representative and a member of
the Air Force Sponsor Corps, advanced the motion which was defeated.
The vote followed a brief verbal
skirmish in which one delegate
objected to the (rant because "we
loaned the Air Force $1,500 a while
bark and haven't seen hide nor
hair of it since."
Some of the congress members
apparently voted against the pro

posed appropriation only because
SC Treasurer Cecil Bell, Agriculture, was uncertain as to the
amount of money which Student
Congress has in its treasury.
"We certainly don't want to give
away money .that we haven't got,"
objected one delegate.
Bell appointed a committee of
four congress members to look
into the organization's finances.
Meanwhile, the Aerospace Science Department is hurriedly attempting to solicit money for the
trip from other quarters.
"We're going if I have to write
a check to pay for the damn thing
myself," said Capt. Dale Rook, a
department instructor.
A plea for money was made
directly to Air Force ROTC cadets
In their classes yesterday.
Slips of paper were given to the
cadets which, if filled out, will
enable their Instructors to withdraw the needed amount of money
from the military deposit of each
cadet who decides to contribute.

any damages to military equipment that he might cause. If he

Indian Librarian Commends U.S. Education
By JUNE GRAY

Krrml Staff Writer
The American higher educational system is superior to
the F.uropean systnn, says an
Indian librarian who is visiting here this month.
Uindiieshwre Mishira, the assistant itirertor of the library of
University in Bihar, India,
commended that the chief difference in the two systems steins
from the emphasis we put u;mn
extensive research and reading
aud they upon memory.
This Is undesirable because ones
the material is lost from memory,
it is none forever; but here in
America, he explained, you have
libraries with many thousands of
volumes to which you may refer.
In India,' which is based upon
tha European educational sysltun,
though, because of a lack of fund.;,
students must rely upon very few

The curriculum and examinations are planned in consideration of this handicap.
India has a five year program.
The first three years are devoted
to undergraduate
work which
leads to a bachelor degree and
the second two years to a master
degree. Three years of additional
study must be completed for a
doctor's degree.
The enrollment system is quite
different, Mishlra said. In India,
the entering student chooses three
majors, then his freedom ends.
He has no choice of courses;
they are determined by the registrar. Each course is specifically
required tn. each major field.
Furthermore, the student has
no ilioiee of professors. The professor decides which students he
wants in his class and he send'
a list to the registrar. Then the
registrar notifies the student of
which class he Is In.
The Indian testing system is

much harder, according to Mbhira.
The professor teaching the course
gives brief tests during the year
which do not add to the final
grade. At the end of the year, an
examination over the entire course
is prepared and given by a professor from another university. He
determines whether the student
passes or fails.
If the student passes, he Is promoted to the next year. There is
no such thing as credit hours.
At the end of the three year
period, a final comprehensive examination on all three majors Is
also given by professors from
other universities to determine if
a degree shall be gi anted.
Mishira, who has been in the
United States since October, is
observing and studying the American educational system especially
