President Kennedy's request for standby authority to call up 150,000 reserves was unanimously passed by the Senate, An Anti-Castro organization based in Puerto Rico, announced it had shelled three ships in Cuban waters, and predicted a “much bigger” attack. President Kennedy athis Thursday press conference told everybody to calm down.

Formerly, it attracted only graduate students and a few rare undergraduates. But today, were they all in one place, our wandering scholars would filla university larger than all but a half dozen universities in the United States. According to estimates, nearly 25,000 young Americans from hundreds of U.S. colleges will spend at least part of the 1962-63 school year at foreign universities. Notable inthe over-all trend is the fact that a growing proportion of the U.S. students heading overseas-about a fourth this year--is made up of undergraduates, chiefly sophomores and juniors. As might be expected, Europe is experiencing the in other countries this yea will be studying there. What's behind this trend?

Intellectual iso; lation on the campus is a = dead issue, the Institute says., © equal to a year's tuition, room and board at private U.S. colleges. A six-month Stay, including a semester of study, may range from $1,400 to $1,600. But, the Institute warns, the unwary student faces problems and pitfalls. Foreign study, it says, is rewarding in the degree to w hich the student can be "immersed" in the European university and theculture of a different land, The amount of immersion depends on his previous education, his ability in a foreign tongue, and his cap_acity for adjusting to alien ways. The vast differences between the two systems have challenged American educators convinced of the value of foreign study for U.S. undergraduates. To bridge the “educational gap” they have supplemented European university courses with heavy doses of language instruction, special lectures and orientation to Europe. The result is an accomodation of European learning to U.S, college requirements. American colleges are keeping close tabs on overseas study in the absence of InTravel certainly luressome . students. But Institute officials find more and more youngsters want to enrich their future studies through on-the-spot investigation of Europe's culture, histor y, After the death of Isaac Bedloe in 1673, his widow sold Bedloe Island on which the Statue of Liberty stands for 80 pounds ($400), politics and languages.

Some 200 U.S. colleges and universities have approved the three programs conducted by the Institute in Europe.

Program Announced For Marine Band Concert GRASS VALLEY ----Lt, Col. Albert Schoepper, director ofthe “President's Own” United States Marine Band, has released the program for the evening of Oct. 20 when this 55 -piece musical organization will perform in the Veteran's Memorial Building in Grass Valley, The’concert is sponsored by the Nevada County 4-H Club Council, Commencing with the National Anthem, the President’s music men will render 11 varied selections listed on the printed program.

Owen Reed, After a ten-minute interstitutions and provide them with useful background for formal course work. The Vienna and Paris programs are open to juniors and some sophomores, while the Freiburg program is limited to juniors, Allthree programs are described in a brochure available from the Institute of European Studies, a nonprofit organization headquartered at 35 E. Wacker Drive, Chicago, Most educators agree that, in the sciences and in business fields, for example, foreign universities can add little to what the U.S. undergraduate may readily obtain at home. What Europe does have to offer, especially to liberal arts students and those in general studies, is the wealth of its art, literature, history, politicalvariety, cultural tradition and languages. Co epee mission, the Marine Band will lead off with another original w ork for the band, the stirring “Marchof the Steel Men", by Charles Belsterling. Then will follow a waltz "Tales from the Vienna Woods", by Johann Strauss, Jr.; nocturne "Dreams of Love", by Franz Liszt; "Prologue from Pagliacci", a baritone solo by Ruggiero Leoncavallo and sung by William J ones; and finally Tschaikowsky's "Capriccio Italien".
