Singe Ferris State College is recognized for its combination of science, technology and the arts, Dr. Salk is expected to discuss the com- bination in a talk showing how the tools of medicine, such as the Salk vaccine, modify the environment for the benefit of mankind. Dr. Salk is most widely known for his work in developing the first effec- tive polio vaccine for which he won national and worldwide acclaim fol- lowing its release in 1955.

When Francoise Gilot gave her convocation address at Ferris in November of 1968, she had recently published a best selling book entitled “Life with Picasso” in which she re- lated some of her experiences with Pablo Picasso during a ten-year period During that time she bore him two children, Claude and Paloma. Paloma, who Parisians think looks like her famous father, will ac- company her mother on the visit to Ferris. Now Mme. Gilot is married to another famous personage, Dr. Jonas Salk, developer of the poliomyelitis vaccine. Dr. Salk will accompany his wife to the campus and give a convo- cation lecture in the area of ecology Mme. Gilot-Salk began painting in 1940 working at the Academic Julian in Paris. From 1944 until 1954 she worked under the direction of Picasso She says she wrote the book because she felt she was a witness to the life of a man who has made an important contnibution. “I felt 1 could give in- sight to his art and the man himself,” she said. Mme. Gilot-Salk’s art exhibit and Dr. Salk’s lecture are open to the public without admission charge ‘IT want to listen’ . says new president by Judy Hart News Writer “T feel it is a real privilege to be president of Ferris,” declared Dr. Robert Ewigleben at a conference with student leaders Friday. “My first impressions (of Ferris) are very positive. The Ferzis Idea is a great idea. It is an institution for now and for the future. It’s moved a long way in a short time, but it’s got some catching up to do. Dr. Ewigleben fielded several ques- tions at random about school policy. Asked wh ether he was for or against hours for women, Ewigleben replied that he felt students new to life away from home need hours, 12 Noon - Competition-Intramural Field 5 p.m. - AWards Presentation Followed by Dance-Dome Room bracket will tend to automatically bring about an easing of restrictions at the college level also. Attendance decisions, he said, should be left with individual instruc- tors. On scholarship aid to athletes, he declared: “Aid should be given on the basis of need, period! Athlete or no doesn’t matter.” The new president said student leaders should definitely maintain 2.0 averages or give up their positions, and that the school should recognize lead- ership stress by giving scholastic credit for certain positions Dr. Ewigleben said he would wel- come student suggestions on ways to meet with students, and sugge .ted set- ting aside an hour a week for this at the second of the two-part convo- cation series last Tuesday. “We in Israel need peace and want peace,” declared Leor. “Israel is fed up with war. Israel wants to live and let live. It is our point of view that both sides don’t solve the problem be- cause one side wants something the other side can’t possibly give, for the Arab world wants nothing less than Israel’s destruction. Whatever we are ready to give up is not enough. There is no compromise, for the only ‘com- promise’ the Arabs will accept is the termination of the ctate of Isracl.” —
