LXXIV, No. 70 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1963 SEVEN CENTS ARONER PROTESTS: Si PAGES Regents Veto Job Study Group Views External Policies By H. NEIL BERKSON In quick succession yesterday, the Regents announced a decision against a study of the University's employment s t r u c t u r e, and Human Relations Board Chairman David Aroner, '64, claimed that a racial breakdown of University employes, unit by unit, would prove "embarrassing," Aroner "challenged" the Re- gents to publish such a study and "predicted" they would not. At issue was a request by HRB, submitted two weeks ago to Vice- President for Business and Fi- nance Wilbur K. Pierpont, that the University review employment policies "so that structural bar- riers to the employment of min- ority group members will be pin- pointed and then eliminated. All Areas "The study should cover all areas of University employment, SG Adds Adelemo As ISA Ex-Offiejo By MARY LOU BUTCHER Student Government Council last night approved an amendment to the Council Plan to include the highest officer of the Inter- national Students' Association as an ex-officio member of SGC after refusing to endorse an amendment which would have extended student rule-making authority. The decision to add the ex-officio followed questioning of Isaac Adelemo, '64, the present ISA president, and discussion of the including recruitment practices, on-the-job training programs, placement and advancement op- portunities." HRB, a related board of Stu- dent Government Council, asked Pierpont to bring the matter to the attention of the Regents, who held their monthly meeting last week. Replying for the Regents, Pier- pont wrote in a letter released yesterday that "we believe that the proposed study will not assist in attaining the objectives we are now accomplishing with respect to the employment of minority group members." Constant, Adequate Review The vice-president said that "the Regents and all members of the University community are sincerely and earnestly concerned that this particular part of Uni- versity employment activities be under constant and adequate re- view and attention. "The University has a compre- hensive program in its employ- ment policies and procedures to be as sure as is humanly possible that all qualified members of minority groups who apply for available positions are employed and given every opportunity to advance in their duties and re-. sponsibilities." Concerning recruitment prac- tices, the vice-president said the University is "continually seek- ing to broaden" them "to be sure that everyone, regardless of race, color, creed or national origin will know about and have access to all employment opportunities" here. Policies Corrected (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the second in a two-part series re- viewing the five-year evaluation report written by an education school faculty committee. Yes- terday research proposals and their implementation were out- lined. Today's article considers administration and off-campus relations of the school.) By MARILYN KORAL "I don't hear or read about any major breakthrough which is being attempted at the Uni- versity's education school," one top administrator told the fac- ulty interviewing committee which write the school's recent five-year appraisal report. "In part this comment is a matter of creating a better im- age for the school, but in part in demonstrates the need for an important project," the com- mittee answered in its report. The faculty group has subse- quently recommended several innovations in the school's ad- ministration and its off-campus relations. Suggestions in both areas will bear influence on curriculum. Special Plan In the area of administration the appraisal group commended the idea of a "school within a school-a special plan for de- veloping leaders" among stu- dents in the education school. The idea is currently under consideration by the graduate committee. Beyond this commendation, the appraisal group asked five major administrative changes. Among the five one has been implemented by Dean Willard C. Olson and the executive committee. Arguing for inclusion of off- campus teaching in the regular teaching load, the committee wrote, "It is highly important that the school become aware of the simple arithmetic of aca- demic erosion concealed in the pressures. Such teaching is now done extensively by faculty be- yond their regular teaching load. Surplus of Time "The surplus of time over and beyond the regular teach- ing load should be devoted to scholarly, creative and devel- opmental pursuits. The use of this surplus time for overload teaching constitutes a serious erosion of the faculty's capacity to pursue scholarly, creative and developmental activities. "It is the contention of the committee that this erosion in the case of the education school is already far advanced. More specifically, the committee be- lieves that this condition is one of the principal reasons for the failure of the members of the faculty to take advantage of the growing opportunities for re- search, innovation and devel- opment and thus attain for the school the distinction of which it is capable," the report states. The proposal to include off- campus hours taught in the regular teaching load rather than doling them out as over- load teaching was not passed by the faculty. Associate Dean 'Charles Lehmann cited two reasons why the proposal was turned down. Paid Extra. "At the moment faculty are paid extra for the overload and eliminating it would mean a reduction in pay," Dean Leh- mann pointed out. In addition, cutting down on the hours taught per professor would necessitate hiring more faculty, and there are no funds for their salaries. "We could use. 15 people right now," Dean Ol- son has said in describing staff shortage from lack of funds. Three additional administra- tive proposals were supported by the faculty, but have not been implemented by the dean and executive committee. Change Administration "The administration of the graduate and undergraduate committees should be changed from rotating chairmanships to assistant deans," the appraisal report suggests. This was "permissive legisla- tion," Prof. Fred Walcott, fac- ulty secretary, claimed. Also not implemented was a report proposal suggesting. that "the dean, assistant deans, di- rector of the University School and cnairman of the Research Committee shouldhmeet regu- larly to care for the adminis- trative details" of the school. Free Committee This would "free the execu- tive committee to determine immediate and long range poli- cy and to evaluate continuous- ly the effectiveness of the school." Currently, the dean and ex- ecutive committee are solely responsible for executive lead- ership. Also passed by the faculty but not formally implemented was a suggestion that "admis- sion, guidance and follow-up procedures need more vigorous examination." Residence Centers In the area of off-campus re- lations the appraisal report rec- ommended that "the graduate committee assume responsibility for planning and controlling programs of instruction in resi- dence centers." The faculty supported the claim of the report that "a ma- jor part of graduate instruc- tion is being performed outside the Ann Arbor campus." Previously, curricula in the graduate centers was largely determined by individual pro- fessors and administrators at each center. The responsibility has subsequently been given to the school's graduate commit- tee. The appraisal group suggest- ed, in addition, that the educa- tion school be more permissive about accepting the credits of masters' degree candidates transferring from other schools. The faculty voted to oppose this proposal. PROF. WILLIAM R. TAYLOR to deliver lecture Taylor Wins Russel Prize Prof. William R. Taylor of the botany department has been se- lected to deliver the 1964 Henry Russel Lecture this spring. This lecture is considered the University's highest recognition of academic research and compe- tence. The lecturer is chosen an- nually by the Regents on the recommendation of the Univer- sity's Research Club and former Russel Lecturers. The lectureship was established in 1920 by a bequest from the late Henry Russel and carries with it an honorarium of $1,250. It has been awarded each year to a Uni- versity faculty member of at least associate professor rank. Prof. Taylor has a distinguished record among biology groups and has written several papers which have appeared in scientific jour- nals, as well as six books dealing with marine algae. NCATE Units Discuss Major oiy Changes CHICAGO-The National Coun- cil for Accreditation of Teacher Education was weighed last week and found wanting-but not very much. A two-day conference of one hundred representatives of NC- ATE's constituent organizations toiled Thursday and Friday over problems that have faced the group in the past year since NCATE became the center of a controversy that saw charges of dictatorship and conspiracy thrown at it. Attendance at the meeting was limited, for the most part, to supporters of NCATE, which ac- credits 400 of the nation's 900 in- stitutions of teacher education. Delegates made recommenda- tions for changes in the NCATE which will be referred to the 19- member council itself at its meet- ing in May. Among the changes proposed were: -Giving institutions that come under NCATE's accreditation more '*role of ex-officio members on Council. Adelemo noted that the ISA is "both an interest group and a representative body" consisting of approximately 500 members, 40 per cent of whom are American students and 60 per cent of whom are foreign students. Different Bodies He pointed out that "ISA is the only organization on campus working toward integration of dif- ferent student bodies. "It is also the coordinating body for 19 nationality groups on cam- pus, totaling 1500-1600 students." Michigan Union President Ray- mond Rusnak, '64, supported the inclusion of the ISA president as an individual who could "stimulate debate and could bring to Council the views of international stu- dents." In opposition to the addition, Administrative Vice-President Sherry Miller, '65, asserted that Council "has enough ex-officio members and doesn't need any- more." Adelemo was accepted by a two- thirds vote of Council-the requir- ed majority for changing the Council plan-and will be seated on Council with speaking pri- vileges only, until the Regents ap- prove the amendment. A motion to amend the plan- SGC's constitution-to empower Council "to make all non-academic student rules and regulations" was defeated following a committee of the whole discussion in which an alternate motion was accepted. Debate Merits Council moved into the com- mittee of the whole to debate the merits of the proposed amend- ment, submitted by Howard Schec- ter, '66, and Daily Editor Ronald Wilton, '64, versus a motion, sub- mitted by Council President Rus- sell Epker, '64 BAd, to recom- mend the establishment of a stu- dent rules and regulations com- mittee. I Epker's motion proposed that "the committee shall be composed of members of the faculty, admin- istration and student body and shall consist of a majority of stu- dents." As a substitute for both motions, Council agreed to a proposal by Miss Miller calling for the "execu- tive committee to investigate feas- ible plans for transferring author- ity over student conduct to a body other than the OSA and report the result to SGC at the next regular meeting." The accepted motion also stated that "SGC reaffirms the principle that the authority for making rules for student conduct should rest with students in consultation with those administrators who are responsible for enforcing thosel rules."I "Practices which might arise and are inconsistent with Univer- sity policies are corrected to con- form to these policies," he added. Aroner, expressing his dissatis- faction with the Regents' decision. said that "HRB took into consid- eration the fact that the Univer- sity has a program of sorts de- signed to increase the employ- ment opportunities available to minority group members. "It was and is the feeling of the HRB and other concerned groups and individuals," he ex- plained, "that the University is not doing nearly enough in this area," particularly with regard to Negroes. Can Not Conclude Aroner said that HRB assumed in its proposal that until a com- plete study of its employment structure was made, the Univer- sity "could not conclude that enough was being done to insure fairness to minority groups." "Neither the Regents nor the University administration is com- petent to study employment prac- tices," he said. "HRB has called for a study by experts. Pierpont1 has in effect stated that the Re- gents are confident that a study by experts can contribute noth- ing to insuring the spirit of Re- gents' Bylaw 2.14." Bylaw 2.14 is the oft-quotedt Regental policy statement declar- ing that the University shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, creed, nationalf origin or ancestry.4 Asks for PublicationI "If the Regents are satisfied with their efforts to insure that employment opportunities ar e open to all at the University, II challenge them to publish a de-i tailed department by department racial breakdown of their em-i ployes with notes to justify anyi irregularities that may appear,"E Aroner said.I "I predict that the Regents will not publish such a report becauseI it will prove embarrassing." f The request for a racial break- down differs from Aroner's firsti proposal for a mere "study of the employment structure."t He added, however, that hex hoped the University would re-1 consider HRB's original proposal., Give Fori Wayne, M7edical 'U' Top Rank School Funds DEAN CHARLES S.

The investigations, being con- ducted to aid budget preparation and administration as well as leg- islative interpretation of budget requests, have a summer comple- tion traget, State College Chair- man J. R. Van Pelt, president of Michigan Tech noted. The uniform accounting study was instituted in July to help ulti- mately the university and college financial administrators in deter- mining efficiency waste. Legislators have been critical of rising university budget requests in view of what they have consid- ered "facility and personnel mis-] use." The unit cost study, organized in May, is trying to compile compar- able data on the cost to each in- stitution to produce one unit cred- it hour, he observed. The agreement by state educa- tors on a unit-cost formula has been considered a possible aid to legislators for the appropriation of money to each institution. By JEFR UUUEYGOMAN Associate Dean James Robert- son of the literary college is "mildly optimistic" about the chances for establishing a junior- year abroad program with the University of Freiburg in Ger- many. He recognizes the problem of obtaining faculty support and the needed funds, but he is convinced of the value of such a program House Passes Agency Funds WASHINGTON ()-The House passed yesterday a bill authorizing $10 million a year in spending by the Disarmament Agency. This is the same figure the Senate had approved but is only two-thirds of the amount the agency asked. The bill was passed on a 252- 133 roll call vote with 180 Demo- crats and 72 Republicans voting for it and 47 Democrats and 86 Republicans against it. The bill now goes back to the Senate, where quick adoption is likely since the spending level now reverts to the Senate figure. The House adopted by a voice vote an amendment intended to tighten restrictions on any propa- ganda within the United States on the work of the agency. The agency got appropriated funds of $6.5 million last year, so the $10 million level still repre- sents an increase of $3.5 million. in terms of "cultural sophistica- tion, experience in making ad- justments, developing poise and discovering new viewpoints." The program is presently under consideration as a joint venture involving the University of Wis- consin and Wayne State Univer- sity. So far only preliminary dis- cussions have been held; further clarification of basic ideas and details are pending. Needs Approval "Once the educational desirabil- ity and financial requirements have been worked out, the pro- gram would need the approval of the literary college dean and ex- ecutive committee and finally of the administration," Dean Rob- ertson said. Prof. Clarence Pott, chairman of the German department and a paticipant in the discussions with the other two universities, has doubts about certain aspects of the program, however. Prof. Pott said that his attitude is colored by the fact that the pro- gram would divert funds from normal teaching. He also wonders if the University credit granted for foreign studies is fully justi- fied, since a junior's language pro- ficiency may not be adequate for him to benefit fully from lectures and discussions in German. Adjustment Dean Robertson also considered the difficulty which students have at first in acclimating to foreign universities, though he said that University students studying in France have overcome this prob- lem. He noted further that American universities are often "superior" to foreign universities in the range of courses and the avail- ability of faculty and facilities to students. Freiburg University was orig- inally chosen after an extensive selection survey by representa- tives of the University and the University of Wisconsin. Wayne State already has a program with the Freiburg school and its repre- sentatives have been quite satis- fied with the relations that exist; Standards Desired The qualifications for selection of the school abroad included the nature of the faculty, a wide enough range of courses so that studies abroad could fit into the American university's curriculum, the ability of the university and ' 1"r*ttM** . k{s ?:v:::: :"j::;****:?****i;;Y.~ Fri":: S; DEAN JAMES H.

The student should be able to take as many courses as possible in the regular curriculum of the German school and not have to limit him- self to special courses structured by his parent university and given in English. Dean Robertson feels that "pro- grams of this caliber are worthy of some University support. The cost factor should not bar quali- fied students from profiting from the opportunity." The program in France costs about the same as a year in Ann Arbor for an out-of-state student, for in-state students is generally no more than the round-trip travel expenses. This economy is due in large part to the substantially lower tuition and living costs at foreign universities, Dean Robertson ex- plained.

This conclusion was affirmed yesterday when tie Michigan Co- ordinating Council for Public Higher Education unanimously adopted a report giving the con- struction of the University's Med- ical Science Building Unit II "top priority" in the Council's new pro- gram to supply 175 new places for freshmen medical students by 1971. The two schools currently take freshmen medical classes totalling 325 students. Await Appropriations Once the financial needs of these schools have been met by ;adequate legislative appropria- tion, the adopted report says their future growth should be attempt- ed concurrent with the develop- ment of a basic medical science program at Michigan State Uni- versity. The report, although not bind- ing on the schools involved, is ex- pected to be adopted as official policy since college presidents and mebers of the governing boards sit on the council and voted for the report yesterday. .hSpecifically, thereport recom- mended the following procedures: Construction -The appropriations for con- struction to "accommodate suit- ably" the present medical school classes of 200 at the University and 125 at WSU should be provid- ed before new programs of medical education are undertaken. -By 1968, programs should have been undertaken to admit 125 new freshman medical stu- dents. WSU's medical school would expand from 125 to 200 fresh- manr while1 A Mlcandidbates~ COOK LECTURE: &vans Cites Need for Medical Progress By HELEN TUNISON "Medicine has not caught up with its own successes," Dr. Lester J. Evans said yesterday in the fourth of his series of William W.' Cook lectures. Dr. Evans explained that in the past man had only a few primary health complaints such as pain, "lumps" or injuries. What people have been able to do about these complaints has varied with time, with advances coming faster' and and health services has tended to fall behind the changing trends and needs of society. In this way medicine is far behind its own potential, he said. To narrow this gap between "potential and performance," com- prehensive medical care is needed to "combine the concentrated knowledge and skills of the spe- cialist with the broad understand- ing, wisdom and continuing care professional nurse, who is prepar- ed to meet these needs, has been removed from the bedside to ad- ministrative and supervisory du- ties. The essential patient-care role then falls to the less trained practical nurse. Another member of the health team, dentistry, "is in a position to contribute to experimation and research in total patient care in }: Y
