If you are ever in doubt about whether to bring a
traveling iron with you to Europe, it's useful to know
that an iron can'double as a stove.
Cooking with an iron may seem bizarre, but several
students who have spent their junior year abroad confess
that they often revert to the iron method when they
don't have a stove and don't want to buy a burner; or
when they dislike standing in line for a meal.
This is an example of the type of new discoveries
made by students who participate in the junior year
abroad program. Under 'the direction of the literary
college, study abroad can be taken through University
centers in Aix-en-Provence, France, and in Freiburg,
Germany.
While enrolled in University programs in France and
Germany, a student receives residence credit for his work
abroad. Course election is closely supervised by the Uni-
versity staff abroad and the Ann Arbor office.
Under the co-sponsorship of the University and the
University of Wisconsin, the French junior year abroad
program was born in September, 1962. The German pro-
gram, inaugurated in 1964, is co-sponsored by the Univer-
sity, Wayne State University, the University of Wisconsin,
and Michigan State University.
The program in Aix-en-Provence is directly associated
with the University of Aix-Marseille, and it provides
for all courses of study except the sciences. Dean James H.
Robertson, director of the Residential College and of
both programs, explained, "We felt the admission criteria,
should be reasonably demanding in order to attract top
students with good competence in French and an ability

and promise to learn more, since all instruction is in
French."
To prepare the juniors for the opening of the regular
university courses in late October, a preliminary session
is held in Aix in September. It consists of six weeks of
intensive study of the French language.
During this preliminary session, the Program Direc-
tor, Prof. Guy Mermier of the University French depart-
ment advises each student on which courses at Aix will
best suit his individual interests and abilities. The French
junior year abroad program concludes around June 15.
"One important thing to remember is that French
students do not mix studies and recreation," said Barbara
Nelson, '66. "When they study, they really study.
"However, when they go out they don't talk about
studies and don't like others to do so either. Life at a
French university can be a very rewarding experience if
a certain amount of planning is done, and if the foreign
student accepts the French educational system for what
it is-rather than constantly comparing it to American
universities."
"One of the best things that can happen during the
year is the sudden realization that your French friends
have stopped looking at you as Americans whom they
treat nicely out of curtesy, but as friends whom they trust
and whose opinions they truly respect," confided Penny
Hommel, 66.
Many students returning from last year's Freiburg
program agreed that a year at a German university is
markedly different from the American experience. The
German university student is given much more freedom,

for there is not nearly as much
this country.

supervision there as in

"German students are very aware, very intellectually
stimulating. They are the cream of the nation since only
about five per cent of the German population ever gets
to the university level," explained Judith Operhall, '66.
Most students agreed that the people were friendly,
the opportunities for travel were readily available and the
educational experience was incomparable.
"But all was not a bed of roses," cautioned Sally
Shannon, '66. "Especially in the beginning it becomes
very frustrating not to be able to understand what people
are saying to you.
"And since all your courses are in German, you have
to spend more time studying than the average German
student," she added.
"For a non-German major it can present a great
many complications unless you have a strong desire to
learn German," said Robert Walker, '66.
Students who have studied abroad recommend the
programs highly, but also cite disadvantages. Many
warned students against being over-optimistic about their
reception in foreign countries. Most returning students
recommend making friends with the .natives and not
associating continually with other Americans.
Educators and students have both agreed that the
University French and German junior year abroad pro-
grams serve a dual purpose: the students receive an
education as well as some cultural contact in a foreign
country. The academic experience of studying abroad
and the personal experience of international living con-
tribute to the student's cultural and social development.

legConsideration of a literary col-

ing classified research was post-
poned yesterday until the Janu-
ary faculty meeting.
The original resolution, which
was to have been presented to
the Regents asked the University
to approve no more contracts
restricting publication of results.
It was also condemned classified
research in general arguing that
"the potential benefits of scholar-
ship" were endanged by secrecy.
A substitute resolution asking
the literary college faculty to take '
a stand on five more specific pro-
posals on classified research was
also tabled.
The second resolution was pre-
sented in response to faculty com-
plaints that the first resolutionj

could be interpreted as rivalry

To Students on SRC
By LUCY KENNEDY
The Faculty Assembly yesterday
approved a Student Relations
Committee report calling for stu-
dent responsibility in creating con-
duct rules and sent the report to
the Regents for consideration at
their Nov. 17 meeting.
SRC chairman Prof. Leonard
Greebaum of the Engineering Col-
lege said he felt the Assembly
approval showed "great faculty
willingness to support responsible
student government."
The report favored SGC's dele-
gation of non-academic discipline

the Regents.
Assembly at yesterday's meeting
also approved a system of com-
mittee organization and proced-
ures which gives the four student
members of SRC a voting mem-
bership on the committee thus
granting them equal standing with
its faculty members.
The SRC report, which Assem-
bly president Prof. Frank Ken-
nedy of the Law School indicated
was' approved by a "substantial
majority" of members present, was
drafted in response to SGC's re-
cent change in the booklet "Uni-
versity Regulations." The SGC ac-
tion exempts students from dis-
ciplinary action by any student
judiciary for any non-academic
conduct rules not created by stu-
dents.
See TEXT, Page 2
The motion presented to the
faculty said the University had'the
responsibility to develop "work-
able guidelines" concerning general
student conduct and that these
guidelines "should not be consid-
ered .as rules; except that such
conduct considered intolerable to
the educational function of the
University community should be
subject to appropriate discipline."
The SRC reported concepts to
be considered such as:

"We found that we could save
