RACKHAM 11STUDENTS
$100,000.
Included with your ballot in the mailing for the Rackham
Student Government election is a questionnaire about
the sources of money you are tapping to support your
studies. It is very important that you fill out and return
this questionnaire. Currently all Teaching Fellows; most
Research Assistants' and all Staff Assistants' salaries
include a sum of money expected to be returned to the
university as tuition. The difficulty with this "incestuous
financing" is that this sum is part of a graduate student
employee's TAXABLE income. If this sum were delivered
in the form of a tuition scholarship, it would be non-tax-
able. This might save Rackham students' more than
$100,000 in taxes.
The U presently does not, however, possess adequate
information to assess the costs and benefits of changing
from "incestuous financing" to tuition scholarships. The
RSG questionnaire is an attempt to provide this informa-
tion. IT IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT FOR TFs, RAs, and
OTHER U EMPLOYEES TO RETURN THE QUESTION-
NAIRE. The questionnaire may be returned with your
ballot in the envelope provided either by campus mail or
.moil.

City educational head gives:
Secondarv school concept

By MERYL GORDON
The collective computer "mem-
ories" of the University, Michi-
gan State University and Wayne
State University have recently
been combined in one of the
nation's first university comput-
er "hook-ups."
The computer network, titled
the Michigan Research Informa-
tion Triad (MERIT) allows stu-
dents and faculty of all three

schools to pool their informa-
tion and share data stored in
their three computers.
Completed last month, the
project is what its director, en-
gineering Prof. Bertram Herzog.
calls an "operational experi-
n ent."
"Resources of all three cen-
ters are available to anyone who
wants them and is able to avail

proved by the Board of Educa-
tion, has not been approved at
this date.
Students at the school will have
a flexible, individual schedule in
areas of personal interest, with
access to conventional high school
facilities for mass activities like
band, or sports.
The school would sr-'ve as an
extension of pressnt area high
schools, with a suggested size of
300 or 400 pupi-s. divided into ten
or fifteen "units," each headed
by a teach' r-coun>elor-coordina-
tor.
Student su''port for th- school
seems assured. judging from the
resu'ts of p survv~y dist, ibilted by

DaniĀ§ s' office to 8,500 students
and teachers in the Ann Arbor
Public School system. The replies
to the survey.
A director for the new school
will be recommended for appoint-
ment next month, all student ap-
plications for admittance will be
accepted in approximately ten
weks. Opening of the new school
is schrduled for September 1972.
Doubts about the planned high
school were voiced by one board
member.
"But I'm just afraid that too
mnny alternatives in hi-h school
educat on might produce lines of
distinction between students with
diff rent areas of study." said
Henry Johnson.

themselves of the information,"
says Herzog. who explains thatf
or-s-nt users need departmentali
funds. skill and knowledge toS
utilize MERIT hook-up.S
At present the book-up is be-
ing used primarily by its devel-x
onars. but Herzog expects its use
to grow extensively within ther
next year.
"It takes some time to explore
the notential of this thing." he
comments.
The concept of MERIT was
born in 1966 as a" project of the '
Michigan Tnteruniversity Com-
mittee on Information Systems.
In 1966-67 the State Legislature
authorized $200.000 to help fi-1
nance the project, with the pro-;
vision that the three schools in-
volved would match that alto-
cation with funds of their own.
It took until June, 1969 to al-
locate all the funds and com-
plete all the planning, and the
technical work on setting up the4
hookup has taken the last two
years.
The three svstams were inte-1
'rated by the installation of'
three smaller communications
comnuters lnto each of the three -
major emnuters. Herzog calls'
the oroject an "astoundin su-
cesQ" and cites a variety of tech-
nical oroblems involved in the
hook-up.
Although MERIT at present
involves only three universities.
H'~r,7og hopes that it will even-
tually include several other
Michigan schools in its informa- -
tion pool.
Meanwhile, Herzog says, he'll
be involved in "improving infor-
mation dissemination" about the
MERIT system within the Uni-
versity. Faculty members and
students need to know how they
can use the computer, he says,
and what information other
schools- have available to share.
