THE MICHIGAN DAILY TUESDAY. Davis Views Recent Trends take the initiative and "go more than halfway," he said, "or else the situation will continue." The survey also found that 43 per cent of the foreign students felt a less favorable social status at the University in comparison to their home country.

Immediate radiation, mainly in' the form of neutrons, can kill persons close enough to the bomb center. Cites Solution Other persons, exposed to radi- ation, should be helped. Contam- inated clothing should be removed and treatment started. These per- sons, Teller stated, should not be denied admissions to bomb shel- ters as radiation is not contagious like diseases. Teller explained that the. pres- ent amounts of radioactivity are so small that animal experiments show no effects. He said that persons are con- cerned about the small, amount of Strontium-90 found in milk. But, he explained, people could still consume safely 100 times more. Lethal Limit Donald P. Van Farrowe, Michi- gan public health- official, said that a reading of 1,000 micro- microcuries of radiation in each meter of atmosphere is considered the limit for human beings. But, he added, that authorities would be worried long before any such level were reached. Previous. readings as high as 50 were record- ed during periods of extensive nu- clear testing. For years, Teller said, radioac- tivity can rain down around the earth in the form of long lasting radioactive atoms, such as Stron- tium-90. Radiation added from increased tests has only increased this. shower about two per cent. Speaking off the cuff, Prof. Gordon told the freshmen to en- joy their life at Michigan and not be overwhelmed by the thought that Michigan is an "academic" institution. The University is con- cerned with solving the problem of boredom through work and ro- mance, he said. "Classes and lectures serve as an excuse for the other side of University life. The administra- tion and the Deans Offices are just as involved in non-academic affairs as the faculty is in spread- ing knowledge. Most students," Prof. Gordon said, 'major in onte or the other. of these areas." Work Majors "People who major in work have no problems in lectures and class- es, though they may find the weekends tedious. The romance majors, on the other hand, are on the losing end because Week- ends are so far apart. Prof. Gordon then initiated the freshmen into the hub of campus lore-the Fishbowl: "that all glass enclosure between Haven and Mason Halls with the palm trees. Fishbowl Submersion "Stand by the wall of the Fish- bowl after Christmas vacation and watch all the girls go by with that Michigan look-tan raccoon. coats, yellow slickers, tennis shoes and white socks. You can sub- merge yourself very easily," he said. "But if you buy this conformity you have no one to blame but yourself. Open Graduate 'Math Course The business administration school is offering a new course this semester to help graduate students, deficient in mathemat- ics prepare for the school's mas- ter's degree, Dean Samuel R. An- derson has announced. The course, "Fundamentals of Quantitative Methods, Statistics 490," aims to raise graduate stu- dents' mathematical proficiency to a level equalling Mathematics 241, "College Algebra and Plane Analyne Geometry." Oriented toward the solving of business problems, the course deals with the theory and practical ap- plication of college algebra and analytical geometry. The University awarded 351 of the 10,500 doctorates which the' United States Department of Health, Education and Welfare estimates were granted during the 1960-61 academic year. This represented an increase of 70 over the 281 doctorates granted by {the University during the 1959- 60 academic year. During that time the nation's schools awarded a total of 9,800 doctorates. The 281 doctorates awarded dur- ing the 1959-60 academic year put the University in fifth place among the nation's colleges. Columbia University was first, followed by] Harvard, the University of Illi- nois and the University of Cali- fornia at Berkeley. Most in Education At the University during the 1960-61 year education led the fields in which doctorates were awarded with a total of 40. It was followed by psychology with 27. Chemical and metalurgical en- gineering awarded 21 doctorates; chemistry, 21; social psychology, 14; English language and litera- ture, 13; electrical engineering, 12; physics, 11; speech, 11; zoology, 11; pharmacology, 11; and history, 10.i During the second semester of 1960 1,725 people were working to- wards graduate degrees in educa- tion making it the field with the largest graduate enrollment. It was also the largest during the second semester of last year al- though the number enrolled had dropped slightly to 1,713.

Maier, '62, announced yester- day. The primary aim of this for- eign and American student group is the formation of international friendships and mutual under- standing and respect for the ideas of representatives of all parts of the world, Maler said. The fee for one semester mem- bership is $1.00. Cards are obtain- able in the International Center and the ISA office, 2125 SAB. Membership cards will also be sold at the first International Mixer, at 8 p.m. Sept. 29, in the Women's Athletic Building. ToaImmunize Against Flu Health Service will give influ- enza immunization shots Thurs- day, Dr. Morley Beckett, Health Service chief, has announced. Dr. Beckett stressed that there is no epidemic in sight, but the United States Public Health Serv- ice said two weeks ago that influ- enza may be more prevalent this fall. Because of "considerable inter- est," Health Service will admin- ister shots between 8 and 11:30 a.m. and 1 and 4:30 p.m., Thurs- day. Two shots are required for immunization, Dr. Beckett said, so another session will be scheduled later. If there is enough interest, other times also will be arranged.
