Report Reve By MEREDITH EIKER Although the competition for the services gf top faculty is becoming stronger each year, the University has never lost a faculty member it desired because it could not meet competing salary offers, two administration officials said recently. Since University policies toward faculty salaries and tenure are flexible, any competing financial offer to staff members has been met, according to reports by both Vice President for Academic Affairs Roger W. Heyns and Theodore H. Drews, head of the Office of Institutional Research. Drews completed a study of the reasons for the termination of service among faculty members three years ago. It showed a variety of reasons which prompt faculty to leave the University. Climbing or Climate They ranged from a desire for professional advancement and personal and family considerations to a desire for climate change. But while an increase in salary was evidently a consideration in sixty-five percent of the cases, only two associate professors gave this as their primary reason for departure. Heyns felt that University intentions should be to keep its faculty happy from the start or employ any strategy aimed' at >als Causes of Teachers' Departure retaining those who are considering leaving will be futile. He and Drews further declared that the University is as suc- cessful as any major state-supported institution in attracting top quality educators. Different Attractions This, they emphasized, depends in part on the particular field in which the University is seeking new people., For example, the astronomy department might have a difficult time acquiring an optical astronomer because of the University's lack of on-campus facilities in this area while, because of new installations on North Campus, a nuclear physicist might be easily obtained. Drews also indicated that there are many forces at work in the competition for University faculty members. Although eastern Ivy League institutions have little more to offer than the Univer- sity in the way of facilities, their private endowments and prestige are attractive, Drews said. Quick Rise In addition, younger faculty members are lured by department chairmanships at smaller schools seeking a single good man to strengthen a department. A small school thereby surpasses what the University is ready to offer the young professor. The University of California-Stanford and Berkeley-was indicated as being a big drawing power not only because of research money and avail- able facilities but also because of its climate. Drews said that competition from other schools came in spurts and was almost cyclical in nature depending primarily on their rebuilding programs and grants, and thus no one institution was presenting much more competition than any other. Environment "The top notch faculty," he said, "respond more to a profes- sional environment-research facilities, high caliber graduate stu- dent assistants-than to monetary considerations." However, Heyns remarked that research grants usually follow faculty members and not vice versa. Also, government, industry and other research agencies vie heavily for University staff members. Salaries within the various University departments will reflect the demand for professors in that field although an equilibrium is maintained through the University's budgetary allocations. The sciences, particularly physics and math, are considered the most vulnerable to competition and sustain the heaviest losses to industry and government. ments where shortages of good people are prevalent. The Law School, for example, pays its professors a mean salary of $19,800 per University year compared to the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts' mean salary of $13,854. This is because the University -"competes" with the law profes- sion at large for professors, and some compensation must be made to keep them at the University. Both Heyns and Drews expressed concern over the possibility of a cut in state appropriations beneath the University's request. Lower Rate Heyns said that faculty salaries throughout the country have been rising steadily at a rate of about seven percent each year but the University appropriations have not. Exact increases depend on the decisions made at Lansing. If a cut is made in the University's financial request, however, the budget will be adjusted to accom- modate faculty salaries first, they said. Drews said that salary increases at the University have risen in proportion to state appropriations and have kept pace with the proportional salary increases at other state supported universities.

Earlier this year, Mott pledged '4 $2.4 million to the University on the condition that it go ahead with plans to develop a four-year Definite Plans Underway For New College By LESLEY FINKLEMAN Since the idea of a residential college at the University was ac- I cepted early in 1964, the Faculty Planning Committee and the Stu- dent Advisory Committee of the Residential College have worked toward the reality of that educa- tional institution. According to a progress report compiled by Burton D. Thuma, director of the residential college and chairman of the Faculty Planning Committee, to date the committees have completed and submitted to the architects gener- al specifications for the residence halls, buildings for offices and classrooms, a laboratory building, a library, a 500-seat auditorium, and a community center. When the building dimensions' S 'have been agreed upon, the arch- itects will submit some alterna- tive site plans. When plans ac- ceptable to the Committee have been drawn up, both building . and site plans will be submitted for consideration, hopefully before the end of April-to the Plant Extension Committee of the Uni- versity. In the area of curriculum, cer- tain general guide lines have been laid by the Faculty Planning Committee. The report indicates that the programs should be de- signed to meet requirements for graduate study in those disciplines to be offered in the residential college and also to meet the re- quirements of certain profession- al programs such as medicine, dentistry, law, and graduate work in business administration. According to the report, the program of the freshman and sophomore years will be designed to train students in the "tools- of scholarship," with a view to pre- paring them for more independent work in the junior and senior years. Thus, it is proposed that as a freshman and sophomore the student will have intensive for- eign language training, so that in his junior year he is prepared to use the foreign language in his work. This use of -the language will not be confined to courses in literature but in reading mater- ials in all the subjects that he is studying. In addition, freshman and See RESIDENTIAL, Page 7 Report Hanoi Gets Missiles xr, a 0=nrrfnT fret a L.C.. program at its two-year Flint branch. The state board ruled last week, however, that, while the Univer- sity should be permitted to admit freshmen at Flint this fall, its branch should be replaced by an independent state institution as soon as possible. Mott indicated yesterday that his withdrawal of the $2.4 million offer was to express disapproval of the board's decision. Seeks Clarity "The Mott Foundation wants to make it clear to Gov. George Rom- ney and the State Board of Edu- cation that it does not agree with the proposal and is not interested or willing to support it now or in the future," Mott said. The Mott grant was to be a key factor in the University's plans to build a new campus for its branch, which now shares facilities with Flint Community College. At the time of the state board ruling, board-officials expressed hope that private groups would support their proposal for an independent school. The proposed new institu- tion would also require a separate campus. The Flint decision is the first test of the new state board's in- fluence, and board President Thomas Brennan has indicated that reaction to the ruling will be an important factor in determin- ing his opinion as to whether the board should be granted more authority. A proposed constitu- tional amendment which would in- crease the boards power by elim- inating the autonomy of individ- ual state schools is' now being considered by the Senate Judiciary Committee. At the moment, the board is embarking on studies that will eventually lead to the development of a master plan for higher edu- cation in Michigan. According to. board vice-presi- dent Leon Fill, the board's plans include: -A visit to Sault Ste.

To Submit Membersb I r POLITICAL SCIENCE IN ACTION: 'U' Professors Support Johnson's Viet Policy By PHYLLIS KOCH Sixteen members of the political science department, professors and instructors, have indicated support of President Lyndon B. John- son's current policy in Viet Nam .A letter to the President signed by these 16 faculty members, was released yesterday to The Daily. In that letter, the faculty members stated they "staunchly support" the views presented in the President's speech of April 7 given at Johns Hopkins University, "believing that the policy he then enunciated best serves the interests of the United States and of world peace." The letter is being sent to the President with copies addressed to Secretary of State Dean Rusk and McGeorge Bundy, assistant to the President, according to Prof. Russel H. Fifield of the political science department and one of the signators of the letter. The letter --- 'was circulated among members of HOPWOOD A WARDS: Committee Davies Explicates Role Of Contemporary Poets By JACE REISMAN "A poet has a life such that simply by living he challenges, criticizes, and condemns his society. The prophets, puch as D. H. Lawrence, are outside the culture; the poets, like Carlyle and Blake, shape the culture. They are society's indispenables." Thus Prof. Donald Davies of Oxford University, noted British poet and critic, summed up the need for the sincere poet at the annual Avery and Jule Hopwood Awards presentation. "Poetry is now merely a vehicle by which a poet acts out his agony and discomfort of being a poet or even of living in the 20th ViolenceBitter Feud Figure In 'Unique' County's Polities EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the second in a two-part series on the political situation in Livingston county, Michigan. By MARK R. KILLINGSWORTH Special To The Daily HOWELL-After two years of polite in-fighting, the two factions within Livingston County's Democratic party split wide open in last fall's primary campaign and the county convention which followed it. The spark ignited when Martin Lavan, a Brighton lawyer who had controlled the county Democratic apparatus until 1962, made a full-scale effort to regain control. His opposition: Edward Rettinger, Hamburg township clerk, who had ousted Lavan as, county Demo- cratic chairman in 1962. The Lavan and Rettinger factions quickly squared off, accusing the department by Professors Fi- field and Frank Grace, according to Assistant Prof. Norman C. Thomas who also signed the letter. Both Fifield and Grace refused any further comment on the letter. There is "considerable difference of opinion" among those who sign- ed the letter, Thomas said. "Some of the people on the list are more critical of Johnson's policy than others," he noted. However, "the basic thread of agreement" is that we all feel the President's speech provided a "basis for satisfactory settle- ment," Thomas continued. "It is a constructive and positive re- sponse to the problem and one which deserves support," he added. Most of the people who signed the letter are "liberals," accord- ing to Prof. Robert N. Wells, an- other signator. "Many people will say 'Here come the right-wing hawks'," he added, "but the sig- nators are mostly people who have taken a liberal approach to foreign affairs." Commenting on the student- faculty teach-in of March 24th which protested the administra- tion's policy in Viet Nam, Wells said he would have participated in it if it had been "a dialogue rather than a protest." As it was, the set-up of the teach-in "did not provide a frame- work for a meaningful exchange of Views," Wells added. "I had a1 feeling that the dice were loaded," he said, "and that no one really wanted to listen to the other side."' century. The public life and the private life of the poet are miser- ably confounded" Davies said of the new "confessional" poets, the sincere poets of the present time. The Hopwood Awards, among the largest cash awards for crea- tive writing in the country, are" now in their 35th year. This year there were 16 major and 14 minor awards in the fields of fiction, drama, poetry, and essay, totaling $16,900 in cash. Paula Spurlin of Ann Arbor, Dan Campbell of Olivet, and Mrs. Ann 01- sen Burr, also of Ann Arbor, each won two major awards. In the minor drama awards Steven Coffman won $600, Davida Kurnick won $500, and Diane Ouding won $400. In the major essay department Pau- la A. bpurling ($900), Anne E. Burr ($600), Michael Schover ($500) and Sherman Silber ($400) 'all received prizes. The winners in the minor essay department were Marilyn Schiffman ($300), Elizabeth Meese ($400), Su- zanne Naiburg ($500), and Carolyn Coffin ($500). The winners in the major drama de- partment were Daniel Campbell ($900), Theodore Rancont, Jr. ($800), Anne E. Burr ($600), and Donald A. Bohlen ($500). The winners of the major fiction department were Paula Spurling ($900), Alan G. Palmer ($700), Joseph N. Wil- kenson ($700), and Daniel R. Campbell ($400). The winners in the minor fiction de- partment were Nelson P. Lande ($300), Robert M. Hunt ($300), Gerald Fife ($500), and John A. Holm ($600). The winners in the minor poetry division were Martha A. MacNeil ($600), Claudia Buckholts ($400), and Judith Snider ($300). The winners in the major poetry di- vision were Rev. James Torrens ($500), Steven W. AMay ($500), Alvin E. Fritz S($800), and Charles J. Stoneburner ($900). Only seniors and graduates are al- lowed to compete in the major divi- sions. Undergraduates are eligible for the minor Hopwood awards. We Erred A report on the Michigan Schol- ars in College Teaching program .which appeared in The Daily re- cently contained inaccurate state- ments which may have been mis- leading to the reader, The Michigan Scholars program is designed to recognize and. en- courage capable undergraduates to enter the field of college teach- ing. The story incorrectly stated that one-third of the Michigan Schol- ars "elect to pursue graduate study." Actually all but a few of the 340 Michigan Scholars who have reached the graduate level have gone on to graduate school. The one-third mentioned above represents those who chose to at- tend graduate programs at the University. The recent Daily report says the few Michigan Scholars who do not go beyond the Masters degree "are at best Master's degree holders who have spent three years main- ly preparing for college teaching." The word "least" was intended where "best" appears. The story concluded by saying the growth and development of the program at the University "is being restricted by the improper emphasis on PhD degrees and re- search." This statement was an unwarranted conclusion from a previous story on the program that appeared in The Daily. The original story was checked back with Jellema, but due to some oversights in copy-editing of the story, these incorrect state- ments appeared. To Inspect Greek Policy To Rule Out Possible Discrimination in 'Recommend' Forms By CAROLE KAPLAN Panhellenic Association, at a meeting of the Presidents Coun- cil yesterday, passed a resolution supporting the Membership Com- mittee of Student Government Council in its request that the sororities submit their membership recommendation forms for inspec- tion by the committee.
