ACE SCHOOL SURVEY: MAY HAVE MISSED POINT See Editorial Page Y ilkt Cigaui aUil SHOWERS High-74 Low-57 Thundershowers, fair and cooler tonight Seventy-Five Years of Editorial Freedom VOL. LXXVI NO. 15S ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, TUESDAY, MAY 24, 1966 SEVEN CENTS FOUR PAGES UT' Among Leaders in Gra"duate By MEREDITH EIKER The University of California at Berkeley has been declared the r "best balanced distinguished uni- versity" in graduate education by a nationwide survey, An Assess- ment of Quality in Graduate Edu- cation, which the American Coun- cil on Education released over the weekend. However, had engineer- ing been omitted from the study, Harvard would clearly have emerged as first. The University here appeared among the leading group in three of the five general categories surveyed-humanities, social sci- ences, biological sciences, physical sciences, and engineering - along with Columbia, Illinois, Yale, Princeton, and California Institute of Technology. Harvard and Stan- ford were listed in four of these divisions while MIT, Chicago, and Wisconsin were noted in two. The report, which has been in preparation for two years, is bas- ed on an opinion poll of more than 4000 university department chairmen, professors, deans, and other top administrators. Begun in 1964, the survey assesses the comparative quality of 29 aca- demic disciplines within the 106 major universities which produce 90 per cent of all doctorates. Dr. Allan M. Cartter, vice-presi- dent of the American Council on Education and director of the study, declined to name the "top five" or "top 10" graduate schools. "Universities do not make com- mitments in all fields," he said, "and therefore they should not be judged on a simple average of their departmental ratings." The survey, however, allows for several conclusions: -Excellence carries an expen- sive price tag. The top-ranking universities averaged $14,700 in annual faculty compensation, com- pared with $9,500 in the low- ranking institutions. - Departmental strength is closely linked with the quantity of publication by faculty members. The 10 most productive depart- ments of economics, for example, accounted for 56 per cent of all publications reviewed during a four year period. -Research libraries are a pre- requisite for all-around quality. Collections among the top insti- tutions ranged from 1.3 million to 8 million volumes. Also, the Eastern Seaboard was found to be maintaining its strong academic lead, followed by the Midwest and Far West. While no Southern university has yet achieved a prominent place in the report's judgment, the survey stat- ed that the South might make "the greatest advance in institu- tional quality in the next decade or two." The great importance of the survey, however, lies in the con- fidential reports on their own uni- versities which will be given to the presidents and deans of each of the 106 participating universi- ties. These will have more detailed information than will be publish- ed in the report available to the public. Foreseeing the probability of aca- demic controversy, Logan Wilson, president of the council, said that "the findings themselves will please some and displease others. In any such discussions it will be recognized, I trust, that this in- quiry was not undertaken either to soothe or disturb academic egos." Wilson continued that the study- was not intended "merely to sup- ply a conversation piece in col- lege and university circles," but rather to "effect improvement, a first step (being) to appraise ex- isting strengths and weaknesses." The American Council of Edu- cation, founded in 1918, is a non- governmental organization estab- lished to advance education and strengthen educational quality and prestige through cooperative ac- tion. Its annual meeting brings to- gether the nation's leading col- lege and university presidents. It supports or opposes proposed legislation affecting education, speaks for its members on such issues as academic freedom or the government's role in higher edu- cation, and publishes research and reference material. In the past the council has taken a lead in efforts to stamp out diploma mills. It has publish- ed guides to young people inter- ested in college teaching. More re- cently, it has taken an interest in training future educational admin- istrators. Cartter, in directing the study for the council, said, "The edu- cational community has been ac- cused of fostering 'a conspiracy of silence' concerning qualitative as- pects of higher education; per- school haps this study and its possible successors will help to belie that view." He said too, though, that the study was only concerned with graduate education and therefore did not represent a judgment of undergraduate excellence. Many top-ranking colleges do not offer Ph.D. studies and consequently were not included in the assess- ment. Moreover, many critics have charged that emphasis on gradu- ate education tends to hurt the quality of undergraduate instruc- tion. Cartter as well anticipated pos- sible criticism of the report as being based on subjective opin- ions rather than objective or fixed yardsticks. To this he answered: "The present study is a survey of informed opinion. The opin- ions sought are what in a court of law would be called 'the testi- mony of expert witnesses'-those persons who teach in each field, ,Survey who are well-qualified to judge." Such judgments of scholars across the country were based on responses to questions including, "How would you rate the institu- tions below if you were selecting a graduate school to work for a doctorate in your field today?" Taking into account "the accessi- bility of faculty and their scholar- ly competence, curricula, educa- tional and research facilities, and the quality of graduate students," the University was found to be "distinguished" in the categories of humanities, social sciences, and biological sciences. It also ranked among the 10 leaders in 20 of the 29 disciplines surveyed: classics, French, philos- ophy, Spanish, anthropology, eco- nomics, geography, history, politi- cal science, sociology, botany, pharmacology, physiology, psy- chology, zoology, astronomy, and chemical, civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering. Attendance 1I Down at 2nd Draft Test Officials Say Light Turnout Result of Hershey's Statement I WASHINGTON UPI-Some; school officials say the light turn- out for the second session of the draft deferment quiz may be a re- sult of draft director Lewis B. Hershey's statement that few col- legians actually will be drafted. About 250,000 students had been expected to take Saturday's exami- nation. Considerably fewer showed up at testing centers in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the Pan- ama Canal Zone At the first session May 14,j 4 about 400,000 students took the three-hour, 150-question test. But Len. Gen. Hershey, Selec- tive Service director, told a re- porter last week in Dallas, Tex.,} that few if any college studentsI will be drafted unless the monthly draft quota jumps over 30,000I men. Hershey said there are enough nonstudents and college dropouts to fill current military needs. Next month's quota was set at 15,000 men and the list has jumped over 30,000 only twice this year, in January and in May. One official who linked the light turnout to Hershey's speech was James C. Windsor, dean of stu- dents at Christopher Newport College, Newport News, Va., where only five of a scheduled 222 took the test. Windsor said he believed Her- shey's statement plus the civil. war in South Viet Nam and a gen- eral vagueness concerning the test's effectiveness "has put a negative tone on the whole thing," There also was a light turnout of demonstrators against the draft and the Viet Nam war. Realtively quiet demonstrations occurred at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Stanford University in California, Oberlin College in Ohio and St. Vincent's College in Pennsylvania. Two per-, sons were arrested at SMU and charged with unauthorized distri- bution of printed matter. The final tests will be givenj June 3 and 14.k "Apparently the students found something else to do Saturday morning," said James C. Windsor, dean of students at Christopher Newport College, Newport News, Va. "We were all ready but they just didn't come."

LANSING (A)-JUNE 1 IS THE DEADLINE for applying for the final test in the current series for college deferments, State Selective Service headquarters said yesterday. The test may be taken by any registrant 18 or older who in- tends to ask occupational deferment as a college student. Results will be reported to his local board. The makeup test is scheduled for any registrants who were late in applying for the first series of tests or for others who wish to take the tests now. Applications can be requested from any local Selective Service board. The applications must be postmarked no later than June 1. About 60,000 Michigan students took the first series of tests held in May and June, Selective Service officials said. WAShINGTON TP -DEMOCRATIC MEMBERS of the Mich- igan congressional delegation have written President Johnson in support of a proposed site near Ann Arbor for a huge atom smasher. The 200 billion electron volt-proton accelerator laboratory is estimated to cost some $375 million if and when it is authorized by Congress. The National Academy of Science has narrowed more than 200 site proposals to six, including the one near Ann Arbor, after a study authorized by the Atomic Energy Commission. TheI others are in California, Colorado, Illinois, New York and Wis- consin. THE MICHIGAN CONSTRUCTION SAFETY Commission began an investigation yesterday into the collapse Thursday of a $2 million parking garage under construction near University Hospital. Allan W. Harvey, commission director, said Ray Lepola, an inspector from Detroit, would conduct the inquiry. A preliminary investigation by University officials and con- tractors on the project indicated Friday that "high level gusts of wind funnelling down through the building" led to its collapse.I James F. Brinkerhoff, University director of plant extension, said the pillars in the structure had not been braced. He said it was "not normal practice" to use braces in such cases. WASHINGTON (P)-FOOD AND DRUG Commissioner James L. Goddard said yesterday his agency is making the drug LSD aj prime target of the new drug abuse control law. "It is our clear intention to move vigorously against those who manufacture or distribute LSD, or possess significant quantities of the drug which could be sold or otherwise distributed," Goddard said. "These will be our prime targets in coming months as we begin to exercise this new enforcement authority," Goddard told the Senate subcommittee on juvenile delinquency. Vigorous Anti-War Demonstrators Give Comfort to Enemies PITTSBURGH P-Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara de- fended Sunday student protests against U.S. policy in Viet Nam even though he said they give comfort to the enemy. "However, much as we may dis- agree with some aspects of it, we can be genuinely proud that free discussion is so vigorous on the American campus today," McNa- mara said. The secretary spoke at com- mencement ceremonies of Chat- ham College as about 130 sign- carrying pickets walked outside chanting, "End the war in Viet Nam, bring the troops home." Serious Protest In remarks studded with his- torical allusions, McNamara said! that campus complaints and pro- tests are not really so very new. "Of course, there is a serious di- mension to the protest among some students today," he said. "But whatever comfort some of the extremist protest may be giv- ing our enemies-and it is clear from Hanoi's own statements that it is-let us be perfectly clear about our principles and our pri- orities.

Committee on Colleges and Uni- 'S MSU Investigation 'Hatcher TO Confer With Committee Proposal Calls for Student Advisors to 'U' Vice-Presidents By SUSAN SCHNEPP A proposal for a Student Ad- visory Board to the President of the University prepared by student leaders will be discussed by Presi- dent Harlan Hatcher and Univer- sity vice-presidents at a special meeting this afternoon. The proposal is a result of ef- forts by student leaders in Student Government Council, Graduate Student Council and other organi- zations to formulate a plan where- by students and administrators can work cooperatively to solve problems of major student con- cern. The plan, which will have to be approved by President Hatcher, SGC and GSC before it can be established, states that the Ad- visory Board System "shall be composed of (1) an Advisory Board to the President to deal with mat- ters of general concern and (2) lower Vice - Presidential Advisory Boards working on more specific areas."~ According to the plan, the Ad- visory Board to the President will be composed of the chairmen of each of the Vice-Presidential Ad- visory Boards, the presidents of SGC, GSC, UAC, and the editor of The Daily and a general chair- man. This board would be con- cerned with such things as the philosophy and direction of the University, the overall operation of the Advisory Board System, alumni relations, and any matter referred to it by the lower ad- visory boards. The proposal states that the position for the Vice-Presidential Advisory Boards shall be filled by petitioning to an SGC-GSC in- terviewing committee, subject to approval by both bodies. Final de- termination will be made by the President of the University and the Vice-President for Student Affairs. Any University student could serve on the boards. The Advisory Board to the Vice. President of Academic Affairs would concern itself with quality of instruction, facility develop- ment, curriculum innovation and revision, and the nature of fac- ulty-student contact outside of the classroom. The Vice-President of Student Affairs would be advised on such matters as housing, conduct and regulations, student economic wel- fare, student government, health and recreation faciilties, student community relations, and student organizations.

Petitpren (D- Wayne) intends to call Faxon be- fore his committee and ask him to turn over the findings of his investigation, which he had car- red out as chairman of the sub- committee on higher education of the House Ways and Means Com- mittee. Petitpren has also indicated that Faxon's aide in the MSU case. He. has suggested that the reporter is being paid more than is custom- ary. Lansing sources have suggested that the charges, which originat- ed with Jane Denison, a United Press International reporter and daughter of MSU's public relations director, are attempts to derail Faxon's investigation of the Cen- tral Intelligence Agency's infiltra- tion of the MSU project. This is not the first time Faxon has been in trouble with his fel- low legislators, though it is the first time they have gone so far in their attempts to curg what one HARVARD PSYCHIATRIST: Faxon was attacked by several legislators in November when he announced an investigation of the University's tuition increase last fall. They charged then that his investigation did "not have the sanction of his committee chair- man." His later investigation of Wayne State University's system of police protection for its students came under similar attacks. Petitpren has protested that, in the MSU case, Faxon is "infring- ing on our committee's preroga- tives." "We have no intention of let- ting him bypass our committee," Petitpren said. "If you let a rep- resentative go shooting off on in- vestigations, we're going to have a lot of problems." Both House Speaker Joseph Ko- walski (D-Detroift) and Faxon's committee chairman, Einar Er- landsen (D-Escanaba) have said that Faxon was acting "entirely on his own" when he called MSU President John Hannah to con- front the editors of Ramparts magazine, which originally pub- lished the attack on MSU, last Monday. Incident Occurs it Watts Area LOS ANGELES (IP) - Sproadic Women in Men's Dormitories Forces 'Love Nests' A Harvard University psychia- trist has warned that many uni- versities unwittingly have been putting pressure on their students to establish "love nests" by per- mitting women to visit men's dor- mitories.
