The crest of the World .War II baby crop graduates from high school next June. Registrars are advising high school seniors to get their appli- cations \ hdmission ip. early as possile. "Students must make up their minds earlier next year in apply- ing to a college," said George N. Lauer, registrar at Central Mich- igan University at Mount Pleas- ant. "The later they wait the more difficult it will be to get into a college."' Central Michigan had a 30 per cent increase in applications this year and expects another 25 per cent next year. Ferris State College at Big Rapids had a 31 per cent increase this year and expects a 40 per1 cent increase next year. Prof. Victor Spathelf, school president, said if Ferris can ac- commodate the 500-student in- crease it is planning for in 1965, "It will be done with the greatest Houdini act you've ever seen." The University went up from 9,000 applications to 11,000 this year, and expects another 13,000 next year. Gayle Wilson, assistant registrar, said 80 per cent of all applicants are admissible by the University's standards of a B av- erage in high school. The term "qualified student for college" is a misleading term, and can be used only in connection with a specific college. Ferris wll admit students with a C average. The University wants a C-plus average aryd students in the top half of the graduating class Colleges recognize their selec- tivity now is high, and don't want to get more selective. They doint out there are so many students who qualify for admission that the time is approaching when the postmark on the letter will deter- mine final placement. It is now at a "first come first serve basis" at CMU and Ferris, officials said. SIes MSUPlan As 'Consistent' A recent grant of $1.25 million for Michigan State University's two-year medical program is con- sistent with medical agreements between MSU and the other state- supported schools, according t,, an official here. Dean William Hubbard of the Medical School explained that the Kellogg Foundation gift will support a two-year human medi- cine program at MSU in accord- ance with a pact initialed by MSU and the University last year.' This agreement called for MSU to develop its two-year program k nrx n a " ai -m~ipC.V' aA.Y u WR.Vw P by a list of corresponding demands that SGC should make upon the University. The report, submitted by Barry Bluestone, '66, separated; student grievances into thirteen categories, 'ranging from the cru- cial student parking problem to the need for academic reform in some branches of the University. Executive Vice-President Doug- las Brook, '65, moved an amend- ment to create a separate com- mittee for each of the grievance categories in order to facilitate and improve the processing of the complex Bluestone motion. Following considerable debate, Council passed the amendment- and agreed to let the Executive Committee set the number of committees to be created and to tentatively establish the mem- bership of each committee. How- ever, it was agreed that all Coun- cil members would sit on a com- mittee, and would be joined by other student appointees. Thed gExecutive Committee was also delegated the authority to establish deadlines for the final reports of each committee. Coun- cil members expressed the desire to have these deadlines set within the next two or three weeks so that Council might act on the total grievance motion before the up- coming elections. Council then moved into com- mittee of the whole discussion on the grievance report, investigating the document section by section and making -recommendations as to each grievance area might best be researched. The apartment house project, which does not provide for any parking spaces for the building's 80 residents, was discussed by Chester Roberts, a representative of the South University merchants, and by Robert Weaver of the Towne Realty Corporation which is planning the structure. They said that they were fully aware of the critical parking sit- uation in the campus area, but that it was not the sole responsi- bility of the builder to solve any local parking problem. They said that whole topic of parking in Ann Arbor, and specifically in the campus area, is the joint concern of the city government, and the University as well as with the merchants and realtors. They added that the parking roblem should be broadly inves- BARRY BLUESTONE . By NANCY STEIN An ad hoc committee for Stu- dent Government Council will dis- cuss the possibility of organizing- a student employes' association to-t night.j The association would have power to negotiate with adminis- tration officials regarding the wages, hours and working condi- tions of student employes and would not be affiliated with SGC. The SGC committee has investi- gated the working conditions of students and says the University is paying lower wages than other universities in the Midwest. Barry Bluestone, '66, chairman of the committee, said he hopes that students will voice their opinions on the feasability and possible structure of the associa- tion. If enough interest is shown, the students can then investigate means by which an organization could be set up, he added. There are over 900 students employed in the dormitories, the Michigan Union, the Women's League and the libraries. In comparison with University wages, the committee has found that minimum wages at the Uni- versity of Wisconsin and Michigan State University are $1.25 per hour, and those at the University of Minnesota are $1.37. Minimum student wages at the University are $1.

STATE LAW: By LAURENCE KIRSHBAUM A student has raised formal objection to the University's policy requiring its employes to sign a loyalty oath. But administrative officials replied yesterday that the oath is; a state requirement which has drawn few objections in its thirty- year history.
