Nearly 60,000 fans are expected to witness in Minnesota's Me- morial- Stadium the 50th battle between two once-mighty schools with a rich fodtball tradition." The undistinguished records of the participants (one win and three defeats apiece) have taken much of the luster from the struggle gfor the Little Brown Jug, college. Crisler Still Not Replin About Offer The H. O. 'Fritz' Crisler story, expected to reach its climax yes- terday had its conclusion post- poned again, this time until next week. For the past two weeks Criser has been noncommittal on the of- fer he has received to become commissioner of the newly-formed American Football League. In Minneapolis for a testimon- ial dinner given him by members of his 1930-31 Minnesota football team and for today's Michigan- Minnesota game, Crisler stated, "I am not making an announcement here." "I wouldn't say anything away from the home base (Ann Ar- bor),'" he continued. "It's very in- definite right now. Frankly, I don't know when I'll have any- thing to say." However, a Detroit newspaper reported that Crisler's acceptance vlould be announced Tuesday or Wednesday in New York at a meeting of AFL officials. Crisler does not intend to be present at this meeting. Meanwhile, University Presi- dent Harlan Hatcher said after yesterday's Board of R e g e n t s meeting here that the Crisler situ- ation had not been discussed in any manner. If Crisler does decide to leave the University a new athletic di- rector would be appointed by the Regents acting on the recommen- dation of the president. In making a decision for this recommendation the president is free to seek advice from anyone he chooses. While in Minneapolis Crisler is expected to meet with H. P. Skoag- lund, insurance man, owner of the Twin Cities franchise in the AFL and one of the league's directors. Petitions In,; Fourteen Run C For Council Petitioning for Student Govern- ment Council positions has been completed with fourteen candi- dates submitting petitions. , The candidates are Nancy Adams, '60; Lynn Bartlett, '63; Ron Bassey, '61; Charles D. Franz- blau, '61; John Garland, '60; Al Haber, '60; Jeff Jenks, '61; Charles Kline, '61; Babs Miller, '60; M. A. H. Shah, Grad.; Elliot Tepper, football's most famous trophy. But this game marks another in a series of recent attempts by both teams to recover from two of the, most disastrous tailspins in respective histories. Michigan's last Big Ten victory came against these same Gophers last season, .20-19. In their last 11 contests, the Wolverines have lost nine. times. Minnesota has appeared on the credit side of the win ledger only three times in its last 19 outings. There are several other parallels' between the two combatants. Supporters of both contend that records aren't the whole story, that each is better than the rec- ords indicate. This could very well be true. Two weeks ago Minnesota gavet unbeaten Northwestern the scare of its life before succumbing in the final quarter, 6-0.J Michigan, too, was little awed by the Wildcats' high national rating. Last week it fought gallantly be- fore-falling by the wayside, 20-7. Furthering the similarities, both teams are relatively young andJ must rely a great deal on sopho-1 mores. And finally, Coaches Bump Elli- ott and Murray Warmath have faced a difficult task all week in getting their charges "up" for the game. Pre-kickoff tabulations have es- tablished the Gophers as a one- touchdown favorite based on two considerations.- First, the old gridiron maxim See TRADITIONAL, Page 6 joinsIDe few For Stra tegy LEGAL LEADERS--Governor G. Mennen Williams (beneath microphone), law school officials and famous judicial and, legal authorities participated at the University law school Centennial luncheon yesterday. Cite Law School Anniversary FINANCES: Officials Maintain. Optimism Regents and administrators maintained a gim optimism yes- terday-in the face of rising threats to the University's financial se- curity. President Harlan Hatcher ex-j pressed hope that the Legislature "is urgently working on a solution to Michigan's tax problems." President- Hatcher told the Board of Regents that the state Administrative Board had assured the University its October payroll will be met next week. Borrowing Possible When asked if further borrow- ing from banks or tapping of stu-; dent fees might be necessary to pay salaries beyond October, the president was uncertain. "I don't know yet what this in- dicates," he said, referring to the supreme Court's decision to void the use tax. "There are too many unknowns to make any statement at this moment. The Court's ruling will be felt later; there isn't much to say now about the events of the last 24 hours." Fees Would Help Use of student fees could prob- ably get the University through another month, Vice-President and Dean of Faculties Marvin L. Niehuss indicated: "Another month, ad from there, nobody knows," summar- ized Regent Charles Kennedy. President Hather emphasized "it is not our position to criticize or offer hard advice to the Legis- lature." MSU Objects His comment was an indirect criticism of Michigan State Uni- versity President John A. Hannah, See Related Story, Page 3 who rapped state officials this week for "balancing the state's books at the expense of the uni- versities." "We are in for chaos unless the Legislature acts quickly to find a new source of revenue," Hanhah warned. Williams Worried Gov. G.. Mennen Williams, a campus visitor yesterday, was op- timistic about the future of the University law school, but not much else. He said he would make no spe- ciflc recommendations regarding a tax program, and indicated he would accept the final decision of the Legislature. Rep. George Wahr Sallade, (R- Ann Arbor) also attending the law school ceremonies, was disap- pointed with the Governor's fail- ure to make recommendations, but said, "this doesn't excuse the Legislature from their responsibil- ities. "I-don't think that any major tax bill will be passed this year," Sallade said. "But the state might get by by adding a few more minor taxes somewhere," he added. By JEAN SPENCER National and international legal authorities gathered at the Uni- versity yesterday in a gesture of esteem for the University Law School, which is celebrating its 100th birthday this week. The two - day centennial pro- gram is intended to serve a double purpose: as a means of bringing together University Law School alumni and as an institute to examine various areas of legal practice and education. Today's events began at 9:30 a.m. in Rackham Lecture Hall with a talk on "The Relation Be- tween the National and State Gov- ernments in our Federal System"' by The Honorable John R. Brown, United States circuit ajudge from Houston, Texas. Congress' Responsibility Judge Brown asserted that. the major responsibility for determin- ing the future course of federal- state relations lies in the hands of, Congress. He told 400 alumni attending the centnnial that Congress "will' have a hand virtually free of judi- cial restraint, in formulating and stimulating federal policy through 7e Instiltute Analysis state action, financed by federal grants-in-aid or tax credits." He concluded that Congress must now impose upon itself the same self-restraint which it and its members have urged upon the judiciary. Sees Bright Future Speaking on "The Prospect of Liberty," a prominent New York attorney told the opening session of the meeting that prospects for maintaining a high level of per- sonal freedom in America over the next century remain bright. Ralph M. Carson, of the New York Bar, affirmed that despite the spread of "brutal and fero- cious" tyrannies in recent years, the past century has seen "by and large a broadening of freedom" in the world. Governor G. Mennen Williams delivered the luncheon address in the Michigan Union. Ballroom. His remarks were read by Law School Dean E. Blythe Stason, since Dethmers was hospitalized in Lansing. early this week following an appendectomy. Both he and Williams will re- ceive honorary doctor of law de- grees from the University today, together with ten others. Emphasize Fundamentals At the afternoon session, two of the nation's top law school deans declared that law schools should place greater emphasis on study of fundamentals and less on the day-to-day details of deci- sions. Their topic was, "Frontiers in Legal Education." Dean Erwin N. Griswold of Har- vard University and Dean Edward H. Levi of the University of Chi- cago warned that as the American legal system becomes increasingly Board Asks State For $38 Million Budget Allows for Enrollment Rise; Salary Increases Get High Priority By NAN MARKEL The University Regents yesterday approved an operating budget request which asks the state legislature for a higher appropriation than ever before. Acknowledging the gravity of the state's financial condi- tion, the board still gave its nod to a figure of $38,694,993 to cover general operating expenses at the University's Ann Ar- bor campus and at the Flint and Dearborn branches. University President Harlan Hatcher prefaced release of the 1960-61 request by noting, half-smiling, "theoretically, at least, the state has already made provision for the Univer- sity's fiscal year 1959-60." The request is $1,326,723 higher than was asked for the fiscal year 1959-60. It allows for an enrollment increase of 500 to 1,000 students in the fall' complex, continued overemphasis on details may tend to make legal education obsolete. At the dinner meeting yesterday, Lord Hartley Shawcross of Lon- don, England spoke on "The Rule of Law in World Affairs." Lawyers, scientists and statesmen must work together to foster order before world law can become a- reality, he averred. The centennial will close to- morrow with an address by Asso- ciate Justice John M. Harlan of the UnitediStates' Supreme Court, after which the honorary degrees will be presented. Conc'ert Set For Tionight The Boston Symphony will pre- sent a concert tonight in Hill Aud., featuring classical, romantic and modern music. Charles Munch will conduct'the 8:30 p.m. performance.

Shortcross,in town for the law school centennial, will be inter- viewed. of 1960. But "the University will be in a position to enr'oll that many more students" only "if it receives the appropriation requested," Presi- dent Hatcher explained after the meeting. An expected "increase in serv- ices requested from all areas of the state" also brought the total up to its final high. The request for the fiscal year 1960-61 carries forward shortages created in 1958-59 when the Legislature appropriated less than in the previous year, although the. University had grown larger- and asked more funds. Equipment Needed Sharp reductions made then in funds available for equipment,z supplies, maintenance and relat- ed areas have not been restored.- Essentially, the latest request is similar to the 1958-59 budget, ex- cept for wage and salary increases for staff and faculty members. Slightly less than ten per cent1 over-all raises were effected last1 July immediately after the Uni- versity received news of its ap- propriation. . Another salary and -wage in- l crease heads the priority list in the 1960-61 budget request. De-y spite the July raises, faculty mem- bers' real income has fallen be-, hind the rest of the nation's in- come earners. While'the civilian labor force has an increase in real income of 69 per cent since 1939, the University faculty's real in-; come has increased only about 19 per cent, the Regents noted. Ask Salary Money Increases of "roughly nine per cent" are calculated, but these would not be made "across the board," President Hatcher said. Second priority goes to, 126 ad- ditional teachers who will be needed to maintain acceptable teacher-student ratios, along with+ some additional non-teaching staff members and more non-sal- ary funds for instructional sup- plies, equipment and "related{ services." Third, funds for business and plant operations including re- placements created by obsolescence and deferred maintenance (which the Regents notedmhave been .ieeded for some time). Library Improvement Fourth, more adequate support was asked for the libraries,' faculty' research, student services and the University's public services. In addition to the general funds operating request, the Regents also approved requests for six "separate line items." These included operating funds of $935,000 for the Institute of Science and Technology; $519,000 for research and services in hu- man resources; $286,000 for the. Institute of Labor and Industrial Relations (a joint request withx Wayne State University). .- Also, $150,000 for Great Lakes Research Institute; $2,472,549 for three mental health units-Neuro- psychiatric Institute, Children's U Expenses *$92 Million During Year University expenses totalled $92,614,994 for the fiscal year end- ing June 30, 1959. The state of Michigan fAnanced approximately one-third of the total expenditure, while student fees contributed $9,471,795 - and gifts and grants contributed $8,373,394. Other sources of revenue in- cluded investment income, depart- mental and research revenue and operating revenue from services such as hospitals and student residences. These facts and other summaries "in terms of dollars and cents" were released to the Regents yes- terday in the financial report of the University for 1958-59. Reflects Decrease The report reflected a decrease in state appropriations from the, previous year, and an increase in research grants. Greater research activity was a major factor in an increase in the University's total expenditures - for the fiscal year from $86,092,521 in 1957-58 to the $92.6 million figure. Of this, total, expenditures f or general operations dropped from $41,094,626 to, $40,607,583 while research expenditures increased from $21,067,223 to $26,000,224. The increase in research pro- duced an increase in the amount spent for salaries, wages and em- ployee benefits as well as for ma- terials, supplies and travel. - Loans Increase The report also shows that funds available for loans to students in- creased over $500,000. Reviewing the "difficult" year 1958-59, the financial report said: "The financial problems of the state of Michigan forced several delays in the monthly payments by the state to the 'University of monies apprdpriated by the Legis- lature. "In consequence, it was neces- sary twice for the University to arrange_ short-term commercial loans to meet faculty and staff payrolls, and to delay payments to vendors of goods and services." "That the University came. through this period with educa- tional programs intact and with relatively few losses of faculty members to other employers is a tribute to the loyalty of the staff and to the general public under- standing and sympathy for the University's situation." The University has joined five private schools in a program which conducts $3.5 'million worth of classified defense research annually. The Regents accepted an invitation to join the Institute for De- tense Analysis yesterday. The Institute was established by a grant of $500,000 from the Ford Foundation, and is now supported by Defense1 Department contracts let to mem- ber -and other schools. Defines Program Defense analysis involves appli- cation of. mathematics to prob- lems of strategy and weapons per- formance, Vice-President for Re- search Ralph A. Sawyer ex- plained. World War Two develop- ments . in anti-submarine warfare and patterns for bombing raids are early examples of such ap- plication, he said. The University has been en- gaged in defense analysis work for some time at the secret Willow Run Laboratories, Sawyer pointed out, but membership in the Insti- tute places the University in a "distinguished position" with no added cost or Pliability. .
