Thursday, Decemb er 8, 1966 THE DAILY TAR HEEL Page 3 Most For Defense Government Research. Cost WASHINGTON (UPI) -The United States government to day spends more money on, scientific research and devel opment (R & D) than most other major countries of t h e tTnni? m their entire na tional budgets. Much of this money goes to America s colleges and univer sities with UNC and the Re share TriangIe takin2 a lar8e In the fiscal year 1964-5 the government poured $16.5 bil lion into research and develop ment of a total $27 billion that went into R & D in this coun try, including industry's share. So accepted has this form of government activity and ex penditure become in recent times it is surprising to think that as recently as 10 years ago only about $3 billion an nually was being spent by the government in this area. And before that much less. Washington's plunge into R & D began in World War II, when the country needed weap ons and other equipment in a hurry, and in the late 1950s it burgeoned with a vengeance. The result is that today the U. S. Government spends around 60 per cent of the bil lions lavished on research and development in the nation. The first governmenUagen cy to begin spending in a big way on science was the De partment of Defense. In the late 1950s, huge sums were required to develop mis siles, new planes, nuclear sub marines and intricate elec tronic gear. In the 10 years be tween 1954 and 1964, its R & D expenditures quadrupled from $2 billion to almost $8 billion a year. Since 1964, military R&D spending has tapered off, an indication that the last rearma ment phase is completed and and that no radically new wea pons are about to be introduc ed, at least for the next few years.

Y. 1 0OI T EIGHT 11 VMS BE6TMOVEN h and development was still ris ing, the government entered another area of research which required more and more money year after year space. In 1964-65, the National Aero nautics and Space Administra tion financed research and de velopment to the costs of $5.7 billion. Third among the big govern ment spenders was the Ato mic Energy Commission with $1.7 billion. Fourth was the Department of Health, Education and Wel fare with just over $1 billion. Other agencies which spent more than $100 million a year apiece included the National Science Foundation, the De partment of Agriculture, and the Department of the Inter ior. At the peak of World War II, funds for research and de velopment never exceeded 2 per cent of all federal expenditures. Approximately one per cent fit corporations which were set of federal obligations for re- up for this specific purpose, search and development is Themost widely known of these spent by foreign "performers" is the Rand Corporation for th2 U. S. government.

CORPORATIONS Among the most interesting performers of research and de velopment work for the U. S. By 1960, they had grown to g0vernment are the non . pro 10 per cent of the federal to tal, until today R&D claims 15 per cent of the budget. In dications are that the prsent level will be maintained for the next few years. While the Defense Depart ment in recent years was and still is the 'biggest R& D spenT der, actually less than half of the $16.5 billion devoted to sci ence in the last fiscaLyear was spent on weapons. More than $2 billion of the total was used for basic re search in such fields as medi cine, biology, agriculture, psy chology, physics, astronomy, atmosphereic sciences, chemis try and oceanography. Today, the Air Force is still the principal sponsor, but Rand also performs work for the Atomic Energy Commission, the Space Administration and the National institutes of Health. The government seems hap py with this relationship. In 1963, Defense Secretary Rob ert S. McNamara stated that "The larger non - profit cor porations, of which Rand is the most notable, contribute immensely to the success of the Defense Department." Joyner And Connor Quietly Change Sex SMALL PART Only a small part about 14 per cent of the total re search and development work is conducted by the govern ment itself. The remainder is By BERNIE BAUGUESS Special To The DTH While controversy continues, arrangements are quietly be ing made to move some 330 women students into the for mer make dorms of. Joyner and Connor. The biggest problem, quipped UNC's Housing Direc tor James Wadsworth, is "the usual small changes in plumb ing." But the work, he ad mitted, is a bit more complex than that, although not as much as many people would suspect.

First floor changes will de crease the number of women who can live in the dorms as compared with the number of The big change in the first floor will be the conversion of center rooms into a hostess suite. The lobby and parlor facilities will be enlarged, thus cutting down on the num ber of first floor rooms. The new dorms may not have the luxury of Cobb or Spencer, but Wadsworth said the same changes were made in Winston and "the girls seem real happy with it." Although the boys will be displaced, the opening of the 10 story James dormitory on South Campus will enable an increase of approximate ly 1,000 new students next year. The women are asking for a multitude of frills for the new dorms, many of which they probably won't get.

Besides the increased par lor spaces,, the best news for the girls is that many new phones will be added. The student-to-telephone ratio on campus is now about 60 stu dents to every phone in the dorms. When the girls move in, the ratio will be cut to about one telephone for every 30 girls. House telephones will also be added. An ironing room and a stu dy room will either be placed on every floor or every alter nate floor for the girls. Wash ers and dryers will be in cluded in the basements of the buildings. And although neither Wads worth nor Perry said so, en lightened boys may be as sured that the Dean of Wom en's Office will have the locks changed on all the doors. Jtttt .Student Rates (WI.D.
