A three-man committee selected a limited number of fellows from full time-faculty members of colleges and, universities , located in the Sixth. Federal Reserve District —which includes Florida, Georgia, Alabama, the southern halves of Louisiana and ' Mississippi, and the eastern two thirds of Tennessee. * Theme of" the seminar will tie "The- Formation of Monetary and Credit Policy and Its Execution."

(American Studies). . - - The Woodrow Wilson Foundation named, a total of 1,058 students to fellowships. They were selected from 9,975 candidates nominated, from 965 colleges. Of some 2,600 interviewed, 1,407 received honorable mention.. ' Full Year's Tuition Each Fellowship awarded.covers a full year's tuition .'and; fees at a graduate school of the'Fellow's choice and a living allowance of $1,500. Out of the Foundation's former Fellows, 546 are teaching at 293 colleges and .universities and another 641 expecting to complete- their doctorates by fall. The 1,058 awards for first year . graduate study announced, today represent the culmination of the first five-year program made possible by a Ford Foundation grant of $24,500,000 in 1957. With the new awards, some 5,000 college graduates will have started on careers leading to" teaching. Of those previously appointed, 80 per cent' are either teaching.yat the college or ^secondary level or are continuing in graduate school. A candidate accepting a Wood- row Wilson Fellowship assumes a moral obligation to complete at least.one year of.graduate.stu.dies. and to give serious thought to" a career in college teaching.. The Woodrow Wilson Fellowships may be held at any graduate school in the United States or Canada admitting the Fellows. -^ '.' ...Additional Funds ?Although' the ?-Fellowships cover only the first year .of graduate study, the Foundation also encourages graduate "schools in'their support of students after one year of study by granting additional funds to each school where a Woodrow Wilson Fellow is enrolled. . Commenting on the election of Fellows for 1962-63, Dr. Hans Ros- enhaupt, National Director, of the Foundation,-said, "the telling distinction bestowed by the program upon future college teachers comes with the first step in the competition: nomination-, by a faculty member. Out of every 100 college seniors throughout the United' States and Canada only one or. two are nominated; every single one of the 9,975 nominees should be "encouraged to enter graduate school.' "This year's candidates presented such strong claims that several regional selection committees asked for permission to exceed their assigned quotas. Unfortunately, the budget under which we operate provides only for 1,000 Fellows a year," Dr. Rbsenhaupt explained. "Many unsuccessful candidates presented recommendations which under normal circumstances would have guaranteed them election. . "Winners in this year's competition came from 46,,'states in this country and from eight.provinces in Canada;" Dr. Rosenhaupt' noted. "Four, winners, are from Puerto Rico, one from Panama and one from the Canal Zone. Over 1,400 candidates who had been invited for'an interview but who did not win a ' Fellowship were ' awarded, honorable mention.

Michael Gillum, Lakeland: Each Fellowship awarded covers .a. full year's tuition and fees at a graduate school of the Fellow's choice and a living allowance of $1,500. ' . .-••■■ S.U.B. Movie "'The Red Badge of Courage,'" adapted from the Stephen Crane story about a youth's coming of age during a Civil' War. battle, is a movie that should please anyone with a "mind sufficiently uncomplicated to believe that a brief exhibition.-of ■valor; can ,-provide , an adolescent with" a passport to maturity. As directed and produced by John Huston, the picture is as simple and as forthright as ■ the nursery rhyme about the King of France and his twenty thousand men who went up a hill and then came down. It is interrupted.by-the flight of the hero and some of his Union colleagues, who arefleeting- ly convinced that arguing with shot and shell is no way to achieve a rounded personality.' However,' after a spot of innocent soul- searching, all hands, and our boy in particular, resolve to do or die. Presently, with Stars and Stripes . held high,' they , charge into the Rebels, who, you may be sure, take to their heels in the face of the ■ loyal onslaught. Mr. Huston has provided some reproductions of Civil,War.scenes that look .authentic",, and his panoramas of battle are certainly exciting' to observe. Nevertheless, the characters who populate 'The Red Badge of i Courage' don't seem to have much more; depth than ■ a bunch of juveniles in a'Beaver Patrol. Their ' d i a 1 o g u e, which centers around the problem of whether they'are 'skeered' or not, clashes-- awkwardly with' an inter-' mittent .commentary that consists of readings-from Stephen' Crane's prose:. As the hero of- the film, Audie- Murphy behaves with the soldiery competence that might be expected' from the'most decorated figure of the United States Army in the Second World War, and as his' sidekick, BUI Mauldin reveals quite.a" gift for acting."

"Under the' new constitution, we hope to .bring more campus organizations and committees into one body,' for both the purpose of- efficiency and closer contact with all the .students." ' ' In its first stage of planning, the proposed; constitution creates a student senate and judiciary. Jim Lanier, and Dan Denman are in the process of contacting various student, organizations, to get an idea, of ;student opinion con- cerning'the;newconstitution. • "It has been the case in the past, that class officers have had little to do. ■ It is our intent to make them responsible members of the student legislature and put some meaning and importance behind the offices." The constitution is1 going through phases of radical change at the present time, but it should be ready to be printed in the Reporter and be voted on by ■ the student body sometime within" the next few weeks. The Reporter will keep the student tody abreast of the progress in. the development of the framing of the constitution by giving weekly reports.
