roes beck Explains Student Transfer Procei due By EDWARD HERNSTEIN Noting that the number of students requesting admission as transfers to the University has increased by more than one-third in the last five years, Assistant Director of Admissions Byron L. Groesbeck Wednesday outlined transfer procedures and operations of the, Admissions Office in that procedure. Groesbeck explained that there are two types of transfers: the transfer from one unit of the University to another and the transfer from another college or university to this one. In the case where the transfer is from another unit of the University to either the literary college, the education school or schools of nursing, pharmacy, music, and architecture (other Uni- versity units have their own admissions offices), the student mere- ly fills out one transfer form and one transcript order form. Two-Point Average "Generally, a student with a two point average will be ad- mitted," Groesbeck said, "but there are exceptions. A few first semester freshmen are admitted to' a different unit with averages below a two point, but they must .make up the deficiency in their first semester in the new unit." Occasionally, he added, the school's academic standing com- mittee to which the student is applying is consulted when he is below a two-point. Most often such a student is turned down. A transfer from another school or college entails a more ex- tensive procedure. "Admissions at this level are a great deal like freshman admissions," Groesbeck said. "Units tell us fow many transfers they can handle. It differs only from freshman admis- sions in that we have a college record in addition to a high school record, as well as a confidential report on the student from the dean at his previous school." Depends on Program In general a transfer student is required to have a two point five average, but this depends on his program, Groesbeck said. This is because studies have shown that transfer students usually average about a half a grade-point lower at the University than at the institution they previously attended. Sometimes an unfav- orable personal record may prevent their admission. As with freshman admissions, all qualified instate residents are admitted first. Then applicants from out-of-state fill the re- maining vacancies. "This usually results in a two-thirds instate one-third out-of-state admissions ratio," Groesbeck said. Aftre a student has been admitted, the Admissions Office must evaluate the credits the transferee earned at his other school. This process "has been receiving a fair amount of attention these days," said Groesbeck, because "innovations (in courses) have made it hard to keep up to date." Two Types of Credit Groesbeck explained that three types of credit are given. If a student has taken a course which is comparable to one offered at the University, he is given credit as if he had taken that course here. For example, if a history course covers nearly the same ma- terial as some history course here, the student would receive credit for having taken the course here in terms of credit hours and meeting distribution requirements. If a student has taken a course which has no close equivalent at the University, yet which clearly belongs within a certain depart- ment, the student is given "departmental credit." Again this type of credit can be used to meet distribution requirements, though it does not always meet requirements for sequences. A third type of credit is given for courses which, at the Uni- versity, would be considered of an interdepartmental nature. This is "divisional credit," and it is broadly classified under terms such as social sciences, natural sciences and humanities. These credits are usually applicable to meeting distribution requirements. No Credit "There are courses, however, where no credit is given," Groes- beck said. Remedial courses and physical education courses are examples of these. But despite the problems in evaluating courses "we don't have many complaints" from transfer students, he said. Groesbeck made it clear that although the credits from another school count on a transfer student's transcript, "no grade trans- fers to the University transcript" of the student. The justification for this is that while the comparison of courses and their content can be made, it is impossible to compare the grades received in them, he explained. This means that a transfer student has two separate grade point averages that are in no way combined and that any aca- demic honors he may receive at the University are solely dependent upon his performance here.

LXXIII, No. 101 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1963 SEVEN CENTS SIX PAGES FREE EXPRESSION: Union Adopts Publication Planj By THOMAS CREECY The Michigan Union board of directors adopted the executive council-submitted policy state- ment on the Michigan Union Reports last night by a nine-four vote. This statement formally en- dorses the Michigan Union Re- ports, "as a further expansion into the area of free expression," in an organization that "provides for an expression of creativity." Cir- culated four or five times a year,I it publicizes Union events, and onJ occasion acts as an outlet for in- dividual Union member's opinions. All such individual articles, would1 carry disclaimers as in keepinga with this a-political policy. Two reasons were advanced for the new policy. The first is-to1 I 1 ' help develop articulate leadership among Union members by allowing them opportunities for free ex- pression. The second is to help educate the campus.* In answer to a charge that it was not the aim of a service or- ganization to "get into politics," a plan proponent replied that there are "different reasons why people join dissimilar organizations. We think Union members, service people, should be able to expess themselves as much as journal- -junlists." Natural Expression The Michigan Union Report will be a natural expansion of the role of the Union and should not be considered ani encroach- ment into the domain of existing publcations. Senate Sees Demonstration Of 'U' Research Project By GAIL EVANS A Laser rod, an OGO package, a gauge to measure the moon's atmosphere and a crestatron--all devices developed by University researchers-were demonstrated by University President Harlan Hatcher Wednesday at the Senate Appropriations Committee hearing in Lansing. The various scientific devices were used to show Senators on the committee the scope of research work at the University, in hopes " f convincing the committee to recomnind an additional $1-1.5 million for the Institute of Science and Technology. President John F. Kennedy has : called for a million more scientists and the University is one place to get more, President Hatcher said. :: Grave Danger' It will have a projected circula- tion of 3500 and will be distribut- ed to housing unit lounges by the Union public relations staff. Each issuance should cost about $250. Also covered at the meeting was the check-cashing problem. It is felt that the Union cannot now provide adequate service with existing facilities. The: board- approved plan calls for a check- cashing service extended to fe- male students and all faculty members, separate from the main desk. Its attendant will be con-' cerned with check-cashing only, thus relieving the overburdened main desk staff and desk-area congestion. The new rates, yet to be established by the finance com- mittee, will be the same for stu- dents and faculty. Union-League The proposed organization chart for the combined Union-League was submitted for future amend- ment and approval. The structure calls for a board of directors responsible directly to the Re- gents.-The board would consist of four students, two faculty mem- bers, two alumnae, a general man- ager and a representative of the Vice-President for Business and Finance. The chairman of the board would be either a faculty or alumni member. The organization plan calls for an executive com- mittee, responsible for day to day operation and a student activi- ties committee. In addition an OSA-related all-campus commit- tee composed of the presidents of major student organizations, and related interes ,s would calendar all student activities. The concept of the Student Ac- tivities Committee separate from the executive 'committee denotes a major break from the present board runs both set ups. The plan will be presented to the Union-League study commit- tee for discussion and possible adoption.

Senators Consider Delta Unit University President H a r 1 a n Hatcher said yesterday. that his 'request for $50,000 of state funds for planning the proposed Univer- sity four-year branch at Delta College was not an impromptu re- quest. "I was not sure that the ques- tion of Delta would come up at the hearing (the Senate Approp- riations Committee h e a r i n g Wednesday), but I was fully prepared" to ask for a Legislative resolution which would provide planning support and Legislative commendation for the University's effort to establish a center at Delta, he commented. . The University, in establishing its Flint College and Dearborn College, secured Legislative ap- proval before expanding, although, as a constitutional autonomous body, it was not legally required to do so. The request for a resolution to provide support for planning a' college is not without precedent, President Hatcher added. Grand Valley State College received a sum of money for planning from the Legislature, he indicated. .Provides Extra Aid If such a resolution should pass, it would provid3 additionalassist- ance toward the completion of the Delta-University, talks, although the negotiations would be con- tinued even without such state funds, the President asserted. The money, if appropriated, would help finance administra- tive time and staff attention to implentation plans for a Univer- sity branch. From the direction of planning, the University believes that an agreement between the two insti- tutions can be reached which would be a contribution to highere education in the tri-county area, he said.

PIERPONT 'U' research / BRITAIN: Bonn Reveals EEC Plans BONN-West Germany has de- veloped a four-stage plan design- ed to ensure full Common Market membership for Britain and forge an unbreakable bond between Europe and the United States, in- formed sources reported yester- day. The plan was unanimously ap- proved by German Chancellor K o n r a d Adenauer's Christian Democratic Party and government officials, the sources said. The plan involves these steps: 1) Association of Britain with the Common Market and creation of a customs union between the market and the European Free Trade Association by 1965; 2) Full British membership in the market sometime after 1965; 3) Political union among the nations of the Common Market, including Britain; 4) A cooperation pact betWeen "There is grave danger of a policy in Michigan that the state can let the great University stand while it brings other areas up to its level," President Hatcher warn- ed. The University has been ex- panding, however. There are now 10,412 graduate and prof'essional students--as many students as were> enrolled in the entire Uni- versity at the time of Pearl Har- bor, he said. Although the number of en- gineering students in undergradu- ate programs have decreased here and across the nation, the Uni- versity's graduate engineering op- eration has grown faster than any other school, according to Presi- dent Hatcher. Different Facilities Graduate students require dif- ferent laboratory facilities and faculty. It costs the state $3,058 per year to educate professional students, $2,801 for doctoral can- didates, $1,804 for master's can- didates, $765 for juniors and seniors and $318 for freshmen and +sophomores, he pointed out. Since the University provides the most service to the state in the graduate-professional job-J filling areas, it deserves Legisla- tive support in these areas, he j'- dicated.

Circulate in Quads The IQC rules and regulations committee report adopted last night allows SGC candidates to circulate petitions in the quads, but not in meal lines and at all times "respectful of residents' privacy." It allows stuffing of mail boxes with the approval of the house or quad council whose resi- dents will receive the circulars.; Robert Geary, '64E, advocated the mandate since it provided protection for the resident from literature, petitioning and cam- paigning which would invade his privacy.

The purpose of the motion raised by Curtis' Huntington, '65, was to show the council that it was weak and in order to remain effective must make corrections. Subversive Bill Sta s Dormant. In Committee By GERALD STORCH Special To The Daily LANSING - Rep. Richard A. (Honest John) Guzowski (D- Detroit) yesterday decided not to force discharge of his subversive speaker resolution from the House Committee on Revision and Amendment of the Constitution. Although Guzowski expects that this group will report out his pro- posal to the floor on Monday or Tuesday, Rep. Homer Arnett (R- Kalamazoo), 'chairman of the committee, indicated last night that he "still doubts very much" whether the Detroit Democrat at present has the votes to get the bill out. Guzowski last week proposed a constitutional amendment which would prohibit public education institutions from opening their facilities to speakers "advocating, teaching or urging subversion." While no legislator has voiced opposition in principle to such a revision, the committee would rather hold off on any amendment to the present state constitution until after Michigan voters decide the fate of the proposed con- stitution April 1. Guzowski said he decided against a forcible discharge of his bill as a "courtesy" to the Of Country Betancourt To Talk With Kennedy Soon; Alerts Army Units By The Associated Press CARACAS-Communist hijack. ers of a Venezuelan freighter claimed last night they were in complete command of the.ship and defied capture in an air-sea chase in the Caribbean. New violence broke out in Car- acas and Venezuelan President Romulo Betancourt alerted the na- tion's -armed forces as he prepared for his trip to Washington next week for talks with President John F. Kennedy. United States warships and air- craft joined in the search for the fugitive 3,127-ton Anzoategui in response to an appeal for_,help from the Betancourt government, which branded the hijackers as pirates. Head to Santiago Authorities said the hijackers appeared headed for the eastern Cuban pert of Santiago, about 40 miles from the United States naval base at Guantanamo. The United States Coast Guard at San Juan reported interpreting a radio ;message from the captive ship-which read that the "crew is well, and officers and men are under arrest." In Washington, informants said United States searchers on locat- ing the Anzoategui would report the ship's position immediately to Caracas. They suggested a Vene- zuelan government request to in- tercept it would be honored, but the State Department and Navy were officially cautioned in their comments. International Law In branding the hijackers as pi- rates,-Venezuelan Interior Minis- ter Carlos Andres Perez declared that all nations under internatioal law are obligated to help in cap- turing the Communists who seized the freighter. Perez rejected a reported pirate broadcast offer to release the cap- tain of the Anzoategui and his crew of 35 in exchange for pardons for jailed Venezuelan terrorists. The Venezuelan government blamed the hijacking on the Armed Forces for National Liberation, an organization with links to Cuba. FALN leaflets strewn about Car- acas newspaper offices said the seizure of the ship was aimed at turning world opinion against Bet ancourt.
