IN THE complexity of a modern University, it is periodically necessary to reassert the institution's most basic values, to affirm the value and meaning of the concept of education. Part of this affirmation is the honors convocation. Despite the many distractions and distortions of a modern university, the basic idea is still a community of scholars work- ing together to broaden the scope of man's knowledge. Despite the transient waves of this or that view on where educational experience centers, the University always returns to a funda- mental precept: education takes place in the classroom. The overwhelming tone of the campus-whatever concerns students at the moment-is still academic. For this reason, we pause to honor those who have ex- celled in their academic achievement. Certainly there are significant values gained by those who participate in extra- curricular activities; but the mental discipline of study is a prerequisite for any kind of meaningful intellectual expansion. These academic achievements are expressive of intellectual discipline. For the most part they represent weeks and months of hard and often boring work. IT IS THIS difficult achievement we honor because it is in the highest tradition of the University. Whatever the momentary issues that have torn the campus, these students have managed to devote themselves to the pursuit of higher meaning. They have chosen to dedicate themselves to the ideal of a dispassionate, humanistic search for truth. The Daily staff extends its congratulations to these stu- dents who have worked to make themselves a part of the community of scholars. Through them, and those like them who will follow and have preceded them; the University will be perpetuated as a center of intellectual ideals in the com- munity of mankind. Seaborg To Discuss Survival At 39th Honors 0 Convocation r Nobel Prize Winner To Vlew Education Says U.S. Must Not Fall Behind In Non-Military Fields of Endeavor By GAIL EVANS Glenn T. Seaborg, chairman of the United States Atomic Energy Commission, will speak on "Education-and Survival" at the University's 39th annual Honors Convocation today. Seaborg received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1951 for his part in the discovery of plutonium. Since 1940, the re- nowned educator, researcher and chemist has co-discovered nine elements, the isotope PU 239, and Uranium 233.

The Council tried and is in the midst of deliberating on the case of Sigma Nu fraternity which had been charged with violating Univer- sity regulations on membership selection. At a hearing April 4, Dr. Sidney Smock, alumni spokesman for the fraternity admitted technical violation of Regents Bylaw 2.14 and the. membership regulations, but said that his fraternity has been work- ing to eliminate its discriminatory membership clause for many years. He urged that SGC give it more time to allow it to attempt to persuade -Daily-Jerome Starr ANGELL HALL-Center of the literary college, Angell Hall has inscribed above its pillars the quotation from the Northwest Ordinance "Religion, morality and knowledge being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall forever be encouraged. Angell Hall, built in the 1920's, houses-in addition to faculty offices and classrooms-the administration of the literary college, academic counseling offices and the honors counsel. REGENTS-ALUMNI STIPEND: Seniors Hold Scholarships for 4 Years New .Awardt "We are awarding scholar-t ships to students for service in t the University while they are1 still in school to reward those who have helped and to encour-l age participation in the Devel-1 opment Council," Miss Carolinet Dow, '63, a student member of the Council said. - The Development Council has established five service scholar-" ships to be awarded to studentsI who "serve the University," she1 noted.I "We want to show that it is always good to aid the Univer- sity and we also wish to publi- cize the Council and its activi- ties," Miss Dow continued. The Council coordinates and1 raises funds for the University< from alumni and friends of the University. It provides approxi- mately one-fifth of the Univer- sity's funds. The money will be awarded according to need. It will be de- ducted from the funds raised at the Council's annual jazz con- cert. Organizations Supplement Campus Life Student activities, supplement- ing and working alongside regu- lar classes, play an immeasurable role in the life of many University students.

During spring vacation, Sigma Nu received a waiver from its na- tional permitting it to waive dis- criminatory provisions in its mem- bership regulation and ritual. Council considered the Sigma Nu case at its last meeting after hearing recommendations f r o m the membership committee con- cerning the latest developments. It passed regulations intended to secure adequate membership state- ments for the committee on mem- bership. It has collected state- ments from all fraternities and sororities and will consider action against groups whose statements are still considered inadequate by next September. In December, Council passed legislation setting a January 17 deadline for all fraternities and sororities to submit their mem- bership selection clauses and their interpretations to the Office of Student Affairs. This action was designed as part of the Committee on Membership Selection in Stu- dent Organization's process of en- forcing the Regent's by-law 2.14 against bias in student organiza- tions.

University President Harlan H. Hatcher will preside at the Convo- cation which will honor about 900 undergraduates for academic ex- cellence. Seaborg, a native of Michigan from the Upper Peninsula, was awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from the University at the 1958 commencement. Before he accepted the position as chair- man of the AEC, he was chancellor of the University of California at Berkeley. Key Figure During World War II he was a key figure in the development of the atomic bomb under the Army's Manhattan project. And in 1959, Seaborg won the Enrico Fermi Award, a top government prize for atomic scientists. Seaborg has long been concerned with the problems of world peace and survival. Issues which he be- lieves to be of greater consequence than any other problem in the past. However, as an educator, he has confidence in man's ability to solve these problems. In order to survive as free men educators must groom the gifted student as well as raise the educa- tional level of the whole, according to Seaborg. Even if there is no war, the United States must make sure that America is not the loser in other areas. He thinks that the educational goal should be to de- velop to the maximum the capabil- ities of every individual. Importance of Excellence However, Seaborg does recognize the importance of excellence, as a student, researcher, educator and as Chancellor. Mere academic excellence will not insure world peace, Seaborg has maintained. He knows the value of communication and un- derstanding in solving world prob- lems. Seaborg is a member of the joint commission on radioactivity of the International Council of Science Unions. Seaborg has also emphasized the importance of maintaining eco- nomic and military strength. But the source of this strength reverts to education, he points out. As an educator Seaborg is in- terested in expanding graduate studies. He believes that today's complex world demands more ad- vanced learning than ever before. GLENN T. SEABOG ... heads AEC AEC Co s OntroI Atom. Energy . Within U.S. By BARBARA PASH The atomic Energy Commission was established in 1946 for the purpose of providing and adminis- tering programs for the develop- ment, use and control of atomic energy in the United States. The purpose of the Atomic En- ergy Act, which instituted the AEC, was to develop a national policy which would make the max- imum contribution to the general welfare, promote world peace, in- crease the standard of living and strengthen free competition in pri- vate enterprise. In order to implement these goals, the Commission is given the duties of encouraging private par- ticipation in programs for research and development, international co- operation, production of atomic energy and special nuclear ma- terials, and the dissemination of scientific and technical informa- tion. The AEC has the responsibility to protect the health and safety of the public, and to regulate the con- trol and use of source, byproduct and special nuclear materials. The Commission is composed of five commissioners appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate. One of the members is designated by the President as the Chairman. Glenn T. Seaborg is chairman of the AEC. The other commissioners are John S. Graham, Leland J. Haworth, Loren K. Olson and Rob- ert E. Wilson. The operations of the AEC are carried out mainly by industrial concerns and by private institu- tions under contract to the Com- mission. The principal production, research and development activi- ties are conducted by contractors in facilities owned by the AEC. In its annual report to Congress for 1961, the Commission noted a number of "firsts." "Among them was that America was the first na- tion in the world to send compact nuclear energy power .units into space, namely TRANSIT satellites. Project Gnome, the first experi- ment of the Commission's Plow- share Program, was carried out successfully. This program is di- rected toward demonstrating peacefultcivil benefits achievable with nuclear explosives.

True, that since last spring about this time the Big Ten baseball, outdoor track, tennis, and gymnastics titles were annexed. But more notable were the "almost but not quite" performances of the football, indoor track, hockey, wrestling, and swimming teams. Only the golfers, however, who settled for eighth in last spring's Conference meet after a whirlwind sweep through dual meet com- petition, could really be classed as "disappointments." Rebound Even the basketball team, for two years a Big Ten also-ran, showed signs of regaining some strength. But the big story lies in what might have been, After Bump Elliott's footballers blasted the prides of the west and east, UCLA and Army, on successive Saturday's to open the sea- son Rose Bowl dreams began to float around campus and alumni O'N .. , ..
