(Continued from Page 1) investigation, but did not predict possible legislative proposals. Indicates Findings Seidman said the Citizen's Com- mittee was also waiting for the Jamrich report, but did give some indication of the report's possible findings. In an open letter to Grand Rap- ids residents, Seidman said the committee, stressing need for the college, cited Russell Report figures showing only 24 per cent of col- lege age students from the Grand Rapids eight-county area state supported institutions, against 29 per cent, the state average. Elementary Level Higher Another more recent survey, Seidman said, shows there are twice as many second-graders in the area as high school seniors. "The only valid reason for the low rate," the report says, "is the lack of such a college within close proximity of our homes." Seidman said this was especially serious since the area had a some- what higher economic level than many other areas in the state. - The college program envisaged at present would be "based on a program of liberal arts, but with special emphasis on engineering teacher --education, and possibly business administration and agri- culture." Economic Arguments In the letter the committee also invoked strong economic argu- ments for the college. The report places initial build-, ing costs at an estimated two to four million dollars, but also em- phasizes that university twons Ann Arbor and East Lansing annually profit by $60 to $70 million from the big state universities; college would also attract more industry. Tuition would be about $500, or less; the letter contrasted this with a $1,500 estimate for either University or MSU students. "The savings is -literally - the differ- ence between .a college education and no college education for many." State Funds Needed State appropriations would be the main source of funds for the college, supplemented by local con- tributions; Seidman said the com- mittee does not expect large local grants. Whinery commented a local con- tribution would not be a condition for state support but might ex- pedite action. Unit cost per student over the first two years would be about $800, the letter estimated. The committee does not think a four-year college would have an adverse effect. on presently exist- ing institutions, including Grand Rapids Junior College, Muskegon Community and three other small church colleges. The letter says a satisfactory relationship could be worked out, but Dean Dorr suggested a more affirmative approach. The Russell Report, he said, em- phasized the complementary func- tions of community and regular four-year colleges.. The goal of a two year com- munity college is to reach a broad- er educational base, emphasizing vocational training and terminal studies as well as preparation for transfer to four-year colleges. Seidman thinks the college could get going quickly perhaps using facilities of the junior college and operating only for third and fourth year students. Double sessions would be neces- sary, and a good deal of incon- venience would be caused, he said, but would be worked away quickly. Also Need Name Another big problem, he added, is finding a name for the college. 'Western Michigan' is already being used, as is 'Grand Rapids,' for the junior college. "Michigan College" might be used he said, especially since pres- ent plans envisage only this status for Grand Rapids four-year edu- cation.
