The new fisheries building, to be located at the eastern end of North Campus, will replace the current University-owned United States commercial fisheries bureau re- search facility on E. Washington1 St., Vice-President for Research Ralph A. Sawyer explained recent- ly. Funds for the building have al- ready been appropriated by Con- gress and the structure should be. completed within two years, Saw- yer estimated. The University, he said, only do- nated the land for the building and will have no control over the facility's activities. The new structure will be Joined by an approximately $2.5 million United States Public Health Serv- ice water pollution research cen- ter, awarded to the, University three weeks ago. That structure will be located in the same North Campus area as the fisheries lab- oratory. The University will submit a re- quest for a $2 million building to house NASA contract research within the next week, he said. The facility, to be located on North Campus, would put under one roof most of the approximate- ly $4 million a year worth of re- search the University does for NASA, Sawyer explained. An estimated 25,500 students will be enrolled at the University for residence credit this semester. The figure is expected to be down from the record enrollment of 26,552 set last fall. The drop is a result of the mid-year gradua- tion and the relatively small num- ber of new freshmen and transfer students enrolling for the first time at the University. The smaller number of new freshmen is due to the general de- crease in the number of mid-year high school graduations. The shorter time between the examina- tion period and registration ac- counts for the inconclusive statis- tics on transfer students. Conclude Exams Many transfers have just con- cluded exams at other schools and have not been able to have their grades transferred to Ann Arbor. Final enrollment figures will not be available until the completion of registration by pre-classified students in Ann Arbor and regis- tration at Flint College, and the Dearborn Center. As of yesterday there was a total of 315 new students at the University. Works Well The newly instituted system of pre - classification is running smoothly, and "more people are in the classes they wanted than ever before" Director of the Office of Registration and Records Edward G. Groesbeck said. The system of pre-classifying is eventually supposed to do away with the need for classifying in the gymnasium. Registration will be- come a process handled entirely through the mail, Groesbeck pre- dicted. Ellis Stars Appearing in "A Midsummer Night's Dream," directed by APA artistic director, Ellis Raab, who will play Oberon, will be Rosemary Harries, who will play Titania, Will Geer, Richard Woods, Keene Curtis and Clayton Corzatte. Joining the University's resi- dent company for the production will be Ellen and Kate Geer, daughters of Will Geer, who are coming to Ann Arbor from the San Diego Shakespeare Festival. "The Merchant of Venice" will be given its modern staging by Richard Baldridge. Baldridge was playwright and associate director of APA's "We Comrades Three," a part of the PTP's Fall Drama Fes- tival. Full Company The full APA resident company will appear in "The Merchant of Venice" plus PTP acting fellows Rod Bladel, Edward Cambria, Bar- ba Knight and George Pentecost. Local players Claribel Baird, Jaci O'Brien and Herbert Propper will also appear. In the final production of the Winter Festival, Ellis Raab will portray King Richard. Jonathan Farwell will play Bolingbroke and Will Geer will appear as John O' Gaunt. First Festival The PTP is sponsoring the First Shakespearean Festival in Ann Arbor, an advance commemora- tion of the approaching 400th anniversary of the poet's birth. After the Ann Arbor Festival, the APA will tour Michigan, pre- senting "A Midsummer Night's Dream" to student and community audiences. The box office will open Mon- day, Feb. 4 at Trueblood Theatre in Frieze Bldg. at 10 a.m. and will be open through Friday from 10 a.m. through 5 p.m. Bill pposes lOMerger Plan By GERALD STORCH Special To The Daily LANSING-In a direct rebuff to Delta College's wishes for affilia- tion with the University, Rep. Raymond C. Wurzel (R-North Street), chairman of the House Committee on Education, yester- day introduced a bill to establish an independent "piggy-pack" jun- ior-senior college in the thumb area. To be called Saginaw Valley Senior College, the new institu- tion would open its doors Sept. 1, 1964, to qualified transfer students from Delta (a freshman-sopho- more level college) and any other institution, although it would cater mainly to community and junior college transfers. This bill already has the unan- imous informal support of educa- tion committee members, who op- pose a Delta tie-up with the Uni- versity because they feel it would destroy. the structure of commun- ity colleges in the rest of the state. Considered Soon Wurzel's proposal will be con- sidered in committee next week. Despite the introduction of his bill, University officials said yes- terday that negotiations with Delta will continue, although no agreement on a merger has been reached. Rep. Russell H. Strange (R- Clare) asserted that "we all rec- ognize the prestige of the Univer- sity, but there is, a strong fear that if it runs rampant up and down the state gobbling up com- munity colleges, the concept of community colleges will be des- troyed." College Overture He reported that Michigan State University President John A. Han- nah, in testimony last December before a special legislative com- mittee which formulated the "piggy-pack" plan, had warned that if the University-Delta mer- ger occurred, then MSU would also begin to make such overtures to community colleges. "So every other community col- lege in Michigan would then want to become a four-year institution," he said. "But Delta is not just a local issue; whatever is done will have bearing on the growth and structure of community colleges throughout the whole state.

Wil- liam D. Romano (D-Warren) said Speca lTo The Daily LANSING-Gov. George Romney has recommended $ million for the University's 1963-64 operating budget ii $115.4 million total budget request for higher education. The recommendation, $6 million under the $44.2 mil] requested by the Regents last fall, is only $1.5 million m than the University received last year. Vital Affect Romney noted that."the greatest increases in the bud are for higher education. I recommend this to you because I functions performed by our" State colleges and universities vitally affect our children and their welfare." Michigan S t a t e tniversity President John A. Hannah, how- ever, was most upset. "We had understood that the governor would recommend holding the current level of state support on a per-student basis and provide for salary adjustments of about 25 per cent. The figures in the budget message would not do this," he asserted. University Executive Vice-Pres- ident Marvin L. Niehuss also ex- Spressed "disappointment" in the budget. He said that the original budget request was "tight," and that we could cut the necessary increase to $3-3.5 million. However the $1.5 million boost offerred by Romney would only provide for a "token year-round operation" beginning this fall. Faculty Salaries Neither would the University be able to increase faculty salaries nor improve the faculty-student ratio in 1963-64, he said. Niehuss stated however that, .in the past few weeks, University of- ficials had been anticipating an increase of only $1-1.3 million, so that the $1.5 million was really more than they had anticipated. He noted that last year the Uni- versity received only half the needed increase, but a hike in out-of-state tuitions filled the deficit. So "this year, we can't take it from the students," he noted. The governor also recommend- ed $32.4 million for Michigan State, down $7.2 million from the $39.5 million requested, and $17.1 million for Wayne State Univer- sity, down $5.5 million from the request of $22.6 million. Other Requests Other recommendations includ- ed $2.6 million for 3.erris Institute, $3.5 million for Michigan College of -Mining and Technology, $3.5 million for Central Michigan Uni- versity, $3.7 million for Eastern Michigan University, $1.9 million for Northern Michigan College, $6 million for Western Michigan Uni- versity, and $550,000 for Grand, Valley College. . It was not immediately apparent whether other presidents concur- red with Hannah that Romney did not recommend the budget allot- ments reportedly discussed at a Tuesday meeting between Han- nah, University President Harlan Hatcher, WSU President Clarence Hilberry, and the governor. Romney also proposed $22.9 mil- lion in capital outlay funds fora higher education: The University, $4.3 million for educational facil- ities and $500,000 for the Medical Center; MSU, $3.4 million; WSU, $3.2 million; Ferris, $985,000;. Grand Valley, $970,000; Tech,l $1.5 million; CMU, $1.5 million;1 EMU, $1.4 million; NMC, $1.4 mil- lion, and WMU, $2.7 million.
