and have neen anxious to assert its'
superiority to other universities," the
propaganda agency declares. But
the wartime student, in the partial
English statement, has a stronger
and more intimate sense of a "com-
mon interest in culture."
Today's British undergraduate is
seen by the Library as being much
more aware of the university as a
force in the life of society. "much
more serious in his view of the pur-
poses that universities serve." The
release praises such bodies as the
National Union of Students and the
International Students' Service which
"express and mobilize this new spir-
it."
The Union of Students, the Library
relates, has just issued a special
appeal that, universities and univer-
sity students should be specially con-
sidered during the national emer-
gency. It points out that great diffi-
culties have been caused to students
because of evacuation measures; sev-

players and from speaking at high
school meetings, and making manda-
tory the keeping of public records
of financial aid received by all ath-
letes at member schools.

Nazi Univesitips Reopen
German higher education will re-
surne its full scope this week when
more than 30 universities and tech-
nical colleges which closed at the out-
break of the war reopen their classes,
the German Library of Information,
a division of the Reich's Consulate
in New York, announced.
Such universities as Berlin, Mu-
nich, Leipzig and Breslau are ex-
pected to renew their regular
curricula, the Library declares, al-
though a few of their medical de-
partments will be excepted. Various
technical schools, specializing in soil
culture, world ti'ade, economics, for-
estry and agriculture, have been or-
dered to continue, the Library's report
says.
Newly acquired territories will also
gain educational facilities, according
to the Library, for "in Posen, now re-
stored to Germany," a new college, to
assume the character of a university,
is to be inaugurated. Sixty former
residents of the "Baltic countries"
have been assigned to this institu-
tion.
The Nazi source reveals that the
war has diminished the number of
foreign students in the Reich to 1,941,
of which 45 are Americans. This aca-
demic year, it concludes, will be divid-
ed into three terms "in order to ex-
pedite the education of youth seeking
to establish itself in the learned pro-
fessions."

For Next Issue
If you have been able to coax one
more short story, essay, play or poem
out of your typewriter before start-
ing your cramming for exams, .Per-
spectives would like to consider it.
The deadline for submission of
manuscripts is tomorrow, according
to James Allen, '40, and Harvey Swa-
dos, '40, co-editors of the campus
literary magazine.
Contributions may be left at the
English office in Angell Hall, the
Engineering English office or the
Publications B'uilding.
There are no taboos on the types
of material writers may submit. The
editors welcome short stories, short
shorts, plays or radio skits, any form
of poetry and either formal or in-
formal essays.
An attempt is being made this year
by the editors to give a brief criticism
of each rejected manuscript. Each
contribution is read by one of the
committee and, if it merits it, is
passed on to the board of editors for
final selection.

The Michigan University of the Air
now broadcasts 17 programs weekly
over stations WJR and WMBC in
Detroit and WCAR in Pontiac.
Music of the 'campus studio's wood-
wind quintet will come through
WCAR today at 2:45 p.m. Then,
.ver WJR, "Your Interesting Chil-

dren" discussions continue as Prof.
Waldo Abbot interviews Dr. Edward
W. Blakeman, Counselor-in Religious
Education, on "How to Help Your
Child Answer His Religious Ques-
tions." The time is 3:30 p.m. Tom
Harmon, '41, announces.
Carrying programs through the new
station in Pontiac now enables the
broadcasting of programs not ar-
ranged in advance. Such are emer-
gency and current broadcasts as that
of the Michigan Pastors' Conference
to be held here the week of Jan. 22.
As all past programs have been defin-
itely scheduled, events taking place
here couldn't get on the air until
now.
Negotiations are under way, never-
theless, for broadcasting the J-Hop
over WJR. Deeper delving into this
event will be disclosed in the interim.
Then this Sunday, Dr. Edwin Fran-
ko Goldman, director of the Gold-
man Band of New York City, will con-
duct the University Band in a spe-
cial half-hour broadcast from Hill
Auditorium over WJR at 12 noon.
This event will help highlight the
annual midwinter concert season in
full swing this coming Saturday and
Sunday.

THOSE LAST FEW FEET-Two narrow escapes fro n death had this and other survivors of the Dutch

SIGN OF A SYMPHONY-Too engrossed to notice the cameraman, Alexander Thiede (above), is founder
and condui:tor of the women's symphony society of Brston--titles of importance since he's the only man
identified with the society. Says Mr. Thiede, as he rehearses group for winter concerts, "Women are as
good players as men but they simply won't take ord rs from another woman." The latter refers to
woman-conductors. Mr. Thiede once was first violi i with both the Detroit and the Philadelphia Sym-
phonies.
