"The possibility of an IBM machine breakdown was a bit of a worry," he noted, "but, had this happened, students would have been directed to tables where they could fill out their own cards." It's a case of, being previously, committed to handle 900 students an hour and you can't let one ma- chine stop you, he added. Ward finds that the summer enrollment program provides an excellent testing ground for new ideas in registration. "When we're working with 7,000 students it's much easier to iron out the bugs than when we're hit with a bar- rage of 23,000 students," Ward ex-' plained. Despite the sometimes hectic rushing that is a necessary part Foreign Study Grants for'5 Off eredt at U'l Competition 'for 165 scholar- ships to study in 13 foreign coun- tries will close Jan. 15,. 1958, the Institute of International Educa- tion recently announced. The scholarships are financed by foreign governments, univer- sities, and private organizations and administered by the IE. The awards are primarily for one year beginning in the fall of 1958 and are for study in Austria, Brazil, Cuba, Denmark, France, Germany, Iran, Israel, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. Interested University students who are United States citizens, have a bachelor's degree by the time of departure, are in good health, have a good academic rec- ord and a knowledge of the lan- guage of the country can apply in Rm. 1020 of the Rackham Gradu- ate School. Most of the scholarships do not cover travel expenses but persons' applying for Austrian, Danish, French, German, Italian and Netherlands awards mlay apply for a Fulbright travel grant to sup- plement the'scholarship. Applica- tions for travel grants must also be submitted by Jan. 15, 1958. The majority of scholarships are open to candidates in lan- guages, and cultlre, fine and ap- plied arts, - sciences, social sci- ences, philosophy, history and theology. The French program in- cludes 40 assistantships for young Americans to teach in 'ench sec- ondary schools and teacher train- ing institutions. Many of the assistants can also take, courses in nearby universi- ties, of an office manager's job, Ward a native of Maine, is a devoted family-man with two young sons, the second of which the Wards adopted the day before Thanks- giving. An avid carpenter and painter (the wall-and-ceiling type), Ward began building their present home in 1950 and, with a minimum amount of sub-contracting and many hours of hard work, the Ward family moved in last March. "It's a Five Star Better Homes and Garden house," he added with a touch of well-deserved pride, . . . 1725 square feet!" Stan Ward finds that he gets the most satisfaction in his job by just working with people. Besides his office staff, he has a crew of about 125 students which he hires each semester for registration work. Ward puts a tremendous amount of faith in the students working with him. "As a matter of fact," Ward said, "my right- hand man for the past four' se- mesters has been Larry Richards, a philosophy major planning to enter the ministry." Duties Increased Since 'ard returned to his present position as office manager in July (he held the same position in June 1951 before serving with the Air Force), he has noticed a sizeable increase in his duties. Whereas before he was concerned chiefly with registration and edit- ing of the office manual, now he finds himself spread over a much larger area. The biggest difference is his closer contact with the stu- dents. When questioned about "rail- road tickets," Ward replied, "I'm glad you mentioned them! Yes, I'm afraid I am responsible for them to a large degree, at least as far as editing and ordering them goes!" At this point it became evident that Ward was definitely aware of the student's plight of writer's cramp. Being a graduate of the University, he had fallen victim eight times to the mon- strous-sized sheet of perforated cardboard containing, at present, 14 separate coupons with no less than nine places to fill out your Ann Arbor address. "With respect to the railroad ticket, we are certainly eyeing it with the intention of reducing it," Ward went on, "but you have to realize that no matter in what form the various University of- fices receive the information con- tained on the cards, each of these offices.needs that information. "We're gradually trying to work the IBM system into registration." he added, "but the railroad'ticket is. not one of the most vital con- cerns at present. Whether or not we do alter it has a lot to do with the various offices using it." "You've got to remember," Ward concluded, "the railroad ticket as it stands now is the re- sult of much, much sifting and selecting over the years!" Alumni Fund Elects Board The newly elected officers of the University of Michigan's Alumni Fund board of directors for 1958 have been announced. Herbert E. Wilson, of Indian- apolis, '23L, is chairman. Mrs. David A. Killins, of Ann Arbor, '39, is vice-chairman; Mrs. Gor- don H. Stow, of Lansing, '37, is secretary, and Wilbur K. Pierpont, '38 and '42 vice-president, is treasurer. U Foreign Students See U.S. Sights International students from the University visited New York, Chi- cago and Washington, D.C. in the International Center's Christmas Vacation trips. One group 'of thirty students, under the leadership of Helen Tjo- dis of the Center, visited the capi- tal. As the Washington Evening Star pointed out, the trip gave the students both the tourist's view of Washington and a "taste of home hospitality." Guests in Washington While in Washington, the for- eign students were guests of the Junior Army Navy Guild Organi- zation. JANGO members, wives of military personnel, entertained them in their homes for typical American meals. The touring University students also visited the W a s h i n g t o n Monument, the Capitol, the White House, the Pentagon, and Mount Vernon. After spending three days in Washington, the group moved on to New York City and, according to Miss Tjodis, they visited the United Nations, the Statue of Liberty, Rockefeller Center and the Empire State Building. Attended Opera The international students at- tended a Metropolitan Opera pre- sentation of "Tosca" and a New York Center Ballet performance of "The Nutcracker Suite." They visited the Museum of Natural History, the Frick Museum and Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Hayden Planetarium. On New Year's Eve the touring group attended a Martinique Ho- tel dance, and was on Tines Square at midnight. Toured Chicago The second group, meanwhile, spent several days in Chicago. Under the direction of Janice Mil- ler of the Center staff, they first took a bus tour of the city. Among the places visited were two Housing Authority Projects the Board of Trade, and a large department store. They saw "Around the World in 80 Days," "Cinerama" and a WGN Polka Party telecast. The visitors were entertained in homes in the Chicago suburbs of Park Ridge, Sycamore, DesPlan- ins, and Oak Park.e Syracuse Bans Rush Letters SYRACUSE, N.Y. - The Syra- cuse Interfraternity Council re- cently adopted a plan to ban pre- rush letters to incoming freshmen. This plan also includes an all- University letter which will be sent to the new students during the summer before their arrival at Syracuse. By adopting this plan, the IFC ends the practice of sending mail- ing lists of new freshmen to the individual houses, which would in turn send out their own letters to these new students. The all-University letter which they have adopted will be pre- pared by a professional advertis- ing agency, and will described the whole fraternity system at Syra- cuse, rather than the individual house.
