Budaet Board Finishes Session (Continued from fage 1) Laughlin voted against the pro posal. Drummonds explained that the Migrant Labor Project had brought a lot of prestige to the University and said that in order to continue the program, it was essential Jo send people into the field. Toward the end of the meet ing, however, the Board passed a motion increasing the funds to be given to the Migrant Labor Project to $10,000 instead of the original $7 500. After they did this, the Board members decided to move the Migrant Labor Project allotment in toto to the "B" budget. McLaughlin said that moving this money to the "B" budget will still leave a $4,400 contingency fund in the main budget, and called turning in a budget with out a contingency fund “almost unheard of.” Still a Chance Coltman said he did not feel putting the total sum for Migrant Labor on the “B" budget would harm the program’s chances of IEC Program Needs Recruits The University International Education Center is recruiting students for counselors in a new program called "Experiment on Campus," designed to provide so cial and academic aid to incoming foreign students at the Univer sity. The program, approved by Uni versity President Arthur Flem ming Wednesday night, provides for close, informal-type counsel ing for incoming foreign students next September. Counselors selected for the pro gram would meet with new for eign students over a five-day period next fall in small, infor mal groups to explain registra tion procedures, the use of the library and study facilities, and to familiarize the students with lectures and note-taking Fifteen American students and 15 foreign students who have pre viously attended the University will be chosen for the new pro gram. The students would also be familiarized with American cus toms and introduced to seminars, informal games, and other social activities at the University. The counselors would continue in their advisory capacity during the year, holding office hours in the IEC Office in the Student Union. According to IEC spokes men, it is hoped that this will relieve much of the counseling burden now being borne by the Foreign Student Office. IEC officials point to the need for such a program, because of complications arising when for eign students arrive, such as der lay in arrival of monetary grants or spending money from home to foreign students, housing prob lems, and “ineffective utilization of the foreign students as an aca demic resource." The IEC has expressed its feel ing in these respects, foreign stu dents are often neglected, and that the new program represents a significant advance in the for eign student program. Committee to Hold Last Meeting The Faculty Student Commit tee to End the War in Viet Nam will hold their last meeting of the term starting at 7:30 p.m. today with a prelude of the replaying of the speech by Special Forces Hero Don Duncan given at the University this term.

Goldschmidt said that splitting the allotment would show the "super-budget committee” that the Board was interested in the program and recommended that Drummonds watch this item care fully after it left the SU-EdAc Budget Board DuShane seemed to sum up faculty opposition to the Migrant ; Labor Project allotment when he ] called it an "indefensible budget.” All of tne other bt lgets turned into this Board, he said, "have been very detailed, well-reasoned and well thought out.

Other items on the “B” budget include $700 for two forensics tournaments, $3,090 for an ASUO civil service secretary, $2,500 for a SU Board civil service sccre tary, and $2,500 for the second ASUO research assistant, which was cut from the original budget request. Dean Jones, in the first of four motions he introduced, moved that the $1,500 for the "awareness series” be taken out of the $12,000 ASUO Assemblies and Conference allotment and be returned to the SU Forum Committee. This mo tion was passed 4-0-3.

Jones then moved that an other $1,200 for cosponsorship be moved out of the ASUO As semblies and Conference allot ment and be returned to the SU Koruni Committee budget.

Start thinking!” A lot of people believe that someday computers will do all their thinking for them. Well, a funny thing is going to happen on the way to the future: You’re going to have to think harder and longer than ever. Computers can’t dream up things like Picturephone service, Telstar» satellite, and some of the other advances in communications we have made. Of course, we depended on computers to solve some of the problems connected with their development. But computers need absolutely clear and thorough instructions, which means a new and tougher discipline on the human intelligence. And it will take more than a computer to create a pocket phone the size of a matchbook, let’s say... or find a practical way to lock a door or turn off an oven by remote telephone control, or to make possible some of the other things we’ll have someday. It takes individuals... perhaps you could be one ... launching new ideas, proposing innovations and dreaming dreams. And someday, we're going to have to find a way to dial locations in space Makes you think. Bell System American Telephone 4b Telegraph and Associated Companies
