Pierpont announced that the University would seek $12.7 million in capital outlay funds for the 1964-65 academic year at the Regents meeting yesterday. The regular operations budget for the next academic year will be released before Oct. 1, University President Harlan Hatcher said ..after the meeting. The deadline WILBUR PIERPONT ...'U'monies SHORTAGE:* Bartlett Hits Fiscal Plan "I am greatly concerned that Gov. George Romney's fiscal re- form program will not produce more money," Superintendent of Public Instruction Lynn M. Bart- lett declared yesterday.' Warning that-, education. at all le eels is urgently in need of funds,, Barteltt said that "a mere trans- er of fundsvifajioug. Rm. - ney proposes to maintain an ap- proximately $580 million revenue level while juggling taxes. He added that he appreciated Romney's desire to change the state's archaic tax structure into one .for a "modern dynamic so- city," but he noted that the state's universities and school boards are preparing budgets now and must know if they are getting any more money,. Cannot Wait They cannot wait until the regu- lar session of the Legislature for more money; he said. Bartlett pointed to a recent sur- vey by his office which showed that state support of public schools had slipped from 52-41 per cent in the last dozen years and noted that the school boards had to make the difference up. But "something must be done to releave the burden of the prop- erty tax," Bartlett declared. He said that Romney's proposed 20 per cent state! refund on school taxes will help, but not bring in needed new revenue. Blue Ribbon Committee Bartlett said that he hoped Romney's "blue ribbon" Citizens' Committee for Higher Education will come up with the same con- clusion that educators have, lend- ing their support to the "urgent needs" of higher education. He noted that the lay citizens' group had "undoubtably learned much" in their study of the state's higher education system and should point out the urgency of its needs. Denying that recent Michigan' Co-ordinating Council for Public Higher Education studies of en- rollment, faculty and capital out- lay needs was designed to head off the "blue ribbon" committee's work, he said that, all the council wanted was to inform the group. Any other assistance the coun- cil can provide is available, Bart- lett added. Demonstrator Appeals Case Prof. Quin Mcboughlin of East- ern Michigan University, the first civil rights sit-in demonstrator toy be tried in Ypsilanti on a loiter- ing charge, has appealed his mu- nicipal court conviction to the circuit court. for submission of budget requests: to the state comptroller's office is the first week in October. The capital outlay break down includes $942,000 for campus re- modeling and renovations and $8.1 million for new .construction. For Medical Center facilities the Uni- versity has requested $1.2 million for remodeling and renovations and $2.4 million for building. Outlay Priority First on the list of educational construction is finishing thenew Music School Bldg. Other high ranking projects include, com- pleting the Fluids Engineering Bldg., and final building for the Medical Science Bldg. Unit II, the dental building, the architecture and design college, the mathema- tics and computer center and a psychology building. Remodeling projects include ren- ovation of the West Engineering Bldg., a library service and storage building, the start of building site development for the central cam- pus plan, preliminary planning for future' use of the East Medical Bldg. and general graduate facili- ties renovation. Concerning the Medical Center the Childrens Hospital hs top priority for new construction again this year. The University tried un- successfully to obtain funds for the' hospital last year. Medical Center Requests Money for a clinical care and teaching facility is the only other construction request. General hos- pital renovations are included in the Medical Center requests. The proposed new architecture an'd design college building has the highest priority for totally new construction. Last year the Legislature ap- proved a capital outlay budget of $4.9 million for the University and about $180,000 in projects under a "quick action" capital outlay pro- gram for new construction. Study Group1 To Analyze 'U'Research By KENNETH WINTER The 11-member research policy subcommittee of the Senate Ad- visory Committee on University' Affairs will begin soon to organize a study of some basic questions of -research at the University. Prof. Gordon C. Brown of the public health school chairs the committee. In an interview yester- day he outlined some of the ques- tions he feels the group should consider. The first matter is "the whole place of institutes at the Unver- sity"-groups such as the Institute of Science' and Technology, the Mental Health Research Institute, and many others whose purpose is to do research in a particular field. Do they have a responsi- bility in teaching as well as re- search? And what is their respon- sibility and official association in -th~ academic structure of the University? T h.e subcommittee would consider such questions by inviting institute representatives to meetings, Prof. Brown said. Request for Grants Second, the group may explore ways of enabling faculty members who want to do* research to get grants more easily. This would in- clude studies of application pro- cedures and of the Office of Re- search Administration, which is supposed to expedite these pro- cedures. This also would include inquir- ies into the problem of indirect- costs-the administrative expenses of a particular research project, generally amounting to 20-25 per cent of the project's cost. The fact that indirect costs must be in- cluded in grant requestsmakes grants harder to get, Prof. Brown noted. Third, the group should evalu- ate the relationship between re- search and teaching, Prof. Brown continued. This would include con- sidering the potential dangers of a "research squeeze," in which re- search would eclipse the teaching function; and a "teaching squeeze" in which a faculty member wants to do research but lacks the time or: funds. SACUA has authorized its sub- committees to admit students named by Student Government Council as observers to their meet- ings. Prof. Brown expressed doubt- that many students would be in- terested in the areas the subcom- mittee will explore. By JEAN TENANDER In the face of the expected increased enrollment of in state students next year, the University will be forced to restrict the num-' ber of out of state students ad-' mitted to roughly the same num- ber admitted this fall, University President Harlan Hatcher said yesterday. Vice-President Marvin Niehuss had tentatively outlined such a policy earlier this month. At a press conference following the Regents meeting, President Hatcher explained that although the percentage of out of state stu- dents on campus would be re- duced somewhat by the influx of in state students, the decrease would not be a significant one. Cosmopolitan 'U' He reiterated his belief in the value of a cosmopolitan university and said the University had not lost sight of its desire to maintain itself as such. He also pointed out that the difference in ratio from this year to next between the in state stu- dents and the out of state students would not be significant enough to warrant any meaningful criti- cism. Vice-President Marvin Niehuss said the Regents had discussed the situation during their informal meeting Thursday night. "Theme is no disposition on the part of the Regents to cut down on either out of state or foreign students," Niehuss said. He indicated that the Regents see the realities of the situation and, while hesitant to enidorse a policy which might be construed as lessenening the cosmopolitan appeal of the University, they are in general agreement that there is no other solution. "Had a better solution to the problem of out of state student enrollment been offered, it would have been adopted," Niehuss said. Caution The vice-president expressed pleasure that concern about the change had been evidenced, but he cautioned against looking at the situation too dramatically. He pointed out that fluctuations have always occurred in the in state-out of state student ration and that, so far, no important changes were foreseen. Niehuss also cautioned against assuming that because the Uni- versity held the line on out of state students one year it would automatically do so each following year. The policy will be a flexible one, he said. Not Peculiar to State The expected enrollment in- crease is not peculiar to Michigan but to the country at large. view of this fact the vice-preside pointed out that the situati might be eased if all states agre not to raise the barriers agair out of state students. "But very few jople see beyo the first step," he said. Surveys by the Michigan Boa of Education indicate that the wil be a 20-25 per cent increa over last year in the number graduating seniors in Michig high schools this spring. Assistant Director of Admissic Byron Groesbeck said the Unive sity expects a corresponding i crease in the number of app cants to the University. U efines Enrollment Limit Kenne dy Suggests S., Russier o Work Recommend Tax-Study By The Associated Press LANSING - The tax plan pro- posed-by Senate Taxation Chair- man Clyde H. Geerlings (R-Hol- land) is "ingenious and merits study," according to Gov. George Romney, who has also submitted a fiscal reform program to the ILegislature. But Romney added that he did not consider Geerlings' program "as adequate, clean cut and direct" as his own plan. "It does not assure property tax relief the way our plan does. There is no- assured relief for senior citizens.I "In addition, it appears that' Geerlings' plan would be very burdensome administratively for the state and for the taxpayer," the governor added. Local Option PlanI The major feature of Geerlings' rival plan is a local-option two per cent personal income tax. This contrasts with Romney's plan, which calls for a two per cent statewide personal income tax and a 3.5 per cent statewide corporate income. tax. A foe of state-levied income tax- es, Geerlings had said new taxes should be levied "at the option of those concerned intimately" and should be under their direct con- trol at the local level. The Geerlings plan would retain some of the business taxes Rom- ney's proposed $308 million ad- justment in the tax structure would repeal. However, Geerlings planned several modifications of existing levies. Food Stays Put Geerlings' plan would exempt prescription drugs, but not gro- ceries, from the sales tax, whereas Romney's plan would exempt both commodities. Nor would Geerlings' plan make a 20 per cent state payment of local school taxes. Romney said Geerlings "sought chiefly to do something for the revenue needs of local government. But I can't see that he does much to eliminate injustice in the tax structure to low-income families and inequities in business taxes." The governor added that Geer- lings' plan to make local units share in the cost of mental patient care might "pretty much" force the statewide use of county in- comes taxes. "We backed off the local option idea (in the area of mental health) because of administrative difficul- ties," he added. -Asociated Press POLICY SPEECH-President Kennedy delivered a major policy speech to the United Nations yester- day which gained praise from UN diplomats. because of what they termed its. moderate tone. Among the topics the President covered was a proposal that the United States and the. Soviet Union send a joint expedition to the moon. SPACE, OCEANOGRAPHY: Two Areas ExpandesearCh t i Bartlett Gives Criteria For EMUPresident By PHILIP SUTIN National Concerns Editor A combination of administrative and scholarly orientation and ability as a lobbyist stand out as two major criteria of the state Board of Education's search for a new Eastern Michigan University president. Superintendent of Public Instruction Lynn M. Bartlett stressed these two qualities in outlining the 10 criteria the state board set Expanded research and gradu- ate programs in two fields-space and oceanography - were an- nounced at the Regents meeting yesterday. To oversee the University's growing space program, a Space Science Committee, chaired by Prof. Wilbur C. Nelson of the en- gineering college, has been set up. The group will find and denote the areas of space research in which the University should con- centrate. It will also consider ques- tions of administration and liaison with industry in space research, Vice-President for Research Ralph A. Sawyer explained. He also announced that the $1.75 million National Aeronautics and Space Administration space sciences building will be under construction on North Campus by next fall. Vice-President f o r Academic Affairs Roger W. Heyns comment- ed that the establishment of the committee is not necessarily the first step toward setting up' a space research center at the Uni- versity. Later developments will determine whether the University will seek such a center, Heyns said. Sawyer added that the Univer- sity now has 15 new predoctoral O State Schools Jloin Council Every college and university in the state has joined the newly formed Council of Michigan Col- lege Presidents, Vice-President and Director of the Dearborn Campus William E. Stirton announced yes- terday. T h e voluntary coordinating body for higher education was created last spring in order to 'bring together presidents of pri- vate, public and religious support- ed institutions. The executive committee met Monday and set the first meeting date for Oct. 28 at the University. Thursday night for selection of the new EMU president. He also announced that the state board will consult with an EMU faculty committee in the selection of a successor to Eugene B. Elliott, fired by the state board last June. Lists Criteria The criteria include: 1) Scholastic stature. Bartlett explained, that the -state' board seeks a president with "proven competence as a scholar," prefer- ably holding a doctorate; 2) Interest in college level, re- search; 3) Support of "responsible aca- demic freedom";, 4) Age of 50 or younger. Bart- lett said that the state board was looking for a younget man that would stay many years with the university. See LISTS, Page 2 Education Committee Plan. May Miss October Deadline By ANDREW ORLIN The newly appointed staff director of Gov. Romney's Citizens Committee on Higher Education said yesterday that there is "little hope" that the committee's interim report will be ready by the dead- line date of Oct. 1. Harold Smith of the Upjohn Foundation, appointed to the posi- tion of permanent staff director last Saturday, said that any hope of meeting the deadline is quickly "fading" away. The interim report, dealing with the short term problems of Michi- " . gan highereducation, is presently being prepared by a 12-man sub- S o c ievcommittee. It will have to be ap- proved by the full committee be-' fore being sent to the governor. students in its NASA domestic traineeship program, bringing the total to 25. The students are in engineering, astronomy, chemistry, geology, physics and psychology. Complete Mysis The oceanography program was expanded with the completion of the 50-foot Mysis, an $86,000 ves- sel built under a National Science Foundation grant: The Mysis will join two other University ships in the $289,000 Lake Michigan project headed by Prof. John C. Ayers of the zoology department and the Institute of Science and Technology. Sawyer said the total cost of the four-year Public Health Service-sponsored project may be over $1 million. "These new facilities and re- search activities, and their scope, are perhaps the best indication of how the inland oceanography pro- gram at the University has grown," Sawyer remarked. Accept Boat The Regents also accepted a 46- foot boat from Bruce L. Simpson of Chicago, which probably will be added to the research fleet. Other members of the space committee are Professors Samuel D. Estep of the Law School, H. R. Crane of the physics department,. Paul M. Fitts of the, psychology department, Fred 'T. Haddock of the 'astronomy department and J. L. Oncley of the Medical School.

Prof. Walter Cappel, who teaches psychology at a teachers' college near Heidelberg, used author- sociologist David Reismen's theory nf the individualized society to "After World War I' the tra- ditions of society were disrupted and the people had no basis for social order. The Weimar Republic tried to replace these traditions, but Hitler came and erected an outer directed society where the people were compelled to follow his leadership."
