to be more, accessible avenues for social mo- bility," the report said. / "In general we. can say that individuals going into the sciences and engineering tend to be low on extroversion and sophistication while those going into fine arts, the humanities, law and com- munications tend to be high on both dimensions," the report added. Preliminary findings suggest, then, meaningful relationships ex- isting between social background and personality characteristics, on the one hand, and career choice on the 9ther. The data collected in this survey comes from questionnaires received from close to 34,000 seniors who graduated in the class of June 1961. "These constitute an un- biased sample of the June 1961 graduates," the report states. In general, the report asks: How many seniors plan to attend graduate school; what are the differences and characteristics of students; what role does college play in career decisions; and what are the social differences between students planning to enter var- ious career fields? Cuba Group Backs Speech The Committee for Improved Cuban - American Relations was sponsor of Frank Monico's Tues- day discussion on Cuba, not the Fair Play for Cuba Committee as reported in yesterday's Daily. Monico described Cuba as "one of the most socially-advanced na- tions in the world" and character- ized popular attitudes toward the Castro regime. outstanding scores on the College Board Aptitude and Achievement Tests. On the aptitude test which measures verbal and mathematical skills, 86 per cent of the fresh- men scored above 450 in verbal. Ninety-three per cent exceeded the figure in math. Top Quarter A score of 450 is equivalent to ranking in the top quarter among the nation's high school seniors, Groesbeck said. The exams are graded on a 600 point range with a maximum of 800. All freshmen must submit col- lege board scores before they re- ceive academic counseling and select their courses, though the scores are not at present used as admision criteria. Clyde Vroman, chief admissions officer for the' University, cited a growing recognition of the stu- dent's nonintellectual qualitiesas one of the "striking trends" hav- ing an impact on education today. Creativity Sketching out a "Guide for Ar- ticulation Between High Schools and the University," Vroman listed creativity, motivation, maturity and personal discipline as non- intellectual factors which are un- dergoing closer analysis. Such factors account, in part, for the nine per cent of the fresh- man class which will not be eligible' for a second year of University study. "One hundred per cent success in admissions is not pos- sible since not all students want to continue to be students." Vroman had 10 specific recom- mendations for the high school officials to use in increasing ar- ticulation with the campus. These included follow-up studies of the University success of their school's garduates, close contact with the admissions office, a "modern and efficient" method of compiling a student's record, increased study of accelerated and advanced placement programs, attention .to development of standardized tests, and the implementation of a "simple and practical" grading system. Match Students Vice-President for Student Af- fairs James A. Lewis insisted that "matching the student with the institution is the most important task" in counseling high school seniors for college." Describing the variouscounsel- ing programs for academic, reli- gious, residence and financial problems, Lewis pointed out that they . are staffed with people "anxious to help. The University, however, does not attempt to "foist" this help on any single student. "Counceling should be an aid to, not a substitute for, decisions made by the student himself." Prof. John Milholland outlined the slight progress that has been made in correlating the results of the college board scores. University Prepares Budget Background By ROBERT FARRELL When University administrators go to Lansing in the near future to try to convince the state authorities that the Univer- sity needs more money, they will bear with them 100 pages' of close-typed supporting data presenting the University's finan- cial situation. In most cases, the points made will not be new, but this document is probably the only place they can be found assem- bled in a readily available form. Faculty Salary Hike First and foremost, as last year, is the need for faculty salary increases. Then come needed funds for restoring plant maintenance and general administrative services to previous levels, for additional faculty and staff positions, for supplies and equipment to keep up with rising enrollments, for libraries, for faculty research and for admissions and registrations and records office and other student services. The $4.4 million asked for selective faculty salary increases must be appropriated if the University is to keep its high-quality faculty in spite of offers from other institutions, officials will tell budget bureau authorities. Averages Down This year, for-the first time in recent history, the Univer- sity's average faculty salaries dropped-with losses of the high- est-paid members at every level and an increase in total num- bers'helping to cause this. Resignations are running much higher this year than at any previous time in the University's history: offers to faculty members are exceeding their present pay by more and more. Average salaries at other top institutions in the country-in- cluding other Big Ten schools-are drawing ahead or further ahead of the University's. The attractiveness of outside jobs with industry or govern- ment is also becoming greater. Increases in the standard of liv- ing of most United States citizens are not reflected by Univer- sity faculty. Local Conditions Same Even taking various occupations average salaries in south- eastern Michigan, University raises are smaller, officials can point out. And to support the University's request for money to add to the faculty, administrators can cite the faculty-to-student ratio, which has been steadily climbing since 1957-58. Thirteen to one at that time, it is this year over 14:1. The University's request for additional faculty of $1.5 million would bring it down to.13.6:1. Literary College Needs The largest needs for more staff lie in the literary college and Dearborn Center (25 and 19 added personnel are desired, respectively). The Dearborn unit is still growing, and the literary college is the largest unit of the University. The faculty to student ratio in the literary college is about 19:1 this year. Officials can even point out that if the pre-set standard ra- tios were to be reached in the University, 358 more faculty mem- bers than are requested would be needed. Teaching Fellows The more than 20 per cent use of teaching fellows in an in- stitution where the enrollment is 70 .per cent on the junior level or above can also be criticized. And even the 20 per cent figure does not indicate the true situation-teaching fellows teach almost 30 per cent of all the classes at the University.

Presently, a provision in the city charter forbids the sale of liquor by the glass east of South Divi- sion and Detroit Streets. The group, headed by merchant William L. Carmon, plans to ask the support of the South Univer- sity Merchants Association and the Washtenaw Avenue Mer- chants.' Line Unreasonable The petition charges that "the dry line causes an unreasonable and discriminatory hardship upon some merchants and upon some citizens, which hardship can no longer be justified on the basis of the declared intention of this ar- chaic and outmoded legislation, the said rule becoming more ri- diculous with each new parcel that is added to the east and to the south of the city.s' Need Signatures City Clerk Fred J. Looker said that 1,438 signatures would be necessary to bring the issue to a vote. Ann Arborites voted last Nov. 8 to permit liquor by the glass in other areas of the city. Although the State Street Mer- chant's Association is not, spon- soring the petitions, the group has asked the City Council to stop is- suing liquorlicenses until after the April 1 election. The petition- adds tiat the average age of students, their, in- tellectual and emotional maturity "are much higher now than they were at the time this paternalistic legislation was enacted." BUS RIDERS NegroesJailed Despite Federal Se gregation Ban ATLANTA (M)-Police in Georgia and Mississippi arrested Negroes who tried to use interstate bus facilities yesterday despite a federal agency order banning segregation of passengers. Four Negroes were jailed in Atlanta and three in Jackson, Miss., as rules issued by the Interstate Commerce Commission against bus terminal segregation went into effect. ICC Chairman Everett Hutchinson said earlier in the week that federal court action could be expected if the commission's rulings are resisted and that criminal prosecutionmay be recommended. The ICC rules were requested by Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy. State officials in Georgia launched federal court action seeking to have the ICC rulings set aside. They contended the orders violate the rights of states to regulate. Asks. District Board. Plan For 'Michigan Universities LANSING (AP) - Separate governing bodies for Western and Eastern Michigan Universities and Northern Michigan College were proposed yesterday by the President of the constitutional conven- tion. Stephen S. Nisbet (R-Fremont) said his 18 years on the State Board of Education, which runs the four schools, convinced him that each should be separately governed. "There is too much work and not enough time for planning and policy," he said. "We have not been able to do a good job but I am amazed that we have done as well as we have." BAN: 'U' Professor Speaks T S The convention's committee on legislative reorganization heard a W University professor describe a o m e unicameral legislature as prefer- W om en 11 able to the two-house system. "But if the convention comes up with a unicameral system, its work will have been in vain," said Prof. Daniel bSMcHargue. "The people will never buy it, let's face it." intrastate commerce since bus sta-' tions are used by both intrastate and interstate passengers. Under the ICC ruling each bus and terminal must display signs stating that bus seats and station facilities are available to all trav- elers. A Shreveport, La., bus station manager, who refused Wednesday to remove such a sign, was charg- ed with violating Lousiana's segre- gation laws and placed under bond of $250. Shreveport officials said Tuesday the city would not comply with the ICC order. [cross Nation Hold Peace Vigil Grad Schools Unite To Form NationalGroup A Council of Graduate Schools of the United States to coordinate and advise graduate schools has been established and will meet in Washington, Dec. 14 and 15, Dean of the Graduate School Ralph A. Sawyer says. The council meets the' need for an organization to represent and aid all graduate schools. Previous organizations were either regional or represented limited segments of graduate education.

By CAROLINE DOW Approximately 80 Ann Arbor housewives and University students. joined women across the nation in vigils for peace yesterday. Gathering in front of the Washtenaw County Bldg., the women displayed banners enscribed "Peace is the Only Shelter" and joined in an hour of silent' meditation. During the hour, signatures were gathered for telegrams to President John F. Kennedy, asking that atmospheric testing not be resumed, and to Soviet'Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev, asking him to aid cessation of testing. Similar demonstrations in Washington, San Francisco, New York, Newark, Miami, Detroit, Syracuse, Ithaca, Albany, Schenectady and Auburn, N.Y. were reported by the' Associated Press. No formal or- ganizations were behind most of the vigils; the idea arose in the Washington home of Mrs. Dagmar Wilson, illustrator of children's books. "We felt we had to do something," she said.
