Ask Junior Year Abroad Program
To Expand Learning Opportunities
By THOMAS HAYDEN
The literary college curriculum committee endorsed the principle
i' of a junior year in Europe for University students yesterday, and
recommended its possible implementation here.
To lay groundwork, the curriculum committee also recommended
to the literary college executive committee the creation of a faculty
group to undertake a detailed study of the Junior Year Abroad concept.
The move followed presentation of a report from a joint stud'ent
group which called the "challenging experience" of the Junior Year
a Abroad a "radical departure from the routine of University education,"

Britain's Foreign Secretary Sel-

in the role of conciliator. He sug-
gested that arguments along th
line of the Gromyko-Herter ex-
change would get the conference
nowhere.
Meanwhile the United States
told Russia's Premier Nikita
Khrushchev to stop issuing threats
unless he wants to wreck pros-

talks may ease the German prob-

Bill To Curb
Ike's Spending
WASHINGTON (P) - Four at-
tempts to trim the amount of
money, appropriated directly to
the President and restrict the
ways in which it can be used were
defeated by the House yesterday.
The measures were introduced
by a Republican and a Democrat
and members of both parties
joined in turning them down.
Rep. J. Vaughan Gary (D-Va.),
of the House Appropriations Com-
mittee, led the fight against an
amendment that would require
the President to account for ex-
penditures from the one million
dollar National Defense Emer-
ecy Fund provided him.
"When we get to the point
where we can't trust the Presi-
dent of the United States with a
million dollars then it's time to
get someone else," Gary said.
"You've got to trust somebody."
The defeated amendments were
offered on a $13,338,500 bill fi-
nancing the executive office and
related activities for the coming
fiscal year which starts July 1. It
was tentatively approved by voice
vote but final action was put off
until Wednesday because many
members were absent.

Recommend Establishment
The group recommended estab-
lishment of a faculty committee to
communicate with the offices of
colleges sponsoring similar pro-
grams and to further evaluate a
University program.
Initiation of a junior year in
Europe plan, the student report
noted, represents a "committment
to the need for better understand-
ing of European countries and
world events, and to the value of a
living experience which no amount
of reading can replace.'g
Need for such a program is be-
coming increasingly clear, the re-
port pointed out, suggesting the
University take a "creative step in
this direction."
Compose Group
The student group was composed
of members of the literary college
steering committee, Student Govt
ernment Council, and the literary
college honors steering committee.
Allowing that similar programs
at other American schools are
adequate; the group insisted on the
worth of such a program here.
"Perhaps many students inter-
ested in studying abroad their
junior year. do not pursue the
matter when they find they must
use the program of another Ameri-
can school," the report explained.
Other Programs 'Remote'
"Although accessible," the re-
port continued, "the programs of
other universities seem remote,
and random factors may dissuade
many people from study abroad."
The University "would contrib-
ute to the development of under-
standing and insight" in students,
by broadening their knowledge of
life, culture and problems of
Europe, giving them a chance "to
view American culture and the
problems of international rela-
tions at some objective distance."

the student would receive inten-
sified training in foreign lan-
guage, and would benefit from
working under established Amer-
ican requirements, on the basis of
the American credit system, the
report said.
'Self-Supporting'
The self-supporting conclusion
rests on the assumption that
there would be 50 or more stu-
dents enrolled in the program.
The committee listed "closeness,
mechanical convenience, and pub-
licity of a program on this cam-
put" as variables influencing de-
cisions to study abroad.
A profusion of "unfolding en-
thusiasm coming from the growth
of participation in foreign study"
would eventually bring about solid
support from the program, it was
argued.

lege and Michigan Tech, will car-
ry their problems to the Senate
Appropriations Committee, where
hearings on their appropriations
start today.
All said faculty morale is dip-
ping because of Michigan's cash
troubles, threatened payless pay-
days and bleak prospects for sal-
ary increases next year.
For lack of facilities, some said
they would be forced to turn
away prospective students for the
first time next fall. Only one, Soo
branch of Michigan Tech, re-
ported plenty of room for new
students.
The Governor summoned the
group to his office as a follow-up
to similar meetings last week with
the heads of the University, Mich-
igan State University and Wayne
State University. From their tes-
timony, he expects to draw a
sharper focus of needs of higher
education in fiscal 1959-60.
Spokesmen included Eugene B.
Elliott, president of Eastern
Michigan College; Charles L. Ans-
pach, president of Central Michi-
gan College; J. R. Van Pelt, pres-
ident of Michigan Tech; Edgar L.
Harden, president of Northern
Michigan College; Victor F.
Spathelf, president of Ferris In-
stitute and L. Dale Faunce, vice-
president of Western Michigan
University.
Spathelf said the effect of the
state's financial tangle was "dev-
astating" to his school.
"Here it is almost the first of
June and we don't even know how
much we're going to have next
year," he said. "We can't tell our
staff or prospective staff any-
thing. With all this, we have to

WASHINGTON (P) - The Stars and Stripes fhew at half staff
around the world yesterday in honor of John Foster Dulles.
And tributes from his own country and abroad continued to flow
in for the former Secretary of State, who died of cancer Sunday at
the age of 71.
Pope John XXIII voiced sorrow at Dulles' passing. So did Queen
Elizabeth II of England, who wired Dulles widow: "My husband joins
me in sending our heartfelt sympathy to you and your family in
your great loss."
Tributes Sent
These tributes followed hundreds of others from all parts of the
world - many from diplomats and politicians who had their differ-
ences with Dulles but came to respect him as a dauntless champion
of freedom.
Even some of the Communist leaders who fought Dulles at every
diplomatic turn expressed regret - but only privately - at his
departure from the world scene.
Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gromyko will join the Western
foreign ministers in paying his last respects to Dulles at the funeral
i Washington tomorrow, a So-

Group Plans
Renewal Aid
An offer to financialy aid resi-
dents of the proposed Urban Re-
newal area who lost their homes
as a result of this project was re-
iterated before the Ann Arbor
City Council last night.
Earl Cress, chairman of the
group consisting of fourteen indi-
viduals and one church - which
originally made this offer last No-
vember, told the Council that the
group would put up $36,000 to
subsidize .the difference between
rent costs for the moved families
and their abilities to pay these
rents. This money would last for
"at least" three years, he said.
Under the stipulations of the
proposed Urban Renewal plan, the
Council would supply any neces-
sary funds for an additional two
years.
Cress said that the group would
also provide $30,000 in equity to
be used to help finance the build-
ing of any housing for the dis-
placed families "which the Coun-
cil desired."

The University has no specific
plans for a professorial exchange
program with the Soviet Union,
President Harlan Hatcher report-
ed yesterday.
However, he noted a "growing
conviction" on the part of the
United States and Russia that
professorial exchanges are "bene-
ficial in broadening the areas of
understanding" between the two
nations.
President Hatcher, back from a
six-week junket in the Soviet
Union, said Anastas Mikoyan,
Russian deputy premier, is highly
in favor of American-Russian ex-
changes.
But the inquiry concerned onlyj
principle, President Hatcher said.
"We have no specific proposals,"
nor was the University particular-
ly involved, he added.
Discussions the University pres-
ident held with Soviet officials
centered around an extension of
exchange programs to fields other,
than science. Exchanges of Amer-
ican and Soviet scientific delega-
tions have been relatively com-
mon in the past, he noted.
Also considered was the direct
exchange of individual scholars
between institutions.1
One barrier the U n i v e r s i t y
would have to overcome if it were
to inaugurate such a program,
President Hatcher pointed out,
would be the "closed area" clamp-
down on Ann Arbor which bars'
Russian visitors.
Ann Arbor would either have to
be taken off the closed area list,
or given special approval by the
State Department, PresidentI
Hatcher said.
Tells of Death
Tass, the Soviet news agency,
eported his death without com-
ment in a 32-word dispatch. The
East German news agency said
Dulles was "linked inseparably
with the creation of a new war
danger in Europe."
But at Geneva, at a foreign
ministers' conference Dulles had
hoped to attend, a United States
spokesman reported Soviet For-
eign Minister Gromyko and his
East German counterpart, Lothar
Bolz, expressed condolences and
sympathy at Dulles' death.
This was at a closed-door ses-
sion. Gromyko previously had
helped work out arrangements for
recessing the conference so the
Western foreign ministers can at-
tend Dulles' funeral.
West Germany's 83-year-old
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer will
fly here today for the final rites.
To Hold Funeral
There will be an official funer-
al - something just a little lessI
ceremonious than state funerals
which are usually reserved for
Presidents and Vice-Presidents.
Dulles' body will. lie in repose
at Washington National Cathe-
dral for 24 hours before the serv-
ice at 2 p.m. tomorrow. Burial will
follow in Arlington National
Cemetery, with Dulles' warm
friend President Dwight D. Eisen-
hower among the mourners.

Student Tells of Russian Estonia
By JEAN HARTWIG
Rjurik Golubjatnikov, Grad.,
o n c e t r a v e 11 e d in a cattlecar
crowded with 83 other people for
three days without water.
He was herded by a company of
Russian soldiers disguised as
members of a dancing troupe with
more than six million of his
neighbors into ships and trains to
deport them to Siberia. He has
seen the Russians devastate his
native country; his father is
buried somewhere in Siberia. He
has survived both a Russian and
a German prison camp.
As an eye witness to the Soviet
system, Golubjatnikov, who came
to the United States from Estonia
nine years ago, thinks University
President Harlan Hatcher got
some slightly mistaken impres-
"saddest result" of the Soviet
regime.
He cited Estonia's oldest insti-
tution, the University of Tartu,
founded during Swedish rule in
1632. '
"Most of the Estonian faculty
is now replaced by Russians. They
are not only using their language
for teaching purposes," he said,
but are now only using Russian
letters instead of the Latin alpha-
bet on which native Estonian is
based.
They claim it is "more relaxing
and easier on the eyes," he
chuckled.
Explaining that Russia has al-
ways been concerned with scien-
tific developments, he noted that
various athletic teams are called
by such scientific names as "Dy-
sian achievements in educating
the large masses of backward
people.
Golubjatnikov, who lived in Es-
tonia until he was 18 years old,
is very proud of his country's edu-
catiopal system before the Rus-
sians took control.
Enslaved until 1863, the only
education available at first to Es-
tonians was "Abe Lincoln style."
In the next 20 years, however,
education became the "first tri-
umph" of the country.
Should Interest
Great interest was always
shown in education, which was
considered as a vehicle by which
democracy could be furthered, he
said, adding that ignorance is al-
ways a fertile field for commun-
ism.
intellect to two factors:
Lists Reasons
1) Because college degree has
an enormous vocational value, and
j2) Because "a kind of welfare
state has developed on the campus
and 'living' has come to mean 'the
full life,' including a wife and
children, debts, and a nervous
breakdown."
The advocates and interpreters
of progressive education stress the
development of the whole man,
effectiveness in community living
and in enlightened, democratic,
cooperative citizenship, Barzun
noted. Yet the student "finds rath-
er that the course grows longer
without enhancing his native
powers or his joy of living."
Objects to Decline
He decried a decline of intel-
lectual pursuit in favor of athletics
and other activities, supplemented
by a "new set of plausible ir-
relevancies-convivial, psychologi-
cal, and other-under the name of
counseling adjustment and com-
munity living."
