Foreign engineering students
may soon benefit from a movement
designed to help them gain prac-
tical experience in the United
States.
Security restrictions, immigra-
tion regulations,regional preju-
dices and English language short-
comings are now blocking foreign
students from practical training
jobs.
"Some foreign students consider
this experience even more valuable
than formal education here in the
'United States," assistant to the,
dean of engineering school Prof.
John G. Young said yesterday.
Work Desirable.
Practical work is desirable in
order to apply formal education
in the underdeveloped countries,
he said.
A proposal to study the problem]
is now pending before the execu-
tive board of the Anerican Society
of Engineering Education. If ap-
proved, the ASEE study would
evaluate the worth of practical
experience for foreign students
here and also create an awareness
of the problem, Prof. Young, also
chairman of the ASEE Interna-
tional Relations Committee said.
"Many students have gone home
feeling deprived," he continued.
Instead of reaping international
good will . . . they return to their
native land disappointed," Prof.
Young commented. "This has a
big bearing on our status in critical
countries," he' added.
Allowed To Work
Technical students are allowed
to work in this country for 18
months after graduation according
to present immigration laws, Prof.
Young said.
The ASEE proposed study would
require one year's time at a cost
of approximately $24,000.
The foreign student's principal
handicap is that of being a tem-
porary employee, the study nropo-
sal noted. "Most industrial employ-1
ers consider technical students or
graduates only when there is rea-
sonable expectation of several)
years, or preferably career, em-
ployment," the proposal continued.
Has To Be Wanted
"The foreign student has to be
badly wanted and pretty well ad-
vanced to be accepted for tem-
porary employment by most indus-
trial firms," Prof. Young said. Fac-
ulty members sometimes step in
and assist the student wanting em-
ployment through ttheir contacts
in industry.
"But this is the exception," Prof.
Young said.

"I was fascinated by the ob-
scurity of it all," Prof. William
Arrowsmith said, explaining his
early interest in classics. "I first
took Greek at prep school, and
was the only one in the only class."
The smiling, distinguished pro-
fessor, now a memberhof the
classics department at the Uni-
versity of Texas, has several pro-
fessions which he can rightfully
call his own. A well-known classi-
cal scholar, he is also a critic
and translator.
Classics is not a degree field for
everyone, he explained, adding
that "the 'caviar curriculum'
should attract the very best stu-
dents in the university.
Visits Ann Arbor
Prof. Arrowsmith, who is in Ann
Arbor this week to give two lec-
tures for the classical studies and
English departments, was here
during the war in a Japanese area
studies program. He attended
Princeton and Oxford, and was a
Guggenheim Fellow, A Woodrow
Wilson Fellow, a Rhodes scholar
and a Prix de Rome Fellow.
A translator of a great number
of Greek and Roman tragedies, he
is at his best when discussing
work in this area.
His work includes the plays of
Aristophanes and Euripides, "Pe-
tronius the Satyricon," which= he
described as "a Roman Lolita, only
much better," and which will be
published by the University Press.
"I try to make a play produce-t
able," he said. "The thing you've
got to create is the illusion of con-
temporaneity. It's impossible to
put Aristophanes in the" exact
modern idiom, and if you stretch
the modernity of the idiom too
far, the illusion necessarily
breaks."
The translation of ancient
drama presents a problem in that
a balance between modern idiom
and classical stylization must be
achieved.
Formerly, translators tried to
create a sense of how tragic dic-
tion must have sounded to Athen-
ian ears, with its austerity, ele-
vation and archaism.
The actor employing these
translations found it difficult to
make his lines live, he added.
Speeches were further compli-
cated by fixed meter and internal
rhyme.
Relates Drama
rently, he is continuing his trans-
lations and reviewing poetry and
novels, in addition to completing for the Finest in Recorded Music
a novel begun in Europe.

...to sing ballads
backroom ballads, from love songs

Brand has received many awards
for both his children's-records and
his record series for adults. His
own composition of "A Guy Is a
Guy" sold more than a million
records.
Brand, a graduate psychologist,
has taken what he has learned
about the human personality and
has woven it into the' pattern of
his folk song presentations.
He has been able to develop a
song-and-story presentation which
has proved successful in such
places as New York's Carnegie Hall
and McMillen Auditorium, as well
