LARRY MILLER EXAMINES HIS AWARD
Negro emigration film to be shown
"The Child Returns Home," a film about the emigration of American Negroes to Africa, will be shown at 7:30 p.m. today at the Wesley Foundation, 1314 Oread, for a fifty-cent admission charge.
A discussion of the film and related topics will follow.
Members of the "Black Power" class of the Free University, coordinated by Mylene Rucker, Pomona freshman, began this se-
mester's sessions by discussing recent books, such as "Crisis in Black and White." These discussions were a springboard for a study of black power, the history of American Negroes, and other topics.
The films will be shown to make these ideas available to the entire KU campus, Wayne Sailor, graduate student and a member of the class, said Monday.
Spring Concert Interviews will be held

GM awards $118,000 yearly to 40 young designers in the nation. The United States is divided into regions based on population. First, second and third prizes are then awarded to people in each region.
His last winning car, a functionally designed passenger car, was constructed out of plastic poured into a plaster mold. The metal used for hubcaps, bumpers and the like were made out of chrome-plated brass. Only the wheels were furnished to the designers by GM and everything else had to be made by hand. Fine detail and craftsmanship are the important judging factors.
Miller got interested in designing cars several years ago. He said he has always liked designing and building cars.
Miller's interest seems to be shifting now. Majoring in industrial design, he mentioned that working for Cessna or Boeing would appeal to him much more than working for someone like GM.
"I have become very interested in airplanes. I have just earned my pilot's license and have started building a wing-structure out of honeycomb (aluminum). I'm doing this to test the strength of the metal," he said.
Last summer Miller and a friend in Colorado spent their vacation working on a glider they flew around the Colorado Springs area.
Continued from page I wise, he thought the pre-enrollment system was all right.

Hitt said he has been aware for some time of the English Department's complaints concerning the new pre-enrollment system—especially in the Colleges-within-the-College.
"As far as pre-enrollment of students in the Colleges-within-
the-College is concerned," Hitt said, "the English department is beginning to find that in unity, there is strength. These classes stay together from the first semester until the second and such classes tend to challenge the instructor more. It takes a good instructor to stand up to such a class."
