Rise

in State Appropriation

Foreseen

By LEONARD PRATT
Associate Managing Editor
Lansing sources indicated yes-
terday that a combination of legis-
lative economizing and strong
lobbyist pressures have made vir-
tually impossible a hoped-for
House raise in the University's
appropriation above the $58 mil-
lion given to it by the Senate.
These same House forces ensure
that all the state colleges will have
their appropriations kept down to
the Senate's levels, the sources in-
dicate.
Groups Call
For Unity in
Atlantic Area
Symposium Plans
Advised by Widow
Of Past Governor
By MIKE DITKOWSKY
Mrs. Chase S. Osborn, widow of
a former Michigan governor and
one of the founders and a vice-
president of the International'
Movement for Atlantic Union, was
here yesterday to advise a special
University group that is drawing
plans for a symposium on "The
Atlantic Community,"
Clements Library will be the lo-
cation for a series of talks given
by leading figures from both sides
of the Atlantic on the subject of
Atlantic unity. The symposium
will be part of the huge sesqui-
centennial celebration taking place
in 1967; as the plans are tenta-
tive, speakers have not yet been
chosen or announced.
Revived interest in Atlantic
unity can be seen in light of the
current problems facing NATO,
specifically those posed by France's
go-it-alone policy and what many
people feel is a limited, military
nature of a defense system that
was designed to keep Soviet Com-
munism out of Western Europe.
Goals Listed
The eventual goal of Mrs. Os-
born's group is seeking to trans-
form the present NATO alliance
into a responsible federal union
in which Mrs. Osborn sees a
worldwide return to order, "and
the preservation and extension of
peace, individual freedom, and a
happier sharing of the comforts'
of human life,"
A recent report composed by a
National Planning Association ad-
vanced arguments similar to those
held by Mrs. Osborn's group and
others who are favorable toward
a unification of Atlantic nations'
into a federal community with a
single foreign and defense policy.
The Planning Association state-
ment says the "American people'
have turned their backs upon ...
the intensely nationalistic doc-
trines of (French) President de
Gaulle . , . but they are facing up
too slowly to the positive require-
ments for attaining the kind of
eventual world order they desire.",
It states that a union of de-
mocracies starting with the NATO
countries would leave the way
open for other countries later and
would outperform NATO as a
guard against aggression and
would stimulate growth in the
West.
The Association report suggest-
ed three possible approaches to,
bringing about the union, which
would be headed by a supra-na-
tional executive and legislature:
-A treaty like the treaty of
Rome which set up the European
Community, the six-nation Com
mon Market;
-Creation of a commission of
outstanding leaders from the
various NATO countries and
-A convention similar to the

Constitutional Convention of 1787
which drafted the constitution
creating the United States.
Legislative Support
An Atlantic union resolution
currently has the support of about
100 Democrats and Republicans,
but the State Department opposes
the move as impractical.
The bipartisan Atlantic union
resolution now before Congress
calls for a Convention of NATO
nations "to explore the possibility
on:
-a declaration t h a t their
"eventual goal" is to transform
the alliance into a "federall
union;"
-a "tentative timetable" for
. the transition to it and

On the economizing side, the
limits arise from a "gentleman's
agreement" between House speak-
er Joseph Kowalski (D-Detroit)
and Senate Appropriations Com-
mittee chairman Garland Lane
(D-Flint), the Legislature's two
finance chiefs, to limit next year's
state budget to $960 million.
The state budget was $870 mil-
lion this year, and Gov. George
Romney had recommended a bug-
get of $945 million for next year.
The $960 million figure is gen-
erally regarded in Lansing as less

than is necessary and is reportedly
causing a good deal of budget cut-
ting on many state projects.
Yet by itself this figure would
not necessarily have meant the
heavy losses for the state colleges
which now appear certain. (The
University, for example, had
orignially asked for $65 million;
it is thus suffering a loss of
around $7 million.)
Senate Bill 780 is the other
factor that is cutting heavily into
the education money which is left
in the budget after enough cuts

are made to hold its total below
$960 million.
Introduced by Lansing's Catholic
lobby, the bill prov ides $4.3 million
for tuition grants to students of
private colleges next year.
It provides for around $200 per
student per year, on a graduated
scale. The proposal differs from
other state scholarship programs
in that it does not require a com-
petitive examination, but merely
a test of financial need-family
income compared with the institu-
tion's tuition.

It has been strongly backed not
only by the Catholic lobby but by
almost all other small private col-
leges in the state. "The members
of the House Ways and Means
Committee have been receiving an
average of 50 letters apiece daily
supporting the bill." a source
commented.
The Ways and Means Commit-
tee yesterday voted 9-1 to send
the bill to the House today. It
is reported almost certain to pass.
SB 780's principal advocate, Rep,
William Ryan (D-Detroit) says

the bill is intended to help both
the student and the private school.
He notes that the enrollments at
the private schools have fallen by
some 40 per cent in the last five
years.
Its few attackers have argued
that the bill's greatly expanding
yearly costs-though only costing
$4.3 million next year it will cost
some $16 to $20 million when it
completes its four-year phase-in
period-make it almost seem
something for nothing.
They have also charged that 'it

for 'U
is a "foot in the door for the
small colleges" which can now,
they say, be expected to raise their
tuition to take advantage of the
state funds available to them.
The combination of the two
forces, budget limitation and the
extra drain on education funds,
has meant that the legislators
are cutting up a much smaller pie
for the state-supported univer-
sities than they would be other-
wise.
The University's slice is $58
million.

At the height of the five-hour fracas, the rampaging crowd
of students swelled to about 1,000, engaged mostly in "good
natured running around, making a lot of noise," said Richard
0. Bernitt, MSU director of public safety.
Although four Lansing-area police agencies were called in to
help, Bernitt said no arrests were made.
Bernitt said some students threw rocks and water-filled
balloons at police, but no officer was injured. He said damage to
MSU property was minor.
Students apparently were letting off steam in the midst of
MSU's final examination period, Bernitt said.
A continuation last night of the "rampage," as news wires
have been terming it, brought campus and East Lansing police to
bring 500 students under control.

CENTICORE BOOKSTORE SUPPLIES ITSELF with books for the "scholarly' bookbuyer.

Centicore: Unpretentious Store
For the 'Scholarly' Bookbuyer

By SUSAN SCHNEPP
Beneath the mass of steel and
plaster shaped into the look-alike
apartments known as University;
Towers there lies a bookstore,
small and unpreteitious.
Its wood-paneled shelves are
stacked for browsing and its col-'
onial end-tables are piled high'
with literary newspapers and an!
occasional book, momentarily for-
gotten by a clerk or customer.
H e 1 p f u l clerks move easily
among the shelves in search of
a requested book, chatting inter-
estedly with the customers.
C(asual Yet Busy
It all blended into a casual yet
busy atmosphere as Russell Greg-
ory, manager and co-ownr, and
I sipped Cokes and hie told me the
story of Centicore.
Centicore does not sell textbooks
of any kind, he explained, but is
a "scholarly" bookstore stocked
with books which are "collateral
to or go along with regular

Centicore stocks a large selection
of foreign books, especially in
French and German, and a nearly
complete Loeb library of Greek
and Latin books.
People in the Ann Arbor area
are interested in scholarly mate.-
rials. Gregory said, and Centicore
is patronized by many faculty
members and graduate students as
well as undergraduates.
Customers are often as impor-
tant sources of information about
new books and publishing dates
as the publishers themselves,
Gregory said, and customers many
inus ask for books while they are
still being printed as magazine
servials.
Current Stock
Centicore tries to get books, es-
pecially those on current popular
subjects like Viet Nam or LSD, as
soon alter they are published as
possible, Gregory explained.
Speaking of books in general,
Gregory said that contrary to the
popular belief that libraries are

Current reading trends show a
return of classics to a popularity
they have not enjoyed since the
'?0s, Gregory said. Drama is a
big seller too, he continued, par-
ticularly .European playwrights
that have become popular since
Vorld War II, such as Brecht and
Genet.
Theatre Sets Trends
This might partly be attributed
to the theatre groups on campus,
Gregory said. Also, a few faculty
members can make a big differ-
ence in the trend, he added.
The most popular authors of the
past year have been Marshall Mc-
Luhan, author of Understanding
Media, and Harvey Cox, author!
of The Secular City. Despite the
current popularity of the "God is
dead" movement, an amazing
number ofeserious theological
books are being sold today, he
said.

"And we don't want to change

Which is probably a major fac-

Overall Considerations
The legislators were concerned
with keeping the overall state
budget under $1 billion. This has
forced the committees to cut many
of the schools requests.

Gov. George Romney recom-
mended a $944.9 million budget.
His aides, however, indicated that
the governor would be pleased
with $960 million. It has been re-
puted that the legislators were
j contemplating a figure reaching
$1.019 billion six weeks ago.
Lansing sources indicate that
the House, when it reconvenes to-
morrow, may approve a line item
appropriation for the sophomore
class at the University's Flint
Campus.
This may indicate a growing leg-
islative readiness to support the
University's Flint branch. The
Flint Branch has been the sub-
ject of spirited controversy for the
last several years.
Sources also indicate that the
House will pass the Mental Health
Bill sometime tomorrow. This bill
will include appropriations of close
to a million dollars for the Uni-
versity's Mental Health Research
Institute, and money for the
Neuro-Psychiatric Institute.
