United Fund
Nears Goal
Recent collections and pledges
have raised the United Fund total
to $257,018, 68 per cent of the
goal.
The campaign ends Tuesday.
Chairman Charles A. Hoffman
said that at least 90 per cent of
the total must be reported Mon-
day if the campaign is to reach its
goal of $377,916 in the cleanup
period.
Success is possible but it de-
pends upon the success of the
University division, Hoffman ex-
plained.
The University division has re-
ported only 38.4 per cent. of its
$95,200 total.
'The final city-wide progress re-
port will be made tomorrow aft-
ernoon.

CELEBRATE INDEPEN

By PETER STUART
During Homecoming when the
University is on display, it becomes
especially apparent the school is
indebted to a number of generous
off-campus interests for the "ex-
tras" which make it a great in-
stitution.
Although the University is state
supported, funds appropriated by
the Legislature only provide for
day-to-day operational costs. Stu-
dent fees also merely help defray
running expenses.
.Money for important items,
ranging from student scholarships
to faculty awards is supplied by
alumni, corporations, foundations,
bequests and gifts. Acting as co-
ordinator between all these sources
and the University is a busy or-
ganization known as the Univer-
sity's Development Council.
Board Directs
The Council, with its offices in
the Alumni Hall, is directed by a
36-member board. The majority
are alumni but the administration,
faculty and students are also rep-
resented. Student councilmen are
John J. Ross, '61, and Susanne L.
Rockne, '60.
Gifts and grants to the Uni-
versity totalled $11,834,967 during
1958, of which $1,418,127 came
from alumni. These figures rank
the University as one of the very
top tax-supported institutions in
the country in terms of gift in-
come.
The Council's principal work is
cooperating in fund appeals with

the volunteer alumni committees
across the country, representing
some 185,000 University alumni.
Many Contribute
"Of the total number of alumni
about 15-20,000 contribute to.their
alma mater each year," Richard
L. Kennedy, Council field repre-
sentative, pointed out.
"One of our aims is to help
present students sense a responsi-
bility for maintaining the Uni-
versity's high standards when they
become alumni-not necessarity by
helping financially but by partici-
pating in alumni activities."
Building this sense of obligation
on the campus is one of the fore-
most goals of the ,Council's stu-
dent committee. Headed by Ross
and Miss Rockne, the group- is
studying the tactics of colleges and
universities which show wider
alumni responsibility and then is
applying these methods here with
the aid of the established campus
organizations.
Call for Increases
Future plans call for stepped-
up activities by the student arm
of the Development Council.
A large portion of the money
gathered by the Development
Council is devoted to retaining a
high quality student body, through
scholarships and student emer-
gency financial aids made avail-
able from the Dean of Men and
Dean of Women.

standing faculty members each
year. Without these awards, the
University would have no tangible
means of recognizing special fac-
ulty achievements.
Has Discretionary Funds
A sizeable fund to be employed
by the University president at his
discretion is constituted of coun-
cil-furnished funds. In the past,
the President's Fund has been
used for such projects as the Uni-
versity Press Building on Maynard
Street and museum and library
purchases.
The Council furnishes funds for
the vital basic research being car-
ried onut on the campus in many
fields. In fact, the University's
first organized appeal for money
was the Michigan Memorial Phoe-
nix Project, a research study for
peace-time uses of atomic energy.

The Development Council was
established in 1953, after the orig-
inal Phoenix campaign which
raised $8,000,000 had demonstrated
the importance of an organized
fund-gathering program.

Thirty-six years ago .the Turks
discarded their old government,
signed a declaration of indepen-
dence, and founded a new Turkish
Republic.
The Ottoman empire, which had
endured some 650 years, had seen
the heights of military glory and
vast political hegemony, had at
last become the "sick man" of
Europe, according to Ergun Ar,
Grad., of the Turkish Student
Club.
Give Ball
This week, the anniversary of
independence, is therefore a time
"of celebration for all Turks," he
said. Last night's Turkish Ball, a
semi-formal dance, highlighted the
local celebration.
During the dance, held at the
Hillel Foundation Ballroom, Dean
Walter Emmons of the engineer-
ing college was presented with a
plate by the Turkish students in
appreciation for help he has given
Turks in engineering.
Many of the Turkish students on
campus in the last decade have
been engineers, Ar explained.

political and diplomatic victories"
at the end of World War I, ac-
cording to Ar.
The new Turkey had abolished
the capitulations and contracted
treaties with all the other states.
'Released from excessive external
diculties, it was free to begin a
new era of progress and recon-
struction.
Young Mustafa Kemal, who had
already become a national hero in
the war of independence, proposed
a constitutional amendment by
which Turkey would become a re-
public, Ar said.
Accept Amendment
This amendment was accepted,
and Mustafa Kemal was elected
the first president of the Turkish
republic on Oct. 29,1923.
In March 3, 1924, the great
national, assembly passed. three
laws at one sitting: (1) expelling
the Ottoman dynasty; (2) abolish-
ing the caliphate, the commissar-
iat of "sheria" (the recognized
office of religious affairs) and
"evkaff" (pious foundationsf and
(3) attaching all the educational
and scientific institutions, includ-
ing "medresses" (religious col-
leges), to the commissariat of pub-
lic instruction.
Ends Pan-Islamism
By these laws the Turkish re-
public put an end to Pan-Islam-
"ism. Then came a myriad of other
reforms which today constitute
the basic differences between mod-
ern Turkey and the Turkey of
yesterday.
On Feb. 17, 1926, the assembly
adopted a new civil code which
was almost a translation of the
Swiss code. By the adoption of
this code Turkish legislation was
wholly freed from Islamic Influ-
ence.
These drastic changes and many
others took place in a short time,
and were established through
hardship and bloodshed; they had
to be paid for with the lives of
the people who deeply believed in
the principles that motivated
them, people that make up today's
Turkey, Ar said.
