Former Second District Democratic Party, Chairman George Sallade and City Council member Earl Greene (D- Second Ward), said Cohen had called them earlier this week about raising funds for Kennedy. COHtEN, A former Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare under former President Lyndon Johnson, and former dean of the University's School of Education, began raising funds and organizing supporters Monday, accor- ding to Gerald Faye, a second district Democrat contacted by Cohen earlier this week. FAYE, ONE of a number of people Cohen called to muster support for Kennedy, said yesterday, "he (Cohen) was asked to raise funds for the senator and to my knowledge he was awfully successful" this week. Faye said that Cohen would direct fund-raising efforts for Kennedy statewide. According to Faye, Cohen's fund- raising effort began the same day Ken- nedy's brother-in-law, Stephen Smith, announced the formation of a national campaign committee in Washington. COHEN YESTERDAY refused to comment on his fund-raising efforts for Kennedy. Faye and others met earlier this week to discuss fund-raising but "we decided very clearly not to make any organization," he said, because the group wanted to keep itself open to See COHEN, Page 2 Une mp loym en t rate up again Sun dance ki d Daily Photo by DAVID HARRIS Among the many people enjoying yesterday's unseasonable sunshine on the Diag was this little boy.

CONCERNED WITH 'NON-SPONSORED' STUDIES: Panel to review publicizing 'U' research By ALISON HIRSCHEL Heard about that recent University study? Neither have most people here. Because of that fact, a new University committee has been formed to investigate methods to help publicize the scholarly endeavors of faculty members. The group is particularly interested in recent allegations made by two faculty advisory committees that non-sponsored research conducted at the Univer- sity is not receiving the recognition it deserves. ATTENTION IS OFTEN paid to sponsored resear- ch-studies funded by sources outside the Univer- sity-according to John Eadie, professor of history and humanities and chairman of the informal and un- named five-member group. But it is more difficult to assess the amount of work done by non-sponsored researchers-those who do not receive outside fun- ding-Eadie said... In addition, It is more likely tht 'outside sponsors will fund an engineering or science study than one in the humanities, Eadie said. Both the Senate Assembly Committee on Academic Affairs (SAC AAM report, released in June, and a recent resolution of the faculty's Research Policy Committee (RPC) indicated the need for greater public awareness of all research work done at the University. But Eadie explained that the group will place special emphasis on the problems faced by non-sponsored researchers. "WE (THE COMITTEE) have a greater concern with people not normally considered when research is credited, when the dollars are toted up," Eadie said. But at least one member of the committee sees its goal as more than merely an effort to give a fair share to professors involved in non-sponsored research. N. Harris McClamroch, a professor in the College of Engineering, hopes to "make faculty research and scholarly activity more well-known, not just to the public, but to other professors at the University." McClamroch said he would like to see more publicity for faculty achievements such as Fulbright and Guggenheim scholarships and specific research projects in which professors are involved. ACCORDING TO McClamroch, this information has not been previously amassed and relased partly because there is no central group which collects it. "The University probably does receive notification of faculty members receiving Fulbright Scholar- ships," McClamroch said, "but that letter probably gets tossed out before anyone finds out." The committee has not yet made any formal recom- mendations on how to gather, and publicize its infor- mation. "I'd rather not make any comment on sub- stantive proposals. Right now we're trying to deter- mine to what extend faculty members have not been given sufficient recognition," one member said. ANOTHER COMMITTi~E member, Elaine Zim- merman, of the University's division of Research Development and Administration, said the group's results might be published. She also said there are several University publications which regularly report on sponsored research projects and might now include information on other research work. If diverse scholarly efforts were reported in this way, Zimmerman said that the committee's goal of "fair-minded treatment of research as research" would be achieved. The SACAA report concluded that research at the University is plagued by problems more significant than the discrepancy in the treatment of sponsored and non-sponsored research. The report states that morale is low among researchers on campus and that many faculty members have become disillusioned with research conditions, here. The report also contends that many of tloe Univer- sity's researchers are leaving for more profitable or satifying jobs at other universities and in the private sector. According to McClamroch, this problem will not be alleviated by greater recognition of faculty achievements. "It's not a matter of being recognized or patted on the back," he said. "We're just trying to have the University put its best face forward." From UPI and AP The nation's unemployment rate in- creased to six per cent in October with blacks and women hit hardest by job losses, the Labor Department reported yesterday. But the Labor Department said there were conflicting signs on whether the slight overall unemployment increase to six per cent from 5.8 per cent in Sep- tember is a signal that a much- discussed recession is taking hold. UNEMPLOYMENT has bounced in a narrow range between 5.6 per cent and six per cent for the past 14 months. The Labor Department said the num- ber of unemployed persons increased by, nearly 200,000 to 6.2 million in Oc- tober. Michigan's unemployment rate held steady at 7.2 per cent in October, 1.2 per cent .above the national average, the Michigan Employment Security Com- mission (MESC) reported yesterday. MESC DIRECTOR S. Martin Taylor said sluggish auto sales prevented the normal seasonal drop in unemployment from taking place last month. Taylor said unemployment-across the state rose by 5,000 in October to 315,000. However, the jobless increase was of- fset by a growth in employment of 11,000, which meant ,there were 4,028,000 people working in Michigan. The October rate was substantially above the year-ago level when the unemployment rate stood at 5.5 per cent with 230,000 persons out of work.

NATIONALLY, most of the increase in unemployment occurred among people who lost their jobs rather thin$ those newly entering the labor market; and most of the increase was among$ adult women and blacks - traditionally, the "last hired" and "first fired" when, the economy slows down. Unemployment among adult women was 5.8 per cent in October, up from, 5.5 per cent the previous month. It in- creased from 10.6 per cent to 11.7 per cent among blacks. Anticipating a, recession in they economy, the Carter administration has been forecasting a rise in unem- ployment to about seven per cent next; year. However, the recession has been; slow to develop.

William Proxm ire (D-Wis.), called it "a massive giveaway"~ and said Congress must cut the loan down. Proxmire, originally scheduled hearings on Nov. 19, but, yesterdayy pushed them forward nearly a week to Nov. 14, following intercession of Sen. Donald Riegle (D-Mich.). RIEGLE SAID the new schedule calls for the beginning of drafting a bill on Nov. 26. A House banking subcommittee was expected to call administration wit- nesses next week, then proceed im- mediately to preparing the bill's language. Proxmire, who opposes federal financial aid to private firms, issued a statement making clear the loan guarantee package announced yester- day by the administration will get rough handling when it comes before his committee. PROXMIRE CALLED the proposal "a massive giveaway for the taxpayers and a massive windfall to the banks, stockholders and others who have the main stake in the Chrysler bailout."
