CENTRAL MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY, MOUNT PLEASANT, MICHIGAN
Fri., Sept. 23, 1966
Board Release Appalls Hayes
Co-Signing Settles
Ownership Dispute
The University and the State
of Michigan have reached an
agreement over ownership of
lands of Title I projects using
federal aid.
Norvall C. Bovee, vice president of business and finance,
told the Board of Trustees
Wednesday the agreement
calls for a representative of the
Board and the State Budget
Director to co-sign title ownerships.
The dispute arose as to who
should own lands used for the
construction of university
buildings using federal financial aid.
The Board passed a resolution accepting the agreement
to co-sign the titles and named
treasurer Bovee as the University representative to sign for
the school.
State Budget Director Glen
Allen will be the other signer
of the titles. Bovee said that
land to be used in the 20-year
Master Plan is in various
stages of being acquired.
Bids for the next scheduled
set of dormitories were to be
opened today.

20,000 Students by 1985
Master Plan Gains Acceptance
The Board of Trustees accepted the master plan for
Central, 1985, presented by
Daverman Associates, Inc., at
their meeting Wednesday.
The plan is divided into four
five-year plans and will cost
$140-150 million at today's
construction costs.
Vice president Norvall C.
Bovee said the proposed figures are not outlandish for
Michigan's economic base.
Daverman Associates stressed that the 1985 completed
project is not ironclad and
must remain flexible enough
to adjust to any unforeseen
problems that may arise with
Central's expansion.
Bonds Will Finance
From 60 to 70 per cent of
the money needed will be raised by sale of bonds. The remaining    money     will    come
from alumni contribution, legislative allocation and federal
assistance.
The Master Plan will be presented to the legislature in
four installments. The first
phase has been accepted and
construction is already underway.
The first phase will carry
through 1970 when enrollment
is anticipated at slightly more
than 12,200 students.
Phase I is really an extension of the present construction. Buildings already under
construction, including Pearce,
are considered existing.
Additional buildings proposed include a physical education building, social science
building and a speech and
drama building .

Huxley's Ineligibility
Announced By Dean
by MARSHALL MATLOCK
Life Managing Editor
Paul Huxley was notified
this morning that he is no
longer vice president of the
student body.
Huxley, however, contends
that he is still vice president
until he sends a letter of resignation to the president of the
student body or until Student
Judiciary declares the office
vacated.
The final move was made
this morning by'Glenn L. Starner, chairman of the Student
Social Activities Committee,
after the dean of student's office notified   persons   during
the summer that they were no
longer eligible to hold an office at Central.
Starner noted that only two
students have sent in letters of
resignation.
Huxley, a Roseville sophomore, justifies his stand by
contending that he would not
be on academic probation had
it not been for a mistake made
by an instructor in the psychology department.
Huxley said that he received
an incomplete in one .course
and had one semester to make
it up.

student apartments, dormitories and a library.
Plans are also underway for
the development of a ring-
road which would reroute
some of the traffic now on
Washington St. south of Preston and would develop more
parking space in the area at
the railroad.
Phase II is to be a major
phase in the development of
Central. At the end of the
phase, enrollment will be close
to 16,000 students.
Special buildings for physical education, commerce, science and music will be constructed during this time,
The present library, remodeled, will become the art
building.
Along with residence Halls,
a health ' center, auditorium
and maintenance building will
be included in the second part
of the four series development.
Finally, a New Stadium
Stadium construction and a
nine-hole golf course are also
on the agenda.
In addition to the library
and department buildings for
education, psychology and economics will highlight the third
phase.
It is during this time that
science may expand into Anspach or Pearce Hall.
At the end of Phase IV it is
assumed that there will be
20,000 students on campus.
In the final phases—Phase
4—a physical education building, an applied arts building
and an English and language
building will be added to the
physical plant.
Dormitories, additional
parking lots and a parking
ramp round out the building
plans for this period.

Trustees Claim AAUP
Charges Are Unfounded
by NEIL HOPP
Life Editor in Chief
James E. Hayes, president of the local chapter of the American Association of University Professors, Wednesday fired a
sharp denunciation at a press release accompanying a resolution
passed by the Board of Trustees. The resolution confirmed a
settlement between the University and the AAUP in a faculty
dispute.
The release, given out following passage of the resolution
by a 3-2 vote, stated "The Central Michigan University Board of
Trustees in receipt today (Wednesday) of an offer of settlement
from Mr. Theodore Sachs, Counsel for the CMU chapter of the
American Association of University Professors and the Council
For Academic Freedom, involving professors V. B. Coutant,
P. L. Evett, O. Oppenheimer and C. Westie, regarding charges
of alleged unfair labor practices, approved the adoption of a
resolution terminating the disagreement.
"The Board feeling that the charges are without foundation
and of nuisance value only, expressed the opinion that lengthy
litigation would not be in the best'interests of the University and
would result in unnecessary expenses.
"The terms of the agreement provide that professors Coutant, Oppenheimer, Westie and Evett receive only one-half of
the salary increase for the year 1965-66 and professors Westie
and Evett be placed on the salary schedule for the year 1966-67.
Professors Coutant and Oppenheimer are no longer employed
at the University."
AAUP 'ADMITS NO ERROR'
Hayes told Life Wednesday evening, "I am appalled by the
press release issued by the Central Michigan University Board
of Trustees which accompanied their vote of acceptance of termination of the disagreement.
"It may be in bad faith, it certainly lacks conformity with
the formal agreement. A settlement of this kind is accompanied
with disclaimers in which neither party admits error. Thus, the
formal agreement, not the press release, included clear indication that we admit no error in our complaint against the University. We had bargained in what we had believed to be good faith.
We were quite sure that a public hearing would not have been
in the best interests of the University because our complaints
were real and warranted. We had hoped that the negotiated
agreement could begin a new era of fruitful relationship between
and among faculty, administration and the Board of Trustees in
service to the people of the state.
