Student Aid
Felowships
Authorized
By JANE HOWARD
A broad program to raise funds
for graduate fellowships during
the rest of this academic year was
authorized at a Jan. 15 meeting of
the University Development Coun-
cil Board of Directors.
Need for graduate fellowships in
all branches of the University was
shown, according to Council Di-
rector Alan W. MacCarthy, in th
report of the Council's Survey of
Needs Committee, formed, last
year to determine campus require-
ments.
Survey results pointedsout two
"almost universal needs": space
and student aid. Council officials
explained that the space require-
ment falls chiefly under state leg-
islative jurisdiction.
Logical Council Project
Since a primary Council func-
tion is to raise funds for Universi-
ty needs not met by legislative ap-
propriations, MacCarthy said ac-
tion to increase student aid and
fellowship support is "clearly a
logical project for Development
Council consideration."
With most of the funds expected
to come from corporations, foun-
dations and special gifts, the
Council hopes, MacCarthy said, to
realize about $250,000 within a few
months.
Fellowship Needs
"The fellowship program," As-
sistant Council Director Thomas L.
Dickinson remarked,. "is intended
to satisfy the fellowship needs of
all the University's schools, col-
leges and administrative units."
Decision to launch the fellow-
ship program has been discussed
informally with University admin-
istrators, and formally . with the
Council's Executive Committee,
which has already endorsed the
program.
Fraternities
List Pledges
During the open r'ishing period
which has lasted since the close
of formal rushing last semester, 53
men have been pledged, Interfra-
ternity Council rushing chairman
Bob Knutson, '56, said yesterday.
They are:
Acacia: James Aurand, '56E.

formal name, would immediately
launch an all-out organizing drive
to bring millions more workers into
union membership.
"We are pooling our resources
so we can take on the task of or-
ganizing the great mass of unor-
ganized workers in America and
build a greater industrial democ-
racy," Reuther said.
Stronger Union Result
Meany and Reuther said that
welding together of their federa-
tions would bring about a stronger
and more effective union move-
ment in dealing with employers
and in seeking to achieve political
aims.
Under the merger arrangement
the two top jobs in the new fed-
eration will go to the AFL, with
Meany and AFL Secretary-Treas-
urer William Schnitzler due tp
take over the same jobs in the new
setup.
CIO To Name Head
CIO unions ire to enter the AFL
as a "Council of Industrial Organ-
izations" with the right to name
their own leader, who probably
will be Reuther although he smil-
inglysaid he would not be a can-
didate.
The merger agreement will be
considered here today by the AFL
Executive Council. Approval was
considered virtually a foregone
conclusion since many top AFL
leaders took part in the success-
ful merger negotiations.
The pact will go before the CIO's
Executive Board at a special meet-
ing in Washington on Feb. 22. A
formal constituton for the new
federation then is to be drawn up
along the lines of the detailed
agreement worked out yesterday.
Fourth 'Extra'
'Concert 'Today
Features Stern
Isaac Stern, famed American vi-
olinist, will appear in the fourth,
concert of the Extra Concert Se-
ries at 8:30 p.m. today in dill
Auditorium.
He is now engaged in his 13th
annual coast-to-coast tour of the
United States and Canada.
His itinerary lists more than 125
concerts, during which he plays
on his 250-year-old Guarnerius vi-
olin.
San Francisco Debut
Stern was 11 years old when he
made his debut with the Sympho-
ny Orchestra in his native San
Francisco. Its conductor, Pierre
Monteux, became enthusiastic. "I
haven't heard such playing since I
listened to the young Kreisler,"
Monteux exclaimed.
Appearances with numerous or-
chestras followed and he made his
concert debut in 1937 with an ap-
pearance at Carnegie Hall in Jan-
uary, 1943, shortly before his 23rd
birthday.
Three seasons ago, Stern world-
premiered the Violin Concerto by
William Schumann and is also re-
sponsible for the first performance
of Hindemith's "Sonata 1939."
Program
Included on Stern's program to-
day will be "La Folia" by Corelli,
"Sonata in A Major" by Franck,
"Concerto No. 3 in G Major" by
Mozart, "Rapsody" by Ginas-
tera, "La Fontaine d'Arethuse" by
Szymanowski and "La Campanel-
la" by Paganini.
Tickets for today's concert are
available at the offices of the Uni-
versity Musical Society in Burton
