Foreign Service Academy Proposed
By KAY MILLS
Collegian Washington
Correspondent
The Ugly American raised
the cry that too many United
States diplomats go abroad
unprepared for their jobs
both culturally and politically.
In an attempt to solve this prob
lem, a U.S. Foreign Service Ac
ademy on an equal rating with
West Point, Annapolis and the Air
Force Academy was proposed in
a bill introduced Jan. 9, 1959, by
Sen. Stuart Symington (D.-Mo.).
The academy would require no
tuition —in
: fact, students would
received the same pay and allow
ances granted the military cadets
and midshipmen.
Applicants would have to pass
competitive examinations and
be admitted on the basis of mer
it. A fair percentage of young
women would be enrolled.

16 Seniors To Get
ROTC Commissions
At Commencement
Sixteen seniors, who will grad- .
uate on Friday will also he pre
sented reserve commissions in the
Army, Navy or Air Force.
Their commissions are pre
sented in recognition of their
having completed the four-year
Reserve Officers Training Corps
program.
Seniors who will be commis
sioned in the Army are: Charles
D. Sweeny, A. Bradley Grando
vic, Richard C. Neely, Wayne L.
Smith, Gene W. Rush, Robert J.
Cowan, Eugene Hryckowian, and
James F. Mac Kay.
Seniors who will be commis
sioned in the Air Force are: Da
vid A. Knight, Randall P. Quinn,
John A. Bodnar, Donald D. Pierce
and William R. Doyle.
Seniors who will be commis
sioned in the Navy are: David S.
James, Harlan E. Williams and
Michael S. Zbailey.
The national foreign service
school, to be located in the mid
west, would be under the State
Department, but graduates could
serve in any U.S. government
agency overseas.
Symington said in introducing
the bill that the failures recounted
in "The Ugly American" "did not
come about because the Commun
ists were 10 feet tall, or more in
telligent, but because they were
better trained."
He contends that the U.S.
mistakes -are not made deliber
ately by its representatives but
have resulted from a "lack of
background" about the lan
guage, history and customs of
the country to which they are
assigned.
Symington stated in a magazine
article last year that 50 per cent
of the people in the U.S. diplo
matic corps had no knowledge of
any language other than English
and that 75 per cent of its new
lowships will be awarded in
October for full time scientific
study and/or research for tenure
periods from six months to two
years. The annual stipend for
these fellowships is $4500 plus
an allowance of $5OO for each
dependent with limited travel
and expense allowance, Applica
tion deadline is Sept. 0.
In December approximately 300
science faculty fellowships will be
awarded to individuals to improve
their competence as college or uni
versity teachers of science, mathe
matics and engineering.
Eligibility requirements in•
clude a baccalaureate degree
and three years of college' or
university teaching experience
on full time basis. Application
deadline is October 10.
About 75 senior postdoctoral fel
lowships will be awarded in De
cember to scientists five years or
more past their doctoral degree,
who have received recognized sta
ture in their fields. Application
deadline is October 10.
Application materials for any of
these fellowships may be obtained
from the Graduate School Office.
A bulletin at the office gives fur
ther information.

Llewellyn E. Thompson, top
U.S. diplomat in Moscow, is the
only U.S. ambassador to a Com
munist country who speaks the
native language.
Consequently, emphasis in
academy classes would be on
studies of foreign languages as
well as cultures.
As to the possibility of such an
academy becoming a reality, Sy
mington reported by letter re
cently that the measure is still
pending before the State Foreign
Relations Committee.
He added that it is his hope that
the bill "will be brought before
the full Senate for consideration
in the near future."
In his speech of Jan. 9, 1959, Sy
mington also said: "Surely if we
can afford three service academies
for possible hot war, we can af
ford one Foreign Service Academy
to handle the cold war which is
now going on."
