Newly-elected USBG President Aubin Hill said he believes the failure of the administration to grant an 11 per cent salary increase to the faculty will have an adverse effect on the quality and dependability of education recei ved at UM
“There is going to be a very dissatisfied faculty which will be shown by their attitude in (he classroom," Mill said. “Those who do not have an overbearing commitment to academics will be lacadaisical and might not even come to classes.”
Concerning rumors that UM might become a state university to help cope with the current financial troubles. Hill does not discount the possibility and said he is "behind any-

President Henry King Stanford will tell a meeting of the full faculty today that their request for an 11 per cent salary increase has been rejected.
The meeting was scheduled when several senior faculty members learned in advance that their request had been denied.
The Faculty Senate Budget Committee had recommended to the administration that a seven per cent cost of living raise and a four per cent merit increase be put into ef-
fect next fall.
At a meeting of the Board of Trustees on Wednesday, Stanford said, "In order for this to be done, we'd have to have a deficit budget next year.”
Stanford told the Trustees that next year’s budget would be cut $1.7 million below the current $62 million budget.
"These cuts,” he said, “mean people will be dismissed from the university."
Last week, the Public Relations Bureau was cut from the budget and many faculty members have expressed fear to the Hurricane that the ad-

Did l ee Harvey Oswald kill President John F. Kennedy ?
Geraldo Rivera, on a recent ABC television network “Goodnight Amero ci" program, presented films and "evidence" condoling the official Warren Commission conclusion.
At UM’s WVUM-FM. Bill Keane, a disc jockey, k want to see all the facts
exposed and he’ll do just that this afternoon at 2 in room S-226C of the Whitten Student Union
“I want to show," Keane said, "that there is enough conflicting evidence to warrant the re-openingof thecase
“I took the time to get considerable evidence from the Warren Commission and it is important for it tocomeout.”
Keane claims disclosing
this information so close after the Watergate scandal would not "cause a trauma" because most people mistrusted the Warren Commission’s report anyway
"Confirming their mistrust would not disrupt the country," Keane said Keane points out several events which he claims indicate the Warren Commission’s conclusion should be looked into.

Trustee John Ring (old the Board that the university has instituted a Job freeze and that "word has gone out to the departments not to replace anybody unless absolutely necessary."
In welcoming newly selected Trustees, Stanford said, "You’ve come at a time fraught with difficulties for higher education in the United States.”
The president said that although UM had total assets of $150 million, the cash flow was inadequate and new sources of income were being investigated.
One way of realizing added revenues, he said, was by raising next fall's tuition. However, this tuition hike is directly related to the disgruntled faculty.
Vice-president for Academic Affairs Carl McKenry said that past tuition increases always were accompanied by raises in faculty salaries. This year, he said, the tuition hike will not provide the funds for increased payrolls
The Trustees approved the Honorary Degrees Committee’s recommendation to award five honararv degrees during commencementexer cises next month

or Th# Hurrlcan* Staff
The faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences voted to approve the new Arts and Sciences requirements proposal Wednesday.
In the largest faculty meeting held this year, the senate passed the proposal by a vote of 105 to 28.
The new Arts and Sciences requirements will take effect immediately, and current students may elect to switch to the new catalogue with the beginning of the first summer session
The proposal accepted by the faculty was essentially the same as that proposed by the A & S working committee, chaired by Professor Shepherd Faber. Two amendments were added to the basic proposal. In the first amendment, the faculty voted to eliminate History as a separate 6 credit requirement under the History-Social Sciences category. Now, History is included among the Social Sciences, and 15 credits are required from among the eight subjects within this category. No more than six credits can be taken from one of these subjects to satisfy the requirement,
Another amendment was attached to (he basic proposal, eliminating a paragraph from foreign languages. The paragraph would have required new students with previous for eign language experience in high school to enroll in specific courses at UM. The new amendment allows students to satisfy the six credit requirement fully or partially by examination. Under this program. a student could either satisfy the require-
