What are the gains from Fulbright year abroad? These tuestions are asked and answers uggested in the Fulbright issue f the News Bulletin published this nonth (February) by the Institute f International Education, 1 East 17th Street, New York City. T h e Bulletin's special issue ocuses on the U. S. Government xchange program. It contains an irticle on selection and standards iy a member of the national selec ion committee for graduate stu lents, as well as reminiscences and -eactions of American and foreign tudents who have studied abroad mnder the program. There is a re >ort on a summer seminar for eachers as well as the tale of a 'ulbright wife. The most important requirements or a Fulbright grant are academic 1ualification, ability to work in lependently, stated purpose and he indispensable ingredient of per onality. So writes Dr. Catherine strateman Sims, professor of his ory and political science, Agnes scott College, and a member of the ational selection committee for ~raduate students. Dr. Sims notes hat geography is also a considera ion. "The program is intended to eC broadly representative of the ountry at large and applicants rrom small and less well-known in ititutions are entitled to be con idered on an equal basis with hose fronm the educational giants." Contributors to the Bulletin who liscuss their Fulbright experiences nclude two girls who studied in ndia (international relations and Iindu dance), artists who went to taly and France, a teaching as istant in Germany, and the wife i an architect studying in Brit in. There are also reports from oreign students who came to the Jnited States on Fulbright travel ~rants. Among these are a Ger nan engineering student now an ndustrial trainee in the U. S. and British architect and former ~ulbrighter now a city planner in addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The float ng sculpture of a Fulbright stu lent from the Philippines is pic ured. A South Carolina teacher f French reports on a summer eminar for language teachers in F rance. The Fulbright program is part f the International educational ex hangs activity of the Department if State. The Fulbright Act au horizes the use of foreign eurren les and credits acquired through he sale of surplus property abroad or educational exchange. It makes t possible for American students o study abroad and pays travel or foreign students coming to the Jnited States.

In "Behind the Scenes," her a ticle on selection committee proc dures, Dr. Sims states, "From t point of view of a profession educator perhaps the greate shock was the discovery that t primary purpose of the Fulbrig program is not to help bright at dents get Ph.D.'s. What the sele tion committee seeks are represe tative young Americans qualifi for further study and capable profiting by study in a foreig university, not necessarily canc dates for advanced degrees or cos mitted to an academic career." There are excerpts from ti Fifth Annual Report on the Ft bright Program in the Unit, Kingdom. "Much has been writt about the 'culture shock' expel enced by Asians and Africa: when they are first exposed to li in the United States. Less has bet written about the adventures young Americans and Englishmt as they attempt to understand eat other." for techn Representativ< here on the dal B.S. or advanc )CH E MICA L ENGINEERING INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING There's a career fri In any of the follow * PLANT ENGINEERING e PROCESS DEVELOPMEP e FACTORY MANAGEMEN e PRODUCTION I THE GOODi norrow 4. r- licity coi-chairmian; and Josie Geigc Jfl for Donny Russell, dance cc c- chairman. r The dance will be held in tb ; Township Auditorium to the musi b- of Billy May and his orchestra c- .This is the second annual Greel b- Week to be held on the Carolin, campus.

And it? as often as you can. A recent higan State shows that the best tea is every four hours. out choosing a room-mate. Most important thing to look for in room-mates is that they be people of regular habits. This, I say, is arrant nonsense. What if one of their regular habits happens to be beating a great gong from midnight to three a.m.? Or growing cultures in the tooth glass? Or reciting he Articles of War ? Or peanut ' rittle? Regular habits indeed ! I say that beyond quibble. far and away the most important qual ity in room-mates is that they be exactly your size. Otherwise you will have to have their clothes altered to fit you, which can be a considerable nuisance. In fact, it is sometimes flatly impossible.
