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.
