PAGE TWO THE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1966 FAQE TWO THE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 2~. 1qI~ IV DAILY APPOINTMENTS: ChooseNew Business Staff Van Wylen Sees Need, Future for Engineers, (Continued from Page 1) has been appointed to the position of business manager, but she is as qualified as any man The Daily has had in the past." He added, "I am quite confident that this group will continuethe successful operation of The Daily, maintaining its financial auton- omy 'and thus maintaining its editorial freedom. This group of juniors coming in is the most qual- ified and most deserving of any group of students who have re- ceived these honors." Jeffrey Leeds, newly appointed Associate Business Manager, said, "The senior staff is looking for- ward to a great team effort next year; I'll be putting out my hard- est efforts as my part of this team." The business staff manages the financial end of The Daily's pub- lication; it solicits advertisements from merchants, student groups, and nation-wide firms, and with the income from this makes the paper an independent enterprise. Name Smith Speaker at Convocation Arnold Cantwell Smith, secre- tary general of the British Com- monwealth, will be the speaker at the University's 43rd annual Hon- ors Convocation April 1. The convocation, scheduled to begin at 10:30 a.m., will honor 11000 students judged as superior scholars. Smith's address will be on "The Commonwealth in World Politics." Smith is a native of Toronto, Ontario. Educated in Canada, and a Rhodes scholar at Oxford, he is a widely experienced diplomat, appointed last year to his recently created post. He heads a per- manent secretariat stationed in London which has the duty of being the impartial and vigilant assistant of the Commonwealth members. Generally unknown to Ameri- cans, Smith assumed the post with a wide background of experience as an economics professor an edi- tor, and a diplomat. As a diplomat, he has served in various trouble spots of the world, such as Moscow and Cairo. He was the interna- tional truce commissioner for Cambodia and Indochina in 1955- 56, and has served in the United Nations and at NATO ministerial, meetings for Canada. Smith will be honored with an honorary degree at the convoca- tion. demand for his services exist for Satisfying careers and a great demand for his services exist for the high school student interested in engineering, says the dean of the college of engineering. "The need is unprecedented," Dean Gordon J. Van Wylen notes in a statement for National Engi- neers Week. "We never have seen anything like this in terms of de- mand." The need and the opportunity to find challenging and satisfying careers in engineering arise from the needs of society, he points out: "Our lives and the world in which we live are becoming in- creasingly technologically oriented. Not only do consumer products such as cars and refrigerators re- quire more technical development, but many national problems de- mand engineering solutions. These include, for example, transporta- tion, air and water pollution and safety." Van Wylen said these plus the continuing needs of the space and defense programs, illustrate why "The demand for engineers is sky- rocketing. The dean urged high school stu- dents interested in engineering to take all the math, chemistry and physics that they can get In their high schools. But English is not to be neglected, he cautioned: "The engineers ability to read and communicate effectively is be- coming increasingly important." In the engineering college, these skills are developed further along with engineering science, analysis, design and the humanities. But the rigors of these studies don't prohibit engineering students from taking part in campus life. Engi- neers now head the Intrafrater- nity Council, Van Wylen noted, and several are varsity athletes. All of these help prepare stu- dents for positions of responsi- bility and leadership, he said. About one-third of all big busi- nesses are now headed by persons who were technically trained. The University is well represented among these, the dean said. It has long been among the top few schools in the country both as regards quality and the number of all engineering degrees granted, he added.
