WHITE FALCON University Of Maryland Opens New Fifth Term In Keflavik Servicemen here in Keflavik have the opportunity of taking advantage of four new University of Maryland (UM) courses to be offered at the High School during the summer months. “Serious consideration should be given relative to taking hold of educational opportunities such as these,” says Wayne D. Santoni, resident lecturer for UM. While the courses offered may*^ not be in a person’s field of spe- cialization, they could be applied to the general educational portion of his college background, Santoni suggests. “All off-duty educational ac- complishments are also carefully considered when making recom- mendations to various service school programs, officer candidate schools, etc.,” continues the resi- dent lecturer. Funds Available Tuition funds are available for any eligible military personnel. The cost of each course is: $45.00 of which tuition aid will pay $33.75, the serviceman must pay the remaining $11.25. In order to qualify for admis- sion to the University of Mary- land Extension Program, one must be a high school graduate or must have successfully completed a GED examination. Those who have taken a GED examination and failed may retake the exam or a portion thereof and upon suc- cessful completion, then register for the classes. GED exams are given daily, Monday through Friday during regular duty hours by the Education and Training Of- fice. Credits Obtained Three college credits can be ob- tained by taking any one of these courses. Credits earned are trans- ferable to the majority of col- leges. A library of college bulletins is maintained at the High School and interested personnel are in- vited to make use of it. The courses to be offered in term 5 are: English I — This is the basic course in college English. Stress will be made upon improving the student’s ability to express his thought in clear and grammatical- ly correct English. Students can expect to write 10 themes during the 8 week period, 4 of which are written in the classroom. The English I course is a basic re- quirement at all American uni- versities. Classes will be held Tuesday and Thursday evenings by Professor Selph. English III—An advanced Eng- lish course, with English 1 and 2 as prerequisites. Stress will be upon analyzing selected works of world literature ranging from the Iliad through Don Quixote. Two compositions will be written in this class which will be conducted by Professor Selph on Mondays and Wednesdays. A Survey Of European History— This is a Freshman/Sophomore level course. It is designed to give the student a wide background of information about the history and civilization of the Western World. This class is conducted Tuesday and Thursdays by Lt Peter P. Kennedy. Personnel Management II—The second half of the Personnel Man- agement package deals in Per- sonnel Administration problems found in modern business. Various methods and procedures used in job exaluation and merit rating will be studied in detail. Pay plans, the assets and deficiencies will be analyzed. This includes individual and group incentives such as piece work and profit sharing plans. Fringe benefits and their rapid expansion since World War II will be studied. The impact of fringe benefits on total labor costs and their uni- que financial problems and Safety and Training will also be covered. Classes will convene Mondays and Wednesdays, instructed by Lt Junior J. Watson. Registration for these courses is being conducted now at Educa- tion and Training Office (Bldg. 752). Office hours are 8:00 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Term 5 begins May 17 and ends July 9. Classes are filling up and students wishing to register may find themselves unable to, unless they act now. Navy Relief Sets Goal For Record Drive The Navy Relief Society’s an- nual fund raising drive was kicked off here May 4 and Lt Cdr I.C. Crandall, this year’s project of- ficer, is urging all Navy men and Marine Corps personnel to top last year’s mark. Last year Navymen and Ma- rines of the Iceland Defense Force contributed $3,788.66 to Navy Re- lief. Commander Crandall has set a target goal of $4,000 for this year. However, he said he would like to see Navymen and Marines here pitch in and shoot for $5,000. The Navy Relief Society makes its annual appeal for funds from May 4 to June 6, commemorating the Navy-Marine sea and air bat- tles of the Coral Sea and Midway. The double purpose of the an- nual appeal is (1) to draw atten- tion to the services available to Navy and Marine Corps personnel and their families from the So- ciety and (2) to solicit voluntary contributions so that appropriate assistance can be given during emergencies. Sixty-one years of service to its own people is the proud record of the Society. That record has been made possible by the gener- ous donations from Navymen, Marines and civilian friends of the Services through the years. While the record of the Society is not yet available for 1964, in 1963 more than $3 million was handed out in loans without inter- est to servicemen. More than $800,000 was made in outright grants. ALL SMILES—And why not? This was the scene at the Non-Com- missioned Officers’ Club (NCO), April 24, at the NCO Wives’ Club elected new officers at their semi-annual Installation Dinner. The club’s new officers are (from left to right) Mrs. Rose Romo, parlia- mentarian; Mrs. Joni Kozak, treasurer; Mrs. Dianne Sanders, secre- tary; Mrs. Suzanne Spencer, vice-president; and Mrs. Lynn Repp, president.
