THE MICHIGAN DAILY Wawa"* Prof. A. Jobin Will Give Talk On Wednesday Lecturer To Emphasize Influence Of France On Canadian Writing Prof. Antoine Jobin of the Ro- mance language department will speak at 4:15 'p.m. Wednesday in Room D, Alumni Memorial Hall, on "L'epopee francaise de l'Amerique dans la litterature canadienne," as the sixth lecture in the series spon- sored this year by the Cercle Fran- cais. Drawing from pieces of French Canadian literature to illustrate his lecture, Professor Jobin will stress the persistence of the French feeling in Canada and its importance, especially since the capitulation of France in 1940. Development along this line has concentrated both on preservation of the history of New France and on re- tention of French traditions in the various forms of literature. Marking this trend are works dealing with the great men of the heroic age, pioneers and explorers who founded the colo- nies in Canada and Michigan and who started settling Louisiana. All students are invited to attend the lecture, which will be given in French. Admission is by season ticket. Quarterdeck To Hear Talk Discussion Will Follow on ShipConstruction The first in a series of technical; meetings of the Quarterdeck Society will be held at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, in Room 336, West Engineering Building. A paper on "Analysis of Indeter- minate Frames With Variable Mo- ments of Inertia as Applied to Ship Construction" will be read by Carlo Carnicelli, SpecE, followed by an open discussion on the topic. Every- one interested, but particularly stu- dents of the Marine Engineering and Naval Architecture Departments are invited to attend the meeting. Dur- ing the semester there will be several more technical papers presented in this manner. Sound movies on the art of ship- building, similar to those shown last semester in the Rackham Building, will also form a part of the Society's spring program. Quarterdeck Society's Commodore Donald Creed, '42E, will preside over the meeting. Other officers for the semester are Vice-Commodore Ar- thur Clifford, '42E, Purser David Wohlander, '42E, Program Chairman Carlo Carnicelli, SpecE, and Steward John Wilkie, '42E.

Defense Class' To Be Opened Tomnorrow (Continued from Page 1) rigid specifications is anticipated shortly. Present qualifications call for one year's credit in an engineering col- lege or two years in a literary col- lege, with six hours of credit in each of the fields of mathematics, physics and chemistry. The enrollee also agrees to serve as an ordnance in- spector upon completion of the course. Acting on an Ordnance Depart- ment request, the engineering college will be ready to take in a third sec- tion in mid-March, Colonel Miller' predicted, but it is expected that a lack of applicants will force post- ponement. Sponsored by the U. S. Office of Education, the materials inspection course is one of more than 30 courses now being given under the ESMDT program, and is designed to fill a desperate and ever-growing need for trained men to serve as ordnance in- spectors in war industries. The" inspection course is a full- time proposition, meeting eight hours a day, five days a week, for the 12- week period. During that time the men taking the course will be salaried at $125 a month by the government. One of 13 such coturses currently being given in other districts in the country, the University's course re- ceives its enrollees through the Chi- cago Civil Service district, embracing the greater part of the north Middle West. Dean Ivan C. Crawford of the en- gineering college is supervising all the ESMDT courses given by the Uni- versity, while Prof. R. H. Sherlock of the civil engineering department is doing the actual coordinating, work- ing through the University Extension Service. ...'MICHIGAN MILITARY MEN. By The Gunner Corp.

LYD IA MENDELSSOHN THEATRE Phone 6300 By WILL SAPP Tabulations of the Student Plans Inquiry, which indicate that nearly one-half of the responding Univer- sity students not graduating in May plan to enroll this summer, went to deans and directors of the Univer- sity's 14 schools and colleges yester- day. Using probable enrollment figures as a working base, later to be sup- plemented by tabulations of desired courses, each school and college willz draft its own war-term- academict curricula. Of all non-graduating students,c 5,747, or 73 percent, returned ques-E tionnaires, the War Board said. Allz tabulations have been made upon the 73.4 percent of the sttdents who1 responded, and not upon the total University enrollment. Summer Attendance Figures j Probable long summer term at- tendance, based upon the question-3 naires, sums up like this:7 2,521, or 43.9 percent of thej Unique Steel Huts Used By Marines WASHINGTON, Feb. 28. --(A')- The same type of hut keeps Marines cool in Panama and warm in Iceland. The Navy calls the pre-fabricated steel houses "Quonset Huts" because they are made in Quonset, Rhode Is- land, and says the huts "look like overgrown oil-drums turned on their sides and partially buried." They are built on a foundation of light steel trusses bolted together. Over this is laid a wooden floor which comes in sections. Between the composition inside walls and the corrugated metal out- side walls an insulation wood fiber is spread to give warmth in cold countries and to hold out the heat in the tropics. When used in the tropics, the huts have screened doors and windows at each end, but in the Arctic wooden bulkheads are at the ends to keep out the cold. Each hut, designed to permit 10 single-tier bunks, can accommodate about 25 men, although in the Canal Zone a smaller number occupies each hut. students, indicate that they will enroll in the full-length summer term. 1,948, or 33.9 percent, are un- certain as to summer enroll- ment. 1,278, or 22,2 percent, said that they would not return to attend the University this summer. Accepting the return of question- naires by nearly three-quarters of the non-graduating students as "very gratifying," the' War Board yester- day took the following stand in the estimation of summer term enroll- ment: "It is probable that some, and per- haps many, of the 3,226 students who indicated that they will not return, or are uncertain about returning, for the summer term will later de- cide to enroll, particularly if the University is successful in develop- ing some program of financial aid for students participated in acceler- ated study." No Information Available No information is available con- cerning enrollment in the eight-week summer session, which will run con- currently with the 16-week summer term, and it is quite possible that the short session will attract as many students as usual. In past summers, the majority of summer session en- rollment has been composed of high school teachers, August graduates and other students who lacked four or six hours credit. University ad- ministrators are anxious to deter- mine the approximate summer en- rollment in order to find out what percentage of the operative costs can be defrayed by tuition money. Prof. Harlow J. Heneman, execu- tive director of the War Board, said that the accelerated program, as out- lined by the new calendar, will make it possible for students to receive a bachelor's degree in two years and eight months. Returns from a survey of 700 high schools to determine the probable enrollment of freshmen in the sum- mer term will be announced soon. Students in the education, phar- macy and forestry schools responded 10 percent to the questionnaire. The percentage return from other schools is as follows: architecture-69.6; business administration-87.7; den- tistry-83.1; engineering-90.1; grad- uate-52.3; law-48; L.S.& A.-70.3; medicine-73.8; music-95.3, and public health-51.99 No question- naires were submitted to the nursing school as all nurses attend year- around classes. r a U m SHOWS TODAY at 1 :00-3:05-5:10-715-9:25 P.M.
