The question of which organi-
ations should have the responsi-
ility for directing international'
tudent affairs will be debated
when a motion by Brian Glick,
62, is presented to Student Gov-
rnment Council tonight.
Glick's motion would abolish the
resent International Coordinat-
ng Board, limit the functions of
3C's International Committee,
,nd establish an International Re-
ations Committee.
"The International Relations
3ommittee is a crucial part of
he motion," Glick said in a dis-
ussion of the motion with M. A.
Ryder Shah, Grad. 'This has been
,he most neglected area of inter-
iational student affairs at -the
Iniversity and because it has been
ieglected there has been a great
ack of communication between
Ioreign and American students on
ampus."
Glick is president of the Inter-
iational Coordinating Board, and
Shah is an SGC member and past
>resident of the International Stu-
lents' Association.
Reservations
"I have serious reservations
bout this motion although I would
iot say I am definitely opposed to
b," Shah said. "In the past, SGC
ias passed motions and approved
rganizations too quickly without
:iving due consideration to their
'uture dangers.
"'Organizations concerned with
nternational student affairs at
his campus have heretofore been
oo dependent on their chairman.
3GC should give strong powers to
is present International Commit-
Re so there will be an organiza-
,ion thatwill stay basically the
ame inspite of changes in lead-
rship."
Glick said the International
ommittee was established by the
Douncil to provide services to for-
gn and American students which
ould not be provided by the In-
ernational Coordinating Board.
No Reason
"There is no reason for the In-
ernational Committee to expand
ts functions simply because the
CB is being abolished," he com-
nented. "The purplse of this mo-
ion is to establish a program that
will deal with all areas of inter-
national student affairs that need
o be considered. If the motion is
>assed, then these organizations
will have the permanent strue-
ure needed for continued opera-
ions in their areas. This will al-
eviate the problem of organiza-
ions being smaller than their
hairman."

A committee of three city leg-
islators was established this week
to iron out details'in the formation
of an Ann Arbor art and culture
commission.
The Ann Arbor Art and Design
Committee, headed by Prof. Wal-
ter Chambers, chairman of the
landscape architecture depart-
ment, recommended in its final
report to City Council that a Civic
Art Commission be established by
law.
Such a group, Prof. Chambers.
said, would be responsible for "a
vigorous educational program"
and control of new building in
the city to insure "good function-
al design and visual environment."
The committee has held 16
meetings since it was set up by
the council in March, 1959. In
recommending its own dissolution

and establishment of the new
commission, Prof. Chambers' group
sketched what commissions in
other cities have done.
Under an ordinance in Berke-
ley. Calif., such a group encour-
ages and gains support for cultural
organizations, and gives advice to
the council on city beautification,,
purchasing of works or arts, sites
and approaches for municipal
projects.
The Berkeley group also makes
recommendations on placement or
removal of art the city owns, ad-
vises school builders, and makes
a semi-annual survey of art in the
city.
Prof. Chambers envisioned a
similar role for the Ann Arbor
group, and said that "ugliness
usually costs more than beauty."

The role of the electric computer
in "business games" will be an-
alyzed by a group of 22 business
men today, in the first part of a
two-day session sponsored by the
Bureau of Industrial Relations.,
This new use of computers in
analyzing hypothetical business
conditions and determining the
probable success of various de-
cisions under those conditions has
proved to be an innovation in ap-
plied teaching methods.
First used by the school of Busi-
ness Administration in the spring
of 1959, the computers now con-
stitute the basis ofr a one-hour
Business Administration course
called "Business Games," and of-
fered to graduate students.
Competing Groups
In this course the students are
divided into groups, or competing
firms. Each firm is given specified
business conditions: including
factory size, production costs, ad-
vertising costs, and market re-
ports.
With the understanding that
what their competitors do will af-
fect them, each group must decide
how to plan production, promo-
tion and product price to gain the
most profit.
The decisions are submitted to
the computer, which then calcu-
lates the immediate outcome and
