REPORT SKS GROI TH CURB, COORDI ATIO By JOHN MEREDITH A report envisioning a spe- cial role for the literary col- lege within a master plan for state education, calling for a shift of the college's education- al focus and proposing restric- tions on its growth was releas- ed yesterday committee of lege faculty. by the executive the literary col- The report, a "discussion" document intended primarily for consideration by the facul- ty, reached the following con- clusions: Document Passes LSA Faculty Vote The literary college faculty voted to accept the report of its executive committee on the size and objectives of the college last night. "Since this is an omnibus report touching on many facets of the college, acceptance of the document clearly does not imply approval of all its recommenda-"- - -- - tions and appraisals," Dean Wil- liam Haber of the literary college explained. He added that dis- cussion at last night's meeting' centered on the issue of whetherU 4S 4 the college is equipped to handle -The literary college need not and should not expand as rapidly as indicated by enroll- ment projections made in an Office of Academic Affairs re- port, "The Growth of the Uni- versity." -The admissions rate for the college should not be increased beyond the figure planned for 1965 so that its total enroll- ment will not exceed 11,800 in 1968. Moreover, any increase must first be matched by cor- responding increases in facul- ty and physical facilities. -Plans for literary college growth should be based on the special contribution that can be made by the college within a master plan for state educa- tion which assigns different roles to various types of insti- tutions. Upper Level Growth -Since freshman-sophomore education can generally be han- dled adequately by other in- stitutions in the state, not- ably the rapidly growing sys- tem of junior and community colleges, expansion of the lit- erary college should take place primarily at the junior, senior, and graduate levels, contrary to assumptions made in the OAA report. -The literary college should develop a program leading to a masters degree in college teaching to train people to staff ,Michigan's junior and commun- ity colleges. -Neither the new residential college nor year-round opera- tion will substantially ease en- rollment pressure in the next two or three years. -Since the literary college is the largest division of the University and the major pro- vider of "service" teaching for other units, its capacity must inevitably act as a "brake" on projected expansion of other schools and colleges. Methods Revision -Growth pressures must not interfere with the quality of in- struction, and the faculty should study possibilities of revising teaching methods and courses. -The administrative struc- ture of the college should be examined with the idea of changing the existing organi- zational pattern to improve communication and increase efficiency. The report, an outgrowth of several faculty discussions, was prepared by the deans of the literary college and the facul- ty executive committee. It was released under the signatures of Dean William Haber, Associate Dean James H. Robertson, As- sociate Dean Burton D. Thuma, Associate Dean William L. Hays (committee secretary), Prof. Deming Brown of the Slavic language and literature department, Prof. Angus Camp- bell of the psychology and so- ciology departments, Prof. Ar- thur Eastman of the English department, Prof. S. J. Elders- veld of the political science de- partment, Prof. Wilfred Kaplan of the math department, Prof. E. Lowell Kelley of the psychol- ogy department, Prof. Samuel Krimm of the physics depart- ment and Prof. Charles Steven- son of the philosophy depart- ment. Numbers Game "The report seeks to get away from the 'numbers game' in enrollment projections and con- centrates instead on educa- tional goals and objectives," Haber said. "At this stage it is' a recom- mendation to the faculty. It will no doubt be refined and re- vised before being submitted to the administration for consid- 3ration and appropriate action." The report emphasizes the need for coordinating the pro- grams of all state colleges un- der a master plan, with com- munity and junior colleges as- suming a much larger share of the burden of undergraduate education. By 1975, the report esti- mates, there will .be 389,000- 474,000 students in state col- leges. By then, community and junior colleges can be expect- ed to handle about 150,000 stu- dents. In addition, private col leges and the seven smalle state universities will probably take care of another 150,000. University's Quota This will leave 89,000-174,000 students to be divided among the three major universities. Of this number, the report cites a range of 37,000-47,000 as rea- sonable for the University, de- pending on the expansion plans of the other two large univer- sities. This contrasts with the OAA estimate of about 50,000 as a "desirable" enrollment for 1975. According to the OAA pro- jections, the expansion to 50,000 See UPPER, Page 2 jaunches Second retaluatory Attack as large a freshman class as is planned for next fall. "Several faculty members ex- pressed the view that the college's rapid rate of expansion has re- sulted in a larger than desirable proportion of teaching fellows and junior faculty instructing under- graduates," Haber said. Postponement Action on a motion by Prof. Wil- liam LeVeque of the mathematics department concerning the growth rate for the next several years was postponed until next month's meeting to allow time for further consideration and possible revi- sion by the faculty in light of the committee report. LeVeque's motion, first present- ed at the last December's faculty * meeting,. stipulated that the lit- erary college hold its freshman class to 3100 per year for at least the next three years and restrict admissions rate increases for the fall of 1965 to 200. * Commenting on issues discussed in the report, Prof. Gerhard Wein- berg of the history department called the idea of a continuous review of admissions policy "par- ticularly promising." "The decisions the University makes when it does not get funds necessary for its planned enroll- ment are among the most impor- tant," he said. In this regard, he singled out the report's suggestion that in- adequate financial support in a given year could be compensated for by admitting fewer students in the following year. Dangerous "It is dangerous for the Uni- vei'sity to assume that state legis- lators are unwilling to understand the importance and high cost of graduate level education," Wein- b berg added. "When we receive less money than we need and continue to ad- mit more and more students, we look ridiculous. This leads to the assumption that we generally ask for more financialnsupport than we need, which is not true." Weinberg went on to say that he was impressed with the stress the report places on the University's role in providing faculty for in- stitutions of higher education. Prof. James K. Pollock- of the political science department em- phasized the need to stop rapid expansion. Deterioration "Quality at the University has been deteriorating to some ex- tent," he said, "and under no cir- cumstances should we permit rapid expansion until we catch c up with educational quality." However, Prof. Wilfred Mc- Keachie of the psychology de- partment called for a flexible ad- missions policy. "A flexible attitude toward en- rollment increases is essential to ensure the enhancement of edu- cational quality because, in some cases, the chance of doing some of the things we want to do may be improved by increasing the size of the student body." McKeachie added that the or- ganization of the college itself is a truly essential issue, a topic which was elaborated on by Prof. Daniel Fusfeld of the economics departmen~t. "The faculty should consider developing a series of smaller units such as the residential col- lege," Fusfeld remarked. Soviet union Backs Hanoi In Demands Kosygin Warns of Moscow-Peking Unity WASHINGTON (jP) - Vietna- mese and American warplanes smashed at Communist troop bases and anti-aircraft installa- tions in North Viet, Nam again yesterday and amid signs .the United States will answer strike for strike ;;any new assaults on U.S. bases in the South. At the sametime, the Soviet Union demanded the U.S. stop; aerial attacks on the Communist North. A statement issued in the wake of the two retaliatory strikes by U.S. and South Vietnamese planes said the Soviet government "fully subscribes to the demand" of Hanoi to stop the raids. Such attacks on North Viet Nam will force the Soviet Union and its allies "to take further measures to safeguard the secur- ity and to strengthen the defense capability" of North Viet Nam, the statement declared. Speaking at a Soviet embassy reception in the North Vietnamese capital, Russian Premier Alexei N. Kosygin said that Russia, Red China, North Viet Nam and other Communist nations do not want war, but "we must be vigilant." Kosygin's remarks contained a hint that Moscow and Peking would bury their differences at least for the limited purpose of aiding North Viet Nam.

"While the imperialists are threatening the people of various countries, our international duty is to increase and consolidate the strength and national defense po- tential of the Communist com- munity, close our ranks and help the oppressed peoples who are still struggling," Kosygin said. As tension grew, American and South Vietnamese military au- thorities went to work to tighten security in an effort to prevent the kind of Communist attack that triggered the retaliatory raids. Navy reconnaissance p 1 a n e s flew over Dong Hoi, on the North Vietnamese coast, to assess the results of Sunday's raid there by 49 American jets. More than a score of propeller- driven South Vietnamese planes rained bombs on three border 'in- stallations earlier yesterday, in a follow up to the Sunday assault.

VICE-PRESIDENT CUTLER Steps Outlined: For Getting Out Of Dormitories With the approval of junior apartment permission, sophomore women now will be able to make housing plans and sign leases for the fall.

COPI' Fiscal reform plans submitted by Senate Majority Floor Leader Basil Brown (D-Highland Park) received a cordial but somewhat cool welcome from - Gov. George Romney yesterday. The governor said that he was pleased to receive Brown's tax reform program, but added that he wants more evidence of broad support for reform before he will discuss fiscal specifics. Brown's program includes the basics from Romney's 1963 fiscal reform package, and a graduated income tax. Senate Majority leader Ray- mond Dzendzel (D-Detroit) not- ed that Brown presented his tax revamping plan "strictly on his own." Dzendzel said that neither Brown's stand nor his program necessarily "reflect the feelings of1 the majority party." Fiscal reform was mentioned "briefly and in a general way" in a short meeting between legisla- tive leaders of both parties and the governor last night, according to Brown. "We agreed to con- tinue discussion on a bipartisan level at a later date," he added. Brown said that he plans now' to carry his program back to the Senate where he will try to garner support for it from both parties. "If I'm successful to any degree, then I'll go back to the governor and talk turkey," Brown said. Both parties will be holding their state conventions this week,I these areas.I Romney also emphasized school needs as a reason for tax re- form in commenting on Brown's: fiscal reform plan.j .The governor said that :e is looking- beyond the Legislature for support for fiscal reform, and added that "education people have a moral obligation to do nore than just develop facts on need. They have to help develop pub- lic understanding on the need for tax reform." Commenting further on Brown's proposal, Romney refused to .say whether he could now endorse the graduated income tax included in Brown's plan. The new state con- stitution prohibits the levying of any but a flat-rate income tax.. Brown maintains that if the Legislature were to pass his tax plan, it could also pass a reso- lution proposing an amendment to the constitution which would al- low a graduated tax. Adoption of such a resolution would be subject to approval of the people of Michigan in a state- wide election, after which, if it passed, the graduated tax could be substituted for the flat-rate tax. Parental Consent for Minors: And Juniors Must Rent Only 'U'-Approved City-Inspected Off-Campus Residences By GAIL BLUMBERG . Junior women will be permitted to live in off-campus housing starting this fall, it was announced yesterday by Vice-President for Student Affairs Richard L. Cutler. "Parallel privileges" will be arranged for Junior women re- maining in the residence halls, Cutler said. He said details would be announced within "several weeks." The new regulation extends to women who have 54 or more academic credits. Formerly apartment permission has applied to senior women and those over 21 years of age. Two conditions are attached to the impending apartment per- mission. Junior women, under 21 planning to move from the dormi- FEBRUARY MYTH: Winter Weekend, Plans Five-Fifths Merriment By ADRIA E. SCHWARTZ As anyone passing through the Fishbowl can tell you, anyone who has heard the raucous sales cry and the snap of returning yo-yo's Winter Weekend is on its way. The first "fifth of Myth' takes place at the Union Ballroom on Friday, Feb. 12, from 3:30=5 p.m. With music supplied by "The Darts" there will be a dance, highlighted by - a contest in which couples will compete for record albums and free pizzas. Friday evening, Winter Weekend will descend upon Hill at 8 p.m., with Skit Night. Prof. John J. Manning Jr. of the English department will emcee the pro- ceedings. Six fraternities, along . with their "sister sororities for the evening" will present skits to =<4:: :::<::::::: : :.::;::< :>::>:.":: be judged by Dean John Flower> of the music school, Robert Schnitzer, executive director of the PTP, and others representing the Ann Arbor Civic Theatre, and . the speech department. Also included in the evening's entertainment will be a chorus line, choreographed by Toddie Hogan, "The Friars," "The Va- grants and a folksinger, "Loldie."- Tickets for Skit Night will be on tory system, must have writteno parental permission. This rule has been in effect for senior women under 21. Further, junior women will be required to live in University en- dorsed housing. Endorsed housing must be certified 'by city inspec- tors as meeting health and safe- ty codes and must utilize a Uni- versity approved rental agreement. Differentiating This condition does not apply to senior women. According to Cut- ler, "junior women are not as free as senior women and this is one way to express that." The University-approved rental agreement is a device for coop- eration between 'the University and realtors. Under such an agree- ment, the University will act as a mediator for a student in any realty dispute. It will also see that the student upholds his end of the contract, and can withhold grades if he fails to do so. Students signing contracts for the fall are advised by Cutler not to enter into agreements, formal or informal, for apartment dwell- ings which are not completed as these dwellings have not yet been certified by the city. Basic Philosophy The present decision, Cutler ex- plained is -an outgrowth of the basic plilosophy of the Office of Student Affairs that "freedom and the development of responsibility must go forward hand in hand." "We intend," Cutler said, "that students be allowed to live under conditions which we mutually judge to be beneficial to their ed- ucational experience." "The conduct of senior women under the more liberal regulation has been most encouraging," Cut- ler said. "Our staff is unani- mously convinced that junior women possess the same capacity for mature self-control, and we want them to have the opportuni-, ty to demonstrate it."' City Disturbed By Unertified Housing Units . By GERALD DRISCOLL Ann Arbor City Administrator Guy C. Larcom said in a formal report last night at the City Council meeting that "students occupying uncertified apartments is one of the major problems fac- ing the University's off-campus housing bureau." At a previous council meeting, it was suggested that such occu- pancies be termed a violation of the city's housing ordinance. University officials are. report- ed to have voiced satisfaction over the way the city has coped with the influx of students into off- campus living quarters. Larcom reported that since the number of housing inspectors had doubled recently, the number of housing inspections have risen from an average of 50 per month to 115. Larcom's report points out that there are 2500 buildings in Ann Arbor engaged in rental of one type or another. Larcom also cit- ed figures from October 1964, to show that the city is taking great- er and greater interest in the liv- ing accommodations available to students. Examining Larcom's plan, Fifth Ward Democratic Councilman Le- roy A. Cappaert suggested the pos- sibility of forcing the landlord to inform his prospective tenants of any part of the building which is in need of repair. City Attorney Jacob Fahrner said such a plan could very easily bring legal difficulties, but prom- ised to investigate similar propos- housing said. and there is a good possibility University Control that they may take stands )n the All student cancellation slips tax reform issue, Brown maintain- are filed in the off-campus hous- ed.
