ATHLETIC TENDERS: THE 'NEED' FACTOR. See Editorial Page L Seventy-Four Years of Editorial Freedom 74Iaiti COLD High--24 Low-10 Cloudy and windy with snow flurries VOL. LXXV, No. 72 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1964 SEVEN CENTS EIGHT PAGES BERKELEY REGENTS' RULING: Student Politics Allowed Merits, Dangers of Research Probed By ROBERT BENDELOW In action taken yesterday eve- ning, the Regents of the Univer- sity of California at Berkeley re- instated eight students who had been suspended last September for "illegally soliciting funds" for political groups.' They also passed a ruling al- lowing students to solicit funds and recruit members on cam-j pus for off-campus political ac-j tivities, Berkeley sources report- ed by phone last night. These measures were approved as partdof a 10 point package proposed by University of Cali- fornia President Clark Kerr. Under the proposal, six of the eight suspended students would be reinstated immediately, while the other two would be on pro- bation for the semester. It was not established what proba- tionary status entails. Certain Areas Solicitation and recruiting are now allowed in certain designated' "Hyde Park areas." These have not been established yet. Previously, the political groups were allowed, to use the steps of the administration building, Spro- ul Hall. Under the new ruling, this area is no longer open to the students. They were told that their temporary use of the steps was an "experiment." The Regents meeting was ac- companied by a silent vigil of some 2000 students. Five members of the *FreerSpeech Movement (FSN), an organization of most of the campus' student groups, at- tended the meeting but were not allowed to make any oral pres- entation. Not Well-Received The Regents' action was not well received by student leaders, due to the vagueness of terms. Future action of the FSM is not definite, although it will hold a meeting Monday night. It is ex- pected that the students will move to test the new definition of a "Hyde Park area." Further dem- onstrations may take place on the steps of Sproul Hall, and in the Telegraph-Bancroft area, where the issue started. The action to be taken against 75 students who have manned ta- bles for soliciting and recruiting on the steps of Sproul Hall has not been definitely defined. The students were mailed letters ask- ing them to appear at the dean of students office. In similar action, the status of 300 teaching assistants has been put in question. The teaching as- sistants have actively supported the student movements. They signed lists notifying the deans that they had taken part in the "illegal activities," along with the students. Yesterday each assistant receiv- ed a letter saying that the deans were not sure if his name was cor- rectly included on the lists. Each assistant was asked to notify the office if his name was to be in- cluded. Economists See Mild GNP Gains By DICK WINGFIELD A continued but moderate growth was forecast for 1965 by the 12th annual Conference of the Economic Outlook yesterday. The Michigan Econometric Forecast set a conservative pace with an estimate of 4.4 per cent increase in Gross National Product. However, most of the conference participants, responding in a questionnaire, envisioned a 5.1 per cent increase in the GNP. This economic barometer is defined as the total of consumer and govern- mental expenditures, capital investment and surplus of exports over imports. Both the forecast and the conference participants predicted the moderate growth would be reflected in reduced corporate profits, By KENNETH WINTER Managing Editor The federal government gave' the University $32 million for re- search last year. What would hap- pen here if some or all of this money were suddenlyrcut off? This was the focal question yes- terday as the Regents debated the merits and problems involved in having a multi-million dollar re- search program. Vice-President for Research A. Geoffrey Norman touched off the, debate as he gave financial sta- tistics and projections on research here. Norman said the University's research in 1963-64, including both federal and non-federal support, totaled $42.2 million-8 per cent higher than in 1962-63.And this year's budget, he predicted, will top last year's by some nine per cent or $4 million. Not 'Federal Grant' University However, Norman asserted, the University "is not becoming a 'fed- eral grant' university"-an insti- tution which has staked its whole future on Washington's generos- ity. Several Regents expressed con- cern about the level of federal support. Regent Frederick C. Matthaei of Ann Arbor pointed out that the federal government is becoming increasingly committed to expen- dituresfor non-research purposes, 'such as the War on Poverty. "What happens if a groupof fed- eral administrators or congress- men decides too much money has gone into research?" Sudden Cutback Regent Carl Brablec of Rose- ville agreed. He cited Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara's re- cent announcement that numer- ous military bases are being clos- ed. "Suppose we received news quite suddenly of a research cut- back in proportion to McNamara's statement. Wouldn't some kind of shudder go through our struc- ture?" Various Regents and adminis- Jfudge Joins OSA Staff Charles Judge, Grad, has been added to the staff of the Office of Student Affairs to work in the general area of student activities and organizations, John Bingley, director of student activities and organizations, announced recently. Judge will assume his position on a part-time basis working di- rectly under John Feldkamp, who is Bingley's assistant. Judge will be working with student activities as well as with fraternities. He, Feldkamp and Bingley will share the administration of stu- dent activities and organizations in what Bingley termed a "team effort" designed to promote great- er flexibility in student affairs. Judge, a graduate student in higher education here, was recent- ly elected to a position on the Board in Control of Student Pub- lications for 1964-65. For the past two years, he has been the resident advisor, of Wenley house, West Quad. He has resigned this position. Judge received his bachelor de- gree in business administration in 1962 and a masters in Far Eastern Studies in 1964, both from the University. trators gave answers to the ques- tions from Matthael and Brablec. These Reasons They stressed these points: -Most important is that they don't expect any radical cutback to occur. "The increasing import- ance of research is being recog- nized by both the government and private industry. I doubt that either party will change very much," Regent Eugene B. Power of Ann Arbor commented. -Even if such a cutback did occur, it could not be absolutely instantaneous, Norman observed. This is because the total researchj effort consists of hundreds of projects, many of which last sev- eral years. Thus, even if new projects were drastically curtailed,' the University would have some time to adjust before the current projects ran out. -Another cushion is the sep- aration of tenure faculty from purely research personnel in terms of where each group's paychecks originate, University President Harlan Hatcher added. Some Fallback Because tenure faculty are paid largely from state money, no one on tenure would find himself with- out a paycheck if federal sup- port stopped. He said the "ma- jor dislocations" would be in the "adjunct" institutions, such as in- stitutions and centers. Everyone admitted, however, that the relatively sudden loss of millions of dollars from any source would entail major readjustments, and setbacks such as the loss of top faculty members. The crucial point, they emphasized, is that Regents Vote To Create no one expects any such thing to occur. Regent Paul Goebel of Grand Rapids added, "I don't think that fear of what might happen in the future should stop us from going out and getting this money, which is of such benefit now to the Uni- versity's teaching program." So for better or for worse, the University will continue to accept increasing numbers of Washing- ton's grants and contracts, Nor- man said. "Our research will grow," he predicted, "but prob- ably not as rapidly as it has, be- cause the disposable time of our faculty and the disposable space is pretty much taken up." Educational Capacity Increased Norman told the Regents that the huge research effort has not "diverted or distorted education- al processes at the University. On the contrary, our educational capacity has been increased." He cited three ways in which, he feels, research reinforces edu- cation: -It provides a "meshing" be- tween research and instructional activities on both graduate and undergraduate levels. For exam- ple, some 1800 graduate students and 1700 undergraduates last year received support from research projects, and 700 PhD candidates were working on project-associat- ed dissertations. -Research programs have been the major source of additions to equipment, totaling about $2.5 million last year; and --The research structure pro- vides a "reserve cadre" for the enlargement of teaching faculty.

Le cturer ' LAWRENCE LOSSING IFC Postpones Discrimination Case Hearing By DONALD FLIPPO The hearing of a fraternity charged with religious discrimina- tion in its selection of members has been postponed indefinitely. The hearing of Trigon fratern- ity before the judicial body of In- terfraternity Council, the IFC Ex- ecutive Committee had been slated for Nov. 24. The postponement of the hear- ing, to give newly-installed alumni officers of the fraternity time to become acquainted with the case, was announced yesterday by IFC President Lawrence Lossing, '65. Indicted Earlier Trigon was indicted in early October by the IFC membership committee which presented the in- dictment to the Executive Com- mittee in a closed session. It was disclosed that Trigon was being charged with a violation of the IFC bylaws which prohibit fraternities from choosing mem- bers according to race, color, re- ligion, creed, national origin or ancestry. The issue in the Trigon case, Lossing said yesterday, is whether the fraternity is violating the "spirit" of that bylaw. The house has what he described a "positive" religious orientation which results in a favoritism of Christian mem- bers. Letter of Law Hence, while the house is in violation of the bylaw "according to the letter of the law," Lossing said the executive committee would have to weigh the signifi- cance of its religious orientation. Once the Executive Committee! acts, and its powers include the right to dismiss Trigon from IFC, the Student Government Council is expected to review the case. SGC also has a membership committee and a judicial tribunal' which can terminate recognition of Trigon as a student group, sub- ject to the approval of SGC and the vice-president for student affairs. The fraternity's termination of membership in IFC or its loss of, student-group status would be totamonmt tn deth for that or- IFC, Panhel Not Affected By Merger By LESLEY FINKELMAN The merger of the activity wings of the Michigan Union and Mich- igan League will not immediately affect the activities of Interfra- ternity Council and Panhellenic Association but it will influence the Union's projects, the presi- dents of these organizations said yesterday. The merger of the two student wings into a co-educational Uni- versity Activities Union, respon- sible to the Union Board of Direc- tors, was approved by the League's Board of Governors Thursday eve- ning. This was the last hurdle to the merger before it goes to the Regents for final approval. The UAC will not affect the two governing boards of the institu- tions which are remaining sepa- rate. Already Cooperate The student activities wings of the Union and League already co- operate in many projects, but in the merger they would work to- gether as one organization instead of two.s, IFC President -Lawrence Lossing, '65, said the merger would not have a major affect on the pro- jects conducted by IFC because there would not be a substantial change in the amount of person- nel attracted to the Union away from IFC. "The Union doesn't interest it- self in our activities except for its participation with us in the pro- jected campus speaker program." Joint Projects IFC and the Union presently conduct concurrent projects, and I feel that in the future their rela- tionship will remain as it is now, Lossing said. Panhel President Ann Wickins, '65, said that the Union-League merger might affect Panhel's ac- tivities in the future, but it is more probable that sorority projects will continue to operate as they do now. "Panhel will always have the legislative and coordinating func- tion's of forming policy for hous- ing units," Miss Wickins said. Added Projects It is possible that the proposed UAC will sponsor some of the serv- ice projects which Panhel current- ly operates, such as concerts and Winter Weekend, she said. "The League and Union work- ing together might be able to con- duct these service projects more effectively than Panhel, but these functions are not Panhel's most important concern," Miss Wickins commented.

Prof. Daniel Suits of the eco- nomics department said the eco- nomic moderation could be traced to the reduced effects of the tax cut, which spurred a seven per cent GNP increase this year., Slow-Down Prof. George Katona of the University'ssurveyaresearch cen- ter saw the slow-down in psycho- logical terms. "In 1963 a stimulus for economic gain was lacking, but in early 1964 the American people found something new and some- thing favorable-the tax cut." He echoed Suits' prediction that the tax stimulant will have worn off although huge excise tax de- creases are being recommended to the Congress. The conference participants also predicted an increase in prices and wages above the 1964 increase. They foresee -a rise in the con- sumer price index of 1.8 points in 1965 as compared to an increase of 1.3 in 1964. Remain Stable The consensus regarding unem- ployment was that it will remain relatively stable at 5.2 per cent in 1965. This forecast was confirmed by Prof. Robert C. Turner of In- diana University who said that the average rate of unemployment will be about 5.5 per cent over the span of the next ten years. Discussing long - range change, Turner observed that the average work week in 1975 should be be- tween 32 and 36 hours "with only modest amounts of moonlighting and overtime." He predicted that productivity between now and 1975 will in- crease at the rate of about 3 per cent annually. Prof. Harold E. Wethey of the history of art department has been named the 1964 Henry Russel Lecturer, the University's highest award for academic and research excellence. The award was given by the Regents yesterday following the recommendation of the University Research Club and consultation with former Russel Lecturers. Wethey will deliver the Russel lecture next spring. He will also be awarded an honorarium of $1,250. Last Winner Prof. William Randolph Taylor of the botany department was the 1963 winner of the lectureship, whose history dates back four decades. It was established in 1920 by a bequest of Henry Russel of Detroit, who received undergraduate and law degrees here in the 1870's. Quarter of Century Wethey has been with the University since 1940. He was cited yesterday for his research in the three major branches of the arts: painting, sculpture and architecture. His specialties include Spanish and Latin American art from the 15th-17th centuries and early Italian baroque works. On these topics he has published numerous articles and book reviews which have gained international acclaim, including the election to the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of Spain. PROF. HAROLD E. WETHEY FOR RESIDENTIAL COLLEGE: Committee Favors Diversified Scholar By LAUREN BAHR The student advisory committee on the residential college is op- posed to overemphasizing social sciences and humanities in the college. "We want all kinds of students who are interested in everything," Burton D. Thuma, associate dean of the literary college told the group recently. "If we set up a curriculum that limits the kinds of students in the college we will only be hurting ourselves." The committee fears that an overly strong emphasis on the humanities and the social sciences will discourage students interested in the sciences from applying to the residential college, The committee further reviewed a report on humanities and social science requirements compiled by four faculty members. The report recommends that the requirements in humanities and social sciences be met by passing a comprehensive examination in the subject at the end of the second year. The student would also under- take the following sequence of courses: -A freshman seminar offered in the first term; and -A sequence entitled "The De- velopment of Western Man," of- fered in the second, third and fourth terms. Freshman seminars would have eight or nine students, taught by I HILTNER LECTURE: Church Told, To Help, Not Judge People one man. There would be weekly papers based on a short list of books such as Marx, Machiavelli, Darwin, Freud, etc. "The Development of Western Man" would be staffed coopera- tively, drawing mainly from the humanities and social sciences. It would be organized historically- chronologically and not by dis- ciplines, the report suggests. It could contain in its core of readings something like the read- ing lists of the current Great Books courses in the literary col- lege. Hence, the course would pro- vide the student with a general overview of history including all areas in the development of civili- zations. No English Course There would be no specific English composition course; the freshman seminar will serve this function. The faculty in all other courses will bear some of the re- sponsibility in evaluating writing skills, the report recommends. The committee strongly endors- ed the idea that English composi- tion should be integrated in other course work. The mention of sophomore com- prehensives in the report prompt- ed much discussion. No explana- tion of what is meant by sopho- more comprehensives was given in the report so the committee branched out into a general dis- cussion of exams. The group seemed to feel that the pressure of grades caused by exams should be alleviated some- what and that a comprehensive of some type could possibly serve this function. Dislikes Comprehensive Yet it expressed concern over the idea of having one compre- hensive at the end of two years which would present a "do or die" alternative. The idea of having exams spac- ed intermittently to give the stu- dents feedback, without grades, met with general approval. Then there would be a comprehensive Department To Replace Laborator Board Also Sets Up Center for Human Development Study By DAVID BLOCK The Regents yesterday turned the University's unique interdisci- plinary program in communication sciences into a full-scale literary college department. At their monthly meeting, the University's governing officers also voted to establish a Center for Human Growth and Develop- ment. The communications science de- partment will offer both under- graduate and graduate training, through instruction and research, in such far-ranging fields as in- formation processing, theory of digital computers and .studies of neural mechanisms. Absorb Functions The department will absorb the teaching and research functions of the unit now called the Com- munication Sciences Laboratory. The chairman and faculty of the department are yet to be named. The University's program in communication sciences was set up in 1958 as the first interdisci- plinary approach to the subject. This program currently enrolls 62 graduate students. Vice-President for Academic Af- fairs Roger W. Heyns said that the communication sciences de- partment will have as the nucleus of its faculty professors from sev- eral other departments whose pri- mary fields of study involve the broad area of information process- ing. Included will be representatives from the psychology department who will concentrate on the hu- man nervous system and teachers BULLETIN By The Associated Press DETROIT (M) - The Ford Motor Co. rushed plans last night to get back into the pas- senger car production next week after a settlement of its Sterling Township parts plant strike. Ford, with all of its assembly lines at a dead halt and more than 80,000 men idle, said it hoped to resume production Tuesday or Wednesday in some The Sterling Plant was view- ed as the key plant in the strike. It produced parts that Ford spokesmen said held up production all over the coun- try.

There will also be faculty mem bers from the linguistics depart- ment who will be concerned with the role of languages as methods By JOCELYN DANIELS >"Modern psychoanalysis does and should challenge the church's sincerity in its concern for human persons," Prof. Seward Hiltner of the Princeton University theological seminary said yesterday. Hiltner's talk on the "Challenge of Psychoanalysis to the Church" was the second of a two part series entitled "Psychoanalysis: Enemy or Ally." He said psychoanalysis is worried that the church is limited by its moral codes in dealing with indviduals. EnuhInformation "We in the church must ask ourselves f we are getting enough information on the depth of human need and if we are aiding our conferees to give needed help instead of trying to judge who needs help," Hiltner said. He explained that the church once refused to discuss alcoholism f::because it was afraid of spreading kntowledge and interest in the ' subject. The alcoholic was denounced as immoral. Hiltner noted the same general attitude today toward the criminal and the juvenile delinquent. Change in Morals To aid the individual, Hiltner advised a revision of the church's attitude on morals. He said this could take into account the psy- chologist's point of view. PROF.
