GOP LETS ;DUCATION DOWN See Page 4 L Sixty-Seven Years of Editorial Freedom LXVII, No. 145, ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, APRIL 25, 1958 FIVE CENTS SIXTEEN P) To Cut Outstate Education By DAVID TARR The Legislature's call for aus- terity spending in state institu- tions next year will require the University to sharply curtail some areas of its off-campus education- al program. Some students will be turned away from the Flint College, the Dearborn Center will be delayed at least a year and possibly long- er in opening. and extension pro- grams will be reduced. This situation is emerging in the aftermath of the Legislature's million dollar reduction in the Universty's 1958-59 operating budget last week, Dean of State- Wide Education Harold M. Dorr said yesterday.y Lump Sm Granted But all the curtailments are not yet definite; possible areas for reduction of activities are under study. .,The University made individual' requests for funds to operate ts outtate educational facilities. SThe Legislature chose to allot a lump- sum of $30 million for all operations which the University could divide as it wished. Dorr said he would n t urge taking money from operations at Ann Arbor to get the Dearborn Center started or to operate any of the other University outstate divisions. "There Is no sense in trying to open Dearborn unless we have enough money to do it properly" he explained . Gift from Ford Thie;Center will be b uit on Fair- Lane, the formner estate of Henry Ford.aThe land and $6.5 million was given to the University by -Ford Motor Company in 1956. It was scheduled to open in the fall of 1959. Dorr and other Uni- versity official now say it will be 'delayed at least until 196. ,Adrequest of $282,00 for Dear- born operations was made in or- der to acquire an administrative staff, begin developing a library, USAF Stops For Missile CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (P)- Informed sources said last night the second stage of the rocket which hurled a mystery nose cone into space Wednesday failed to ignite. The Air Force, which has aban- 4oned its attempt to recover the cone, had no comment on the reports. Meanwhile, the Navy 'worked here to prepare for launching the last of its Vanguard satellite test vehicles, this one containing for the first time a 20-inch, 21.5- pound sphere. Schedule Secret The Navy launching schedule is secret. The test series, initially not designed to carry satellites, will be followed by, some seven regular Vanguard satellite launchings. In a one-sentence news release the Air Force here said it "con- firmedreports that efforts to re- cover the nose cone of the Thor- Able missile launched Wednesday provide for maintenance and ac- quire a faculty. Dorr said reductions in the Uni- versity's operations must come where they -will hurt the total ap- propriation the least. "Since Dearborn does not yet have staff, students or program, this is the most obvious area to push back." Building Goes Ahead Construction of the four Uni- versity buildings at Fair Lane will go ahead on schedule and be com- pleted by the fall of 1959. Dorr said that should Dear- born's opening be long delayed, a smaller appropriation than was requested this year might permit opening one or two of the three currently planned educational units. He was not sure which one it might be. The three are mechani- cal and industrial engineering, business administration and lib- eral arts. Similar legislative cuts in ap- propriations in the future may hold up the opening indefinitely, University officials- say. MSU Problem Similar "If the legislature did this over a period of years we would have to conclude it wasn't interested in expanding higher education faci- lities. This would cast grave' -a s Comrittee, Chairmen doubts on the future of branch schools," Dorr said. Another highly placed admin- istrator echoed Dorr's sentiments. It has been reported that Mich- igan State University has been required to hold up the opening of its branch in Oakland County, outside Detroit, a year until 1960 because of the reductions in its 1958-59 operating budget. Flint College, a junior and senior level school now completing its second year of operations, may accept more students in two of its three instructional areas but will have to turn away many appli- cants for study in elementary and high school education, Dorr said. Large Growth Prevented A 30 per cent growth in the college was expected next fall but Dorr said this now appears im- possible. The addition of two staff members to handle the increase in the education instruction can- not be arranged with the present budget, he explained. "However, business administra- tion and liberal arts areas can be slightly enlarged .without jeopar- dizing the standard University faculty-student ratio of one to 13," Dorr said. Fewer offerings to fewer stu- dents at the University's outstate graduate study centers will prob- ably result from the budget cuts, Dorr said. This extension program, with offices in Detroit, Grand Rapids, Flint, Saginaw and Battle Creek, is in effect, an extension of the. Rackham School of Graduate' Stu- dies. Students enrolled in the pro- gram. are earning credit towards a graduate degree. "Aside from knowing that cur- tailment of activity in this area is necessary, no decisions have been made yet. However, we do not plan to close any graduate center extension offices," he said. "However, should the pattern of reduced budgets repeat itself in the future it seems inevitable some offices would have to be abandoned," he added. Fintish Near For Rebels HAVANA (A)-Rebel leader Fidel Castro, clinging desperately to his hope of overthrowing President Fulgencio Batista, now faces de- spair in guerrilla ranks and de- feat on all sides. Dozens of his followers were lay- ing down their arms and surren- dering. Guerrillas in the mountains and roving rebel bands in the lowlands blamed each other for the failure' of armed attacks. Castro admits he desperately needs more arms and ammuni- tion, but there is little chance of getting either.i Jolinson, Knowlar d Spa: On Ie, s Labor Proposal ba1y-Robert Kanner SCOTT NEARING .. socialism rising Donna NWickham, '59, Ron Gregg, '60, Roberta Maier, '59, and Student Government Council Administrative Vice-President Jo Hardee,, '60, were named to the Council's Interviewingand Nomi- nating Committee at Wednesday's meeting.

At the same time Scott Nearing, fired from the universities of Pen- nsylvania and Toledo arid later' from the Community Party, fore- cast the inevitable collapse of this "tottering old world" of the West. America is bossed by an oligar- chy of "irresponsible" industrial leaders, Nearing said. It is only a' matter of time, he con;laded, until socialism evolves. Capitalism Collapsing "The juice is being squeezed out of capitalism," he said, "and soon the rind will be thrown away." The Soviet Union of today is "stable and secure," he claimed. Nearing explained the com- munist economy as one of "plan- ned socialism," where the aim is for every person to "receive ac- cording to his needs." « Red Budget Balanced The soviet budget for 1958 is "comfortably balanced," he con- tinued. The state will soon derive its entire income from production, he said, and the "annoying ap- paratus of taxation" will disap- pear. - He also noted a great advance in free public education, not only scientifically but culturally. Above all, Nearing said, there is, an air of confidence among the people, both in the USSR and in China. The latter nation has also made marvelous advances econom- ically and culturally, Nearing said. The youth of both nations is very "well-adjusted," he declared. Russian Industry Grows In 40 years Russia has become second only to the United States as an industrial power, Nearing said. He added that it took the United States a century to achieve similar industrial power. Southeast Asian countries are turning more' and more, to the socialist line, he said. The steady rise of 'the socialist star has been accompanied by a downturn in Western fortunes, he said. Britain and France have already become "satellites" and only the United States remains to fall, he predicted. Jacob Notes S elf-Concern On Campus By THOMAS TURNER A German student once told him the American college campuses seemed "seedbeds of Fascism," the author of the Jacob report said yesterday. Speaking in a political science department lecture, Prof. Philip Jacob of the University of Penn- sylvania said higher education is not discharging its obligation to "liberate" students. And although a few colleges stimulate students the, pattern of homogeneity de- scribed in his books is fairly well set, he continued. Prof. Jacob said the pivot of this composite student personality is self-centeredness, the "aggres-' sive, fullblown pursuit of material wealth." A corollary of this 'char- acteristic is disinterest in local responsibility, he noted. Few Students 'Lead' Thus, according to Prof. Jacob, an extremely thin line of leader- ship supports student activity on most campuses," with the support of student leader morale a major problem for college administrtors. Paradoxically, Prof. Jacob con- tinued, this extreme self-centered- ness coexists with "and works through conformity. "There is a set of beliefs the well-eduated- college man or woman will ac- cept," he declared. In some ways this conformity is admirable, Prof. Jacob conceded, since for example it has increased tolerance. He emphasized he didn't mean "invite home to dinner" tolerance but the sort which per- mits ease of movement. Cites 'Irrationality' But the personality of the Amer- ican college student is "essentially irrational," according, to Prof. Jacobs. There is a "kind of two- worldism" detachment of the 'classroom from the outside world, he explained. Prof. Jacob illustrated this point from his teaching experience. "In See STUDENT, page 2 U' Instructor Gets Fulbright Grant in Ethics Jordan H. Sobell, a teaching fellow in the philosophy depart- ment,.won a Fulbright scholarship yesterday. He plans to go to Oxford Uni- versity next year where he will consult with professors there and also at the universities of London, Glascow, Cambridge and Leeds on his thesis subject, "Generalization Arguments in Ethics." He said the problem is, "Since if everyone did that, undesirable consequences would follow, you ought not to do it." Sobell has been at the University for three years, and has taught Ethics and Philosophy 31. Two representatives walked out of an Inter-House Council meeting last night, effectively killing an IHC motion on integration. After having passed with only one dissenting vote, the motion had to be disallowed when it was pointed out that there was no quorum. The motion asked IHC's Integration Committee "to study appli- cation forms and make recommendations towards a more' positive policyon expressions of preferences on the basis of race, religion or national origin." 'Needed Sleep' Joseph Burtka, '60, and Richard Abrams, '60, were the two'mem- bers who left the meeting. Abrams,_called after the meeting had ended at 10 :30p.m. yesterday, ex- plained that he left because he needed sleep. Blumn Calls Earlier in the meeting, Abrams had pointed out that if he left, the meeting would be without a quorum. The motion came after almost an hour's debate on separ- ate integration proposals by the d Human Relations Board of Stu- dent Government Council and the9 Integration Committee.
