Dean Henry F. Vaughn reported an expected enrollment of about 100 students for the school begun to meet the great demand for public health administrators and nurses-a de- mand that has become acute because of the new problems created by the defense effort. About a half-million dollars will be spent on the construction of a build- ing to house the new public health school. Meanwhile classes and labor- atory Work will be accommodated in the West'Medical Building, the new Kellogg Dental Institute, Waterman -Gymnasium and East* Hospital. Registered Nurses Enroll Registered nurses are eligible to enter the year and a half course lead- ing to, a certificate in Public Health Nursing or to follow a four year pro- gram for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Public Health Nursing. Graduate degrees are available pri- marily for those planning to enter the field professionally. Graduation from a medical, dental, engineering or nursing school is required but may be waived in very exceptional cases for persons with unusual experience in the public health field.' Practical experience as well as ac- ademic work is necessary to earn the degree of Master of Public Health with 48 required credit hours includ- ing 12 credit hours of field work. Thirteen types of training curric- ala including the study of public health administration, nursing, engi- neering, laboratory and epidemiology lead to the masters degree. Other Courses Offered Other' courses involve. industrial health studies in cooperation with large industries in ,Detroit, public health statistics, school health pro- grams, public health education, den- tistry, venereal disease control, pub- lic health nutrition, and health coun- cils and voluntary health agencies., Special studies will be made of the virus diseases such as infantile par- alysis, and influenza-like infections as well as the study of tropical dis- eases. Temporarily the old East Hos- pital will be at the disposal of these departments. The new public health school building will be U shaped yrjith the three-story front of the structure de- voted to class rooms and adminis- trative offices, an auditorium, a li- brary and a museum. ROTC Cadets To Be Trained In Active Duty Officers To Be Readied a For Immediate Summons As Small Unit Leaders Officers prepared for immediate active duty as leaders of. small units rather than reserve officers who will continue training in limited periods of summer training will be the aim of the Reserve Officers Training Corps this year. The University maintains five un- its, offering training in Infantry, Signal Corps, Engineers, Ordnance and Medical Corps. All except Medi- cal Corps include one hour of drill per week which exempts freshmen from the requirement in physical ed- ucation. Lieut. Col. Francis M. Brannan, Professor of Military Science and Tactics, will command the corps, re- placing Lieut. Col. Basil D. Edwards who has been transferred to the As- sistant Secretary of War's office. One new officer, Lieut. Col. G. B. Egger, Infantry, has joined the staff this year. Col Egger has attended the Infantry School and the Battalion Commanders and Staff Officers School at Ft. Benning and the Com- mand and General Staff School at Ft. Leavenworth. He has served as executive officer of the 7th Infantry and as battalion commander in the 10th Infantry. The regiment of cadets will remain at the same size with 1100 basic and 215 advanced students enrolled. In addition to the regular work in military science the corps will again sponsor the rifle team which fires in intercollegiate competition and the drum and bugle corps which furnishes music for the parades and ceremonies of the regiment.

Included in the Concert Band's appearances this year will be the ever-popular Varsity Night performr ance, at which an outstanding guest artist will be presented, a series of WJR broadcasts, a spring tour (be- ing organized), spring out-of-town concerts, a reading clinic for the Michigan School Band Association and numerous other appearances. - Regimental Band Regimental band members will find themselves equally busy playing for basketball games as well as other athletic events such as wrestling and track. Last year an out-of-town con- cert was given by the band, meeting with great success. In addition to the part the bands play in campus activities, they fill a 'very definite place in the promo- tion of good band music, not only to Mfen 'sCouncil WAConstitutiou.

Slocum said yesterday. A seven-man board composed of seniors representing varied camlus interests, the Judiciary Council was formed four years ago as the out- growth of the Men's Council, which had become a mere advisory board. Besides Slocum, the six members are Robert ,Getts, secretary, Gordon Andrew, Richard Scherling, Carl Rohrbach, Robert Samuels and Ray Powell. All student elections save those in the engineering school come under the jurisdiction of the Council. This includes elections to class dance com-, mittees, senior election, Union vice- presidencies, boards in control of ath- letics and putlications and Congress. The Council has authority to reg-! ulate initiations and conduct of all campus honor societies and can pass recommendations on other organ- izations for the Board of Student Affairs. Their disciplinary power is actual- ly a recommendation of action to Dean of Students Joseph Bursley. Special committees already ap- pointed this year include constitu- tional revision with Andrews as chair- man; Scherling in charge of dance committee elections and Rohrach in charge of continuance and revival of campus traditions such as fresh- man pots, class games and the al- ready defunct Black Friday. The members are chosen by the retiring leaders of the Daily, Union, Congress, Interfraternity Council, Judiciary Council and Dean Bursley. Engine School Has. Placement Service Although nationaldefense activity makes it almost unnecessary, the Col- lege of Engineering will again main- tain its placement system to aid its graduates in finding work upon grad- uation. Duringahis senior year each student fills out a personnel record, which is then used by some member of his de- partment to help him find a suitable position. Even then the work doesn't stop, as the system also provides for a search for better positions for men already placed in industry. PROF. REVELLI the University and Ann Arbor, but to the entire state and surrounding territory. Assisting Professor Revelli in main- taining the high quality of Michigan Bands are Herbert G. Watkins, as- sistant secretary of the niversity, faculty business manager; Stuart Park, '42; student manager; Lt. John A. Lohla of the military science de- partment, formations officer, and a large staff of equipment managers, librarians, assistant conductors and formation advisers. Library Gives Aid To Needy U' Students Textbooks Will Be Loaned To All Recommended By Deans, Advisors "Textbook blues" for the student who is unable to get money to pur- chase his own books will be non- existent this semester due to the ex- panding services of the Textbook Lending Library, which will be es- tablished in the Angell Hall Study Hall under the auspices of the Uni- versity Library. Only qualification of the needy stu- dent is that he be recommended by one of the Deans or by an Academic Counselor of hisCollege. All classes in all colleges on campus may take advantage of the service. No Deposit Required Books will be issued to the stu- dents as applied for, no deposit be- ing necessary. The privilege of re- newing the loan for another semester will depend on the care given books used in previous semesters. Established in May, 1937, the li- brary is the result of a student idea, first instigated by student gifts of old textbooks. In the first donation a large number of obsolete books were turned in, but these were sold to co- operating bookstores and the pro- ceeds turned to current needs. Since then the facilities of the li- brary have been expended through further book donations as well as a number of cash donations from re- sponsive alumni. At the present time the library also boasts an endowment established by Michigan alumni. Recommendation Necessary It is urged that appications for text loans be turned in early, as stu- dents requesting books which are not now available will have to wait until these books can be purchased with the funds now on hand. Freshmen and sophomores in the 2ver heard before. "Unless we have an unusual num- ber of new men," he lamented, "the band this year will be smaller than in the past. I should like to see all men on campus who can play an in- 'trument, regardless of their ability ,r experience, report for an audition this week."

All invited. .:xception of the Michigan State op- 'ner, will make two trips during the gar, one to Eevanston for the North- lestern game, and probably a second ithe Columbia game in New York i 2ty. Nor does the band's season end with the end of the football season. At that time the band is broken up into the Regimental Band and the Concert Band, both of which then have an active season playing at con- certs, athletic events and on out-of- town tours. Uniforms Furnished "The question of a uniform need not worry the prospective band man," Professor Revelli pointed out. "The University furnishes a complete uni- form to each band member, at no cost to that member." In addition to being considered one of the finest playing bands in the country, the Marching Band also pre- sents the outstanding formations at each game which have made it de- serving of the "All-American" rating given it by the Associated Press for the past few years. Lieutenant Conducts Drill Responsible for the band's drill this year will be Lt. John A. Lohla of the 'military science department, who takes over the duties of Col. Tobert N. Kunz, who was transferred last year. Prospective freshmen band mem- bers are reminded that the Marching Band is the one activity in which they may participate during their first semester on campus, the only condi- tion being that they elect band for credit, or enroll for the basic course in military science. College of Literature, Science and the Arts should be recommended by an Academic Counselor, 108 Mason Hall, and juniors and seniors in that col-'° lege by Assistant Dean E. A. Walter, 1220 Angell Hal. Students in the School of Educa- tion should see Prof. Claude Eggert- sen, 4024 University High School; engineering students should apply to Prof. A. D. Moore, 268 West Engi- neering Building, and graduate stu- dents should make application to Dean Walter 1220 Angell Hall. Further information on the text lending plan may be obtained at the Angell Hall Study Hall during the week of September 29 to October 4, hours 10-12 a.m. Monday through Saturday; 2-4 p.m. Monday through Wednesday, and 3-5 p.m. Thursday and Friday. Crea tes New Choral Group A new course for credit in choral clinging, open to students from all colleges of the University, will be of- feted this year by the School of Music. Known as the University Choir, the organization will be under the direc- tion of Prof. Hardin A. Van Deursen of the music school. The Choir will be a separate group from the Choral Union, and will coordinate with the University Bands and the University Symphony Orchestra. This year. only music students may receive credit for participation in the choir, Dr. Earl V. Moore, director of the School of Music, said, but it is very likely that the organization will be placed on the list of credit courses in other campus units in the future. Rehearsals will be held at 11 a.m. daily, Monday throug Friday, at Lane Hall throughout the year, Dr. Moore announced. The type of music to be sung by the University Choir will differ from that used by the Men's Glee Club, the Women's Glee Club or the Choral Union, in that a capell music will be stressed throughout. Unaccom- panied music of all periods will be studied, Professor Van Deursen de- Speech Clinic Opens Service ee To All Enrnts Human Adjustment Unit Emphasizes Instruction In Defect Correction Part of the speech science division of the speech department, the Uni- versity Speech Clinic was set up in 1936 as the first unit in the Insti- tute of Human Adjustment. At present, the clinic sees approxi- mately six-thousand individuals each year, including three thousand odd freshmen and transfers during regis- tration week. Directed by Dr. H. Harlan Bloomer, the clinic has a three-fold purpose of teacher-training, research and speech science. However the train- ing phase has become most import- ant, with only thirteen workers on its staff. Speech classes held in the clinic's Huron Street building have full use of case histories and labora- tory equipment. Freshman examination is one of the clinic's most valuable services to the University. Last year's survey of the entering class showed eighty-six students with poor hearing and 176 with speech defects. Any freshman requiring aid is given another more, thorough series of tests and then in- dividual treatments. Although accents cannot be truly classed as speech defects, the clinic has worked with the International Center in aiding foreign students. Staff linguists have been of great as- sistance in orienting men and women from both hemispheres. The clinic performs its actual cor- rective work with its own equipment and the cooperation of the dental school's Department of Oral Surgery. radio Work, Speech Clinic, And Play Productioni Included in Activities Founded fifty years ago in Ann Arbor by Professor Emeritus Thomas C. Trueblood, the nation's first speech department still offers the best in "word of mouth" to Michigan stu- dents. Besides forensic and oratorical or- ganizations connected with the de-1 partment. radio, broadcasting; play production and a speech clinic arej also conducted through its staff and3 facilities. Students excelling in these activities are feted at the Speech Honors Convocation held annually in April. Although Delta Sigma Rho is open l only to juniors and seniors who have represented the University in a foren-! sic contest, three other organizations are offered to any eligible student taking speech. Alpha Nu sponsors debates and speeches for men stu- dents in the department while Athena and Zeta Phi Eta give women the same opportunity. Under Director Arthur G. Secord, the Men's Varsity Debate Squad schedules forensic contests withuni- versities and colleges throughout the entire country. Last yeahtogether with the Women's Varsity Debate -quad it participated in radio debates with the Kent College of Law in Chi- -ago. Besides following this schedule, the women's squad takes part in the big Ten Women's Discussion tCor%- ference to be held at Purdue Univer- sity in December. In the field of oratory, the Uni- versity offers one of the highest honors in intercollegiate speaking -- representation at the Northern Ora- torical League's annual May contest. Founded by Professor Trueblood, the League is composed of five other Big clared, including motets of such six- teenth century Latin church choral writers as Sweelinck, Hassler, di Las- so, Vittoria and Palestrina, and mad- rigals by Philips, Festa, Farnaby, Gavert and Morley. The grandeur of Russian church music will be found in the composi- tions of Tschaikowsky, Kopylow, Kastalsky, and Pantchenko. Also on the list to be sung are folk-tune and spiritual arrangements by Williams, Warrell, Jackson and Cain, as well as some modern creations of Willan, Thompson, Kodaly, Wood and Mc- Donald. The Choir, which will number 75 voices, will appear at convocations, in public concert, at Sunday vespers and in radio broadcasts, Professor Van Deursen said. Application forms for admission may be obtained at room 223 of the School of Music dur- ing registration. Ten Universities. Ann Arbor's rep- resentation is chosen in January at an elimination contest open to men and women in any University depart- ment. Intra mural debating is dividing into three tournaments, one open to men, one to women, and the othe>1 to students in Speech 31 and 32. En- trants in the Intra-mural debate tournaments may be chosen from any group, although the majority are rep- resentatives of fraternities and dorm- itories. Winners of the contests, sponsored by the four speech fratern- ities and the Union, are awarded tro- phies. Two sets of scholarships are award- ed outstanding speech students at the Honors Convocation. The True- blood Scholarships sets aside an an- nual five hundred dollars, while six women debaters are each given fifty dollars every year in the Eleanor Clay Ford testimonials. Mloore To Conduct WeeklyAssembly For '45 Engineers Following the procedure used in previous years, a series of assemblies for freshmen engineers will be offered again this semester under the direc- tion of freshmman mentor Prof. A. D. Movre of the electrical engineering department. At the assemblies class announce- ments and other general matters will be taken up, in addition to a carefully planned program of important gen- eral and technical engineering infor- mation. Attendance is compulsory, only two absences during the year being ex- cusable. I ore than this number will result in disciplinary action, and may bring expulsion from the College.
