McDivitt, '59E, are part of the new group which boosted to 16 the total number of astronauts who will man the Unit- ed States space flights, President John F. Kennedy established this program specifically to put a man on the moon in this decade. A National Aeronautics and Space Administration spokesman said the newcomers to the space projects will be trained only for the moon shot, Project Apollo, and for Project Gemini, the stepping stone to the Apollo trip. Flew Missions McDivitt, originally from Chi- cago, flew 145 combat missions in Name Cutler as SRC Head; To Consult Lewis on OSA By DENISE WACKER' Prof. Richard Cutler of the psychology department last week was named chairman of the University Senate's Student Relations Committee, succeeding Prof. Andrew De Rocco, a member of the chemistry department, who has resigned his teaching position at the University effective this semester. However, he will head the SRC only through the end of the current semester since he will go on Korea. He was top in his class at the Air Force test-pilot school. White, a native of San Antonio, Tex., a West Point graduate, is also a test pilot. Others named are: Air Force Maj. Frank Borman; Air Force Capt. Thomas P. Stafford; Neil A. Armstrong; Elliot M. See, Jr.; Navy Lt. Charles Conrad, Jr.; Navy Lt. Cmdr. James A. Lovell, Jr.; and Navy Lt. Cmdr. John W. Young. Robert R. Gilruth, director of the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston, Tex., said there were five basic qualifications for final se- lection : 1) Experience as a jet test pilot, preferably presently engaged in flying high performance aircraft; 2) Experimental flight test sta- tus attained through military service, the aircraft industries for NASA or possession of a certifi- cate of graduation from a military test pilot school;, 3) Possession of a degree in physical or biological sciences or engineering; Citizenship, Age 4) U. S. citizenship, age less than 35 at the time of selection and height six feet or less; and 5) Recommendation from the individual's organization. "The faculty of the engineering college, and particularly those as- sociated with the department of aeronautical and astronautical en- gineering, feel highly honored and pleased that two of the college's former students have been select- ed for future space assignments," Associate Dean Glenn V. Edmon- son said yesterday. "Careful selection of these men reflects the broad-based educa- tional- opportunities provided them during their attendance at the University. We all join in wishing them every success in their new assignments," he concluded. Collegiate Grant Bill' Advances Accord Reached By Senate, House By KENNETH WINTER A long-standing deadlock was resolved yesterday as a congres- sional conference c o m m i t t e e agreed on a $2.35 billion Federal aid for higher education bill. In the House-Senate comprom- ise, universities and colleges fared better than in either of the origin- al bills passed by the House and Senate. The bill is expected to pass quickly with bipartisan back- ing. Specifically, the bill provides:! 1) Classroom Construction - $1.5 billion over the next five years; $900 million in grants, $600 million in loans. The grants, whichj must be matched by funds raised by the schools, are limited tot physical and natural science build- ings, libraries and engineering buildings. Student Aid 2) Student Aid - $600 milliont over the next eight years: a max- imum of $1,000 a year per stu- dent. Twenty per cent of each uni- versity's funds under this provi-f sion may be used as non-reim- bursable loans or scholarships fort especially needy and able students. 3) Junior Colleges - $250 inl capital outlay funds for physical and natural science, engineering and library buildings. Applaud Progressl University officials applauded these developments. University President Harlan Hatcher espe- cially noted the provision for con- struction grants, instead of just loans, as the original Senate billl had included. "Provisions for loans only are of no use to state universities, be-t cause we have no way to borrowt on these funds," President Hatch- er explained. Sorry Diversion President Hatcher expressedi some regret that the construction grants will be confined to science, engineering and library facilities.t "I'm sorry we have to divide con- cerns vital to human beings into these categories," he said. Vice-President for Academic Af- fairs Roger Heyns concurred. Hec was "delighted" that constructionr grants would be available, and added, "the need for more spacet is general-so anything will help."t Heyns suggested that grants for science, engineering and library buildings might free funds for more building in other depart- ments. "However, we do regret that we aren't recognizing at the national level-in the National Defense Education Act or this new bill-the need for strengthening our pro- grams in the humanities and so- cial sciences," he added. The bill also bars use of any of the loan funds for divinity schools, any religious instruction, gymna- siums and stadiums. * * * * Enrollment Hits, Record With 26,018 Registered SC Accepts Gamma Phi Statement Membership Data Adequacy Noted By JEAN TENANDER I Gamma Phi Beta sorority sub- mitted its membership selection practice statement to Student Government Council and it was deemed adequate by Council Presi- dent Steven Stockmeyer, '63, yes- terday afternoon. Panhellenic President Ann Mc- Millan, '63, said the required ma- terial was given to SGC as a re- sult of improved communication since the deadline within the local chapter and between the local and. the national organizations. An in- creased understanding on the part of the national and local of the problem created by Council's re- quest also was a factor, she said. No Procedures Stockmeyer said that as yet no procedures have been set up to deal with those sororities who have failed to submit their statements. However, he will recommend that allowances be made for those who hand them in before any definite hearing procedure is established. There will be disciplinary action Stockmeyer said, but the groups turning in their statements now may not have to appear before Council for a hearing. Gamma Phi Beta was one of the seven sororities who failed to hand in the membership statements in compliance with the May deadline set last semester. All seven sorori- ties have statements on file which did not meet the requirements Council demanded of them. Only Filer So far Gamma Phi Beta is the only house to have passed in the necessary material. Alpha Epsilon Phi, Kappa Del- ta, Phi Mu, Delta Delta Delta, Del- ta Sigma Theta, and Sigma Kappa all face disciplinary action. Changes Individuals desiring .to make changes in their listing in the Student Directory have until Sept. 27 to make them. Student organizations face a Sept. 25 deadline.

De Rocco of the chemistry department, former chariman of the University Sen- ate's Student Relations Committee has been granted a year's leave ofj absence from the University in or- der to direct a project designed to! spot honors students in science sponsored by the National Science Foundation. He will be working under the, auspices of the Inter-University1 Committee on the Superior Stu-l dent {ICSS) which is located at the University of Colorado, he said. The project requires he and his staff to make judgments on the- best ways to identify and develop superior students in science. An accompanying concern is the tra- ditional barrier to meaningful communication between scientists and those in social science and$ humanities, he said. Cite Mythoolgy "The belief that you must be a professional in order to under-f stand the contributions of science to culture is an act of mythology," he said.. A course on the contributions of{ science to culture for humanities majors is an example of the kind of idea he would be considering. J Another is a seminar between the top students in science, social sci- ence, and humanities, he said. i Prof. DeRocco will be travelingr to study honors programs at vari- ous American universities. He willt work closely with a behavioral sci- entist who is specializing in thef study of institutions, he said. I Seek SummaryI At the end of the year he hopesE to achieve a concise summary oft the problem which hopefully willt include some testable statements.

"The Student Relations Com- mittee was established as a con-c tinuing advisory committee to Vice-President for Student Affairs James A. Lewis. "Since he is going on with his; efforts to revise his office, the SRC will go on working with him. We intend to pursue with Lewis the best possible plan for the re-struc- tured OSA. While the policies and revisions made public during the summer are basically workable, we feel there are still some imperfec- tions which need to be corrected.a "The committee fully anticipates being called in to discuss these1 bugs with Lewis," Prof. Cutler1 said.4 universities, "insults the Univer- sity's scientists already doing pi- oneer work on the first manned flight to the moon ." "In suggesting he would start an institute of space research at one of our universities, he demon- strates he doesn't even know of the existence of the Institute of Science and Technology . ." I Education Leader Romney, on Saturday, said, "Michigan historically has been a leader in the field of higher edu- cation. This is the most important reason for the development of the automobile industry in Michigan." Romney also saw the University as the probable location of his pro- posed space research center. Terming education "the most important single function of gov- ernment" Romney tied the future financing of education to the need for economic expansion within the state. Michigan's loss of industry and failure to expand has been the cause of Michigan higher edu- cation's "loss of ground in rela- tionship to other states." Find Room He noted that neither Michigan higher education or Michigan in- dustry is prepared to find room for the children of the postwar baby boom who next year will begin to reach college age. Swainson held an early morning press conference, spoke before a noon faculty luncheon for Swain- son, addressed a capacity crowd of students at the Natural Science Aud., and then met with Univer- sity President Harlan Hatcher and other University officials for a brief informal discussion. Romney toured University hos- pital on Saturday morning, then went on to a 1 p.m. speech to an overflow crowd in the Michigan Union ballroom, followed by a short press conference and ended his stay with a walk down State St. greeting passersby and answer- ing questions posed to him by the crowd surrounding him. Swainson blasted Romney for what he called "me-tooism"- "His speech writers, apparently are running off carbon copies of See STATE, Page 2 City To Meet With Regents The Ann Arbor City Council will meet with the Regents this week I -- 'Negro Gains, U.S. Escort By The Associated Press WASHINGTON - James M. Meredith, a 29-year old Negro seeking admittance into the all- white University of Mississippi, will be protected by federal mar- shals when he enrolls sometime this week, the Justice Department announced last night. Edwin Guthman, information officer for the department, said a marshal will present to registra- tion officials a copy of the court order directing the university to admit Meredith to the all-white institution. Marshal Report Guthman made the disclosure when asked about reports that some deputy marshals had been or- dered to a city near the university from non-Mississippi stations. "Only a few will be there," he said. "They are going to accom- pany Meredith and will have a copy of the court order with them." The department's announcement apparently was its answer to the appeal of Mississippi Gov. Ross Barnett for defiance of the federal court order. The department has also receiv- ed a number of appeals concern- ing Meredith's safety. One was from the Young Adult Council, consisting of 28 student and young adult groups in the United States. Send Telegram From their meeting at Hudson Guild Farm, N.J., the group sent a telegram to Atty. Gen. Robert Kennedy warning of a threat to Meredith's life. The group sent their message after conferring with~ informants in Mississippi. Students for a Democratic So- ciety President Thomas Hayden, Grad, who was present at the meeting, said that he had reports that Meredith would be killed by "anyone in a million." This action, the former Daily editor said, would allow state officials to avoid the embarrassment of going to jailfor defying federal court orders. Consider Action Meanwhile, Barnett and the state college board discussed legal problems in the University of Mis- sissippi desegregation case and the hn,,vd P1:a;8 rs i,,ic in, ,, - out-of-State Undisclosed Graduate, Transfer Enrollment Grows, Dropout Rate Falls By RONALD WILTON A record 26,018 students are en- rolled at the University for resi- dence credit this semester. Surpassing the old record of 25,- 475, set by the 1961 fall credit en- rollment, by 543 the new record total includes students at Ann Ar- bor, Flint College and the Dear-: born Center. According to the Office of Reg- istration and Records the increase is a result of a larger number of transfer students, a decrease in the dropout rate and increases in graduate enrollment. No Breakdowns Contrary to previous practice the office did not break down the total figure to include the sizes of the various classes, and conposi- tion of the various schools. For- merly under the Office for Stu- dent Affairs, the office was in- volved in the recent OSA shake- up and is now under the Vice- President for Academic Affairs. Also not disclosed were figures on the in-state-out-state student ratio. The Legislative Audit Com- mission is reportedly coming to Ann Arbor Thursday for purposes of reviewing such figures with University officials. Unfulfilled Hope The office had expected the $50 enrollment deposit initiated last semester to aid in the early com- pilation of enrollment statistics did not work out as well as had been hoped for. Many students did not learn of it last semester and thus students were allowed. g pay it up through registration. The entering freshman class is probably the most selective ever admitted. Although no figures were announced it is thought that more people applied for admission than last year, and the freshman class is expected to remain nearly the same size. Recent Study Views Policy Of Eisenhower NEW YORK P)-- A Columbia University study issued yesterday credits former President Dwight D. Eisenhower with playing a "much more active role in origin- ating" various aspects of his ad- ministration's defense policysthan is generally believed. The study by Prof. Glenn H. Snyder of the University of Den- ver is entitled "The 'New Look' of 1953" and was conducted under the auspices of Columbia's Insti- tute of War and Peace Studies. It is one of three papers sponsored by the Institute which probe the transformation of America's de- fense posture in the cold war era. Snyder based his analysis large- ly on personal interviews. He con- cludes that most of the defense policies of the Eisenhower years should be attributed to the Presi- dent, and not to members of his Cabinet. Snyder says the "new look" was based on the belief that American policy was no longer to consist of improvised emergency reactions to Soviet initiative but was to be formulated according to our own along-range calculations of nation- al security. The policy emphasized the de- sire to bring American power to it mnxm,,m a te aa te .- APA COMPANY: Repertoire Players Arrive in Ann Arbor By MARJARY BRAHMS Repertoire theatre has come to Ann Arbor. The first group of the Association of Producing Artists, fresh from Broadway success, arrived Sunday at Willow Run Airport. On hand to meet the group was Prof. Robert C. Schnitzer, execu- tive director of the University's new Professional Theatre Program, of which the APA is a part. Among those arriving were Rosemary Harris, who this summer starred opposite Sir Laurence Olivier in England, Enid Markey, and Ann Meacham. Long Career Miss Markey has a long, distinguished Broadway record, includ- ing "Happy Birthday" and "Mrs. McThing" with Helen Hayes. Miss' Meacham was a star of last season's "A Passage to India" and played the title role in the off-Broadway version of Ibsen's "Hedda Gabler." The coming of the APA to Ann Arbor, and the concept of a pro- fessional theatre program in a university community, is generally recognized as a milestone in the growth of American theatre. The APA has been engaged for a three year contract, presenting a total of eight productions yearly in a Fall Festival and a Shakespearean Fes- tival. Each festival season will be followed by a statewide tour by{ the APA. Pioneer Project This theatre program has been designed by Prof. Schnitzer and 11 I
