Generation hopes to alleviate this condition by having the New Poet Series widely, distributed and Lardas reflected. "He has a great feeling for the Greek spirit which he can express in generalities be- cause he is completely Greek. Al- though. my 'heritage is Greek, my culture is American, so I can best express the spirit of my poems by particular Greek images. In the volume's title poem, what he terms one of his few "Ameri- can" poems, Lardas applies Greek images to the theme of his grand- father working on a roofing job in the family business in Pitts- burgh. '"When I have a strong desire to put .any feeling into writing, it .is most natural that the poem have some sort of Greek basis such as 'therpreoccupation with fire and water," Lardas ex- plained. Word.,Sounds Lardas believes that while his earlier., poems P concentrate on imagery, his later works empha- size word sounds. "I realize now that there is not just one way to write a poem. "When I re-read my early poems, I view their themes in.a new light and I want to express them. differently. :But they were written in the spirit of the mo- ment. To change them would be a betrayal." SGC Defines Function of Student Government Council passed a motion Wednesday night. defining the power of the calen-. daring committee upon the re- quest of that committee. Other action included passage of -a motion from the Committee on United States National Student, Association, a presentation con- cerning student life insurance and a report.on the student employees association.' The Calendaring Committee re- quested that SGC define the limits of their power. In response, Coun- cil passed a motion, proposed by Sherry, Miller, '65, which reserved for SGC the right to approve stu- dent sponsored activities and gave to the Calendaring Committee the right to schedule the events. Barry Bluestone, '66, reported that there should be some form of student employee association. Some of the factors to be con- sidered are the recent increases in dormitory rates and the higher. minimum wages at several'" other state universities, he added. (Continued from Page!) However, Rea stressed that once Congress frees the funds a flock of new loans will be possible. He and Streit are still continuing to interview students seeking NDEA loan assistance for the current school year., An NDEA loan provides up to $1000 each year of undergraduate or graduate studies with a $5000 limit. Loans here average $600. The borrower can repay any por- tion of the loan without interest until one year after he graduates. 'He then has 10 more years to pay the remainder at three per cent annually. There are no restrictions on use of the money, although the finan- cial aids office administrates it closely. More than 1000 students here received over $500,000, in NDEA funds last year. Congress provided $447,000. The remainder came from matching and repayment monies. Streit Request Last December, Streit submitted a request to Washington for $800,000 to cover the current school year. After - processing the application, the Office of Educa- tion "assured us in the spring that if Congress passed its appropria- tion as anticipated, the University Uses Emergency Loan Funds 'I In the first few years, no single institution was allowed more than $250,000 annually. The University, due to its enrollment, netted the maxium amount. Raise Ceilings In late 1963, Congress raised the institution ceiling to $800,000 and passed a supplementary approp- riation for the 1963-64 school year. Rea and Streit, who'"had filled the $250,000 quota, submitted more applications and were awarded additional funds. While the 1964-65 appropriation lags, Congress is nonetheless pass- ing an expanded program. It has cleared both Houses with slight variations. An identical bill must be molded in conference commit- tees which are not yet named. The NDEA extension program, effective this year, would elimin- ate the $800,000 institutional bar- rier. It would also enlarge the total program from its pending $136 million level to $163 million. So, although Rea said, "we are trying to get students to accept only minimal amounts right now," the University may wind up re- ceiving more Congressional money this year than the stalled bill con- tains. Rea has had a distinguished record at the University as both a student and administrator. He was an All-American basketball player here in 1922,, the year of his graduation. He became Dean of Men in 1952. The appointment to director of financial aids came in 1961 when the Office of Stu- dent Affairs was restructured along functional lines and the dean system abolished.

Him Too; In Us*' will begin the series in October, is 'completing his doctoral studies in compara- tive literature and teaching , Eng- lish at the University. "His metaphysics is that of the pre-Socratic philosophers, with that special Greek continuity which combines the most archaic Hellenic thought about water, fire and family with the most tradi- tional and yet speculative form of Christian thought-that of Hel- Warren of the English department lenic Orthodoxy," Prof. Austin writes in his introduction to Lar- das' poems. - Still Vividt Lardas was born in Pittsburgh' and lived only two years in Greece. In 1931, at the age of four, he visited Greece and can still recall" vivid scenes of that period. In 1962 he returned to study at the University of Athens. "The professors there were like unap- proachable gods," Lardas remi- nisced. "I missed the exchange of ideas between teacher and student that one finds in American univer- sities." Behind him were four years at the University of Pitts- burgh, one at Columbia University. where he received his M.A., and two years at the University. Striving for -personal contact with Greek poets, Lardas quit his studies in Athens and sought out Seferies, winner of a Nobel Prize, Ritsos, a leftist poet and Nikos Gatsos. His friendship with this surrealist poet greatly influenced Lardas' poems. Greek Heritage "Everything he wrote seemed beautiful because it was in Greek,", Across 'U' Bands Schedule Year's Activities AID DIRECTOR REA share would be $700,000," Streit said. During the'spring and summer, while the bill lay dormant in Con- gress, the Office of Financial Aids began accepting accplications for assistance. Rea and Streit promised ap- proximately $500,000 worth of loans. They anticipated the bill's approval long before fall. It hasn't yet passed and the Office of Edu- cation tie-over is insufficient. - Loan Reserves So they turned to an emergency loan reserve, established by a large bequest, to make.up the temporary difference. They are asking students who do not need money immediately to await the Congressional action. Administrators have been mak- ing continuous adjustments to changes in the NDEA loan pro- gram since its inception in 1958. It was established in 1958 as part' of an act "to strengthen the na- tional defense." The original ap- propriation, for 1958-59 was only $47.5 million with $75 million allocated in 1959-60. The current stalled appropriation calls for $136 million. Read aily Classifieds 4 Michigan Room Women's League 'j Non Tam. Pares, Quam Superi- ores--"Not As Good As, But Better Than," .is the motto of The. Uni- versity of Michigan Bands. This year , approximately 400 students will attempt to prove the validity of this motto. They will be involved in either one or more of..the four bands sponsored by the University: The - Michigan Marching Band, The University Symphony Band, The Varsity Band and the Wolverine Band. The Michigan Marching Band, under the direction of Prof. Wil- liam D. Revelli of the . music school, traditionally is an all male organization made up of approxi- mately 185 members. Any quali- fied male student on campus, re- gardless of school or college, may obtain membership. On to State The band appears at all home football games and campus pep rallies. This year the band will also accompany the football team to both the Ohio State and Michi- gan State games., The band has received acclaim fron several sources including feature films, television and na- tional magazine articles. Last, year Revelli also received an invitation to participate in the Tattoo (mili- tary band competition) at the Edinburgh Music Festival in Scot- land. This was the first such invita- tion to be issued to an American college group, and although the band was unable to attend, it hopes to take advantage of such invitations in the near future. The University's Symphony Band is the principal concert band on campus. This organization each year presents several con- certs in Ann Arboroften in con- junction with national music con- ferences. These concerts feature guest artists and conductors, as well as the finest in band litera- ture. An annual spring tour to various parts of the United States is a gan Day ceremonies at the New York World's Fair. And in 1961, the United States Department of State chose the band to represent the nation on an extended cul- tural exchange tour of the Soviet Union and the Near East. The Varsity and Wolverine bands are open to all qualified students in all colleges and schools of the University. These activity bands play concerts, perform at many campus athletic events and annually combine with the Sym- phony Band for an outdoor con-. cert. ai I I * OUR RAGTIME ARTIST IS BACK BAR PRESENTS FRANK KUNTZ and his RAGTIME PIANO Every Tues.-Thurs. & Sat.
