In a speecial meeting of the Undergraduate Student Council this week, students
voted unanimously to accept a resolution to place $50,000 in a fund for the purpose
of creating a basic endownment. The endowment will be the foundation for the establishment of "The Undergraduate Student Government Professorship Chair on International Affairs."
The contribution by the students is the first step toward reaching the ultimate goal
referred to as the "Quarter-Million Dollar Challenge."
A $250,000 sum is the amount which the Chair committee will be aiming for in
order to carry out their program.
According to Bill Frey. originator of the plan, the chair was designed to bring
outstanding professionals and educators from various fields of national and
international affairs to lecture at UM for a semester. Classes could be scheduled in Beaumont Lecture Hall or University College in order to accommodate as
many as 2.000 students.
Professors' salaries would come from a trust which would evolve from the success
of the "Quarter-Million Dollar Challenge."
The original principle of this fund woul 1 not be used—merely the interest would
provide for salaries.
The $50,000 will be taken fromf
student   funds   already   available
and not  yet  earmarked  for  use.
Bill Cornell, USG president,
has announced that letters will
be sent from Philadelphia "chal-
leging" the parents to match the
amount donated by their sons
and daughters. This will mark
the national launching of the
"Quarter-Million Dollar Challenge" at the same time UM is
in Philadelphia for the Liberty
Bowl game.
The challenge will also be extended to various national foundations and community leaders.
Two students will be selected
to represent the University in
Philadelphia  next  weekend.

of an intensive crackdown on student car owners who have not
purchased parking stickers. Any
un-stickered cars on campus will
lie- towed away, according to Uncle I graduate Student Government
and the Physical Plant.
"There are 5,600 cars on campus, .end about 200 arc not reg-
i.teiicl. Since the physical plant
cannot track down all of these
students individually, they will
tow the cars away. Students can
■St their cars back hy calling

explained USG president, Bill
Cornell.
"We can't identify all these
people as students, but the police
have been documenting the cars
by license plates," said John
O'Dav, director of the Plant.
By MIKE MUNZELL
Dr. Charles D. Tharp, vice
president of academic affairs and
dean of faculties, sent the following memorandum to all faculty
members last weekend, at the
request  of student leaders.
"That students who miss classes to attend the Liberty Bowl
not he penalized with double
cuts, etc., for so doing if they
present evidence to their instructors that they actually attended
the game.
"The students also hope that
no examinations will be especially scheduled for Dec. 15. 18.
Ill, and 20: and that if already -
scheduled examinations are
given, the students may be permitted to make up, without
penally, the examinations they
miss because of attendance at
the game."
Aftei the distribution of this
memo some instructors changed
plans, but most saw no need for
alteration.
Dr. William B Munson, UC
Social Science director, stated, "I
have exams slated for Dec. 15 and
Dec IH There will be no makeup for students unless they have
an official excuse from the cli .in
of men or the dean of women.
"I don't consider attendance
at the Liberty Bowl a valid
excuse. To postpone Ihe exams
would he wholly impractical,"
Munson   remarked.
Dr. Melanie R. Rosborough,
chairman of Foreign Languages,
commented, "I have no tests
planned for Dec. 15 to 20 exce|>t
a proficiency exam on Dec. 16
for language majors. I never give
regular tests on the week before
Christmas. I'm not making an
exception because of the football
game, it's just not my policy to
mve exams on those days."
Dr. John I. McCollum. head of
the English department, shared
this practice. "I don't usually
|'.ive tests on the week before
Christmas. I had not planned any
exams and I won't reschedule any
for those days. If a student cuts
classes for the game, the respon-
■ibility of making up the work
will lie on the individual," he
said.
The burden of decision is now
shifted to Ihe student. The individuals who have tests scheduler! will have to decide whether
or not to chance failing an exam
