Problems
Discussed
North Campus Needs
Long Range Planning
While the concept of a frater-
nity row is a "fine" one, Univer-
sity Vice-President Wilbur K.
Pierpont told The Daily, it will
take a great deal of "long range"
planning to develop one at the
University.
"This thing isn't going to hap-
pen next week or next month,"
he explained. "There are a great
many short range problems to be
solved."
Land has to be set aside .- "a
problem in itself" -- and then de-
veloped with roads, water, sewage,
etc.
Expansion
Such a set-up is in line with
University plans for expansion.
The administration was to make
North Campus an integral part
of the campus, he said.
"And if we're thinking in terms
of classrooms, student housing,
and student centers, we certainly
should have some fraternities
there too.
"I don't think all the fraterni-
ties are going to pack up and move
any more than the Literary Col-
lege is. It will be gradual."
Proposal
During the summer, IFC sub-
mitted a proposal to the Univer-
sity explaining plans for a North
Campus fraternity row.

Interest


Total enrollment nosed upward
8.4% from last year's 20,676 fig-
ure. Men gained 8.5%, women
8.2%.
Enrollment Increases
Absolute enrollment increases in
the University's fifteen schools
were led by College of Engineering
which vaulted almost 400, from
2,685 last year to 3,109, The Grad-
yate School was another to gain
nearly 400,. bouncing from 3,959
to 4,311.
Four schools under-shot their
1955 figures - Business Adminis-
tration, Medicine, Natural Re-
sources and Social Work.
The 8.4% enrollment increase is
interesting statistically. Robert L.
Williams, assistant dean of facul-
ties, disclosed that the University
has increased its faculty from 1,-
450 in 1955 to 1619 this fall - an
11.5% expansion. This reveals an
approximate student-teacher ratio
of 13.1.
Appropriations
General Operations appropria-
tions from the 'State Legislature
were boosted 15.8% in 1956-57
over 1955-56. General Operations
encompasses salaries, wages.and
insurance payments to University
teachers and employees.
Capital Outlay appropriation in
1956 - new plant and equipment
-zoomed 63% to $8,565,000. These
figures were released by Robert N.
Cross, administrative assistant to
the president.
One facet of University plan-
ning' *for rising enrollment tides
has bogged down critically - dor-
mitory construction. A housing
shortage this fall has caused pri-
vation and inconvenience for hun-
dreds of students.
More Students
Next year when administrators
expect 24,226 students on campus
-almost 3,000 more than the pres-
ent enrollment - no new dormi-
tory facilities will be provided by
the University. In 1958, a 1200-
capacity women's dormitory will
be in service, plus 300 additional
North Campus married students
apartments.
Following is a complete break-
down of the enrollment increase
by schools: Architecture and De-
sign from 618 last year to 634,
Business Administration fell from
1,001 to 997, Dentistry edged from
427 to 429.
Education
Education pushed from 767 to
825, Engineering from 2,685 to
3,109, Graduate School from 3,959
to 4,311, Law from 807 to 870.
The College of Literature, Sci-
ence and the Arts was another
gain leader, rocketing from 6,453
to 6,995, Medicine from 1,069 lost
to 1,025, Music from 516 to 546,
Natural Resources fell to 176 from
193.

for local voters and viewers.
Young Republicans, Young
Democrats, and Students for
Stevenson have completed tenta-

debates, and promises of nation-
ally-known speakers.
Young Republicans and Young
Democrats plan to meet at least

merits of their own party lines,
according to Lew Engman, '57, YR
president, and Bill Peer, '57, YD
president.

committee.
It calls for "setting aside of ade-
quate acreage in the North Cam-
pus area" for 40 fraternities, with
a recommendation for about two
acres per house.
Cost Basis
Each fraternity would pay for
the sites on a cost basis, with the
guarantee of "insurance company
mortgages by the University" on
a forty year payment amortization
plan with interest at the "lowest
possible" rateavailable,
If this can't be done, the pro-
posal suggests that the University
investigate some other method of
financing.
'U' Decides
The University would decide on
sanitation ,adequacy of room sizes,
with the fraternities using their
own judgment on such questions
as layout, architecture and design.
The proposal claims that a min-
imum of 14 fraternities would
build new houses on North Cam-
pus with the first five years of its
existence, and 22 houses are guar-
anteed during the first ten years.

TU' Average
Remains At
2.58 Mark
By THOMAS BLUES
University undergraduate stu-
dents, during the 1955-56 academic1
year, again tied their record grade
point average of 2.58.
According to Edward G. Groes-
beck, Director of the Office of
Registration and Records, this fig-
ure was first attained in 1951-52.
Women students, with a 2.69
average, bettered the 1954-55 ef-
fort to establish a new high for
them. The men's average remained
constant from the 1954-55 term
at 2.52. Freshmen gained .03 on the
previous year's average to estab-
lish their mark at 2.40.
Further breakdown of the fig-
ures included in the report from
the Office of Registration and
Records reveals that sorority'
women attained an. average of
2.70 as compared to those living in
residence halls with 2.63.
The fraternity average, the only
classification which dropped down
from it's previous year's academic
standing, achieved a 2.48 average.
Leading academically on cam-
pus is Martha Cook, which took
top honors with 3.07. In men's
residence halls Kelsey of South
Quad had a 2.67 average, enabling
them to emerge first in their div-
lsion. Sigma Delta Tau placed'
first among sororities with an av-
erage of 2.80 and Phi Epsilon Pi
attained an average of 2.85 to lead
the fraternities.
In men's residence halls ten
houses were average or better with
the same number below this mark.
Out of 41 fraternities listed in the1
report 16 were average or above as'

AA Police
Lack 20-30
Staffmen
Ann Arbor's police department
will be understaffed by 20 to 30
men this year, according to Police
Chief C. M. Enkemann.
Enkemann's comment was based
on an estimate there should be'
one and one-half to two policemen
per 1,000 citizens. While the Uni-
versity is in session Ann Arbor's
population exceeds 75,000. There
are only 71 persons in the police
department presently,
"Our budget allows us to em-
ploy 81 people," Enkemann said,'
"but we have no one in training
school now because we can't find
qualified applicants."
Resignations
The police department is just
now recovering from a seige of
resignations which occured last
November.
"We were already eight men
short at the time," Enkemann said,
"and when 11 men resigned the
remaining policemen had to go on
a 12-hour day."
Changes
Summer brought the biggest
changes in the police set-up "in
the 27 years I've been on the force,".
Enkemann said.
The Ann Arbor City Council,
concerned over discontent in .the
police department, with wages and
lack of overtime pay, called in the
J. L. Jacobs Company of Chicago,
Illinois, to investigate the situa-
tion.
On the recommendations by
Jacobs Co. all policemen were
given a raise in salary, pay for
overtime, a longevity plan calling
for pay raises after 10 years ser-
vice, and a four-scale pay level
with provisions for pay raises for
the first ten years with the de-
partment.
Provision '
"When this provision was made
to pay policemen for all work over
eight hours it was the first time
in Ann Arbor history the police
force received pay for overtime

AA Offers
To Finance
Water Bill
North Campus
Research Center
May Be At Stake
By WILLIAM HANEY
Ann Arbor City Council took
significant steps yesterday to hold
the interest of Parke, Davis & Co.
in establishing a $10,000,000 midi-
cal-pharmaceutical research lab-
oratory on North Campus.
The council decided to pay
Parke, Davis' share of the water
installation costs if such action
was necessary to insure the com-
pany's locating at North Campus.
"Parke, Davis is getting the im-
pression, unfortunately, that we
don't want to do anything to help
them locate here, and this is bad,"
Ann Arbor Mayor William E.
Brown, Jr. said in explaining the
purpose for the special meeting of
the council.
Difficulties have arisen in dis-
cussions over how a $900,000 bill
for water facilities would be split
up among the University, which
owns the land, Parke, Davis and
the city, which is in charge of sew-
,age and water facilities for the
land,
Make Liberal Offer
Though initial feeling of the
Council was merely to make a
"fair estimate" to Parke, Davis on
what their share of the expense
would be, they decided to make a
more liberal offer when Council-
man Arthur P. Moore said the city
"would lose Parke, Davis com-
,pletely as a customer unless we
do even more than our share to
get them established here."
Mayor Brown indicated the Uni-
versity would be willing to pay
their own share because "Where
is the University five years from
today if Parke, Davis or other
similar companies don't go to
North Campus? The University
needs expansion and don't they
need these companies for expan-
sion?"
University requirements for
water at North Campus would
reach a maximum of eight million
gallons per day according to Uni-
versity engineers. On the basis of
this figure the ctiy council origi-
nally estimated the University.
would pay 75 per cent of the $900,-
000 water installation bill.
Willing to Pay $60,000
The University is willing to pay
only $60,000 to $100,000, accord
ing to city officials.
City Administrator Guy Larco
and Mayor Brown formulated a
resolution which will be presented
to the University today and to
Parke, Davis later this week.
The resolution states:
"Resolved: that the City of Ann
Arbor intends to develop the util-
ities in the North Camius area so
that any qualified research insti-
tution that desires to locate in
that area will have adequate water
and sewage facilities and that the
cost of providing facilities for
these research institutions will be
initially borne by the City of Ann
Arbor; the city to be reimbursed
by a charge to be agreed upon
plus the normal rate, it being the
intent of this Council to encour-
age this research development
even if the City has to bear some
portion of the utilities cost with-
out reimbursement."
