'Verbal Promise' However, Begick said he was aware of a second "verbal prom- ise" made recently by President Hatcher in which he stated the University would maintain a. "hands-off policy" until January with Delta College. Begick sought clarification of President Hatcher's intentions from Beadle last night on the floor of the Senate. Beadle reportedly said he was sure the University would not go ahead in anything without legis- lative approval. Senate sources report that Be- gick is upset with Beadle for mak- ing any arrangement with Presi- dent Hatcher without consulting other members of the Senate. 'Arms Race' The Delta College expansion issue has been viewed by some legislators and higher education leaders throughout the state as a possible fuse to set off an "arms race" to grab branch colleges among Michigan's universities. Gov. George Romney is opposed to any steps being taken until the new Citizens Committee on High- er Education has had .a chance to survey the "entire education pic- ture in Michigan." The committee, appointed two weeks ago with a Delta study high in priority, will probably not put any recommendations in the hands of the Legislature for some time. " The governor has said he favors the establishment of four years ofr college in the Delta area, but he indicated he would prefer no * legislative action until next year. HARLAN HATCHER ... thumb-area battle HitFaculty Dismissals By RASHEL LEVINE Despite a student petition and letters from the American Civil Liberties Union and the Ameri- -can Association of University Pro- fessors, the Board of Trustees of Delta College remains firm on its stand on the non-renewal of the contracts of two faculty members: "The board has considered the petitions but has not changed its position," G e o r g e Butterfield, Delta personnel director, reported recently. "Every faculty member at Delta is on a.oner-year trial contract; no one is on tenure. Therefore my case is not unusual and everyone is equally threatened," commentel Donald Woodworth, one of the men who did not receive a con- tract renewal. - Boyd Hits Research Fallacies By PHILIP SUTIN Michigan industry is not taking full advantage of the University's research capabilities because it does not understand it, Assistant Director of Research Administra- tion Robert A. Boyd declared yes- terday. Boyd, who serves as the Institute of Science and Technology's liai- son with industry, said that in- dustry "misunderstands that Uni- versity research is interested in basic knowledge. It is carried on in the theoretical stage, not the product-development stage." Director of Research Adminis- tration Robert E. Burroughs not- ed that only 43 of the University's 110 research contracts are with Michigan firms. Misses Contributions Industry, he asserted, "often doesn't recognize the contributions research can make. They try to get 'seat-of-the-pants' solutions to problems requiring a more sophis- ticated approach." Boyd cited a questionnaire that went with the University's new bulletin on research for industry. While the bulletin was well- received-1100 out of 4000 recip- ients asked to be put on the mail- ing list-the replies indicate that industry misunderstands the pur- poses of University research, he added. "They expect new products, but the utilization of knowledge ac- tually is their own responsibility," Boyd declared. Must Educate He said that the University will have to educate Michigan industry to utilize basic-research findings to develop their own products. Executive secretary of the Ann Arbor Chamber of Commerce Wil- liam Bott agreed with Boyd that education will be needed before industry will fully utilize the Uni- versity's facilities. Industry is too "hardware- oriented," Bott said. It must at- tack new problems, he added. Economic Department ^Rep. Gilbert~ Bursley (R-Ann Arbor), chairman of the House Committee on Economic Growth, predicted that the proposed re- vamped economic development de- partment will help industry take advantage of the University. He said that a strong depart- ment under strong leadership will encourage research-based indus- trial development. In anouncing the lack of indus- trial participation Burroughs cit- ed revised estimates of sponsored research spending this year. Re- iterating his prediction of last faill, Burroughs said that non-defense department spending will pass de- fense department spending for the first time. The Defense Department will contribute $14 million while the National Institutes of Health, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the Atomic Energy Commission and the National Sci- ence Foundation will give over that amount. Sawyer added that he expected this trend to continu. Grand Valley Credits Allowed The University announced re- cently that it will accept transfer students from the new Grand Val- ley State College. Director of Admissions Clyde Vroman extended University aca- demic recognition to Grand Valley. The new college will enroll its first freshm n class this Septem- ber and add a class each year thereafter. When it has a complete four-year program it will be eli- gible for accreditation by the North Central Association. House To, Fori Legislature, Romney Hold Showdown unds, (ote on' Capital 'GET-ACQUAINTED' SESSION: Education Committee Meets, GOP Caucus Battles Over Key Proposals Special To The Daily LANSING-The Legislature and Gov. George Romney dueled to standoff last z r.. in the first real showdown between the legis- lative and executive branches at the Capitol. Several key pieces of legislation, cornerstones in the Romney pro- gram, were bottled up in House committees and the governor was faced with the prospect of prying them loose prior to the committee deadline last Wednesday. After long GOP caucusing, the House Committee on State Af- fairs reported out the controver- sial Senate-approved parochial school-bus bill, which would fur- nish bus transportation to paro- chial school pupils on the same basis as public school students. ACLU Hits Bill The Michigan Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union as- serted yesterday that the bus bill is illegal. ACLU Executive Director Emil Mazey charged that it violates both the Michigan and the United States constitution, because "fur- nishing transportation at public expense to church-regulated schools constitutes a direct benefit to such schools." Wage Bill Stalls Much harder to dislodge was the -minimum wage bill from the House Committee on Labor, where committee chairman Rep. Riemer Van Til (R-Holland) was adam- ant about killing it. But under virtual orders from the governor's office, the labor committee reluctantly sent a min- imum wage measure to the floor- with one hook: It wasn't Gov. Romney's proposal. Rather it was a heavily amended bill originally offered by Rep. Marie Hager (R- Lansing) in the House, which pro- vides for one dollar an hour mini- mum wge throughout the state, with virtually no exemptions. Now Romney supporters in the House are faced with amending this bill to their liking over the opposition of House Democrats who want a more liberal measure (such as Mrs. Hager's) and the Republicaiis who don't want any minimum wage legislation whatso- ever.. Fair Housing Dies Things were different, however, in the state affairs committee, where chairman Rep. Lloyd Gibbs (R-Portland) flatly refused to re- port out the governor's open oc- cupancy (fair housing) proposal. Gibbs contended the bill in its present form was bad legislation, and he added that the committee had not been given sufficient timeo to study it and make the proper amendments. So Rep. Gilbert Bursley (R-Ann Arbor) gave notice late Wednes-1 day evening that he would move; Thursday to discharge the state affairs committee from further consideration of the bill. His move was supported by Representatives Paul Chandler (R-Livonia), Don- ald Wismer (R-Port Huron) and David F. Upton (R-St. Joseph), allj freshmen members.- See LEGISLATURE, Page 8 1 'U By KENNETH WINTER Special To The Daily DEARBORN-The new "blue-ribbon" Citizens' Committee on Higher Education held a "get-acquainted" meeting April 5 and planned the first steps in its study of Michigan's college system. "This committee will be more important in shaping the future of Michigan than any group that will be organized in the next two years," -- :, RALPH A. SAWYER - NIH controversy 4 t 670 Protests A petition was circulated and signed by 670 students. It asserts that the manner in which the board refused the, renewals "has hurt the college by giving both students and faculty a feeling that their freedom has been lost and an injustice has been done." The petition requests the board to change its procedures so there will be no repetition of "such morale-destroying acts." They Y do not want to lose the services of "two men whom they greatly ad- mire and respect." One of the circulators of the petition, Fione Picard, commented that "the students will use much restraint, so that: something may be gained in the future if not presently." ' The Delta Collegiate, the col- lege's newspaper, ran an editorial condemning the board. It says that the "action is an injustice to the school and the community. Academic freedom has at least been indirectly violated." Ask Explanation The editors demand that the board give reasons for their ac- tions, Louis Picard, editor of the paper, said. Three division heads, the hu- manities department dean, and Delta President Samuel D. Mar- ble, h a v e recommended that Woodworth's contract be renewed. "My request for a hearing was ignored by the board," Woodworth said. The Saginaw Valley Chapter of the ACLU, in a letter to the board, condemns it for ignoring the fac- ulty recommendations. It charifes the board with merely "communi- cating dogma," and encroaching upon a professor's right to the protection of the First Amend- ment. The letter also requests the adoption of the procedures of academic due process. The local chapter of the AAUP is waiting for action from the national office. Its letter also Bills Outlay Sentence Heads O f Newspaper For Contempt PHILADELPHIA (MP)-Two Phil- adelphia Bulletin executives, con- victed of contempt for refusing to answer grand jury questions about stories they published, yesterday were sentenced to five days in jail and fined $1000 each. The two men-President Robert L. Taylor and City Editor Earl Selby-refused to purge themselves by giving the grand jury the in- formation it asked. Theirs were the first convictions growing out of the grand jury in- quiry into alleged corruption in Philadelphia's city government- an inquiry begun over five months ago. The Bulletin has been in the forefront since mnid-1961 in de- manding an impartial investiga- tion of city hall corruption charg- es. They had declined to answer certain questions asked by the grand jury, or to bring in request- ed documents, invoking privilege under a 1937 state law that pro-' vides newspapermen do not have to disclose sources of information in any legal proceedings. Specifically, they were called to testify about stories quoting John J. Fitzpatrick, former city council sergeant-at-arms and one-time Democratic ward leader. New Revision Of NIH Rules Stirs Protest The University has no com- plaints about tightened National Institute of Health grant regula- tions although some have been voiced at other universities. The Wall Street Journal report- ed last week that medical school officials from several major uni- versities have complained that the new regulation, designed to meet Congressional criticism about loose NIH financial controls, are too stringent. "Our university is swarming with agents from the National In- stitutes of Health. An attitude of mutual trust has been replaced by one of suspicion and policing," the Journal quoted one eastern medi- cal-school dean. It said another declared, "What they are doing is burning down the barn to get rid of the mice." University officials, however, re- port no such complaints here. Vice-President for Research Ralph A. Sawyer noted that new NIH regulations requiring more specific projects, progress reports and lim- ited foreign travel were only in line with other federal agencies. He added that NIH has set up a series of meetings to explain the new regulations. Prof. Rensis Likert of the psy- chology department, director of the Institute for Social Research and chairman of the University Senate Committee on Research said that the faculty group had received no complaints but will investigate if any develop. The new regulations follow a Congressional investigation which found abuses of NIH grants, es- pecially with a private New York research firm. { Gov. George Romney asserted in an opening speech. The governor charged the com- mittee with the responsibility of "coming up with a plan and a pro- gram for higher education in Michigan, and then presenting the facts supporting that plan in such a way that it will develop public support." Reputation "Years ago, Michigan built a considerable reputation in higher education. The University became a pattern university for other states. Michigan was also the site of the first land-grant college- Michigan State University," Rom- ney noted. But today, he said, there is destructiveycompetition among the state's institutions, "both in programs and in seeking legisla- tive appropriations." Asks Early Report Romney asked them to have some short-range recommenda- tions ready this fall, in time to consider in formulating his budget recommendations for 1964-65; and to have its final report compiled by fall, 1964. He emphasized that the group is on its own in setting more spe- cific goals and carrying out its investigation. Turning to a plan of action, the committee decided its first step should be that of fact-gathering. On a suggestion from Mrs. Mil- dred Jeffrey, UAW public-rela- tions director, the group will in- vite representatives of Michigan's public and private colleges and universities to give background in- formation on their institutions at the "blue-ribbon" committees's next meeting. Remember Russell' Former state representative Charles Boyer (R-Manistee) also suggested the group examine the 1958 Russell Report on Higler Education in Michigan for back- ground data. "Everybody used the Russell Report except the Legisla- ture-for whom it was designed," Boyer observed. The group also considered its internal organization. Joseph Ross, president ofsFederal Department Stores,suggested that the "interim report" this fall, dealing only with immediate needs for the 1964- 65 school year, be restricted to recommendations on quantitative See BLUE-RIBBON, Page 8 GEORGE ROMNEY . addresses citizens NORTH CAMPUS: offer Land For Building Higoh School The University recently has of- ficially offered 25 acres of land in the North Campus area just north of Huron River to the Ann Arbor Board of Education for the proposed new Ann Arbor senior; high school, according to a joint announcement of a tentative agreement by the Regents and the school board. If the new high school is- built, the University will discontinue op- eration of University High School and transfer about 170 students, presently in the sixth, seventh and eighth grades, to the Ann Arbor public school system. The construction of the new high school is dependent on a favorable vote on a 712 millage proposal and $6,000,000 bond ref- erendum to go before Ann Arbor voters in the May 7 school election.' Asst. Dean of the education school Charles Lehmann comment- ed that "if the bond issue fails, the high school will continue but its discontinuation will only be delayed for one of two years." He added that it was inevitable that University High School will be dis- continued. Dean Lehmann noted that there were many inadequate features in University High School including inadequate pool, athletic, science and home economics facilities. Expect Vote On Package This 'Week Ways, Means Unit Approves Measures With Few Changes By MICHAEL HARRAH City Editor Special To The Daily LANSING-The House will con- sider appropriations bills, includ- ing the University's allotments, in the general orders calendar today or tomorrow, Rep. Arnell E. E n g s t r o m (R - Traverse City), chairman of the House Committee on Ways and Means, said yester- day. If the body approves the ap- propriations package it will go to third reading' and final passage Thursday or Friday. The ways and means committee reported out their recommenda- tions on appropriations last week. The University's sum for the gen- eral operating budget and capital outlay programs went unchanged from thle Senate version of the bills, passed two weeks ago. Total Package Slashed Although the total appropria- tions package has been sliced by several million dollars off the Sen- ate version, many major approp- riations weren't touched. A total of $122.6 million ,is slated for higher education in the 1963-64 budget as it now stands, just about what the governor recommended. Almost one-third of the total goes to the University: $38.2 million, The University is also slated to receive $2.7 million for "opera- tion and administration of the psychiatric service in Children's Hospital, neuro-psychiatric insti- tutions and the Mental Health Re- search Institute." This figure rep- resents a $500,000 increase over the amended Senate version, re- storing the total to the original amount recommended by Sen. Frank D. Beadle (R-St. Clair), chairman of the Senate Commit- tee -on Appropriations. Details of 'U' Bill As the appropriations package now stands, the University will also receive some $5 million in capital outlay and planning money for a variety of projects, including $2.3 million to continue work on the music school, $772,000 to com- plete the Physics-Astronomy Bidg., $750,000 to complete renovation of the central heating plant, $625,000 to continue renovations of University Hospital, $500,000 to start 'construction of Fluids Engineering Unit II, and planning money for a new dental building and Medical Science Unit II. Michigan State University fared better in the House than in the Senate. The ways and means com- mittee restored $200,000 of the $386,000 cut from MSU's budget by the Senate. The institution's total figure now stands at $32.2 million. The alterations were made in the funds alloted for MSU's ex- tension and agricultural experi- mentation programs. By putting the $200,000 back into the pro- gram, the House gave State a total of $5.2 million for the extension service and the agricultural ex- perimentation station. This is the same amount appropriated last year. Other Appropriations Other appropriations for gen- eral operations in higher educa- tion included $17.6 million for Wayne State University, $5.9 mUl- lion for Western Michigan Uni- versity, $3.7 million for Eastern Michigan University, $3.5 million each for Central Michigan Uni- versity and Michigan College of Mining and Technology, $2.6 mil- lion for Ferris Institute, $1.8 mil- lion for Northern Michigan Uni- versity, and $558,000 for Grand Valley College. Figures on the capital outlay allotments for the other schools also cleared the committee. MSU SRC Suggests New Plan Of Student Participation By GLORIA BOWLES An alternative proposal to a Student Government Council plan for student-faculty government was outlined by the faculty Student Relations Committee yesterday. Reporting to the Senate Advisory Committee on University Af- fairs (SACUA), the group suggested the formation of student com- mittees parallel to committees of the Faculty Senate. The students had asked for appointment to eight major commit- tees of the Faculty Senate. The Senate meets only once a year and . conducts the major portion of its business through the SACUA and its related committees.. DRAMA SEASON'S FIVE SHOWS: Devine, Davis, MCambridge To Star in omedies Andy Devine, Ozzie Davis and Mercedes McCambridge will star in three of the Drama Season's five productions this spring. Devine will star in Paul Osborn's fantasy-comedy, "On Borrowed Time," which involves a boy and his grandfather chasing Death up a tree. Devine has been in motion pictures for 36 years. Davis will perform in his own "Purlie Victorious," a comic-farce about Negroes looking at current problems with Dick Gregory-type humor. Also a Movie Recently running in Chicago, the play has been made into a movie Reciprocal Arrangement The SRC proposal notes that "these student committeesmight then, upon their own request, or upon invitation by the Senate committees, be included in the Committee deliberations," and added, "a similar reciprocity might be extended to members of the Senate committees." Eight SGC members attended the meeting, and in general ob- jected to the SRC suggestion on the grounds that it would only in- crease an already unwieldly stu- dent government bureaucracy.
