WAGE TWO THE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY JUNE 4, 1941 University Lecture Series Brings Noted Men Students May Combine Cru To Campus v I .E _ _ Distinguished Scholars Have Delivered Talks Politieianis, Poets, Explorers Are But Few Of Many Brought To Ann Arbor By BILL BAKER{ Politicians, poets, explorers and an anthropologist who is an authority' on primitive jitterbugs-these are but a few of the famous-and unusual-- persons who have delivered University lectures on the campus during the last 30 years. Since 1911-12 the University budget has carried an account "for the purpose of securing lectures by distinguished scholars." From this account are taken the funds that provide the University Lectures. Any department of instruction in the University is entitled to make use of this fund, and the lectures are understood to be a part of the educa- tional program of that department. .. There have been a wide range of subjects in the past 20 years, during which the University Lectures have - T ext Library Lends Books To Aid Needy While the Textbook Lending Li- brary, founded May, 1937, has only a short record it is one of extremely valuable service. It is the means of supplying a very important necessity to those students who are unable to provide their own books. Academic counselors, men- tors and deans recommend those of their students in need of this aid to the Textbook Library committee which consists of Assistant Dean E. A. Walter of the College of Litera- ture, Science and the Arts, chair- man; Mr. S. W. McAllister, Associate Librarian; Prof. A. D. Moore, of the College of Engineering; Claude Eg- gertsen of the School of Education, and Prof. D. C. Long of the history department. The project began with the rais- ing of $2,050 in gifts from alumni. Since then books have been acquired for the library from the income from this fund, from unclaimed articles in the Lost and Found Department and from student contributions. In this way about 800 books and seven slide rules have been accumu- lated. There is still great need for increase, however, because nearly, a hundred students' requests were un- filled last semester. Recently a number of requests have been re- ceived for microscopes, of which the library has none': Any students who can contribute to this service of the University are asked to leave their books at the Angell Hall study hal, the General Library or any branch library. Citizens Move To Aid Haisley Committee Hopes To Get 5, 000 Schoo El ectors A concerted drive to secure 5,000 registered school electors moved into high gear yesterday, under the spon- sorship of the Citizens' Committee, which was formed to protest the ouster of Ann Arbor Superintendent of Schools Otto W. Haisley. Nearly 65 men and women attended a meeting of the Committee at which methods of registration were discussed and explained. It was pointed out that only 588 votes were cast in the School Board election last year, indicating, Committee members said, that the Board's dismissal of Haisley was not in accordance with the public will. Members cautioned that citizens are eligible for removal from the rolls af- ter failing to vote in two succeeding school elections. Registration, it was explained, can be made daily in the business office of the Ann Arbor High School.

By DAN BEHRMAN American students will have an opportunity to combine summer courses at South American universi- ties with a vacation cruise, accord- ing to the itinerary planned by the Grace Line. This trip is of special interest to Michigan students, since the University, has enrolled citizens of Venezuela and Ecuador in its own summer session. The 67 day trip embracing a 30 day course at the University of San Mar- cos in Peru, is typical of these cruises. Leaving New York June 20 this group will arrive at Lima July 2. The program here includes a month's study at San Marcos in addition to a two weeks t'rip to Cuzco, ancient capital of the Incas and one of the high spots of New World archaeology. Favorable Study Conditions The University of San Marcos was founded by the Dominican Order in 1550. Continuing as an educational institution since that date, it offers Michigan students a chance to study Spanish under extremely favorable' conditions. For students with a limited amount of available time, the Grace Line offers a Lima trip which lasts only 53 days. The steamer leaves New York on July 4 and returns to the United States on Aug. 25. Special Tourist Cruise A special tourist cruise has also been scheduled by the dine. Chile, Argentina, Bolivia and Peru are in- cluded in this summer-long excur- sion, which offers Andes skiing dur- ing the middle of July. Steamer, UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING SH EDU[ILE OF EX AMINA TION, S railroad, plane, and mule train will be used by this group which sails from New York on June 20. Students planning to take summer courses at the University of San Marcos should be prepared to offer evidences of their citizenship, since their passports must be visaed by the Peruvian Consul.

"Naval aviation offers anybody with a college education and the the other necessary qualifications an op- ec- portunity to make a career of avia- tor, tion, which undoubtedly will be the per transportation of the future," Ensign Jardin stated. cal Advantages Of Program ign In his talk, Jardin explained to a rld group of prospective aviators the ad- L. vantages of the Navy training pro- ip- gram. Only two years of college are of needed to qualify a student for Naval his aviation, he emphasized, as opposed ud- tb the college diploma needed for a commission in any other branch of to ,the service. end Ensign Jardin himself is a gradu- m- ate of Pensacola. An alumnus of ity Marquette University, he did not de- the cide to go into aviation until after ut- two years of "teaching school." He ar. qualified for the Navy's training pro- is- gram at Grosse Ile, Michigan, went ber on to Pensacola, and finished his ia- course of training at Miami. "My ultimate goal is commercial aviation," he continued.

When asked about the differences between the Army and the Navy flight training programs, he replied that the two types of flying--Army and Navy-were entirely different. He didn't commit himself on which was better, however, except to say that the 'Navy training program, be- cause of the nature of Navy flying, included more instruction in naviga- tion and radio work than the Army course. Flint Agencies Receive Gifts' Alumnus Presents Stock To City Organizations Sixteen Flint community, agencies; and organizations benefited from the birthday present given them by the University's oldest living varsity ath- lete, Arthur G. Bishop, '73, on his 90th anniversary April 12. Transactions have now been com- pleted in the transfer of 2,000 shares of General Motors stock, with an aggregate value of more than $70,000, to these groups. Unique among the beneficiaries was the University of Michigan Club of Flint, given 50 shares. In offering the stock, divided into blocks of from 50 to 150 shares each, Bishop made only one stipulation: that they niot be used to cover operat- ing cost. He intends them to be channeled for projncts temporarily out of reach because of maintenance demands. Bishop is a director of the General Motors Corporation and is chairman of the board of directors of the Gene- see County Savings Bank. While at the University he was awarded a baseball letter, and at present he serves in the honorary capacity of life president of the local "M" club. Although he was stricken withg pneumonia in March and as a con- sequence was unable to attend a civic testimonial planned for him by the Chamber of Commerce, Bishop is now reported recovering. - er ectia orti a dern oln NOTE: For courses having both lectures and quizzes, the Time of Exercise is the time of the first lecture period of the week; for courses having quizzes only, the Time of Exercise is the time of the first quiz peiiod.
