LXXIII, No. 77 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1962 SEVEN CENTS EIGHT PAGES Year in Review (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first in a two-part series presenting The Daily's annual review of the University's top ten stories during the year. The second part, to appear tomorrow, will feature student activities and organi- zations, speaker policy, out-of-state students, The Daily crises, and The Professional Theatre Program.) By GERALD STORCH and RONALD WILTON If there were one phrase which might best characterize the past year for the University, it would be "academically-oriented." The University attempted to lay greater stress upon its education aims along a number of fronts: in a revised Office of Student Affairs, in a new Office of Academic Affairs, in other student, faculty and administrative actions. Other major events during 1962 included the perennial financial problems, the out-of-state student hassle,ua new controversial speaker bylaw, the activities and troubles of Student Government Council, the all-campus referendum supporting continued affiliation with United States National Student Association, The Daily crisis and the establish- ment of the new in-residence Association of Producing Artists. Top Ten The 10 top stories and trends: 1) After months of intensive study, the student-faculty Office of Student Affairs Study Committee submitted the now-famous Reed Report (named after its chairman, Prof. John W. Reed of the Law School) to Vice-President for Student Affairs James A. Lewis last February. In May, the Regents unanimously endorsed the report's philosophy section, thus providing, for the first time, a concrete statement of the University's administrative and educational goal: Stimulate Students "To stimulate in each student the maximum intellectual growth of which she is capable and to enable him through resultant develop- ment of character and abilities to make maximum contribution to his society." The Regents then authorized Lewis to make any necessary structural or personnel changes in concert with the philosophy. The OSA revisions came last August..Discarding the Reed Re- port's recommendation for a "dean of students," and the Alumnae Association's demand for retention of a dean of women, Lewis decided to abolish the functions of a dean of men and dean of women. Directorships He replaced them with three functional directorships and four special assistantships. Former Dean of Men Walter B. Rea was named special assistant to the vice-president and director of financial aids. Former Acting Dean of Women Elizabeth Davenport was also made a special assist- ant, as were Peter Ostafin and Mark Noffsinger, who were named co- ordinators of counseling. Former assistant dean of men John Bingley was made director of student organizations and activities. The housing directorship was left unfilled as Lewis reported difficulty in finding a person capable of handling the varied responsibilities of the post, though he expects to make the appointment before next fall. Advisory Committee In November a student-faculty OSA advisory committee met with Lewis for the first time to discuss areas of concern to the office, and will continue to meet monthly. 2) Recognizing the increased complexity of educational adminis-i tration, the University last February established an additional vice- presidency. Marvin L. Niehuss, formerly vice-president and dean of faculties, was named executive vice-president. In this position, Niehuss serves as acting University president when President Harlan Hatcher is out of town, advises the President on important policy issues and con- tinues to act as the University's chief lobbyist in Lansing. Swelling Emphasis Meanwhile, former literary college dean Roger W. Heyns was given Niehuss's former responsibilities with the faculty. As vice-presi- dent for academic affairs, Heyns's chief concerns are the swelling graduate-professional emphasis,, curricula requirements and faculty quantity and quality. The latter area seems to be in better shape than usual, as the st'aff salary increases kept the faculty attrition rate last spring very low.g y Still Searchingc The search is still on for Heyns's successor as literary college dean, with hopes for an appointment in time for next fall. Burton D. Thuma is currently the acting dean.l 3) Last May's tuition hike and the annual legislative appropria- tion head the list of the University's financial concerns during 1962. The burden of the tuition hike fell on the out-of-state students. Literary college freshmen and sophomores in this group saw their fees jump from $750 to $900. Juniors and seniors were hit with an even bigger raise as their tuition zoomed from the same $750 base to $960, a $210 increase. No Hike There was no bike for in-state freshmen and sophomores. Upper- class Michigan resident charges went from $280 to $310 a year. Out-of-state graduate students were also hit hard as their fees climbed from $750 to $1,000 a year. In-state graduate student assess- ments rose from $280 to $350. In the various professional schools increases ranged from $220 to $350 for out-of-state students and from $60-$130 for in-state. -State Appropriation In June the state Legislature appropriated $3.85 million to the University for capital outlay projects. Included in this sum was a1 $750,000 first payment for the new music school building, $350,000t for renovating the Medical Center, $750,000 to remodel the central1 heating plant and $2 million as part payment for the Physics-Astrono- my Bldg. The University this summer received an appropriation of $36.7 million from the Legislature for operating funds. When coupled with revenue from tuition fees, this amount brought the University's gen- eral funds budget to around $50 million. The Regents later set aside $3 million of this for increases in faculty salaries based on the merit system. At their October meeting the Regents approved a state appro-j priation request of $44.2 million for the 1963-64 academic year. This was lower than the $45.8 million that had been requested the yearI before. The increased tuition rates are expected to take up the slack. t Administrative Decisionst 4) The past year saw a number of major administrative decisions and developments take place. Among them were: YEAR-ROUND OPERATION-Work continues on the University'sz gradual transition to- full-year operations, slated to begin in fall 1964.t Deans in the schools and colleges are studying means of adjustingt their units to the special split-semester summer session. The entirej transition cannot be made, however, unless the Legislature comes through with about an extra $1 million to pay for the increased faculty Stays All Action Council Postpones Amendment Due to Protests of ACLU, IQC By RICHARD KRAUT Upon the recommendation of Mayor Cecil O. Creal, City Council last night postponed all further action on a proposed amendment to the disorderly conduct chapter of the City Code. The amendment would have made it a misdemeanor to go to any place "for the purpose of provoking a fight or quarrel." Mayor Creal's communication, stating that "due to the great .AAUP Investigates Case After Request by Shapiro UTILIZE ECONOMIC CAPABILITIES: Reuther Outlines Peace Plan By ELLEN SILVERMAN amount of discussion and debate that has taken place on this issue, Othe amendment would lose its ef- fect," was accepted by a 9-1 vote. John R. Laird, a Republican, was the sole dissenter. JOHN F. KENNEDY ... Cuban policy Sees Delay IntCompact Wth Soviets WASHINGTON VIP) - President John F. Kennedy told the nation yesterday it will be some time be- fore the United States can "come to any real understandings" with Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrush- chev, but he added "We are bet- ter off with the Khrushchev view than we are with the Chinese Communist view." Speaking in an unprecedented filmed television-radio interview 23 months after taking office, the chief executive based his cautious view on the possibilities of fruit- ful talks with Khrushchev on the fact that the Soviet Union, only two months ago, tried secretly to "change the balance of power' by shipping nuclear missiles into Cuba. Kennedy said the Soviets were planning to announce the coup in November but were foiled by the determined stand taken by the United States in forcing removal of the offensive weapons. Discussing one of the still un- resolved offshoots of October's Cu- ban crisis, Kennedy virtually abandoned hope that the Cuban missile and bomber bases would be opened to effective inspection. Temporary Approval A record will be kept, however, of City Council's temporary ap- proval of the amendment two weeks ago. "If any action occurs which could have been prevented by the proposed amendment, then City Council can give its final ap- proval of the measure," Mayor Creal's communication said.. Before making his recommenda- tion, the mayor conferred with City Administrator Guy C. Larcom and Chief of Police Roland J. Gainsley, both of whom suggested the amendment. He cited commu- nications from Interquadrangle Council and the Washtenaw Chap- ter of the American Civil Liber- ties Union, which protested City Council's temporary approval of the amendment. The ACLU report said that the amendment would be unnecessary and would endanger individual li- berty. "Our concern," the state- ment said, "is directed at the wis- dom rather than the constitution- ality of the proposed amendment." Adequate Police The amendment, according to the ACLU, would have been un- necessary because "a vigilant and adequately staffed police force can usually take steps to prevent the acts of violence that have aroused our community." In addition, the ACLU warned that to enforce the amendment, "a police officer might well detain and search citizens without any objective evidence that the citizens possess a criminal intent." NY To Stay Out of Strike NEW YORK (A") - Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller said yesterday the city's newspaper strike was in the, hands of federal mediators and he did not plan to intervene di-, rectly at the present time. He expressed willingness to step in, however, if the opportunity develops.- Life magazine will publish next Mnoonday a special 64-page edition, devoted only to local New York news and sold only in the metro- politan areas, an outgrowth of the printers' strike. The only way to avoid a drift to disaster is by waging a war for peace, utilizing all of the United States' economic capabilities, for she must win peace with a effort comparable to that which won war, Walter Reuther, president of the United Automobile Workers, said yesterday. Reuther argued that the United States economy is not producing at fullest capacity now, but if it could, 25 per cent of the increase in the Gross National Product could be utilized to aid under- developed nations. This would con- stitute an economic challenge to Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrush- chev which he could not avoid. If the United States can chal- lenge the Soviet Union to such a "peaceful" economic race to aid the "human family," the Russians would be forced to accept the challenge and during the contest divert money from arms develop- ment to economic uses, Reuther told an audience at the Inter- national Arms Control Sympo- sium. 'Half-Hearted' "Half-way, half-hearted efforts are not enough for peace," he continued. There is a need for a "total effort to put into motion positive forces to act against the negative forces of war. "Although Khrushchev is con- vinced that afree society cannot respond to the challenge of peace in the same way that it responas to the challenge of war, I am convinced that it can," Reuther said. The United States lost $550 bil- lion from unemployment in the last 10 years. This is the margin of survival between freedom and tyranny, he added. Mobilize Waste If this waste could be mobilizedi and increase the GNP by one- fourth, the forces put into motion would be forces which Khrushchev couldn't meet. With such a challenge in the economic sphere, Khrushchev1 would have to decide to stay in the race or forfeit it. Since he cannot afford to forfeit, the con-1 test between the United States and the Soviet Union would be switched from a sterile Cold Wara to one of economic predominance. "Khrushchev knows that the margin of power comes from the1 minds and loyalties of uncom- mitted people and these are the{ people who will be aidedthrough an economic sphere," Reuther de- clared. UN Universities He also suggested that this type of economic plan could be put into effect through the United Nations. To supplement these ac- tions UN regional universities could be used, where those people from underdeveloped nations cai acquire skills and knowledge tot aid their own nations.C "I have unlimited faith in thex capability of free men. We cant meet the challenge with all of the United States' resources and know-how," he said. WALTER REUTHER VICTOR KARPOV ... economic capabilities ... participates in symposium Karpov, Matteson Speak On Arms Control Question By MALINDA BERRY Both the United States and the Soviet Union feel there is need for more agreement on basics before much more progress can be made in the field of disarmament. Victor Karpov, first Secretary of the Soviet Embassy and Robert Matteson of the United States Arms Control and Disarmament Agen- cy opened the International Arms Control Symposium yesterday with discussions of the two countries'f' Reduce Indirect Costs At Willow Run Facilities By PHILIP SUTIN viewpoints on the subject of Arms Control and disarmament. "The main purpose of such a seminar is not to solve all the problems of disarmament and thus usurp the jurisdiction of the Ge- neva conferences but to find the better approach for solving them," Karpov said. 'Arms Control' The term "International Arms Control" can be interpreted in different ways. We in the Soviet Union have quite a different no- tion than most Americans, he con- tinued. It means control over arms, not their elimination; "Disarmament" implies elimination. "All steps leading to the com- plete elimination of all arms are useful," but these steps are only useful if they lead to the solution of the core of disarmament. Menace of War We take the question to be how to get rid of the menace of ther- mo-nuclear war which is hanging over humanity. "It even knocks at our doors, as it did during the Caribbean crisis." We feel we should ge rid of all armaments and all armies. That is why we feel mere control over armaments and forces cannot, solve the problem," Karpov con- tinued. The Soviet program was pre- sented in draft last March in Geneva. We do not take this to be a final draft. We have made changes and will continue to do so, taking into account our part- ners in the negotiations, he con- tinued. 'Essence of Program' There are ,three major steps which constitute the "essence of the Soviet program": eliminate all Soviet nuclear delivering devices; liquidate all mass destruction weapons; then eliminate all armed forces and defense spending. The main question for the So- viet government is inspection. "We feel this question is raised super- ficially and is not necessarv to the question of disarmament," he con- tinued. "We have data that proves the question of inspection is much easier to solve than previously thought;" it can be done only by national control Cohen Replies To Voice Plea Voice Political Party yesterday received a telegram from Assistant Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare Wilbur J. Cohen, stating that surplus food distribution is Cites Paradox Of Cold War "The paradox of our times is that people of the United States and Russia want peace, while their leaders are engaged in an arms build-up," Robert Matteson of the United States Arms Control and Disarmament Agency said. The events of today emphasize that we must halt the arms race, and a beginning must be made towards disarmament and strengthened international peace- keeping arrangements, he con- tinued. The United States, to move in this direction, has a new and ex- panding Arms Control and Dis- armament Agency, the only one of its type in the world. Uneasy Peace This uneasy peace exists in the midst of an arms race and a world split into conflicting ideologies', Matteson said. The arms race is also charac- terized by the size of military budgets and the amount and per- centage of world resources dedi- cated to building arms. The talks are at an impasse now at Geneva. Russia has continued to reject a bid for on-site inspec- tions and to push for cessation of outer-space and underground test- ings. Problem Areas "There are four main areas of problems," Matteson noted: 1. Differences over verification: Russia feels inspection should come only after general and com- plete disarmament has been achieved. 2. The United States proposal for strengthening peace-keeping mechanisms during the reduction. Russia feels that mere reduction of arms will guarantee a peaceful world. Transition Stages 3. Difficulty determining the transitions between the stages of the Russian proposals and the timing of the disarmament pro- cess. 4. The order of priority between stage one and stage two and in definitions concerning what are and what are not armed forces. "The priority policy issues for study in 1963 and beyond as I see them are these," Matteson noted: a net re-evaluation of the dis- armament policies; further study on agreement not to disseminate knowledge to non-nuclear nations; Local Group Also Views MSU Firing View Probe as Being 'Normal Procedure'; In Preliminary Stage By DAVID MARCUS and JEAN TENANDER The Michigan State University- Oakland chapter of the American Association of University Profes- sors is investigating the failure of MSU-O to renew the contract of Prof. Samuel Shapiro at his own request, Prof. William Hammerly, head of the M.3U-O chapter of the AAUP, said yesterday Inquiries into reasons for dis- missal are a part of "normal pro- cedure," Prof. Hammerly said. At present, the probe into Prof. Sha- piro's dismissal is in the prelim- inary stage and Prof. Hammerly refused to elaborate on any of the AAUP's data on the matter. The University chapter of the AAUP in a meeting yesterday also discussed Prof. Shapiro's case and found that there was no apparent violation of academic freedom, ac- cording to Prof. Ralph A. Loomis of the engineering college and 0- cal AAUP head. Prof. Shapiro has still refused to make any comment on the rea- h sons behind his dismissal.Since the question of academic freedom violation first entered the case, Prof. Shapiro has said only that he is unsure of his legal position and is unwilling to make a state- ment. The MSU Poard of Trustees ac- cepted Shapiro's dismissal at their meeting last Frday. At that titne a letter from MSU-O Chancellor Durward B. Varner was read to MSU Presidrr't John A.' Hannah explaining MSTt-O's position in the matter. The letter made a attempt to clarify the issues in- volved in the case. Chancellor Varner pointed out that there was no discrimination involved in the decision to dis- miss Prof. Shapiro. He also said that there was a danger that pro- fessors would begin to feel that the surest way to win tenure was to become "controversial."'He said 'ne would neither dismiss nor re- tain a faculty member on the basis of such opinion. Issue Opinions On Dismissal In the light of new develop- ments, the Ad-hoc Committee for the Re-instatement of Professor Shapironhas reconsidered its evi- dence and, at a "meeting Sunday night, has renamed itself the Ad- hoc Committee for the Protection of Academic Freedom. A second organization, the Young Democratic Club, issued a statement last night announcing their policy on the Shapiro ques- tion. The club said that "we do not believe that a satisfactory case against the action of MSU-O can be established." Loyal Troops Back Senghor DAKAR, Senegal (R) - Troops loyal to Senegalese President Leo- pold Senghor blocked an uprising by Premier Mamadou Dia yester- day and trapped him and his col- laborators in the government's ad- ministrative building. The left-leaning premier had tried to take over supreme power to prevent his ouster by Parlia- ment. He sent police to occupy the National Assembly building. Four of the assembly's 80 deputies were arrested. However, 48 other deputies met at the home of Assembly President Lamine Gueve with special ap- proval of the president, who acted as guardian o0 the constitution. The deputies voted to oust Dia. Seven members of Dia's cabinet joined in the revolt against the premier. As a result of federal insistence, the indirect cost of Willow Run research is being computed at a lower rate than that of research done on iain campus, Director of Research Administration Robert E. Burroughs explained yesterday. The provisional rates, subject to change at the end of the year, at Willow Run is 47 per cent of the direct cost, while the main campus rate is 55 per cent. The % University is not too happy with the accounting procedure change, but there is little it can do about Cristad it, Burroughs said. Move Projects "The difficulty arises as re- . search projects may be moved from Willow Run to main campus . or the reverse," he explained. "It will be more expensive to the Uni- versity to determine where pro- jects are being done." As the University currently does not keep track of project locations, this task will increase indirect costs which will be passed on to the government, he said. "There is little the University. can do about it," Burroughs de- clared. "From a dollars and cents and accounting view there is no- ">': ;"s... xr thing wrong, butvit will introduce a management problem for the University."{ .as Snow }}T u C 1; v f v f f. t e t: n r V t: 'Wait and See' The TTniversity will take a wait ', ++..qq , , q :; .1,^,:iiM :i;:,v,{i}'. :i"F.Z": 7 .1,':' ; ".:' $:' i :i": :: >;;: ^: ;:; .;" .}
