THE BATTALION
FOR FOREIGN STUDENTS
Re-Examination Asked
In Student Programs
(Special to The Battalion)
NEW YORK — Leading educa
tors have endorsed a call for U. S.
colleges and universities to re-ex
amine the philosophy, objectives
and operation of their foreign stu
dent programs.
The committee on the Foreign
Student in American Colleges and
Universities issued a 26-page re
port telling the schools that they
must, among’ other things, spend
more money, cooperate more close
ly with governments and agencies
which sponsor such students and
place international education “into
its proper perspective” as a basic
and essential part of their educa
tional mission.
THE RECOMMENDATIONS
grew out of several recent studies
of the foreign student situation,
such as the Higbee report (“The
Status of Foreign Student Advising
in United States Universities and
Colleges,” by Homer D. Higbee of
Michigan State University), which
defined the inadequacies of for
eign student programs in the near
ly 2,000 institutions which now en
roll foreign students.
The urgency of the need to im
prove foreign student programs is
underlined by the recent increase
in the number of such students,
the committee stressed. “In 1961-
62,” the report stated, “there were
more than 60,000 foreign students
on United States campuses. “In
one decade, the number has increas
ed by 75 per cent, and on the basis
of the present trend, the number
will exceed 100,000 in another 10
years.”
THE REPORT, entitled, “The
College, the University and the
Foreign Student,” says school must
recognize the significance of for
eign students as basic and essent
ial parts of their educational mis
sion, and points out what the
committee calls a “new dimension
of educational exchange,” that of
furthering the development of em
erging countries.
“In vigorously pursuing their
own primary goals — the advance
ment and diffusion of knowledge
— colleges and universities contri
bute also to a primary goal of
United States foreign policy —
the preservation and support of
free nations around the world,” the
authors contended.
THE COMMITTEE called for
more budget and staff for the two
counseling functions, and flatly
stated that the majority of foreign
New Construction'
S t j
Material Invented
Research here to lighten thin-
shelled architectural shapes has
provided an exterior material many
times lighter than lightweight con
crete that can be applied in a
layer as thin as a book cover.
The material consists of high-
standard portland cement, latex
and glass fiber mixed into a slurry
and applied by a spray gun. In
experiments at the Texas Engi
neering Experiment Station, it has
been applied over an acoustical ceil
ing of polyurethane which con
tains the sprung-in-place steel
framework of thin-steel structures
built by the lift-shape technique.
The suitability of the polyure
thane also resulted from experi
ments and after several formula
tions of plastics and application by
spray gun were tried.
The experimentation was spon
sored through a grant from Edu
cational Facilities Laboratories,
Inc., in the interest of thin-shell
shapes having application in school
plants.
The work was done by James H.
Marsh III, inventor of the lift-
shape method whereby framework
is laid out on the ground and
sprung into shape by applying
tension between opposite sides and
lifting from overhead with a winch.
Working with Marsh are gradu
ate students J. D. Raymond and
Kenneth Yancey.
All worked under the supervision
of Ben H. Evans, coordinator of
architectural research for the ex
periment station.
The students, Air Force officers
on leave for study here, utilized
the research in thesis endeavors
involving air flow around struc
tures and concrete use.
Further experimentation for im
proving t h i n-s hell construction
technology will involve waterproof
ing of exteriors and the use of
fiberglass framing.

student advisers, however well-
trained, are prevented from doing
a better job by lack of staff. The
report also pleaded for academic
advising handled by faculty mem
bers who will give “more than
routine attention” to the task.
Present programs of services are
inadequate because of budget, the
report noted. “To supplement
their resources, universities and
colleges should seek funds from
their communities and from vari
ous foundations and private agen
cies,” the authors say.
They also predicted that increased
governmental assistance in this
area will “probably” be required.
