Bob Lana Ngpe -" TuMne, 0* - 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. ACWR Panel To Consider Algerian War Americans Committed to World Responsibility will present a pan- el discussion entitled "Three Views on Algeria," at 7:30 p.m. in rm. 3-C of the Michigan Union. Partipicating on the panel will be students from France, Algeria and Guinea. The discussion will be conducted entirely in French. The program is the second in a series of-.discussions in French on 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. * * * MADISON - Wisconsin Assem- blyman Nile Soik recently attack- ed the appointment of Gilbert C. Rhode to the University of Wisconsin Board of Regents charg- ing that Gov. Gaylord Nelson is attempting to "pack the Board with so-called liberals.", Gov. Nelson explained that he is interested in selecting those that will do the best job in meet- ing the problems confronting the university. importance 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. U I THE U-M YOUNG REPUBLICAN CLUB Presents REP. JOHN B.

PEACE SEMINAR: Students View Relations v'________________________________ * STARTS FRIDAY * You'l live every wild wonderful minute of its brash excitement .SWM P"tir e3nG W~fAU6'IMONG By RONALD WILTON 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." PAID ADVERTISEMENT presents Thursday and Friday NO MORE FEELING 7:00 and 9:00, Saturday and Sunday LUST FOR LIFEw 7:00 and 9:00 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."

PUBLIC INVITED - NO ADMISSION CHARGE The Anniversary of Pearl Harbor BRIG. GEN. HOWARD T. MARKEY Commander 126th Fighter Interceptor Wing (Air National Guard) Now a prominent Chicago Attorney and Lecturer speaking on "ARE WE AFRAID?" Lust for Life . meaning dense partner attempt In 1956, MGM brought to- to deliver a piano to a hilltop gether some 200 paintings by !house,.is ranked as one of their Van Gogh from collectors and.,top-notch comedies. museums all over the world (even.from the rarely seen col- lection in Moscow), and they 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 avant-guard film, On These Evenings, was greeted enthusi- astically by a captious Daily reviewer, who preferred it to De Sica's Bicycle Thief, which shared the same program. En- couraged, Cinema Guild booked No More Feeling, Vesely's most ambitious work to date, a por- trait of the agony of man in the atomic age.
