Democrats in House Announce Wage Increase;

A controversial bill providing property tax relief for senior citi-

''Towers
On "'Schedule
By CLIFFORD OLSON
Robert E. Weaver, management
agent for University Towers, said
yesterday that the high-rise
apartment building at South Uni-
versity and Forest is scheduled for
completion August 1 and will be
ready for occupancy by the be-
ginning of the fall term:
The statement was made in re-
sponse to contrary charges ear-
lier in the week from Martin Zim-
merman, '66A&D, chairman of the
Student Government Council Off-
Campus Housing Committee. Zim-
merman had advised the students
not to sign leases with University
Towers because experts in realty
and construction did not believe
the building could be constructed
in less than 14 months and would
not be completed by the fall term.
The Office of Student Affair
Off-Campus Housing Bureau last
month had refused to endorse
leases between students and own-
ers of unfinished buildings. At
that time 10 leases between soph-

The real story of the game was
the Wolverines' complete domina-
tion of the backboards throughout
the game. Michigan out-rebound-,
ed Princeton 56-37 and the Ti-
gers got a chance to put up moret
than one shot. .
Despite the ineffectiveness off
the boards, Princeton managed to
stay in the game thanks to the
:nagnificent shooting of Bradley
who tossed in 29 points, while1
disentangling himself from the
grips of George Pomey.
"Pomey did a tremendous Job.

half. Midwestern thrift prevaileds

they converted two. As a matter
of fact, the Tigers notched four
more field goals than the Wolver-c
ines in the first half, yet trailedf
by four points because of their k
fouling.
In the second half, Michigan
trotted out on the court far more
relaxed than in the beginning.E
Buntin got the tip and Michigan
went on to score five straight,
making it 45-36. The outcome wasc
ilite doubt after that.
The first half was nip-and-tuck
with both teams showing tense-

after the game. r

Award Grant
For Study of
Curriculum
By JUDY STONEHILL
Prof. Daniel N. Fader of the
English department has been
awarded a $64,000 contract by the
United States Office of Educa-
tion for a project which proposes
to evaluate a radically different
English curriculum now being
taught at the W. J. Maxey Boys
Training School at Whitmore
Lake.
If the curriculum is successful
in its application to delinquent
boys, it could revolutionize the
teaching of English in secondary
schools throughout the country.
Project
The project is the outcome of a
program commissioned by the
Bureau of School Services of the
University and written by Fader
early in 1964. This program was
published by the Bureau in Feb-
ruary 1964 as a pamphlet entitled
"Teaching English at Boys Train-
ing School," and adopted by the
training school as their English
curriculum in August of that
year..
'Saturation'
Fader's proposal is a "satura-
tion program" of reading and
writing, in which every instructor
becomes a teacher of English, He
advocates "complete removal of
those symbols (a n d perhaps
causes) of failure from the boys'
learning environment - the large,
hardbound texts, usually antho-
logies."'
Replace
To replace them he recommends
an avalanche of newspapers, mag-
azines, and paperbound books
"which so surround the boy in all
of his classrooms and are 'so
easily available to him in his en-
tire environment that he con-
vinces himself of the normality
and inescapabiilty of the written
word."
In this intense effort to teach
functional literacy, every instruc-

Higher Rates Depend
On Appropriations
From Legislature
By BRUCE WASSERSTEIN
The minimum wage rate for
1680 part-time employes will be
raised from $1 to $1.25 beginning
July 1, University President Harlan
Hatcher announced yesterday at
the Regents meeting.
Officials hinted, however, that
a dorm fee hike and higher tui-
tion rates may also go into effect
next year to offset the higher
costs incurred by the wage in-
crease and other expenses. They
refused official comment on the
situation, since the main factor
in balancing the budget, the size
of state appropriations to the
University, is 'still an unknown.
Noted Expenses
Vice-President for Business and
Finance Wilbur K. Pierpont noted
that the expenses of University
facilities such as libraries, resi-
dence halls and student centers
which rely heavily on student em-
ployes will climb as a result of
the wage hike. For example, ac-
cording to Pierpont, the cost of
running the residence hall system
will increase by $80,000 because
of the higher wages.
Furthermore, Pierpont added,
the overall cost of raising the
wages for temporary employes,
who are iostly students, will be
partially offset by redjucing the
total number of such workers em-
ployed by the University.
He said, however, that this solu-
tion will not tighten the student
job market at the University since
this year many, job openings have
not been filled.
Pierpont added that the admin-
istration will probably not know
until May or June if the state's
appropriations to the University
will cover the increased costs caus-
ed by the wage hike and other
factors.
Killed
Although the original appropria-
tions bill containing the gover-
nor's requests has been killed by
the Legislature, the University is
still uncertain how much it will
