Ford Lays Of f
33,500 Menr
DETROIT 'OP) - A layoff of
approximately 33,500 workers, ef-
fective tonight, was announced
yesterday by the Ford Motor Co.
as a result of week-old strikes at
eight factories in five states.
The layoff will cripple passen-
ger car and truck production of
the nation's second largest car
producer.
With+ 25,500 men already idle
in the 'eight plants, Ford's total
idle will be more than a third 9f
its entire hourly paid work force.
Locals of the United Auto
Workers Union, have been on
strike at the eight factories over
unresolved local agreements to
supplement a national agreement.
Total Education
"I hope that it will discuss total
education in Michigan, including
the grade and high school level,
and noting how education at the
lower levels affects the education
offered by the University," Miss
Orrin added.
Problems concerning the struc-
ture of the Legislature were dele-
gated to study committees at the
member schools in Michigan. The
University chapter of USNSA has
been studying the relationship
that the 'Legislature will have to
both the NSA and to the Michigan
region chapter of USNSA.
The results of-the study will be
presented to the regional assembly.
Eight Delegates From 'U'
" The University will be allowed
to send eight delegates and eight
alternates to the assembly. The
delegates will be drawn from Stu-
dent Government Council and the
USNSA committee of SGC.
There has been no discussion of
drawing the delegates from the
general campus.
"This is because the general
campus has little knowledge of the
workings of NSA and would thus,
require a massive orientation pro-
gram. We are not trying to main-
tain an elitist group," Miss Orrin
emphasized.
Some USNSA members have ex-
pressed a desire to advise the gov-
ernor's "blue ribbon" committee
on higher education whose report
has been delayed until next
month. However, no final deci-
sion has been reached on whether
to undertake this project.

Public Discussion
The committee was set up in.
the fall of 1962 by the Regents,
to see that a "comprehensive, im-
partial and objective program of
on-campus public discussions of
important and controversial so-
cial issues" be provided.
The Michigan Union and Voice
political party have recently re-
quested funds and have been asked
to provide more information on
their proposed speaking, programs
and budgets, Heyns said.
Give Funds
The committee formerly directed
student groups to sources where,
they could obtain funds for dis-;
cussion programs. Heyns said the
committee now hopes to directly
allocate funds.
The public discussion commit-
tee consists of three students, two
faculty members, the vice-presi-
dent for academic affairs as chair-'
man and the vice-president for
student affairs as secretary.
Hits Failure
To Support
His Budget
Governor Stresses
Need for Getting
Backing from People,
By LEONARD PRATT
Special To The Daly
EAST LANSING - Gov. George
Romney sharply criticized state
educators in a speech delivered
here last night to the Michigan
Conference on Higher Education.,
Romney's comments were spark-
ed by the alleged failure of Mich-
igan educators to back his policy
of fiscal responsibility in 1962. At
that time, he urged educators to
voluntarily accept a financial cut-
back so the state could stabilize
its budget. He said he assured
educators of increased f u n d s
eventually.
But Romney charged educators
failed to see the larger picture and
quibbled about. their reduced
funds. This seriously hurt his ef-
forts to get educational funds
from the Legislature,nRomney
said.
Practical Matter
Romney emphasized the prac-
tical aspects of obtaining funds
for education saying, "All the ed-
ucators can talk to all the com-
mittess they want, but until legis-
lative votesare affected, there will
be no more educational fund in-
creases in Michigan.
"State money for school operat-
ing costs has increased $40 mil-
lion since 1962," Romney said.
"Out of a total state budget of
$1 billion, some $600 million. 60
per bt e for education," he
continued.
"So you can't say I'm not In-
terested in education," Romney
noted, "yet there are only two
ways we can increase state funds
for education in Michigan."
Two Ways
These two ways are either for
state educators to develop a broad
popular support for increased
funds for higher education, or for
a crisis to develop and force more
money to be spent to keep it from
falling to pieces.
"Of these two, I don't want the
crisis approach, and neither do
you," Romney said. He emphasized
that the only alternative to this
approach was for the state's edu-
cators to take their case -to people
and, through them, to the Legis-
lature.
"We now have the colleges re-
quests for funds," Romney said,
"but the only way they can be
filled is through educational votes.
Important Form
"Education must be the most
important action of government
and, outside of religion and family
life, the most important human
activity," he noted.
Considering this importance,
Romney said, it is vital that the
people of Michigan be persuaded
to make a strong committment to
education in their state.
Also at the conference, Irving
Bluestone, co-chairman of Rom-
ney's "blue ribbon" Citizen's Com-
mittee on Higher Education, gave
a general outline of the commit-
tee's report, to be released in mid-
December.
The committee's report, expect-
ed to shape Michigan's higher edu-
cation for years to come, will fall
into four categories, Bluestone
said. These are:
-Undergraduate studies;
--Graduate and professional
studies;
-Financial studies and
-Planning and coordination
studies.
It is estimated that the report,
originally scheduled to be released
at last night's meeting, will be
issued around Dec. 15.

Union Board Considers Merger Plan
Bruce Larson, former president,
said that the old actives were not
really giving enough enthusiastic
support to the fraternity to keep
it from declining. Acacia had
dropped drastically in academic
rating to 28th, IM participation
slacked off and new pledges did
not materialize.
During this fall's rush program,
Acacia received no pledges. The
national field secretary, knowing
something should be done, called
in a "rush specialist," Larson said.j
This specialist instituted a more
vigorous open rush program to get'
new members who would work for
the fraternity.
Larson told the group thatrthere
was a need for some activity to
keep the pledges interested in
Acacia. He said that permission'
to participate in the IM program
would keep the group's spirits at
a high level. This would be one
step toward incorporating the
"new" Acacia back into the fra-
Unanimously Passed
IQC unanimously passed a ano-
tion advising revision of the Great
Books 191, 192 program. The
council, acting because of "great
discontent" over the courses, ad-
vised that the program "be re-
formed along the lines of the
visiting lecturer program of psy-
chology 190." Each section holds
one recitation a week, periodically
visited by the regular lecturer.
The recommendations will be
forwarded to Dean William Haber
of the literary college.
In other action IQC made two
appropriations. The first was for
a trophy of "not more than $30,"
which will be the award for the
top quadrangle homecoming dis-
play. The second was a grant of
$25 to help support a South
African conference here in Feb-
ruary.
The Conference is being planned
by the United States National
Student Association.

Plans for the merger of the
student activities wings of the
Michigan Union and Women's
League were discussed last night
by the Union's governing body, its
Board of Directors.
Their decision will not be made
public until next Thursday when
the League's governing body, its
Board of Governors, considers the
same plans.
"We don't think it would be
appropriate to use our decision
as a means of influencing the
League Board," Union President
KentCartwright, '65, said.
'SHOWPLACE OF NATIONS':

By ADRIA SCHWARTZ
Pink and purple balloons bearing the phrase "World's Fair"
seen floating over the Diag this afternoon herald the opening of the
Michigan Union's "Showplace of Nations" to be held today and
tomorrow in the Michigan Union.
The World's Fair offers a unique experience to students of this
University in providing them with the, opportunity of viewing the
foreign cultures represented here," Susan Webb, '65, chairman of the
Michigan Union International Affairs Committee said yesterday.
It is co-sponsored by the International Affairs Committee of
the Union, the International Students Association and the nationality
clubs at the University.
8000 Visitors Expected
Travel posters lining the Union walls, and colorfully dressed
guides representing the 1800 international students at the Univer-
sity will welcome the expected 8,000 visitors to the Fair.
Inside the "Showplace of Nations" will be 18 booths representing
a span of nations from Latvia and the Ukraine to Indonesia and
the African Continent.
The booths, manned by students from the various nations, will
feature cultural displays. There will be Turkish and African refresh-

The proposed merger would be
a union of only the student wings
while the policy-making bodies of
the organizations would still re-
main separate.
Two Years
Plans for the merger of the
Union and League have been un-
der serious consideration for the
past two years.
In May of 1963 a Union-League
study committee, chaired by Asso-
ciate Dean James Robertson of the
literary college, recommended the
consolidation of the two institu-
tions into a University Center.
The report suggested that the
consolidation be accomplished by
forming a single governing board
and creating a co-educational stu-
dent activities organization re-
sponsible to that board.
Reject It
The Regents rejected the report
since it would place students in
positions of managerial and fi-
nancial control. They did, how-
ever, accept the Robertson recom-
mendation that student activities
be merged.
Last fall, the Union and League
jointly established an implement-
ation group to work toward a stu-
dent activities merger..

current proposal for the merger

also be announced after the
