Teaching 11 By HELENE SCHIFF University departments have a wide variety of programs to make sure that the teaching fellow who is facing his class knows something about how to teach it. This classroom situation is not uncommon since approximately 40 per cent of instruction in the literary college at the freshman and sophomore levels is done by teaching fellows. Graduate Students The training these graduate students receive ranges from formally taught classes to informal discussions with senior members of the departments. These programs enable the individual de- partments to relate their particular discipline to teaching. This is a more valuable system -to the teaching fellow than if all the teaching fellows from all of the departments were to take a general teaching course where the individual, departmental prob- lems of instruction could not be considered in detail. The English department, with the largest number of teaching fellows of any department, requires all graduate students teaching freshman English for the first time to take a two-credit course on "The Teaching of College English," Prof. H. M. English says. e liows Learr The class meets once a week for two hours to consider both theoretical and practical issues of the teaching of English. "We try to give the teaching fellow an understanding of his own position in the- academic profession," Prof. English says. There are lectures on topics such as "The Role of Higher Education" and "The Place of Freshman English in a Student's Curriculum." On the practical side, the seminar discusses the problems of grading papers. The class grades a paper collectively to arrive at a group opinion and to decide what type of comments would be helpful to the student. In addition, the teaching"fellows con- sider the management of class discussion and how to have com- plete participation. They also discuss the problem of plagiarism and how to teach so that this situation will not come up. For more individual help, a senior member of the English department is assigned to visit a teaching fellow's class and to give him any practical advice or constructive criticism he can, Prof. English explains. Training Teachers A program for training college teachers of psychology has been in operation in the psychology department since 1951, Prof. Robert L. Isaacson says. Enrollment in this bi-weekly seminar is required of teaching fellows during their first year of teaching. Instructional Methoc One of the main aims of this course is to "allow the new departmental teachers to find that their problems are ones common to all instructors and to give them an opportunity to share ideas and solutions," Prof. Isaacson explains. Part of the seminar is devoted to administrative details of the introductory courses. However, the main portion of the seminar is concerned with the role of psychology in a liberal and general education, he adds. 'No Attempt' "No attempt is made to inculcate any specific views about the introductory course. Rather, these are used as a means to stimulate thinking about educational objectives," Prof. Isaacson says. Many academic and professional counselors, testing experts, deans, motivational and performance theorists have presented their ideas to the seminar and thus, have "widened the scope of interest and knowledge of the teaching fellows." Two Courses The romance language department offers two courses for the French and Spanish teaching fellows who are new to the staff. The French course, "Application of Linguistics to the Teach- ing of French," is designed primarily to teach the graduate stu- dents what language is and how it operates, Prof. Ernst Pulgram explained. "We don't tell them how to teach, but instead we tell them about language. If thew know what language is, they will know how to teach it," he says. In understanding a language, the instructor must be able to compare the structure of the language he is teaching with the native language he is teaching in. It is not enough to be able to speak the language himself. He must have a "language sophistica- tion" so he can foretell the difficulties a student may encounter and know the technicalities of how to overcome these difficulties, Prof. Pulgram explains. Outside Reading In addiion to the regular class meetings the graduate students are required to do outside reading on the subject of linguistics and language. A seminar on teaching sociology is held weekly by the sociology department for the new teaching fellows. In this discussion, areas concerning the conduct in the class- room, problems of grading and the role of the instructor are covered.

To Offer Program In Bio-Engineering Combines Studies in Many Areas Of Biological Sciences, Medicine Bio-engineering, a new educational program in the engineering college, will be initiated at the University next fall. The program, which will combine studies in any area of engi- neering with those in the medical and biological sciences, is de- signed to train engineering graduates to work professionally in many areas associated with medicine, dentistry, pharmaceutical and other biological research, a committee report states. If he wishes, an engineering student may take courses for credit in a wide range of biological or medical subjects, including anatomy, botany, biochemistry, physical chemistry and zoology along with the {required courses for his chosen Joint Judic Voids Senate Finishes Fight r LSA Senior Election OPll-p al: Cites Irregularities, Inequities In C1as Ballotino Adinifistratinn - r By PHILIP SUTIN Joint Judiciary Council has voided last week's literary college senior class officer elections because of careless election administra- tion that led to irregularities and inequities, Judic chairman; Robert Berger, '63, announced yesterday.

Apparently triggered by a plan- ned midnight fire drill at Mary Markley Hall, men began gather- ing around 11:00 on Madison St. between West and South Quad- rangles. News of the raid was reportedly passed via the pay telephones in the Quadrangles. The origin of the calls has not been ascertained. Members of the Office of Student. Affairs could not be reached for comment regarding this matter. Joining scattered groups from East Quad, the wave proceeded to the women's residences. Straight to Markley Arriving about 11:30, the raid- ers bypassed the older houses and went directly to Markley. After a cool reception, they went to Alice Lloyd, where more, favorable treatment awaited them. A group of 10 students climbed onto the roof over the entrance lobby. They apparently met no opposition from representatives of the deans' offices. - From Lloyd, the raiders contin- ued on to Stockwell and Mosher- Jordan, where they cheered ,as various articles of clothing and rolls of toilet paper tumbled from partially darkened windows. On To Couzens The raid continued to Couzens, Hall, where it began to break up. At several points during the progress of the raid women tossed water and sometimes glass con- tainers at the men. Between 15 and 20 firecrackers were tossed during the raid. While the raiders were behind Jordan, Investigator for the Dean of Men Harold Swoverland tried f to ascertain the identity of peo- ple who were climbing onto the large hedges. After a brief ex- change of shoves, the students in- volved slipped back into the crowd. The last stragglers arrived at Helen Newberry and Betsy Bar- bour where they were met with cool disinterest. SGC To Elect New Officers $budent Government Council will elect new officers at its meeting tonight. SGC Treasurer Steven Stock- meyer, '63, and Administrative Vice-President Robert Ross, '63, engineering degree. He would graduate with an en- Rietin gineering degree, but would alsog be equipped to work in 'theseoth- er areas. Plan ed The program was worked out by Y e oed a committee composed of faculty members in the engineering col- lege, the literary college, the medi- cal school and the public health school. The committee said that even- tually, as the program is extend- ed to graduate studies, a new de- gree at the graduate level may be given. Departments' Authority The number of academic hours in the new bio-engineering area at the undergraduate level will be determined by the professional de- partments involved. Glenn V. Edmondson, associate dean of the engineering college, stressed the need for such a pro-1 gram and said that "there are very few tasks in engineering" now that are not associated with the human being and his reactions... " "Biology has become one of the working tools of the engineer," Prof. Lloyd Kempe of the engi- neering college, and chairman of the interdepartmental committee which will administer the new program, added. He pointed out that bio-engi- neering, itself is not a new idea. However, the emphasis in all en- gineering fields on the incorpora- tion of biological laws into each and the broad communication be- tween disciplines that this pro- gram establishes is, a new ap- proach, Prof. Kempe asserted. BULLETIN LONDON OP)-Damascus Ra- dio announced this morning the Syrian army command has dis- solved the Syrian Parliament and sealed the nation's borders. LANSING W) - Gov. John B. Swainson yesterday vetoed a bill to carve Michigan's 19th congres- sional district out of the southern half of Macomb County and the southeast corner of Oakland County. The bill, sponsored by Sen. Frank D. Beadle (R-St. Clair) "seeks to establish greatly unequal congressional districts that vio- late the principles of fair and equal representation for all the people of Michigan," Swainson said. He turned the matter back over to legislators telling them, in ef- fect, to try again. Michigan would get a 19th dis- trict if the governor will agree to a plan that is "not too far off from the one he vetoed," Rep. Al- lison Green (R-Kingston), House majority floor leader, said. A plan, sponsored by Sen. Carl- ton H. Morris (R-Kalamazoo) and, generally favored by Democrats "hasn't a chance," Green said. Morris agreed with Swainson, that a redistricting plan should more closely reflect population. A House bill, sponsored by Rep. James N. Folks (R-Horton), now in the Senate Judiciary Commit- tee, "is likely to be reported out of committee if the governor's veto is not overridden," Morris said. In his veto message, Swainson urged legislators to "reopen delib- erations on this problem and pro- vide the people of Michigan a fair and honest distribution of repre- sentation." oy error, tie quesuonao e sua ius of disqualified candidate Sharon Mc- Cue at the time of the election and occasions when ballots were unattended by poll workers were also cited by Joint Judic. Other Complaints The statement pointed out ad- ministrative errors in Boards of Control of Intercollegiate Athletics and Student Publications and Michigan Union Board elections, but said that the complaints re- ceived were not of sufficient im- portance to affect the election. Berger cited Article IV, Section 4 of the Judic constitution, "Coun- cil shall act as final authority in questions arising under the elec- tion rules of Student Government Council and other organizations participating in all-campus elec- tions," as the main basis of Judic power to invalidate the balloting. Hard Choice Administrative difficulties may have led to the voiding of the elec- tion, co-elections director Robert Zimmer, '64, explained. Because Identification cards do not list school and year and the problems of compiling lists of eligible stu- dents and giving them to poll work- ers before the election, voters were asked to sign lists when voting. Frondizi Snubs Ultimatum BUENOS AIRES (RP)-Argentina President Arturo Frondizi' early this morning rejected a combined demand by military leaders for his resignation. At the same time, it was understood that Frondizi's Defense Minister Rodolfo Martin- ez would offer the armed forces a compromise solution with Fron- dizi remaining in office, but with strict limitations on his power by the military. Alumni Laud OSA Report By KENNETH WINTER The Alumni Association has ap- plauded the efforts of the Office of Student Affairs Study Commit- tee and expressed confidence that the University will, make wise de- cisions concerning the OSA. In a unanimous resolution pass- ed last Saturday, the Association's Board of Directors called the OSA Committee's report "a sincere ef- fort to study and formulate phi- losophy and policy in this com- plex area," and offered its assist- ance to the Regents and adminis- tration in implementing the rec- ommendations., The resolution held that "it is a privilege and not a right for a student to enroll in the U~ni- versity," and therefore the Univer- sity has the right to set high standards of academic- achieve- ment and social conduct. Alumni Association General Sec- retary John E. Tirrell, who had previously expressed this view in an editorial in the Michigan Alum- nus, explained the group's position. "In many states anyone with a high school diploma has the right to attend their universities. One of the greatest strengths of this Uni- versity has been that it and the IAgislature have agreed with the principle of selective admission and made it a privilege to attend," he commented. Although the Alumnae Council, which unsuccessfully attempted to persuade the OSA Committee to retain the dean of women's post, is represented on the Alumni Board of Directors, the resolution did not mention this question. { '1 -AP wirephoto SEARCH-French troops check civilians through a barbed wire barricade at the entrance to the Bab el Oued district of Algiers after battles with secret army terrorists there.

All v South Splits Over Issue After Delay Final Implementation Pends Vote in House, Approval by States , WASHINGTON (/P')--The Senate approved yesterday a proposed Constitutional amendment to out- law the poll tax as a requirement. for voting in Federal elections. ' The' 77-16 vote, more than the required two - thirds majority, brought an abrupt end to a fight that had tied up the Senate bfor nearly two weeks. Southern Senators, usually unit- ed in opposition to civil rights measures, were split over the poll tax issue and did not undertake a full-scale filibuster to block action. Extra Sessions For 10 days, however, luring which the Senate met for extra sessions and virtually closed down its committee work, some of them had resisted preliminary motions with a barrage of lengthy speeches. But they called a halt late Mon- day and didn't take full advantage of the speech-making opportun- ties available to them. The proposed amendment, one of two civil rights measures urged by President John F. Kennedy, now goes to the House. If approved there, it will leave to be ratified by three-fourths of te 50 states to become effective. Sen. Spessard L. Holland (D-Fla) was its chief sponsor in the Senate. No House Action Two years ago the Senate a- proved the anti-poll tax amend- ment by a 72-16 vote as part of a package of three Constitutional amendments, but the House took no action on it. Only five states-Alabama, Ar- kansas, Mississippi, Texas and Vir- ginia-still require voters to pay a poll tax in Federal elections. Before approving Holland's bill, the Senate tabled and thus killed by a 59-34 vote a move by Sen. Jacob K. Javits (R-NY) to outlaw the poll tax as a requirement for voting in Federal elections by leg- islation, rather than by Constitu- tional amendment. Southerners Quit The Senate had begun to move after Southern senators subsided late Monday after conducting a 10-day talkfest against bringing up the anti-poll tax proposal. The Southern forces reportedly decided at a meeting that they had made thseir position clear to the folgs back home and that it would be useless to try to continue the debate.
