PANE 91X THE MICHIGAN DAILY THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1952 7'77--TE ICIANDAL HOME FOR CHRISTMAS: DickyBrink To End Stay at Hospital Dicky Brink, 10-year-old polio patient, will get his Christmas pre- sents at home this year, instead of at the University Hospital polio ward. The boy will end a 28-month stay at the Hospital's respiratory center tomorrow when he leaves for his home in Morenci, Mich. * * * SEVERAL Wolverine gridiron greats are expected to be on hand for a "going home" party today. The players have already present- ed Dicky with an autographed trophy of the Michigan-Cornell game-a football bearing signa- tures of Fritz Crisler, Bennie Oos- terbaan, Ted Kress, Tim Green, Bill Billings and other members of the 1952 Wolverines. The attention the boy has re- ceived from the gridders has been a factor in helping Dicky overcome the fear of leaving the Hospital and becoming adjusted to living at home, according to Dr. David G. Dickinson, the center's medical director.' An avid sports fan, Dicky not only attended the Homecoming game in Michigan Stadium, but also saw a baseball game in De- troit's Briggs Stadium last sum- mer.

Explaining that the $37,000 fi- gure was a preliminary estimate which included large amounts of jnoney raised by grants and not used for national office operation, Berry said the actual NSA budget this year calls for expenses of $17,100. PRESENTLY serving as head of the NSA Financial Advisory Board. the former Student Legislature vice-president is working to set up Association financing on a per- manently sound basis. Berry pointed out that member- ship dues have declined markedly since the Association was founded six years ago. The income will go toward salar- ies of student officers and general office expenses, Berry said. Three elected officials receive $2,000 a year and work full-time for NSA. In using the $37,790 figure, "The American Student" did not differentiate between student dues and the thousands of dol- lars provided by grants toward the International Program and the Leadership Training Pro- gram, Berry added. "Within the last month, how- ever, Walter Annenberg, publisher of the Philadelphia Inquirer, gave the Association a grant of $2,500 for general office operation," he said. This was the first grant ever offered for general Association work rather than a specific pro- ject, according to Berry. - I I DICK BRINK HOLDS AUTOGRAPHED FOOTBALL early stages of the disease and later was transfered to the center for the highly specialized treat- ment given there.

Schulze of the sociology depart- ment said'last night. Schulze spoke on "Marriage and the Family in the U.S.A.," the last in a series of talks designed to acquaint foreign students on cam- pus with different aspects of American life. He told how industrialization of the nation and its resultant migra- tion to the cities had caused the size of the family to decrease. Once, a great number of child- ren was needed in the family to help with the chores, he explained, but since the industrialization the average family now has only two or three children instead of the seven or eight of 100 years ago. Schulze also observed that al- though we take them for granted, dating and "romantic love" until recently were unique to American society. Rushton Receives Engineering Prize J. Henry Rushton, director of the chemical engineering depart-. ment at the Illinois Institute of Technology has been named 17th recipient of the Walker Award for outstanding achievement in his field.

Martinet Talks On Languages Over-emphasis of the diver- gences of languages has been the major difficulty in language study, Prof. Andre Martinet, director of the language department at Co- lumbia University, said yesterday.
