(FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE)
"Prose Styles: Five Primary Types" by Huntington Brown is the first volume of a new series to be published by the University of Minnesota Press. The series is called "Minnesota Monographs in the Humanities." Volume I will
be available in bookstores March 12. The author, Professor Brown, retired from the University's English department in June, 1965. In the book, Brown identifies five broad types of written or spoken discourse that have been conspicuous in the western world from ancient times. He names these as the deliberative, the expository, the tumbling, the prophetic and the indenture, and he gives examples of each that range from the very old to the modern, from such works as the Sermon on the Mount, "Beowulf," and yesterday's sports page. The \oJOrk is intended not just for writers, but for anyone who reads, particularly students and teachers of literature.
The open-ended series is being edited by Gerhard H. Weiss, associate professor among faculty members of German. It grew out of a long-felt need/for a place to publish monographs in the general area of the humanities. (A monograph is a treatise on a single subject which generally runs between article length and book length.) The idea for a monograph series was originated during discussions within the Advisory Council in the Arts and Letters. Funds for publishing the first few books
were made available by the Graduate School Research Center. It is hoped that later the books will become self-supporting.
Manuscripts --- which need not be in English --- are sought from any fulltime faculty / member of the University. If a manuscript is accepted, the author receives $150, with no royalties. Manuscripts are read by an editorial board Which consists of Sarah Youngblood, associate professor of English; History Professor Clarke Chambers; Professor Robert Sonkowsky, chairman of classics; Russell G. Hamilton, assistant professor of Romance languages, and Marion J. Nelson, associate professor in Scandinavian. -U N S- UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA NEWS SERVICE-220 MORRILL HALL NEW 'u' CHEMISTRY MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 55455 OOUIPMENT TO BE TELEPHONE: 373-2137 DEMONSTRATED SAT.

'U I FILM TO SHOW BIRD MIGRATION RESEARCH, QUESTIONS (FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE) Research into bird migration will be the subject of a color film to be shown at 3 p.m. Sunday at the lv'J.nnesota Museum of Natural History, narrated b.1 Professor W. J. Breckenridge, museum director. The program will be free and open to the public. The movie, made b.1 Breckenridge, will illustrate "a lot of the rather remarkable abilities birds have in performing their migrations and some of the research being done on this, aimed at trying to find out more exactly what the birds are doing and how they do it,ll Breckenridge said.
He will tell how such techniques as bird banding and radio and radar tracking have contributed to the field of knowledge, and also will describe how rapid strides in technology may affect the field in the future. There is the possibility, for instance, of tracking an individual bird by satellite, with instruments taking a reading on the birdls position every time the satellite circles the globe. Such a procedure might give some answers to a number of questionswhich puzzle the researchers now. For example, a certain type of bird is known to summer in Nova Scotia and in autumn, to fly to South America. However, it is not a bird that can land on water, and it is not known to alight anywhere in between its tw habitats. The researchers would like to know if it actually flies the entire distance without pausing.

The annual lecture series honoring Ford, the University's sixth president, will be presented Thursday and Friday. March 28 and 29, in the Minnesota Museum of Natural History auditorium and will be open free to the public. The series is sponsored
annually by the Arts and Letters Council of the University's Graduate School Research
Center and by the department of concerts and lectures. This year's Ford lecturer will be George M.A. Hanfmann, professor of fine arts at Harvard university and curator of classical art at Harvard's Fogg Art Museum. He also is the field director of a joint Harvard-Cornell expedition which has been wrk- ing on the excavation of the site of Sardis for several years. His two talks will be titled "Excavating the City of Croesus" and "The Ancient Synagogue of Sardis." The Guy Stanton Ford Lectures are an outgrowth of the wish of a group of friends and associates of President Ford to express in permanent form their admiration for him and their appreciation of his services to the University. The endowment for funding the lectureship was started immediately following the former president's retirement in 1941, and sufficient funds were collected to present the first lecture in 1957. In recognition of the wide interests of President Ford, the lecturers have been selected to represent varied fields of knowledge and achievement. Distinguished scholars who have given past Ford Lectures and their fields of interest include: Percival Spear, University of California, history, 1958; Herbert C. Pritchett, University of Chicago, political science, 1959; Kingsley Davis, Univer sity of California, sociology, 1960; Victor Lange, Princeton University, humanities and Germanic criticism, and Harold Jantz, Johns Hopkins University, German and American culture, 1961-62; Kenneth Boulding, University of Michigan, economics, 1963; Siegfried Giedion, Harvard University, architecture, and Fritz Fischer, from Germany, history, 1964; and Bernard Weinberg, University of Chicago, Romance language, 1965. -U N S- ~ ~------~~~~

PAUL MOTHER OF 2 TAKES TELEPHONE: 373-2137 lUI CORRESPONDENCE COURSE NO. 150,000 MARCH 4, 1966
(FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE) Mrs. Connie Price of 813 Dayton ave., St. Paul, is many things: a psy- chometrist at Lino Lakes Rehabilitation Center, mother of two children, active civil rights worker, part-time student at the University of Minnesota.
She also happens to be the 150,000th person to register for a University correspondence course. She earned this distinction when she signed up, in February, for her fourth correspondence course: Sociology 141: The Family, taught by Professor Arnold Rose.
She also has taken many evening classes through the General Extension Division and a few daytime classes; enough, all together, to be short just five credits toward a bachelor of arts degree. She hopes to receive the degree this June, with a major in sociology. She currently is also taking a class on Wednesday nights, "Social Organization," from Harvey A. Farberman, teaching associate.
Mrs. Price is one of the many women who interrupt their college work to get married, then later decide to go back to school for their degree. In her case, she had attended the University for about a year'and a half back in the late 40's. "1 always wanted to finish," she said, so in 1961, having raised two children to the ages of 6 and 8, she joined a cousin in taking a beginning sociology course at night, through the General Extension Division. She was encouraged qy getting an A, so began taking daytime classes. In March 1962 she joined the Minnesota Plan for Women's Continuing Education, which gives advice and assistance to women who have postponed or interrupted their college education.
Mrs. Price says she had long been active in community activities involving either children or civil rights work. She had worked at a cooperative nursery school in St. Paul, had been a Brownie leader and a Cub Scout den mother, had served on Scout committees, was in the Urban League Guild and the NAACP. College work forced her to cut down on these activities. (MORE) MRS. PRICE -2- Then in September, 1963, she took a full-time job at the Lino Lakes diagnostic center for disturbed and delinquent children. After two months as a cottage counselor, she was asked to learn psychometry: group educational and psychological testing. She has been at it ever since and has enjoyed it, somewhat to her own surprise, "because I had never worked with teenage youngstets before, just the younger children." The full-time job further cut down on time available for outside interests, and two illnesses in 1965---hers and her son's---also caused her to revise her timetable for getting a degree. Her son, now 11 years old, has rheumatic fever, and after "pushing myself too hard all summer, taking care of him and going to class and working," Mrs. Price was hospitalized all of September, 1965, with asthma and emphysema. She says she now feels fine, but had to give up all outside activities--- except that recently she did get involved in forming an ad hoc committee to try to assist people in Alabama. "Around Tuskegee there are people starving and living in a tent city," she says, adding, "things really haven't changed too much in the
South. " In the past, she was active on the NAACP governing board and was chairman of the Freedom Fund for a year. She took part in the historic civil rights march on Washington, D. C., in August of 1963. A year earlier she had made her first visit to the South to attend an NAACP convention in Atlanta, Ga., and, as a Negro, found it "quite an experience. II She adds that she longed to make the 1965 march from Selma to Montgomery, Ala., but her family commitments prevented her. And she has come to feel that there are many ways she can work to "change things right here at home." When she has the time and does not hold a civil service job, she would like to become more active in local politics. Her daughter is now 13; Mrs. Price has been divorced for 3 year~. In the correspondence study department, Mrs. Price represents not 150,000 separate students to register for courses, but rather 150,000 registrations---with some of these registrations,obviously, representing the same individual taking more than one course. Perhaps significant is the fact that the department was formally organized in 1913 and had its 100.000th registration as recently as 1958. The department offers an excellent way to start or continue a college education for persons who live too far away to commute to the campus or whose schedules do not permit them to attend regular daytime or evening classes. It offers a great variety of courses in many different fields, for credit toward a degree or non-credit, at beginning or more advanced levels, and allows the student to work at his own speed and convenience. -u N S- UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA NEWS SERVICE-220 MORRILL HALL MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 55455 TELEPHONE: 373-2137 PAINTINGS DEPICTING MARCH 4, 1966 AIR FORCE IN ACTION TO BE SHOWN AT 'u' (FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE) The bleak and barren waste of a U.

(FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE) Minneapolis----William E. Wright, University of Minnesota associate professor and a specialist in the history of Central Europe, has been named to serve as acting chairman of the University's Immigrant Archives Committee. He succeeds
Professor Timothy L. Smith, who has served as chairman during the last three years.
Professor Smith will go to Europe and, during April and May, will work in the archives of the World Council of Churches, at Geneva, Switzerland, under a grant from the American Philosophical Society. He will study the relationship of the council to congregations, clergymen and ecclesiastical officials of Eastern orthodo: and Byzantine Rite Roman Catholic churches in Central and Eastern Europe. He will then travel in Yugoslavia, Romania and Hungary under grants from the
University of Minnesota's International Studies Program and the U.S. Department of
State, searching for materials on the religious background of Eastern European migration to the United States. He will return to the United States late in July.
During the fall of 1965, major gifts were received by the Immigrant Archives from a wide range of individual scholars and ethnic groups. Joseph PaVlicek, of St. Paul, Minn., contributed numerous books, pamphlets and periodicals pUblished in the United States, to the Czech collection.
Miroslav Krek, of Milwaukee, Wis., provided the Slovene section with incomplete sets of 30 different periodicals published in the Old World and the New, as well as numerous pamphlets. Professor Mirko Geratich of Chicago, Ill., and Father Bertrand Kotnik of St. Mary's Seminary, Lemont, Ill., added numerous items to their earlier contributions.
The Lithuanian section received extensive gifts. The Rt. Rev. Francis M. JuraE of Lawrence, Mass., sent several boxes of books, pamphlets and music. Vitalis
Zukauskas, of Brooklyn, N.Y., provided incomplete sets of 18 Lithuanian newspapers, and numerous books and pamphlets. Another extensive collection of books, pamphlets, newspapers and periodicals came from A. Vadopalas, of Chicago, Ill. (MORE) IMMIGRANT ARCHIVES -2-
Recently, also, Professors Smith and Theofanis G. Stavrou launched an extensive effort to secure materials pertaining to the history of Eastern Orthodox and
Byzantine Rite Roman Catholic churches in America.
In response to their appeals, Ernest Villas, director of the department of the laity of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of North and South America, presented numerous issues of Greek-American periodicals, pamphlets, books and programs of
Greek Orthodox churches in America. Miss Mary Johns, of Boston, Mass., placed in the library a wide-ranging collection of pamphlets, books and periodicals pertainino to Eastern Orthodox churches in the United States. These represented the parts of the library of the late Archbishop Fan S. Noli which did not pertain to the history of his own communion in America, the Albanian Orthodox Church.
These collections, like the recently acquired extensive libraries of Ukrainian materials, are undergoing initial organization so as to be ready for scholarly use in the near future.

(FOR RELEASE WEDNESDAY, MARCH 9, 1966)
Minneapolis---A broad attack on specialized problems in higher education is
outlined in the 1964-65 annual report of the Committee on Institutional Cooperation
(CIC), a voluntary association of midwestern universities which includes the
University of Minnesota.
The report states that, after seven years of successful operation, the CIC
stands today as "one of education's multilateral forces for the creative confron-
tation of change" in modern society. More than 40 joint projects are under way, in every major academic area, the
report says. In addition, the 11 universities are cooperatively conducting programc
in course content improvement, honors, graduate student exchange, and the relation-
ship of university resources to economic growth.
The report indicates that such cooperative programs frequently grow out of
informal meetings of small groups of faculty members; for this reason, the CIC has
pioneered the use of the seed grant---a small sum of money to enable a group to
get together aud exchange views. Stanley J. Wenberg, University vice president for educational relationships
and development and the University's representative to the CIC, says that "the seed
grants are a starter mechanism, relatively new to the educational scene. They often'
generate exceptionally effective ideas because these ideas are arrived at by the
cooperative thinking of people from several institutions." The report notes that the CIC has proved of interest to both educators and government officials, since it serves as an intermediary agency in shaping strong cooperative proposals before these are submitted to funding agencies. Among its most productive projects is the CIC Traveling Scholar program, where by graduate students can earn credit at their own school while studying on the campus of another CIC institution which offers unique facilities such as a library collection, outstanding laboratory or noted professor. In 1964-65, the report state enrollment in the Traveling Scholar program reached 108, or double the previous year's number.

(FOR RELEASE SUNDAY, MARCH 13)
What was Russia really like during the 20 years just before World War I?
Was a corrupt czarist regime in its final throes, so that following the 1917 revolution the Communists would have to start from scratch? Or was the foundation
being laid for constructive change and industrialization, so that Russia might have
evolved satisfactorily into a modern society on the western model had it not been for
World War I? These major questions, coupled with the firm belief on the part of some Russian
scholars that the latter is the case, provides the format for a spring lecture series
to be held at the University of Minnesota.
The series will be titled "Russia's Golden Age: 1894-1914?" and will run every
Tuesday night from March 29 through May 17, featuring eight leading authorities on
Russian history, economics and culture from allover the United States. It will be
sponsored Qy the General Extension Division's World Affairs Center, headed Qy Professa William C. Rogers.
Moderator will be Theofanis G. Stavrou, associate professor at the University who teaches Russian and Near Eastern history and is the author of a book, "Russian
Interests in Palestine, 1882-1914." Stavrou did research at the University of
Leningrad during 1963-64 as a cultural exchange participant, and will return there this summer.
The lectures will be given from 8 to 9 p.m. Tuesdays in Mayo Memorial auditorium, with a question-and-answer period following each talk. Some of the speakers differ with one another in their interpretations of certain il:>dues, which "will add to the usefulness of the series," Stavrou said.
"We chose this period for study," Stavrou said, "because it is a crucial one in Russia's history. One must understand these two decades in order to understand both the revolution of 1917 and the evolution of the Soviet regime." (MORE) RUSSIA -2- This was not a dormant period, Stavrou·emphasized. For one thillg, Russia was experienc'.7. '.: "the first pangs of industriaFzation." Economic expansion was under way in both industry and agriculture. In the second place, there was considerable political ferment. "Conservative and radical ideas were simultaneously reaching a crescendo, and in 1905, Russia experienced its first major revolution in modern times, a sort of dress rehearsal for 1917." Third, Stavrou mentioned attempts to introduce constitutional, or representa tional, government. And fourth, the period was one of II cul tural flowering in all the arts---literature, painting, drama, ballet," he said. "Thus it appears that even with all their backwardness and their problems, Russians in this period had made serious leaps forward," Stavrou said.

-U N S- " UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA NEWS SERVICE-220 MORRILL HALL REGISTRATION OPEN MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 55455 FOR 6 LIBERAL ARTS TELEPHONE: 373-2137 WOMEN'S SEMINARS MARCH 9, 1966 (FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE) Six liberal arts seminars for women will be offe-red during the 1966-67 academic year by the University of Minnesota's General Extension Division, as part of the Minn-
esota Plan for Women's Continuing Education. These courses are planned to fit the schedules of women who have responsibilities
which make it difficult for them to go to the campus several times a week, according
to Mrs. Loufse Roff, seminar program coordinator. In addition, the seminars serve
for many women as a first step back to college after several years away from studying.
Five of the seminars will meet every other week from late September until June,
generally from 9:30 a.m. to noon. In an innovation, the sixth course (on art and
perception) will be scheduled in rrcre concentrated periods with several all-day sessions and possibly no campus meetings during the winter months, so that women who
live a great distance from the University will be able to participate more easily. Three of the courses will carry nine credits apiece, if the course is taken all
three quarters. All of them may also be taken for no credit. Taught by many Univer- sity faculty members, all the seminars will emphasize methods of research or critical
analysis and the unifying concepts that underlie fundamental problems.
Applications are now being received, with a first deadline of Tuesday (March 15).
(Those who apply later will be placed on a waiting list.) Seminar members are chosen
by Minnesota Plan counselors, with a limit of about 20 women per course. The only
requirement is the ability to do college-level work. Tuition for the year is $99, and every member is expected to do all reading and write all papers. Those who wish credit for the course will be assigned extra work.
Seminar topics will be as follows: "New Worlds of Knowledge": a nine-credit humanities course to be given on alter- nate Wednesdays. This covers a wide range of topics from the physical and biological sciences through the social sciences to art, music and literature, with primary emphasis on the last 15 to 20 years in each field. (MORE) SEMINARS -2- "The Arts of Reading": a nine-credit humanities course scheduled for alternate
Thursdays. In the first part of the course, expository writings of different types will be analyzed and discussed with the aim of developing critical understanding. In the second half, imaginative literature including novels, short stories, poetry and plays will be studied.
"Culture and Society": a nine"-credit social science course, set for alternate Tuesdays. A number of ancient and modern societies will be studied to increase under-
standing of the terms "culture" and "society" and to give better perspective on curren problems. Faculty members will come from the departments of anthropology, classics, geography, history, political science and sociology.
ll "The Arts and Problems of Perception : a non-credit course to meet on Thursdays but with a flexible schedule, which will be determined only after applicants are consulted on their preferences. Examples of great works of art will be used to help sharpen the members' perception, with emphasis placed on the links between one's sense of vision and one's ideas and emotions, and on the ways in which cultural views as well as personal ones are reflected in art. The course, which is taught mainly by members of the art department, uses examples in photography and architecture as well as painting and sculpture.
ll "Ideas in America : scheduled for alternate Thursdays; not yet an accredited course but may become so. Basic ideas which have conditioned Americans' political thinking, and the art and literature which have influenced how they see and interpret social experience will be studied in a historical context. Old issues and controver- sies will be discussed in the light of their continuing effect. Faculty members come mainly from the departments of English, history and political science.
The sixth seminar has not been offered before and is still in the planning stage It will be open only to previous seminar members, and will deal with some of the social implications of modern developments in science and technology, emphasizing the responsibility of the citizen for understanding these implications in such matters as air and water pollution, space exploration, etc. It is tentatively scheduled for Tuesdays.

(FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE) Minnesota can be proud of its robust business climate, according to a trio of reports being issued at no cost by the UcivEiraity of Minnesota Graduate School of
Business Administration. Although these reports are only 7 to 8 pages long, they contain an extraordinary amount of information on wholesaling, retailing, and selected services, respectively. Written b,y two professors of marketing, the reports analyze sales and employment figures for the three types of businesses; they show county-b,y-county growth trends; and they compare Minnesota's performance with that of neighboring states and of the nation as a whole during the period between 1958 and 1963.
Authors are University Professor Robert J. Holloway and Professor Marcus Alexis of the University of Rochester (N.Y.) who taught at the University for one year recently. Commenting on these studies, the authors observe that wholesaling is one of
Minnesota's growth industries. The state's unusually large and growing share of the wholesale markets in the five-state area and in the rest of the nation indicates vigor and initiative on the part of its wholesalers.
They point out that the structure of the retail trades has undergone drastic changes in recent years and that Minnesota's retailers have shown adaptability in adjusting their marketing techniques to meet changes in economic conditions, shifts in population, changes in consumer demands, and improvements in transportation and technology. Selected services include many things that people do not do for themselves. Holloway and Alexis explain that services for consumers are represented Qy such thinge as barber shops, mortuaries, auto repair shops and hotels. Examples of services to businessmen are advertising agencies, management consultants and independent research laboratories. As personal income in Minnesota has continued to rise, they conclude, the percentage of personal income spent on selected services also has risen, and the per.::entage spent on necessities such as food has decreased. These three reports may be obtained free upon request from the Division of Research, Graduate School of Business Administration, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minn. 55455. -U N S- UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA NEWS SERVICE-220 MORRILL HALL UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA NEWS NOTES MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 55455 TELEPHONE: 373-2137 PROF.

GEMINI-8 ASTRONAUT WILL TAKE PICTURES FOR PROF. NEY OF 'u' (FOR RELEASE MARCH 15 or the launch date of Gemini-8 if launch is postponed)
Minneapolis---The Gemini-8 spacecraft launched today from Cape Kennedy carries with it equipment and plans for two University of Minnesota scientific
experiments. The experiments are to be conducted on early orbits, possibly the first and'second.
The experiments will be conducted by Astronaut David R. Scott, who will
take pictures for Edward P. Ney, University of Minnesota ppysics professor, in continued studies on sky phenomena.
Astronaut Gordon Cooper took a series of sky photos for Professor Ney on
the one-man Mercury flight in May of 1963, and again last August on Gemini-5.
He used an automatic camera designed by William F. Huch, ppysics research
associate. The camera carried in today's Gemini-8 spacecraft also was designed by Ruch.
The photographs taken today or tomorrow by Astronaut Scott will be a continuation of those earlier experiments. The two experiments conducted by Scott and Command Pilot Neil Armstrong will be of the sky phenomenon called airglow, a dim and somewhat mysterious light band above the earth's horizon. This faint nighttime glow in the sky is appar- ently caused by the upper atmosphere release of energy absorbed from the sun. One of the astronauts' experiments is to take pictures which will establish the geographical extent of the airglow. Astronaut Scott will begin taking pictures with the special camera at sunset. He will vary the schedule of exposures during the night, but the exposures will all be 15 seconds in length.
Approximately two-thirds of the film will be used in this experiment. (NORE) GEMINI-8 -2- While Scott is taking pictures, Command Pilot Armstrong's job is to keep the spacecraft carefully oriented with respect to the earth, and pointed at the airglow.
The second experiment will be a continuation of the first. It is an attempt to discover why the astronauts in their previous flights have not been able to see the stars during daytime. There is no known reason why they shouldn't, and calculations indicate that airglow couldn't be bright enough to obscure vision of the stars. The second set of pictures will try to photograph this extra illumination in the daytime sky.
The astronauts will take these pictures on the edge of day and night in the southern hemisphere. They will take pictures while they are on the dark side of the earth (to eliminate sunlight glare on the spacecraft window). The subject will be the southern cross starfield (one bright star in this field is Rigil Kentaurus) on the daylight side of the earth. The camera used in these experiments is a special 35-millimeter automatic camera with an extremely fast (f.l) lens. It is loaded with a special high speed color film.

(FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE)
Minneapolis---The MacPhail College and School of Music today (Friday, March 11) was entrusted to the University of Minnesota Board of Regents as a gift from the MacPhail Board of Trustees.
Included in the gift was the college, its school of music and all its proper- ties, located at 1128 LaSalle ave. and 52 S. Twelfth st., Minneapolis. The gift will become effective July 1, 1966.
Spokesmen for the University and MacPhail emphasized that the present program of private music instruction at the MacPhail School will be continued at the present location, with the same teachers.
On accepting the gift, the Regents passed a memorandum enumerating the Univer- sity's plans for making use of the gift. These include:
(1) The University will incorporate the functions of the MacPhail College of
Music within its department of music, and the func tions of the MacPhail School of
Music within the General Extension Division.
(2) Students now enrolled in the MacPhail College will be given the opportunity to transfer to a degree program at the University.
(3) The University will propose to establish in the General Extension Division a MacPhail Center for the Performing Arts, to be housed in the present MacPhail building. The General Extension Division will assume management of the building and may develop programs of extension work there in other fields besides the perform- ing arts.
(4) "In order to preserve the traditions of service to music which the MacPhail name represents," the University will propose a new chair in the music department, to be named the MacPhail Chair of Music. Arrangements for funding the chair will be undertaken under the Regents' policies on named chairs. The chair is to be filled (MORE) HAC PHAIL -2- by "a person distinguished in music performance and instruction,lI as soon as an appropriate candidate is selected.
(5) Two leading MacPhail officials will be invited to join the University faculty: President William G. MacPhail as director of the new University of Minn- esota MacPhail Center for the Performing Arts; and Dean Adrian Lauritzen as associate professor of music, both positions to begin this fall.
At the Regents' meeting, University President O. Meredith Wilson presented to the Regents a resolution by the MacPhail Board of Trustees which stated that they were entrusting to the University not only the school and college, but also "its good will, its reputation, traditions and 60 years of musical heritage•••to the end that the cultural development of the City of Minneapolis and State of Minnesota may be enhanced."
President William G. MacPhail and Verne Moss, the college's attorney and a trustee, attended the Regents' meeting and concurred in the statement that the school's transfer would be "to the mutual interest of the University and the MacPhai~
College and School, in order to develop music and music education of the highest quality. 11 The transfer, they said, had been under discussion for two years.
The University's memorandum added the expectation that the move "will add to the growing national reputation of Minnesota as a state committed to excellence in the arts."
Arrangements have been made for all those who are now seniors in the college to receive their degrees there. Other college students will be counselled as to the appropriate program they might enter at the University. Programs available would lead to the bachelor of arts degree in music, the bachelor of fine arts degree in music, or the bachelor of science degree in music education. The University's General Extension Division will maintain and develop the preparatory and continuing education division of the MacPhail College. "In addition to continuing the present program of private music instruction, the Extension Division will inaugurate a program of credit and non-credit evening classes at the
Center," said Willard 1. Thompson, dean of the General Extension Division. (MORE) HAC PHAIL -.3- "This is a fine opportunity to expand our services to the people of the commu-
nity, making evening classes more readily accessible to those employed in the
downtown area. With the rapid growth in continuing education, these added facili-
ties will meet a critical need. fI The division now has extension centers in downtown
St. Paul and Robbinsdale.
William MacPhail, father of the current president, started the school in 1907
under the title "MacPhail School of Violin." At first it was housed in the Metropo-
litan Music building at 43 S. Sixth st., but moved to its present LaSalle-street
location in 1923. While the program was limited and the faculty small for the first few years,
faculty members more than tripled (to 37) in 1916, and the name was changed to
liThe MacPhail School of Music and Dramatic Art. 1I Instead of just violin and piano,
the offerings ranged from voice to guitar to double bass and percussion, with music
history as well, plus a full course in dramatic art. For the first time, graduates
could receive teaching certificates. In 1916 also, the school's first articles of
incorporation were filed.
In 1917, the MacPhail School acquired the Northwestern Conservatory of Music.
Some 42 years later, in 1959, MacPhail acquired the ~linneapolis College of Music.
In 1940, MacPhail College came into being. Bylaws were adopted ensuring "a
nonprofit institution for instruction in music, art and expression, dancing, dramatk
art and languages; to grant degrees, diplomas and certificates••• 11 The college
operated side by side with the School of Vrosic.
Then a year ago, in March 1965, the two were legally consolidated and the SchooJ
became a part of the College. Currently, the MacPhail faculty numbers around 100,
and more than 2,500 students are enrolled. William MacPhail Sr. was a native of Scotland who came to Minneapolis at the age of five. He was a proficient violinist who joined the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra in 1903, the year it was founded, and in 1904 went to Europe for three years of intensive musical study. It was on his return from Europe that he founded the HacPhail School of Violin. Later he was, for 22 years, the conductor of the Apollo Club Male Chorus and long served on the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra board of directors. He died in 1962. -U N S- UNIVERSITY OF NINNESOTA NEWS SERVICE-220 MORRILL HALL MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 55455 TELEPHONE: 373-2137 MARCH 11, 1966 2 ASSOCIATE DEANS NAHED IN lUI SCHOOL OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

'SAND COUNTRY' FILM SUNDAY TO SHOW AREA NEAR TWIN CITIES (FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE)
"Sand Country Wildlife" is the title of a movie made in Anoka, Chisago and Sherburne counties, which will be shown at 3 p.m. Sunday (March 20) in the Minnesota Museum of Natural History, University of Minnesota.
The program will be free and open to the public. The film was made over a period of years by Professor W. J. Breckenridge, museum director, who will narrate it Sunday.
"Many people don't know about this sandy region to the north and northwest of the Twin Cities," Breckenridge said. "The conditions there are very close to actual deserts, and some very interesting plants, animals and insects can be found, the type that can survive in hot, dry country. The film follows the life history of insects that burrow into the sand, and others. These are very different from the plant and animal life found elsewhere in this area."
Some of the dunes and hills are 50 to 60 feet high, Breckenridge said, and are still shifting around. They were developed after the last glacier, and the history of their development is explained in the film.
Following this Sunday's film, the museum will have two more public programs in its Sunday series. On March 27 the topic will be "Winter on Superior's
North Shore," and on April 3 it will be "pJilderness Da3T," dealing with the Boundary Waters Canoe Country.

Minneapolis---A $24,000 grant from the National Science Foundation to the Univer- sity of Minnesota for a five-week summer institute in economic methods and education
was announced today by Roman F. 1tJarmka, director of economic education at the Univer-
sity and executive director of the Minnesota State Council on Economic Education.
The institute, scheduled for the first summer session (June 13 to July 16), will
draw 30 selected high school teachers to the Minneapolis campus, most of them from
Minnesota and bordering states. The institute will be conducted in cooperation with the Minnesota State Council on Economic Education and the national Joint Council on Economic Education. "The 'tools of a working economist' will be the theme emphasized throughout the
institute," said Warmke. "We hope to explain to the teachers the various methods
economists use in making judgements about economic life. Armed with these tools, a teacher will be able to approach economic data and translate it into significant issues." The specific objectives of the institute are threefold:
to supplement and strengthen the economics background of the participating teachers, to strengthen and expand high school economics courses and programs, and to build in this region a nucleus of teachers qualified to help design, develop and test economics courses and materials.
Assisting Warmke in operating the institute will be John Welmberger, resident economist for the economic education project in the Minneapolis public schools.
Included in the institute will be a three-credit economics course taught by Harlan Smith, associate professor of economics. Also, a number of distinguished economists and economics educators will serve as visiting lecturers for the institute. Others on the staff will include Leonid Hurwicz, professor of economics and statistics, and E. Daniel Eckberg, social science instructor at Hopkins high school. Eckberg will teach a special summer course for selected high school students which will be conducted concurrently with the institute. Participants in the institute and the student course have already been selected. -U N S- UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA N~vS SERVICE-220 MORRILL HALL MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 55455 TELEPHONE: 373-2137 MARCH 15, 1966 'u' CHEMISTRY PROF TO GO TO INDIA ON SUMMER PROGRAMS (FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE)

Harold B. Allen, professor of English at the University of Minnesota, has been elected president of a new national organization composed of teachers who teach English as s second language. The group, formed by 900 such teachers at a meeting Friday and Saturday (March 18-19) in New York City, calls itself Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages, or TESOL. Professor Allen was a surprise write-in candidate for president. For a number of years, he has been associated with groups and committees concerned with the prob- lems of inadequacy in textbooks and also in teacher training in the field of teach- ing English as a second language. He currently is completing a two-year study of the status of English to non-English speakers in the United States, a project supported b.Y the U.S. Office of Education.
In a preliminary report of his findings to the new association Saturday
(March 19), Allen said that 64 per cent of the elementary and secondary school teachers who have non-English-speaking students lack any preparation for this special teaching. These students occur in such regions as Texas, where more than half a million school children come from homes where English is not spoken, and other South- west areas; and eastern urban centers, primarily New York City.
He also pointed out that one-third of all high school teachers with mixed clas~ ---both English-speaking and non-English-speaking students---give no special attention to the latter; another one-third give them no more than one hour a week special attention.
A desperate need exists, Allen said, for beginning textbooks for culturally distinct groups, e.specially- Indian children and the Spanish-speaking children of Texas, New Mexico and Arizona.
Allen's study is co-sponsored by the University of Minnesota and the National Council of Teachers of English. Elected first vice president of TESOL was Robert Lado, dean of the school of languages and linguistics of Georgetown University. Second vice president and program chairman is David Harris, director of the American Language Institute at Georgetown University. -U N S- I

(FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE) "Winter on Superior's North Shore" is the title of a color film to be shown at 3 p.m. Sunday (March 27) at the Minnesota Museum of Natural History, University of Minnesota. The program will be free and open to the public, and is the next-to-last in this year's series of Sunday Museum programs.
The movie will be narrated by Donald K. Lewis, Huseum audio-visual adviser, who says it tells the story of what one would find during an average winter on the North Shore, beginning at Duluth and going north: the ice formations on Lake Superior, winter bird and mammal life, the taconite and pulpwood industries, skiing, and winter fishing.
"The film is a good example of one that has grown and changed over the years," Lewis says. "It was first begun back in 1947, but anyone who saw it then \tJOuld find it very different now. As conditions have changed, we have added and changed parts of the film, so it is almost entirely different from the original.
"Taconite has come in; the pulpwood industry has increased, as have skiing and other recreation areas; the national monument at 'Grand Portage has gone up; and winter fishing has changed considerably: when we first shot film, it was a very good industry; then the lamprey came in and almost destroyed it; and now i-s coming back again."
The final Sunday program will be a color, sound film titled "Wilderness Day," at 3 p.m. Sunday, April 3, in the museum.

UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA NEWS SERVICE-220 MORRILL HALL GRANT GIVEN TO AI D MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 55455 RESEARCH BY 'u' TELEPHONE: 373-2137 NURSING FACULTY MARCH 22, 1966
(FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE)
Minneapolis---A $34,836 grant for a faculty project for strengthening research competence was announced today b.Y Associate Professor Isabel M. Harris, assistant
director of the school of nursing at the University of Minnesota.
The grant, from the U.S. Public Health Service, covers a three-year period.
It is the third grant for this project, bringing the total support since 1960 to
$94,928. "The purpose of the grant," said Miss Harris, "is to increase the research
competence of our faculty in whatever ways we can. The point of the project is to stress the importance of research to our faculty, and encourage them to initiate
their own proj ec ts. "
There are 26 persons on the faculty of the school of nursing. Miss Harris and
Professor Edna L. Fritz, director of the school, both hold doctor of philosophy
degrees. The others, who teach in baccalaureate or masters programs, hold master's degrees.
The grant supports three areasat the University, Miss Harris said: (1) nursing
research in the behavioral and biological sciences; (2) salary support of members
of the faculty, and (3) in-service education.
"Nurses could contribute valuable research abilities in the behavioral sciences,
such as sociology, psychology, anthropology and education," she said. "This is a natural field for most nurses, and many of us have our advanced degrees in this area. "The biological sciences also are natural areas, but not nearly enough research has been done here b.Y nurses. For example, what happens to the patient physiolog- ically when he gets a bath? ••or any other of the many kinds of nursing care? Maybe a bath puts a patient's heart under great stress, and, for a heart patient, this could be serious. Another valuable research study for nurses would be .
(MORE) NURSING GRANT -2- the reproducibility of blood pressure. There is now little consistently accurate, indirect measurement of blood pressure. There are simply too many variables. How can they be controlled?" The school of nursing now has five faculty research projects under way. One concerns the degree of creativity in graduate nursing students. "One interesting fact has turned up already in this project,1l said Miss Harris. liThe two least creative students---according to our tests---dropped out of graduate programs.
This might indicate we should change our basis of selection, to put more emphasis on creativity.1I
A second project, similar to the first, is a study of creativity and other characteristics in undergraduate students. A third project concerns itself with patient-student perception of the effect iveness of nursing care. This involves making taped interviews with both patients and student nurses after a period during which the sutdent has given care to the patient.
"For example," said Miss Harris, "after a student nurse has provided care for several hours, we'll interview the patient to find out now well---in his opinion-- the care was given. Then we'll interview the nurse to get her opinion. The diff erence of opinion on this point can be very interesting, and, after considerable data of this type is collected, worthwhile in improving nursing techniques." A career survey of graduates from the school is also in progress. It hopes to find answers to such questions as: How long do nurses practice after graduation? ••
Why do they quit? ••How many return to work? ••How long are they out? Another survey project is being made on applicants to the school. "The natioml attrition rate in schools of nursing is about 33 per cent," said Miss Harris. lilt's much too high, so we're looking at the idea of changing our acceptance criteria from strictly academic achievement to include such factors as personality and creativity."
(MORE)
- _. ------NURSING GRANT -3- The grant also is used to give salary support to the faculty of the school.
This is used to replace faculty members when they are on leave. Frances Dunning,
assistant professor in the school, is now on leave at Teacher's College, Columbia
University, taking training in research methodology. She is studying research
design applicable to nursing education.
In-service education programs take the form of scheduled seminars for the faculty. Marvin D. Dunnette, professor of psychology, has lectured on the empathy
between supervisors and workers; Joan Aldous, assistant professor in the Family
Study Center, has had a seminar on the effect of parents in developing creativity in children; Dr. Elizabeth Reed, formerly of the Dight Institute for Human Genetics, has discussed a study of the genetic relationships in mental retardation.
"We're primarily interested in encouraging independent research," said Miss
Harris, "but hopefully there's also the area of collaborative research with doctors and other health personnel.
"In any event, there is a good deal of research on nursing that should be done by nurses. It should be done to help improve nursing service and education, but, perhaps even more important, it should be done to help health services in genera!."

Latin teachers from grades 9-12 who can help initiate junior-high or elementary Latin also may apply. The six-week institute will run from July 12 to Aug. 20.
The only federally supported Latin institute in the country, it will be based upon the University's national pilot program in grades 5-9 and will assist the participants in acquiring the background, materials and techniques necessary for introducing Latin instruction at the fifth, sixth or seventh-grade level as a first step toward a six- year classical curriculum. The institute will be directed by Professor Robert P. Sonkowsky , chairman of the
University classics department. Funds for the institute were granted by the National Foundation for the Arts and Humanities, a federal creation "designed to some extent as a counterpart in the humanities to the National Science Foundation," according to
Professor Sonkowsky. The funds are administered by the U.S. Office of Education.
"Our institute is a very practical recognition of the fact that our classical heritage is important to all levels of culture and education in this country, and to our entire national life," Sonkowsky commented. "The IOOdern languages have long had the support of the National Defense Education Act and as a result, they are already being taught at the early grade levels. Now, with the help of this new federal act, we plan to teach Latin and Greek in new ways
that will be meaningful to youngsters, and to formulate a six-year program that will enrich their lives and their subsequent education."
The institute will be limited to 4D participants. Each participant will be eligible for a stipend of $75 a week plus $15 a week for each dependent, under the
federal grant. No tuition will be charged, but participants will pay their own room and board. Those who attend from outside the University area will live and eat in a University residence hall which will cost about $185 for the entire period. (MORE) -~- -~~ - ---- ~~ -

NEWS SERVICE-220 MORRILL HALL 'u' WORLD AFFAIRS SURVEY COMPARES MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 55455 PUBLIC OPINION, 'KNOWLEDGEABLE' OPINION TELEPHONE: 373-2137 APRIL 4, 1966 (FOR IMNEDIATE RELEASE) Minneapolis---"People who are really knowledgeable about world affairs hold very different opinions from the mass public; and, even more important, very diff- erent opinions from the college graduates who we thought were well in advance of the rest of our citizens." That statement describes the major findings of a just-released booklet compar- ing opinions of Minnesotans on world affairs in the years 1960-61. The statement was made by William C. Rogers, director of the University of Minnesota World Affairs Center, who prepared the booklet along with Barbara Stuhler, assistant director of the center, and Donald Koenig, former ~eseanch assistant. The booklet is titled "A Comparative Study of Informed Opinion and General Public Opinion in Minnesota on Selected Issues of U.S. Foreign Policy" and is Research Report No.3 from the University's General Extension Division. The study compares the findings of the Minnesota Poll, conducted among the general public by the Minneapolis Tribune, with the findings of a survey among 79 persons considered to be very knowledgea.ble in world affairs.* Questions used by the Minnesota Poll were sent to the 79 persons during the l3-month period from early August 1960 to late September 1961. Ten questionnaires asking 67 separate questions were sent out to the 79 individuals during this period, with a high rate of return on every questionnaire. An example of the booklet's findings are the responses given Qy the two groups to the question, asked in early Vwy 1961 after the Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba, "Do you approve or disapprove of the way the United States government has dealt' with Fidel Castro and his government in Cuba?" The World Affairs Center panel registered 12 per cent approved, compared with 55 per cent of the general public. The panel showed 73 per cent disapproved, compared with 28 per cent of the general public. The panel registered 15 per cent gave "other answers" and no body had "no opinion;" whereas, the general public gave no "other answers" and 17 per cent held "no opinion." (MORE) WORLD AFF1URS -2.- Another example is a question asked in September 1961, at the time of the Berlin crisis during which the Communists built the Berlin vIall: "Do you thin.1{ the United States should or should not risk war with Russia over Berlin?" The Horld Affairs Center panel registered 79 per cent "Yes," 8 per cent "No," and 13 per cent "other opinion. " The general public answered, in contrast, with 51 per cent "Yes," 40 per cent "No," 1 per cent "other opinion" and 8 per cent "no opinion." Using the latter example and others, the authors of the study concluded that "the panel was conciliatory during what looked like prime negotiating time and firm when the vital interests of the Western world were menaced. The general public reacted oppo sitely. " 1ihile the authors remark that they had not really expected the general public to agree with the panel of "knowledgeables," they were surprised and worried by the evidence that whenever the general public sampling was broken down according to the subjects' degree of education, the college-educated segment of the population tended to agree much more with the public as a whole than with the panel. "Answers from both the Minnesota Poll respondents and the college-educated respondents tended to be vague and sporadic," the authors write. The authors also suggest that "the fact of college education is not enough. Many forces must be brought into play to endow citizens with w-lsdom in world affairs, including adult education and continuing education. "The task is not an: easy one," they conclude, "but the consequences of failure might be extremely serious." -U N S- *The 79 world affairs "knowledgeables" were selected by a rigorous process by personnel from the World Affairs Center and the International Relations Center, with help from the director of the Minnesota Poll and certain educators and businessmen. Out of a final list of 90 persons, only six failed to reply to the invitation to participate and five more declined to participate. Each of the 79 was judged to have "a sound and broad knowledge of' world affairs, a good measure of analytical and interpretive ability, acknowledgement by his peers as a knowing person in this field, and a position of potential influence on the actions or opinions of others." The participants included 28 educators (mostly teachers of the social sciences in colleges), 22 business and professional persons, 12 voluntary organization leader~ nine journalists, five ministers and three political leaders. Of the 79, 67 came from the Twin Cities metropolitan area, 12 from eight other communities; 64 were men, 15 women. ##### UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA NEvB SERVICE-220 MORRILL HALL MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 55455 TELEPHONE: 373-2137 APRIL 4, 1966 'u' ART FACULTY TO SELL WORKS FOR SCHOLARSHIP FUND (FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE) Minneapolis---Sculpture, painting and prints done by 17 artists--- all members of the University of Minnesota art department faculty---will go on sale Wednesday (April 6) at the University Gallery in Northrop Memorial auditorium.

E. Summers, dea.'1 of admissions and records. The increase for the spring quarter, which opened March 28, over the correspond- ing quarter in 1965 is 8 per cent, Summers pointed out. Fall and winter quarter enrolL~ents this school year ran 10 and 9 per cent, respectively, ahead of those of the corresponding terms of last year. Although these percentage figures might suggest some slackening of University growth, possibly due to controls established in the fall of 1965, Dean Summers noted that decline from the winter to the spring term, 1966, was just over 7 per cent, as against a normal drop of 8 per cent. This may suggest a greater holding power on the part of students, Summers observed. Fall attendance totalled 42,178, and 39,634 students were in classes winter quarter when the official count was taken. The current student total includes 24,376 men and 12,423 women, indicating a further decline in the ratio of men to women in the total student body, a possible trend first noted in the spring of 1965. A year ago, 22,885 men and 11,177 women were enrolled. This quarter there were 308 new freshmen and 406 new advanced-standing or special students, whereas a year ago 311 freshmen and 440 others matriculated for the first time. At the Morris campus the spring quarter attendance has held up unusually well, Summers said, being 911 now as against 984 last fall. Duluth campus attendance, 3,775 plus 60 graduate students, is up 10 per cent from a year ago but has fallen a bit faster from the fall quarter than enrollment at other campuses (from 4,405 and 64 graduate students last fall). Otherwise, the fall-to-spring declines are less than normal.

Fourteen per cent of the class picked private haspitals, and 11 per cent chose general county or city hospitals not affiliated with medical schools. The armed services and the United States Public Health Service will get 12 per cent of the graduates. The most popular region with the graduates is California, with 33 per cent head- ing West. Minnesota ranks second in regional choices, with 28 per cent planning their internships in this state.

Illinois, West Virginia, New York and Oregon will get 14 per cent, with the rest of the University graduates distributed around the country. Rotating internships, which give experience in the major specialty areas of medicine, were selected by 71 per cent of the class. They were preferred by most s~ldents who intend to go into general practice, and by others who wanted broad clinical experience before training in a specialty. Mixed internships, which provide extensive experience in two major fields such as surgery, pediatrics or obstetrics-gynecology, attracted 8 per cent of the class. The remaining 21 per cent picked a straight internship, concentrating in one major clinical field. ..UNS------~ ------ UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA NEWS SERVICE-220 MORRILL HALL MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 55455 TELEPHONE: 373-2137 APRIL 13, 1966 DR.

He needs musical scores---folk, rock, grand opera---"these kids will sing anything, and love it1" And, he needs money---money to repair and replace what they have, money to buy reeds and scores and instrument stands. Current members of the Men's Glee Club and their director, Johannes U. Dahle, University music department instructor, have made the Liberia request their project for this quarter, according to Tom Patterson, 2335 Angell road, St. Paul, club member charged with pUblicizing the need. "Instruments, scores AND money," Patterson said, "may be sent to 'Operation Instruments,' care of the music department at the University. We are working with the Peace Corps representatives on this project and arrangements are being made for the corps to handle the transportation problems." -U N S- UNIVERSITY OF MIiHlESOTA NEWS SERVICE-220 MORRILL HALL UNIVERSITY NATIONAL MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 55455 BANK PRESENTS FUNDS TELEPHONE: 373-2137 TO lUI FOR SCHOLARSHIP APRIL 14, 1966 (FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE) Minneapo1is---The University National Bank today (Thursday, April 14) presented a check for $1,000 to the University of Minnesota as the first step toward an annual scholarship in banking to be awarded to a sophomore in business administration. The presentation was made at a luncheon in Coffman Memorial Union, where Russell L. Stotesbery, Jr., president of the bank, presented the check to Stanley J. Wenberg, University vice president for educational relationships and development; Laurence R. Lunden, vice president for business administration, and Paul V. Grambsch, dean of the School of Business Administration. The $1,000 will be used for two scholarships of $500 each, and the bank will continue to give another $1,000 each spring for an indefinite period, perhaps for the next 10 years. The money will go to students who intend to concentrate their studies in banking and finance. The student who wins the award as a sophomore, for use in his junior year, will be able to carry the award during his senior ye.ar as well, if he continues making satisfactory progress. Thus each year the $1,000 will be divided in two for a contin- uation of funds for the previous year's winner and $500 for a new winner. Stotesbery explained that the scholarship is a part of the bank's celebration of its 50th year of operation. IfWe have had a very good relationship with the Univer- sity during these years, and we felt it was a good time for us to do something of an academic nature, to recognize this relationship,1f he said. IfWe are delighted that the University National Bank is establishing this scholar- ship," said Vice President Henberg, "because it is a cooperative venture that will benefit everyone concerned---the student who receives it, the School of Business Administration and the banking profession." Students who might be eligible for the award should apply to the Bureau of Student Loans and Scholarships. Stotesbery noted that "because we are principally interested in attracting able students into banking careers, we regard the consider ations of academic ability and interest in banking to be superior to those of need. 1f For this first year of the scholarship, $500 will be given to both a sophomore and a junior. -U N S- UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA NEWS SERVICE-220 MORRILL HALL MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 55455 TELEPHONE: 373-2137 APRIL 15, 1966 LIST OF UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA MINNEAPOLIS CAMPUS PUBLIC EVENTS WEEK OF APRIL 16-24 Sat.--April l6--Campus Carnival: 7 p.m.-midnight, Field House, 19th ave.

The announcement was made by George B. Risty, director of the Bureau of Student Loans and Scholarships, and Martin Snoke, associate dean of students, who said the funds were authorized b,y the Higher Education Act of 1965. The scholarships, titled Educational Opportunity Grants, are for undergraduates only, in good academic standing Approximately $58 million has been distributed to some 1,100 institutions of higher learning around the United States, Risty said. The University's share of about $350,000 is for the Minneapolis-St. Paul campus only. The Duluth campus recei ved around $29,000 and Morris, $31,000. Each student who qualifies will receive from $200 to $800 a year from the fedenll funds. In addition, the federal law requires that the University provide the same amount of money for each student, in the form of scholarships, loans, work opportun- ities, or a combination of these. Thus, if a student needs $400 additional money per year, he will receive $200 from the U. S. grant and $200 in some form of University aid. The amount each student needs to help complete his education will be determined by a complex federal formula which takes into account his family's total income and the number of other dependent children, among other factors. The formula will comput~ how much money the family should be able to contribute to the student's college cost~ and this will be deducted from his estimated needs. Because many factors will affect a student's eligibility, anyone who feels he might be qualified is urged to apply. Those who apply by May 15 will receive first priority. High school students who wish to apply for one of the grants, or who would like more information, should contact their high school counselor or principal. (MORE) ------~------~ FEDERAL AID -2- Students who are already enrolled and attending classes at the University will have a chance to hear explanations of the new grants at one of five meetings scheduled for the Minneapolis campus this week and next. The meetings will be held at 3:30 and 4=30 p.m. Tuesday (April 19), in the Minnesota Museum of Natural History; at 3:30 and 4:30 p.m. Wednesday (April 20), also in the museum; and at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 26, in Nicholson hall auditorium. Anyone who cannot attend one of those meetings can get more information from the Bureau of Student Loans and Scholarships or from Pierre Meyer, coordinator of the Work-Study program, 108 Temporary North of Mines. Meyer, Risty and Snoke will speak at the meetings. Risty said that any entering freshman who has completed an application for the 1966-67 Freshman Scholarship program should DQ1 re-apply for an Educational Oppor- tunity Grant. He explained that all such applications are being reviewed automatic- ally to see whether or not the student would qualify. However, students who have applied to the Bureau of Student Loans and Scholarships for any other type of grant for the coming year should inform the bureau if they wish to be considered for the federal grant. Emphasizing that to determine whether any individual student has "exceptional financial need" according to the government's formula is very complicated, Snoke gave the following figures as the maximum incomes for families with varying numbers of children, adding that "it is an oversimplified guideline, giving only an approx- imate idea of who might be eligible."

What she is trying to match up is part-time professional jobs on the campus with women in the Twin Cities area who are able and willing to fill them. The effort has never been made before. Within the last few weeks, questionnaires have been mailed out to approximately 5,000 women, all members of (1) the Faculty Women's Club (for wives of faculty members~ or (2) the Minnesota Plan for Women's Continuing Education. The questionnaire asks for their college degrees if any, special skills such as technical, office, mathematics, writing or library skills, etc., foreign languages spoken, and whether or not they wuld be interested in a part-time or temporary job at the University. As the answers come in, personnel in the Minnesota Plan office will set up files on the replies. The result, hopefully, will be to place women who are interested in a part-time professional job with professors and others on the campus who need their particular skills in research projects and in other ways. "We have to give credit to Arnold Lazarow (professor and head of anatomy) for the original idea," Mrs. Mantini said. "It was his observation that he could not find the part-time research 'WOrkers he and others in his department needed, and he also felt that many faculty wives \\lOuld be glad to have the chance to put their talents to use, if such jobs could be tailored to the hours these women could get away from home~ Mrs. Mantini, who helps place Minnesota Plan women who seek work, designed the matchmaking effort, titled the "Untapped Talent Survey." She adds that they would like to hear from any woman who might be interested in such a working arrangement, even though she is not a member of either of the groups which received the question naires. Mrs. Mantini emphasizes that "these are not volunteer jobs we're trying to f1ll--- . they are salaried positions at the professional level in some highly specialized ficlds.
