LXXIII, No. 99 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1963 SEVEN GENTS SIX PAGES 'U'May Not Offer Delta Merger Bill Niehuss Informs House Committee Can't Meet This Week's Deadline By KENNETH WINTER It appears that the University won't present a bill enabling it to establish a branch at Delta College during this year's Legislature. At a hearing of the House Committee on Education yesterday, Executive Vice-President Marvin L. Niehuss told the legislators that it would be impossible to have any legislation in time for this year's deadline, which falls this week. The committee's inquiry was prompted by a message to the Leg- islature from Delta's Board of Trustees who said it is "possible to es- 'U', Groups View Union Merger Plan By LOUISE LINDT Continuing its deliberations on the desirability of a merger be- tween the Michigan Union and the Michigan League, the Union- League Study Committee during discussion yesterday broke into the open with some clear-cut lines of agreement among most of its members. These lines of agreement at present include: The need to effect a merger between the Union and the League organizations by the creation of a supervisory administrative body of some sort which would con- cern itself with the business oper- ations of what are now the Union and the League plants and which would work closely with the Uni- versity Office of Business and Fi- nance; The need to establish a co-edu- cational board of students whose concern, in the main, would be the management of the student ac- tivities program; Some Kind The need to establish some kind of relationship with the Office of Student Affairs, preferably one in which the role of that office would be an advisory, rather than super- visory one; and The need to make provision for the evolutionary inclusion of oth- er student groups within the struc- ture while first resolving the pri- mary 'problem (that of merger) presently before the committee. These points of agreement evoly- ed during a discussion designed to ascertain some basic philosophy to serve as the pedal point of a first-draft recommendation (pres- ently being considered by a sub- group of the study committee) which will be presented to the Union and League governing boards later this spring. Sub-Group Appointed in mid-January, the sub-group of the committee con- sists of League President Mar- garet Skiles, '63; Union President Robert Finke, '63; member of the League Board Prof. Claribel Baird of the speech department, and member of the Union Board Prof. Richard E. Balzhiser of the chem- ical engineering department. During yesterday's session of the entire committee the question of where to house the proposed co- educational student activities or- ganization arose. Two solutions were offered: the Union building alone and the combined Union and League plants. The second of the two proposals was more popular with the committee members. 4tablish a junior year under their (the University's) supervision this coming September." Although, legally speaking, no formal legislative act would be re- quired tto establish the Delta cam- pus, the University would have to seek an addition to its 1963-64 budget if it intended to annex Delta by next fall. This appropria- tions request was the potential bill in question at the hearing. Rep. Raymond C. Wurzel (R- North Street), committee chair- man, asked Niehuss and Vice-Pres- ident for Academic Affairs Roger W. Heyns if the University was planning to start operations at the thumb-area, college this fall. Nie- huss replied that this is "highly unlikely," and said that "if things go smoothly, we might aim at the fall of 1964." Meanwhile, talks between Uni- versity and Delta officials are con- tinuing, and Niehuss said that, while no formal bill will be sub- mitted this session, "if the two schools reach agreement on a plan this year, we'd like to give it to the Legislature" to seek its reac- tion. Delta officials, however, are seeking faster action. Delta Presi- dent Samuel D. Marble comment- ed, "we need a university now, not in some indefinite future." Though willing to go along with Gov. George Romney's suggestion that his newly-announced "citi- zens' committee" on education make a study of Delta's expansion in a statewide context, Marble ask- ed the Governor "to permit Delta to develop on an interim basis, with the understanding if a new study is made Delta will fit into the findings." The Delta Board's message to the Legislature advocated the Uni- versity-branch plan over an alter- nate proposal endorsed by Wurzel. If Delta, presently a tri-county junior college, becomes a Univer- sity branch, "we believe we can supply $4 million from private sources" to support it, the Board said.I Both Niehuss and Heyns, who have been working the past week to squelch rumors that a final merger agreement has been reach- ed. emphasized that the plans are only in the talking stage and that neither school's governing board has taken action. Conventional Role 'May Well Be Best' OTTAWA (R)-Liberal Leader Lester B. Pearson said yesterday a conventional role "may well be the best" for Canadian forces in the Western Alliance. The country's present role, call- ing for defensive nuclear weapons both at home and in Europe, should be discharged until it is changed in consultation with Can- ada's allies, Pearson said. British Program Approved LONDON ()-Prime Minister Harold Macmillan's government turned back an opposition assault last night and won parlamentary approval of the emergency eco- nomic program he drew up be- cause France blocked Britain's entry into the European Common Market. At the end of a two-day debate in the House of Commons, Mac- millan's Conservatives defeated-a Laborite motion of no confidence, 333-227, and went on to win sup- port of his program, 330-227. The Conservatives have a mar- gin of some 100 votes over their Laborite and Liberal opponents in the house, and had been expect- ed to win the parliamentary tests handily. Was Viewed But the size of the govern- ment's majorities was viewed with surprise because of the opposi- tion's strong attacks and the dis- sension in Conservative ranks over Macmillan's foreign and do- mestic policies. The Laborites charged that the Macmillan government's handling of the Common Market negotia- tions and subsequent develop- ments is threatening the basis of the British economy and the At- lantic Alliance. George Brown, a leading con- tender for the Labor Party leader- ship vacated by the death of Hugh Gaitskell, assailed the govern- ment's action in advising Princess Margaret to cancel a visit to Paris in view of strained British-French relations over the Brussels break- down. Risking Split Brown charged that Macmillan is risking a split in the Atlantic Alliance by "a reckless policy of an insult a day to France." Laborites cheered wildly as Brown declared Britain needs new men at the helm-"untainted with the duplicity, deception and double-dealing universally regard- ed as the hallmark of this ad- ministration." Soviets Close NBC Bureau In Moscow MOSCOW (k-The Soviet gov- ernment yesterday ordered the National Broadcasting Co. to shut down its Moscow Bureau, charg- ing NBC with "a recent series of anti-Soviet broadcasts." One broadcast cited was an NBC documentary titled "The Death of (See Related Story, Page 3) Stalin" broadcast Jan. 27, the other "The Rise of Khrushchev" on Feb. 3. NBC correspondent R u s s e 11 Jones' was called to the foreign office, told to close up shop and leave the country. Jones said he was treated courteously and given assurance that the order was not directed at reporting by himself or Frank Bourgholtzer, who has been the American network's cor- respondent since June, 1961, and is now traveling in Spain. (In New York, NBC President Robert E. Kintner protested in a telegram to Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev and called upon the United States State Department for assistance in bringing about the prompt reestablishment of the bureau.) LSA Keeps Number of Freshmen Constant i., Berle Lands Foreign Policy BURTON D. THUMA .. out-of-state enrollment By BARBARA LAZARUS "The Alliance for Progress pro- gram is a direct contrast to the Communist attack on Latin Amer- ica and offers a positive program for Latin American improvement," Prof. Adolf A. Berle of Columbia University and the William Cook lecturer said yesterday. Prof. Berle said that the Com- munist attack has not reached its full intensity, and it may come later this year or next year. "This attack will be trained and financed in Cuba and will probably be directed against Ven- ezuela and Central America. It could precipitate a crisis even greater than the Cuban affair." Keating's Criticism Commenting on Senator Ken- neth Keating's criticism of the Kennedy administration's policy in the Caribbean, Prof. Berle said that Keating is fairly correct on his facts, and, in general, the ad- ministration agrees with him. Troops are stationed in Cuba, and the real question is what the Unit- ed States is going to do about them. "I don't think that Keating wants to make this a political fight, although it may reach that stage. He is mainly worried about; the safety of the Caribbean." 1 Prof. Berle said that he is in favor of the proposed tax cut and believes the plan is a good one. "It will probably need and getI some revision, but the general con- cept of putting more purchasing DEARBORN: Full Year' Plant Starts" DEARBORN -The University's Dearborn Center will go on a complete year-around operation beginning this summer. The Center, opened in 1959, has operated since on a 12-month schedule in Business Administra- tion and Engineering. Vice-Presi- dent for the Dearborn Center Wil- liam E. Stirton said that "The extension of the LSA program completes the triangle with Busi- ness Administration and Engi-, neering." With the addition of a full sum- mer program, the LSA division will now be complete and stu- dents may, if they desire, attend classes throughout the year and shorten the time necessary to earn degrees. The summer program will be divided into two eight-week parts. The first will correspond to a reg- ular summer session and the sec- ond will extend well into Octo- ber. The second session will in- clude many late afternoon classes for school teachers wishing to further their education and not interfere with teaching. A teacher certification program is also con- ducted by the new LSA division. Course offerings this summer will include mathematics, educa- tion, English, history, psychology, speech, chemistry, economics and. political science. Stirton admitted that the Busi- ness Administration and Engi- neering divisions with their co-op features have attracted more pub- lie interest. "But," he added, "the plans for the Center have always included a strong LSA program and we are pleased to announce its completion." OAS To Dis On Red Teri Out-of-State Ratio, ADOLF A. BERLE . alliance for progress Committee Urges Steps To Revamp Government By ANDREW ORLIN / power into the market, making it turnover faster, is a sound one." Such a Plan Most economists, including the ones who advised former President Dwight Eisenhower during the 1956 recession, favor such a plan. It is very similar to an experiment that has been operating in Japan for the past seven years and which has worked well, he noted. "The subsidiary question of whether the new spending will go into consumer goods or capital ex- penditures will be decided by con- sumers, by either spending their money directly or placing it in banks which will in turn create more capital investment," he not- ed. Viewing the steel industry, Prof. Berle commented that it needs a certain amount of capital over- haul, and it is possible the indus- try can be made more efficient than it is. Less Labor "We could probably get steel more cheaply by using less la- bor. The greatest problem of the economic republic would then be what it is going to do with this ex- cess labor. If there could be a value system shift so that we would want to rebuild cities with greater beauty, it would not only boost the economy, but also'make greater use of talent and individ- ual capacity." In reference to the Federal Aid to Education proposal, Prof. Berle believes that there is no consti- tutional barrier on the federal gov- ernment spending money for pub- lic education. "Federal aid would probably help the school system. The United States is now one large piece of economic'machinery which has be- come more centralized and which makes federal contributions and controls more logical," he explain- ed. Possible Dangers There are possible dangers from this centralization such as decay of local government, a large, cum- bersome bureaucracy and power control from Washington, but all these can be countered by people working hard and insisting on their own individual interests. Evaluating labor unions, Prof. Berle said that they have been increasing in power, but not in membership. He believes that the same thing that happened to busi- ness administrators after 1929 will happen to the union. "In the decades after 1929 the business firms have come to some- thing approaching a professional service. Today the President can intervene in the steel industry, whereas 30 years ago he could not have done this." Smiilar Experience Labor must change its views, or a similar experience will happen to it. Government can weaken un- ion methods by eliminating such things as the checkoff, but it must also investigate why such provi- sions were invented in the first place, he noted. "A climax in the labor situation is slowly building, but no one knows how it will come or how much controversy will result in how the changes are developed." Legislature Had Favored Lower Quota Acting Dean Thuma Says 'U' Tried Holding Minimum Enrollment By DAVID MARCUS The Literary College Executive Committee has decided to hold the line on admissions and out- of-state student ratios for the coming academic year, Acting Dean Burton D. Thuma said yes- terday. Admission of freshmen will re- main constant at about 2200 for next fall with approximately one- third of them out-of-state stu- dents, Dean Thuma said. On the out-of-state student question, Dean Thuma noted that the executive committee felt that "there was no rational basis" for deciding on any particular per- centage of out-of-state students. Therefore, the group decided to maintain the status quo. Agitation There has been considerable agi- tation in the Legislature for re- duction of out-of-state student ra- tios at the University and other publicly supported universities and colleges. He noted that "we are trying to keep enrollment down" because of a combination of budgetary and space problem. In past years, the committee has recommended sta- bility in admissions for several years. However, it has been found in recent years that the percent- age of students who are accepted by the University and then do not come has declined. This has caus- ed an unwanted increase in the enrollment of the University. Last year, the literary college accepted approximately 200 more students than it had wanted, Acute Space Dean Thuma cited an acute space problem that wil only be partially alleviated by the open- ing of the Physics-Astronomy Bldg. this year. Some classroom space in West Physics Bldg. will be converted into office space, al- so some classrooms in Angell Hall mill be used for office space. And some additional clas room space will be used to expand the Mathe- matics Library. Also, there is a need to in- crease faculty salaries in the com- ing year which cannot be met if a substantial number of new fac- ulty is added. "Faculty salaries are skyrocket- ing especially on the lower levels. If we use added money to hire new junior faculty members then we cannot give a pay increase and some faculty will leave. But un- less we add junior faculty mem- bers, we cannot expand, Dean Thuma said. Another problem in maintaining stable enrollment is that students admitted to other colleges often have to take courses in the liter- ary college thus increasing the teaching load, Dean Thuma said. The Committee on the University will urge that Student Govern- ment Council take the preliminary steps in "testing the feasibility of student-faculty government," at tonight's meeting. Included on SGC's heavily crowded agenda is a proposal by the United States National Student Association Committee calling for the direct election of National Student Congress delegates. Also at tonight's meeting, action will probably be taken on last week's motion to change women's hours. The motion on student-fac- ulty government states that the', problem of student and faculty apathy towards current University issues cannot be solved under the present system. The motion mandates the SGC president to seek permission for the appointment of students to eight policy making committees of the University Senate. Meetings between SGC and various faculty and administrative groups are also called for. According to the USNSA com- mittee motion, four delegates will be elected in the fall by the stu- dent body. The other four dele- gates will be appointed by SGC. A motion will also be submitted to Council by the 'special commit- tee set up to decide the criteria for regental candidates. cuss Report oar Activities Soviet Union rejects UN Propositions UNITED NATIONS (1P) - The Russians have rejected three new proposals for paying costs of United Nations peacekeeping op- erations, informants said last night. All three proposals would mean heavier assesments for the United States, which has borne more than 45 per cent of the costs of the U.N. forces in the Congo and the Middle East. The Soviet Union has refused to pay a cent toward these operations. Members of a 21-nation com- mittee studying how to finance the peace machinery said Russian rejection of newt plans was the effect of a speech by Soviet dele- gate Platon D. Morozov at a meet- ing last week. Informants quoted Morozov: "Only imperialists and aggressors" should pay for the two forces be- cause they created the need for them. Sources said the Soviet diplo- mat claimed that to dun all U.N. members for any future peace- keeping operations would be legal only if the money was appropri- ated by the Security Council (where the big power veto rules) rather than by the General As- sembly (which can only recoin- WASHINGTON (R)-A confidential report on Communist activi- ties in the hemisphere, including what one source called a terror campaign to overthrow Latin American governments, will be dis- cussed by the Organization of American States next week.
