are varied: they find information'
on the University in college cata-
logues; they hear about the Uni-
versity's reputation or they have
friends that go here.
How do these students from In-
dia, Pakistan, Lebanon, Venezuela,
Brazil, Egypt and countries all
over the globe gain entrance to
the University?
Accredited Universities
First, they must have had at
least one year at an accredited
university or the United States
equivalent, a Swiss certificate of
maturity, a French baccalaureate,
or any diploma worth thirty hours
credit to the University. One rigid
requirement is financial security.
The student must have $2,800 for
each calendar year of study, and
the officials of his government
must allow this money - to be re-
leased to him in American dollars.
Scholarships are too limnited to be
counted on and too hard to get.
Top Stratum
Academically, the student must
be in the top stratum of his class
and he is told so when he first ap-
plies. The varied grading systems
in different countries are hard to
evaluate, but the University has
set up certain standards with the
help of the Health, Education and
Welfare Department in Washing-
ton and the help of the American
Association of Collegiate Regis-
trars and Admissions Officers.
There is no central admissions
office for foreign students. Each
letter or inquiry from abroad is
sent to the applicant's prospective
school except Architecture and De-
sign, Education; L i t e r a t u r e,
Science and the Arts, Music, Nurs-
ing and Pharmacy. The inquiries
for these six schools are handled
by the Admissions Office.
When and if grades, health, and
finances are all satisfactory ac-
cording to University standards,
JAMES A. DAVIS
. . . admits students
the student in question then takes
the English Language Institute
(ELI)proficiency exam in his own
country.
In 1958, a new program was set
up whereby the exam is sent to a
reliable examiner who lives within
about 75 miles of the student's
home. This examiner administers
the exam and receives five dollars
of the $10 paid by the student for
taking the exam.
Either the student does so bad-
ly that he must study with a tutor
so that he can do better on an-
other try at the exam or else he
does well enough so that he may
carry the required academic load
of twelve hours plus other ELI
courses.
All foreign students must take
and pass six hours of English,
equivalent to the English 123-124
requirement for American stu-
dents at the University.
English 120 helps bridge the gap
between where the student is and
where he will find himself in En-
glish 123, Mrs. Pauline E. Goodale
of the Admissions office says.
There is a section of 123 for for-
eign students only.
"Knowledge of the English lan-
guage is definitely the greatest
barrier the foreign student faces,"
Mrs. Goodale acknowledges. "But a
new problem has become just as
important. That is the financial
problem many of the students
face."
Welcome Letter.
Once the English test is passed
satisfactorily, the University for-
mally accepts the student and
sends him a "welcome letter"
signed by Davis. A Certificateof
Eligibility is also sent to the pros-
pective student so that he can ob-
tain his student visa. Some coun-
tries require that the student be
admitted to an educational insti-
tution besides enrolling in ELI,
before leaving his country, and
will only isue a student visa on this
condition.
Out of the 1,436 foreign students
at the University there are 520
foreign graduate and undergradu-
ate engineering students. To en-
ter, they go through approximate-
ly the same procedures. But gradu-
ate student applications go before
a graduate committee of profes-
sors in the applicant's special field.
The committee reviews the ap-
plication and communicates the
decision to the particular school
to which the student is "applying.
Most graduate schools follow this
same procedure.
Once the student has arrived, he
is sent to the International Center
for a special orientation program.
He is shown around the campus,
given another ELI English test and
an X-ray.
Union To Discuss
Population Growth
Sends Film
To Nigeria
The University Television Cen-
ter has sent 68 half hour programs
to the Eastern Nigeria Broadcast-i
ing Corp., which will soon begin
programming.I
The programs were bought fromr
the University because few insti-3
tutions produce such a quantity of,
television films at the nominal
price available.,
The University programs will
be unsponsored, although other1
programs on the Nigerian network
will have them. Since English is
the major language in the coun-
try, no translation is needed.
"Man the Maker," an engineer-
ing series of 15 films; Progress of
Man, 10 films dealing with an-
thropology; Profile of Space, a 10 1
part astronomy series; Nuclear
Age, 13 shows on atomic energy;
and Quest and Conquest, a pro-
gram on general science with 20
parts, are the series chosen by the
Nigerian network.

Africa and related issues.
ORGAN IZATION
NOTICES
By SANDRA SANDELL
ITHACA-The Cornell Univer-
sity Commission on Discrimina-
tion last week presented the fresh-
man class with a statement of the
university's. policy on discrimina-
tion.
Any undergraduate organiza-
tion which practices categorical
discrimination on the basis of
race, religion, or national origin,
or whose practices have this ef-
fect, will be denied university rec-
ognition.
Organizations which have na-
tional discriminatory practices
have been required to remove them
by September, 1963.
The Interfraternity Council and
the Commission on Discrimination'
have found that such mechanisms
as specific clauses, gentlemen's
agreements, "especially accept-
able" clauses, unit rules and fra-
ternity rituals can have the ef-
fect of categorical discrimination.

PROVIDENCE--Brown Univer-
sity last week cancelled its pre-
viously announced plans to force
a court test of the ban on Henry
Miller's "Tropic of Cancer."
President Barnaby C. Keeney
said that although the univer-
sity is very much interested in
the question of who should de-
cide whether a book is obscene, it
is not particularly iterested in a
fight to consider the obscenity of
the novel itself.
According to Keeney, no way
has been found to decide the first
question without becoming involv-
ed in the second.

The members of the student
peace research semiar, under the
direction of J. David Singer of
the Mental Health Research In-
stitute, considered a final inter-
national relations model and then
went on to view the nature of
conflict Tuesday..
David McLeod, Grad, presented
an ecological model of interna-
tional relations. He defined ecol-
ogy as the study of relationships
between organisms and their en-
vironment. "The physical ele-
ments involved are light, land, air
and water; the biological elements
are animals and plants."

Taking four areas of conflict in
the world today, McLeod fitted
them into his model.
Congo Discussion
The first area was the Congo.
"The basic problem here is that
the major resources of the coun-
try, copper and uranium, are
mostly found in Katanga. Various
outside factions are trying to con-
trol these resources and this is a
cause of conflict," he said.
Turning his attention to the
struggle in Algeria, McLeod ex-
plained that theoretically there
was enough oil in Algeria to make
it worthwhile for France to con-
tinue the struggle. "However, this
may change in the future as new
fuel sources are developed and
the Algerian oil is used up."
Racial Trouble
The third area examined was
the Union of South Africa. "The
country has been able to get away
with its racial troubles due to its
abundance of gold and diamonds.
However, the Soviet Union is mov-
ing into the diamond market, and
if they start undercutting South
Africa she might be forced to
change her racial policies, he in-
dicated.
Communist China was the last
area considered. McLeod said that
her present food shortage is due
to typhoons which deviated from
their usual course and hit China
instead of Japan, ruining China's
grain and rice crops.
Nature of Conflict
The group then turned their at-
tention to the nature of conflict.
Using terms of game theory Sing-
er declared that the trouble with
many personal conflicts is that
people approach them with a zero
sum attitude and don't go beyond
this to a non-zero sum approach.
To illustrate his point Singer
pointed to a paper cup on the ta-
ble. "When two people are fight-
ing over this cup and both have
the attitude that either one or
the other will get it they are look-
ing at the problem from the zero-
sum approach. When they decided
to cut it in two so they both have'
a piece they have gone beyond
this to the non zero-sum ap-
proach."

(even.from the rarely seen col-

filmed Lust for Life-the story
of the tortured life of Vincent
Van Gogh.
This film makes any other
telling or retelling of Van
Gogh's life impossible, for it is
not only the best exploration to
date of a painters life and art,
but it is an exploration and a
revelatin of a soul in agony
that rings intensely true. Kirk
Douglas, whose astonishing re-
semblance to Van Gogh seems
to have deeply, involved him in
the role, exhibits his character-
istic ferocious and gentle inten-
sity with such extraordinary
conviction. that he and Van
Gogh actually merge. Douglas
has not received sufficient rec-
ognition for his' earthy yet elec-
tric portrayal of this haunted
man whose ruthless introspec-
tion and fierce desire to make
his oils speak led not only to
great, vibrant paintings, but to
madness and suicide.
Nor has Anthony Quinn's
Gauguin (again note the resem-
blance) received the praise itj
deserves. Quinn, too, by becom-
ing the independent and impa-
tient, selfish yet sympathetic
painter who finds himself in-
extricably involved in his
friend's tragedy, brings the
same kind of aliveness to this
In the spring of 1960 the
Museum of Modern Art garden
was the scene of a remarkable
exhibition. Jean Tinguely, a
neo-Dada artist, revealed his
masterwork, a machine called
Hommage to New York, which,
or perhaps we should say, who,
before the amazed spectators
played music, painted pictures
and then destroyed them, gave
birth to another machine which
hobbled away after some des-
perate obstetrics, and then
committed suicide by fire. Sam-
uel 'Butler's argument in Ere-
whon, that machines were the
coming species in evolution and
would replace man, received
dramatic support from this so
far unrepeated demonstration.
Our short subject pays tribute
to his prescience and Tinguely's
ingenuity.
Last summer Herbert Vesely's
