Three or more ref- erences should be included in the application. Assist Special Students Prof. Henderson further' said that the purpose of the fellow- 'ships for college and university junior administrators is to assist selected individuals who have un- usual qualifications for education- al leadership to prepare for ca- reers In college or university ad- ministration. Fellowships are available to be- ginning or junior administrators who have completed their doctor's degree or the equivalent, who have had three or more years of ex- perience in college teaching or administration, and are recom- mended as having outstanding competence and personal quali- fications for educational leader- ship. A grantee must qualify for post- doctoral privileges at the Univer- sity, or for admission to the grad- uate school at the University. Will Cover Expenses The grants will vary, said Prof. Henderson, but in general it is expected that they will provide the teaching fellow with suffi- cient funds to live in Ann Arbor and to care for his expenses, sub- ject to a reasonable maximum. This amount may in many cases approximate the current salary, plus necessary travel expenses. Considerations will be given to applications for a semester or oth- er shorter term; however, the normal term of a fellowship will be the academic year. From three to seven of these fellowships will be granted each year, beginning with September, 1958..- Applicants are requested to sub- mit a plan of study at the Uni- versity, of rel''vance to the admin- istration of higher education.- This plan will include partici- pation in a seminar or courses on higher education and may include other courses and seminars in the graduate and professional schools of the University, research on some problems of higher educa- tion, reading or part-time intern- ship experiences. Study Theory,Methods The purpose of the plan, de- clared Prof. Henderson should be to prepare the individual for a career in college or university ad- ministration through becoming better acquainted with such things as the primary trends in higher education, theories of learning and of curricdlum planning, and methods of organizing, adminis- tering and promoting educational programs. Interested persons are invited to make preliminary inquiry, stat- ing the nature of their interests, the proposed period of study and an estimate of the stipend needed, and enclosing a biographical sketch. No Deadline Set The follow-up application must include full curriculum material, 'snapshot, names and addreses of references, salary being received and the plan of study. Because the funds were granted just this past December, no dead- line date has been set for the ap- plications; however, the commit- tee in charge of this will be meet- iug soon, Prof. Henderson men- tioned. Broadening of the Alumni Stu- dent Leadership Exchange Fellow- ship program would be beneficial, according to this year's fellow Lew Engman, '57. Engman is spending the aca- demic year at University College of London, England. A British his- tory student, Michael Head, Grad., is studying here for the year. Writing to International Cen- ter Director James M. Davis, Eng- man described the operation of the program as "excelle'nt, at least insofar as it concerns me." The exchange student was vice-presi- dent of SGC last year. Get Special Attention Engman explained adjustment to the British college was made' much easier by special attention given him. He was aided by the registrar at the beginning of the year. "As a result," he wrote, "I had fewer problems in this regard than most of the other students here." Engman's field of specialization at University College is economics. He is also attending classes in the laws faculty, studying the English legal system. Much of his time is spent at the London School of Economics, he said in the letter, writing a paper on economic is- sues connected with the develop- ment of nuclear power. Fellowship Valuable The fellowship is particularly valuable, Engman indicated, be- cause of progress made by the British in peaceful use of the atom. "Fortunately," he con- tinued, "I have been able to ex- amine it throngh direct contactsj with the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority and some of its consulting firms as well as by means of the more standard ap- proaches." Despite his heavy academic schedule, Engman is maintaining his interest in extracurricular ac- tivities, the letter indicated. "It has been interesting to ob- serve the operation of student government on both the college Local Builders Need License A requirement that county resi- dential contractors be licensed by the Michigan Corporation and Securities Commission was passed this week by the Washtenaw County Board of Supervisors. Explaining the requirement, John E. Ryan, building inspector, cited several cases in which contractors did not fulfill agreements with home owners. The Michigan Corporation and Securities, Commission license would more or less guarantee the job, he said. In addition to Washtenaw, Michigan counties which have passed the license requirement are Monroe, Oakland and Wayne. YANK AT LONDON-University graduate Lew Engman is study- ing this year at University College of London on a student leader- ship exchange plan.

"My rec- : i f 0 OLIA The purchasing power of they i University faculty is less now than it was in 1939, Prof. Robert .. Williams, assistant dean of facul- ties, said yesterday. The United States Department of Labor issued a report citing International Students Plan SCyprus Debate, Students from more than 50 foreign countries will give the University community an oppor- tunity to witness a simulated United Nations meeting when they debate the Cyprus issue accord- ing to strict UN rules March 15, in Rackham Auditorium.

However, the increase of federal taxes 92 U' Aluini ho' Recognition II alone shows the net disposable in- comes of the faculty are actually two per cent lower than in 1939. Also, Ann Arbor is in the highest cost of living bracket in the na- tion. Dean Williams said the loss of purchasing power of the faculty may prove harmful to the Univer- sity. "You can only obtain good teachers if you have the money to pay them." Business, industry and the government are luring the competent teachers away from the college campus. 'U' Higher Than Most Although the University gives higher salaries than many of the state colleges and universities, schools like the University of Cal- ifornia pay at least $1,000 more. Dean Williams stressed that many members of the faculty are in "Who's Who in America" and that 70 out of the 1,000 most dis- tinguished scientists are on this campus. In order to keep these people here, they need a substan. tial income, he- added. The situation is so poor, Dean Williams said, that the 12 per cent increase is the smallest in the United States. Vice-President of the University William E. Stirton also comment- ed on the problem. Most of the money obtained for salaries comes from the State Legislature. The University has submitted an oper- ating budget 'to the legislature, but there has been no indication how the legislature will respond. Special Tax Suggested "One solution to this problem could be in the nature of a special tax for education," Stirton said: Since there is no dedicated,'tax for higher education in the state, a sales tax dedicated specifically for education could replace the present sales tax. This tax would not be regressive, as the people would be paying the tax when they buy their commodities. much more than Ameri- can audiences are used to seeing of what 23-year-old girls 'are made of!"

BE IT EVER SO HUMBLE Today let us apply the hot white light of sustained thinking to the greatest single problem besetting American colleges. I refer, of course, to homesickness. It is enough to rend the heart, walking along a campus at night and listening to entire dormitories sobbing themselves to sleep. Aid in the morning when the poor, orn students rise from their tear-stained pallets and refuse their breakfasts and shamble off to class, their lips trembling, theireyelids gritty, it is enough to turn the bones to aspic. What can be done to overcome homesickness? Well sir, the obvious'solution .is for the student to put his h~ome on rollers and bring it to college with him. This, however, presents three serious problems: 1) It is likely to play hob with your wine cellar; many wines, as we all know, will not travel. --7 U NO 8- 9604 LAST NIGHT for AWARD winning drama of BIG BUSINESS, LOVE, and INTRIGUE by daughter of HARRY BENNETT!

This, of course, is ample for ranch houses, but quite impossible for Cape Cods, Georgians, and Saltboxes, and I, for one, think it would be a flagrant injustice to deny higher education to students from Cape Cod, Georgia, and Saltbox. 3) There is the question of public utilities. Your house- and, of course, all the other houses in your town-has wires leading to the municipal power plant, pipes leading to the mu- nicipal water -supply and gas main. So you will find when you start rolling your house to college that you are, willy-nilly, dragging all the other houses in town with you. This will result in gross population shifts and will make the Bureau of the Census cross as bears. No, I'm afraid that taking your house to college is not feasi- ble. The thing to do, then, is to make your campus lodgings as close a replica of your home as possible. Adorn your quarters with familiar objects, things that will constantly remind you of home. Your brother Sam, for instance. Or your citizenship papers. Or a carton of Marlboros. There is nothing like Marlboros, dear friends, to make you feel completely at home. They're so easy, so friendly, so wel-' come, so likable. The filter is great. The flavor is marvelous. The Flip-Top Box is wonderful. The tattoo is optional. Decorating your diggings with familiar objects is an excellent remedy for homesickness, but it is not without its hazards. Take, for instance, the case of Tignor Sigafoos and Estabrook Raunch who were assigned to share a room last fall in the freshman dorm. Tignor, an ice-skating addict from Minnesota, brought with him 44 barrels over which he had jumped the previous winter to win the Minnesota Jumping-Over-Barrels Championship.
