The proposed regulations, contained in a set of working papers, will be formally legislated at tomorrow's regularly scheduled Council meeting. They call for the establishment of a membership committee to initiate procedings against those groups suspected of discriminatory (practices and for a membership .JJ "... l.1. ti "}cam f .4 'rrr f+5 its rir Y.r Ri Report Urges Appropriations Increase By MICHAEL SATTINGER "The comparative level of appropriations to higher educa- tion in Michigan must be improved if the present assignments to Michigan institutions are to be carried out in an acceptable manner," a report released last night by the Coordinating Council for Public Higher Education said. The comprehensive report of faculty needs in Michigan higher education was prepared by the University's Robert Wil- liams, assistant to the vice-president for academic affairs. Two more reports on enrollment and admissions and phy- sical plant needs will be submitted to Ira Polley, executive director of the Michigan Council of State College Presidents. Aid Groups The \report was prepared "for the purpose of assisting the Legislatuie, governor and the governor's Citizens Committee on Higher Education and other interested parties to understand the present acute needs for adequate financial support and the impact of the tidal wave of students who will enter Michigan colleges and universities in 1964 and thereafter as freshmen." Michigan colleges and universities today enroll 180,000 stu- dents apd employ 9000 teachers, the report states. Total freshman enrollment at all Michigan institutions has remained steady at about 40,600 students .for 1961-63. But for 1964 the number of entering freshmen is estimated to jump to 50,750. And for 1965 the estimate is 63,400. Need 4000 Teachers Michigan institutions will need an additional 4000 instruc- tors to provide four years of undergraduate education to the increased freshman classes of 1964 and 1965. The teacher-student ratio has decreased 10.7 per cent in the last five years, from 1:18.5 to 1:20.5. To reduce the current ratio to that of 1957-58 would require approximately 1000 more teachers than are currently provided. As an illustration of the problems, the report creates two theoretical institutions formed over a four year period. The in- coming freshmen classes of 10,150 and 12,650 represent the enrollment increases over present figures for 1964 and 1965. The resulting institutions would be larger than the University. Graduate Needo Michigan colleges and universities will need 1500 addi- tional teachers to provide for the increase in graduate enroll- ment between 1963-68, the report continues. The enrollment in post-baccalaureate programs in Michigan is estimated in the report to increase at a rate of approximately 3000 each year for the foreseeable future. At a minimum accept- able graduate teacher-student ratio of one to 10 there will be a need for 300 added teachers each year, or 1500 for thIe com- ing five year period. "At least one year of 'lead time' is required to locate and employ faculty personnel," the report states. Hire Teachers The professional year is currently composed of the period from September to June. The better qualified persons are en- gaged by November to begin work in a new situation the fol- lowing September. Only in unusual circumstances are arrange- ments made in February or thereafter to engage qualified per- sons to enter a new situation for the following year, the report explains. "This requirement of a year of lead time makes it imperative that Michigan institutions be authorized by November, 1963, to engage the additional faculty required for the increase in en- rollment which will occur in fall, 1964," the report concludes. Studies made by the United States Office of Education indicate that nationwide, greater utilization of faculties is be- ing secured by studies of television instruction, use of audio- visual aids and the use of teaching machines. So the need for See REPORT, Page 2 * OSA Seeks New Changes In DIocumzent The Office of Student Affairs yesterday suggested possible 'changes in a series of rules pro- posed by Student Government Council for regulating membership selection practices among student groups. The suggested changes were in- troduced at a public meeting call- ed by Council to hear discussion on. its proposals. They Were in- troduced to the meeting by Direc- tor of Student Activities and Or- ganizations John Bingley.. Major Reforms The major reforms they call for are two: 1) The replacement of the pro- posed single membership judge to try cases of alleged discriminatory practices by a membership tri- bunal. Such a tribunal would con- sist of three members: one stu- dent, one faculty and one adminis- trative member. It would be better able to deal with matters of Uni- versity concern "within the con- text of the University," said Bing- ley, and, 2) The elimination of an entire section in the SGC working papers which would condone the use of the blackball system. Eliminating Sanction Interpretation of this system, which SGC proposed to sanction as long as it was practiced in a non-discriminatory manner, should be eliminated from the papers, the OSA indicated, since any dis- criminatory practices are explicitly prohibited. Other suggestions submitted by the OSA called for certain pro- cedural changes in the trying of cases before the membership tri- bunal. The OSA further recommended the deletion of all unnecessary legal phrases in favor of language familiar to the layman. To Support GOP Choice. WASHINGTON (W)-Sen. Barry Goldwater (R-Ariz) said without qualification last night that he would support Gov. Nelson Rocke- fellei- (NY) if Rockefeller is the Republican Party's presidential nominee next year. Rockefeller said he would sup- port "Barry or anyone else" who ran on a 1964 Republican platform "that faces realistically and posi- tively the problems of today and the opportunities of tomorrow." The comments were made in separate television interviews. Hasn't Talked to Governor Asked why Rockefeller was "re- luctant" to make a flat statement that he would support Goldwater, the Arizona senator said: "I don't know. I haven't talked to the governor . in several months, now." Rockefeller conceded in inter- views over the weekend that his remarriage had seriously damaged his chances for the nomination. Not Afraid of Battle Rockefeller said he is not afraid that a rough battle for the nomi- nation between himself and Gold- water would result in a serious split in the Republican party. 1.... If we had a monolithic par- ty where everybody had but one point of view there would be no discussion, there would be no de- bate. There would be no public in- terest," the New York governor said. "The best thing we can have is life in our party, is competition I judge to decide cases initiated by the committee. Suggest Reforms Among those addressing the Council last night were several local sorority presidents,- suggest- ing specific reforms in the propos- ed regulations. One such reform called for a more -severe penalty for those members of the Committee on Membership who might willfully divulge secret information includ- ed in a sorority's membership statement. Another asked that the mem- bership judge be replaced by a tribunal consisting of student,, fac- ulty and administration members. Burns Asks Legislation Council also heard the remarks of William Burns, '65, acting chairman of SGC's Committee on Membership. Burns, who noted that his com- mittee did not see itself as being involved in a partisan struggle, said that the question of regulat- ing discrimination among student groups should transcend political leanings. He called upon Council to legis,- late against outside control over membership selection practices so that final authority rests in the hands of the local group. Burns' remarks were prefaced by those of Beverly Baker, '64Ed, who asked Council to pass the "strong- est :possible -legislation.-for -the- abolishment of discriminatory practices against students.". End To Interference Miss 'Baker asked for an end to interference by national fraternal groups which "prevent local fra- ternities and sororities from .meet- ing me as a person because I am a Negro." Speaking as legal counsel for 10 fraternities and sororities was Lawrence Smith, '37L, of the Grand Rapids law firm of Schmidt, Smith, Howlett and Halliday. Smith urged Council not to adopt the proposed rules. He not- ed that they are unacceptable to his clients who do not recognize the Regents' delegation of author- ity to SGC. Calls Rules Penal He called the rules "penal in nature" and charged that they do not provide due process of law. Smith suggested two alternative plans of action: 1) That SGC return the entire issue to the Regents and ask them to deal with it as "representatives elected by the people of Michigan to handle the affairs of this Uni- versity; or 2) That an attempt be made by several Regents, a rules committee and some of the attorneys repre- senting national groups to formu- late a set of rules that "everyone can live with." Director of Student Activities and Organizations John Bingley asked for questions on the "Office of Students Affairs" proposed changes in the working papers, I S.*. . *.... . ............. ..................... . .. ..-.. .,r .......... ...... .. .. .. .. . . ... .n..**n..*.....r..... ....n.,.*. ..*n..t:: ,:*,* . . . ..~x. ,F.,..'4v....:.::4:..

Fifty-two demonstrators were arrested by city police. BOMBING AFTERMATH: Alabama Negroes Plan Protest March BIRMINGHAM UP) - Outraged Negroes, after hearing Gov. George Wallace blamed for the bombing deaths of four Negro girls, voted last night to stage a protest march on the statehouse in Montgomery. Twelve hundred Negroes-all those attending a rally at a Bap- tist church-rose to their feet in favor of the march when a vote was taken. No date was set for the march. The rally - at which three champions of the Southern inte- gration movement spoke - came shortly after the two white teen- agers were arrested in the fatal shooting of a 13-year-old Negro. Order Probe A federal grand jury was order- ed yesterday to probe the tense city's racial troubles. Speaking at the rally, Dr. Mar- tin Luther King, Jr. said that "words and actions of Gov. George Wallace" were to blame for the deaths of the four girls in a church bombing Sunday. The governor, King said, "had allowed himself to defy the law of the land and to deal with Ne- gro citizens in Alabama as if they didn't live in the state. The Rev. Ralph Abernathy, treasurer of King's Southern Christian Leadership Conference, told the rally that "you and I must join a march . . . We must take a wreath to the state house at Montgomery." Government Failed He also said that if the federal government "had done its job, Wallace would be in jail right now." There was no immediate com- ment from Wallace on the propos- ed march or on the attacks on him. The president of 'the Alabama Christian Movement for Human Rights, the Rev. Fred L. Shuttles- worth, said "There is a breakdown of law and order in Birmingham and we need the power of the United States." He also announced that a mass funeral will be held Wednesday afternoon for three of the girls killed in the blast. Services for the other girl will be held today. No Basis for Troops Shuttlesworth's call for federal power came after the government said-at Washington there was no legal basis for sending regular Army troops to Birmingham. President John F. Kennedy ex- pressed "outrage and grief" over the bomb killing of the four chil- dren. He said he hoped the inci- dent would awaken the nation to "the folly of racial injustice and hatred and violence." Kennedy said if there is this realization, "then it is not too late for all concerned to unite in steps toward peaceful progress before more lives are lost." In a special statement, Kennedy said the United States stands for "domestic justice and tranquility. "I call upon every citizen, white and Negro, North and South, to put passions and prejudices aside and join in this effort." Unit Affirms SGC Seating, The Senate Advisory Committee on University Affairs yesterday confirmed its last year's proposal giving S A C U A subcommittee chairmen the authority to allow students delegated by Student Government Council to participate in committee meetings. The first SACUA meeting of the fall also saw reports from com- mittee chairmen describing future plans, Prof. William Kerr, chair- man of the nuclear engineering de- partment and new SACUA chair- man, said. To Study Rules The research policy subcommit- tee has indicated its plans to make a study of the role of institutes and centers in the research and educational programs of the Uni- versity. The subcommittee on university freedom and responsibility will be continuing its search for some body structure which would oper- ate between the University Sen- ate and SACUA.

McCracken of the business administration school said yesterday. There is tangible evidence that business activity is in for a vigor- ous expansion that could well car- ry through 1964, he said. McCracken told a group of bank credit- executives that "in the fin- al quarter of 1963 the nation's output of goods and services will be running at the annual rate of close to $595 billion per year. If acken Sees Economic Gain evidence pointing toward further expansion": 1) The data indicates expendi- tures by business on new machin- ery and facilities are rising at the rate of about 15 per cent per year. 2) The retail, sales outlook is brighter than seemed probable only a few months ago. 3) The price level has been hold- ing steady, and in spite of this profit margins have not generally narrowed further. Firmer Base Established McCracken expressed the, hope that a firmer basis for stable cost price level has finally been es- However, McCracken found two reasons for optimism. First, he said, a stronger econo- my at home (further buttressed by tax reduction) would probably reduce the deficit since still higher interest and profit rates make the domestic economy a more attrac- tive place for investing both Unit- ed States and foreign capital. Second, he pointed to inflation which is emerging as a major prob- lem for some other major indus- trial nations notably France, Italy and Japan.
