The Institute of Science and Technology faces a challenge grows directly out of the state's need for a broader industrial IST is unique in this respect, for unlike other large univ sponsored research programs, it is attempting to serve a dual pu While recognizing the importance of its state-wide "mission, Institute is also attempting to operate as a truly integrated part University. The Instiue represents the merging of what were formerl separate University organizations, the original Institute of Scien Technology, established under the 1959 state legislative appropri and the Willow Run Laboratories, the center of large-scale re, conducted by the University since World War II. Original Appropriation The initial $500,000 appropriation from the state did little than .set up a "paper" organization. With no laboroatories an full-time research personnel, the original Institute spent its largely on a lecture series, scholarships and fellowships, a vi scientists program, and support of University faculty on release research at IST. When the Willow Run complex was brought under the In. in 1960, the 50-person staff absorbed a force of 600. Operating a current annual budget of almost $10 million, the amount of av space and facilities, and the variety and size of research .pr present an enormous potential for both the University and the st IST works not only with the University but also with the state schools.

Prof. Moore of the natural science school told an assembly Farm Bureau last month that MSU was teaching a predomir Challenge for Broad Industrial Base IST officials note an increasing interest in the Ann Arbor area among industrial personnel. It is important that the Institute keep cultivating he "delicate climate" necessary to the growth of industry in this area. While the University is in itself an extremely attractive drawing card, value of the work of the IST in this particular endeavor cannot be overestimated. The Institute is involved in both basic and applied research. In attempting to solve broad functional problems, basic, theoretical studies are frequently intrinsic parts of a practical program. Government Contracts Of the dearly $10 million which the Institute spends per year, $9 million is brought in by contracts with the government and private business and $900,000 is appropriated by the state. The contracts received by IST are overwhelmingly sponsored by the government. No more than four per cent of the annual contract moneys is brought in from private industry. Industries come to the Institute when they are in need of special help to solve a particular problem. These contracts, rarely averaging over $15,000 apiece, do little more than support the work of one professor. JST is currently negotiating with approximately 50 such private.industrial sources. However, in the end, the Institute is tied to governmental support, of which more than 75 per cent comes from the Defense Department. In view of this fact it is not unusual to find that more than half of the work done by IST is classified information. Classified Work There are both desirable and undesirable features to this vast amount of classified work. While often a nuisance in an institution where the free dissemination of information ought to be a primary goal, University scientists are brought into contact with information which they could not otherwise know. At the present time IST is working with about 45 cost-reimburse- ment contracts, one of which, Project MICHIGAN, is currently operating at a $4 million a year rate. This project, which partially represents the nation's research effort for advancing the Army's long- term capability in combat surveillance and target acquisition, has had a total funding of over $40 million during its nine years of University sponsorship. National Centers For the Defense Department, IST is now operating three national centers of information and analysis: in infrared technology, in the detection of underground nuclear explosions and earthquakes, and in the basic radiation phenomena of missiles. Sponsored research done by the Institute is not solely confined to solid-state physics and the mathematics of data processing. The Insti- tute recently completed a flight measurement program in Greenland and several others in Arizona. Currently sponsoring research at Cape Canaveral on underground measurements of earthquakes, it intends to send men to the Philippines, to Turkey, Chile, Japan and New Guinea for similar experimentation. But sponsored research does not provide all the necessary capabili- ties for a thorough, encompassing research program. The state pro- gram, although small, provides for the accomplishment of many important things for which other support cannot be obtained. Research Programs Selected research programs in areas particularly promising to the state's future and private research, incompatible with the interests of specific sponsoring agencies result from the state capital. There are three types of people working for the Institute: Under- graduate and graduate students, educators, and a full-time professional research staff.. It is the hope of the Institute that many of the 150 graduate students from the University and elsewhere who are currently employed on a part-time basis will stay on to teach or do research in the state after receiving their masters' and doctors' degrees. Therefore the pre- and post-doctoral scholarship and fellowship program is an important feature of IST's functions. Several members of the teaching faculty are actively engaged in both the sponsored-research program and the state-sponsored program of the Institute. A number of them are being supported by the funds which IST gets from the state so that they are able to take time out from their teaching schedules and devote concentrated periods of research to the Institute. The Institute's Visiting Scientists Program attempts to attract exceptionally qualified scientists from all over the world. Some come for short periods of time and lecture and give consultations. Others stay for months and actually do research at the University. While there are only a few visiting scientists at the Institute at present, officials hope that an increase in state appropriations will enable them to expand their program and obtain other scientists of the highest caliber. Full-Time Staff The third group of scientists working wth the Institute is its full-time professional staff of 275 member~s. More than half have either masters' or doctors' degrees. The Institute is sold on organized research. While it is currently conducting only 40 of the University's 800 research projects, it has contracted almost one-third of the total dollar volume on University research. The value of its support of young scientists, aid to industry throughout the state, work for the federal government, and service to the University like that of research, itself, is difficult to discern and is largely seen only in retrospect. In New England and in the Far West vast complexes of industrial research and research-based industry have sprung up. The Middle West has an enormous potential for equally fine industrial research, and given time, and increased state support, IST may be the spring- board for such a development in Michigan. :Yi e B4 ia :436att Seventy-One Years of Editorial Freedom VOL. LXXII, No. 67 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1961 SEVEN CENTS EIGHT PAGES JOHN HANNAH _ ..denies charge MSU-0 Faces' Faculty Rift On Objectives The faculty of Michigan State University - Oakland is reportedly split over whether the school is a community college for Oakland and Macomb counties or a school for qualified students from all over Michigan and the United States. Unable to solve the problem, the administration heightened it by dissolving the Faculty Senate a year ago after a five-hour debate on the goals of the university. The split was revealed when the university said it would not renew the contract of Justus R. Pearson, Jr. of the English department. Pearson believes he antagonized the administration by attempting to promote new methods in langu- age instruction. He says he knows of four faculty members not re- turning next year and of contracts for at least two others which will not be renewed. ~&ocialist doctrine, that conservative faculty ,are discriminated against and that the student 'newspaper, the State News, was predominantly a medium for liberal or Socialist propaganda. Moore replied to Hannah in an open letter to the Farm Bureau charging intimidation and intent to muzzle his remarks by the ad- ministration. The farm bureau is an important alumni and lobby group for MSU. Hannah then commented to the State Journal and Moore retaliated with a news release Wednesday. Hannah referred the affair offi- cially to the faculty as Moore's charges challenged the faculty and the "educational integrity" of the university._ The review board which will consider Prof. Moore's action is composed of all faculty on the Academic Council, a board of 13 deans, administrators and 5 elected faculty. They will review the actions of Prof. Moore and set precedent for any future cases. They have the power to take action. In the State Journal, Hannah said "It is difficult for a university to protect itself when people in its employ are out to crucify'the insti- tution." In the press release, Prof. Moore accused Hannah of attack- ing him personally before the Farm Bureau. Prof. Moore said "It is very difficult for me to speak out against these attacks. What they recently did to Prof. Charles Rog- ers-another conservative-is still in my mind." (Rogers was demoted last summer for charging the MSU Bureau of Labor and Industriall Relations was slanted to the labor position.) In an interview yesterday, Prof. Moore cited instances of the lack of conservative influence in the school and said he "was concerned about the events that are trans- piring." "I disagree with the administra- tion on thesis of 'open society'. It is my position that a free society cannot be an open society except only at the risk of destroying our heritage. Socialism should not be taught." But for holding that theory Prof. Moore did not think that he should be "publicly smeared as thinking there is a Communist behind every bush." Dominican Government Rejects Plan SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic W)-The government of President Joaquin Balaguer re- jected last night the latest opposi- tion plan to settle the Dominican political crisis. It was the second such rejec- tion by Balaguer, a holdover from the Trujillo era, within a week, and came on the 10th day of a paralyzing general strike aimed at forcing him to resign. Earlier in the day huge crowds jammed into the main streets of Santo Domingo following reports that the opposition had won its victory in the crisis with an agreement under which Balaguer would step down. But after a 21/2-hour meeting between Balaguer and top con- gressmen and military chiefs, the government rejected- the opposi- tion formula as "inadmissable." The nation's military hierarchy went to the national palace led by air force Gen. Pedro Rodri- guez Echavarria. Belaguer last month made him the general sec- retary for armed forces, putting him in direct succession behind the president. Union Board Votes To Seek Canopy Bids- The Michigan Union Board of Directors last night authorized the seeking of bids for architectur- al plans for a $10,000 canopy to be erected over the north entrance of the Union. The cantalever structure, high enougth to shelter a bus, is design- ed to protect persons entering and leaving vehicles by that entrance from snow and rain. The basic de- sign also calls for enclosing the east wall with glass in winter, Donald C. May of the Board's finance committee said. First suggested by University President Harlan H. Hatcher, the designing of the structure is be- ing coordinated with the Univer- sity architect's office. PANHEL DECIDES: To Adopt No Policy on Apartment Permission By DENISE WACKER The Panhellenic Association President's Council yesterday passed a motion stating that no policy should be adopted by Panhellenic pro- hibiting senior affiliates from having automatic apartment permission. The vote came after surveys were taken at every house to get the opinions of the individual sorority women on the issue. Last week the motion was brought to the floor of the President's Council and tabled Faxon Suggests Giving Offers EMU Plan Also Repo rt Split du President John F. Kennedy has had his first falling out with the nation's labor press, a University research team reported recently. The President's call for a bal- anced budget in 1963 brought his first major break with the union newspapers, the Bureau of Indus- trial Relations discovered. The major union publications -- The Federation News, the AFL-CIO News and the UAW-Solidarity (Michigan edition)-published re- ports of sharply critical statements by union chiefs of Kennedy's or- der for a balanced budget. While the criticism was not limited to these three newspapers, they are among "the most influ- ential in sensing labor's voice since they are the organs for the top leadership of the labor move- ment," the researchers said. "Local union papers often ob- tain their editorial guides-and sometimes the copy for their lo- cal issues-from the national la- bor papers. Thus, within two months or so it may well be ex- pected that the 75 million read- ers of labor union periodicals in this country will have been ex- posed to a heavy amount of offi- cial opinion critical of Kennedy. Both AFL-CIO President George Meany and UAW chief Walter Reuther showed sharp concern over possible implications of the balanced budget. Meany expressed concern over the impact of a balanced budget on unemployment and predicted a possible jobless level of 5.5 per cent at the beginning of the 1963 fiscal year. so that the women could have more time for "careful considera- tion of the problem." "This was the kind of issue that could have gone either way-this -is, there were merits to be seen in both setting a policy or in not setting one," Panhellenic President Susan Stillerman, '62A&D said. Good for Panhellenic, "I feel this vote was good for Panhellenic insofar as it allows the individual house and member to make the final decision. If this does not'work in future years, the issue should be brought up again," Miss Stillerman said. Assistant Dean of Women Eliza- beth Leslie, who observed the meeting, was asked how the Office of the Dean of Women would han- dle apartment permission for affili- ates. In previous years it has been considerably more difficult for sorority women to be granted apartment permission than inde- pendents. "The idea that the dean's office is overly strict with sorority wom- en is a wrong idea. We have been strict, but this was because sorority houses asked for this. We grant apartment permission on financial basis," she said. "This is the first opportunity for you to prove your strength as sorority women-if your strength fails, maybe your sororities will die-and perhaps in these circum- stances they should. "Once it (the sorority system) starts going downhill, God help you," Dean Leslie concluded. Hatcher Asks More Support For Midwest Support for education and re- search is essential to the rebirth of the Midwest as a center of in- dustry, University President Har- lan Hatcher told 300 Michigan bankers yesterday. President Hatcher pointed out the "modern marriage" of research and industry and emphasized ln- dustry's pursuit of research facili- ties to East and West Coast col- leges. Hatcher told the 23rd annual Bank Study Conference of the Michigan Bankers' Associated that "it is necessary to limit this move to the coasts and to build up the Midwest." He indicated that an increase in education and research facilities would help draw indus- try to the Midwest and Michigan. drawing new industry here has been limited by the obsolescence of some of its facilities, he savi. i Monteux Views Modern Music LONDON OP)--At 86, Pierre Monteux looked back over the music of recent decades and said somewhat sadly that Stra- vinsky is the only modern com- Monteux, an American citi- zen, has a home in Hancock, Maine. He formerly conducted the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, the Boston Sympho- ny, the New York Metropolitan Opera and other American mu- sical groups. He is taking over as chief conductor of the Lon- don Symphony Orchestra, In the years before the First World War he premiered many new works of Debussy and Rav- el. He was their friend. Never- theless, he says: "Probably one or two works of Debussy and of Ravel will live. But when I play - their w6rks so many times, I see how they worked it. "You should not see the work when you hear it." Monteux said the greatest violinist he ever heard was Fritz Kreisler, now living in America but retired. Among those playing today he .said he likes Jascha Heifitz best.. He also likes Isaac Stern, an- other American; the Russians, David and Igor Oistrakh, fath- er and son; Nathan Milstein, American; and Zino Frances- catti of France. PIERRE MONTEUX .. . retrospect SU Rule to Regents, Seeks Union. For. Others Under MSU Con-Con Delegate Urges Simplification Of Education Set-Up My MICHAEL HARRAH Constitutional Convention dele- gate Jack Faxon (D-Detroit) will soon propose to the convention that the Wayne State University Board of Governors be erased and WSU placed under the constitu- tional jurisdiction of the Regents. The con-con yesterday received Faxon's proposal to place Eastern Michigan University at Ypsilanti under the Regents also. Faxon said yesterday that he would also propose that Central Michigan University at Mt. Pleas- ant, Western Michigan University at Kalamazoo, and Ferris Institute at Big Rapids be placed under the jurisdiction of the Michigan State University Board of Trustees, and that a new board of governors be created for "upper peninsula insti- tutions." Such a board would presently encompass Northern Michigan College at Marquette and Michigan Institute of Mining and Technol- ogy at Houghton. Asks Committee He said that all the boards would be put together, along with an eight-member State Board of Edu- cation, under a coordinating com- mittee for higher education, simi- lar to that recently proposed by state AFL-CIO President August Scholle. Faxon said he saw his proposal as a compromise position between the two extremes: one over-all board or one board for each separ- ate school. 'Keep Situation Simple' "Many of my colleagues feel there is a trend toward many separate boards," he said. "But I feel we must keep the situation simple, so it won't be hard for the people to understand." His EMU proposal would "give the Regents the direction and con- trol of all expenditures from the University funds and from EMU funds." The others would be simi- lar. All proposals will be referred to Alvin M. Bentley's (R-Owosso) Committee on Education. Educators at the various insti- tutions declined to speculate as yet on the possibilities of the proposal, but Faxon was optimistic. He said that he had discussed the matter poser whose music will live. And then, only perhaps. , "I don't see anyone, except perhaps Stravinsky -- some works of his," the conductor told a reporter. "Prokofiev: I don't think so. Shostakovitch: not. "Berg: he will be finished in 10 years. Hinemith: no inspira- tion . . . He will not live. Bat- tok: I give him 10.years. "Mahler: he will not live. He's not a creator. He's an imi- tator." Monteux knew Brahms 70, years ago and was a student of Cesar Franck. On modern music he observ- ed: "I see how it has been writ- ten. I see what is in the inter- ior of the works of all these composers. They have just a little inspiration in one bar of music and then they develop it. They. have technique and technique and technique-and that's not interesting." I ARE WE AFRAID? MarkeyDiscusses Cold War Position By'NEIL COSSMAN Complacent Americans must be- come more vocal and resolute about freedom if they are to pre- serve it, Brig. Gen. Howard T. Markey said last night in a taik called "Are We Afraid?" sponsored by the air science department. Gen. Markey offered two reasons for America's declining position in the cold war. "We are not trying to win and we appear afraid," he said. "For the first time in history, with Moscow, Gen. Markey at- tributed their policy of "backing away from the enemy" to the fact that "they want peace." He chal- lenged Americans, most of whom he feels want "both peace and freedom," to state their position as strongly as the radical groups. The United States must depend on nuclear power and be willing to risk nuclear war in order to avoid it, Gen. Markey said.
