George Romney that the 10 state supported colleges and universities receive appropriations mainly on a money' per-student basis. However, there will be "definite allowances" made to account for an institution's graduate enrollment and its level of faculty salaries, A faculty committee is drafting two proposals designed to give the faculty a clearer voice in all- University policy making. The group, called the committee on University freedom and respon- sibility, is one of the working units of the Senate Advisory Com- mittee on University Affairs (SA- CAU). Its chairman, Prof. Claude A. Eggertsen of the education school, said yesterday the commit- tee probably will suggest: -A new University Senate by- law providing for SACUA partici- pation in the selection of all fac- with and University-wide problems, 75-Member Board -The establishment of a 75- member faculty board to express faculty opinion between the semi- annual meetings of the Senate. The first proposal, which "we hope to have ready" for the Dec. 9 Senate meeting, would have SACUA submit a list of faculty members from which a faculty committee would be appointed. Such ad hoc oommittees gen- erally are formed to provide fac- ulty consultation when some new University-wide move is being con- sidered. Prof. Eggertsen cited the forthcoming University sesqui- centennial celebration and the "educational aspects" of the Union-League merger as examples. 'Wider Representation' The proposal "could aid in bringing about wider representa- tion in relation to University prob- lems. Also, because of its part in the appointing process, the fac- ulty might take a greater interest in these committees," Prof. Eg- getsen said. The second proposal is aimed at another problem: because the University Senate only meets twice' a year, it is not always available for consultation when "relatively quick statements of faculty opin- ion are needed within a short period of time." And SACUA, the Senate's executive organ, meets monthly but can speak only in behalf of its own members. The proposed 75-member board is aimed at filling this gap. Meet- ing once a month, it would be empowered by the Senate to ex- press faculty opinion. For example, it could speak out on the proposed expansion of Flint College to a four-year institution, on the in- state vs. out-of-state student ratio, or on University expansion policy, Prof. Eggertsen commented. More Intensive Also, "it is though that a group of this sort not only would be rep- resentative of the whole faculty, but that it would be able to study more intensely than is now the case the outstanding problems of the University at large," he added. This second proposal should be ready for submission at the spring meeting of the Senate. Noting his committee's "broad mandate" from SACUA, Prof. Eg- gestsen said the group chose the faculty-participation question be- cause it is "basic to the whole matter" of faculty freedom and responsibility. It has been work- ing on the problem for two years. "The members of the committee feel that the growth of the Uni- versity and the increase in the complexity of its problems has meant that the Senate's ability to deal with problems within its con- cern is not so great as formerly." He hopes the Senate will approve of a change in the organization of the faculty which will give it more of a share in decision-making," he said. "Alvin Bently, chairman of the sub- committee charged with making a recommendation soon to Romney, disclosed recently. The University has asked Rom- ney to'recommend a legislative ap- propriation next year exceeding $1600 per student. This is more than $600 above the overall per- student average for the 10 institu- tions last year. High Level of Salaries The University received a per- student appropriation of over $500 above the all-state average last year because of its high level of faculty salaries and the strong per- centage of graduate students which are more expensive than undergraduates. Administrators from other large state institutions, including Michi- gan State University's President John Hannah, have criticized past University appropriations in call- ing for them to be based along tighter per-student lines. MSU's enrollment surpassed the University for the first time this year and is expected to increase over 3000 next year. The Univer- sity's enrollment rose about 800 this year. U 9 AMERICUS CASE: MARVIN L. NIEHUSS . .. partial basis Integrationists Freed Under Federal Order AMERICUS, Ga. VP)-Five integration'leaders were released from jail yesterday under an unprecedented federal court order which required bail for the prisoners and struck down two Georgia laws. Three white men and two Negroes, who had been held nearly three months, were freed upon the posting of bond within maximum limits set in the order by a three-judge panel. The ruling voided Conlin Sees Tax Delays By THOMAS COPI Rep. Rollo G. Conlin (R-Tip- ton) yesterday gave two explana- tions for Gov. George Romney's failure to call for the bills needed to implement the new state con- stitution. He claimed that Romney did not want to confuse his tax reform program with the implementation program and also noted that the preparation of the bills has not yet been completed. Conlin, chairman of 'the Joint Interim Committee on Statute Im- plementation, said that his com- mittee 'is busy drafting the bills necessary for the implementation of the new constitution, but has not yet completed the work. Bills to Meet Deadline "I can't say when the bills will be ready, although I'm sure that they'll clear by Nov. 15, the date when the Legislature will probably recess for the deer hunting sea- son;" Conlin said. "We'll have the bills printed while we're in recess, and then we'll be ready for the governor's call for them at any time after that," he noted. The 18-man implementation committee, which is strictly bipar- tisan, is divided into three sub- committees: judiciary, executive, and elections. Conlin said that most of the work to be done is in elections because of the extensive changes in election procedures outlined in the new constitution. 70-80 Bills Needed He also said that although a great many bills would be needed in the implementation of the new constitution, the figure 200 pre- sented by Rep. Gail Handy (R- Eau Claire) represents some "pret- ty wild guessing." "Actually, there will probably be from 70 to 80 bills-certainly less than 100. Some of them won't take any more than just the minimum physical procedure to be passed, but others may cause quite a bit of controversy," Conlin pointed out. Denies Seat For Students For the moment, students will not be admitted to meetings of the University freedom and respon- sibility oommittee of the Senate Advisory Committee on University Affairs, Prof. Claude A. Eggertsen said yesterday. In a letter t Stdent Govern- (I I Seek Standard Definition In completing its exact subcom- mittee report this weekend to be sent to Romney by December, Bentley emphasized t h a t his group will work on finding a standard way to define enroll- ment, called a "head count" figure. The difficulty in determining a figure comes from the question of whether or not to include ex- tension service students, Bentley' explained. The University had only about 26,000 of a total paying enrollment of 32,000 last year studying on the Ann Arbor campus. Despite these variables in en- rollment figures, his interim com- mittee will try to make per- student costs the "major criterion" for the governor and Legislature to use, "since that is what they currently use anyway," Bentley said. University Executive Vice-Pres- ident Marvin L. Niehuss comment- ed last night that he was unable to tell "what formula the legis- lators use, but it has certainly not been on a basis of head count alone." The head count or per-student figures are "all right as a basis if you make allowances for salaries and salary increases," he said. Bentley showed that one way in which the faculty salary levels will be allowed as an important var- iable in appropriation determin- ations is to compare the levels with salary ranges of competing institutions.

Buddhi~st Leader P lots Revolution President, Brother Commit Suicide Junta Chooses Tho Prime Minister TOKYO (R)--The government of South Viet Nam's Presi- dent Ngo Dinh Diem hoisted a white flag on the battle-ruined presidential palace in Saigon yesterday and surrendered at the climax of a bloody military uprising, reports from the Vietna- mese capital said. However, in Washington, State Department officials said they had received a terse dispatch from the United States em- bassy in Saigon quoting Saigon radio as saying Diem and Nhu had committed suicide early this morning. Escape after Arrests State Department officials said the dispatch said Diem and Nhu escaped after being taken into custody at the presi- dential palace and fled to a i 1I 1, Significant Facet Another significant facet of the order was injunctive restraint against the prosecution of peace warrants, a legal weapon which has come into play recently in fighting integration efforts. Also released under bond were a 14-year-old Negro girl and two Negro men held since August. The! girl had been denied bail by juve- nile court authorities. In a 2-1 decision, a three-judge court issued an injunction barring prosecution of charges under the two statutes. The order itself went further and set a deadline of 6 p.m. yesterday for release of all six prisoners under bond on other charges.

['he top men, both military and, ivilian, on the new ruling team are Buddhists and described as levoted to the war against Viet' Nam's Communist Viet Cong. United States officials maintain Washington had no advance warning of the takeover and that it had no hand in the uprising. The Ngo Dinh family had been accused of oppressive measures against Buddhists and was at odds with the United States on this question. American officials took emer- gency measures to protect Amer- ican lives in Saigon.

WASHINGTON OP) - Senate- House conferees made rapid pro- gress yesterday toward final agreement on a $1.2-billion five- year, college education aid bill. Two controversial points remain to be settled. But Rep. Adam C. Powell (D-NY), heading t h e House group, and Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore), leading the Sen- ate delegation, said they believed these could be disposed of with- out too much difficulty. The conferees meet again to- day. Both Senate and House ver- sions of the legislation contain grant and loan funds for con- struction of classroom and other facilities at four-year and junior colleges. President John F. Kennedy recommended a broad college aid program but said the construction money should be limited to loans. In their biggest decision yester- day, the conferees agreed to take the basic money figures of the House bill which contains specific authorizations for three years with the final two years to be fixed later. Remaining to be settled are these questions: 1) Whether the grant funds should be for limited purpose, as in the Senate bill, or for all types of college buildings, as voted by the House. 2) Whether to include a Sen- ate amendment authorizing tax- payer suits challenging any grant or loan to a religious college on the ground that it violates the first amendment to the Consti- tution.
