seriously affect the number going
to Michifish, since there were
three days on which students
could attend Michifish.
Trost also declared that most of
the orders already received by the
Glee Club were block orders from
fraternities and sororities and in-
cluded tickets that would go to
parents.
Chertkov said that this would1
leave a great number of students
unable to attend, and for this
reason SGC should permit the
Glee Club to hold a second con-
cert.
Thursday Suggested
A member suggested that the
Glee Club might be able to hold
its second concert on Thursday
night, It was pointed out, how-
ever, that students would prob-
ably greatly prefer a Friday or
Saturday concert to a Thursday
one.
But, a member pointed out, if
students are really interested in
the concert, they would attend it
on Thursday. Also, if Ann Arbor
citizens might provide the over-
flow, it might be possible that
they would come to the Thursday
performance.
After the motion to approve the
concert was defeated, Chertkov
accused the Council of having
neglected its representative func-
tion in disregarding the views of
the large number of students who
would not be able to hear the
Glee Club.

Foreign Study
Group Offers
New Program
The Lisle Fellowship, a non-
profit organization encouraging
travel and study abroad, has ex-
panded its plan to include a pro-
gram for high school students, in
addition to its present five pro-
grams for college students.
The fellowship, which was be-
gun in 1936, enables young people
to study and -travel in Europe.
There are alsofive programs in
the United -States.
The cost for the European pro-
gram of six weeks is $850, except
for USSR, which is $1,250. The
American program costs $300.
Further information may be ob-
tained from the Fellowship at 20
West 40 St., New York.

atmosphere will be furthered by

officers' uniforms and approxima-
tions of what people would wear
if they had only three days to live
or had been subjected to atomic
radiation.

Theta Xi's Saturday evening
open house will have a warm
homey atm'osphere. A glowing
fireplace, toasted hot dogs and
marshmallows, chips 'n' dip and
expresso by the television should
provide a pleasant, cozy evening
for all.

Alpha Delta Phi guests are
warned to be prepared for a shock
when they enter the house. The
fraternity will not divulge any
information about its mystery
party, but grim forebodings are in
th2 air. Beware.

demic pressure and lack of time
on the student's part. "The
gentlemen's C is no longer re-
spected."
Interest Lags
Nor does Tex believe steps
should be taken to counteract
student apathy. "One problem
seems to be that students have
lost interest in the type of ac-
tivities being offered," he said,
emphasizing that purpose and
direction are essential but seem
to be lacking in many activities.
"Something like Homecoming
is a, waste of time," he says.
However, he feels academi-
cally oriented activities and
those which sponsor such
events-like SGC's Reading and
Discussion Program-are good
both for individual students
and the community.
Recently, Tex submitted a
motion for discussion in Stu-
dent Government Council call-
ing for two ex-officio members
from each activity now repre-
sented on the Council and only
four elected members.
Aim: Leadership
While he realizes this plan
would present difficulties, his
aim is to focus SGC's attention
on its own membership. His
concern for the Council is to
attract the finest material the
student body offers, and he
feels that the leadership ability
is developed by the process of
rising through the ranks of a
student organization.
Self-criticism is essential to
the welfare of student govern-
ment, he thinks.
If he had it all to do over,
Tex would be strongly tempted
to concentrate on studies rather
than student government, since
"I realize that much of student
government is quite futile."
"Every year, with different
leaders, student government
changes. You get the feeling
that there is a lack of continu-
ity and even a necessity to start
over again every year," he said.
Receives Satisfaction
Satisfaction, however, comes
from having a say in policy
making, seeing red tape from a
new angle, serving as the stu-
dent's means of communication
with the administration and
faculty.
"I enjoy working with people
and feel that a part of educa-
tion is to work with faculty and
administration on the discus-
sion and committee level," Tex
declared.
One of the advantages of his
job has been the opportunity it
offers for travel. "Trips such as
the ones to the conferences
make me feel elated to discover
University residence halls are
the best in the Big Ten," he
says with pride. "Our residence
halls are better organized; we
have better food, staff and
facilities. The other schools are
so damn far behind that it's a
waste of time for Michigan to
go," he asserted, adding quick-
ly, "of course, we still have a
lot of problems."
Problems Remain
"Work still needs doing on
upper-class housing and staff
problems, to name only two," he
noted. In a recent report and
farewell address, Tex also cited
the policy regarding consump-
tion of alcoholic beverages as a
problem area.
He sees this as a main reason
why men leave the residence
halls, and feels this exodus re-
flects "the double standard con-
cerning the problem at the Uni-
versity."
He objects to student-oper-
ated radio station WCBN as an
advertiser of alcoholic bever-
ages. "Advertising alcoholic
beverages would involve the
attempt to sell a product to a
listening audience which is 90
per cent under the legal drink-
ing age," he points out.
"Why shouldn't the Univer-
sity have a realistic policy and
unofficially condone drinking,
with the possibility of clamping
down only when disturbances
are created?"
Need Heterogenity
Tex says the main purpose of
the residence halls should be
to provide an opportunity and
a place to live with a hetero-
genous group.
He thinks that of all the
houses, Gomberg in South Quad
is the only one which has met
most of the ideals set forth in
the Michigan House Plan. Gom-
berg -- where Tex lives - has
highly successful academic, so-
cial and athletic programs, he
said, and boasts that "our repu-
tation keeps the interest of the
house high.
"We always have lots of ap-
plications for Gomberg; also,
we have more upperclass stu-
dents than any other house.
Gomberg is quite similar to fra-
ternity living and yet has the
independent flavor, and lacks
the stereotype of Greek living,"
he said.
Still Studies
"In case anyone wonders, I
still have time-what with IHC,
classes and concerts--to study,
sometimes all night," Tex said.
"And I work, too-about 20
hours a week on North Campus
and in the residence halls;"
He pointed out that the bene-
fits of the University extend
past classes and counseling,
and that concerts, guest lec-
tures and seminars are great
opportunities.
"It is in areas like these that
student government can best
accomplish its purpe of serv-
ing the student," he asserted.

define the requirements. They wait
on NASA," Prof. Morrison em-
phasized.
"The basic question is should
these scientists stand up and say
what they want to do. I feel
they're waiting to be asked."
Administrative problems have
delayed the survey letters, but
Prof. Morrison explained that the
survey should be ready very
shortly.
Companies Enthusiastic
All the construction firms are
extremely enthusiastic and want
to get going, he said. "Each com-
pany is preparing to put time and
effort" into improving the practic-
I ality of the Rambler rocket.
When the results of the designs
were originally sent to various
companies to construct their own
portion of the vehicle with more
of an eye toward practical condi-
tions, "we missed on the over-all
estimate by one pound," he de-
clared.
The exhibit of the project has
been displayed at the Governor's
banquet and was 'shown recently
to the State Legislature. He said
it was favorably received at both
showings..
Prof. Morrison also said that
the staff had been prepared to
continue the first phase of contin-
ued study on University and com-
pany finances until NASA said
they had no specifications for
such a rocket.
However, many tests are still

"In this day and age we are

monetary resources on huge power
plant development and research."

Guidance Plan
The University is planning to
institute a program to identify
and encourage capable high school
students to continue their educa-
tion.
The plan, similar to an experi-
mental program of the North
Central Association, will attempt
to develop techniques for identify-
ing, motivating, and guiding the
highest quarter of the high school
enrollment so that more of them
will attend college.
The University's program is un-
der the Bureau of School Services.
The Office of Admissions, the
Scholarship Office and the Bu-
reau of Psychological Services are
also participating in the experi-
ment.
The four participating high
schools will have to administer
tests, employ certain guidance
procedures, and use this infor-
mation to nominate students for
one of three $2,000 Frost Scholar-
ships. These scholarships will be
available in September 1961.
Representatives of the four high
schools and the University will
meet in August to plan the imple-
mentation of the NCA project
findings over the next few years.
It is hoped that in the future more
high schools can be included in
the project.
firing on split-second notice as
military rockets must be.
The rocket was designed to
meet the "less stringent require-
ments of a scientific payload.
Hence, you get something cheap."
Engine Reliable
The engine, designed by Bell
Aircraft Co., is a "most reliable,
high performance" light engine,
Prof. Morrison said. The power
plant weighs only 44.6 pounds
while capable of delivering a
thrust of 16,000 pounds.
When the idea for research on
this rocket was first presented to
the University, a grant of $4,000
was given to pay for graduate
students to do calculations. The
staff contributed their time and
research. The idea of the project
was "Let's see what we can do,"
the rocket expert said.
They essentially conceived the
idea of such a rocket, developed
optimum plans for it, and turned
it over to local concerns who could
and would manufgeture it. The
University acted as a "catalyst"
to amalgamate the companies into
an organized machine, he pointed
out.
'U' Would Finance
At the present time, the Univer-
sity would like to finance 50 pay-
loads in Ramblers over a five-
year period. If NASA had given
the University some type of speci-
fications, six rockets would have
been built and tested by now, Prof.
Morrison revealed.
The National Academy of Sci-
ence has offered to serve as an
impartial judge of the replies as
to whether the rocket is practic-
able, if the survey is started, he
said.
Is there a need for the small
rocket? "There is no doubt in my
mind. Somebody will make it, if
we don't."
However, the delays thus far
have been rather disheartening to
a person who believes in the pro-
ject, he said.
"You can only wait so long and.
do so much," he regretted.
