Clebanoff conducting, will appear
at Central Monday. The program
which begins at 0:15 p.m. in the
W ,i r r i n c r Auditorium is the
fouith offering of the Artists
Course Series.
The Clebanoff Strings will present a two-part program which
will indicate why this group is
often thought of as two orchestras
in one.
The first half features classical
music of a .familiar vein, including Mozart's "Symphony No. l in
D Major" and Haydn's "Concerto
in D Major."
The second half features popular music from their Moods in
Music album. Included in this
section wil be "Swingln' Sweethearts," "Tammy," "Claire do
Lume" and selections from "My
Fair Lady," and "Showboai."
Featured soloists include Janice
Harbeson, pianist; Lynne Turner,
harpist and Millicent Fritsche, soprano.
Herman Clebanoff was born in
Chicago and studied violin in
Europe as well as in America
fiom the age of five. His professional career began while still a
teenager as a member of the Chi-
i-ago Symphony Orchestra.

Wayne State University is in
the process of establishing an experimental college with the aid of
•> S700.000 grant from the Ford
foundation.
The purpose of the college will
bo to work out an integrated pro-
Mam of general education continuing throughout the student's
four years in college.
Central Michigan College has
"■■reived a S50.000 grant from the
J'oid Foundation for a similar
I'tojeet.
Central will use its grant to
help finance an experimental undergraduate program in teacher
education. The program will
stfengthen basic courses in genial education and focus professional training oh paid internships.
The Wayne program will include work in natural science, social seience and the humanities
™ all four undergraduate years,
•••thin these three general areas,
"'adilional divisions of subjects
into academic courses will be
largely discarded.
Instead, the main areas of study
w'll be combined to form courses
covering the basic areas. English
composition will be integrated
,nI° aU studies in the curriculum.
The Wayne project also involves experimentation with
classroom conditions. Courses will
w taught through a combination
of large lecture classes, small discission groups and independent
study.
The Sputnik scare last year has
left its imprints on education, especially education of math, science, foreign language or engineering students. The National
government is helping to promote
these subjects by appropriating
six million dollars for the education of students on these curricula.
Central has applied for §100,000
of the money which Michigan will
receive. "Because of the size of
Central and the limited mone.v
available to Michigan colleges,
the hope of getting that much
money is zero." said Mr. Norvall
Bovee, vice-president of Business
and Finance.
Central must match from its locally-supported loan fund one-
ninth Of the monev it receives
from the national fund.
Who is eligible for a loan from
this fund? There are two main
qualifications: (1) the student
must have superior academic ability in math, science, foreign language or engineering, and (2) the
student must prove financial
need. Priority for the loans will
be given to students on the elementary or secondary teaching
curriculum.
A student can borrow up to
Sl.000 in one year and the maximum of S5.000 in five years. "It
wduld be very difficult to get that
kind or money (the entire $1,000),
because you would virtually have
to prove to the Student Loan
Fund Committee that you didn't
have a nickel. The money isn't
being made available to discourage ambition and initiative," Mr.
Bovee said.
"There's no use for students
who can't meet the qualifications
of need and superior academic
achievements in math, science,
foreign language or engineering
to clutter up the works by taking
up our time, but we'll welcome
legitimate aplieations lor loans,"
he commented, ,
Applications can be picked up
at the reception desk at the business office. Thev should be filled
out and returned immediately so
that when and if Central's appropriation is decided the loans can
be handled immediately.
Repayment of the loan doesn't
begin until one year after the
student finishes school. A student
would then have ten years to pay
back the loan and the three per
cent interest.
If the student goes into the
teaching profession for five years,
half of the loan, principle and interest, will be cancelled. Ten per
cent of the loan is cancelled each
year until half of the loan has
been cancelled.
Central conducted a survey of
students in the dorms and in personnel classes recently to see how
many students needed to borrow
money. Because the figures were
so high, they have been lowered.
Out of a sampling of 28 per cent
of the total enrollment about one-
third of the students wanted to
borrow S300.     ,
From the locally supported
loan fund in the fiscal year of
1957-58, 234 loans were made totaling S3G.293. This fund does not
have as much red tape and is ex-
celent for small, short term ioans.

Mt. Pleasant's city commissioners were far from lonesome at
last Monday evening's commission
meeting when about 15 people
turned out to protest possible legislation which would prohibit
overnight parking on the city's
streets. Several Central students
were among the protest group.
None of the commissioners were
certain who had first suggested
the legislation, but according, to
Douglas   W.  MeFarlane,  city
mayor,  the thought  behind  the
: possible legislation is "to keep a
j cleaner and neater city."
j      The  bill,  which  would  pro-
|   hibii   parking  on  i h e   streets
|  from 2 a.m. io S a.m., was tabled
■   until   further   investigation   of
!   the matter could be conducted.

The  main  attraction  of   the
evening takes place half way
through ihe dance when new
Kaydeiie commanders are announced and brought to center
front to receive their caps.
These coeds are chosen by the
cadets in the unit they represent.
The   lovely  young   commanders
will preside over the ROTC parades in the spring, and they will
choose the best cadet company at
each parade.
Although pushed to the background by the presentation of the
new kaydettes at halftime ceremonies, Central's three top cadets
will also have a chance to stand
in the limelight. The new brigade
commander and the two new battle group commanders will be announced.
AH military personnel are invited io attend. Either ihe uniform or a tuxedo is required

mate that there were still hundreds of ears parked on the
streets." The commissions said
' they had no idea how many cars
would be affected by the possible
I legislation.
Tom Tretheway, member of the
TAU fraternity, explained to the
commissioners that nine cars park
; around  the  fraternity  house  on
i South College and that if the bill
; is passed, the fraternity couldn't
; possibly turn its yard into a park-
• ing lot which could accommodate
the ears.
A commissioner asked if ihe
parking problem had been considered   when   tho   bouse   was
purchased.   He   also   explained
thai the college was aware of
the bill, and said there was ample space for all the off-campus
'   cars in ihe college storage lots.
The commissioners said that
the problem of what was io be
■   done with the off-campus cars
'   was noi theirs.

Alan Kronbach. said, "This legislation is something the city commission has thought about now for

some time. Some cities have control over their streets whether in
the winter or the summer." He
went on to say, "When we have
had quite a bit of snow, we have
had to ask people to move their
cars. We have also noticed in the
south end of the city some cars
are left parked in the same spot
for a week at a time."
Dr. Robert Hall, M.D. at Central's health service, asked who
this new bill was favoring. Hall
said "people have parked on the
city streets for a long time and
apparently none of them have
complained about being snowed
in by the snow plow. If the legislation is favoring the snow-plow
driver so that he can make nice
straight, cleanly plowed streets
and not have to drive around the
ears, I can't feel very sorry for
him."
Several possible solutions to the
parking problem were offered by
members of the protest group.
Some advanced the idea of parking on the East-West streets on
the odd days of the months and
on the North-South streets on the
even days. Others asked about
the possibility of parking on the
odd house number side of the
streets during the odd number
days and on the even number side
during the even number days.

space. Decisions need to be made
now so that overall planning may
be completed.
Students planning on living
off-campus may get the listings
of available space in the Housing
Office at 102 Warriner Hall.
Polley reminded students living
off-campus of the following off-
campus college policy and are responsible for abiding by this policy.
1. Accommodations without Private Entrances in homes where
there is an College-approved

'On M'Opportunities
Paul Winger, director of placement, urges any student who has
not definitely decided on a career
or a vicinity where he wants to
work to come in and acquaint
himself with the wealth of material on job opportunities in the
office. He especially wants people
who are scheduled for interviews
to come in before the interview
and look at the materials and
brochures of the company or
place which is interviewing them.
In this way they can get a pretty
good idea of what to expect from
the company in the way of opportunities and chances for advancement.
The office has placement books
which contain information about
almost every company in the
United Slates and the types of
people they are looking for. The
brochures have been taken out of
the file drawers and have been
placed in the waiting room. There
is also a file or interviewers in
the office.
