State Educators
Will Interview
675 Freshmen
Luncheon, Program Also
Planned For Principals,
Teachers At Meeting
Over 150 principals and teachers,,
representatives of 95 high schools in
four states, will assemble for the
14th annual Principal-Freshman
Conference Nov. 14 in the Rackham
Building and the League.
Approximately 675 University
freshmen will be interviewed by their
former high school principals
throughout the entire morning of
Nov. 14, on the second floor of the
Rackham Building. Following this,
a. luncheon will be held at the League
ballroom for the secondary school
representatives and members of the
University faculty who have come
into contact with the freshmen this
semester.
Twelve representatives from other
colleges in Michigan have been in-
vited to attend the conference. Seven
deans from junior colleges in Mich-
igan have also been invited to attend,
if they wish to interview the transfer
students from those schools.
The purpose of the Principal-
Freshman Conference is three-fold:
1) to benefit the students of the
University who may be having diffi-
culties with their academic work;
2) to benefit the secondary schools
so that they may better prepare stu-
dents who will later enroll at the
University; and 3) to aid the Uni-
versity itself in discovering how bet-
ter to orient incoming students.
After the luncheon there will be
a program at the League, in which
the high school teachers, members
of the University faculty( and Uni-
versity students will participate. The
program will be in the form of a
panel discussion entitled, "Pre-Col-
lege Guidance."
Men's Glee Club
To Rehearse Today
The Varsity Men's Glee Club will
continue rehearsing the "Ballad For
Americans" at 7 p.m. today at the
club's rooms at the Union.
Prof. David Mattern, of the School
of Music, will conduct the group, and
Jack Osserwaarde, Grad., will act as
accompanist.
Plans for the reception to be ten-
dered the Don Cossack Chorus on
Nov. 18 will also be discussed at the
rehearsal. The Chorus is to be feat-
ured in the Choral Union concert on
that evening, and later will appear
at the Glee Club's entertainment in
the Union. A spacial program for the
famous Russian singers is being
arranged.

Glenn "Gunner" Slade, a marks-
man with no small reputation, was
the first Hinsdale House member to
Je drafted. Slade's fame is wide-
pread-he holds the National De-
_, r Course Intercollegiate Record as
vell as six other collegiate target-
ihccting records. He is a member of
:he Illinois Civilian Rifle Team
w;hich placed Class A in the National
ifle Matches this summer. Slade's
iraft number is 34.
And speaking of the draft-four
dorm newspapers were drafted in-
to print Monday, two of them
brand new. The West Quad's
Spectator made its initial appear-,
ance Monday-you'll hear more
about the Spectator in the near
future.
The first issue of the STOCKwell
"ICKER saw print Monday, too, un-
der the editorship of Helen Green-
4one, '44-the managing end being
aken care of Florence Light, '44 . .
Jordan's Information Please came
iut today too, in case you're inter-
.sted.

But there are even more young
journalists in the University resi-
dance halls, Carroll Karkalits. '44,
won first prize in East Quad's mam-
moth newspaper-naming contest,
with the label, The East Wind,
which now becomes the official
handle of the weekly from that
dorm on East U. It's a lot better
than ? ? ? ?, last week's name,
don't you think?
Whoever initiated the exchange
dinner idea certainly had a brain-
stoin--292 assorted people partici-
pated in two held Tuesday - one
between Mosher and Victor Vaughan,
the med doim, and the other between
Sto(kweli and Prescott and Hinsdale.
At Martha Cook, Deans Alice Lloyd
and Jeanette Perry will be guests
of honor at a formal dinner tonight,
Dorothy Lindquist, '42, chairman,
announced.

Residents of Paris have become accustomed to many new things since occupation of the city by con-
quering German troops. Among them is standing in line for food rations. Here a group of Parisian house-
wives wait patiently in front of a "butter-eggs-cheeses" store for their allotments.

Hopwood Play
To Show Here
One of the co-authors of "The
Bat," to be presented by Play Pro-
duction, Wednesday, Nov. 13, through
Saturday, Nov. 16, was Avery Hop-
wood, founder of the fund that pro-
vides annual awards to student
writers.;
Hopwood, who collaborated with
Mary Roberts Rinehart in writing
the mystery, probably provided the
theatrical effects added when Miss
Rinehart's novel "The Circular Stair-
case" was adapted to the stage, ac-
cording to Prof. William P. Hal-
stead, who will direct the local pro-
duction. The climaxes are essen-
tially theatrical and the effect of
the play is visual, Professor Hal-
stead added, and these needed the
work of a master theatrical techni-
cian like Avery Hopwood.
"The Bat" uses the story of the
novel for its basic plot, Professor

'Link Trainer'
Course Open
For Enrolling
Students planning to enroll for
flight training in the Civil Aeronau-
tics Authority courses next semester
are asked to report to the Aeronau-
tical Engineering office sometime
this week to make arrangements for
work on the "link trainer."
A machine looking very much like
a small airplane on a pedestal, the
"Link Trainer" has been found help-
ful for beginning students and the
attempt is being made now to deter-
mine how effective it is in actual
contact flying.
Ten hours of work on this machine
will be given to all students who will
be in the CAA next February who
pass their medical examinations, ap-
proximately one hour of which will
be required each week.
The work to discover exactly how
effective the link trainer is was re-
quested last week by the National
Research Council, according to Prof..
E. W. Conlon of the aeronautical de-
partment.
As the facilities of the Department
are great, a large number of stu-
dents are invited to take the CAA
Link Trainer course, Professor Ed-'
ward B. Greene, who is utilizing the
Trainer in a psychological study, an-
nounced.
