urve Reports U' Graduate Expenses Hig)h By RICHARD KELLER SIMON It costs more to get a doctorate at the University than at other large graduate schools. In-state students here pay more than in-state students do at other state supported universities. Out-of-state students here pay more than students do at major private universities, a Graduate Student Council ;report maintains. GSC has been studying cost problems facing graduate students in light of last semester's tuition increases which were especially high in graduate departments. Last week the final report was submitted to the council. Compares Costs The report compares costs at the University with costs at the University of Chicago, Columbia University, Harvard University, Princeton University, the University of Southern California, and Yale University (private schools), and the Universities of Califor- nia, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Ohio State University (state-supported schools). Graduate students can take four-year, six-year, or eight-year programs at most of these universities. ,Out-of-state University students pay a total of $3830, $5745, or $6640 depending on the program. Students at the private uni- versities mentioned in the report pay on the average $3734, $4403, or $4705 for similar programs. University costs, especially in the longer programs, are much higher. In-State In-state University students pay a total of $1304, $2010, or $2320. In-state students at other state-supported universities pay on the average $809, $1195, or $1229. University costs are again much higher, the report states. Out-of-state students here pay more than out-of-state students at other state-supported institutions. The report explains that "one reason why the University has these significantly higher fees is the fact that tuition is drastically reduced when the thesis is being written at these other schools." Graduate students writing theses at private universities pay on the average 26 per cent of full time tuition. At state supported universities they pay an average of 25 per cent of full time tuition. 83 Per Cent At the University, graduate students working on theses must pay 83 per cent of full time tuition. The committee's report expresses concern over three separate administrative actions that went into affect last semester that further increased graduate costs: the tuition increase, which the Graduate Executive Board made no effort to inform a student of, a consolidation of part time student definitions, and the lowering of the number of hours that constitute a full-time student's load. The number of hours constituting full time work was lowered because students were electing fewer hours. The committee con- cluded that students elected fewer hours because of rising costs and this lowering makes it a vicious circle: tuition rises, students have to take less hours because of limited resources, full-time work is redefined as more students are taking fewer classes and this causes another rise in expenses. Investigations The committee also investigated the reasons behind the wide differences in in-state and out-of-state costs. It is not a problem of cost accounting, the report states, for it costs no more to educate one type of student over another, but it is a political problem. "The administration is between a backward Legislature and an irate student body which may upset the Legislature even more. We are faced with the choice of asking tough questions and pub- licizing our complaints, which may antagonize the Legislature, or being quiet and hoping that the University can lobby well enough to make the Legislature more tractable," the report says. The committee has discussed the problems with officials in the graduate school as well as University administrators. Vice President for Academic Affairs Roger W. Heyns replied in a private letter that "the University has on many occasions in- dicated its firm commitment to keeping fees and tuition as low as possible, and we regret that they are now as high as they are. "The University has been almost completely dependent upon fee income for salary increases in recent years, and it is impossible at this time for us to contemplate reducing fees... "I recognize that this answer is not the one you desired, but I assure you that your problem has received careful attention from the Graduate Executive Board, the Fees Committee of the Uni- versity, and from me. Further Action The report concludes that further action should be a study of the 1958 Russell Report (of Michigan higher education) to deter- mine the philosophy behind present cost accounting methods, a close watch of the Legislature, an investigation of the areas in which graduate students can exercise power, some thought as to how the University can become fiscally independent of the Legis- lature and further comparisons of University costs with other colleges. One GSC member in commenting on the future action said, "I favor raising hell."

LXXIII, No. 109 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1963 SEVEN CENTS SIX PAGES REGIONAL CONFERENCE: Democrats Hit Con-Con Plan By KENNETH WINTER The supporters of Michigan's proposed new constitution have put themselves in the position of backing things they don't really believe in, two Democratic leaders charged yesterday. New State Chairman Zolton Ferency and Prof. Gerhard Weinberg of the history department, Ann Arbor Denocratic chairman, called for a "real-life, practical appraisal" of the con-con proposal. Prof. Weinberg told the Democrats attending a regional leader- ship conference that "we have Party Head Says Group Reconciled The new chairman of the Demo cratic State Central Committe denied yesterday that any part split has resulted from his last minute victory at the state con vention. "I'm really exhilarated with th state of the Democrats," Zoltoi Ferency declared. He said that h had not detected any signs o lasting bitterness among the sup porters of former chairman Joh "Joe Collins, '57. He characterized the aim of the Collins backers as "not to roc ' the boat. They were interested i the status quo." Ferency said tha the desire not to change leader- ship with an election nearing i characteristic of many conven- tions. "Most of the elected official were for Collins," he added, refer ring primarily to the all-Demo cratic state administrative board Ferency said Collins, a forme Student Government Council pres- ident, is now "immersed in hi private insurance business." He expects Collins to continue party work, but did not specify any po sition he might be given. Despite high morale, the party is "in serious condition financial ly," Ferency remarked. If he car raise the funds, Ferency woud like to purchase radio-television time to plead the Democrats' con- con case. He also envisioned a regular, year-round party telecast which would replace various other campaign devices. "This way we could present our side of the issues directly," he commented, criticizing the state's newspapers for pro-con-con bias Ferency claimed that the papers -particularly the Detroit ones- had already made up their minds and were refusing to hear anti- con-con arguments. Chicago Dean Permits Visit Of Nazi Chief In accordance with the Univer- sity of Chicago's Student Code which states that recognized stu- dent associations "may invite and hear speakers of, their choice on subjects of their choice," the uni- versity will permit George Lincoln Rockwell, American Nazi Party leader, to appear on campus. The invitation came a few weeks after his speaking engagement at Northwestern University was can- celled by that university's admin- istration. Apparently referring to this, Dean of Students Warner A. Wick issued a statement indicating that the significance of Rockwell's visit to make clear to the people that *constitutional questions are going to continue to be with us," wheth- er or not the con-con product passes. Appropriations They went on to view the ap- propriations clauses of the pro- posed document - especially as they pertain to educationalyap- propriations. Ferency attacked the passage '- which asserts that an appropria- e tion "is not a mandate to spend," y and requires that previously-ap- -proved appropriations be cut if - taxes fail to yield the expected in- come. "If you honestly believe in e a balanced budget, this is good n language-but what does it mean e in terms of practical application f to government?" What it means, Ferency assert- ed, is the various state agencies will have to curtail their services e -to the detriment of the people k they serve-and always operate in a the shadow of a possible appropri- Sations cut. Supplemental appro- -priations, which now can be s quietly handed out, would violate - the new constitution, he said. s e Possible Shortage He added that the revenue - shortage which would lead to ap- propriations cuts is very possible. r' "Appropriating is preparing the r government to provide services 15- 18 months in advance of when s they will be provided. But there is no possible way to predict reve- nues precisely 18 months ahead." Prof. Weinberg pointed out an implication of the appropriations provisions for higher education. During the 1959 "Cash Crisis," the Regents had to borrow money to pay salaries. The local banks were willing to make such loans, because they knew the University appropriation had already been fixed.and would eventually come, he said. "But under the new constitu- tion, there would be no fixed ap- propriation-it could be changed sduring the year. No bank in its right mind would loan them money under such circumstances.'' Apportionment The Democrats' strongest scorn was reserved for the legislative ap- portionment provisions. Ferency, considering the proposed bipar- tisan apportionment commission, asked. "do you believe that 50 per -cent of the commission should represent 8 per cent of the state -as it would-and the other 50 per cent represent the remaining 92 per cent?" He also said that the provision requiring a deadlocked apportion- ment commission to submit its dispute to the state supreme court is not a workable solution. 1 Both speakers rapped the for- mula by which the commission is supposed to determine apportion- ment. Prof. Weinberg commented, "The state isn't stationary in pop- ulation. The new apportionment formula, applied over a period of years, will be distorted as popula- tion shifts continue." Ferency accused Republicans of "hypocrisy" with respect to the circuit judge provisions. Prof. Weinberg added that Sen. Stanley G Thaver (R-Ann Arhr) and ZOLTON FERENCY ...attacks con-con COVERAGE: Daily Collects First Place Press Award special To The Daily NEW YORK-The Fifth Inter- national Affairs Conference for College Editors yesterday awarded The Daily one of the nation's top awards for campus journalism. The Daily placed first in compe- tition of daily newspapers for "distinguished campus coverage of international and national af- fairs." The annual conference at which the awards were presented is sponsored by Overseas Press Club and the United States National Student e Association in coopera- tion with the Readers Digest Foundation. The University of Illinois Daily Illini and the University of Texas Daily Texan placed second and third respectively. In the non- daily paper competition, the Uni- versity of New Mexico New Mexico Lobo placed first followed by the Trinity College Trinity Tripod and the Columbia University Columbia Owl. Individual awards for news cov- erage were presented to Roger Elbert of the Illini and John A. Osborn of the Kalamazoo College Index. Tech Sets S peaker Provision HOUGHTON - The Board of Control of Michigan College of Mining and Technology recently adopted a policy on speakers in- vited to campus by student groups which is almost identical to that which was previously proposed by the Michigan Co-ordinating Coun- cil for Public Higher Education. The policy provides that the speaker must not urge action which is prohibited by the pub- lished rules of the college, orE which goes against either Mich- igan or federal law. It also places the responsibility on the student group to inform the speaker of these prohibitions. Only Chartered Groups Only student groups, chartered by the dean of students as campus organizations (as specified by cri- teria of recognition) may invite speakers to the campus. The organization which does the inviting must make full ar- rangements including the filing of a provided form, the new policy states. The form in question re- quires that the organization show the time and place of the meeting, the speaker and his subject. Where the proposed subject is controversial, it is suggested that the technique of fair debate be- tween speakers with dissimilar views should be encouraged. One To Go Nine of the ten state-supported colleges and universities have now adopted similar speaker policies; the tenth school, Ferris Institute,7 is expected to consider the matter during a March meeting of its, board., T h e Co-ordinating Council's) policy, originally drafted by Prof. Samuel Estep of the Law School; and approved by the Council last December, was adopted in sub-1 stance by the Regents in January. Differences The primary difference between the Tech policy and the Univer-; sity's is Tech's "suggestion" that1 "controversial" subjects should bei treated in debate form, rather than as a single speech. The University policy makes no provision for controversial sub-i jects and makes no such sugges-1 tion. Romney Asks State Unity InO Second Inaugural Talk YAF SUPPORT: YRs Elect Howell As New Chairman By WILLIAM BENOIT special To The Daily GRAND RAPIDS-Allan Howell of Wayne State University, a conservative Republican and a member of the Young Americans for Freedom, pulled the rug out from under a surprised moderate candi- date here yesterday to become the new Michigan Federation of College Young Republicans chairman. Lou Ferrand, a moderate from Alma College and the strongest Howell opponent, was nominated by Douglas Brooks, '65, of the Takes Oath Of Office In Escanaba Governor To Heed Economic Problems ESCANABA (W - Republican Gov. George Romney kept a, cam- paign promise for a second in- augural yesterday and called upon Michigan to "pull itself together." This inaugural was in this Up- per Peninsula community. Hun- dreds of legislators, Republican leaders and ordinary citizens came to see Romney take his oath of office for the second time in two months. In a speech which followed, Romney promised his administra- tion would pay heed to the special problems of the economically dis- tressed, but resources-rich Upper Peninsula.

Frederic Mar- shall (R-Allen) is making another attempt to outlaw the Communist Party in Michigan. His bill, co-sponsored by Rep. Richard A. Guzowski (D-Detroit), would bar that party and its suc- cessors from appearing on the ballot. Because the party's aim is to overthrow the government by force, it should "not be entitled to be recognized as a political party under the laws of this state," the proposal states. Marshall pushed a similar bill through both houses last year, only to see it vetoed by former Gov. John B. Swainson. This time, Guzowski wants to see "if Gov. George ,Romney has the courage to do the right thing with this bill. He should have the right to be heard on the matter." Under the measure, the attor- ney general is authorized to deter- mine whether any political party has as its objective the forcible overthrow of the government. University club, with the support of a majority of that delegation Ferrand, however, could not col- lect sufficient vote strength to prevent the convention from going for Howell on the first ballot. Powah, Vigah Howell said the task of the Federation is now "to forget fac- tionalism and to move forward with great vigor in working for the proposed constitution and to work hard in rebuilding the Re- publican party in Michigan." Howell was backed by such prominent Young Republicans as Peter McPherson of Michigan State University, who recently made a bid for the national Col- lege YR chairmanship, and George MacDonald of the Dearborn Cen- ter. Favorite-son candidate Denne Osgood of Calvin College, who ran in protest against the way the campaign andconvention were being conducted, was nominated by Daily City Editor Michael Har- rah, '64BAd. Deadlock Fails However, Osgdod was unable to gather enough support at the eleventh hour to deadlock the con- vention. Another conservative and YAP member gained a seat on the Fed- eration exceutive board as James DeFrancis of Albion College de- feated Lew Soli of Western Michi- gan University in the race for the vice-chairmanship. Ferrand-back- ed Soli moved that the convention cast a unanimous ballot for De- Francis. Arthur Elliott, newly-elected GOP State Central Committee chairman, told the convention he thought the College Young Repub- licans had done an excellent job of promoting the party's goals in Michigan. In a fiery keynote address, Gov. George Romney asked the federa- tion to repudiate the labels that were being used to describe the various "types of Republicanism." No Such Animal The governor maintained there was no such thing as a "liberal Republican or a moderate Republi- can or somethnig else." Romney said he personally resented such labeling of himself by the press and other factions in the state. "It it unfortunate but true," the governor said, "that Michigan Democrats have been captured by economic pressure groups who would use that party toward their GOV.
