WE HAVE based our evaluation on five qualities we con.

knowledge; experience in student affairs; handling of present
issues and formulation of new ones; a broad and optimistic
interpretation of the Council's potential, and clarity and vigor
of expression.

Independent Study
By MICHAEL OLINICK
Broader opportunities for independent study and research will
be accorded to outstanding undergraduate students beginning next
fall, Prof. Otto Graf, chairman of the literary college Honors
Council, indicated yesterday.
The Honors Council plans to submit requests for funds from
the Undergraduate Science. Education Program of the National
Science foundation to support the new projects in a variety of
disciplines. The mathematics department will get an early jump
.with a request that would cover
the summer of 1962, department
chairman, Prof. George E. Hay said
last night.
Advance Understanding
The NSF program is aimed at
"developing new and expanded
means for able undergraduates to
advance in their understanding of
science and in their ability to em-
ploy investigative procedures."
The government-sponsored plan
i went through an experimental
period last year, Prof. Graf ex-
plained, and is now being extended
and expanded to cover the math-
ematical, physical, medical and
biological sciences.
Opportunities will also be open
in anthropology, sociology, geo-
9 graphy, psychology, economics,
history and philosophy of science
as well as in such interdisciplinary
fields as biochemestry, geophysics,
statistics and meteorology.

The officials said the report was

DEADLINE:
Student Move
Gets- Support
From Hannah
By DAVID MARCUS
Terming the move an "empty
victory," Michigan State Univer-
sity President John A. Hannah
said last night that he would back
MSU's student government "right
down the line" on its proposed
deadline for the removal of af-
filiate bias clauses.
The motion was passed by the
MSU Faculty Student Affairs
Committee last week, after ap-
proval last spring from Student
Congress. It will go before the
Board of Trustees Nov. 17.
It sets a September 1962 dead-
line for the removal of all bias,
clauses with the possibility of one
extension.
May Not Change
"The removal of these clauses
doesn't necessarily mean that once
it is out of the charters these
Rgroups will change their prac-
tices," he said.
The regulation only applies to
formal bias clauses although if
a chapter on the MSU campus
were suspended or interefered with
by the national for pledging some-
one because of his race or religion,
"we wouldn't stand for that here."
He called the action, "appropri-
ate for students if this is the way
they feel about it.
Must Obey Rules
"I think that these organiza-
tions must submit to University
regulations. They are University.

Prof. Hay noted a trend in re-
cent years towards more inde-
pendent work on the part of un-
dergraduate students. "This pro-
gram is one step in this direction
and is a good one."
Participation in the program
will not be restricted to students
in the Honors Program, but those
interested in it must gain depart-
mentalNrecommendation.
The NSF program does not at
present contain any provision for
academic credit, but this may be
worked out by each department.
The initial request will be for
a grant to cover a three year
period.

subtle things as shortening of the
life span, or .some form of minor
weakness or unfitness, to birth of
grotesque mutations.
It is the consensus of scientific
opinion that exposure to radiation
from fallout causes genetic
changes which run about 1,000 on
the harmful side to one on the
good side, he said.
There is no agreement, however,
on whether such exposure will
cause additional cases of leukemia
or other somatic changes.
He emphasized that fallout
radiation at recently recorded or
even higher levels will affect very
few people.

spaced columns of figures show the
last fiscal year's total budget up
from $100.7 million' to $109.2 mil-
lion, an increase of some eight
and one half per cent.
Salaries and wages in the in-
structions and research fields-
including those paid on sponsored
research contracts-were up from
$44.0 to 48.5 million, a 10 per
cent rise, 'one-and-one-half per
cent more than the overall in-
crease.
Hike Faculty Pay
Only $1.07 million of this $4.5
million hike was actually given as
increases to faculty members out
of the general funds of the Uni-
versity.
The remainder was either mon-
ey for additions to fringe benefits
(retirement and similar funds) or
came from contract research or
other restricted funds.
The general funds come essen-
tially from student fees and the
legislative appropriation, and were
up from $44.1 to $47.2 million.x
Research Leads Rise
On the income side, research
funds led the rise with an increase
from $25.4 million to $3005 mil-
lion.
Also major was the increase in
student fees due to the tuition
boost last fall-totals going from
$9.4 to $11.3 million, with out-of-
state fees rising from 54 to 55.5
per cent of the tuition fee income.
Almost all the schools and col-
leges differed notably from the
average budget rises.
Expenses Go Up
The literary college expenses
went up six per cent, led by in-
creases of more than 100 per cent
in the Near Eastern and{ Far
Eastern studies departments. The
Slavic languages and literatures
department-within which Rus-
sian studies are found-also rose
markedly (some 55 per cent).
The engineering college rose
some 11 per cent, the Medical
School 10. These units have the
second and third largest total bud-
gets in the schools and colleges.
The dentistry school had a rise
of eight per cent, almost equal to
the average.
The education school budget de-
creased some 16 per cent, pri-
marily due to losses in restricted
income from grants and such aid.
Set Speakers
Fnr A qrPmhl 'I

The architecture and design col-
lege and Law School each rose
only one per cent. Each of them
has a small total budget in com-
parison with the literary college
and medical school, the two larg-
est University units.
Rises between one-and-one-half
and five per cent were reported in
the music, natural resources, phar-
macy, public health and social
work schools.
The two largest rises, 12 and 13
per cent, respectively, were found
in the nursing and business ad-
ministration schools.
Student aid rose faster than
the total budget, going up 10 per
cent, while student loan totals
rose only one per cent.
Co urt Rejects
Censor ,Statute
WASHINGTON (P)-The Su-
preme Court yesterday let stand
a decision that Pennsylvania's
1959 movie censorship law is un-
constitutional.
The one-line order denying an
appeal, without comment, accept-
ed the Pennsylvania Supreme
Court's ruling that the statute
violates freedom of speech and
press and due process of law.
The Pennsylvania tribunal had
made a major point that such a
censorship law providing stiff
criminal penalties violated the
right of trial by jury.
