A sweeping study of the literary college
from financial aids to the philosophy of
education is near the point of becoming
reality. But two things are holding it up
-money and the departure of William
Hays as dean of the college.
Both factors could have considerable
effect upon what kind of study eventually
is begun. But for now, as Associate Dean
Alfred Sussman puts it, "The project is at
dead center."
A preliminary study began in October,
1969 when a committee chaired by Suss-
man was formed to examine the idea of
a commission to study the literary college
and to make recommendations on how
that commission should be set up and what
it should study.
The committee's proposals were released
of

LSA
in March in a 40-page report. Sprinkled
liberally with references to writers who
criticize various aspects of higher educa-
tion, the report uses those comments as the
basis for questioning the literary college
and thereby indicating areas to be studied.
A few of the questions in the report are:
-"What does a degree from the College
of Literature, Science, and the Arts certify
about the recipient of the degree?"
-"Does the present structuring of the
College into Departments impede inter-
disciplinary and program studies?"
-"Are there better ways of making use
of the ability of the graduate student to
teach undergraduates (than the present
teaching felloW system) ?"
-"Can a fair and appropriate role for
student participation in budget planning be
identified?"
-"Is there any reason to consider total
submersion of the present faculty and stu-
dent governing bodies in a joint assembly?"
-"How should the College respond to
social needs? Or should it?"
In addition to related questions in all
of these areas, the report suggests exam-
ining the basic purpose of a liberal arts
education and how the college should meet
it; the issue of faculty tenure, interdis-
ciplinary professors and meeting the
changing demands and attitudes of younger
faculty members; and the college's rela-
tions with other units in the University,
with the public as a group of individuals
and society as a whole.
The report places the time required for
the study at about a year and a half. But
Hays says, "Two years of hard work would
be required to produce anything remotely
resembling a planning report."
The next step, according to Sussman,
would be the establishment of a commis-
sion to take the preliminary report and
establish priorities among the many issues
raised by it. Then the commission would
decide how best to do the study itself.
"We might have task forces to study
each of the questions identified as prior-
ities," Sussman says. "The thing to avoid
is instant solution which are trivial."
To do that, Sussman says the "task
forces" would be given relatively limited
assigments, thus allowing them to study
their given problem in enough dept to
make recommendations which will be use-
ful both now and in the future.
"The work might not be limited to task
forces, however. If some existing body, such
as Student Government Council or Senate
Asembly, is more suited to a particular
area, then I'd like to see them take part,"
Sussman says.
But the study is effectively stalled for
the time being, primarily because of a lack
of funds. The report asks for a budget of
$142,000 to pay for a chairman, admin-
istrative secretary, consultants, survey
costs, a regular secretary and supply costs.
"A couple of years ago that much money
wouldn't have been outside the realm of
possibility," Sussman says "but given the
expected appropriation from the Legisla-
ture, we're in a lot of trouble." However,
even given the possibility of a smaller
budget, Sussman says he cannot speculate
on what form the study might take because
of the changeover in eans at the literary
college.
Hays, who has been dean for two years,
is leaving July 1 for a year of study at the
University Of California in Santa Barbara.
When hereturns, he will take over a new
position as Associate Vice President for
study
Academic Development, working in the of-
fice of Vice President for Academic Affairs
Allan Smith.
Smith discounts the impact of Hays'
departure on the form the study would
take, but Hays says, "I wouldn't be sur-
prised if the study were held until an
acting dean was appointed." Sussman
agrees that this is exactly what will hap-
pen.
The name of the acting dean will be
released in the next few weeks, probably in
time for the June 19 Regents' meeting, and
the state's appropriation to the University
should also be known by then. With both
uncertainties cleared up, the study will be
ready to proceed, although perhaps in a
limited or somewhat different form. But

WASHINGTON I-The
Army charged two decorated
infantry o f f i c e r s yesterday
with attempted murder by
ordering their men to shoot
into huts in a South Vietna-

woman reportedly died later and
her nephew, whose age was not

The formal announcement said
that Capt. Vincent N. Hartmann,
34, of Scranton, Pa., and 1st Lt.
Robert G. Lee, 22, of Springfield,
Mo., had been charged "with the
attempted murder of an unspeci-
fied number of human beings .. .
by ordering members of their
command to fire into buildings
used for human habitation" on orI
about June 15 last year.
The announcement provided
few details, but sources said shots
were fired against two huts out
of five ina asmall settlement.
The maximum penalty for at-
tempted murder is 20 years.
Both officers are now assigned
to the Army Infantry school bri-
gade at Ft. Benning, Ga.
They were serving with the 9th
Infantry Devision at the time of
the incident, whose location was
not specified in the announce-I
ment, beyond saying it was "inj

Hartmann commanded Com-

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. DP - President Nixon told a Billy

great spiritual resources which have made America what

It was Nixon's first campus speech in almost a year, and
the oval football stadium of the University of Tennessee over-
flowed with an audience estimated at 75,000.
The President stood through a long, loud standing ova-
tion, smiling and nodding while the small group of dissidents
chanted: "One, two, three, four, we don't want Nixon's war."
The answer came back in boos from the throng.
Evangelist Graham, Nixon said, told him there would be,

Students mobilize
By W. E. SCHROCK
A nationwide movement for a "New Con-
gress" has emerged out of renewed protest
against the war in Southeast Asia, with
a local chapter opening at the University.
Directed by liberal students who wish to
work "through the system," the movement
aims at making students an effective force
in determining the outcome of the con-
gressional elections, through a three-point
plan:

he said.
Gunnarson would not reveal
which groups he was referring to.
Gunnarson said he had "noth-
ing to do with" any decision to
call in police to intervene with the
demonstrators. However, the Ma-
comb County sheriff's office said
yesterday they plan to "take
whatever action is necessary to
see that no laws are broken."
Because the protesters will not
be allowed on the base, it is likely
that they will congregate in a
large empty field outside the Navy
gate. The sheriff's office said if
"the owner" chooses to ask them
to leave, deputies will make sure
they do.
Tomorrow's march will start at
the corner of Woodward and
Kirby in Detroit at 11 a.m. and
proceed to Kennedy Square where
the rally will be held from ap-
proximately noon until 2 p.m.
Speakers will include State Rep.
Jackie Vaughn III (D-Detroit),
James Lafferty, co-chairman of
the Detroit Coalition, Jacqueline
Rice, a black liberation and wo-
men's liberation activist, and Ger-
ald Brown, a GI from Selfridge.
Also speaking at the rally will
be the president of the Wayne
County AFL-CIO, Tom Turner,
whose union has come out in full
support of the protest for the first
time. A supportive statement by
Michigan AFL-CIO President Gus
Scholle is included in the union
newsletter.

he had "the highest regard for
this great law school and for

a part."
Allen also said he would like to
do some work in the area of juve-
Snile problems within the legal sys-
tem.
Sources in the law school cited
the turbulance of the past year9
centering around the Black Law7
Student Alliance (BLSA) as a
major factor in Alen's decision to
resign.
Demands by' the BLSA for
greater numbers ofhblack students
in the law school and a revision of
admissions requirements has cre-
ated divisions within the law
school faculty, and as dean, Allen
found himself in the middle of the
controversy, the sources said.
In addition to the BLSA de-
mands, Allen was also faced with
requests to secure new facilities
for the law school, especially a
larger library, and with deciding
how to expand the school's legal
aid service.
However, the problem of secur-
ing funds for increased construc-
tion and expansion has been com-
mon throughout the University
over the past four years.

tion, Vice President for Academic
Affairs Allan Smith said, "Frank
