PROFESSIONAL TRA INING: Organize Social Work Program Walker Gets Top A ward For Studies FEWER BELOW 'C': Academic Dropout Rate Shows Decline in LSA TONIGHT at 8: FRITZ A. ROTHSCHILD Rabbi, Author and Lecturer speaks on the philosophy of ABRAHAM JOSHUA HESCHEL sponsored by the Bet Midrash of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America at the B'nai B'rith Hillel Foundation 1429 Hill St. Plans for a two-year specialized program of professional graduate education in community organiza- tion were announced recently by the School of Social Work. The program is being partially supported from a grant to the University from the National In- stitute of Mental Health, accord- ing to Dean Fedele F. Fauri of the social work school. Both concentrated academic work and field instruction leading to a Master of Social Work degree will be offered, he noted. Many Areas Professional preparation for work in a variety of areas will be provided. These include work in juvenile delinquency prevention and control, race relations, urban renewal, community welfare plan- ning councils, neighborhood de- velopment, community mental health, school-community rela- tions and federated fund raising. The program will be under the direction of Prof. Jack Rothman of the social work school. He will be assisted by Prof. Fred M. Cox of the University of California, who will assume a full-time faculty position with the University in January. Prof. Rothman noted that com- munity organization practice dif- fers from social casework in that Colgate Votes 'New Semester Faculty members at Colgate University recently approved three major changes in its undergrad- uate education program, including a shorter semester. A curriculum change requiring a shift from the credit-hour to the course load system has also been adopted. Under this plan, students must take four courses in each of two semesters of 14 weeks. Semesters presently require stu- dents to carry five courses for a 16-week period. A third change requires students to participate in a special studies period of four weeks during Jan- uary. These changes, which will be implemented in Fall, 1964, are the first structural revisions at Colgate in 18 years.rThe board of trustees gave its approval to the plans last June. from individuals with pre-profes-i sional community experience. Both men and women are eligible for candidacy in the program. Applicants will be evaluated on the basis of academic achievement and personal potentialities for community organization practice. Scholarships and grants will be available under the program, in- dluding stipends from the NIMH. Graduateassistantships may also be obtained. Leary Predicts Faster Rate Of City Growth City Planner Robert M. Leary observed last week that "pressures may be building up" which could cause Ann Arbor's rate of popula- tion growth to overtake previous long-range forecasts. The factors cited were future in- creases in University enrollment and the accompanying growth of faculty and staff, growth of pres- ent local research industries, num- ber of employees and growth of new research industries which will locate in the city in the near future. Using a graph correlating over- all city population figures and University figures for the past 60 years with the recently quoted University estimates, the City Planning Commission concludes that the over-all city population could hit 110,000 by 1980.

These decisions are the awarded a Research Career Award most difficult to appeal success- from the United States Public fully.

DEAN FEDELE FAURI . field instruction it takes place in a community setting and is geared to social change, rather than to individual clinical therapy. Integrate Work He pointed out that the new program will stress integration of community organization practice with social science content. Op- portunities for additional advanc- ed study leading to a Ph.D. degree in social work and one of the social sciences-sociology, social psychology, economics or psy- chology-are also available. Prof. Rothman encouraged in- quiries about the program from undergraduate students as well as wide competition. Prof. Walker's research has made significant contributionsto the basic study of memory storage and has led to some possible breakthroughs in the field. Ability to Recall Results of his research have shown that what one learns un- der emotional stress is harder to remember immediately than a week later. Conversely, things one stores in his memory under rela- tively unemotional conditions are easily recalled immediately after storage but rapidly forgotten. This suggests that the human memory is not stored instantan- eously. Permanent storage appears to require a substantial period of time for the fixation process to take place. "Prof. Walker has played the central role in developing our un- dergraduate program in psychol- ogy that has been acknowledged nationally as a model of teaching and research integration," Prof. Wilbert J. McKeachie, chairman of the psychology department, com- mented. Encourages Research "Since the new undergraduate curriculum established under Prof. Walker's leadership is now in full swing, we feel it of the utmost im- portance that he be given the op- portunity to continue his re- search," he pointed out. Prof. Walker joined the Uni- versity faculty as a psychology in- structor in 1947. He became an as- sistant professor in 1948 and an associate professor in 1950. He was promoted to a full professor in 1956. He received his bachelor of arts in 1938 and his master of arts in 1940 from Indiana University, and his doctor of philosophy in 1947 from Stanford University.

Also, students not on pro- bation whose grade-point falls "catastrophically" or shows a long-run decline may receive NTR's, he explained. In addition, NTR's are given to students doing badly in one field -language, for example-so that they would lack the distribution requirements for graduation, Dean Robertson added.

Those who have submitted petitions are: Thomas Brown, '66L; Bart Fore- man, '64; William Hall, '64E; Alan Sager, '65L, and Meredith Spencer, '65. Interviewing will take place at 9 p.m. tomorrow. The number of NTR's given rose slightly last year. The 1962-63 figure was 447; the 1961-62 figure,, 436. -Probation is imposed the first semester a student's overall grade- point slips below C. 240 students T achieved this dubious distinction last year, 62 less than in 1961-62. -Probation Continued is the status of students who have been on probation but are allowed to, remain even though their overall average has not yet risen to a C. 273 students fell into this category last year, 48 more than in 1961-62. -Freshman Probation, a class by itself, involves students whose first-semester freshman grades fall below C. 393 freshmen met this fate last year, 11 less than in 1961-62. Grand Totals The total number of students below C average last year as of last spring was 1062, or 12.6 per cent of the college's enrollment. In 1961-62, 1119 missed this mark -a total of 13.7 per cent of the THE MICHIGAN UNION presents JAZZ andCIDER featuring the 20-piece U of M JAZZ BAND directed by Bruce Fischer SATURDAY, DEC. 7 ... 4:00 P.M.

The college last spring lost 214 of its students, or 2.6 per cent, for academic reasons; in 1961-62, 254, or 3.1 per cent, were dismissed. Dropout figures for the present semester-with its tighter sched- ule which some claim is placing greater pressure on University students-are not yet available. Thus, whether or not the trend toward academic longevity will continue remains to be seen. Colleges Offer New Courses New ideas in honors courses have been put into practice at the University of Oregon and the Uni- versity of Colorado for the 1963-64 academic year. Among these is a course entitled "Science and Society," taught by a chemistry instructor at Oregon. The object of the course is to re- late scientific thought and action to other areas of intellectual and human endeavor. Guest lecturers have occasional- ly been drawn from the Oregon campus and other universities as well as from government and in- dustry. "Readings in Problems and Pros- pects for Peace" has received en- thusiastic acceptance at the Uni- versity of Colorado. An interdis- ciplinary course revolving around discussions of well-known books concerned with peace, it was insti- tuted with the belief that the problem of achieving peace has not yet received sufficient atten- tion. Faculty members from various departments are invited to take part in the weekly discussions. De- partments which have participated include economics, sociology, psy- chology, physics, history and law. Due to its popular reception, a proposal to convert the course to a non-honors program is current- ly being discussed.
