Faculty
Teach-in\ELI Policy: Separate Foreign, American Students
Begins Tonight
Bipartisan Group To Protest Over
Teachers' Action, Attack Policies
By ROBERT MOORE
There will be tired eyes and lively discussion tonight when the
Faculty Committee to Stop the War in Viet Nam puts on its all-
night, all-morning teach-in to consider alternative positions to
present American foreign policy.
But there will also be dissent. A bi-partisan group of "about 100"
will demonstrate at 8:30 tonight in front of Angell Hall to protest
"propagandizing under the guise of education," announced Alan
Sager, '66L, a member of the Executive Board of the University
Young Republicans.
Sager said that members of the group will question speakers at
conferences and speak out in defense of government policy at the
- midnight rally planned by the
l Faculty Committee.

EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first article in a two part series ex-
ploring the English Language institute's policy of not allowing their
students who live in the quads to room with Americans.
By BRUCE WASSERSTEIN
While fierce debate rages over the deleterious effects of reduc-
ing the percentage of out of state students, many of the people
who truely give the University its cosmopolitan atmosphere, the
foreign students, are separated from Americans by the official
policy of the English Language Institute (ELI).
The ELI teaches English to about 125 foreign students each
semester. Although most of them come 'from Latin America,
students also hail from Japan, Europe and Africa.
Among the group are teenagers who wish to learn English
so that they can enroll for a degree at an American university,
businessmen who find English a necessity if they want to com-
municate with the executives of the American companies in their
countries and foreign scholars who seek to put another language
under their belt.
Divergent Experience
This group, whose divergent experiences and backgrounds
help to offset the latent provincialism of a' state university may
not, however, live with American students. Rather, they must
room together in residence halls or live in off campus apart-
ments. Even after coming to the University and meeting an
American who would like to room with them, the ELI students
are prohibited from doing so by official policy.
What is the rationale behind these restrictions?
First there is the financial problem. Although as one ELI
teacher said, "Finances are a mechanical problem," it seems to
cog up, at least superficially, the possibility of Americans rooming
with ELI students. As director of the residence hails Eugene Haun
explained, "The ELI rooms are under a different rental agree-
ment than the rest of the dorms."
Different Rents
However, Haun noted that the ELI rooms, which are physically
the same as the other rooms in the quad, cost more (about $520 per
semester) than the comparable rooms in which Americans live
($450 per semester) because of the extra service the ELI students
get at their dining tables and the difference in the formula
tabulating the rent-ELI room rates are based upon a daily basis
while the rooms of regular University students are based on a
flat fee,
Americans can not move into rooms with ELI students as
the situation stands now, according to Haun, because the separate
residence hall accounts can not be mingled.
According to a policy statement of the ELI administration
specifically issued this week to answer this question: "The prob-
lems involved arranging for ELI students to have American
roommates are numerous and such arrangements usually have
not proved of sufficient value to try them again."
ELI Policy Statement
For example, ELI administrators pointed out that very few
American students are interested in having two and sometimes
four different roommates during one year which would be neces-
sary due to the eight and sixteen week lengths of ELI sessions.
However, the administrators noted, "If the ELI had its own
housing in which 25 to 38 per cent of the students were Americans
selected because of their interest and adaptability, the situation
would be different and would probably prove valuable."
Furthermore the ELI administration claims that in some
cases the. boarding of two foreigners together is more beneficial
to the students than having them room with Americans.
As the system now operates in the residence halls, ELI officials
noted, the foreign students get some exposure to Americans who
live on their floor and can meet others at the specially assigned
dining tables for ELI students.
Despite these arguments from the ELI administration, one
ELI student remarked, "When Americans go to Europe they do not
wish to meet Americans, and when I come to America from Mexico
to learn English I want to meet Americans and not Mexicans."

Course Evaluation Booklet
To Appear in Sunday's Dail
By LILLI VENDIG
The long-awaited course evaluation booklet will be distributed
as a supplement to the Michigan Daily on Sunday, March 28. It also
will be sold the following Monday for ten cents.
This booklet was initiated as a joint effort by seven student
groups, including the Michigan Daily, Graduate Student Council,
the Women's League, the Michigan Union, Interfraternity Council,
Panhellenic and Assembly.
The purpose of the booklet is to give students a basis for
selection of courses. The booklet fill focus University-wide attention

Descriptions of courses from de-
partments of the literary college,
as well as a few for courses from
the business administration and
music schools are contained in the
booklet. Most of the evaluations
are of introductory courses and
courses with large lecture sections.
There are evaluations on some
small recitation sections, but none
on seminars.
The evaluations describe types
of teaching methods, readings and
examinations: They relate stu-
dents' feeling on the relative dif-
ficulty of the courses, how up-to-
date the course material is, and
whether or not the 'courses are
generally worthwhile.
The evaluations are drawn up on
the basis of questionnaires dis-
tributed at the end of January.

Experts Say Space Program Advances

81,000 Mile Trip Takes Under
Five Hours, Called 'Textbook Flight'
CAPE KENNEDY ()-Virgil Grissom and John Young flew the
world's first maneuverable manned space ship three times around the
earth yesterday, only missing their landing taxget by about 58 miles
when the capsule parachuted into the Atlantic ocean.
Aircraft sighted the capsule floating in the water. One of the
planes dropped pararescue divers who swam to the vehicle and
secured it with a flotation collar.
The pulsating flight, in which the astronauts flew their space
capsule backwards, forwards, sideways and upside down was an effec-
tive rehearsal for long-duration and rendezvous flights planned for
the two-man Gemini program in the next few months.
Truly Historic
The Mission Control Center termed the flight "truly historic" and
said it demonstrated the extraordinary maneuverability of the Gemini
craft.
Grissom, an Air Force major who became the first man to rocket
into space twice, and Young, Navy lieutenant commander, were in
the air 4 hours, 54 minutes in a
flight that covered more than
81,000 miles.
In what was described as a
"textbook flight," they exper-
ienced only a few minor tech-
nical difficulties. Grissom report-
ed that their ship, the "Molly
Brown," responded well to his
control and that he was able to
steer it all over the sky with ease.
