By ARTHUR LEVY
The African Scholarship Pro-
gram of American Universities is
presently sponsoring three Afri-
can students in their studies at
the University, James Davis, di-
rector of the International Center,
said yesterday.
The full-time students in the'
program are Isaac A. Adalemo, '64,
and E. Ojo Arewa, Grad, both from
Nigeria. Emile W. A. Zola, from
the Congo and presently in the
English Language Institute, Will.
be entering the literary college
next semester.
Those who receive scholarships
are selected, Davis said, not only
on the basis of applications and
academic requirements, but also
from personal interviews with a
bi-national panel in the student's
native country. This panel consists
of local educators plus American
Latis To Hold
Regional Panel
A panel of Latin American stu-
dents will discuss, "What is the
Future Direction of My Country?"
at 7:30 p.m. today in the, Multi-
purpose Rm. of the UGLI.
The program, sponsored by the
International Student Association,
is the third in a "regional" series.
The discussion will be moderat-
ed by Prof. Edward Stasheff of
the Speech Department.

college officials sent by ASPAU,
eight of whom left last week for
East Africa to begin final selec-
tion for next 'year's scholarships.
Commitment

The University has not yet
agreed to take on more students in
the program. "We have a commit-
ment," Davis said, "to continue
the tuition scholarships of those
already here, as long as they main-
tain good academic work until
they get degrees.
The scholarships, which cover
all expenses from the time the
student leaves home to the time
he returns with a bachelors de-
gree, are financed jointly by the-
student's country which pays for
transportation, and the United
States Government which pays in-
cidental expenses and room and
board, and the school which pays
the tuition and fees.
The program was organized by
David D. Henry,. director of the
International Students Office at
Harvard University, to help emerg-
ing African nations meet their ed-
ucational needs. He considers it
successful due to the close coop-
eration of American and African
officials in selecting participants
and in providing funds to cover,
most student expenses for the
four-year period.
Student Success
Success is also indicated by the
high grades of the original twen-
ty-four students who entered the
program when it was initiated two
years ago.'
Out of 2,700 applicants to the
program, 300 students will be
chosen; 100 to 150 of these are to
be selected by the eight officials
who left last week.
'Center YPlans
Final Exercise
The University Dearborn Center
will grant its first degrees to 13
candidates this winter.
The 11 men and two womeh rep-
resent the first graduating class in,
the history of the center.
The Dearborn students will be
among the approximately 1,660
graduates who will attend Mid-
year Graduation Exercises Jan. 20
in Hill Auditorium.
The center, which is now enter-
ing its third year, opened in Sep-
tember, 1959. It was the first major
institution to operate on the tri-
mester basis in the state.
It also- operates on the work-
study program for students in bus-
iness administration and engineer-
ing.

Catholics Start
New Spiritual
Peace Corps
Bt MALINDA BERRY
There is a new movement for
peace on the campus. Along side
the already existing programs,
such as demonstrations on the
Diag and seminars, a group of
Catholic students at the St.
Mary's Student Chapel have been
quietly praying for peace for hours
each day.
The Spiritual Peace Corps, at
the moment, consists of 750 stu-
dents who have promised to re-
ceive Holy Communion once a
month and to spend a half an
hour a month in prayer at the
student chapel.
The only complaint that has
been voiced by the participating
students is that not enough is be-
ing asked of them.
At the beginning of the second
semester the program is being ex-
panded to include weekly half
hour prayers.
Heading the committee in charge
of the program are John Hensel,
'64L, and Joanne Bahna, '62Ed.
Stndents Faithful
Generally speaking the students
have been very faithful in living
up to their promises, the Rev.
Fr. John F. Bradley, chaplain at
St. Mary's, said.
Some students have others take
their place when they cannot at-
tend. Still other students call the
Newman Center and ask if a sub-
stitute can be found.
"Our struggle is not against
mere men," Hensel explained, "but
against powers and principalities.
We are waging a battle which is
not merely economic, political or'
military. It is a struggle for men's
souls."
Peace Goal
"We are asking those who are
able, to sign up for the open per-
iods so that our goal of perpetual
adoration for peace from morning
to night each day may be achiev-
ed. In this program St. Mary's
Student Chapel has extended to
all its members an opportunity to
make their contribution, both in-
dividually and as a community, to
the plea for a Christian peace,"
Hensel said.
Father Bradley says the program
is "not spectacular" but demand-
ing. It has a "terrific potential,"
he believes."

'LARGER COMMUNITY':
ACWR Seminar Cites
Roles of UN University

By H. NEIL BERKSON
A former atomic chemist for the
government who "got tired of all
the secrecy," spoke to a sociology
colloquium yesterday afternoon on
"Micro-Simulation of Social Sys-
tems."
Prof. Richard L. Meier, of the
School of Natural Resources and
Research Social Scientist for the
Mental Health Research Institute,
summarized ideas which he re-
cently presented in a symposium
on "The Teaching of Systems
Thinking" held in Denver.
According to Prof. Meier the
concept of "simulation" as devel-
oped in the last ten years has
great potential as both a teach-
ing device and a means by which
to increase the efficiency of a so-
ciety.
Scaled Models
This process creates scaled mod-
els of various aspects of socie-
ties complete with people in lead-
ership positions. Then situations
are simulated, data is computed
and results are projected into real-
ity. Participants learn a great deal
by being involved with institutions
that they could normally only read
about. Data collected can be used
to suggest improvements of the
situation under study.
Micro-simulation is basically
the same process minus the com-
puters. Studies of simulation re-
ports convinced Prof. Meier that,
"Over and over the computer got
in the way in the sense that it
made human decisions too me-
chanical."
He has attempted to work out a
process whereby the scales are so
small that computers are unneces-
sary.
Three 'Games'
These scales have been success-
ful in three simulation "games."
Camp To Give
Music Recital
The National Music Camp youth
symphony and ballet has been in-
vited by Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy
to perform on the lawn of the
White House next summer.
The group has accepted the in-
vitation providing funds are avail-
able.
Dr. Joseph Maddy, founder and
director of the camp, offered to
take the ballet along with the or-
chestra if a suitable dance floor
could be set up.

"Wordsmith, Ltd." uses the struc-
ture of language to portray sit-
uations in business management.
"Pacific Express" uses the history
of the transcontinental railroad to
teach "fundamentals of history,
geography, and the building proc-
ess for large decentralized corpor-
ate structures." "Wildlife" in-
volves population dynamics and
evolution.
Government, industry, and ed-
ucation are already making use of
the simulation process, and Prof.
Meier believes that all three will
make increasing use of its advan-
tages in the future.

FRIDAY E
"THE
BR!I DGE"


By KEN MILLER
A central purpose of a United
Nations University would be to
create loyalties to a community
larger than the national "father-'
land."
This was the consensus reached
last night at the seminar on the
objectives and functions of such
a university conducted by tne
Americans committed to World
Responsibility.,
At the University there are
American students and foreign
students. At a UN University, no
one would be foreign. This UN
University would be an important
step in the loosening of national
ties; and thereby, would augment
international understanding.
Prof. Robert C. Angell of the
sociology department, one of the
three faculty resource people at
the seminar, mentioned that the
world has never been convieved'of
as one society by sociologists.
'Liscenture'
Prof. Angellfurther pointed out
that on~e of the biggest problems
of a UN University would be that
of "liscenture." It would be a long
time before this type of university
could produce doctors and lawyers
who would be accepted in their
home countries.
Julian Gomez, an Eastern Michi-
gan student and author of the
"working papers of the UN Uni-
versity," countered that the whole
idea of a UN University has been
oriented with respect to the under-
developed nations, and if the
people trained are interested in
helping these nations, they will
not be overly concerned about de-
grees.
Discussion of the type of per-
son who would be attending UN
University caused many to agree
that the greatest effect the es-
tablishment of such a university
would be a symbolic one.Students
interested enough to attend would
probably already have a good
understanding of international
problems.
Gradual Steps
Prof. Inis Claude of the political
science department suggested that
many of the problems which a UN
University attempts to solve might
be solved on a local level. If the
plan proves immediately unfeas-
able, gradual steps could be taken.
The initial stage would be train-
ing people for the UN Secretariat
and then having them return to
their countries.
When the, question was asked:
How could a UN University be
made "practical," the heterogen-
eous seminar group was ready with
answers. Some participants in dis-
cussion were citizens of countries
in which two and one-half per
cent income tax is levied for life

on those who attend national uni-
versities.
It was also suggested that the
UN University could conduct some
successful industrial operation.
Eric Svenson, an archetict work-
ing for the Detroit City Plan Com-
mission, told of the world's need
for over 200 million housing units.
He suggested inexpensive housing
as an industry which would be
both profitable and beneficial to
the world as a whole.
The fourth seminar will be held
today at 7:30 p.m. in Rm. 3529
SAB. The main topic for discus-
sion will be "Characteristics of a
Untied 'Nations University." Prof.
Richard Meier of the conservation
department will be a participant
in the discussion.

Winner of three awards at
the Cannes International Fes-
tival-for the best production,
best acting, and best musical
score - Symphonie Pastorale
follows faithfully the novella of
Andre Gide. A middle-aged pas-
tor who is unconsciously es-
tranged from his family and
who finds an outlet in fervent
religious zeal, takes into his
household a wild blind girl who
has been found in a rural soli-
tude of his parish. Under his
tender care she develops into
an attractive, intelligent young
woman, ignorant of the world
and the evil he tries to shield
her from. He tells her that the
world she cannot see resembles
Beethoven's Pastoral Sympho-
ny, which has so moved them
both. The inevitable tragedy in-
volves four people in ruin.
Gide's novella, a masterpiece of
psychological penetration, mor-
al purity, and tragic irony, is
most sensitively transferred to-
the screen in this outstanding
production.
WhileUncle Tom's Cabin did
not, as Lincoln inferred, pre-
pare the fuel for the Civil War,
no other novel has had greater
contemporary social import-
ance; and few American books,
of any kind, have been so wide-
ly read. Macaulay, Heine, and
George Sand reviewed it; only
the Bible has been translated
into more languages than the
37, in, which readers on every
continent have formed pictures;
of America from Uncle Tom's
saintly piety, Simon Legree's
sadism the nlib-ht nf near..white'

of situation and an innate
plausibility that carried con-
viction. She declared that it
was written by G9d. God and
Byronism were indeed her
touchstones of thinking and
feeling; in Uncle Tom's. Cabin
they were harmonized - the
conflict for Mrs. Stowe came in
later life, when, receiving the
confidence of Lady Byron, she
published the story of Byron's
incest, another act of Victorian
courage.
Every American should read
Uncle Tom's Cabin. Van Wyck
Brooks has said that it created
the Southern novel, as opposed
to the Southern romance, and
that after three generations,
Southern writers have had to
reckon with the picture.
Unfortunately, in its very year
of publication (1852) Uncle
Tom's Cabin was dramatized
without the author's permission
by George Aiken. This crude
melodrama swept the stage and
was perhaps as important an
influence as the novel in gener-
ating resistance to the Fugitive
Slave Act, but apart from this,
little can be said for it; and it
is this version that has domi-
nated the American conscious-
ness and is argued over by
people who have never read the
novel. Film versions clung to it;
and though the huge 1927 pro-
duction by Carl Laemmle went
to lengths to restore original
atmosphere by location shoot-
ing, the "colossal" film we are
showing this weekend is essen-
tially a denictinn nf thep nlav
