By GEORGE W. SALLADE
University students are better in-
formed than the average citizen in
the United States and show an in-
creasing trend towards intervention
in the European War according to the
records compiled by the Bureau ofj
Student Opinion after two years of
intensive polling on the campus.
In a series of polls conducted ev-
ery six months since the war began
in September, 1939, the campus has
shown a marked trend toward in-
tervention in proportion to the in-
creasing victories of Adolf Hitler's
armies. In March of this year, how-
ever, 65 per cent still were against en-
tering the war even if Germany was
defeating England.
In May of 1940 when the blitzkrieg
was at its height 80 per cent were
against entering the war. (Neverthe-
less, 64 per cent felt in March of this
year that the United States would
be in the war within a year as com-
pared with only 36 per cent in Oc-
tober, 1940.
Campus Well Informed
In all the polls on current affairs
up to the present time a smaller per-
centage of indifferent answers were
obtained than in Gallup polls of a
similar nature. This indicates a better
informed public opinion on the cam-
pus as compared to the average com-
munity in the country.
In special surveys on the lease-lend
bill 46 per cent of the people inter-
viewed favored passage of the mea-
sure. In the same interviews students
were asked if they favored the Hoov-
er proposal for sending food to the
five small democracies. 50 per cent
were for and 34 per cent against this
plan.
In the November poll on the presi-

CLASSIFIED ADVEHTISIMG

dential election Willkie received 48
per cent and Roosevelt 38 per cent.
Of those preferring Willkie 32 per cent
thought the United States would be
involved in war withi na year and 51
per cent were uncertain. Of the Roose-
velt supporters 35 per cent felt war
would come to the United States with-
in a year while 54 per cent were firmly
convinced that war would be avoided.
Bureau Going Since '37
The Bureau of Student Opinion has
been in operation since 1937. It was
begun by James Vicary, '40 and is
now under the direction of Frank A.
Bender, '43. The first txyo years were
devoted mainly to experimental work
on religious questions.
The same technique as that of the
Gallup Poll is used. A representative
group of 5 per cent of the total cam-
pus enrollment is selected for ques-
tioning. This group is broken down
into the right proportion for each
college and school and the right pro-
portion of men and women in that
school.
The selected group is then further
subdivided into the correct proportion
of classes and religious sects. Fre-
quent tests are made to determine
if the stdents are representative or
not.
One of these tests is based on the
ROTC. The selected, group is asked
how many are military science- stu-
dents and if the proportion is the
same as the all-campus proportion
the group is representative. The last
test was correct within .6 per cent.
Gold Life Pius
Still Available
500 Yet To Be Claimed
By Seniors At Union
Any man student completing at
least four years of accredited aca-
demic work this June is entitled to
a Michigan Union gold life member-
ship pin. More than 500 of the pins
have yet to be claimed according to
Jack Grady, '42, secretary of the
Union.
Life membership entitles Michigan
men to all the privileges of the Union
at any time after leaving the campus.
This includes use of the pool, bil-
liard room, bowling alleys, Pendleton
Library, and in the regular week-end
dances. Life members are also per-
mitted to cash checks at the Union
whenever desired.
The pins may be obtained by calling
at the Michigan Union Business Of-
fice on the basement floor any week-
day between 3 and 5 p.m.
Graduating seniors who attempt to
claim pins after a year from this June
will be forced to pay $50 for the life
membership. Since the installation of
the plan in 1926, more than 13,000
pins have been distributed to former
Michigan men.
Garg's June Edition
To AppearTuesday
Life with all its complications and
vagaries will be the subject of the
June issue of Gargoyle making its
appearance on newsstands next Tues-
day.
Dave Donaldson, '41, editor, has
promised a special, full page close-
up of Alexander G. Ruthven, intro-
ducing an illustrated expose of the
president's intimate past and present
life.
This will, however, comprise only
a fraction of the estimated 150 photo-
graphs assembled into this issue of
the magazine. The rest will be devot-
ed, among other things, to a sculpture
exhibit, R.O.T.C. drills and campus
peace rallies.

Alumni ClubsJ
Plan To Honor
Prep Students
Fifty High School Juniors
To Be Campus Guests
For First Award Day<
University of Michigan Clubs from
more than 15 cities will sponsor their
first Michigan Junior Award Day
at the University tomorrow.
At this time, the University will+
play host to more than 50 high school
juniors, selected by the alumni or-
ganizations in their respective citiesI
to receive the special two-day visit
to Ann Arbor.
Through interviews with secondary+
school principals and junior class ad--
visers, the winning students were cho-
sen, and alumni made arrangements
for their transportation and ex-
penses.
Arriving in Ann Arbor Friday af-
ternoon, the students will be pro-
vided rooms and guidance by the
Union facilities at special rates or to
otherwise amuse themselves.
Saturday's program will consist of
conducted tours of the campus, inter-
views with professors and administra-
tive officers, a luncheon and at-
tendance at the Michigan-Indiana
baseball game. Evening entertain-
ment will, as before, center about the
Union.-
Alumni Association, in promoting
this innovation, has set forth a double
purpose. University of Michigan Clubs
will be able to become better ac-
quainted with the high school juniors
in their vicinities, and the students
who are given an opportunity to see
the University can plan the rest of
their high school program with some-
thing more definite in view and help
their classmates do the same.
Kiopsic Made

sity Glee Club held last night at

are president, Cary Landis, '42; vice-
president, James Crowe, '43; secre-
tary, Kenneth Repola, '43, and treas-

Benton Bailey

Detroit AIEE
Speaking on "The Development of
Electrical Engineering in Michigan,"
Prof. Benton F. Bailey of the electri-
cal engineering department will give
a talk at Past Chairmen's Night of
the American Institute of Electrical
Engineers Tuesday, May 20, in De-
troit.
As he practically grew up with the
electrical engineering industry, Pro-
fessor Bailey is well qualified to lec-
ture on this topic, having been en-
gineer for the Detroit Edison Com-
pany at the turn of the century,
(when Henry Ford was chief engin-
eer) and later chief engineer. of the
Fairbanks Morse Company, pioneers
in the development of alternating
current motors.
Several Michigan men figured
prominently in the development of
electrical engineering, according to
Professor Bailey, among them Profes-
sor Langley who taught at the Uni-
versity; Charles Brush, a Michigan
graduate; a forgotten genius by the
name of VanDepoole who lived in
Detroit for a time, and of course,
Thomas A. Edison, at one time a
Michigan resident.

Notices
Smoking In University Buildings:
Attention is called to the general rule
that smoking is prohibited in Univer-
sity buildings except in private offices
and assigned smoking ,rooms where
precautions can be taken and control
exercised. This is neither a mere arbi-
trary regulation nor an attempt to
meddle with anyone's personal habits.
It is established ano enforced solely
with the purpose of preventing fires.
In a recent five year period, 15 of the
total of 50 fires reported, or 30 per
cent, were caused by cigarettes or
lighted matches.Tobbe effective, the
rule must necessarily apply to bring-
ing lighted tobacco into or through
University buildings and to the light-
ing of cigars, cigarettes,, and pipes
within buildings-including lighting
just previous to going outdoors. With-
in the last few years a serious fire was
started at the exit from the Pharma-
cology building by the throwing of a
still lighted match into refuse wait-
ing removal at the doorway. If the
rule is to be enforced at all its en-
forcement must begin at the building
entrance. Further, it is impossible
that the rule should be enforced with
one class of persons if another class
of persons disregards it. It is a dis-
agreeable and thankless task to "en-
force" almost any rule. This rule
against the use of tobacco within
buildings is perhaps the most thank-
less and difficult of all, unless it
has the support of everyone con-
cerned. An appeal is made to all
persons using the University build
ings-staff members, students and
others-to contribute individual co-
operation to this effort to protect
University buildings against fires.
This statement is inserted at the
request of the Conference of Deans.
