Pierpont said last night. "We hope to have the Senate Appropriations Committee review the entire building program in detail," he continued, "and we will stress the urgency of the need for the building to the committee." Vice-President Pierpont stressed the fact that the medical program at the University is so large as to be given consideration "in its own light," and not "at the expense of the other projects." All Important Executive Vice-President Marvin L. Niehuss agreed the Archi- tecture and Design Bldg. was also "very badly needed." "The first 4 WILBUR K. PIERPONT ...lobby for funds ledges Adid To Research By WILLIAM BENOIT Gov. George Romney, appearing in Ann Arbor yesterday for the dedication of a new laboratory at the Research Park, pledged Lans- ing support for increased research at the University. Later that evening, at a banquet sponsored by the Ann Arbor Chamber of Commerce, the gover- nor explained the "gap between appropriations requested by the University and the amount recom- mended in my budget." "We have suggested this year a $750,000 fund for the support of college research programs throughout the state. Although this sum is not large, the way we can offset a lack of funds is to make every dollar count," Rom- pey said. 'Snowball' Effect, "Everything of real consequence is small at the beginning and I'm hoping this program can snowball Into something of real signifi- cance," the governor continued. "We must learn to develop our own potential without running to Washington for aid." Romney noted that the only way to support a "great institu- tion like the University is to first boost Michigan's sagging economy." The governor told leading fig-- ures from the University and the community that Michigan industry has been lax in utilizing the facil- ities of the University for research programs. "We will study this problem and perhaps even invite industries from elsewhere to make use of these facilities," he said. 'U' Research Romney said that before a good. workable state-wide research pro- gram can be recognized, the work of developing some fundamental research processes must be done by institutions like the University. "We must strive in the area of basic research," Romney asserted. "Most research contracts from the federal government are going to the eastern states like Massachu- setts, while only 14 per cent of these contracts are awarded to Michigan." Romnev dedicated the research facility of the Federal Mogul Corp., the first built in the park, by silver plating two medalions with a spe- cial instrument triggered from the Crab Nebula by a radio-telescope relay. The governor had praise for the cooperation between the Univer- sity and the town in making Ann Arbor one of the most respected research centers in the country. "President Hatcher, Mayor Cecil 0. Creal and many of this com- munity's businessmen have all contributed unselfishly toward making this project a project we 'several items on the list are all extremely important," he said. However, he said that "the med- ical unit was placed first on the priority list," because it is "very pressing." "We are going to urge the com- mittee to add it to the list," but we do not know how good the chances are for this, Vice-Presi- dent Niehuss indicated. "They are certainly not as good as they would have I been if Governor George Romney had recommended the building. Possible Change "Our understanding with State Controller Glenn Allen is that it "may be possible for the commit- tee to do something about it, and that he will not oppose the change," he explained. Allen said Monday that the med- ical unit was not a totally lost cause, because the Legislature is "accustomed to making switches and changes." However, he saw the main possibility in substitut- ing Medical Science Unit II for the A & D building. Vice-President Pierpont said last night, that "The state should rec- ognize each of the University's re- quests separately." Our main in- terest right now is in "getting the buildings that we need so badly." The University has been at- tempting to get the medical unit for the past 10 years. The reason the Legislature gave for the switching of funds was that the total construction cost for the medical building was more than the state would be able to approp- riate in the near future. M1SU Official Opposes Stand 'Of 'U' Chief- University President H a r I a n Hatcher's recent statement that the nation's graduate and profes- sional "leadership universities" must not be neglected amidst the flood of incoming freshmen has been greeted with some disfavor by a Michigan State University vice-president. "If he meant the development of only 10 or 15 institutions, he stands alone in encouraging such concen- tration," Milton Muelder, MSU vice-president for research and dean of advanced graduate studies, declared. Muelder claimed ;hat President Hatcher's comments ignored cur- rent trends in higher education, such as raising the standards of secondary school teaching. "In order to make further prog- ress, we have to accelerate the un-, dergraduate program in order to improve the graduate program," Muelder commented. Residents To Decide On Ruling Members of Assembly House Council approved a motion to al- low the residents of Alice Lloyd Hall to formulate their own dress regulations at their weekly meet- ing Monday. In regard to the motion, Assem- bly President Mary Beth Norton, '64, said, "I think we can safely say this will set a precedent." Dean's Power Previously, the power to'approve dress regulations in the women's residence halls lay in the now- defunct Dean of Women's Office. When the office was abolished, the power was transferred to the Office of Student Affairs. Recently, there has been con- troversy over whether this power should remain in the hands of the OSA or should belong to the Assembly House Council, she noted. View Power Miss Norton said, "At present no one knows where the power lies." She said that she thought Assembly should take the power. Vice-President for Student Af-, fairs James A. Lewis is looking into the matter or Assembly power and will make a policy statement in the near future. Miss Norton said, "My philos- ophy of student government is that I think that students should be able to decide things for them- selves." To :demolish' Observatory By PHILIP SUTIN The University will tear down the Observatory Bldg. after the astronomy department moves out of the building and its telescopes are relocated, but the date of the building's demise is indefinite. The 109-year old building is to be torn down as part of the Med- ical Center master expansion plan, assistant to the vice-president for business and finance John G. Mc- Kevitt explained yesterday. No Plans Prof. .Orren C. Mohler, chair- man of the astronomy department, said that his department did not have definite plans for moving the telescopes, but indicated that they would probably be placed on Peach Mt. where the University has its radio and some optical telescopes. However, this plan is stymied by a lack of funds. Cost Studies Prof. Mohler said some prelim- inary cost studies had been made and that they show that the cost of moving the telescopes and building adequate housing for them on Peach Mt. are "quite h ig h," possibly reaching six figures. Prof. Mohler noted that there is no money available for such a project. To Open Meanwhile, the Physics-Astron- omy Bldg., to open this summer. will provide classroom and office space for the department, Prof. Mohler said. There is no provisionI for telescopes in the building, he added.I The University does not plan to use the Observatory Bldg. as part of the Medical Center as "the building is ancient and does not lend itself to reconversion," Mc-[ Kevitt said. 1 Council Report Studies Policy Code I I By BARBARA LAZARUS A recently completed report on Soviet and American foreign policy seeks to produce certain information which will help to generate as accurate a picture as possible of the Russian and American foreign policy opera- tional codes. The report, done by Profes- sors Robert Angell of the so- ciology department and J. David Singer of the Mental Health Research Institute, chose to study the articulations of those elites who most ac- curately make or reflect their country's operational code. It studied, for a three year period beginning May, 1957, and ending coincidentally, just prior to the U-2 incident, those "written materials which would most faithfully reflect the as- sumptions, expectations and as- pirations of those elites." Studies Periodicals Prof. Singer's section of the report dealt with three periodi- cals from each country, includ- ing Pravda, Kommunist and International Affairs from Rus- sia. and the New York Times, Department of State Bulletin and Foreign Affairs from the United States. One finding of Prof. Singer's section which deals with elite images of the international .ys- tem said that "we find that neither side expresses a par- ticularly objective or even realistic view. The Soviets never, saw the system as one charac- terized by or contributing to. incessant .conflict, and Ameri- cans only did so in seven per cent of the cases." On origins or causes of ini- tiating conflict, both sides con- verged sharply. "For the United States, war was seen as the re- sult, of 'one state's aggressive- ness' 63 per cent of the time and for the Soviets it was 88 per cent." 'Inevitable Clash' Neither side gave frequent ex- pression to the "must inevit- ably clash" position, with scores of seven per cent for the United States and one per cent for the Soviet Union, the report indi- cated. Viewing progress in develop- ment and production of ad- vanced weapons systems, "al- most every reference to this dimension in the Soviet press termed its own technological progress as 'faster' than the United States (98 per cent), whereas the American press- reflecting the image of Sputnik I and II-scored their own weapons technology as develop- ing more slowly than that of their opponent 45 per cent of the time." Military Advantages In evaluating relative "pres- ent military advantage," the Soviets viewed it in their own favor 95 per cent of the time as comparedrto "the. remarkably low figure" of 52 per cent for the Americans, the study re- ported. "The Soviets anticipate a 'victory for us' 37 per cent of the time compared to only four per cent for the United States." In terms of limitation of a pos- sible war, the report said that Americans (19 per cent) thought it would "probably es- calate into general war" and those in the USSR predicted this 75 per cent of the time. In interpreting relative power, the USSR claimed to see a shift in their favor almost every time (99 per cent) and predict- ed an American collapse, result- ing from Communist "successes elsewhere" (45 per cent) an-d from the "weakness and con- tradictions of the American system" (53 per cent). Degree of Confidence United States elites tended to reflect a much more modest degree of self-confidence. They scored the power balance as "static" 42 per cent of the time and 29 per cent as "shiftL- ing in their favor," the report said. "Neither side admits that the other's dominant goal is "eIf- preservation, yet each says with a very high frequency (United States-80 per cent and USSR -100 per cent) that the other would choose 'security' over ideological considerations :n making policy decisions." The report indicated that there were few tendencies to admit the other's military doe- trine was a retaliatory one and was more often seen as pre- ventive or pre-emptive. Role of Force Looking at political instru- ments, "the Soviets allege that the major instrument of United States' policy is military force (59 per cent) with political sub- version and socio - economic penetration scored at 24 and 17 per cent levels." Conversely, United States elites score only 27 per cent for Soviet military force with 36 and 37 per cent for "the less for violent techniques." "By a ratio of two to one, each claims that disarmament negotiations are more likely to be successful when they -iie stronger than when there is approximate parity," the report stated. International Organization "The most discouraging ele- ment, however, is the extreme- ly low frequency with which each looks to 'effective inter- national organization' (JJSSR -15 per cent and .he United States 20 per cent)" as a means by which the non-military con- flict may be carried on. The study indicated that, on the one hand, both 'counrties not only have an impressive range of incompatible goals and clashes, but that each nation's foreign policy elite is aware of this. "On the other hand, each reveals a powerful tendency to act and speak in such a way as to exacerbate the differences." Strategy? The inquiry into the opera- tional codes confirms. that neither side has yet discovered those strategies which may en- able it to survive he present while shaping the future, the study stated. "Until they are discovered- and utilized-it is safe to pre- dict that no major changes in Soviet-American relations will occur, short of a strategic war which neither side desires or intends."

I BIAS, MINIMUM WAGE: Caution Greets Romney Bills By GERALD STORCH Legislators reacted with cautious optimism yesterday to bills for a replacement for Rule Nine and a $1 an hour minimum wage-the first two pieces of legislation to be drafted by Gov. George Rom- ney's administration. In another Lansing development, Rep. Richard A. Guzowski (D- Detroit) was squelched by a 75-7 vote in his attempt to discharge a House committee from further consideration of his subversive speaker amendment to the con- stitution. Sen. John Fitzgerald (R-Grand Ledge), who is sponsoring the "open occupancy" measure to pro- hibit real estate brokers from dis- crimination in showing property listings, said "the ultimate chances of its passing are good." Bipartisan Issue Democratic leaders withheld comment, although Sen. Basil Brown (D-Detroit) and Rep. George H. Edwards (D-Detroit) have indicated their support. Fitz- gerald predicted there will be sup- port and opposition in both par- ties. Communist speakers from state- supported universities will prob- ably stay right in committee until after the April 1 election. "You just don't discharge com- mittees indiscriminately around here," Arnett said. Rep. William A. Boos (D-De- troit) charged that such an amendment would imply that col- lege students are "intellectually inept, easily duped and not cap- able of determining right from wrong. Guzowski, however, remains ad- amant. He said the rejection amounts to "welcoming the Com- .... v..e~f ].. .4. -e 1 i hi~r " APA Presents Richard II This bill reinstates the sub- munist Party to Michigan. stance of Rule Nine, an adminis- trative statute which was recentlyN RC declared invalid on a technicalityA by the state supreme court.
