VIENTIANE, LAOS ()-Revolting against generals of the
Laotian high command, Brig. Gen. Thao Mao has seized the
airport at Savannakhet in southern Laos, a government official
said yesterday.
Chief of the air force, the 32-year-old general has been
feuding since early last month with the generals. They accuse
him of setting up his own reign at Savannakhet and refusing to
carry out orders.
Thao personally flies and directs bombing missions of U.S.-
built T28 fighter-bombers against Communist forces in Laos and
the Ho Chi Minh Trail supplying the Viet Cong in South Viet
Nam.
Finance Minister Sisouk Nachampassak flew to Savannakhet
on yesterday and met with Thao in an attempt to settle the
crisis. He told reporters on his return that the seizure Thursday
was due to a misunderstanding.
SAIGON (P)-TWO BUDDHIST NUNS burned themselves to
death today in the continuing wave of suicides that have swept
Viet Nam for the past week.
At almost the same predawn hour a 24-year-old nun com-
mitted suicide by fire in front of Saigon's main pagoda and an-
other nun ended her life in flames at Nha Trang, about 200 miles
northeast of Saigon.
The second nun perished in the yard of a Buddhist school at
Nha Trang.
The fiery deaths were part of the Buddhist campaign to bring
about the downfall of the military government of Premier Nguyen
Cao Ky.
SANTO DOMINGO (A)-JUAN BOSCH said last night he will
contest the validity of the presidential Dominican election in
which he suffered a stunning defeat by conservative Joaquin
Balaguer.
He said a commission of lawyers will begin gathering evidence
of fraud to back up his challenge. He urged his backers to be
"calm and confident" until the investigation is completed. He
has until June 10 to make a formal challenge.
LANSING (A)-THE LEGISLATURE cannot prescribe quali-
fications for the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Atty.
Gen. Frank Kelley ruled yesterday, ending a dispute over the
right of newly-appointed Ira Polley to hold the job.
The Michigan Education Association had claimedathat Pol-
ley's background in higher education did not meet a require-
ment of a 1955 state law that the superintendent have five years
of teaching experience.
Kelley ruled that the 1963 constitution, giving the power of
appointment to the new State Board of Education, had taken
away the right of the Legislature to set qualifications for the
position.
FINAL ACTION ON THE UNIVERSITY'S 1966-67 budget re-
quest will be taken in the state Legislature next week. The House
Ways and Means Committee may act on the measure Monday,
with final House approval coming by midnight Wednesday. Then
any differences in the budgets passed by the House and the Sen-
ate will be ironed out in conference by midnight Friday beforej
lawmakers head home for seven weeks of primary election cam-
paigning.
The Senate passed a University appropriation of just under
$58 million April 22, nearly $8 million less than the Regents re-
quested but $1.5 million above Gov. George Romney's recommen-
dation.
Budget trimming, especially in the area of educational ap-
propriations, is expected to be heavy in order to bring total state
spending for the next fiscal year to the area of $970 million to
$985 million. Gov. Romney recommended spending $944.9 million.
At present, prior to the expected cuts, budget bills total $1.02
billion.

COMPREHENSIVE SURVEY:
AA UPFEacdulty Salary Study Ranks
17th Am-ong822 Educatl**inalInstlitui
By JOhN KELLEY
and SHIRLEY ROSICK
"I hate to haggle for salary
When I went into teaching, I
expected not to be bothered
such things."
Despite the sentiments expre s-
ed above by a faculty member o
a leading private university, sal-
aries, like all of a university's lim-
ited resources, will probably al-
ways be haggled for.
In dealing with the subject of
faculty salary, a recent American
Association of University Profes-
sors survey shows that the aver-
age nine-month faculty salary at
the University is $12,482.
This figure makes the Univer-
sity 17th in a field of 822 insti-
tutions who reported salary fig -
ures to the AAUP.
Commenting on this rating, As-
sistant to the Vice-President for
Academic Affairs William Schlat-
ter said that it was very nearly
correctdat present, but that plans
for a general increase in faculty
salaries have been made. Action
by the Legislature on the Univer-
sity's budget will probably deter-
mine if and when this increase
can be put into effect.
The proposed budget for 1966-
67 anticipates an eight per cent'
rise in teaching salaries, with $5.2
miillion of the requested $16.1
million increase in state appro-
pria t ions going for salary inciease
and inflation.]
The salary figure is up from
last year's average of $11,450. On
the AAUP scale which ranges from
AA to E, the University was grad-
ed "A" for the average faculty7
compensa tion, which includes re-!
tiretnent and fringe benefits, and
"B" for minimum compensation
offered.
Both gradings ate improvements,
over last year's standings, with

up from $12,769, and minimuml
compensation in the range of $12,-

Cernan Prepares
For Execution of
Marathon Spacewalk
CAPE KENNEDY (P) - The
eager Gemini 9 pilots caught their
target in the sky yesterday-but
found a space lnkup blocked by
a shroud that made the target
ship look like "an angry alligator"
with its jaws agape.
Instead of docking, the Gemini
pilots separated and rendezvoused
with the target again-then broke
away for the night-setting the
stage for another rendezvous and
a marathon walk in space today.
Command pilot Thomas P. Staf-
ford repeatedly pressed a sugges-
tion that he try to knock the
ociated Press shroud off the target ship with

Cernan met the no-bumping order
with a dejected, "Okay."
For a while they flew in close
formation with the target ship
and gave flight experts a descrip-
tion of the clamshell spunglass
shroud from 10 feet away.
At first, Stafford said he didn't
dare get closer because of the
danger if the shroud were to sud-

Legislature Proposes Colleges
Submit Tuition Figures Early
By MARTHA WOLFGANG
The House Ways and Means
Committee adopted a provision
late yesterday that would commit
state supported colleges and uni-
versities to a specific tuition figure
by January 1 of each year.
Under the bill the school would
be required to state whether or
not it intends to change its tuition
in the forthcoming school year.
If the school says it will make
no change in its tuition, and a
hike occurs after January 1, the
amendment authorizes the State
Administrative board to reduce
the state's monthly payments to
the school in proportion to the size
of the tuition hike.

cified tuition rate.

version of the Higher Education
Bill with the tuition amendment,
the bill will go to a conference
committee from both chambers.,
There the differences in the two
bills will be ironed out.
Faxon Speaks
Rep. Jack Faxon (D-Det) said
yesterday, "We can't force the
schools to hold the line on tuitions,
but we are legally within our
rights to reduce their appropria-
tion by the same amount they
raise tuition."
Under the state constitution, the
colleges and universities are au-
tonomous bodies, and cannot be

believed to be alarmed by the
amendment.
The move was a result of a
committee investigation of a Uni-
versity tuition hike last year. This,
followed what many legislators-
but not the University administra-
tion-considered to be a generousj
hike in appropriations.
Neihuss Argues Back
Executive Vice-President Mar-
vin L. Neihuss explained yesterday
that a fund of close to $250,000
was set aside for students who
indicated that the University's
tuition hike had been a hardship.
Niehuss told the legislators at re-
cent committee hearings that
there was no strife at the Univer-
sity as a result of the increases.

University enrollment, continu-
ing its upward climb, has reached
10,034 for the spring and spring-
summer terms, Edward Groesbeck,
registrar, announced yesterday.
This figure represents an in-
crease of 21.3 per cent over the
same period last spring, when en-
rollment reached 8,300. These
totals include extension students,
but not those at Dearborn and
Flint, still in winter session.
Marked Increases
The figures reveal marked in-
crnases in certain schools. Educa-
tion) school enrollment increased
by 64.9 per cent to 845, social work
school enrollment went up 50.5
per cent to 143, and music school
enrollment jumped 48.6 per cent
to 110.
Groesbeck's figures assign grad-
uate students according to their
field of specialization. There are
6.021 undergraduate, 3,268 grad-
uate, and 745 graduate-profession-
al students taking University
courses this spring. This includes
963 taking extension courses.
The ratio of undergraduates to
graduates, about 60 to 40, is the
same as in the fall and winter
terms, but is above the 50:50 ratio
of summers before the trimester,
indicating the summer trimester
is attracting more undergraduates.
The ratio of men to women, a
little under 2:1, also is about the
same as in the fall, but at 6,675
to 3,359, it could indicate another

size of the summer in relationship:
to the other two semesters.
More for Summer Half
Summer trimester enrollment
has been at or above 50 per cent
of the other two trimesters since
the trimester went into pperation.
Last summer's total enrollment
was over 16,500.
At the rate of growth of the
spring term, the suymmer trimester
might reach 20,000 this year. Fall
enrollment, which has been rising
at about 7 per cent per year, is
projected at about 33,250 next fall.
This would represent an increase
of 6.4 per cent, or 1,983 students.
If total summer enrollment
reaches 20,000, it will be at about
