THE MCHIGAN DAILY It) SAGE ! THE MICHJGN BATTY AGE r JC Powers Still' ibject to Review FRESHMEN ELIGIBLE: Many Scholarships Available at 'U' through petitioning, to any person on campus. Council members serve as com- mittee supervisors. The committee members com- prise what is called the SGC ad- ministrative wing. Four major groups are the Education and So- cial Welfare, National and Inter-. national Affairs, Calendaring and Studrit Activities Committees. The Education and Social Wel- fare Committee studies areas re- lated to academic aspects of the University. The group has studied such things as honor systems, which is now in special University committee upon SGC's recom- mendation, and counseling, which also upon SGC request is now being studied by a University committee. NIA's Work The National and International Affairs Committee works with the 'National Student Association, im- proves relations with other schools, ano helps with foreign student problems at the University. The C ale n dar in g Committee works out all problems of pro- gramming the year's events. The student activities committee takes care of special Council pro- jects. For instance, this year it looked into the possibilities of a student bookstore. It also super- vises petitioning and nominations for SOC's semi-autonomous. boards. These are the Human Relations Board. the Cinema Guild Board,, Joint Judiciary Council, Student Book Exchange and Student Ac- tivities Building Administrative Board. Other Boards The Human Relations Board is made up of students and business- men from Ann Arbor The group works secretly in areas of dis-i crimination in both the city and the University. The Cinema Guild Board is re- sponsible for bringing special films into Ann Arbor and allocating the profits to various campus organi- zations. The new Student Activities Building is run by the SAB Ad- ministrative Board. SGC is financed by a 25-cent tax on each, student, taken from tuition. Its four officers, president, exec- utive vice-president, administra- tive vice-president and treasurer, are elected by the entire council, although the officers themselves cannot be ex-officio members. The Council's secretarial work is done by Ruth Callahan of the Dean of Men's Office. By RONALD KOTULAK Scholarships ranging from $10 to $3,000 in value are available to freshman students after they have completed one to two semesters of work at the University. These scholarships are awarded on the basis of a student's aca- demic record at college and have no connection with his high school standing. Ivan W. Parker, assistant dean of men, advises students interested in seeking scholarship aid to apply for the grants in February. This will give his office time to process the requests and it will insure the "proper consideration" of each application. Applications Obtainable Scholarship applications can be cbtained at the Scholarship 'Divi- sion of the Office of Student Af- fairs in the Student Activities Building. Students interested in receiving scholarships in line with their field of concentration should consult the dean of the school or college where they plan to concentrate. In addition, Parker recommends that students fill out application forms at his office in order to be eligible for other general scholarships. The University awards scholar- ships on the basis of one or all of the following criteria: (a) scholas- tic ability, (b) character, and (c) financial need. Requirements Differ There are three classes of scholarships at the University, each of which specifies different requirements. The first is the general scholar- ships open to anyone on campus no matter what his field of con- centration is. This is the largest grouping, and, last February, 70 students won awards. In the second group are listed special scholarships which are given by outside agencies such as corporate groups or federations. These awards are based on geo- graphic or area of study consider- ations. The third class of scholarships centers around special grants awarded by the deans of the vari- ous schools and colleges. Only concentrates of a particular school or college are eligible for these awards. Aid Received During the 1956-57 school year more than 4,000 students received aid in the form of scholarships. The total amount of money spent in this way ran over $1 million. The average scholarship came to $225. One of the most unusual schol- arships available at the University is the American Indian grant. This scholarship was established in 1932 by the Board of Regents in recognition of three sections of land granted to the newly founded University in 1817 by Indian tribe's living in the area of old Fort Meigs. STUDENT GOVERNMENT COUNCILr-An SGC member's day is crowded with problems and ques- tions that require working late at night, even though the solutions aren't always to be found. Council A chievements for Year Many; Pro Tess in Honors Sems Lecturs (Continued from Page 1) Meigs. HEADQUARTERS 'for the University lecture course and has the power to disapprove any lecturers brought to campus by different 'organizations, if they use University facilities. Students Vote In accordance with two Council recommendations, students now have votes on this committee and the tenure of its faculty members has been limited. University students will have an opportunity this year to take out an health insurance policy through the University. An SGC committee has been working out possible policies and bargaining with insurance companies, so that students will be able to take out health insurance at special rates. The Council has also set up a committee to begin work on a special forum program. The pro- gram would include speakers who would discuss academic problems as well as controversial subjects in religion, politics and academics.- Chest Begun This October students will pro- bably be asked to contribute to the Campus Chest. It will be the sec- ond all-campus "give-once-for-all" charity drive. This past year, the Council held their first such drive, in prder to prevent a great many charity drives throughout the course of*the school year. It also was forced to deny Ga- lens, a medical honorary, the right to hold a charity drive on campus because it interfered with the united fund concept. Ideas to Come The University has been grow- ing at a great rate, and the Coun- cil feeling concern about this, has set up a committee composed of students, faculty and administra- tion to study the problems caused by increasing enrollments. The group will try to make sug- gestions on how these problems may be overcome. Freshman women who wish to join sororities will have their op- portunity in the spring this year. Rushing for sororities has been traditionally held in the fall. How- ever, the Council felt it would be better to rush in the spring after the women had a chance to be- come adjusted. This past year, SGC helped the Panhellenic Association work out a calendar for this spring rushing program.
