[GHT THE MICHIGAN DAILY SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 19,1959 ' SCHOOL'MEETING: Counseling Philosophy to be Discussed By ETHEL KOVITZ An attempt to clarify the philo- phy of the literary college on unseling will be made at a con- rence to be held at 7:30 p.m. hursday at the Union. Entitled "The Undergraduate's ducation: Student or Counselor's esponsibility?" the conference is onsored by the Literary College eering Committee. In establishing atcounseling pro- am three possible policies ex- , according to Dean, James' H. oertson, assistant dean of the terary College and advisor to the .eering Committee. "The first is to do practically >thing, believing that the stu- nt gains more from trial and ror, hearsay and experience," he mmented. This pattern is $ followed by Princeton University as well as in the University's School of Busi- ness Administration, where stu- dents sign their own election cards. "When adopting the second view the University takes full almost parental responsibility for the stu- dents. They are helped with aca- demic problems, decisions about fraternities or sororities and resi- dence hall difficulties. The Uni- versity becomes their big brother," Dean Robertson continued. A position similar to this is held by the University of Minnesota. The Literary' College has adopt- ed a middle-ground policy. "We assume that freshmen have special problems for which we should take some responsibility. But we are anxious as soon as possible to let stamp Club Features History )f Middle East In Exhibit, By RENE GNAM Yesterday's 40-frame stamp ex- hibition of the Ann Arbor Stamp Club featured the postal history of the middle east.' Held in the Michigan Room of the League, the exhibits depicted :ajor events in middle eastern nations, with emphasis placed on historical occurrences which af- fected post office issues. Besides postal history, the ex- hibition featured cancellations and rates that were in effect at spe- cific dates. The Tibetan collection of Frank Whitehouse, 'Jr., University in- structor in bacteriology, "centered around five postal systems." r Whitehouse's display showed hiow the postal system of Tibet, begun by the pre-revolutionary Chinese goyernment in 1909, fre- luently changed hands. Revolution in Tibet When the Tibet revolution oc- curred in 1912, the independent Ti- bet government started printing its own stamps. Then Great Britain ntervened and issued the stamps until India achieved dominion tatus in 1947. The Indian government con- rolled Tibet's postal system from heni until April,- 1955, when they urned it over to the Chinese Com- nunists. At present, the Commun- sts issue all Tibet stamps. A second representative collec- ion at the exhibition was Gor- Ion Torrey's display of "geogra- hical" Syria, a term which in- ludes most of the old Ottoman Empire and middle eastern nations. Supervision in Syria i In the 19th century, this col- ection points out, foreign powers,, ncluding France, Great Britain, Jnited States, Austria and Rus- ia, maintained post offices in 3yria w h i c h were supervised hrough consulate offices. With several . powers issuing tamps, cut-rate competition re- ulted. Playreading Group The Ann Arbor Playreading troup will meet at 8 p.m. tomor- ow .at the Masonic Temple to ead Tennessee Williams' "Sum- ner and .Smoke." Directed by Bill Caldwell, the ;roup meets every three weeks to ead well-known plays. Dues for nembers are a nominal 50c per ear, while the public is invited o watch free of charge. At the beginning of the first World War, the Turkish Empire cancelled allied post offices and the Germans gave up theirs. These were reinstated after the war, but were cancelled again by the Treaty of Lausane, in 1923. At present in- dependent governments print their own stamps. The collection of Prof. Peter A. S. Smith of the chemistry depart- ment is the "story of the rise and fall of French influence in Egypt." Situation in Egypt This postal history dates back to the time when France tried to make Egypt a part of the French colonial system., The situation changed when British influence predominated in Egypt. Later, the independent Egyptian government put an end to French post offices in Egypt. Other representative collections at the exhibition included frames of United States Confederacy stamps and American overprinting on World War II European stamps. Subjects Tell bout Trance Both Malcolm MacDonald '59, and Mary Foree '59 described the sensation of being hypnotized by Franz Polgar as, "a wonderful sen- sation which felt very restful." They both thought that they had been on the stage for only five or ten minutes, when actu- ally it had been an hour and a half. Neither MacDonald or Miss Foree remember much about the unusual and humorous antics they performed. When asked why they did some of the things they did, calling themselves Joe and Irene and ar- guing that five and five is twelve, they both agreed, "that it just felt like the natural thing to do," and they took Polgar's word as "the Gospel truth." Thesmost unusual thing to hap- pen as a result of Friday night's show is that Miss Foree no longer feels like eating. Feeling a little overweight, she asked Polgar to help her lose a few pounds. Now she "no longer feels like eating that type of food." Both MacDonald and Miss Foree; after spending a very restful eve- ning on stage, slept well with no bad after effects. students take care of themselves," Dean Robertson explained. He also stressed that the stu- dent gains by making the initial move to get help. Be All Cards In further interpreting the philo- sophy of the literary college Dean Robertson said, "Counseling can be looked at as extra-educational. But the literary college does not endorse being all things to all people. "Our counseling is merely to aid students in educational growth." Three things that Dean Robert- son suggested as means to improve counseling were: a clearer recog- nition on the part of both stu- dents and faculty of the basic philosophy of the literary college, improvements in structure and practice, to get more faculty people to help, and a look into the pos- sibility of working more closely with other counseling organiza- tions, such as the bureau of psy- chological service or the reading clinic. The conference is open to the public. David Levy, '57, chairman of the Steering Committee, stressed the importance of a large under- classman turn-out.

New Atom A ccelerator 'Powerful' A new super atom smasher re- cently authorized by the Atomic Energy Commission will be many times more powerful than any known today, The new machine may be lo- cated at the University. It will be installed in one of 14 colleges by the Midwestern Universities Research Association. Prof. H. R. Crane of the physics department, the University's rep- resentative on the MURA, says the planned accelerator may have the power of a trillion electron-volts, over 150 times as many as the largest in use today. In the new accelerator head-on collision will be made possible be- tween atomic particles travelling in opposite directions. Prof. Crane explains that the result will be a multiplied effect 25 to 100 times higher than in present atom-smashers, in which stationary targets are bombarded. One of the proposed plans calls for the construction of two ac- celerators side by side. In this design, beams of atomic particles in each machine would be directed at each other. Prof. Crane stressed that energy bound up in the particles will be converted into mysterious new par- ticles in which physicists are gr'eatly interested. If two accelerators are used, the project would be 1000 feet in dia- meter for each machine. Total cost of construction may run as high 'as $100 million. Electricity required to run the thing would be greater than that used in the entire city of Ann Ar- bor. The University has long been a leader in the development of atom- smashers and in other fields of atomic physics. The cyclotron here, built in 1937, was the second one in the world. It is still in operation. "1 SPARE TIME? If you are going to have time on your hands during the next few months, you can earn $1.00 an hour for some of those hours.
