Taking advantage of a rule change passed earlier in the week as well as their nearly two to one majority, the Democrats passed Praise the bill by a 62-37 near-party-line vote.

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.

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.

Bill Buntin was a jumping mountain and some observers, swear he could have cleared Port-1 land's famed Mount Hood tonight3 if he'd felt the urge.

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- ness.

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- See FADER, Page 2 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 See APPROVE, Page 2 Regents Approve Three Day Period A three day study period for final examinations has been in- corporated into the academic calendar that was adopted and approved by the Regents at their monthly meeting yesterday.
