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.

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 (Continued from Page 1) 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 Dani§ s' office to 8,500 students and teachers in the Ann Arbor Public School system.

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. r"- Page Seven Van ylen gets new post (Continued from Page 1) focusing upon corporate recruit- ing and classified research. Van Wylen has maintained a conser- vative stance on both these issues. At a Regents open hearing on recruiting last year, Van Wylen spoke in favor of allowing recruit- ment from any corporation that wishes to come to campus. Van Wylen has held the en- gineering deanship since 12965. Prior to that, he s -rved as chair- man of mechanical engineeting. As a researcher. Van.Wylen worked on projects sponsored by the National Science Foundation, the National Aeronautical and Space Administration and the Michigan Memorial Phoenix Pro- ject. In addition, he has served on the Senate Advisory Committee on University Affairs - the fac- ulty executive body, the Library, Council, and the Board of Gover- nors for Religious Affairs.
