Faculty Group
Set for Appeals
To Conduct Dismissal, Demotion
Cases Arising from May Hearings
By GENE HARTWIG
Operating within the new Regents' rulings on cases involving
dismissal or demotion of faculty members the ,University Senate Ad-
T visory Committee has set up a five-man stand-by group to hear such
cases it was learned yesterday.
Called the Subcommittee on Intellectual Freedom and Integrity,{
the group has met with University Vice-President and Dean of Facul-
ties Marvin L. Niehuss to discuss its function in the event that loyalty
charges leveled against University personnel at the May hearings of
the House Un-American Activities Committee give rise to action for

U Prepares
For Higher
Enrollment
(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the sec-
ond in a series of articles about the
problems created by expanding en-
rollment and how the University
plans to meet them.)
By JON SOBELOFF
Not with a shotgun, but with a
rifle.
That, according to Assistant
Dean of Faculties Robert L. Wil-
liams, is how the University is go-
ing after the problem of planning
for expanded enrollment.
"We don't have students 'en-
rolled in the University,' " Dean
Williams points out-"they're en-
rolled in separate schools." So
President Harlan H. Hatcher has
asked each school dean to send
along a memo on the future health
of his own school.
* * *
IN OTHER words, the "rifle"
technique means that each school
tries to figure out how many stu-
dents it could take care of with
how much additional expense and
with what effect on the education-
al process.
For instance, here's how one
dean, Dean E. Blythe Stason of
the Law School, viewed his
school's future in a letter to
Vice-President and Dean of
Faculties Marvin L. Niehuss re-
cently,
First, Dean Stason said, it would
be wrong "economically and oth-
erwise," to consider establish-
ing another state-supported Law
School in Michigan. The dean cit-
ed the tremendous capital invest-
ment and painstakingly built li-
brary facilities as wasteful, if not
impossible, to duplicate.

Creation of the subcommittee
did not require University Presi-
dent Harlan H. Hatcher's approval
since provision for it had been
made in the by-laws.
* * *
PROF. Angus Campbell, director{
of Survey Research Center, is
chairman of the subcommission.
The names of the other commit-
tee members have. not been re-
leased.
Athletic Director H. O. (Fritz)
Crisler announced yesterday that
Augustus P. (Gus) Stager, present
oach at Dearborn Fordson high
chool, has been named to fill the
hoes of retiring Matt Mann II as
Michigan's swimming coach.
At the same time Bruce Harlan,,
ormer Ohio State, NCAA, NAAU,
and Olympic diving champion and
resently coaching Sequoia high
school in Redwood, California, was
appointed diving coach.
* * *
THE appointments were well
eceived by Michigan swimmers
since the two men are both ex-
remely popular and respected.,
The appointment of Stager
may have been a strong determi-
nant in whether or not the
Wardrop twins will remain at
Michigan. It has been rumored
that the two Scottish stars have
shown interest in Yale and
might have already applied.
Stager's appointment may do a
lot to keep the boys here. They
think very highly of the new
mentor and are looking forward
to working with him.
Harlan's appointment may have
onger-ranged ramifications. In
recent years Ohio State has ob-
Naguib Out

As Premier
CAIRY, Egypt - )- Lt. Col.
Gamal Abdel Nasser emerged in
the powerful role of premier and
military governor of revolutionaryf
Egypt yesterday.
He assigned a new Cabinet min-
ister of "presidential affairs" to
look after Egypt's President Mo-
hamed Naguib.
A REVOLUTIONARY Council
announcement after an overnight
meeting broke up said the ill and
faltering Naguib has resigned as
premier but would remain as pres-
ident of the republic. It said Na-
guib asked Nasser to take over
as premier.
The presidency without con-
trol over the Cabinet or the all-
powerful eleven young officers
on the Revolutionary Council,
becomes largely a figurehead
post.
Unlikely
Capitol Hill
Controversy
Over Issue,
Kiowland Says Ike

WASHINGTON-The State De-
partment, declared last night it is
"highly unlikely" that American
troops will have to replace French
forces in Indochina, but supported
Vice President Nixon's stand that
Southeast Asia must be saved from
Communist aggression,
The department issued a state-
ment amid a hornet's nest of con-
gressional controversy stirred by
remarks of Vice President Nixon
Friday. The Vice President, an-
swering a hypothetical question at
a session of the American Society
of Newspaper Editors, said that in

ored sions on Capitol Hill, with some
legislators opposing any such use
of American troops, and others
demanding a clarification of ad-
i'ieiit ministration policy,
Sen. Knowland of California,
Senate Republican leader, said
U d it was "conceivable" but im-
probable" that the United States
might eventually have to dis-
patch military forces.
But he expressed confidence

Knowland, like other administra-

According to Prof. Campbell I
the committee has been set up
to hear appeals of faculty men7
against whom dismissal action
is proposed.
The Senate Advisory Commit- 1
tee, itself a 17 man body, is con-r
sidered too large a group to handle
cases of ths type unless specifi-
cally requested to do so.
Under changes made in Regent's
by-laws last fall regarding cases of
demotion or dismissal initiated at
the University level "the President
is now authorized to direct that
one hearing be held either before
the Senate Advisory Committee
or a special committee of five
made up of Senate members."
* * *.
IT IS THIS latter body, appoint-
ed by the Advisory Commntec,
which has been designated a:
stand-by group to provide the fac-
ulty man a hearing.
To date no requests for hear-
ings have been made, Prof.
Campbell said.
