SMITH During the past decade, Michigan's system of higher education faced and conquered the greatest obstacle in its for history—the providing of educational opportunities twice as many students as it had ever before accommodated. But the brief respite which the colleges and universities are now enjoying is to be short indeed. Steeper Mountain Ahead Ahead is a mountain more steep and rocky than the one at their backs. Again, the state's college are going to be asked to more than double their capacities by 1970. And this is not a problem unique to Michigan. The U. S. Office of Education, for example, predicts an increase in the number of college students from 2,000,000 to 3,500,000 between 1952 and 1969. Michigan's projected enrollments are based primarily on the tremendous in crease in the number of births each year and a steady rise in the percentage of the college-age population who attend col lege. Births At Ail-Time High Michigan's births reached an all-time high of 175,000 in 1952, more than double the 1932-35 average of 84,000. With ap propriate adjustments for mortality, mi gration and other factors, the college- age population (18-21 years of age) will rise from 353,000 in 1950 to an estimated 598,000 in 1970. The percentage of the college-age pop ulation which will attend college will rise from a veteran-less 21.8 per cent in 1950 to 32 per cent in 1970. If this seems un usually optimistic, one should remember that Michigan was in 18th place in 1950, when five other states were sending over 30 per cent of their 18-21 year olds to college. Accordingly, the resident head-count enrollment in all Michigan colleges and universities from 94,068 in 1952 to 119,834 in 1960 and 199,010 in 1970. is expected to rise MSC's Future Enrollment Publicly-supported institutions, which have always carried about three-fourths of the total educational load, will have to shoulder an even larger share. This means, therefore, the public uni that versities will find their enrollments in- Here are some startling facts about higher education which every college alumnus should know. This article is a condensation of a book let published by the M.S.C. Depart ment of Information Services for the Michigan Council of State Col lege Presidents.

All factors remaining constant, this will mean an estimated increase in enroll ment for Michigan State College from the present 13,000 to 17,500 in 1960, 25,000 in 1965 and over 30,000 students in 1970. additional To do an adequate job of educating these students, Michigan's publicly-supported colleges and universi ties will need substantially more money, both for operations and for new build ings. And, as in the past, most of these funds will have to come in the form of appropriations from the Michigan Legis lature. What Will It Cost? In 1952, the state-supported colleges (excluding Wayne University and the community colleges) received 36.5 million dollars, or approximately $860 for every student enrolled. Assuming that this is (and most college an adequate figure administrators would not so agree), these colleges will require 48 million dollars in 1960 and 82 million dollars in 1970, with the 1952 dollar as a standard. In respect to facilities, the same gen eral need exists. The Council of State College Presidents conservatively esti mates that $176,000,000 worth of class room and laboratory buildings must be constructed by 1970 in order to take care of the 88,000 increase in students. Should Enrollments Be Restricted? There are those who suggest that the lessen colleges and universities could their "burdens" by being more restrictive in their acceptance of students. the entrance requirements, This would mean a substantial raising thereby of denying college opportunities to thous ands of capable young people; or a substantial raising of the tuition costs, thereby denying college opportunities to children from families of modest finan cial means. Both Public Educators Say "No" reject suggestions we must emphatically because they represent a complete betrayal of the philosophy of public education. Our public colleges and universities have long enjoyed the cherished obliga tion of educating America's youth—as many as possible—for better living in our democratic society. And they accept it as their rightful role in an expanding and prospering United States. There is no doubt that the people of Michigan will satisfy reasonable needs of their colleges and universities in fulfilling this task. the A P R IL 1 5, 1 9 53 . . .. 5 AFFAIRS OF STATE By DON ELLIS, '53 Pollari, Ironwood; and Carol Schatz, Garden City, Mich.

I promised that if we were admitted we would continue to do everything possible to merit the confidence of the other members and would make any suggested modifications in our athletic procedures that might be required them into complete harmony with Conference regulations.

I'm sure those who have judged us will not be aggrieved if we state in ac cepting probationary status that we do not thereby agree we have been judged fairly. I have been asked by The RECORD editors to explain this whole matter to the alumni. Let's begin at the begin ning. Along in the fall of 1951 the Confer ence Commissioner learned about the ac tivities of a corporation known as the Spartan Foundation with headquarters in Lansing. This was brought to the attention of College authorities and our cooperation was requested in bringing to light all possible information regard ing the Foundation's operations, its offi cers, membership, financial transactions and its impact on the College's athletic program. The College provided every possible secure cooperation but was unable detailed information on all disburse ments satisfactory to the Commissioner. It did, however, succeed in getting an the the agreement with trustees of to through Foundation to route all funds used for student aid in the future the regular College channels. This did not satisfy the Commissioner. At his further suggestion and with the cooperation of College authorities an agreement was reached whereby the Foundation was dis solved and turned all of its assets—some $33,500—over to the College. This still was not satisfactory to the Commissioner. His one remaining re quest was that we secure the complete records of the Spartan Foundation's dis bursements from the date of its incor poration. This we were unable to do even though we used every method with in our authority. When it was decided that this infor mation would not be available, the Com missioner placed M.S.C. on probation May 27, 1952, and informed President Hannah to this effect in a telegram. Since this decision had been arrived at without the formality of a hearing, which is provided for under Conference regulations, the College requested and was granted a hearing on June 4. The hearing provided opportunity for testimony by many members of the Col lege staff and by several members of the Spartan Foundation. But there was no testimony produced to show that any the College administrative member of staff knew anything about the activities of the Spartan Foundation. Neither did the testimony produce any evidence to show that funds had been used to aid athletes in any manner contrary to West ern Conference regulations. But there still remained unresolved the Commis sioner's demand for a full accounting of the Foundation's finances. For eight months after the hearing, though insisted the College repeatedly that the case be closed, there was no word of what action would now be taken as a result of the hearing. But on Feb ruary 5, 1953, in a long letter from the Commissioner, the College was again in formed that it would be put on proba tion for one year. Believing the proposed penalty unjust and not within the defined powers of the Commissioner, the College was again in- appeal the action for a decision by the appeal board consisting of all Big 10 faculty appeal representatives. This was granted and was presented in Chi cago February 22. The decision of the faculty representatives was to deny the appeal which the Commissioner's action. in effect confirmed the probation The terms of require that during this year (and presumably thereafter) there be complete compliance with Rule 7 (aid to athletes) of the In tercollegiate Conference to the satisfac tion of the Commissioner; that Michigan State College shall secure, or exhaust every effort to secure, detailed and com- of disbursements finan plete information concerning all Spartan the cial Foundation; and that Michigan State College and its officials shall render every possible assistance the examination and inspection of the operations of other Michigan State alumni clubs or clubs operating on behalf of M.S.C. in It that is further the Com stated missioner expects to review the status of Michigan State College periodically during the probationary period the hope that he may be satisfied that the purposes and conditions of the probation are being fulfilled and that the proba tion can be terminated prior to the expi ration of the year. in All of this we accept. We neither have nor want an alternative. Our only concern now is that in the demand for the Spartan Foundation's re port we are called upon to accomplish the impossible. financial The Box Score them their Big 10 seasons Six Michigan State winter sports in teams closed March, with none of finishing lower than fifth in conference standings.
