ff icials, Students Act To Avoid CrowdTin

By LESLEY FiNKELMAN
The Office of Residence Halls, Assembly House Council, and
Inter-Quadrangle Council are working to prevent another overcrowd-
ing crisis in the fall of 1965 comparable to the one experienced during
the last fall semester.
The steps being taken to avoid crowded conditions and unhappy
4 students involve warning students of housing conditions when they
apply so that they will be prepared to meet living arrangements and
assessing residence hall rooms to find each room's capacity.
"Last spring the investigation of room conditions originated when
it became obvious that the number of students to arrive in the fall
might be greater than what the University was at that time prepared
for," Director of Residence Halls Eugene Haun said yesterday.
"The first action occurred last spring when the only graduate
* students allowed to apply for quad residence in the fall were those
boys already residing in'Tyler and Prescott houses, and they had to
apply to their respective houses," Haun said.
"This allowed space for approximately 175 freshmen," Haun said.
"In the spring we were told to expect a total of 3,975 new stu-
dents by fall, but 4,129 freshmen, plus transfers, entered," he said.

Tuition Hike FOught
On Manitoba Camp__us
By CLARENCE FANTO
More than 1200 students at the University of Manitoba, Canada,
staged a demonstration in downtown Winnipeg recently protesting a
$75 a year across-the-board tuition increase.
The students marched to the provincial legislature building carry-
ing placards demanding that the sudden fee increase be rescinded.
But the legislature announced that it could not afford additional
funds for the university and that the tuition raise must take effect
immediately. The yearly tuition w

Zaretzki (D-Manhattan).1
Although the GOP had threat-
ened to intervene, the move, be-t
lieved unprecedented, caught thet
strife-torn Democratic majority
by surprise. The stunned Demo-
crats retreated swiftly behindf
closed doors to try to hammer outg
an agreement among themselves.s
The prospect of similar Repub-s
lican intervention in the Assembly
was uncertain.
Speculation was that Zaretzki
would emerge as the Democrats's
choice for temporary president p
(majority leader) of the Senate,
although neither of the rival fac- c
tions was supporting him in thea
latest rounds of balloting.G
Zaretzki, Democratic minority
leader for eight years, is a strong
ally of New York's Mayor Robertf

at the various campuses of the
school.
The university is a shared oper-
ation between the Canadian fed-
eral government, the Manitoban
provincial government and the
students.
In late November, the univer-
sity's president suggested that a
$50-$100 fee increase was being
considered. On Dec. 2, the presi-
dent of the university's Student
Union announced a policy of
"freeze the fees" until the prob-
lem of student finances is studied.
At the same time, the Canadian
Union of Students, a powerful na-
tional organization, condemned
the imminent fee rise.
In mid-January, the Student
Union began to prepare a brief
for presentation to the provincial
government asking for a grant
sufficient to eliminate the neces-
sity for a fee increase.
On Jan. 25, shortly after mid-
night, the executive board of the
Student Union decided to call a
student strike and a rally at the
provincial legislature building.
The students were asked to boy-
cott classes for an afternoon to
attend the rally. At least 20 per
cent of the students participated
in the boycott and rally.
Although the students have
failed to achieve their objective
of forestallingvthe tuition hike,
they are planning further appeals
to the provincial legislature.

Following is the official
statementby University Presi
dent Harlan Hatcher on Gov.
George Romney's budget re-
quest:
"The governor has taken an-
other good step forward and
upward for higher education in
Michigan. I am sure he has
used his best judgment to make
some hard choices that must be
made. He has leftroom for the
Legislature to exercise its jurg-
ment and to relate the needs of
our young people to the finan-
cial capacity of the state.
"This recommendation pre-
sents the University with diffi-
cult choices. We are studying it
carefully to see just what effect
it would have on the University.
It implies serious consequences
to the present and future of an
institution of the character and
status of the University. We
consider that the magnitude
and importance of the advanced
graduate and professionalpro-
grams so heavily concentrated
here demand more thoughtful
a n d sophisticated appraisal
than appears to have been given
in this recommendation.
We are facing the serious
question - Does the State of

iod at its previous and present
level of distinguished service?"

Citing growth in student enroll-
ment and the lengthening period

aid, is just as urgent in its way

"But," said President Hatcher,

is a year at the freshman level."

"Independence must supercede
the powers and pressures any ad-
ministration may use to try to
convert the press from watch-
dogs into lap dogs," Clark Mollen-

yesterday in Rackham.
He criticized the attitude of
some 'reporters who are afraid

representing the White House
were making arguments that per-
suaded some newspapers to at
least temporarily kill the story."
He also cited numerous in-
