Requirements May Change For English (Continued from Page 1) With better students, the Uni- versity may also be able to offer programs to permit the student to work more individually, perhaps making use of television and teaching machines, but placing primary emphasis on books, Prof. McKeachie added. Following Prof. McKeachie's talks, Dean Glenn V. Edmonson 'of the engineering college ex- plained that his school was giving students an opportunity to parti- cipate in research projects, bring- ing in known specialists to sup- plement the faculty, and encour- aging interdisciplinary study. The research projects, financed by government and industry, are selected according to their educa- tional contribution. The funds re- ceived from these projects pres- ently exceed $4.6 million. To dem- onstrate the amount of facilities devoted to research projects, Dean Edmonson pointed out that only 9.5 per cent of the engineering college's space is classrooms, while laboratories make up 67 per cent. Next Dean William N. Hubbard, Jr., of the medical college empha- sized that a set schedule of courses for those planning to enter medi- cal school was no longer rightly required. Dean Hubbard indicated too that there was an increasing interest in quantitative as opposed to de- scriptive study in the past 25 years. Cohen Gives Observation OnKennedy By CAROLINE DOW "Kennedy will be a great presi- dent," Prof. Wilber J. Cohen, as- sistant secretary of health, edu- cation and welfare, predicted in a recent interview at his Ann Ar- bor home. "He is the one man whose re- sponsibility is to think of the na- tion as a whole. He sees, under- stands and is willing to carry out that role. He enjoys it," Prof. Cohen, who is on leave from the School of Social Work to draft Kennedy's bills, said. "In drafting bills we try to take into account both what is needed and what is feasible," he said. The finding of a balance between the need for the bill, attitudes toward it and its cost is the "art of leg- islation," Prof. Cohen added. Defines Goals "However, if we only asked for those things available that would not be leadership. A good presi- dent can define and illuminate the needs of the people so they can express them. We work out the details and the President de- fines the goals," Prof. Cohen said. This first set of bills going through Congress now are the product of the brainstorming for the task force which Prof. Cohen chaired, That task force confined itself to meeting the immediate needs of the country, as did the bills going through, Prof. Cohen explained. As soon as this session is over, Prof. Cohen and Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare Abraham Ribicoff will "proceed to organize new task forces into temporary brain trusts. Through this we are tapping the best brains in the nation to decide what to do next." Exploit Knowledge "In this first task force we just exploited our knowledge and back- ground. We had what we wanted to do in our mind's eye. The Pres- ident just organized those of us who knew how to do it." The previous administration lost a whole year studying the na- tion, instead of finding men who had been studying the nation's problemsright along, he said. Prof. Cohen, the only Univer- sity faculty member to receive an appointment, ran into Congres- sional opposition in his confirma- tion. A woman supported by the John Birch Society "criticized my views and intentions linking my support of irrelevant concerns with Communist infiltration in the government." He was confirmed last week, however. "We ought to get working by September 1 on next year's pro- gram," Prof. Cohen said. "One has to eat three meals a day. Leg- islative matters are much the same thing. It is only possible for the legislature to digest the most immediate and pressing needs. We will try to meet them." Seeger Mixes Varied Tunes (Continued from Page 1) "Now this song has nothing to to with politics," Seeger said. "Yet it reflects the frustration of negro slavery in the south." Mixing the old and new in his program, Seeger created a range of songs from the traditional; "John Henry" to the southern Sit- in theme "We Shall Overcome". But perhaps he struck the deep- est note with the audience when he said, "I'll let you take this any way you want to take it," and proceeded to sing "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen."

By GERALD STORCH A new family of flags for the University is well on its way to- ward completion for the June com- mencement, according to a letter from Professor-Emeritus Walter J. Gores, their designer and pro- ducer. There will be 20 different flags: one for the University itself, one for the Board of Regents, one for each of the Ann Arbor colleges, one each for the Flint and Dear- born branches and one for the President. This project wil cost the Univer- sity about $4500 for materials and Prof. Gores' labor, minus $1000 from last year's senior class gift which was donated toward this undertaking. Interested in Flags Gores first became interested in flag designing in 1954 when he was on the faculty of the archi- tecture school. He had "long notic- ed the lack-luster character of the University flag of that time" and decided to do something about it. Asked by University officials to submit some rough sketches on his plans for redesign, Gores form- ed a drawing in which the 16 fields of learning at the University were symbolized on the left of the flag with a red shield surrounded by a yellow sun in the middle on a field of blue. This new design was approved by the Regents in 1955. This basic interpretation of what an educa- tional flag should consist of led Gores to redesign the rest of the flags of the various University units. Previous Display The previous display of the flags at commencement consisted of flags from nations to symbolize the world-wide distribution of the VanderVoort Names Musket Board Heads Steve VanderVoort, '62, Musket general chairman, anounced ap- pointments to the Musket Central Committee yesterday. Appointed were Ellen Greene, '62, assistant general chairman; Diane Hirsch, '63, assistant direc- tor; Gail Goldboss, '63, office man- ager; Mark Comora, '63, tickets; Neil Beirbower, '62, and Elaine Wender, '63, productions; Isaac Schulz, '63 and Jody Wilford, '64A&D, promotions; Barbara Fleischer, '63 and Phyllis Plotkin, '62, dance; Sandy Lehrer, treas- urer. Also chosen were Jack Garret, '64 and Stacy Feingold, '63, pro- grams; Bob James, '60M and Rona Wolk, '62M, Music; Sue Heyman, '62, props; Dee Sanders, '62D, cos- tumes; and Dick King, '62, sets. The first Central Committee meeting will be at 7 p.m. tomorrow University's alumni and its posi- tion as one of the great univer- sities of the world. However there were usually dif- ficulties in procuring all the neces- sary flags and a glaring dichotomy in the size and character of these flags. Therefore Gores thought it would be much "more useful, con- venient and pertinent for the Uni- versity to have a whole set of flags expressive of its educational objectives as achieved through its administrators and colleges." Proposes Basic Design Gores proposed to use the same basic design he had for the Uni- versity flag and extend it to all unit flags: a "union" of the edu- cational ideals in symbol on the left of staff side and a profile symbol of the general function of the particular college in the mid- dle, all overlaying the University colors of maize and blue. Extensive conferences were held with administration officials and deans of the various schools who after suggesting "some minor ,re- visions" for his plans approved them. Then he began his "long, ar- duous and novel" undertaking. His first step was to make "ac- curate working drawings of them." Next, thorough research was re- quired on data from the United States Bureau of Standards on exactly what colors should be on academic hoods and tassels. Uses Rich Silks Rich silks had to be obtained which bore these colors. After the difficult effort of digging up such specimens was over, the third and final stage began-the actual con- struction of the flags. First came the "economical cut- ting" of the material and the tracing of the motifs on the silk. Next the marked out pieces of cloth were correctly arranged and pinned together to prepare for "the complicated and quite dif- ficult sewing operation. Flags Carefully Cut Then, the excess cloth was carefully cut off and the flags fringed with "ripening maize" to be fitted with the poles, cords and tassels to become the standard parade or ceremonial flag. Now residing near San Fran- cisco, he has had a "personal and intimate perspective" on his pro- ject-to express in cloth the "aesthetic symbols of man's search for truth, beauty and goodness at the University." Shapiro is a history major from Chicago, while Miss Robson is from East Lansing, Michigan. Marlene Michels, a junior ma- joring in journalism from Melvin- dale, succeeds Dorothy Morrill, '62, as copy editor. Eliminate Positions Three positions on the business staff, accounts manager, staff manager, and sales manager were eliminated by a reshuffling of the senior positions on the editorial staff. The junior positions were integrated enabling the staff to work on both business and edit sides of the publication. "This change should make the Junior staff function more effec- tively and enable the entire staff to utilize its members more fully," Ron Peters, '61E, member of the. Board in Control of Student Pub- lications, said. Senate .Defeats Appropriation Incrteases (Continued from Page 1) tax' places the blame for the aus- tere education budget on their heads." But Harold Ryan (D-Wayne) said that "the Republicans knew all along that we weren't going to support the nuisance tax. "Our vote against the tax was a protest vote. We wanted to show the public that the blame for the insufficent education appro- priations lies with the Republi- cans." The bill as approved by the Sen- ate will go to the House Ways and Means Committee Monday. The committee then is allowed two weeks to work on these bills. Worked Closely The Ways and Means Commit- tee has worked closely with the Senate Appropriations Committee and it is likely it, too, will reject an increase in the higher educa- tion appropriation, Rep. Gilbert Bursley (R-Ann Arbor) said. Bursley, "in the hopes of ob- taining another $10 million or revenue," yesterday introduced a floor amendment that would have extended the six cent cigarette tax, but it was defeated. Rep. Russell H. Strange (R- Isabella) later proposed a similar amendment which would extend the telephone tax, another of the "nuisance taxes" which expire June 30. It, too, was defeated.
