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.

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. of suicide pills and the happy atmosphere will be furthered by a luminous mushroom - shaped cloud on the horizon of the dining room.

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.

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 uosIc sHors ' --CAMPUS- 211 S. State NO 8-9013 -DOWNTOWN- 205 E.

"In this day and age we are spending our technological and monetary resources on huge power plant development and research." Scientists are bypassing one of the "most vital areas," that of small rockets. The Rambler was not built for perfectly accurate aiming or for ''1ToInstitute 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.
