:U' Growth: Expands the Status Quo

1964 Enrollment and Projected Increases
(Graduate Students Included)
Percent of Increase

By ROBERT rIPPLER
and WILLIAM BENOIT
While increasing in size be-
Whl nraigi ieb-,tween now and 1975, the Univer-
sityplans to maintain the status
quo in the characteristics of its
student body, the proportions of
its faculty and the emphases of
its operations, a report released
yesterday by the Office of Aca-
demic Affairs indicates.
Subject to review and evaluation
by the faculty and the adminis-
tration, the report charts "desired
growth"--i.e. increases commen-
surate with present facilities, ex-
pected funds and population pres-
sures - for all 17 University
schools.
Included in the report are plans
to maintain the following ratios
the same as at present in spite of
growth: in-state to out-state stu-
dents, students to faculty, grad-
uates to undergraduates. In ad-
dition, the report foresees neglig-
ible changes in the rate of re-
search to nonresearch operations.
Outlined
If the University achieves the
desired growth outlined in the
report total enrollment will jump
from the present level' of 29,103
to 41,797 in 1970 and 50,186 by
1975. That is a total increase
from 1964 to 1975 of 72 per cent.
The report noted that its esti-
mates -and projections may be al-
tered if Michigan follows through
with its plan to submit a joint
budget increase with other schools
in the near future.
However, in growing at this

rate, the University would merely
do its share in educating the
booming student population of
Michigan, the report's figures in-
dicate. Present University enroll-
ment equals 14.3 per cent of all
students enrolled in Michigan col-
leges and universities.
Projected figures indicate that
the 1975 enrollment will equal
13.9 per cent of all students en-
rolled in Michigan's colleges and
universities.
Present Levels
According to the report, the
University intends to maintain at
roughly present levels, at least
until 1975, three ratios:
--The ratio of in-state to out-
of-state students. The report lists
the maintenance of this ratio as
a "basic assumption." This year,
the student body is composed of
73 per cent "Michigandresidents
and 27 per cent nonresidents.
-The ratio of students to fac-
ulty. It is now one teacher for
every 14.8 students. By 1975, the
University expects it to be one
teacher for every 15.8 students.
-The ratio of graduates to un-
dergraduates. "According to pres-
ent conceptions, there will not be
a marked change in 'student
mix'," the report states. "Emphasis
will continue on the enrollment of
graduate and graduate-profession-
al students along with strong un-
dergraduate programs."
Review
A review of a breakdown of
projected enrollment increases in
schools and colleges shows a pro-
portionally much higher increase

for non-Ann Arbor University cen-
ters than for Ann Arbor proper
between now and 1975.
Ann Arbor enrollment is ex-
pected to rise from 26,050 to 42,-
471 (63 per cent) while enroll-
ment at Dearborn, Flint and
Graduate Study Centers is ex-
pected to rise from 3,053 to 7,-
715 (153 per cent).
The largest increase is slated
for the University Flint College,
an enrollment rise from the pres-
ent 636 to 4000 in 1975, over 500
per cent.
Second
The second largest increase is
for Dearborn, a jump from the
present 677 to 1900 in 1975, an in-
crease of 180 per cent.
The pharmacy college (97.9
per cent), the architecture and
design school (96.1 per cent) and
the nursing school (76.1 per cent)
have the three next largest ex-
pected increases. The expected in-
crease for the literary college
(from 12,927 to 19,796, or 53 per

cent) is 10 per cent below the 63
per cent anticipated increase by
1975 for the Ann Arbor campus as
a whole.
The report explains that the es-
tablishment of future residential
colleges may replace to an extent
growth in the literary college.
"The projected enrollment (of the
literary college) indicates the need
for growth in liberal arts. To the
extent that these can be met
via the residential colleges, growth
of the literary college can be pro-
portionately reduced."
Mention of the absolute im-
portance of state funds in carry-
ing out these growth plans is made
three times in the slim, 17-page
report. "If support (for expansion)
is not forthcoming, it will be nec-
essary for downward adjustments
to be made in the plans for
growth," the report emphasizes.
The report is the result of two
year's work by personnel of each
of the University's schools and col-
leges. President Harlan Hatcher

in the spring of 1962 asked each
of the schools and colleges to
describe its program and direction
of future growth.
Each unit was asked to indi-
cate its "desired enrollment" for
1970 and 1975-a figure taking
into account revenues anticipated,
present facilities and population,
pressures.
The reports of the schools were
submitted to the Advisory Council
on Academic Affairs-an advisory
gioup to Vice-President for Aca-
demic Affairs Roger W. Heyns
composed of deans, research direc-
tors, and Office of Academic Af-
fairs staff-and discussions of the
plans of each unit were held.
Further discussions on the plans
are yet to be held among facul-
ties of the schools and colleges
and University Senate commit-
tees. Final plans will be present-
ed to President Hatcher and his
staff for evaluation, revision and
eventual presentation to the Re-
gents.

Lecture on S atire

WASHINGTON (W) --President
Lyndoh B. Johnson called yester-
day for closer ties with Western
allies but said the United States
is prepared to discuss with the
Soviet Union any proposal that
might strengthen the chances of
peace'.
He stressed, however, that any
negotiations with Moscow would
be in full consultation with this
country's allies.
In a speech at Georgetown
University, Johnson made what
seemed to be a conciliatory ges-
ture toward French President
Charles de Gaulle, saying this
country seeks to reason with, not
to dominate, its Western allies.
"We do not seek to have our way,
but to find a common way,"
Johnson said.
In a reference to the proposed
North Atlantic Treaty Nuclear
Naval Force, which de Gaulle op-
poses, Johnson said any new plan
for handling'of weapons so power-
ful deserves careful discussion.
"No solution will be perfect in
the eyes of everyone," he added.
"But the problem is there. It must
be solved. And we will continue
to work for its solution."
Johnson received an honorary
GOP Meeting
Condemns Split
DENVER (YP)-The chairman of
the Republican governors, Robert
A. Smylie of Idaho, called yester-
day for a change in the party's
leadership before there is a "splin-
tering situation" from which there
might be no retreat.
"The image has to be changed",
and the party put in the middle
of the American road, declared
Sfylie at a news conference.
The Idaho governor made clear
that in insisting that a change of
leadership is needed that he was
referring to the Republican Na-
tional Committee and its chair-
man and protege of Barry Gold-

degree of Doctor of Laws, the
same honorary degree which was
awarded posthumously to Presi-
dent John F. Kennedy.
Johnson also said efforts must
be made to increase the unity of
Europe "as a key to western
strength and a barrier to resur-
gent and erosive nationalism."
His speech drew applause at
several points, the first time when
he said, "We must all make sure
that the Federal Republic of Ger-
many is treated as an honorable
partner in the affairs of the
West." He said no one seeks to
end by force the "grim and dan-
gerous injustice" of a divided
Germany.

I By JULIE FITZGERALD
Satire as a literary form is
only possible in a society where
a consensus of -values is common
to the majority of the people.
A deterministic, mobile society
generally doesn't engender satire
ic literature.
This conclusion was reached by'
Prof. Marvin Felheim and Prof.
Robert Haugh, both of the Eng-
lish department, at a lecture spon-
sored by the Union Cultural Af-
fairs Committee last night.
GSC Calls .for
Housing Action
At its meeting last night, the
Graduate Student Council passed
a motion concerning housing for
graduate students.
As a result of the motion, GSC
will urge the University to build
both dormitories and co-ed apart-
ments.
GSC will encourage the con-
struction of modest apartments so
that rents can be lowered.

The lecture, entitled "Satire and
Modern Fiction," was begun by
Felheim who defined satire as a
literary form which explores and
exposes situations for the purpose
of amendment. "The satirist has
a moral purpose," he said.
Felheim said satire is concern-
ed with manners and morals of
society rather than of the individ-
ual, unless the individual is rep-
resentative of a type.
"Accentuation and exaggeration
are the methods of satire," he
said. He cited Jonathan Swift's
"Gulliver's Travels" where Swift
advocated solving the overpopula-
tion problem in Ireland by eating
all the children as an example.
Felheim said the satirist starts
with the assumption that the peo-
ple in his society are materially
well-off but are intellectually frus-
trated because there appears te,
be no meaning in the surface val-
ues of society.
Passive Society
"This passive society is' at-
tacked by the satirist who as-
sumes that by seeing its faults, a
society is capable of reforming
itself and therefore he offers no
solution," Felheim added.
Felheim and sex and bureauc-
racy are two areas where Ameri-
can society is vulnerable. "Every-
one is interested in sex and no
one can live without bureaucracy,"
hg said.
There may be a girl in Stock-
well who has never been found,"
he said.
History of Satire
Haugh continued the discussion
by tracing the history of satire
in 20th Century American and
English literature.
He cited J. P. Marquand who
he termed "a determinist who
would have liked to be a satirist,"
as a writer whose works reflect-
ed the mobility and determinism
of the 'first third of the century.
"The satirist needs a consensus
on which people agree and a rela-
tive stability in society. Determ-
inism and mobility are not con-
ducive to satire," he said.,
Consensuses
He noted that as more areas of
agreement appear, there are more
fields of satire. "We have only,
recently reached the point where
the satirist could attack FreudianI
jargon," he said.
Tennessee Williams'."Baby Doll"
and Joseph Heller's "Catch 22"
were examples he gave of sexual
and military satire.
Haugh cited the growing knowl-

Californiastate troopers yester-
day arrested 801 student demon-
strators who Wednesday invaded
the University of California at
Berkeley administration building
and staged an all-night sit-in.
The students were arrested
amidst cries of police brutality,
for what University of California
President Clark Kerr termed "ir-
responsible and illegal action."
Under orders from California Gov.
Edmund G. Brown, the state
troopers, augmented by local po-
lice, moved into the administration
building at 3:45 a.m. yesterday
and started to haul the limp dem-
onstrators off to jail. Students who
left voluntarily were not taken
into custody.
Evacuation was completed by
3:15 p.m. yesterday afternodn. At
one point, the number of sympa-

thetic students climbing into the
building was greater than the
number police were remoying.
In related actions, teaching
assistants have gone on strike, and
astudents are picketing all en-
trances to the campus and all ma-
jor buildings. The teaching assist-
ants not on strike refused to cross
picket lines.
The action of the teaching
assistants has thrown the campus
into chaos, the Daily Californian,
the Berkeley student newspaper,
reported last night by telephone.
"With the graduates on strike,
more than 50 per cent of the
classes have been cancelled, and
mid-terms have likewise been can-
celled," a spokesman for the paper
said.
"Delirious as the non-demon-
strating students are over this,
the general consensus is that the
Free Speech Movement has gone

FIdentity with Death:
Studies of Hiroshima
By THOMAS FRIEDMAN
"For the explosion-affected populace of Hiroshima the strong
identity with death paradoxically was enough to maintain life,"
Robert Lifton, professor of psychoanalysis at 'Yale University, said
yesterday.
Lifton spoke in Lane Hall on the "Atomic Bomb Experience in
Hiroshima."
"For those explosion-affected victims within the city limits
there was the feeling of the whole word ending. There was no
panic, but a ghastly stillness. I
was not alive' said one victim."
Lifton interviewed survival vic-
tims in a recent study of the
psychological ramifications of the
A-bomb explosion.
"The more articulate victims in-
terviewed Spoke of the helpless:<>;
abandonment. Yet with all of this
it would appear that the populace
would be unable to avoid mass
psychosis;" Lifton said.
The mechanism which accounts
for the small number of psycho-
logical disturbances was a "psyche
closing-off," he said. "The people
ceased to feel. Emotional reaction
was just turned off. 'A paralysis
overcame my mind,' another vic-
tim said.
"Beyond this immediate reaction
to the horror, there followed self-
condemnation. The survivors felt .''
shame and guilt. 'Why did I survive?' was the question which plagued
the victims who were not immediately affected."
Lifton asked the explosion-affected victims a series of questions
pertaining to their reaction weeks following the blast. The survivors
who were not immediately affected usually'developed the radiation
symptoms," he said. These symptoms are such things as loss of hair,
blood abnormalities and general body deterioration.
"The continuous devastation resulted in a strong identification

i

too far, and both the FSM and
the administration are in the
wrong," the spokesman claimed.
Senate
The faculty Academic Senate
met in an ad hoc session, with
over 700 of the 1200 faculty mem-
bers present. They strongly con-
demned Brown's action, declaring
they adhor "the presence of the
California Highway Patrol on
campus."
They issued a three-point state-
ment after yesterday's massive
arrests.
"We recommend," the faculty
statement read:
-"That the new and liberalized
rules for campus political action
be declared in effect and enforced,
pending their improvement;
-"That all pending campus ac-
tion against students for acts oc-
curing before the present date be
dropped;
-"That a committee, selected
by and responsible to the Aca-
demic Senate, be established, to
which students may appeal deci-
sions of the administration re-
garding penalties for violations re-
lating to offenses arising from
political action, and that deci-
sions of this committee be final."
Jailed
The protestors were jailed, with
bail set at $250 to $3200 each.
Mario Savio, the leader of the
FSM and yesterday's demonstra-
tion was reportedly placed in soli-
tary confinement.
Prominent faculty members are
reportedly raising money for the
students' bail.
Previous to' yesterday's arrests,
the teaching assistants, equivalent
to University teaching fellows
.here, said they would strike for
several days if police action was
taken.
Brown acted independently of
the university, Berkeley sources
told The Daily. He ordered the
Highway Patrol to the campus
when he thought the situation
had gotten out of hand.
Both the Daily Californian and
the administration spokesman
said they heard reports that the
Academic Senate passed a resolu-
tion asking for the resignation of
Chancellor Edward W. Strong,
Berkeley's chief administrator.
AAUP
Prof. John H. Reynolds, Berke-
ley chapter chairman of the
American Association of Univer-
sity Professors, issued a statement
demanding removal of Strong.
"The present crisis cannot be
stilled unless there is a complete
amnesty and a new chief campus
official appointed who has the
complete confidence of the uni-
vei'sity," said the statement ap-
proved by the chapter's board of
directors.
In Sacramento late yesterday
Brown said he assumed "full re-
