TWO THE MICHIGAN D AILY SUNDAY, MAY 25, 1941 bass Turnout Of Electorate To Be Sought Committee Will Stimulate Voters In Fight To Aid School Superintendent Initiation of a campaign to stimu- late Ann Arbor's "inert school elec- torate" into a mass turnout at the polls next September when the Board of Education members will be elect- ed, is the general plan of action de- cided upon by the Citizens' Com- mittee which was formed to help School Superintendent Otto W. Hais- ley, member Neil Staebler said yes- terday. The Committee, composed of 12 representative Ann Arbor citizens, has charged that the Board of Educa- tion's action dismissi g Haisley, sup- erintendent of schoos for 17 years, by a five-to-four vote was done with- out presenting "reasonable grounds." Meanwhile, the Warner amendment to the Tenure Act, said to strengthen Haisley's position, was signed yester- day by Gov. Murray D. Van Wagoner. This amendment by implication means that Haisley comes under the terms of the original Tenure law, and therefore has the right to appeal to the State Tenure Commission for a hearing. Haisley took this step last week up- on insistence of friends and the Citi- zens' Committee. Police Conduct Test Of Radios TwoWay System Spans More Than 40 Miles EAST LANSING, May 24.-(P)- Commissioner Oscar G. Olander dis- losed today that field tests on a proposed state police two-way radio system have spanned more than 40 miles "consistently." Patrol cars equipped with frequen- cy modulation units have been "read" by the East Lansing station from such widely scattered points as Battle reek, Ann Arbor, Lapeer, and St. Louis, the commissioner said "The tests will be slow in devel- oping," Olander said, "because we have to ascertain by experiment what we do know theoretically, namely, that frequency modulation offers re- markable aid to police work." He said the new type of transmis- aion which is featured by almost com- plete elimination of static is espec- ially suitable for communication un- der unfavorable weather conditions "During recent electrical storms,' he said, "it was almost impossible tc hear regular station broadcasts at a five-mile distance, while return dis- patches from a frequency modulation unit in a patrol car came in clea Alcoholic lawyer..- G, Ii f hIRAM SHERMAN< Ruth Matteson Will Highlight 'Skylark' Cast' (Continued from Page 1) wedded to his business. Sherman has the role of a charming, yet sardonic and slightly alcoholic, lawyer.

Are Awarded By U' Alumni 100 High School Seniors Receive Tutition Grantsi For Next School Year One hundred high school seniorsj in every part of Michigan were i notified yesterday that they had been awarded Alumni Undegraduate Scholarships to the University for the next school year.} Covering two semesters' fees in any of the undergraduate schools, the awards are based upon scholarship, character and financial need of the student. Students in the Ann Arbor district who received the scholarships this year are Homer Diebler and John Kennedy of Ypsilanti, Helen Miller of Chelsea and Frank Tobey of Ann Arbor. Most of the recipients are recom- mended by local University of Michi- gan Clubs andaalumnae groups, al- though a few are selected upon the recommendation of individual alum- ni in cdmmunities too small to have a formal organization. Students are eligible for renewal of the scholarships in their succes- sive years at the University if they maintain satisfactory grades. At the present time there are 269 previous scholarship winners enrolled in the University. In the 11 years that the awards have been made more than 700 have benefited. Because of the increasing interest in Pan-Americanism in the United States, La Sociedad Hispanica has just completed a successful year and extended its membership of the Span- ish department considerably, Prof. E. A. Mercado stated recently. In reviewing the program for the past year Professor Mercado, who is faculty advisor for the club, said that besides the lectures, movies and various other undertakings accom- plished, a new and important policy was innovated in the offering of two scholarships to the 1941 Summer Interest In Pan-Americanism Proves Aid To Spanish Society to enable its participants to better their knowledge of Spanish construc- tion, explained Professor Mercado,, as well as to perfect their speaking abil- ity of the language. All members are given an opportunity to converse in Spaniish with natives of that tongue. Retiring officers of La Sociedad are president Norma C. Bennett, '41; vice-president Doreen Voiles, '42; secretaries Margery Green, '43, and Carmelita Rosasco, '42, and treasur- ers Helen Lapitzky, '41, and Ray- mond Chambers, '41. i School at the University of Mexico. Trend Indicated He pointed out that the Mexican school is making a special exception in granting free tuition to winners of the scholarships and that it may be indicative of a new general trend in the Mexican attitude toward the United States. Formerly, scholar- ships to the University did not in-. clude free tuition in its Summer School. Also the Spanish Club is contributing fifty dollars to each award, the winners of which this year are June Larson, '41, and John Falconieri, '42. Battle Of Crete Is Evaluat eda ,r c f 1 f ii i ii i f i 3 { {f Teachers Plan Special English Session Here Conference Will Consider Instruction Of Language In Technical Schools Because of the increasing numbers of students entering engineering fields, and because teachers of Eng- lish as well as administrative officials feel that the teaching of English in technical schools involves special pro- blems, teachers of English in engineer- ing colleges will hold a special session here from June 30 to July 21. Held in connection with a meeting of the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education to be held here earlier in the summer, the conference will be divided into three separate parts, Prof. J. E. Thornton, of the English department, engineering col- lege, announced. Opening the three-week course to be held in conjunction with the Uni- versity summer session will be a series of meetings to consider the problems of teaching English literature in en- gineering schools. The second week of the conference will consider the problems of teach- ing composition, taking up the train- ing necessary for teaching. Completing the program for the conferenge will be a week of meetings dealing with speech, the problems of subject matter, delivery and speech composition all being taken up. A special demonstration of the devices used to teach speech by the Depart- ment of Speech will be featured at the meeting. A ward Marks Flying Club's Excellence Trials and tribulations have plagued the Flying Club since its founding, but its diligent efforts were repaid when it was awarded the Loening Trophy recently for its excellent "competitive record, safety factors and activity." The story of the Club reads almost like an Horatio Alger story. It be- gan as an offshoot of theGlider Club. After obtaining University permis- sion, the Flying Club, in order to buy a plane, sorely needed because of crowded airport conditions, had to obtain a bank loan. The plane purchased is a Taylor- craft, pewered by a 65 horsepower motor. It has been kept in top me- chanical shape with one major over- haul already made. No longer hampered by the heavy demand on the airports in this vicin- ity, many members have been able to retain their private licenses at less than 50 per cent of the original cost, and others to accumulate hours for their commercial licenses. The Club has been able to take part in local and regional competitive meets, the climax coming with the winning of the regional flying meet during the vacation period. Membership in the Club has in- creased from 15 to 35 since school started in September, and its pro- gram has expanded to include so- cial meetings and talks by experts in the aviation field. CAA accident. reports have been made available without cost to all members. 'I ;; 1 t Another successful event of the Club was their annual play. This year's presentation was a comedy by. the Quintero Brothers, "La Puebla de las Mujieres." A Mexican movie, "Alla Ep el Rancho Grande," was also included in the program, as well as a series of six lectures by promi- nent Spanish teachers from Michi- gan and other schools. Art Is Shown One of the highlights of the activi- ties was a brief excursion to the To- ledQ Art Museum to view the works of some of the most eminent Spanish artists. Among the miscellaneous items of the program were the pre- sentation of Latin-American songs and dances, and interesting informa- tion concerning our southern neigh- bors. The entire program of the club, and especially the play, is designed Student Groups To Hold Final Religious Event Special programs will be offered by student religious organizations as their concluding meetings of the year today.

SIMPSON The Battle of Crete may not be ak significant dress rehearsal for Nazi invasion of England, but it is a crucial and still inconclusive test oft sea versus air power. It will go down that way in :nili- tary history, whatever the outcome. From its weird and confused pat-i tern; also, both German and :Brit- ish leadership are certain to derive ,new experience to test their plans for, invasion or defense of England. Many factors are lacking at Crete that must be reckoned with in the case of England. One is the narrow-r ness of the 20-odd mile Dover Straits1 as compared with a 60-mile sea span between Crete and the Greek main-1 land. Probable hasty Nazi separation for the Crete invasion to catch Brit- ish-Greek defenders more or less by surprise is another. An attempt to invade England would be founded on many months of Nazi planning and experimentation. It also would have available from Germany or from German-occupied territories vastly greater facilities for effecting the shorter sea passage than the Nazis could find for the Crete in- vasion adventure. England could throw into the bat- tle, however, air strength that was lacking at Crete. As this is written the British fleet seems to have foiled Nazi attempt at sea invasion of Crete. British nav- al officers said 5,000 German troops died when British naval units shelled and ground under their keels a Nazi convoy. Bunting To Attend Nutrition Meeting Prof. Russell W. Bunting, Dean of the School of Dentistry, will attend the National Nutrition Conference to be held May 26-27 in Washington, D.C.
