"We take a passive role. We
show what can be done and hope
for the best results, but it is up to
the individuals involved to pro-
vide the impetus for it," he noted.
Fraternity response has been
favorable, but it is difficult to im-

houses with their own members
and so don't have the room, Karls
continued.
Questionnaires were sent to all
quadrangle residents asking them
of they would be interested in
joining the program. The answers
have not yet been evaluated, but
there are approximately 250 for-
mer American students now on
campus who have participated in
previous International Brother
Programs.
Letters explaining all the Ui-
ion's programs are sent to each
foreign student in the spring and
summer as they are accepted to
the University. Two weeks before
school begins in the fall, orienta-
tion for foreign students is held.
At that time, the committee' meets
many of the students.

and "we are afraid we miss some
students," he said.
The committee expects about 15
per cent of the international and
American-brothers to be living to-
gether next fall. The rest would
participate together in the group
projects.

MODERN COMPOSERS:
Johnson Attacks Audience
For RejectingNew Music

By KENNETH WINTER
The highly successful Student
Loan Program of the National De-I
fense Education Act has had a1
revolutionary effect on student
borrowing at the University.
Assistant Dean of Men Karl D.
Streiff, head of the student loan
office, described the changed situ-;
ation both for borrowers and lend-l
ers since the NDEA was enacted
in 1958.1
Students have become increas-
ingly numerous and eager to ob-
tain funds since the NDEA publi-
cized the availability of student
loans, Streiff said. Also, going into
debt to finance an education is no
longer considered a' stigma, since
consumer credit buying became
socially acceptable during the
1940's.
Increased Loans
Private donations of loan funds,
which have been increasing since
World War II, are now finding an
increased demand among students.
"More important, the NDEA has
liberalized the policies of the Uni-
versity Loan Committee.
The NDEA_ program has added
$250,000 per year to the Univer-
sity's loan service, which last year
provided 6,500 loans totalling $1.5
million.
A recently reported nationwide
survey by the United States De-
partment : of Health, Education
and Welfare concluded* that, the
NDEA program had carried out its
prime purpose "by granting the
majority of its loans to capable
and needy students pursuing
courses of study in education, sci-
ence, mathematics, engineering
where there are critical manpower
and modern foreign languages.
shortages."'
Different Purpose
Streiff said that the NDEA loans
generally serve a different purpose
than the University's other loan'
funds. "A normal University loan
which provides funds to supple-
ment the student's own resources,
can meet the needs of most stu-
dents. But a superior student who
needs a large amount for a base

dayafternoon, sponsored by Mich-

for his financial program needs an
NDEA loan."
He explained that NDEA loans
are generally longer-term and for
greater amounts than other Uni-
versity loans.
Loans Supplied Yearly
Since NDEA loans are supplied
to the University once a year, they
are only available during an ap-
plication period which occurs once
a year. This year's application
period began in February and will
continue until the $250.000 has
been, allocated. Streiff predicted
that this would be sometime in
May.
NDEAloans, on the other hand,
are not as easy to secure. They
are handled like scholarships, with
applications evaluated by certain
criteria and only some requests
approved. 'A student must be aca-
demically superior to qualify, and
must demonstrate financial need
to receive a loan. Science, engi-
neering, mathematics, foreign
language and education maiors
are given preference.
Government
To Extend 'U'
Cuban, Grant
The University recently accept-
ed $2,000 from the .United States
Department of Health, Education
and Welfare for a Cuban Students
Loan Fund.
The purpose of the United
States Loan Prograro is to make
available non-interest loans to
Cuban nationals who cannot now
receive support from sources in
Cuba. The funds; have' been made
ayailable from the federal govern-
ment but the program is admims-
tered through the participating
institutions such as the University.
Students who are eligible must
have no sources of financial aid
for their education either from
yCuba or the United' States, The
maximum allotment for any stu-
dent is $500 per semester.
Thus far three students have
applied for such aid from the Uni-
versity, 'Assistant Dean of Men
John Bingley said recently. The
University is responsible for de-
termining the eligibility of the ap-
plicants and deciding about the
amount of money to be loaned.
Students, in order to be eligible,
must be Cuban national, capable
of continuing to maintain a satis-
factory standing in the opinion
of the University, unable to re-
ceive support fore his education
and in need of a loan to continue
it.

By ELIZABETH ROEDIGER
Audiences today have become
lazy; they have lost their sense of
adventure that comes from listen-
ing to a new composition, Prof.
Thor Johnson said yesterday.
Prof. Johnson from Northwest-
ern University School of Music,
is returning for the twenty-fourth
time to conduct at the May Festi-
val. "Music has always run about
thirty years behind the times, es-
pecially for the last hundred
years," he said.
Of all the arts, the public has
refused to accept new music alone'
with enthusiasm, he explained.
Propel New Works
"I always like to propel a new
work so that conducting becomes
not just a repetitive process," he
said. "There is a sense of imme-
diacy about new works - this is

music of our time."
This year Prof. Johnson will
conduct a program Thursday, May
5, in honor of the sixtieth birth-
day of Sir William Walton, also
including a selection by Walton's
contemporary, Ralph Vaughn Wil-
liams.
Both compositions are virtually
unknown, he noted, and both
"merit consideration."
Both Richard Lewis and Phyllis
Curtin who will appear in the
Thursday performance have sung
Walton's opera, "Troilus and Cres-
sida" previously. Lewis in the Lon-
don World Premiere and Miss
Curtin in the American premiere.
"But there is no record of a
previous performance of Vaughn
Williams' "Dona Nobis Pacem,"
Prof. Johnson said.
"Requiem"dby.Anton Dvorak
will be the third composition Prof.
Johnson will conduct; a piece he
described as unknown except in
Czechoslovakia.
Although Prof. Johnson has
conducted all the major symphony
orchestras in the United States,
he has yet to compose. "If anyone
can live without it he certainly
should," he said about composing.
He added that the works he liked
best to conduct were those which
he would like most to have com-
posed himself; works which come
"naturally and require no forced
interpretation.
Contemporary Composers
Prof. Johnson said ."of contem-
porary composers "there are so
many good ones," citing Walter
Berry of the University of Michi-
gan as a "recent superb compos-
er. "
Stravinsky he called "a tremen-
dous influence, a composer who
has always made .tremendous
peaks, always taking a new direc-
tion, but with a freshness and cur-
iosity that always sounds. like
Stravinsky."
Prof. Johnson contrasted the
personalities of Bruno Walter and
Arturo Toscanini, saying of Walter
that he was "affectionate, his con-
ducting was like warming over
coals," while "Toscanini sent
sparks flying everywhere."
