llSUEnrollment Surge May Threaten'URudget i By H. NEIL BERKSON To add to its other financial headaches, the University may be facing increased competition for the legislative dollar from an old nemesis in East Lansing. Figures released earlier this week by the state show that Michigan State University's enrollment has climbed significantly higher than the University's for the first time. MSU has reported a total of 29,094 students for the fall semes- ter; the University's enrollment is 27,388. Bad News for 'U' University administrators know from experience that this fact will further hurt the University's chances of receiving its total budget request from the state Legislature for the fiscal year 1964-65. "Year after year we have this problem," one source said. "Some . legislators don't understand why we ask for so much more money than State when our enrollments are so similar. They think the money should be doled out on the basis of a pure and simple head count." The University is requesting a record appropriation from the state of $47.6 million; MSU is seeking $40.5 million. Last year the two universities received $38.2 million and $32.2 million, respectively. Officials here are quick to point out that the head-count for- mula for appropriations is "highly superficial," and the state has not yet used this basis for its annual determinations. Nevertheless, two problems remain. While the state may not use enrollment figures as its sole measuring stick, many legislators "use them as a rationale for cut- ting the University's budget requests-a drama which has taken place regularly since 1957. Moreover, many legislators are search- ing for some appropriations formula and University officials fear that enrollment may emerge as a strong factor. Beadle, for Example Sen. Frank D. Beadle (R-St. Clair), chairman of the powerful Senate Appropriations Committee, commented last month on the Legislature's attitude toward higher education's continual pleas for more money. In the course of his remarks, he brought out the formula idea. "Higher education's persistent appeals for more funds haven't been very convincing," the senator said. "They weren't convincing when I came to Lansing (in 1951), and with some reservations, I'd say the Legislature still doesn't understand the educators' pro- gram. "There are so ,many areas to learn, so many complexities that the suspicion exists that administrators are seeking to do more than they have been asked to do. "We've tried for years to convince them that they should get together on their requests, present some kind of a formula that the legislators can understand, but they haven't." Whether or not a formula can be derived, administrators are unanimously agreed that enrollment figures have only a small role to play. "Programming is the important angle," University Execu- tive Vice-President Marvin L. Niehuss says. "It costs as much for us to run our Medical School with 700 students as it does to run a 3- 4000 student junior college," Extra Students Mean Little Niehuss says MSU's 2000 extra students "should have little bearing on the appropriations the two institutions receive." Why? "They have a very heavy freshman-sophomore concentration. This is the cheapest group to educate once you reach the college level." Three series of figures seem to corroborate the vice-president's words. A breakdown of the 1962-63 enrollments at the University and Michigan State produces the following results: Freshmen and Sophomores: The University, 7,309; MSU, 12,948. Juniors and Seniors: The University, 8,831; MSU, 7,998. Graduate and Professional Students: The University, 10,412; MSU, 5,774. Michigan State's total enrollment outstripped the University's for the first time last year by 26,720 to 26,552. However, at the junior-senior and graduate levels the University had nearly 6000 more students. This graduate-professional group is one of the larg- est in the country. Total Credit-Hours Turning the enrollment breakdown into an analysis of the to- tal semester credit hours accounted for by each group provides the following information (latest figures available are for the academic year 19Q1-62): Freshmen and Sophomores: The University, 234,859; MSU, 355.- 687. Juniors and Seniors: The University, 251,033; MSU, 242,011. Graduate and Professional Students: The University, 231,790; MSU, 110,701. Again, while Michigan State overshadows the University in freshman-sophomore teaching hours, the pattern changes in the upper levels.

LXXIV, No. 60 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1963 SEVEN CENTS SIX PAGES POLAND, YUGOSLAVIA: Senate Restores Trade Option WASHINGTOT ( )-The Senate voted last night to restore Presi- dent John F. Kennedy's power to continue most - favored - nation treatment in trade relations with Communist Poland and Yugo- slavia. The 55-14 vote defeated an at- tempt by Sen. Frank J. Lausche (D-Ohio) to strike from the $3.7- billion foreign aid authorization bill a provision restoring this authority to the chief executive. It was viewed as the biggest vic- tory for the administration so far in the 10 days of debate, and came after a series of setbacks. It fol- lowed appeals from Kennedy and Secretary of State Dean Rusk for Senate restraint, in voting cuts and tying strings to the program. Bounces Back Earlier, the Senate's bipartisan leadership sprang back from the setbacks by defeating, 44-30, an effort to boost the interest on all loans under the aid program to at least four per cent-far above the current low rates. The Senate also voted, unani- mously, to take away discretion granted the President to waive under some circumstances a ban on military and economic aid to Communist nations such as Yugo- slavia, Poland and Cuba. How- ever, sales of surplus ucd pro- ducts would not be prohibited. Kennedy and the State Depart- ment had pleaded with Congress to help keep open the trade chan- nels to Poland and Yugoslavia as the best. possible means of-wooing them away from economic con- trol by Moscow. Policy Explained Under the most-favored-nation policy-which the United States extends to all nations with which it has friendly trade relations- each country gets the benefit of any tariff cut or other concession made to any other nation. Last year Congress included in the trade expansion bill a provi- sion withdrawing the President's power to continue to give Poland and Yugoslavia most-favored-na- tion treatment. But it left him considerable leeway in acting -on the directive and so far he has not taken away the privilege from the two coun- tries. Meanwhile, he has attempt- ed to persuade the legislators to reverse their 1962 action. Could But Won't Sen. J. W. Fulbright (D-Ark), floor manager for the bill, fight- ing Lausche's proposal, conceded that the two countries could con- tinue to trade with the United States if they lost the most-avor- ed-nation privilege. But, as a practical matter, he said, they would face such an in- crease in duties that their pro- ducts would be shut out. Fulbright said that 75 per cent of Yugoslavia's trade is with the West and that it would be folly to force it to turn to Russia and Moscow - dominated Communist nations. Lausche argued that by trading with Yugoslavia the United States is helping to build up the nation's economy and making it all the harder to overthrow President Ti- to. Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield (D-Mont) said the pro- vision "is a cold-blooded business proposition." At his first news conference in nearly three weeks, Rusk urged Congress not to take away the President's flexibility in a world that "moves very fast." Democrats Hfit Romney By The Associated Press LANSING - Democratic State Chairman Zolton Ferency charged Gov. George Romney yesterday with "trying to make Democratic legislators the scapegoat for his own personal failures." Romney had said that "whether or-,not-we-are- going -to get- basic tax reform depends on whether or not we get bipartisan support." He said that "at least 12 and it could be as high as 15" Republi- can state Senators would vote for the tax reform program. 30-35 Representatives There are "30 and up to 35" Republican representatives who would vote for the program, he continued. Eighteen votes are needed to pass bills in the Senate, with 56 votes needed for approval in the House. Romney indicated that the Re- publicans and the Democrats should agree on a tax reform pro- gram. The Democrats will caucus Mon- day night to decide on the par- ticulars of negotiations to be held with the governor sometime next week. Informal Talk The meeting between Demo- cratic legislators and Romney was set up last week in an informal meeting between Romney, Lt. Gov. T. John Lesinki, and House Minority Leader Joseph J. Ko- walski (D-Detroit). After the informal conference, Lesinski and R9mney agreed that action on tax reform "is a lot more important than going deer hunting." The deer-hunting season opens in the Upper Peninsula on Friday, and in the Lower Peninsula on Nov. 15. Many of the legislators are planning to go deer hunting, leaving the possibility of the lack of a quorum during the first weeks of the hunting season. Deadlock On Wheat Resolved WASHINGTON (;) - A United States-Soviet deadlock over terms for the sale of surplus American wheat was broken last night when the government put it up to American grain merchants to make their own deals. The merchants lost no time in bidding for the $500 million worth of Soviet-bloc business and the first sale was signaled when the Commerce Department granted a license for the shipment of 100,000 tons of wheat to Conununist Hun- gary. The announcement was made shortly after it was revealed that} the United States and Russia had reached agreement on a frame- work for negotiations for the sale of four million tons of wheat to Russia and her European satel- lites. Half in U.S. Ships Undersecretary of Commerce Franklin D. Roosevelt Jr. said the dealer who obtained the license certified that one-half of the grain will be carried in American ships. The deal with Hungary was a $7.6 million transactlen, includ- ing the cost of delivery. The arrangement between the United States and the Soviet Un- ion provided that the actual price of the wheat and shipping costs would be determined in negotia- tions between United States grain dealers and a Russian grai-pur- chasing team. Work Out Details There were strong indications that the Russians would work out agreements with the private Ame- rican grain dealers on the actual price and other terms. A C om m er ce Department spokesman said no applications for shipment of wheat to Russia were pending but he said at least one grain dealer already had started negotiations with the Rus- sian representatives. This was after the State De- partment announced late yester- day that an understanding has been reached with Soviet nego- tiators under which American dealers will quote a delivered-in- Russia price for their surplus wheat. Thus was a solution proposed for the problem presented by Ken- nedy's requirement that American wheat be carried in American ships whenever possible. Ameri- can freighters charge anywhere from 20-30 per cent more than foreign vessels. 'City Fair Refuses Housing To Kill Statute - ---------v :"" :k..t i 'U' Rent, Tuition Rank Near Top~ By MARGARET WITECKI University students last year paid room and board charges which are among the highest in the nation for public univer- sities. University tuition and fees ranked around the average for in-state residents and well above average for out-of-state residents at public universities. These figures are reported in a recent survey by the depart- ment of health; education and welfare, which ranks fees, tuition, room and board rates for undergraduate and graduate students at 2,056 institutions. The University was categorized as a public university- one of the "institutions which stress graduate instruction and research, confer advanced degrees in a variety of liberal arts fields, and have at least two professional schools that are not exclusively technological." Tuition and fees for state residents at the University are greater than those at 50 per cent of public universities in the Great Lakes and plains region and approximately. 70 per cent of national public universities.. Out-of-state students at the University are paying the third-highest tuition and fees charged by public universities. The median at public universities was found to be $609, while the University charges $930. In the area of room and board charges, the national median for men's dormitory rates at public universities is $686. Room and board for female students was slightly higher. The national median for public universities was $694, while the highest charge was $860 at Purdue University. The University's average charge for both men and women is $820. FRANK J. LAUSCHE ... attempt fails VATICAN: Ask Council To Fight Bias Against Jews VATICAN (IP) - The Vatican Ecumenical Council received yes- terday an official document aimed at ending anti-Jewish views among * Roman Catholics and charging all mankind with responsibility for Christ's death. Representing two years of work begun by Pope John XXIII, the t document was submitted to the 2300 council fathers by the secre- tariat for promoting Christian un- ity, headed by German-born Augustin Cardinal Bea. At the same time a heated de- bate flared on the floor. of St. Peter's Basilica as Joseph Cardinal Frings of Cologne, a leader among Catholic progressives, calledffor basic reform of the Holy Office. The two developments made the day's gathering the most dramatic meeting of the council since it first assembled here 13 months ago. Cardinal Frings denounced the Holy Office-the Vatican's guar- dian of doctrine-as "a source of harm to the faithful and of scan- dal to those outside the Church." An Italian-born conservative, Al- fredo Cardinal Ottaviani, is sec- retary of the Holy Office, which grew out of the Inquisition. He defended its procedures. Both an administrative agency and a tri- bunal, the Holy Office handles such questions as heresy and crimes against the Church. Set Extended County Terms Hatcher Speech Opens orl OBLIGATION? Group To Examine Use Of Students in Research By MICHAEL SATTINGER A faculty-administration group has been created to study the use of experimental subjects. It will consider the conditions under which research units should be allowed to use students and whether students have an obligation' to participate in University research, Elizabeth Davenport, assistant "to the vice-president for student w* affairs and coordinator of coun- seling, explained yesterday. The group, composed of Asso- ciate Dean Howard S. Bretsch of the graduate school, chairman; Director of University Residences Eugene Haun, and Associate Dean James H. Robertson of the literary college, will be a subcommittee of the Committee on Student Coun- ' seling Services. This committee, which acts as a clearinghouse for various Univer- sity counseling services, appointed the subcommittee this week. The committee also examined a booklet on counseling services being prepared by the Michigan Union. The booklet has been ap- proved by all counseling units concerned, and replaces an older booklet prepared by the Office of Student Affairs in 1958. Vice-President for Student Af-! fairs James A.

CREAL ..we'll enforce it BURROUGHS: Grant Plan Criticized By STEPHEN BEROWITZ "If merit is not the controlling factor in the allocationcof federal research funds, we are in a very dangerous position,"Director of Research Administration Robert E. Burroughs said yesterday. His comments came in response to a proposal to distribute a size- able portion of the federal re- search budget to lesser-quality in- stitutions, and to geographical areas in which scientific research is poorly financed. The New York Times attributed the proposal to Paul M. Gross, president of the AmericanAssociation for the Ad- vancement of Science. A program which "does not place a premium on merit in the allocation of research funds would be detrimental to the University," Burroughs said. Separate Program As an alternative to a program of geographic distribution of grants, Burroughs proposed that "the federal government estab- lish a separate program whose primary objective would be to de- velop the so-called 'backward areas'-areas that do not receive a significant proportion of the government's research money. "If merit is not the criterion followed, the only outgrowth could be idiocracy," Burroughs main- tained. "There are three basic reasons that the University is part of the select group of universities that receive extensive federal grants," Burroughs continued. He cited the initiative on the part of its fac- ulty in creating proposals, the quality of its faculty which these proposals reflect, and the encour- agement given research by the University by not overloading this faculty with other tasks. For these reasons, the Univer- sity has been highly successful," To Enforce Law Despite Kelley Rulingi Romney Agrees With Overruling Of Local Legislation By RAYMOND BOLTON Ann Arbor will enforce its fair housing ordinance despite Atty. Gen. Frank Kelley's recent ruling, city hall officials say. Kelley's ruling stated that local ordinances in civil rights will vio- late the new state constitution which takes effect Jan. 1, the same date Ann Arbor's ordinance is scheduled to take effect. Statements from the city attor- ney and most recently from the mayor's office take firm stands on allowing the ordinance to take effect. Not Binding-Fahrner City Attorney Jacob Fahrner has said Kelley's ruling is not binding and that the final deci- sion will have to come from the courts if the state wishes to make any charges. Mayor Cecil O. Creal sent a copy of the ordinance to Gov. George Romney and received a reply from Romney which accepts the premise that the new consti- tution pre-empts local fair hous- ing ordinances. Kelley had ruled that the new constitution gives the newly- created civil rights commission sole power to regulate and enforce civil rights in the state. The Legis- lature would implement its func- tioning, he added. Detroit Defeat The ruling was cited as the ma- jor reason seven Detroit common councilmen voted against that city's proposed open-occupancy ordinance. Other civil rights ac- tivities directed towards cities stalled as civil rights groups look to the new commission for action. However, Professors Robert G. Harris and Paul G. Kauper of the Law School have challenged Kel- ley's ruling, noting that it must be tested in the courts. Creal looks upon the city's fair housing ordinance as the "big- gest step forward for civil rights taken in the state. Only City "Ann Arbor is the only city in Michigan with a fair housing ordinance," he added. He explained that Ann Arbor is also one of "only eight other cities in the 'nation which have taken any such action at all."
