The act makes it unlawful for
interstate motor carriers to sub-
ject an individual to any "undue;
or unreasonable prejudice."
It further reads, "If a Uus carrier.
volunteers to make terminal and
restaurant facilities and service
available to its interstate pas-
sengers as a regular part of their
transportation and the terminal
and restaurant have acquiesed ani
co-operated in this undertaking,
their terminal and restaurant must
perform these services without dis-
crimination."
In the Boynton vs. Virginia de-
cision of Dec., 1960, the Supreme
Court upheld this part of the act.
The case arose when a Negro law
student, who refused to move into
the colored eating facilities cf a,
Virginia bus terminal, was ar-
rested and convicted.
When the case was appealed to
the Supreme Court, Justice Hugo
431ack, presenting the majority
decision, affirmed the student's
right to remain in the white por-
tion of the restaurant because, in
this case, the terminal and res-
taurant operated as an intregal
part of the bus company facili-
ties for interstate commerce pas-
sengers.
HSU Changes
Drinking Rule
Michigan State University has
revoked its ruling calling for auto-
matic suspension of students pos-
sessing or consuming alcoholic
beverages on campus or in uni-
versity-controlled buildings.
In the future, all disciplinary
action will be left to the student
judiciary board.
The new regulation will be put
into effect on a one-year trial
basis, MSU President John A.
Hannah said.
The East Lansing school has,
in general, more stringent dis-
ciplinary rules than the Univer-
sity.
Educators
View Lack
Of Teachers
By CAROLINE DOW
University educators see little
chance' of correcting the teacher
shortages reported by the latest
National Education Association re-
port on "Teacher Supply and De-
mind-"
"In spite of the need, the Uni-
versity is caught in a budget
squeeze and efforts will be less
than they should be," Dean Wil-
lard C. Olson of the Education
School said.
The NEA report found the
greatest shortages in the elemen-
tary level and in the areas of
mathematics, physical sciences
and foreign languages. However,
a fargreater number of teachers
enter the secondary level in the
social science fields.
To correct the general teacher
shortage Dean Olson would like to
see the other schools and colleges
admit more students. This would
allow a greater number of tu-
dents to transfer into the educa-
tion school:
To reverse the trend toward
social sciences, the University
counselors are steering undecided
students in the other shortage cur-
ricula, Prof Lowell Beach of the
education school noted.
In addition, the University of-
fers National Science Foundation
fellowships for a year's study to
strengthen the background of
present science teachers, Dean Ol-
sen said.
FOREIGN EDUCATION:
Europe Influences Indonesian Education
(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the
third in a five-part series on for-
eign education.)
By GLORIA BOWLES
Its former status as a Dutch
colony has made European influ-
ence felt in higher education in
Indonesia, although changes made
by the Sukarno government have
somewhat modified that stand-
ard.
Soetarjo Soepadi, Grad, of Ban-
dung, Indonesia, said the major
governmental changes in higher
education in Indonesia not only
involved a concern for student
welfare, but also had budget im-
plications.
Former policies allowed almost
complete student freedom. Class
attendance was not required and
studying was encouraged but not
forced. The five dollar a year tui-
NAACP Plans
Campus Drive
The Campus NAACP fund-rais-
ing drive will be held by volunteer
workers in the central campus
area today through Thursday.
Funds from the drive will be
used for "Operation Freedom." a
long-range plan for aid to families
in Fayette and Haywood Counties,
and for the National Scholarship
Service and Fund for Negro Stu-
dents which provides scholarships
for Negroes entering integrated
colleges and whites attending pre-
viously all-Negro schools.
tion at most Indonesian universi-
ties was invoked for only the first
four years.
Not Much Homework
"I had a lot of free time when
I was in school," Soepadi said.
"We don't have much homework
in Indonesia, and following the
Dutch example of free study, it's
up to you whether you work."
With the Indonesian government
considering its pocketbook, it could
not afford to support two or three
extra years of education and still
concerns itself with the education
of the student population, so a
major reform was brought about.
Toughening up requirements,
the government has now made
student class attendance compul-
sory for the first two years of uni-
versity education.
Need Facilities
A lack of good facilities in-
cluding books, libraries and lab-
oratory equipment makes the In-
donesian students' work difficult.
"Sometimes there are only two or
three books in the library related
LSA Committee
Picks Members
The literary college steering
committee announced yesterday
the selection of its new members
for the 1961-62 academic year.
Newly elected chairman Ruth
Galanter, '63, said the new mem-
bers are Madelaine Bates, '63,
Robert Finke, '63, Katherine Si-
mon, '64, Edwin Sidman, '64, and
Richard Verdi, '62.
to the course you are taking," Soe-
padi explained.
A large proportion of the stu-
dents are women. A suffrage move-
ment in Indonesia, coming in the
early,'20's, meant that "from that
time on it was very common for
women to go to school," Soepadi
said.
There are about ten govern-
ment supported universities and
30 or 40 private schools concen-
trated in the larger towns, so stu-
dents are able to live at home.
Private schools are often situ-
ated close to public institutions,
and facilities are shared.
Every student is officially a
member of the school's student
council. The council aims at im-
provement of faculty-student re-
lations. Student complaints con-
cerning grades and curriculum and
similar faculty grievances all come
before the organization. Councils
also arrange lectures to supple-
ment class work.
