Latins Learn English in Eight Weeks
Sixty Latin American students,1
products of a unique educational ex-
periment known as the English Lan-
guage Institute, recently completed
an eight week course here and have
moved on to take up specialized stud-
ies at other universities throughout
the nation..
The students, no longer strangersI
to this country's idioms, learned the
fundamentals of sentence structure
and pronunciation in a curriculum
that included movies, dances and
parties as well as formal classroom.)
study.
Began in 1941
Originated and conducted by Prof.
Charles C. Fries, an internationally
known linguist, the project was be-
gun in 1941 at the request of the
State Department and has since
turned out more than 600 students.
To supplement classroomwork, the
students live together in the "Eng-
lish House" where only English is
spoken. Miss Margaret Moye, direc-
tor of the house, arranges schedules
of games and speeches for the resi-
dents. Sheran into difficulty once,
however,when she tried to introduce
the game of musical chair. It didn't
work because the men students were
too polite. Instead of fighting for a
chair they would bow to a pretty
senorita and say, "You take chair,
please."
Learn Our Way of Life
The students receive orientation in
other things American than the lan-
guage. Upon arrival many werel
amazed that we obey traffic signals.
Speaking of a stop light, one of them
said, "Imagine obeying an inanimate
object!" Doing their own laundry
and taking care of their rooms came
as a disagreeable surprise to most as
only the very poor do menial labor
in their countries.
The eight week course is offered
on a year-round schedule here, but
several other universities plan to in-
stitute summer courses under the
guidance of the University of Michi-
gan.

Register with IFC
Prospective rushees are encouraged
to register immediately with the IFC,
since actual rushing will begin some-
time next week, according to Dogan
Arthur, president of the IFC.
Registration with the Council is
Veterans boost
Membership of
U' Fraternities
With the return of veterans to
campus in large numbers, the ranks
of campus fraternities are being
swelled by the addition of these men.
Veterans are being encouraged to
contact their respective fraternities
upon reaching campus by the Inter-
fraternity Council, according to Do-
gan Arthur, IFC president.
While many of these veterans are
married and will not live in the chap-
ter houses, many others have return-
ed to live with their fraternity broth-
ers. In view of the housing shortage,
fraternity affiliation has proved of
great benefit to many veterans in
this respect.
Returning to Zeta Beta Tau frater-
nity after an absence of three years
is Arthur Maier. Attached to the
101st Airborne Division, Maier took
part in some of the bloodiest fighting
on European soil, including the battle
for Bastogne. Maier was decorated
with the Bronze Star, the Distin-
guished Service Cross, the Purple
Heart with oak leaf cluster and the
French Croix de Guerre. Maier was
a transfer from Miami University.
Maier is living at the Zeta Beta
Tau fraternity chapter house at 2006
Washtenaw. He heads a fraternity
committee to consider fraternity-vet-
eran problems that may arise.
compulsory before a student can be
rushed or pledged by a fraternity. The
Council submits lists of all registrants
to all fraternities and it is from these
lists that the fraternities may rush
and pledge students. Registration
with the IFC involves no obligation to
the student.
No man will be rushed if he is
not registered with the IFC.
Governed by IFC
The Interfraternity Council is gov-
erned by an executive committee,
consisting of four fraternity repre-
sentatives, the president, the secre-
tary and alumni and faculty repre-
sentatives. The Council has estab-
lished a set of rushing and pledging
rules which the fraternities must
abide by.
At the present time, there has been
a vacancy created in the office of
secretary of the IFC. Election of the
secretary will be held within a few
weeks.
Meeting Tuesday
There will be a meeting of all fra-
ternity presidents on Tuesday eve-
ning, November 6. At this time, rush-
ing procedure will be discussed.
This semester, 15 fraternities will
reside in their houses in comparison
with approximately 30 in the pre-
war period.
Houses not taking non-fraternity
men: Beta Theta Pi, Phi Delta Theta,
Phi Sigma Delta, Sigma Alpha Mu,
Sigma Chi and Zeta Beta Tau.
Houses with non-fraternity room-
ers: Alpha Tau Omega, Chi Phi, Del-
ta Upsilon, Pi Lambda Phi, Sigma
Alpha Epsilon, Sigma Phi Epsilon,
Theta Chi, Theta Delta Chi and Zeta
Psi.
In addition there are several active
fraternities that are not occupying
their houses. The latter group num-
bers approximately ten fraternities.
Those fraternities that are taking
in non-fraternity members are con-
sidered as rooming houses and must
have a, house mother in residence.
