Asks Money
From U.S.
To Aid Plant
International Center Director
James M. Davis yesterday sug-"
gested that the federal government
give funds to colleges and univer-
sities as a part of their program
supporting international students.
Davis proposed that the money
be given as matching funds to the
government's scholarships f o r
these students.
Speaking at a regional confer-
ence in San. Francisco of the
National Association of Foreign
Student Advisers, of which. he is
national president, Davis said that
the government must find "new
ways" to support parts of higher
education in the future, including
foreign student exchange.
"Seen in terms of the over-
riding considerations of the pre-
sent cold war, the exchange of
persons for educational purposes
looms very large," he said.
But a threat to the foreign stu-
dent exchange is posed by possible
doubling enrollments in the next
decade, Davis said, which might.
squeeze out the program if facili-
ties and staff cannot keep up with
enrollment.
He listed two lines of action
which can counteract this threat.
First each institution can
strengthen its local work with
foreign students and visitors.
Second, the national organiza-
tion can set up a training program
for personnel, and try to work
closelykwith government personnel,
to make it possible to get "what.
we need to do the job."

Members of 'the Inter-Coopera-

President for Student Affairs
James A. Lewis and several local
businessmen to discuss plans .for
opening two new co-op houses
next year.

Conferee
. Assistant Dean of Men John
Bingley will speak at the opening
session of the Panhellenic Asso-
ciation Workshop at 7:30 p.m. to-
day in the Hussey Room of the
League.
The workshop will consist of
five discussion groups which will
meet in the Michigan League un-
der the leadership of members
of the Panhel.
At 4:15 p.m., Susan Stillerman,
'62 A&D, will conduct a discus-
sion on "Panhel and the Cam-
pus." At the same time Kathleen
Bennett, '62, and Mary Jane Wil-
liams, '61Ed, will lead a discus-
sion on "Panhel and Our Alums"
and Katherine Steffek, '62, will
conduct a discussion of "Panhel
and the Sorority."
Two discussion groups will meet
at 7:30 p.m. A group lead by
Carla Maize, '62, will discuss "Pan-
hel and the Faculty." "Panhel and
the Administration" will be the
topic of a discussion group lead
by Mary Shaefer, '62.
Each sorority will send five del-
egates to the workshop, and non-
affiliated women are invited to
attend.
tee, told the meeting at the Michi-
gan Union that a six-man -group'
composed of faculty members and
Ann Arbor residents will advise
ICC in its plans for expansion.
"The history of co-ops is a his-
tory of revolt," Benkhard said.
"I would like to see co-ops co-
operate with the University and
the community. This group will
help up make plans with a greater
degree of stability; It's difficult
to plan long-range policy when the
planners change completely every
four years.
Houses Inefficient
"All our present houses are in-
efficient to some extent, because
they weren't built as co-ops but
as private homes, which We had
to remodel.
"Right now there are three
men's co-ops, four for women, and
one for married couples. The in-'
terest in co-ops is so great that
we could fill two new houses in the
fall, and still have people on the
waiting lists.
"We are thinking of building one
of the houses, and renting the
other," he said. "It all depends
on the kind of houses for sale, and
the cost of remodeling. We
borrow enough money from k
sources to cover the cost of bu
ing one house."
Different Needs
