A long-range decline in the ath- letic revenues which have support- ed them in the past, plus a large long-term drain - the University Events Building now under con- struction - are the crux of the problem, the sources say. IM sports are administered by the Department of Physical Edu- cation and Athletics under a Re- gents by-law which gives the de- partment jurisdiction over "the required work in physical educa- tion for men and women, intra- mural sports, recreational activi- ties. . .' These activities are financed by the department which, in turn, obtains its money from its Board in Control of Intercollegiate Ath- letics, a faculty - alumni - student body charged with administering the University's intercollegiate athletic teams. This board, which obtains the gate receipts from all University sports events, has long been a department money-maker. In this sense, the intercollegiate branch of the department, con- trolled by the intercollegiate ath- letics board, has almost totally fi- nanced the intramural program as it has developed over the years. The board spent some $1.5 mil- lion on the Women's Pool and has built and now maintains Palmer Field and the IM Building itself. It also purchased Wines Field and pays for most of the equipment used by the IM and physical edu- cation programs. All this is governed by another Regents by-law calling on the board to devote surplus funds from intercollegiate sports to "the fur- ther support of the various pro- grams and activities carried on within the department. .." Over the years, the IM program at the University - unlike any other Big Ten IM program-has thus become entirely dependent upon the University's intercolleg- iate sports. The problem now is that the University's intercollege sports are becoming less and less able to sup- port it. As one member of the athletics board put it, "We're in a tight belt situation for the for- seeable future." There are two basic reasons for the board's sud- den demise as a money-maker for the department. First, intercollegiate athletics are becoming more and more ex- pensive. Coaching salaries are ris- ing, travel costs are on the way up and athletic scholarships are also subject to a certain degree of inflation. Yet at the same time the revenue they bring is fairly constant. Second, the department has committed itself to the construc- tion of the new $6.7 million Events Building. $5.8 million of this was bonded, but the department still has to pay the extra $900 thousand plus the interest on the bonds, which run for a period of 25 years. No help is available from the Uni- versity's $55 Million Fund Drive; only some $47 thousand has been pledged to the Events Building, and half of that is earmarked for the furnishing of a special alumni reception room. Both these factors means the board's operating reserve has been reducedto a very low level. Ad- ministrators stress that it isin no real sense in trouble with either the Events Building or intercolleg- iate sports. But its finances for expansion are nonexistent. Yet the IM program has needed additional money for a long time. As enrollment has risen, and as the trimester has become a reality, more facilities have been needed to accommodate the crush of users. IM administrators cite the need for a new IM building, more fields for the Central Campus and IM facilities on North Campus which, despite the completion of Cedar Bend dormitories scheduled for the fall, has none. At the same time they stress they cannot move at all without athletic board money. While board members say they can finance the IM program at its present level, all deny their ability to expand it at all. The athletic board has recently been sending out appeals to find help in supporting the IM pro- gram. Prof. Stuart Churchill, a faculty member of the board, spoke to the April meeting of the Senate Advisory Committee on University Affairs-then the cen- tral body of the Faculty Senate- and reportedly urged them to con- sider the problem. A SACUA mem- bers says the meeting questioned whether the athletics board should in fact still be charged with sup- porting the IM program. H. O. Crisler, department direc- tor, says simply that the depart- ment has made "University peo- ple aware of the situation" and can do little else than wait for someone to come up with an answer. Other department officials say openly that the University's cen- tral administration has been asked to take over the IM program di- rectly-for example, to support it with student fees, instead of gate receipts, as is. done at other col- leges-to free athletic department money. No administrators report the existence of any concrete plans for a solution. Faculty Terms Committee on Residential College Suggested Cutbacks nacceptable Draft Exams Opposed by 'U Students Voice To Administer Substitute National Viet Nam ExaminationI By BETSY COHN Last evening's meeting of VOICE political party, the Univer- sity's local chapter of Students for a Democratic Society, focused on' two major issues: the March to Washington, SundayhMay 15, and # the National Viet Nam Examina- tion to be given at the same time as the Selective Service Examina- tion. The latter issue took precedence and time as the members present discussed their treatment of the Viet Nam exam being distributed by the national office of SDS and Inter-University Committee for Debate on Foreign Policy. Saturday, May 14, the Selective1 Service examination will be given to students in the NaturalbScience Auditorium. Simultaneously, SDS members will administer their ex- amination in the Chemistry Audi- torium to those students not tak- ing the exam. The National Viet Nam Exami- nation is not being presented as. an alternative to the government, examination, but rather, as an ideological protest and a more eth-! ical approach to the means ofI draftee selection. The purpose of, the test is educational as well. Questions are posed in terms of multiple choices: such as "Match the quotations below with the au- thor . . ." 'I have only one (hero): Hitler'" Among nine choices are late President Kennedy, President Johnson, Nguyen Cao Ky, premier of South Viet Nam and Ho Chi Minh, premier of North Viet Nam. Another question used is, "If the approximately $13 billion the U.S. is expending this year to pros- ecute the war in Viet Nam were distributed equally among the Vietnamese people, how much would each receive?" (Four choic- es are given.) "We feel that the Selective Serv-I ice examination violates demo- cratic principles by limiting itself to the college group which consists1 mainly of the middle class or above. Secondly, it lawfully forces those who morally oppose the war to undergo examination. Further- more, the questions asked in the government exam are totally ir- relevant to the purpose of the exam," concluded Locker. The test will also be administer- ed 2:30 Saturday in the Natural Science Aud. to those having just completed the Selective Service exam.

Government spokesmen said the move was prompted by the kidnaping of two officials last week. Two other persons were slain during the abduction. A 30-day limit was set on the state of siege, a modified form of martial law. Earlier Mendez Montenegro, leader of the leftist, non-Com- munist Revolutionary party, was elected president by deputies for a four-year term. TWO MICHIGAN DAILY writers received $250 awards from the Detroit Press Club Foundation for articles that appeared in last summer's Daily. Executive Editor' Bruce Wasserstein, '67, won for a story predicting a tuition increase. Philip Sutin, '66 Grad, national concerns editor for The Daily in 1963-64, won for an 11-part series picturing student activism at the University since 1960. Eight undergraduate awards and 14 professional honors were presented in the first annual writing contest. UNIVERSITY SCIENTISTS pronounced as a success the launching of a huge, high-altitude research balloon at Palestine, Tex., on Monday. Prof. Frederick L. Artman, project engineer in charge of the experiment held Sunday at Palestine, said the flight allowed scientists to test a series of instruments to be used on satellites. The instruments are designed to measure temperatures of the earth and other planets. REP. ADAM CLAYTON POWELL (D-NY) said yesterday he had received unverified information that Central Intelligence Agency personnel were associated with the University of Pennsyl- vania and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Powell made the assertion in announcing an investigation by the staff of the House Education and Labor Committee, which he heads, of CIA contacts with Michigan State University, pre- viously reported. Max Millikan, director of the MIT Center of International Studies, said the college would reluctantly drop research con- tracts with the CIA because they were subject to misinterpreta- tion. Millikan said "there never was a secret" about the contracts, which were for research on international developments, particu- larly Communism and Communist China. SEN. EDWARD LONG (D-Mo) said Monday the search for a site for a $375 million atom smasher has turned out to be "a miserable deception." He told the Senate that the six sites remaining for con- sider.tion by the Atomic Energy Commission are "seriously in- adequate." At the same time, Long called on the AEC for a "complete review of all proposed sites-not just these six." Sites still in the running, gleaned from more than 200 orig- inally offered, are Ann Arbor; Brookhaven, N.Y.; Chicago; Den- ver; Madison, Wis.; and Sacramento, Calif. Long asserted that the six sites "failed to meet the basic physical requirements which the commission itself set forth last year." Long said the National Academy. which chose the six sites. Oppose Proposal T Construct Separate (JLass. Office Units The acceptance of proposed architects' changes In the residen- tial college "would seriously Jeop- ardize the successful future" of that college. a faculty committee has reported. The residential college faculty planning committee based the re- jection of plan changes on three principles: 1) that "the residential college is first and foremost a place for experimentation in teaching and learning, student-faculty dialogue, and residential community:" 2) that "facilities must be at- tractive, comfortable and useful enough to maintain student loy- alty;" and 3) that "since the college comn- munity will be to some extent iso- lated, it will require some facili- ties that might otherwise not be needed." One of the major changes calls for two separate classroom and office buildings. Faculty plans included having both classes and offices in one building. An integration of the two, they feel, encourages student- faculty association. Having two such buildings, such as Haven andj Mason Halls, discourages students from seeking out faculty, they be- lieve. Having two separate buildings results in a monetary saving be- cause classrooms require high ceil- ings while offices do not. To give offices high ceilings in a combined classroom - office building would waste space. Another change involves the basement area. Under the new plans this space isbcut by about I half. Game and hobby rooms and other rooms planned for the base- ment have therefore been cut or greatly reduced. The faculty's complaint is that if the cut seg- ment of the basement is not exca- vated they will never be able to3 use that area. Other changes reduce the lounge and seminar rooms in the resi- dence halls. The architects also plan removing clasrooms from the housing units that had them, sub- stituting combined class and pub- lic rooms. Architects have planned the] elimination of a bookstore conces- sion, and a snack bar. The com- mittee wants these so that stu- dents will not have to go to the central campus area for every- thing. Additional changes include the elimination of: -informal recreation areas; -a "fishbowl" type area; MAO SEEN IN PUBLIC.

CALIFORNIA CONVOCATION: Kerr Backs 'Cluster Coli $.5 Million Cuts Called Excessive Faculty Seeks Chance To Re-instate Changes Requested by Regents By MIC AEL HF1'FER The residential college faculty planning committee has informed the administration that they find proposed architects' changes in the college's building plans unaccept- able. Their action casts doubt on the fate of the residential college. The faculty noted that while "many desirable features of ear- lier plans" have been retained in e new, cost-saving plans, "the jcommittee cannot recomm~end ac- ceptance" of the changes, "since so many features of the residential college that the committee deems essential have been eliminated." - -Associated Press Assistant Dean Burton D.

"The crisis of the university is limited primarily to undergradu- ates primarily in the humanities and sciences," Kerr said. Kerr said "there is no crisis in professional schools" because these students have clear vocational alms, the curriculum isadesigned to further their aims, and the schools generally are small enough to maintain a feeling of individ- uality. 'Cluster College' Kerr advocated a "cluster col- lege," a relatively small and broad- ly oriented undergraduate college within a university, as a feasible solution. "The cluster college to be ef- fective should be reasonably small in size, have a broadly oriented curriculum, and possess its own separate identity," Kerr said. "The broad curriculum will serve the student with general interests. The separate administrative iden- tity will make possible a specialized study. It will provide a more inti- mate group that can treat each student and faculty member as a unique individual," he said. Kerr based his remarks on the success of a new, residential-col- lege type unit at Santa Cruz.
