This program, directed by Prof. D. Maynard Phelps of the business' administration school, is designed for students desiring specialization in international business and for 1 those who feel that knowledge of foreign trade, investment and fi- nance is necessary for an executive position in modern business con- cerns. Additional instruction is the intention of the business program, and four new courses have recent- ly been added to the graduate curriculum: international econom- ic relations, international market- ing, international finance, and management of international oper- tions. Students in the international program will also become familiar Mills Says Conferences Aid Marking Parent-teacher conferences should be held at the end of each marking period to supplement the report card parents receive from the schools, says Prof. William H. Mills of the education school. Mills feels that in an objective discussion parents can best learn how their child stands. The con- ference, he adds, should be con- ducted at a time when neither the parent nor the teacher is hurried to end the interview because some- one else is waiting. If the interview involves a high school student, sometimes the stu- dent and his parents can benefit from sharing in the conference with the teacher, Mills says. Need Preparation "In any case, to walk into a conference cold, without any pre- paration on either side, could be a disappointment," he warns. The parents should take notes during the conference, or the teacher should prepare an out- line for the parents in advance, Mills advises. "After the conference, the teach- er should keep a record of what he talked about, what commitments were made-to continue the lines of communication for further talks, as needed, by parent or teacher." Value to Child "The value to the child is the important thing," says Mills. "It helps the teacher understand the child better. It helps the parents understand that their child is im- proving if the grades are only C or D." Mills suggests that, after par- ents understand the weaknesses of their child, they can help him at home. PROF. D. MAYNARD PHELPS . . . program director with cultural and political factors which affect international busi- ness operations, and will be ex- pected to acquire proficiency in foreign languages. Enrollment in the business ad- ministration school includes many foreign students, and their pres- ence is considered stimulating and valuable for international under- standing. The international business pro- gram concentrates on teaching, but also undertakes research. Prof. Carl H. Fischer of the business administration school has recent- ly spent seven months in the Phil- ippines at the request of the Phil- ippine government, where he in- vestigated the social security pro- gram which he established in 1957. Social Security students at the University. The business administration school en- rolls some Asian students each year, and the countries in which Asian alumni later work differ from the United States in stage of industrial and economic develop- ment, as well as social, political and cultural conditions. Thus it is impirtant that the University education meet their needs when they return to their own countries and begin business, government or teaching careers. Interview Alumni Prof. James D. Scott of the bus- iness administration school will interview business administration alumni in Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, Thailand, Philippines and India to determine their eval- uations and any possible sugges- tions for curricula changes in this training. The findings of this study, which will be carried forward in the next few months and completed next October, should aid those involved in planning curricula and teaching materials for Asian students en- rolled in the business program. The experience gained in ad- ministering this study should also help determine the utility of sim- ilar research as a means of secur- ing feed-back from business ad- ministration alumni in other for- eign countries. Club To Sponsor Chess Exhibition The University Chess Club will sponsor a "gang attack" against leading British chess player Geof- frey Martin of Ypsilanti today, with registration beginning at 7:15 p.m. in Rms. K-N of the Michigan Union. There will be an entry fee of $1 for non-members, and 50 cents for members. Entrants are urged to bring their own sets and boards. Fraternities Represent Pro fess ions By KATHERINE PAYANT "The professional fraternity is a specialized fraternity which con- fines its membership to a specific field of professional or vocational education in colleges and univer- sities and maintains mutually ex- clusive membership in that profes- sional field but initiates members of the social college fraternities." This definition of professional fraternities is found in Baird's Manual, a national publication which catalogs fraternities. There are over 1400 chapters throughout the world. Over 700,- 000 members have been initiated since the first law fraternity, Phi Delta Phi, was founded at the Uni- versity in 1869. Home Base The University has been the mother of other professional fra- ternities, among them the dental fraternity Delta Sigma Delta and Nu Sigma Nu, a medical fraternity. At present the University recog- nizes nineteen professional frater- nities and of these, thirteen have1 houses. The professions of medicine, dentistry, law, pharmacy, archi- tecture and business administra- tion are all represented. Three of the fraternities are social and havei members in many different fields. Each house aims to aid the, members in advancing their pro-, fessional knowledge. This is done, by various programs of speakers, tours, and projects which enable the students to hear and talk with leading men in their fields. Classroom Work Some of the dental fraternities provide laboratories where mem- bers can complement their class- room work. Most houses have li- braries where professional jour- nals and supplementary textbooks are available. The constant opportunity to talk with students studying in a simi- lar field is the biggest advantage a professional fraternity offers its members. Athletics and social events are not neglected, although not as much stress is placed on them as in social fraternities. Most of the houses participate in the intra- mural program. Social events are usually handled by each brother contributing a certain amount to- ward expenses. Few houses have a social chairman or social budget. More Independence The professional fraternities at the University operate more inde- pendently than the social ones. However, they are required to sub- mit financial statements. Still clas- sified as student organizations they are required to get approval for social functions. They also are required to have the names of their members registered every semester. Professional fraternities have no special rushing time. When a house wishes to rush it merely announces this fact in the particu- lar school with which it is con- cerned. . _---- - PROF. MERRITT M. CHAMBERS private institutions Chambers Sees Future OfColleges Private colleges will grow and prosper everywhere, Prof. Merritt M. Chambers of the education school predicts. Prof. Chambers, a visiting pro- fessor and a member of the Center for the Study of Higher Educa- tion, says that these schools are "reputable and well-managed" and expects them to have "more stu- dents, buildings and money than ever before." He points out that gifts to these private schools have steadily grown, and "are now running at the rate of about one billion dol- lars a year." However, he warns, this private- college expansion will not solve the problems of public schools. Despite their growth, the proportion of all students they will be able to ac- commodate will probably continue to decline, he predicts. "The public institutions will be forced to expand at a more rapid rate than private institutions will be able to maintain," because of the projected increase in enroll- ments, he explains. CAREER COUNSELING: Bureau Determines Students' Abilities (Sixth in a series) By MARILYN KORAL "The Bureau of Appointments Career Counseling Service at- tempts to aid students to deter- mine their abilities and their lim- itations, provide them with in- formation on career opportunities and assist them in procedure to follow for securing employment," Sydney Dykstra, University Career Counselor, said recently. The office counsels undergrads, alumni, drop-outs, students from other schools and adults seeking help. "The greatest number of counselees are upper-classmen and by major, those in the English, foreign language and social science areas," Dykstra said. Typical of the problems the ca- reer division deals with are those concerning students who have transferred from other schools to the literary college and need ca- reer advice. Other students who have questions about job oppor- tunities for individual academic programs are counseled. Plan Travel Inaddition, the career coun- seling office has information to aid those who plan to travel to other cities in the nation or abroad and are seeking occupational as- sistance. Various resources are at the disposal of the office, Dykstra ex- plained. Directories, such as those designating the literary market place, are "fertile ground" for em- ployment recruitment reference. The office carries on corre- spondence, requesting information on continuous openings, with many agencies and firms through- out the country. Job briefs are sent to the bureau periodically by personnel divisions in certain areas of employment. These briefs help to provide practical job in- formation for students and alert the office to opportunities, Dyk- stra said. Placement Annual "The office makes extensive use of the College Placement Annual. The Annual is published by the Across Campus College Placement Council, a na- tional career counseling group. Al- though the counseling office does not place students in specific jobs, it is able to indicate what pos- sibilities are open to them through use of the Annual," Dykstra ex- plained. Special employment categories are cited in the publication. Among the categories listed are govern- Prof. Kenneth L.

I Prof. Fischer also made studies of the social security systems of Australia and New Zealand. Another research project now being sponsored by the interna- tional business program is an ap- praisal of the professional busi- ness education received by Asian Roberts Notes Success Of. A ustralian Telescope By MICHAEL SATTINGER "Using the Parkes radio-tele- scope in New South Wales, Aus- tralia, we have been able to collect a great deal of data in the last few years," Prof. James A. Roberts, research physicist at the telescope station, said at an astronomy col- loquium recently.- The radio-telescope, sponsored by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Organization, has a dish with a diameter of 210 feet. By aiming the dish towards a galactic or extra-galactic body or groups of bodies in space, the ra- dio-telescope personnel can detect the electromagnetic radio waves emitted. One of the main projects of the radio-telescope is a source survey, Prof. Roberts said. In a source survey, the sky is scanned a k a' I tq to find the location of sources giving off intense radio waves at different wave lengths. Study Milky Way Also, the galactic plane, the plane in which the Milky Way lies, is being studied. The center of the galaxy has already been mapped at several frequencies, he added. Another project investigates magellanic clouds. These are ir- regular galaxies of stars close to the Milky Way galaxy. Most ma- gellanic clouds are found in the southern sky, which makes it pos- sible for the radio-telescope to cover them. Other projects involve readings on normal galaxies and measure- ments of radio sources occultated by the moon. Normal galaxies are those without a strong radio emis- sion. Normal Galaxies At present, four normal galaxies have been discovered with the emission coming from a small source near the nucleus rather than from a halo around it, Prof. Roberts noted. The purpose of measuring the radio source occultations is to de- termine accurately and with high resolution the radio emission in- tensity distribution. One major field of study for the radio-telescope is linear polariza- tion of radio sources. Polarization occurs when radio waves from a source are predominantly aligned along one axis of a magnetic field. Galaxies are one source of pol- arized 'radio emission. Also, with- in our own solar system, the planet Jupiter is a polarized source. Mentioning future work, Prof. Roberts said, "we hope to measure the velocities of nearby galaxies.- (Continued from Page 1) policy. One study of 91 institutions found only five that had com- mittees concerned with academic policies. This reflects the strong tradition that the board should concern itself primarily with fi- nances and physical plant." Four Year Terms The report stated that there is a trend towards terms of about four years for trustees with a limit on the number of re-elections and a definite, enforced retirement age. Some schools like Harvard and Western Reserve University have created dual boards. Harvard has i i a small executive board with a larger group of overseers with a veto power. The overseers sit on visiting committees that continu- ally appraise the functioning of the university. Western Reserve has one board for administrative and one for educational problems. Criteria for selecting trustees presents the problem of "whether political considerations or per- sonal wealth influence trustee se- lection unduly." Also most in- stitutions believe that faculty should not become members of their own boards. 'Old Grads' In addition some observers have criticized boards made up entirely of alumni "because of the great inclination of some 'old grads' to resist any change in their be- loved college." The report states that non- academic people misunderstand the role of trustees. "They con- ceive of the board as the pin- nacle of a power hierarchy. No- thing could be farther from the truth. The heart of the university community is the men and wo- men who carry forward the uni- versity's central tasks of teaching and research."

Prof. Marion' S. DeDeese of the Medical School and Dr. Daniel C. Hunter, Jr., of Ogden, Utah, re- ported on their innovation at a recent meeting of the Western Surgical Association in St. Louis. The filter, a grid of 10-16 dac- ron, "harp-strings" placed in the stomach allows fluid blood to trav- el to the lungs, but arrests the pas- sage of clots until they dissolve. Prof. DeWeese and Dr. Hunter have tested the filter for five years, during which 17 out of 24 patients on whom the grid was tried survived, while the seven fa- talities were attributed to causes other than the passage of clots to the lungs.
