Approved by the Board of Regents last June, the program is designed to bring the engineering college and industry together in their mutual interest in technical research through a method of subscription. u Already one company, the American Motors Co., has paid the subscription fee of $5,000 a year. It would ordinarily cost an in- dustrial concern approximately four times as much to employ one technical man per year in a research laboratory. Ohlgren Heads Program Prof. Harold Ohlgren of the chemical engineering department, assistant director of the Engineering Research Institute, is in charge of the program. He indicated that about six more concerns are seriously considering subscribing. Under the program subscribing industries, who enroll for a three- year period, will receive up-to-date information on the engineering college's latest engineering and scientific advances as well as abstracts covering the fruits of research over a long period. Agreement Gives Italy Trieste City New Treaty Ends 9-Year Dispute' TRIESTE, Free Territory UAP) - The City of Trieste will go back to Italy today under an agreement Italy and Yugoslavia will sign in London. The agreement, announced offi- cially yesterday, will end a nine- year dispute that brought Yugo- slavs and Italians close to war1 several times. Welcome Predicted Trieste, a key port at the head of the Adriatic, will give Italian troops a flagwaving welcome. When they take over they will be greeted by red, white and green Italian flags flying from windows and by a huge banner sewn by 60 women. Under the compromise agree- ment, Zone A of the free territory, including the city, will go to Italy, while Yugoslavia will get Zone B. Marshal Tito's troops have occu- pied Zone B while American and British troops kept watch over Zone A during the postwar dispute over the territory. As sdon as the London agree- ment is signed Premier Mario Scelba will report it to the Italian Parliament and demand a vote of confidence to back his action. U.S., Britain Urge Truce Washington and London have been prodding Rome and Belgrade for a long'time to end a situation which could cause rejoicing behind the Iron Curtain. U.S. Ambassador Clare Boothe Luce said in Naples Monday the United States felt a solution of the problem would "create a condition in which the whole of the Mediter- ranean area could be strength- ened." The agreement will free the American Trieste garrison force of about 4,000 .for duty elsewhere. The British will pull out about 3,000 troops.

This ties the record set in 1951- 52. Undergraduate men provided the biggest boost by elevating their average .03 of a point to 2.54 while the women dropped slightly from 2.66 to 2.65. Men's Residence Average Unchanged All general men's groups at the University showed either improve- ment or no change over 1952-53. Only the men's reidence halls didn't raise their average, which remained 2.49. , Based on four points for an "A,' three points for a 'B,' two points for a 'C, and one point for a 'D,' the averages include marks for both the Ball and spring semesters of the last school year. Freshmen bettered their aver- age by .02 of a point to 2.40 with men earning a 2.41 and women 2.39. Fraternity Increase Largest Campus fraternities made one of the highest increases, jumping from a 2.46 in 1952-53 to 2.50 last year. Every fraternity except one boosted its average during the sec- ond semester over its first semes- ter mark. Zeta Beta Tau at 2.79 was in first place with Alpha Epsilon Pi and Pi Lambda Phi tied for sec- ond. Next in order were Delta Up- silon, Phi Sigma Delta and Sigma Alpha Mu tied for fourth. Sigma Phi, Phi Gamma Delta, Tau Delta Phi and Triangle rounded out the top ten. Cook Leads Women held between University and in- -ustrial experts to review their fields of interest. Aids Small Industries, The program enables small in- dustries to obtain data they are unable to develop themselves, and larger firms to remain informed of work in regions in which they are especially interested or have. not had time to explore fully. j Ohlgren pointed out that the program is aimed at a cross-sec- tion of industries, rather than at any particular one. A main fea- ture is keeping a balance among varied fields, such as automobile manufacturing, aeronautics, and electronics. The greater interest in the pro- gram has come from industry, Ohlgren said. University Will Benefit Dean George G. Brown of the engineering college observed that the University, too, will benefit greatly from an enrichment of its educational program. It is expect- ed that industrial representatives, after becoming better acquainted with University research resources, will consult more with faculty specialists and invite them to con- duct additional research in their particular fields. The program is the first made available to industry on such a broad basis by a university. "We have tried to make the subscrip- tion fee small enough so that a large number of organizations can participate in the program," Dean Brown said. Subscription orders can be considered as legitimate business expenses. Originally called the Industrial Participation Program, the plan was included in a 21-page report by the University Development Council on a suggested plan for launching a corporation program. The report appeared last Febru- ary. Jeer Negr In Washington, some 400 of t costia High gathered across the their principal's pleas that theya tors booed 43 Negro students as One striking student said adm Anacostia Friday caused the dem- onstration. A similar demonstration was staged at McKinley High in Wash- ington by about 150 boys and girls but they were persuaded to trans- fer their protest meeting to a classroom. The meeting broke up in confusion. Students Criticize Several studentscriticized ad- mittance of Negroes to McKinley with one girl declaring she was "afraid to walk down the hall. They walk right up behind me and say things I wouldn't repeat." A majoriey of the students, how- ever, appeared to favor a sugges- tion by Anthony Green, one of the school's football players, that a committee be named to handle the situation. D.C. Possible Model The District of Columbia plan for ending racial segregation in schools had brought expressions of hope from President Eisenhow- er and others that it would be- come a model for other sections to follow in carrying out the U.
