Summer Orientation
Enrollment Expands

DECLINE IN LEADERSHIP:
Fears Results of Present Tax Policies

Over half of the fall freshman
class will participate in the Uni-
versity's summer orientation pro-
gram and a new program for par-f
ents will be added on a trial basis'
this summer.1
About 1,700 prospective stu-
dents, representing approximately
55 per cent of the total freshman1
class, 'began trickling into Ann"
Arbor yesterday for two-day or-
ientation sessions which will con-
tinue through Aug. 14.
Last summer's participants
numbered 1,390 or 45 per cent of
the total, and this year's group
sets a record for the percentage of
freshmen attending the program,
now in its third year.
Parents' Meetings
Special meetings for parents of
the prospective students have
been scheduled for this week with
about 300 expected to attend.
The trial program will be held
from 3:30 to 5 p.m. on the third
floor of the Student Activities
Bldg., where parents will have the
opportunity to hear representa-
tives from the offices of the deans
of men and women, the academic
Music Group
Plans Three
Performances
The Stanley Quartet will offer
a series of three concerts for lis-
teners this summer, to be held at
8:30 p.m. July 1, 15 and 29 in
Rackham Lecture Hall.
Members of the quartet are
Prof. Gilbert Ross and Gustave
Rosseels, violins; Prof. Robert
Courte, viola and Prof. Oliver
Edel, cello. Prof. Clyde Thompson,
double bass, will assist the group.
All are members of the music
school faculty.
For the July 1 program the
group will play "Quartet in G
major, K. 387' by Wolfgang Ama-
deus Mozart; "Quintet No. 2
(1952)" by Darius Milhaud, com-
missioned by the University and
dedicated to the Stanley Quartet
and "Quartet in D minor, Opus
posth. (Death and the Maiden)"
by Franz Schubert.
"Quartet in C major, Opus 50,
No. 2" by Franz Joseph Haydn
will be the opening selection in
the July 15 concert, followed by
"Quartet in A minor (For Jean on
her Birthday)." by Ralph
Vaughan-Williams and "Quartet
in F major, Opus '59, No. 1" by
Ludwig von Beethoven.
The concluding summer pro-
gram, July 29, will include "Ser-
enade in G major, K. 525 (ine
kleine Nachtmusik)" for two vio-
lins, viola, cello and double bass
by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart;
"Quartet in F major" by Maurice
Ravel and "Quartet No. 6" by
Bela Bartok.
The premiere performance' of
a new string quartet by the Amer-
ican composer, Elliott Carter, will
be presented by the Stanley Quar-
tet at the second of its two con-
certs scheduled for the fall semes-
ter, Dec. 15. The Carter- quartet
is the University's 1959 Chamber
Music Commission and is dedi-
cated to the Stanley Quartet.

counselors, Health Service and the
student body speak. Question-
and-answer sessions with the
speakers and other res o u r ce
people are also scheduled.
The students in groups of 50-60,
will spend their two-day orienta-
tion period receiving counseling,
selecting courses for the fall se-
mester, taking college and lan-
guage placement tests, having x-
rays taken and attending orienta-
tion meetings.
Fee Charged
Each participant is charged a
slight fee to cover room and board
in a University residence hall and
fees for student leaders and staff
personnel. The program is organ-
ized to give freshmen the oppor-
tunity to become better acquaint-
ed with student life on campus
before taking up residence in the
fall.
Freshmen not participating in
the summer schedule will return
for the regular fall orientation
period Sept. 14, with the summer-
oriented students joining them
the next day. For the remainder
of the week, both groups will take
part in a program of social orien-
tation.
About two-thirds of this year's
participants are from Michigan
with the rest coming from all over
the country, E. Jack Petoskey, di-
rector of orientation for the Office
of Registration and Records, said.
Last summer, 19 states were rep-
resented in the program.
Many out-of-sttae students,
Petoskey added, come to Ann Ar-
bor with their parents as part of
a vacation trip to Michigan.

Present tax policies handicap
United States industry in main-
taining technological leadership
among the major industrial na-
tions of theworld, Michigan busi-
nessmen were told Monday.
Addressing a summer manage-
ment conference in St. Clair
sponsored by the University,
Michigan State University, and
Wayne State University, Ralph
E. Cross declared:
Slow Recovery'
"Capital recovery (of funds
spent for improved plant and
equipment) in the U.S. is the
slowest of any industrial country
in the world. It takes from 12 to
30 years torecover funds invested
in machine tools in the U.S., as
opposed to four to eight years
in the industrial countries of
Europe."

Placements

Cross is executive vice-president
of The Cross Co., Detroit, manu-
facturer of automated machine
tools and other equipment. He
spoke following a banqet session
at the St. Clair Inn, opening the
three-day conference.
Cross said U.S. industry must
'invest $40 billion annually in
'plant and equipment to maintain
present jobs and provide work for
400,000 new persons entering the
labor force each year.
"Every new job costs from
$12,000 to $15,000 each, and every
job in existence requires an ex-
penditure of $450 annually (in
plant an dequipment) to keep it
alive," he noted.

country that gets the taxes and
job opportunities, not for a year
but for the life of the plant," he
said.
Cross listed four ways to fur-
ther technological advances in
the U.S.: continued expansion of
research (now a $10 billion an-
nual industry), revised tax poli-
cies on depreciation of industrial
plant and equipment, increased
productivity, and stepped up in-
centives for individual success.
At present, he estimated about
25 per cent of the nation's pro-
ductive potential is lost because
of "feather-bedding" by employes.
Schedule Film
On Wednesday
Films on community organiza-
tion will be screened at seven p.m.
Wednesday in the School of
Social Work auditorium, Frieze
Building.
The showing is being conducted
in connection with the seminar
on Community development in
newly developing countries cur-
rently being led by Prof. Arthur
Dunham of the social work
school.

Opposes Expansions
The Detroit executive warned
that America is pricing itself out
of world markets. He expressed
particular concern with the trend
of U.S. firms to build plants in
foreign countries in an effort to
maintain their market position.
"When a company invests some
of its capital in plant and ma-
chinery to make a new product,
it establishes a reservoir of future
profits, taxes and job opportuni-
ties that are consumed over a
period of years. When that plant
is built in a foreign country in-
stead of the U.S., it's the foreign

Teachers of French, Latin, Ger-
man and Spanish from all parts

tion Board and Ann Arbor High

ment.

gram in Foreign Languages, col-
lege-level language courses in the

placement, and other topics of
interest to language teachers.
