'FRESH LIGHT':
EducatonalOT Polems
By MIICHAEL OLINICK
Five University professors threw some "Fresh Light" on the
"Problems of Highe- Education" yesterday as Michigan. educators
concluded their 15th annual conference at the Rackham Bldg.
Honors Council Director Prof. Otto Graf of the German depart-
ment reported that 90 per cent of the honors students are measuring

UNITED NATIONS VP) - Act-
ing Secretary-General U Thant
ysterasy took personal charge o
authorized United Nations forces
to take "every measure possible"
to ptdow muin bled
led by Congolese leftits. ieed
Erupting less than two weeks
since he took office, the uprising
in the troubled. nation presented
the Burmese diplomat with a new
force working against Congolese
unity and stability, which the UN
is pledged to promote.
Another major divisive force,
ince, occupied most speakers in- a
Security Council meeting on The
Congo. Ceylon, Liberia and the
United Arab Republic asked the
11-nation Council to strengthen
U Thant's powers to oust mercen-
aries from Katanga and stop arms
shipments to Katanga President
Moise Tshombe's regime.
Hears Council Debate
U Thant sat in on the Council
debate after spending most of the
morning dealing with the new up-
rising. He told UN officials in
Leopoldville to restore order in

Albertville and Kindu, in the East-
ern Congo more than a thousand
miles from Leopoldville.
Dispatches from Leopoldville
quoted diplomatic informants as
saying that Antoine Gizenga, left-
ist political heir of former Pre-
mier Patrice Lumumba, is lead-
ing the mutiny in the Eastern
C Pgoroblem for U Thant
This may present U Thant with
a serious political problem. If the
UN ends a mutiny reportedly led
by leftists and is unable to stop
the Katanga secession, the Soviet
Union and some neutralists may
try to blame the acting secretary-
general.
The three-nation resolution in
the Security Council, prepared be-
fore thenew mutiny, is directed
duced by Nathan Barnes of Liber-
ia, who told the Council that for-
eign interests are responsible for
the Congo chaos. .
"The heart of the Congo prob-
lem is the callous pursuit of self-
interest by foreign interests, both
public and private, which have
been linked with a complete dis-

up to the special opportunities ~

w uson Emphasizes ~eu
By CAROLINE DOW
If universities and colleges cannot cooperate voluntarily then an
outside agency will have to do it for them, Logan Wilson, president
of the American Council of Education, said in an interview yesterday.
Covering problems from fragmentation of knowledge to Health,
Education and Welfare disagreements this gentleman from Texas
covered the problems that confront higher education.
We cannot afford wasteful duplication in an internationally
comnpetitive situation, he continued. The difference between nations

Chas been stimulated to develop
and maintain an honors outlook
in scholarship, and in growing
cultural insights."
The honors program-designed I
to challenge the superior student
to "the outer limit of his ability"
-enters its fifth year with 906
undergraduates. The 252 honors
freshmen boast median scores of
670 verbal and 680 mathematical
on the Scholastic Aptitude Tests
of the College Entrance Examina.-
tion Board, compared to overall I
freshman marks of 545 and 587.
.Newcomb Lectures
Following the aim of the annual
Conference on Higher Education
to present research and surV'ey
findings, Prof. Theodore M. New-
chology dep'artments discusseds
"Wa:nronmalE C ndiins
Growth of Students?"
The "bull session" is one of the
most valuable college experiences,
Prof. Newcomb said.
He emphasized that the effects
of groups--which may be a pair of
roommates or a fraternity-have
much to do with the values and at-.
titudes which faculty members
and administrators are trying to
bring about in students.
Discusses 'Academic Man'
Visiting Associate Professor of
Higher Education Allan 0. Pfnis-
ter, director of a Ford Fund grant
relating to college teaching, delv-
ed into the academic origin of
the academic man and the rela-
tion between the kinds of in-
stitutions in which he received his
training and the kinds in which
he later assumes a professorial
role.
while faculty member do noit
call any special emphasis during
their academic years that lead
them to view college teaching as a
possible career, the environment
of the institutions in which they
took their academic woi-k "en-
couraged in them the habits of
mind and interests which later
made college teaching a desirable
career choice," he said.
Discussing research, the studies
of different teaching methods,
Prof. Wilbert J. McKeachie of the
psychology department claimed
conclusions thatndsmall cssuare
a little better than large classes
for good students, discussion is
better than lecture for achieving
critical thinking and attitude, and
television is inferior to live think-
ing for almost any purpose of
higher education.
'Differences Small'

' By HARRY PERLSTADT
Rod Beaulieu, '58, administrative assistant to Democratic State
Central Committee Chairman Joe Collins, yesterday spoke to the
Young Democrats Club on subjects ranging from state party structure
to higher education to the Cons'titutional Convention.
Speaking on higher education, Beaulieu said that the Democrats
were opposed to a tuition increase. "Education should be public and
not private.
"'The raise of tuition would eventually make it prohibitive to
certain economic levels," he said.
Points to WSU
But he also pointed out that although the Democrats control
the boards of the three universities with constitutional status, the
9Wayne State board did raise the

regard for the welfare of the Con-
golese people . . ." Barnes said.
As for the white mercenaries in
Tshombe's army, Barnes said they
support ''the forces of greed and
retrogression . . . in my view they
are no better than international
criminals and should be treated as
such."
CAPE CANAVERAL (VP) - A
double header rocket hurled two
satellites into orbit last night as
forerunners of a space age navi-
gation system.
The feat gave the United States
three sparkling new satellites in
one of its most productive days of
the space age'.

One failure marred the other-'

rocket carrying a biological ex-
periment toward a brief journey
to the Van Allen radiation belt
broke apart shortly after launch-
ing from Point Arguello, Calif.
The Cape Canaveral satellites
were clamped together in the nose
of a 50-ton Thor-Able-Star rock-
et which worked with precision
and drove the space twins into or-
bit more than 600 miles above the
earth.
A spring kicked them into sep-

The 12 students were placed
on probation for the remaind-

Their plight became known
when anonymous letter writers
deluged newspaper offices with
complaints about the discipli-

Of Graduates
February graduates have more
difficulty gaining financial sup-
port for further study, as most
foundation and scholarship agen-
cies are geared to the Septem-
ber - June academic year, En-
gineering College Associate Dean
James Mouzon reports.
This problem especially affects
the engineering school because
engineering curriculum requires
more than eight semesters. As a
result many engineers graduate in
February and then continue in
graduate work for the spring se-
mester, he said.

Beaulieu contends, did not put

advocated "If they had broken

the appropriations would not have
been cut on education and mental

Rule in Charter
By DAVID Mi4RCUS
The University chapter of Al-
pha Tau Omega fraternity has
been granted a waiver allowing
deletion of its bias clause.
Specifically, the waiver permits-
the local to remove its national
requirement limiting membership
to"hite males of the Chistian
local ATO President Richard
Clark, '62BAd, said last night.
"I sincerely believe that this
brings us into accord with the
University ruling on discrimina-
tion," Clark said.
Granted by .Council
The -waiver was granted by the
fraternity's High Council in a vote
taken by mail last September.
A unanimous vote of the Coun-
cil is necessary to grant such a
request, Clark said.
The local applied for a waiver
last March.
Regents Bylaw 2.14 asks an end
'to racial and religious discrimi-
nation in private organizations
recognized by the University and
makes Student Government Coun-
cil the official enforcing body.
SGC Votes
Last December, SGC voted ac-
cess to fraternity ,and sorority
membership requirements. They
are submitted to the Committee
on Memb6ship Selection In Stu-
dent Organizations which in turn
niay recommend action to SOC.
The waiver leaves Sigma Nu the
only fraternity on campus that
has been cited as still having an
overt bias clause. Last summer,

limited membership to "white -

Of Dangerous

NEW YORK VP) -- Symphony
Conductor Leopold Stokowski tes-
tified yest.erday the future of the
nation's 'arts is "in great danger."
Performing ' artists must have
two professions-music and some-
thing else-to make financial ends
meet, he -said.
The conductor of the Houston
Symphony told a congressional
subcommittee opening a hearing
into the economic situation of the
performing arts:
"Al operas today are under-
rehearsed and not well prepared
we are having quantity in-
stead of quality. We'll have to
have quality now because compe-
tition in the Iron Curtamn coun-
tries is so great."
Stokowski added: "The Soviet
sends over the best ballets and
operas and gives attention to the.
fine arts. They realize the impor-
tance of the fine arts.

"The performing artists (in this
country) have great difficulties
because of inflation."
Stokowski suggested some form
of legislation that would make
each state responsible for the fine
arts within its borders.
Federal, state or local aid was
suggested to promote the fine arts.
in this country.

'DOG'S LIFE':
Hom1er Survives Trnsplanting ofun
By FREDERICK ULEMAN
The dog that bounded down the corridor towards his keepers
seemed like any other dog; but actually he receives much better
tr eatment than most.
Homer, a droopy-eared hound, has his own veterinarian, his own
r egistered nurse, and his own physician. These special benefits are
bestowed upon him because he's alive and breathing.
This may not seem unusual, but he's doing it with another dog's
lung. The transplant was made five months ago and, under special
treatment, Homer survived longer than the usual three weeks.
The 'Good Life'
In reality, his life at the Kresge Research Building is probably
the best he has had. Described by one person as "-just a mongrel dog,"
Homer came from a dog pound in the thumb area of Michigan.
All dogs must be healthy when they begin participation in medi-
cal research and are kept healthy during the tests, his. veterinarian
added. Paulette S. Szadaly, who is responsible for the health of all
research animals in the center, added that it is often difficult to
obtain healthy animals.
Once researchers get a supply of animals, participants are chosen
for the various experiments. The initial group is divided by size and
