P rofile: WILLIAM
By THOMAS HAYDEN
William Stirton bent low over
his desk and graphed a time
axis.
"This line represents the in-
creasing age of people starting
in Jobs. This line represents the
lowering age of retirement. This
one represents decreasing work
hours per week."
The lines converged gradu-
ally, creating 'a small rectangle
in the center of the sheet.
"That center rectangle is the
sum total of professional work
time. It's decreasing steadily,
and conversely, all the space
around it is growing larger. And
it's that outside space-'leisure,'
some call it-that I'm worried
about."
Cites Civic Needs
The vice-president and di-
rector of the Dearborn Center
raised his eyes from the free-
hand sketch. "That ever-in-
creasing space is the time when
people talk and read and write..
It's the reason why more out-
board motors are being sold. It
opens up time not only for out-
boards, but for community af-
fairs. '',
"The education of a people.
has to encompass this whole
area. I would concern -myself
with education for the total
utilization of the time people
will be on earth."
Judging from his day 'to day
work, Stirton has little leisure
time. He was hired in 1956 to
handle certain aspects of Uni-
versity development and to act
as a liaison man with the Leg-
islature. Since then he has tak-
en over the post of director of
the new Dearborn experiment
in education.
Several Assignments
Between his frequent trips
from Ann Arbor to Dearborn,
Stirton finds time for his nu-
merous other duties, including.
his assignments on the execu-
tive committee of Citizens for
Michigan and the board of
directors of American Motors
Corp.
When not working, Stirton
turns to flowers.
"I spend all my free time in
my greenhouse. You can com-
pletely unwind there. You re-
lax and become a person out-
side the workaday world.: Some
find it in books or music: I find
the ultimate solace and reas-
surance in my flowers."
Strange for an engineer?
Stirton replies with a flat no.
He objects to "too much talk.
about compartmentalizing,
,about breaking the 'scientist'
and the 'liberal arts' man into
different camps.'
Beauty Everywhere
"I cannot see why the man
of science should be thought of
as lacking things of the spirit.
Beauty is all pervading. Those
that don't see i$ in both the

myopic." "r
Stirton feels it is "terrifically
important" that engineers have.
closer exposure to liberal arts.
training. " - -
To prepare a better citizenry
is a primary task of education,
he feels.
Free Society's Need
"The requisites for a free
society are common wisdom '
and uncommon ability, so that
each person may play several
roles with competence and one
with distinction. A free society
requires more leaders than any
better citizenry than ever be-
fore. Education doesn't give a
man the right to be parasitical,
but heightens his obligation to
serve the community."
Some of these same feelings
inspired the Citizen's for

men and women for war pro-

"Both of us were thinking '
of some sort of statewide
group, based on a need to get
the facts together and let the
people look at them.".

Anti-Nazi
Germans
aggi
BERLIN VP' - West Germany's
first major anti-Nazi demonstra-
tion in more than a quarter ofa
century rolled through the streets
of Berlin last night.
Authorities were cracking down
on neo-Nazi activities and out-
buirsts of anti-semitism reflected
in anti-Jewish slogans on walls
from Hamburg to Hong Kong.
Police estimated 10,000 West
Berliners, mostly young people,
began their mile - long parade
despite weather near the freezing
point. Thousands more joined
them as they marched. They car-
ried banners reading "against race
hate" and "Nazis get out.". Many
carried torches.
West Germans could remeniber
no such anti-Nazi parade since
Adolf Hitler took power in 1933.
New anti-Jewish activity1
throughout the Western world
consisted largely of painting
swastikas and slogans on syna-
gogues and Jewish homes. Com-
munists denied it had .spread to
their part of the world, but East
Germany's Red Premier Otto
Groetwohl accused "imperialist
and military elements" in West
Germany of trying to incite anti-
semitism in his domain.
More Incidents
Evidence appeared that the in-
cidents in Germany had inspired
others in Italy. Naples police
found swastikas with the German
words "Juden raus" (Jews get
out) in the central part of the
city.
West German authorities took
these steps to discourage neo-
Nazi activity.
1) The state of Rhineland-
Palantinate banned a public con-
vention of the radical rightist
German Reich party scheduled in
Kaiserslautern for Sunday. Wil-'
helm Meinberg, a former general
in the Nazi's elite SS and leader
of the party, was to have addressed
it. The government noted that
two members of the party are
under arrest for smearing swas-
tikas on a Cologne synagogue
Christmas eve. It was this incident'
that touched off the worldwide
wave of vandalism.
2) A West Berlin German court
set what it called an example and
sentenced Alfred Straats, 49 years;
old, a city housing official, to 17
months in prison for giving the
Nazi salute before rightist youths
in a tavern this week. He ad-
mitted this, and saying: "Heil
Hitler." The Nazi salute is barred
under allied military occupation
laws for West Berlin.,
A world human rights organi-
zation called yesterday for a,
United Nations investigation of
"the present outbreak of racial,
and religious hostility" noted in,
many nations.
League Disturbed .
The International League for
the Rights of Man made public a
letter asking for this action froma'
the United Nations Subcommis-;
sion on Prevention of Discrimina-
tion and Protection of Minorities.
The League also asked for a con-
demnatory resolution.I
Its letter, signed by Chairman
Roger Baldwin and Vice-Presi-
dent Max Beer, said the League
was "deeply disturbed by the pres-
ent outbreak of racial and reli-
gious hostility." Without men-'
tioning any particular country,1
it added that such movements
must be stopped in their begin-
ning.

The stiffest penalty for cheat-
ing that the literary college im-
poses - expulsion - was handed
down to three students this week.
All first-semester seniors, they
will not be allowed to re-enter the
literary college after the current
semester ends without approval
from the college's Administrative
Board, which determined their
penalty,
A fourth student will graduate
on schedule next month, but like
his companions, will receive a
failing grade in the journalism
course where the cheating was
discovered.
It was the first time this se-
mester that the Board has used
the "fairly severe penalty" of ex-
pulsion although 12 to 14 casesof
cheating have cropped up so far,
James H. Robertson, associate
dean of the literary college and
chairman of the judiciary group,
said yesterday.
The quartet, according to evi-
dence submitted to the Board by
their professor, used corrected an-
swers from an old essay examina-
tion in completing a current test
in their journalism class.
As for their future, Robertson
explained that any of them could
petition the Board of four faculty
and three student members for
re-entry when 'he feels he has
evidence that he will be a "stu-
dent who'will meet without ques-
tion his responsibilities in the.
college."
Expulsion Is usually reserved
for "two-time losers" or in cases
where "the Board is convinced the
students are not. coming clean,"
Robertson indicated.
"If the student simply regrets.
getting caught, then there's no
place for him here," he said.
Relatively few cases of plagiar-
ism and cheating handled by the
Board end in expulsion for the
student. Judicial action, Robert-
son pointed out, ranges from
"possible exoneration" if nothing
but circumstantial evidence is
available, to a failing grade for
the paper, examination or course,
to definite or temporary expulsion.
from the purchase of surrounding farmland. A faculty planning
committee is in charge of its development. Until state funds are.avail-
able, the project will be advanced as far as posstible with funds other
.
than those directly appropriated
by the state.
EUnder Construction
The central two-fifths of the
building complex is presently un-
der construction. It includes the
service building, two greenhouses,
and service corridor, and a re-
search-teaching building. This is
insufficient to accommodate the
present program but will give re-
lief where the inadequacies have
been greatest.
Future development will include
a research greenhouse, a labora-
tory administration building, six
chambers for controlled environ-
ment, and facilities for graduate
and undergraduate instruction.
The new facilities replace the
present University Botanical Gar-
dens, located within the city.
The director, Prof. ,A. Geoffrey
Norman of the botany depart-
ment, explained that it no longer
meets the requirements of a grow-
ing program and has greenhouses
obsolete in construction and in-
adequate in size.
'More Potential'
Prof. Norman added that the
new site "has a great dealnmore
potential, botanically, than the
old area. "Our main goal," he said,
will be to protect the natural'
setting while accommodating with-
in it the greenhouse facilities and
specimen plantings which are es-
sential elements of botanicalgar-
dens."
The new Botanical Gardens will
afford ample space for introduc-
tion of plant collections of various
types, and for substantial field
plots for experimentation in ge-
netics and 'other research requiring
annual or short-duration plant-
ings, Prof. Norman noted.
The gardens will include a
permanent plant collection dis-
play accessible to visiting groups,
students and the public.,
In addition to botanical work,
the new center will serve as a field
laboratory for instruction in areas'
outside the plant sciences, such as
outside the plant sciences.

Tuition Fees

Where do tuition fees fit into

of-state students) handed the

tration are first of all lumped to-
gether with the rest of the tuition:.
fees in what is known as the Gen-
eral Fund.
There about $100 of each resi-
dent tuition fee remains, being
used to pay day-to-day operating
expenses of the University and
other general costs.
Of the $300 out-of-state tuition
fee, approximately $275 remains
in the general kitty .to be used for
the same purposes.
Remainder Parceled
The other $25 are parceled out
among six units of the University,
in accordance with allocations set
by the Board of Regents in the.
annual budget. -
A $7.50 segment of each wom-
an's tuition fee is delegated to the
Michigan League and a six dollar
segment of each man's to the
Michigan Union. The athletic de-
partment is apportioned five dol-
lars.
Another five dollars helps pay
for the Student Activities Build-
ing. The Michigan Alumni Asso-
ciation is provided $1.25 and the
Student Government Council is
given the remaining 25 cents.
Allocate Fees
The arrangement for allocating
tuition fees is regulated by the
Committee on University Fees,
whose five members, two Univer-
sity vice - presidents and three°
deans, are appointed by Univer-
sity President Harlan Hatcher.
"This arrangement has re-
mained virtually unchanged fore
the past 8 or 10 years, except for
the recent addition of a ten dol-
lar appropriation for the Student
Activities Building," Dean of
State-wide Education Harold M.

mittee said.

man he consults individual com-

tions for departmental workshops,

"With the ever-mounting num-
ber of students seeking places to
attend college, accompanied, by
rising costs, we will be increas-
ingly pressured to raise the Uni-
versity's tuition fees," Dorr added.

DEFENSE SHINES IN LEAGUE WIN:
Wolverines Outskate Tech Huskies, 5-1
By MIKE GILLMAN
An iron-clad defense, a change of lines and a brilliant job of goal
keeping by Jim Coyle combined to give Michigan a bruising 5-1 win
over Michigan Tech here last night.
The Wolverines, who will be meeting the revenge-minded Huskies
again tonight, got off on the right foot with an early tally and were
never in trouble from there on in. At 8:09 of the opening frame, de-
fenseman John Palenstein rifled home his second goal of the cam-
paign while Tech was shorthanded to give Michigan a lead' it never
surrendered.
With that 25-foot screen shot by a defenseman opening the
night's scoring, the near-capacity- crowd should have known that it
was going to be a night for the defense. The Wolverine back men gave
Coyle near-perfect support as they allowed the Huskies to fire but 20
shots on goal the entire evening.
Defense Stars
"The defense is stopping as many shots as the goalie," plaintively
a
