rtwo TIHE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY, MAY 24, 1961 Profile: Perry Morton 'SPLIT' SEMESTER PLAN: Commission Asks Full Year Operation EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the th in a series of profiles on the ders of major student organiza- is.) By THOMAS KABAKER Magazine Editor he Michigan Union is an out- or students interested in sup- enting their education through allege activity which would ide leadership and managerial rience." rry W. Morton, former presi- of the Michigan Union adds return the Union to its former1 high status in the eyes of thet campus., "We have just taken the 'first steps to correct this. The survey we are working on would be a point of departure for adapting programs to most current campus needs. This is important because a lot of people felt the Union would continue regardiess of what, people thought, but in my mind the only way to justify existence of the Union would be the vigor-, ous executing of its purposes. Wants To Serve; "The Union basically wants to serve the student body. It tries to do things in the campus interest and cannot stand still. It wants to keep up with the student inerest whatever it may be. While the changes the Union makes might dislocate people, they may also serve a greater number of other students. We wish to serve as many students as possible in the best way we can." A the head of one of the Uni- versity's major student activities. Perry has had to divide his time between the Union and Student Government Council, while pre- paring for legal studies at lar- vard this fall. He sees the role of the ex of- ficios on SGC as "one of provid- ing stability and continuity and a -primarily campus orientation to a somewhat flexible and fluid group." Ex Officios He also notes that "an idea might come up at the Council that SGC would be unable to Imple- ment. So getting the ideas from SGC, the ex officios can take them back to their organizations which have a better chance for imple- menting them." "Supposedly the ex officio must represent his own views. I know I did, but these views must be in each member's own conception of what is best for the University. The individual must divorce him- self from his organization, though this is hard to do in the campus eyes, for the purpose of all ac- tivities as they come together is one-serving the University. Focal Point "In fact while serving the cam- pus, they can lead it. Student Government Council is the focal point for what the campus wants. It can give these needs and de- sires an organization and there- fore lead it. I feel this is impor- tant for one of the main purposes of SGC is to express student opin- ion, and you cannot afford to for- get the students' ideas. "On this campus I am a conser- vative, but there is a more liberal attitude here than normal. For ex- ample, it would seem to me that it would be improper to override or ignore methods already existing in order to get a problem solved. "For example, if I want more liberal driving regulations, instead of simply complaining, I would instead sit down and work out a satisfactory solution with all the parties involved. In this way you can get more done and do it in a better way. Another Example "Or another example of this is the sit-ins. I cannot see advocating disobedience of the laws. Instead these people should work through the NAACP or someone who is sup- posed to work with this kind" of problem. "I also can't see putting virtually everything that comes along with- in the public domain before SGC. Even in the case of bias clauses I don't think the Council has the right to examine every little detail of the constitutions of fraternities and sororities which are, after all, private organizations. "And I certainly can't see SGC examining the rituals of these groups. The problem of being ab- solutely sure that'these groups do not discriminate cannot be solved. SGC can only go as far as the rules of these groups will permit it to. 'Primarily Educational' "Along this same line, I think SGC's function is primarily edu- cational and not punitive. When you are working with these groups you must realize that things are going to take a few years to change. There should be no arbi- trary time limits for the removal of bias clauses. "The Council should work with and educate these groups to a bet- ter way of life. The bias clause problem is a many faceted one. You cannot change things over- night. "Many of these groups are go- ing to have problems with their alumni, and some fraternities and sororities have a great many chap- ters in'the South." "Council's Future" As for the future of the Coun- cil, Perry says that "so long as it does not go too far out of bounds and is not too removed from the Campus interest and work in an acceptable method the SGC has a good future ahead of it. "The members of the group can- not afford to blindly follow doc- trine. They must be able to com- promise in order to reach a solu- tion that will be acceptable to all segments of the University. 9° (Continued from Page 1) "The new plan is a real godsend: to graduate students who make up 40 per cent of the enrollment. They can complete their education in a much shorter time." He also said that undergraduate students could take advantage of the calendar and that the extra semester "can easily become a normal and formal part of the reg- ular student's educational pro- gram." Cautions Student The commission report, however, cautioned that "each student should proceed at the pace best suited to him. The program should be sufficiently flexible to permit the acceleration of exceptionally motivated, able, mature individu- als, while providing for an even slower rate of progress for those students for whom such a program would be desirable." The eight - man group, whose recommendations were unanimous, stressed the necessity for increased state appropriations to effect the calendar change. The expanded enrollment will require a growth in the size of the teaching staff. Planning for a gradual transi- tion into the "split" semester, the commission recommended a five- step process: Starts Next Year 1) Introducing a pre-registra- tion and pre-classification plan for students by next year; 2) Integrating the present sum- mer session into the new pattern as a regular half-semester in the same year; 3) Advancing the 'start of the fall and spring semesters that fol- lowing September; First Half 4) Inaugurating the first half of the third term on "a modest basis" in 1963-64, and 5) Achieving a fully integrated, year-round program by 1965. Pointing out that the number of Michigan youths reaching col- lege age will jump an estimated 37, per cent in that year, the commis- sion said "the increasing number of young people in need of the educational services available at the University and the changing attitudes of the student body to- ward residence at the University dictate that year-round operation should be fully implemented" by then. Flexible Schedule From an economic viewpoint, flexible year-round schedules will make it easier for students to obtain jobs, help finance : their college education and start regu- lar employment after graduation, the Commission reported. The calendar plan calls for re- tention of semester long periods because they provide "an efficient and educationally sound plan which can be achieved while pre- serving the basic instructional unit which the University has developed over a long period of time." The added teaching loads could be carried chiefly by the present faculties, Prof. Haber said, "but that doesn't mean they should be." Younger Faculty Prof. Haber commented that younger faculty men, whose chil- dren are in elementary and sec- Bellow To Give Hopwood Tall Novelist Saul Bellow will give the annual Hopwood writing con- test lecture at 4:15 p.m. Thursday in Rackham Lecture Hall. Creative writing awards for the contest will be announced at that time. Prof. Arno L. Bader of the English department will present awards in drama, essay, poetry and .fiction. Bellow, who is the author of five books, four novels and one collection of short stries, will speak on "Where do We Go from Here? -The Future of Fiction." ondary schools until late June year-round plans" that he (when the first half of the "split" seen. had semester ends), might want to teach an extra semester. Niehuss said that full - time teaching on a continuing basis by individual faculty members would not be part of the plan. But they might be allowed to teach continu- ously for a while in order to earn a longer vacation period. The proposed calendar is simi- lar to one adopted by the Univer- sity of California last year. The California plan includes earlier spring and fall semesters, but of- fers only a 12-week 'split' summer session. Lauds Group President Hatcher praised the Commission, saying, "The Univer- sity is indebted to the commission for a splendid report, reached after the most carefud considera- tion. "The commission's work is an outstanding example of the Uni- versity's sincere effort continually to improve its program, to achieve new peaks of excellence in higher education. "The University has tradition- ally provided the highest quality of instruction at maximum effec- tiveness for its students and the people of Michigan. The commis- sion's report promises to continue this tradition in the future." Power also called the report a "fine report, a good job," praising the commission's inquiry into all the various ramifications of the plan. Best Plan Niehuss called the split summer session program "the best of the I' Confess Reluctance The commission confessed its reluctance and skepticism of the beginning of the examination of calendaring alternatives, but com- pleted its work "convinced" of the necessity of year-round operation. Commission members included Professors Stuart W. Churchill, of the engineering college; H. R. Crane, of the physics department; Robert E. Doerr, of the dentisty school; Algo D. Henderson, direc- tor of the Center for the Study of Higher Education; Warner 6. Rice, chairman of the English de- partment; L. Hart Wright, of the law school, and Stephen H. Spurr, of the school of natural resources, who was executive secretary. PERRY MORTON ...
