Interest Lags
In Engineers'
Defense Work
No Classes To Be Offered
Until Numbers Warrant
U.S. Educational Help
Dean Ivan C. Crawford of the Col-
lege of Engineering announced yes-
terday that only 41 persons had ap-
plied for national defense engineer-
ing training and that "sufficient in-
terest has no~t yet been indicated to
warrant the formation of a class."
Plans had been made by the Col-
lege, with the approval of the United
States Department of Education, to
give four short courses to those en-'
gineers who wanted special training
in defense work. Until 20 students]
are registered in a course, however,
the Department of Education will
not allow work to be started.
The courses which were planned
are machine design, materials in-
specting and testing, production en-
gineering and production supervision
and tool engineering. Greatest
amount of interest to date has been
in the production courses.
The' College of Engineering has not
given up its intention of sponsoring
these classes and requests allrinter-
ested individuals who have had at
least three years of engineering work
to apply for training as soon as pos-
sible. Applications should be made
to the Dean's office at the Engineer-
ing School.
According to Dean Crawford, the
difficulty facing the University in
procuring students for these courses
is the fact that it is not located
closely enough to a large industrial
area. "The schools in Detroit have
proven to be more successful," he
said, "since the students there may
attend classes without sacrificing
their present positions."
W4eygand To Talk
On Naval Vessels
The fifth in a series of lecturess
on the navy, its history and organ-
ization will be presented by Capt.
E. B. Weygand, commandant of the
Reserve Midshipman's School of
Chicago, at 4 p.m. today in Room 348
of the West Engineering Building.
Entitled "The Navy Ship", Captain
Weygand's talk will deal with a de-
scription of the parts of sea-going
warcraft in all of its aspects. The
address, which is part of a series of
nine comprising a special course for
engineers, is the second presented by
Captain Weygand this semester.

Flu Epidemic
Still Imminent,
Forsythe Says
Dr. Warren Forsythe, director of
the University Health Service, yes-
terday discounted reports of an in-
fluenza epidemic in Michigan but
admitted that the possibility of a
serious attack of the ailment has not
yet passed.
The statement issued last Satur-
day by Dr. H. A. Moyer, State Health
Commissioner, to the effect that the
attack of influenza had reached "epi-
demic proportions", Dr. Forsythe
said, was probably in the nature of
a warning against the danger of in-
fection during the winter months.
The number of patients admitted
to the student infirmary in the past
week, he pointed out, has not been
seriously greater than in past years.
He admitted, however, that precau-
tionary measures are being taken to
stop the spread of the infection
which has been discovered. Visiting
privileges have been temporarily
suspended, he, said, and extra beds
have been installed in an old sta-
tistical laboratory in the health ser-
vice building in the event of a sud-
den increase in the number of cases
reported.
"During a season like this," Dr.
Forsythe suggested, "one should ob-
serve more than usual precautions."
Hospital Reports Ten
Students As Patients
The University Hospital yesterday
reported that ten students have been
admitted as patients since the open-
ing of school last Monday.
Paul Hazelton, '44A, entered Mon-
lay and is in contagious being treated
for chicken pox. Ardis Watson,. '41,
Arnold Kambly, '43M, Robert Pois-
son, '43, Sherwood Standish, '44, and
William Slocum, '42, have had ap-
pendectomy operations and are re-
cuperating. Fern Wunluck, '44, is
under care for a respiratory infec-
tion. Francis Collins, '41, is being
treated for an abscessed tooth. John
Stauch, '43, admitted Wednesday, is
under observation, and Alma Hunt,
'42, is in the contagious hospital for
parotitus.
Hainmet To Talk
"Pre-Conquest Art and Architec-
ture in Mexico" will be th subject of
a talk to be givens by Prof. Ralph
W. Hammett of the College of Archi-
tecture and Design at 4:15 tomorrow
in the Architecture Lecture Hall. z
