New 'Technic'
Features War

Bomber
Dam

Plant, Artillery,
Are Described

A magazine packed with defense
information will be offered students
of the engineering college at 8 a.m.
tomorrow when the January issue of
The Michigan Technic is put'on sale.
Heading the list of defense arti-
cles will be an account of a trip
through Ford's gigantic Willow Run
bomber plant in Ypsilanti by Keith
L. Smith, '43E, entitled "World's
Largest Bomber Plant."
Of equal interest is "Revolution In
Artillery," by Col. H. W. Miller of the
engineering drawing department, in
which is described the development
of artillery from its early stages to
modern applications.
Completing the list of articles,
"Miracle of Concrete," by William 0.
Jacobs, '44E, will describe Grand
Coulee Dam, the largest edifice ever
constructed by man.
Lieut.-Col. H. W. D. Riley of the
military science department will be
introduced to Technic readers in the
feature, "The Technic Presents ...,"
as will students Henry "Hank" Field-
ing, '42E, and Robert "Bud" Keetch,
'42E.
Students who neglected to buy their
December issue before vacation may
get them with the January issue

CPT Course
Now Taking
Applications
Applications for the spring Civil-
ian Pilots' Training Program are be-
ing accepted now for the new course
that will start February 17.
The present course will be finished
around February 1, and approxi-
mately 45 of the original 50 students
will be graduated. Most of these are
already through with the ground
school work and have passed their
flight examinations.
The Civilian Pilot Training Pro-
gram was begun a few years ago by
a Government money appropriation
to develop civilian aviation. The
complete program consists of four
consecutive courses: Elementary,
Secondary, Cross-Country and In-
structor, the first two of which are
offered by the University. Upon suc-
cessful completion of the Elementary
course a student private may obtain
a pilot's license for small aircraft up
to 80 H. P.
The next course, which will ex-
tend over a 12- to 15-week period,
will be finished by May in order to
start a course for the summer session.
Students are urged to apply early,
since last year's quota of 50 will
probably be maintained.
The applicant must pass a rigid
physical examination, must be a
male citizen of the United States, be'
at least 19 but not over 26 years of
age, and be of at least sophomore
standing. The written permission of
his parents must be obtained by any-
one under 21 years of age.
These courses offer an excellent
opportunity for those who are eligi-
ble for the draft but who wish to
finish school before entering the
Army or Navy.

before he puts pen on paper, that the
new work he is contemplating will
find eager hands among American
musical groups long before the ink
becomes dry."
Born in Oklahoma, Harris studied
piano from his mother, and at 25 de-
cided to make music his life work.
Considering himself a contemporary
classicist, he believes that "we Ameri-
cans have new, swift, strong, clear
music in us and we can best express
it with a broad knowledge of the re-
sources of music as a living lan-
guage."

to be here for the clinic are Erik Leid-
zen, composer and arranger from
New York, Gustave Langenus, clar-
inetist, and August Helmecke, per-

at the clinic in addition to its ap-
pearance Sunday, while Eugene Het-
ter and his Holland High School or-
ganization will present the class C

TYPING

A professor of political science and
four members of the history depart-
ment will tour nearby Army en-
campments in the capacity of civilian
lecturers to present short courses in
history and international law in an
attempt to make clear to the men in
our military forces the reasons for
which they are fighting.
Prof. Lawrence Preuss, of the poli-
tical science department, will lecture
upon "The Causes of the Second
World War," upon the request of the
War Department Bureau of Public
Relations. He will speak at Fort
Custer on Feb. 5 and at Selfridge
Field on Feb. 12 and 13.
Prof. A.E.R. Boak, head of the De-
partment of History said four men
in his department had been request-
ed to speak. They are Profs. Dwight
Drummond, Howard Ehrmann, Rob-
ert MacDowell and Preston Slosson.
According to Professor Preuss, he
will present the story of international
relations since the Sino-Japanese
"incident" of 1931 to the present-
the period in which international
law has fallen almost into disuse.
The program will include a discus-
sion of the European political scene,
talks on the various phases of war
in the Far East, lectures on our war
effort both from civilian and a mili-
tary point of view and lastly a sur-
vey of the role of the American sol-
dier who is fighting for his country.

Critic.Praises .RothEnsemble

"If there is any finer chamber
music played on earth, I have failed
to hear it. The Roth Quartet ac-
complishes miracles."
So Herbert Bayser, music critic for
the New York Telegram, wrote fol-
lowing a concert by the Roth String
Quartet, and it aptly describes the
group who will present the Second
Annual Chamber Music Festival Fri-
day and Saturday in the Rackham,
Auditorium. Concerts will be given at
8:30 p.m. Friday and at 2:30 p.m. and
8:30 p.m. on Saturday.
The Roth String Quartet has been
playing in this country since 1928
and is unsurpassed in its field of
chamber music. The increased popu-
larity of this type of music is largely
because of the success of the Roth
group.
Friday evening the quartet will play
Quartet in D major, Op. 76, No. 5, by
Haydn; Quartet in F by Ravel; and
Quartet in A minor, Op. 41, No. 1 by
Schumann.
The Saturday afternoon program
will include Tschaikowsky's Quartet

in D major, Op. 11, Malipiero's "Ris-
petti Strambotti, and Boccherinin's
Quartet in G minor, Op. 33, No. 5.
Quartet in D major by Mozart; Fqur
Preludes and Fugues by Roy Harris;
and Quartet in F major, Op. 135, by
Beethoven will be heard Saturday
evening.
