Mexico City and Detroit, along with Buenos Aires and Lyon, France, had put in bids for the sports extravaganza, and many thought the American city had swung the vote its way with an impressive presentation of its case. Mexico City got 30 votes, Detroit 14, Lyon 12 and Buenos Aires 2. Otto Mayer, chancellor of the International Olympic Committee, said the 1968 Games would be held in the first two weeks in October. >s 68 Olympic Games to Mexico ity * * * * * * * * * * - - - - 4 -- - THEODORE C. FREEMAN ... astronaut 'U Graduate In Space Role A third University graduate joined the nation's astronauts yesterday. Air Force Capt. Theodore C. Freeman, '60E, was one of the 14 men named by the United States Space Agency to the select group of potential spacemen. This raises the total number of currently- active American astronauts to 23. A jubilant Prof. Wilbur C. Nel- son, chariman of the aeronautical and astronautical engineering de- partment, said Freeman's appoint- ment gives the University a 50-50 chance of seeing one of its grad- uates on the first lunar team. All three University astronauts-Cap- tains James McDivitt, '59E; Ed- ward White, '59E, and Freeman- are from Prof. Nelson's depart- ment. Prof. Nelson said Freeman grad- uated from the Naval Academy in 1953 and was sent here by the Air Force in 1958 to do graduate work. Freeman was "a good student," Prof. Nelson commented. Maj. Donald K. Slayton. one of the original astronauts named in 1959, said that the 14 newcomers should be the ones to carry out the moon program. The new group has an edge over the older astronauts because its members are younger-averaging 31 years. "The 1964 Olympics will be in To- kyo, Oct. 10-24. Avery Brundage of Chicago, president of the IOC, told the Detroit delegation that it had put on an impressive presentation but the vote went against it because many IOC delegates thoughtit was time for the Games to go. to a countryrthat so far had not had the honor. Previous U.S. Sites Los Angeles had the Olympics in 1932 and St. Louis in 1904. Jerome Cavanagh, mayor of De- troit and a member of the city's delegation said: "Naturally we are disappointed at the decision. However, we know it was a difficult one for the IOC. Detroit accepts this vote in the true sporting tradition and Olym- pic spirit." Congratulates Mexico "We congratulate the commit- tee from Mexico and their coun- trymen. "The persistent and magnifi- cent effort that went into the Detroit presentation will be ap- plied to any other things that De- troit may be called on to handle in the future." Gov. George Romney of Michi- gan, who flew here to head De- troit's bid for the Games said: Disappointed "My only real feeling at the mo- ment is one of terrible disappoint- ment. But we'll have another go to get the 1972 Games if I live long enough." It was unlucky seven for Detroit. The big industrial city has tried seven times to land the Olympics. Seven times it hay failed. State Reacts To Rejection' Report Rise, In Spending For '62-63 Increase in Outlay Reaches Ten Per Cent By JEAN TENANDER The University's total expendi- tures for 1962-63 were $125,953,500 it was reported at the Regents meeting yesterday by Vice-Presi- dent for Business and Finance Wilbur K. Pierpont. Last years figures represent about a ten per cent increase over the previous year's total of $114,244,800. Running through a breakdown of the total, Pierpont reported that $50,926,500 of the total figure resulted from revenue for general purposes and $75,108,990 resulted from revenue for designated pur- poses. The report showed that the federal government had contribut- ed $36,575,000 -of the -total ex- penditure figure. This was the most significant increase among the various figures contributing to the budget. The previous year fed- eral government expenditures amounted to $27,867,890. Student Fees Student fees amounted to $13,- 187,900; medical and hospital serv- ices-$15,953,40.0; residence halls, student centers and other activi- ties-$13,093,900, and gifts, grants, departmental and investment in- come provided the balance. The report also listed Univer- sity projects completed during 1962-63. They include; Kresge Hearing Research Institute, the Physics and Astronomy Building, the Church street parking struc- ture addition, the Thompson street parking structure and four re- search facilities projects. Unfinished Projects Those projects continued or started in 1962-63 are; the heat- ing plant expansion, hospital elec- trical and general renovations, hospital physical medicine addi- tion to the hospital, Institute of Science and Technology, Kresge medical research addition, the Lawrence Buhl research center for human genetics, the Oxford Hous- ing Project, the School of Music and University Museum additions. Pierpont pointed out that of the money for physical, additions or improvements to the Univer- sity's physical plant only about 46 per cent comes from the state. The rest comes from the federal government and various gifts and grants to the University. Epher Plans Inquiry On Conference Delay Student Government Council President Russell Epker, '64BAd, yesterday announced his intention "to investigate thoroughly the rea- sons behind the postponement of the Conference on the University." The investigation will include "personal and informal" talks with students in charge of planning as well as with faculty and administrative personnel "who had the interest but not the time for the Conference." To formulate his intentions, Epker may ask Council for a reso- lution "to give me official support to go talk with faculty members - nunr admmnistrator to discover ACE Plans Aid. Program For Negroes Collegiate Press Service WASHINGTON - A five-point program for improving the Negro's position in higher education was considered yesterday by a com- mittee of the American Council on Education. Vice - President for Academic Affairs Roger W. Heyns was among 40 top American educators who met and conferred with foun- dation officials on expanding and upgrading educational opportuni- ties for Negroes., Once project lines are defined, the University will participate in them, Heyns said. The two-day conference discuss- ed programs that would include: -Giving Negroes special or preferential treatment to get them in colleges. One midwestern uni- versity has already set aside 25 scholarships for Negroes. Colleges may be asked to help Negroes find adequate housing and work to- ward improving student and com- munity acceptance of Negroes. -Improving opportunities for graduate study for faculty mem- bers of predominantly Negro col- leges. This would include giving them travel funds, living expenses, internships or fellowships to at- tend "reputable graduate schools" -mainly outside the South. -Establishing faculty exchange programs b e t w e e n integrated northern universities and Negro institutions. -Sending teams of top scholars from integrated universities to assess the quality and "raise the educational sights" of Negro col- leges. -Improving mathematics a n d science instruction in Negro col- leges through summer programs, faculty exchanges and introduc- tion of new teaching materials. One major specific project would involve searching for talent- ed Negro students. It would in- clude contacting and identifying such potential students, especially in the South, using foundation- financed special guidance and counseling teams. An ACE committee, headed by Indiana University President El- vis J. Stahr, Jr., will co-ordinate various projects and relations with foundations a n d the federal government. The conference was called in re- sponse to President John F. Ken- nedy's drive to upgrade the Negro in all aspects of American life. It follows a White House conference of educators on the Negro and education last July. WSU Requests exactly why the Conference was postponed." In the meantime, Epker called upon Council members to "con- tact faculty members and admin- istration officials to express our disappointment with the faculty's lack of active interest in the Con- ference." The Conference, scheduled to bring faculty, students and ad- ministrators together next week- end to exchange views on the University, was postponed Friday by the student steering committee in charge because of the large. number of faculty and administra- tors who rejected invitations to participate. Conference chairman Diane Lebedeff, '64, said that the Con- ference would have been a "char- ade" if held. Only 70 per cent of the faculty had replied to invita- tions to participate and 60 per cent of these were negative re- sponses. However, Miss Lebedeff an- nounced the conference committee will stage the conference early in February and is planning to em- ploy different methods of securing faculty participation. Speakers en- gaged for the now-postponed will be reinvited. Faculty members were contacted by mimeographed invitations only two weeks beforehand for the postponed conference. An effort will be made to contact all invited faculty members in person before next February's meeting. Both major speakers booked for the Conference were non-Univer- sity figures. Many high ranking University officials were going to be out of town during the original Conference. ALAN R. SORENSON .. no public statement To Develop A study by th3 University ad- ministration of the goals and effi- ciency of student activities appar- ently has' not materialized. Vice-President for Student Af- fairs James A. Lewis and Regent Alan R. Sorenson of Midland said at a press conference after yester- day's Regents meeting that these questions had been discussed in their private Thursday night ses- sion in conjunction with the Un- ion-League merger issue. But the two men emphasized that the general problem was only a part of ongoing, day-to-day con- sideration by administrators. "Our conclusion was that we couldn't make a general policy statement," Sorenson said. Earlier this fall, Regent Irene E. Murphy of Birmingham had spoken of a two-pronged special study which Lewis and Vice-Presi- dent for Business and Finance Wilbur K. Pierpont were going to conduct. It was then said to be aimed at determining whether some finan- cial details of student organiza- tions should be assumed by Pier- pont's office and "what 'students need in student activities." i By CHARLIE TOWLE Regents Suggest Partial Support Reject Single-Board Idea, but Back Joining of Union-League Activities By GERALD STORCH City Editor Terming the concept of students participating in the man- agerial and financial operations of a University Center as "in- appropriate" and "ineffective," the Regents yesterday reject- ed the organizing principles of the proposed merger of the Michigan Union and Michigan League. However, they did endorse a consolidation of the student activities wings of the two organizations into a new board sep- arate from the Union or League, and urged the immediate es- tablishment of an implementation committee to work out the details. Union and League officials expressed strong disappoint- The election of Mexico City as the site for the 1968 Olympics left the city of Detroit and the state of Michigan with three questions to answer. Will Detroit try to get the right to hold the Olympics again, what will be the effect on the Michigan economy of losing the 1968 games and why did Detroit fail this time? The answer to the first question lies in the ability of the active" backers of Detroit's effort to get the Olympic Games to rebound See DETROIT, Page 6 I ment with the regental stateme proposals until after studying' the statement thoroughly and discussing it with their gov- erning boards. Additionally, an implemen- tation committee, which was supposed to begin work on the merger, will probably not be- gin functioning until afterl Nov. -3 when the League Board.+ of Governors holds its next1 meeting. League Board Delays Although the Union Board of Directors last month named rep- resentatives to the committee, the League board had delayed appoint- ment of its members until after' the Regents issued an official re- action to the merger proposal. Last spring both boards approv- ed this proposal, called the Rob-1 ertson Report after Associate Dean, James H. Robertson of the liter-' ary college, who chaired the Un- ion-League merger study commit- tee. The report recommended a stu- dent-faculty-administrative board to oversee all phases 9f a Univer- sity Center. Underneath this over- all board-but, in practice, auton- omous from it-would be a coed- ucational student activities com- mittee. Divide Activities, Services In contrast, the regental state- ment asks for a "separation of functions." It says that "these various func- tions will be successfully carried out if they have separate and spe- cific operating units with atten- tion and effort directed to their' particular objectives rather than being organized under a single governing board." Elaborating on this point at a press conference after the Regents meeting, University President Har- lan Hatcher said that the Regents simply questioned whether stu- dent involvement in operations and policy outside the "student activities" aspect was a "legiti- mate expenditure of their time and energy." The Regents criticized the Rob- ertson Report for not being specif- ic enough on just what operations were envisioned in the proposed University Center. But these func- tions, besides student activities, did include a faculty club, a con- ference and meeting center and various dining and housing serv- ices for students, faculty, alumni and guests, the regental statement noted. It furthermore advised that the merged activities organizations be established "as a separate entity apart from the League and Un- nt. They will offer no counter- Regent Statement In recent weeks the Regents have given consideration in sev- eral discussions to the report of the Union-League Study Commit- tee which was prepared under the chairmanship of Associate Dean James Robertson of the literary college and submitted to the Re- gents at the May meeting. In these discussions the Regents also gave consideration to the statements of the Boards of Gov- ernors of the Michigan League and of the Michigan Union Board of Directors which commented on the report of the Union-League Study Committee. The Regents wish to commend the Michigan Union Board of Directors and the Michigan League Board of Governors for establish- ing this study committee and the - Regents wish further to commend the committee for its analysis and recommendations with respect to "those portions of the report on the Office of Student Affairs which raised basic questions about the present validity of dividing University facilities, services, and policies on the basis of men and women." As a result of the discussions of the Regents, the following state- ment has been prepared express- ing the opinions of the Regents with respect to this report.

MUFUN Equals Coeds in Union Eastman Draws Method Of Academic Decisions By KENNETH WINTER Who really makes the policy decisions at the University? In analyzing this question, it is best to regard the University as a confederation, where the important academic questions are decided in the individual schools and colleges, Prof. Arthur M. Eastman said yesterday. These units have a great deal of autonomy, determining their own curricula, admissions standards and other basic academic policies, he explained. This leaves the upper administration with es sentially three related functions:;.._..,' -Co-ordinating decision ma by the various units where such co-ordination is needed; -Reconciling these decisions with the government and other« outside forces and1 -Obtaining and dividing up fi-. nances - the upper administra- tion's most important source of decision-making power. Prof. Eastman said that the or- ganizational chart of the Univer sity, which implies that decisions,: flow from the President down through a pyramidal structure, is deceptive because the authoity 9 : + j .,..... f.
