Ask Change'sin 'Ed' School" SGC To Consider (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first in a two-part series re- viewing the five-year evaluation report recently written by an education school faculty com- mittee. Today's article outlines research proposals-and their im- plementation. Tomorrow admin- istration and off-campus rela- tions will be considered.) By MARILYN KORAL The education school cur- rently is implementing propos- als for change in its research direction, its administration and its off-campus relations- areas reviewed in the school's recent five-year evaluation re- port. Although the faculty com- mittee which wrote the report did not specifically consider curriculum, many of the rec- ommendations relate to curric- ular improvement. strengthen the school's efforts -the school has created a new agency, the Office of Research Services. It was established "to stimulate, coordinate and facil- itate research efforts," Dean Willard C. Olson has explained. Research and non-University developmental funds have in- creased 30 per cent since the Office began operation this year, Dean Olson pointed out. The report asked an Office of Research Services to "pro- vide consultation for faculty members on matters of research design and financial grants for research." Instructional machines corre- lated with the computer center have been installed at the new quarters of the agency. Further, Prof.Ned Flanders of the edu- cation school, previously a part- time consultant, has now been appointed chief of the research service, a full-time position. Second Move A second way the research recommendation has been im- plemented is through strength- ening the committee on educa- tional research, Dean Olson noted. The committee was dou- bled from three to six members. Since there are only nine de- partments in the school, the in- crease "was an attempt to in- sure all areas of interest rep- resentation, a more compre- hensive view," Dean Olson claimed. Two other report recommen- dations to strengthen the school's research potential were not approved by the faculty. One of these declared: "Re- search and scholarly writing should be given'improved status through: (a) continued selec- tion of all new staff with a view to such production; (b) al- though in general it is wise to continue the policy of promo- tion and merit on the basis of teaching, service or research, it is recommended that no one be promoted without evidence of adequate research or scholarly writing; (c) the intent is to legitimize scholarly production with a minimum expectation of one day a week devoted to such activity." Prof. Lester Anderson, chair- man of the appraisal commit- tee noted that the faculty re- fused to include this statement in their bylaws as the report suggested. "They are unwilling to deprecate those strong in teaching or service. As a pro- fessional school, we have a ma- jor service responsibility to the state. Although the faculty supported the concept of re- search, they were reluctant to handicap themselves with this clause," Prof. Anderson said. In addition, 'the report rec- ommended that research proj- ects "be first discussed with departmental chairmen and subsequent plans be cleared with the departmental chair- men . .. This recommendation is aimed at providing a proced- ure whereby participation in re- search projects is coordinated and kept in balance with other departmental activities and re- sources." Would Tie Down Prof. Anderson estimated that the faculty would not sup-' port the proposal because it would "tie them down" and re- strict their freedom in research projects. However, Prof. Fred Walcott, secretary of the faculty, claim- ed that the approval of depart- ment chairmen on research projects is a prevalent policy, operating on an informal basis even though the formal propos- al was turned down by the faculty. Another Proposal Another research recommen- dation was approved in princi- ple by the faculty, but so far has not been implemented in a formal program by the dean and the Executive Committee. Prof. Anderson claimed that faculty power is limited to en- dorsement of plans. They can- not be implemented without the dean's action, he said. This recommendation sug- gests that "All departments be requested to review the present status. and needs for research training of graduate students in their respective areas."

Toward implementing the major research proposal - to JAMES A. LEWIS ... enrollment pressures ~'U PlnsI Housing Additions By MICHAEL SATTINGER Construction of co-educational housing for upperclass and gradu- ate students is being planned by the Office of Student Affairs, Vice-President for Student Affairs James A. Lewis said in reiterating proposals made earlier this year. The facility is intended mainly as a means of increasing the num- ber of alternative housing situa- tions available to upperclassmen and graduates. However, it would also aid the present University residence halls in accommodating possible increased freshman en- rollments, Lewis explained. The facility could be completed by fall, 1965, at the earliest. In addition to the OSA's plan- ning and approval, the Regents have agreed to the concepts as advanced by the OSA. Speed Planning However, if the University is to' meet expanding enrollment needs, plans must be speeded and the population of graduate students in the present, quadrangles re- duced, Lewis said. Planning for the graduate hous- ing units has been speeded up to meet possible enrollment increases now being considered. "These are plans OSA is working on so that we can take action on specific figures once we know what the enrollment is going to be," Lewis explained. Present University housing is sufficient to handle an enrollment increase on the Ann Arbor cam- pus of 400 freshmen next year, but only at the expense of dimished facilities for male graduate stu- dents, he said. 200 Women Lewis estimated about 200 more freshmen women could be placed in present facilities. There are now some vacancies in the regular women's dormitories, and more could be created by occupying the Oxford Housing Project to capa-I 'COULD'VE GOTTEN TAX REFORM' Swainson Asks Greater Leadership Role By JOHN WEILER Special To The Daily Gov. George Romney announced yesterday in Lansing he will re- verse his stand of last year and ask the Department of Health, Education and Welfare to qualify Michigan for participation in the Aid to Dependent Children of the Unemployed. In a speech before Ypsilanti Democrats, State Attorney Gen- eral Frank J. Kelley asserted last night that he had proposed that the state reform its AD-Uplan six months ago in order to re- ceive the federal funds. "Michigan now has the highest welfare bill of any state in the union," Kelley said. Unable He had declared Michigan un- able to meet the "test for ADC-U" last spring because aid would have been given only to those who were receiving unemployment benefits. "This meant that only one-third of thosewho needed the aid would have received it" Kelley noted. "It was declared illegal because it excluded the other two thirds and thus was discriminatory." Kelley commented that the fed- eral government had withheld the aid from Michigan at the same time because under the Federal Enabling Act the Michigan situa- tion was "too restrictive." Kelley noted that Romney probably would submit the new legislation in January. The governor said that he wants to receive some of th ADC-U funds because the state usually "pays more than we ever get back" under federal programs.- No Point "I see no point in denying wel- fare units of government the funds to which they would be entitled," he said. If the Legislature approves Romney's new plan an estimated $9 million would be extended to Michigan in federal funds to help 10,000-15000 families. Romney noted that because of his position, the state had lost Kelley Views Civil Rights By RAYMOND HOLTON State Attorney General Frank Kelley explained the reasoning be- hind his recent decision pre- empting local civil-rights ordi- nances to local Democrats yester- day. The hour-long meeting saw Kelley explaining his position to a group which has brought pres- sure to bear on Ann Arbor City Council for the adoption of a fair housing ordinance. "I know full well a lot of you people have worked earnestly in the area of civil rights at the local level and that I and my ruling have come along and rocked the boat," Kelley said. "However, I believe you will agree with me that if every local unit of government adopted their own versions of such ordinances the situation would become almost impossible," he said. Kelley pointed out that his opin- ion has the force of law until it is overturned by the courts. He See KELLEY, Page 8 By THOMAS COPI "I think that I could have developed the votes needed in the special session for passage of Gov George Romney's fiscal reform program-if I had been leader 'in fact' of the Democratic Party in- stead of just a titular head,' former Gov. John B. Swainson said last night. In a talk on "The Relationships of Political Leaders to Career Employes," Swainson noted that the people of Michigan have in- vested much time and money in him, and that this investment could be put to much better use than it is presently. He said that the failure of fis- cal reform this year was probably a result of lack of leadership, and that he could have helped the tax program pass by providing some of this leadership, Swainson predicted that fiscal reform will be a big issue in the future, especially since next year is an election year. He said "everyone would like to forget about fiscal reform, but they won't be able to do so that easily." As a reason, he cited the Uni- versity's budget, saying that the "blue ribbon" Citizens' Committee on Higher Education, appointed by Romney, has suggested that a Kappa Sigrma Local Scores National 'Bias' Occidental College s chapter of Kappa Sigma fraternity voted yesterday to disassociate them-! selves from the national organi- zation, charging it has an unwrit-' ten bias clause against Negroes. e Occidental Chapter President Prentiss W i 1 s o n commented, "There isn't anything written down.

Sawyer Views Meaning Of Research Probes By LOUISE LIND Recently returned from his trip to Hawaii to inspect the Uni- versity-administered Project AMOS, Vice-President for Research Ralph A. Sawyer commented on current Congressional investigations into federal research spending. A number of Congressional committee began investigating the steady bulge in federal research spending when "Congress decided things were growing too fast and* that it was time to slow things J *'<':' .- :" < down and take a look," Sawyer commented. I '. i 1' 1 2 r t i budget boost of $25 million be given to the University. This extra $25 million will have to come out of the state's general fund unless there is some type of fiscal reform, and the general fund can't afford to give out that much money be- cause it already has a deficit, Swainson noted. Students Apply To, Visit Cuba Turning to the relationshio be- tween elected officials and career personnel in the government, Swainson said that although elect- ed officials are dependent on civil servants, the career workers should carry out the policy that the elected officials make. They should attempt to make it them- selves by applying pressures to the elected leaders and doing inly the work they themselves think necessary. He noted that when the career personnel start making the laws, there is leS onntrnl pthe rv Federal research and develop- ment expenditures, which tel years ago totaled only $2 billion e year, now run at an annual rati close to $15 billion and have beer increasing at the rate of 15 pe: cent per year, Sawyer pointed out The University's sponsored re- searc heffort, which also has ex- panded rapidly during this per- iod, now is at $36 million. Select Committee. One of the Congressional com- mittees, the special House Selec Committee on Government Re- search effort, which also has ex- liott (D-Ala) began its inquiry Monday. That committee, charged witt making a "complete, full and thorough investigation of the numerous research programs" con- ducted by the federal government has already heard testimony from nine witnesses, including Lelan J. Haworth, director of the Na. tional Science Foundation; Glenn T. Seaborg, chairman of the Atom- ic Energy Commission; and James E. Webb, administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The committee plans to hear ap- proximately 70 scientific leader from the universities, government industry and labor between now and Thanksgiving. Make a Distinction The New York Times reported that the nine witnesses who have already testified emphasized the necessity of distinguishing between scientific research and the much more costly development phases of the programs.

Another revision of the Council Plan to be taken up tonight is a motion calling for the addition of three ex-officio members to SGC. The meeting will be held at 7:15 p.m. in Lounge 2 of Markley Hall. Any changes in the Council plan -the charter under which Council must operate- require a two- thirds vote of SGC, as well as ap- proval by the vice-president for student affairs and the Regents. All Non-Academic Rules The amendments, to be propos- ed by Howard Schecter, '66, and Daily Editor Ronald Wilton, '64, will ask for an addition to the plan which would grant Council the authority to "make all non- academic student rules and regu- lations." Another amendment, if approv- ed, would give SGC the right to reconsider and reverse the vice- president's veto by a two-thirds vote of Council, at which time the motion would "be submitted to the Regents for final disposi- tion. " Presently, Council action is sub- ject to scrutiny and recommenda- tions by the Committee on Refer- ral, a student-faculty advisory body to SOC. Must Announce The committee, however, must announce its intention to consider any Council action within four days following notice of such ac- tion in the Daily Official Bulletin. It must then complete its exami- nation of the action and "an- nounce its findings' to the vice- president's office in advance of the third regular SGC meeting following the meeting at which the action took place," according to the Council Plan. The SGC plan further stipulates, "Within one week of any ensuing SGC reaffirmation or qualifica- tion of the action referred to it, the vice-president's office would sustain, veto or not rule further on the action." The motion to expand SGC, to be submitted by Executive Vice- President Thomas Smithson, '65, and Treasurer Douglas Brook, '65, calls for the inclusion of the "highest officers" of the Inter- national Students' Association, the Graduate Student Council and the Inter-Cooperative Council in the composition of SGC. The proposal also calls for these ex-officios to be added when can- didates are seated after the SGC election next spring. Letter by EQC Warns Parents Of Fee Boost East Quardangle Council is sending letters to parents of its residents urging them to write their state legislators and protest the possibility of tuition increases and inadequate appropriations to the University. The council has provided funds for the mailing of letters to par- ents of in-state students contain- ing a statement of the council's views, an explanation of its ac- tions and a list of state legisla- tors by area. According to John Koza, '64, who sponsored the motion pro- posing the plan, the council so far has spent $50 and used 60 vol- unteers to put the plan into opera- tion. RALPH A.

Sawyer yesterday com- mented on recent developments s between the Agency for Inter- national Development and the As- sociation of State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges. The asociation of universities i and colleges last week rejected an AID proposal that United States universities contract direct- ly with Latin American govern- ments for technical assistance. Sawyer said that the University has been involved in direct tech- nical assistance to foreign nations only to a relatively small degree and "only when such assistance was clearly within our capabili- tes." . He cited recent technical as- sistance programs in Formosa and Thailand as examples of Univer- I sity involvement. In Formosa, the University sponsored a program for training public administration officials in addition to a nuclear engineering program. In Thailand, it participated in a project for training English language teach- Iers. "Some schools have participated to a large extent in this program, going out of their way to take on foreign program commitments and scouring the. country in search of people to staff their programs," Sawyer said. "The University has not done this. We have taken on only those programs that fit our capacities and can be staffed by our own members."
