AGE SIXTE MICHIGAN DAILYZW YDNESDAY, MARCH 4, 194t2 Drastic Changes Forecast Need For Ordnance Inspectors May Cut Course's Prerequisites ASSOCIATED PRESS * POCTURE NEWS By CHARLES THATCHER An increasingly urgent need for trained men to serve as industrial inspectors for the Detroit Ordnance District may soon force drastic, changes in the present rigid require- ments for enrollment in the Univer- sity's course in Ordnance Materials Inspection. Administering the course, Col. H. W. Miller of the engineering drawing department yesterday stated that "we make no use of the chemistry Student assistants are still needed to help in the instruction of the ordnance courses. Interested en- gineering juniors and seniors, es- pecially those who have had shop experience and can work from 8 to 11 a.m., are asked to call at Room 414, West Engineering Building, as soon as possible. and physics credit which is now re- quired of applicants, and I see no reason why even the mathematics stipulation can't be reduced. Pledged to bringing about a gen- cral change in the present enroll- ment requirements, Colonel Miller revealed that enrollment quotas are unfilled in both the sections under way at the present time, due to a lack of qualified men. Present requirements call for two years in an engineering college or one year in a literary college, with six hours of credit in each of the fields of chemistry, physics and mathematics. Mathematics requirements are higher than is necessary, Colonel Miller said, and it is hoped that the eventual requirement will be only' SLA Chapter To Meet Today Organization Will Discuss Semester's Activities The Michigan Chapter of the Stu- dent League of America will meet at 5 p.m. today in the Union in order to discuss the organization's activities for the current semester. The Student League of America, formerly the Student Defenders of Democracy, is a newly formed na- tional progressive youth organiza- tion, founded during the Christmas vacation at a student convention at Harvard University. Most important topic on the agen- da of the meeting will be the pro- posed plan for bringing to Ann Arbor speakers nationally known in many important fields. Various outstand- ing members of the faculty will also be discussed as possible speakers at future SLA meetings. Homer Swander, '43, chairman of the local chapter and national presi- dent of the Student League of Amer-. ica,' will give an account of the for- mation of the SLA, and will give members information as to its prog- ress to date. All members are urged to attend, and all those interested in becoming affiliated with the Student League of America should come to this meeting. Dr. Carl flartinan Discusses Results Of Primate Work Supplementing his address with a veriety of slides, Dr. Carl O. Hart- man, professor of physiology at the University of Illinois, spoke to a Uni- versity Lecture audience yesterday on the topic, "Two Decades of Primate Studies and Their Influence on Gynecological Thought and Prac- tice," Dr. Hartman, with 15 years asso- ciation with the Carnegie Embryo- logical Institute as a background, discussed some of the results obtained through experimentation with female monkeys in relation to human repro- duction. Working witli three other promi- nent doctors; Dr. Hartman contribu- ted to the research through his know- ledge of sex physiology and effects of the sex hormones of monkeys. that the applicant be credited with high school algebra and trigonom- etry. In all, the new requirements as proposed by Colonel Miller will de- mand (1) only one year in any col- lege, engineering or literary; and (2) high school algebra and trig- onometry. Over and above the scholastic re- quirements, the regulations stipulate that the enrollee agree to serve as an ordnance inspector upon comple- tion of the 12-week course. During the period of instruction a monthly salary of $125 is paid. Original plans for the series, pre- sented under tqie Engineering, Sci- ence and Management Defense Training program, called for the arrival of the first 100 trainees in mid-January. Actual figures showed only 77 men available at that time. A second section of 100, scheduled to begin training one month later, was postponed because of lack of equipment, but even then got under way yesterday with an enrollment only slightly over 60. The opening of the third section will probably be largely influenced by the number of men available. In- terested students may obtain further particulars in Room 414, West Engi- neering Building. French Canada To Be Subject Of Jobin Talk One of the vital strongholds of French culture, French Canada, will be the subject of a lecture by Prof. Antoine Jobin of the romance lan- guages department at 4:15 p.m. to- day in Room D, Alumni Memorial Hall. Continuing the series of programs in French and sponsored by the Cer- cle Francais, Professor Jobin will discuss "L'epopee francaise de 1'- Amerique dans la litterature cana- dienne." Since the fall of France in 1940 the maintenance of French tra- ditions on the American continent has become increasingly important to scholars in the fields of language and literature. Recent trends in French-Canadian letters have pointed to a new em- phasis on the history and culture of New France. Writers narrate the accomplishments of Marquette, La- Salle, Joliet and other explorers and pioneer. settlers; radio groups have revived numerous French plays and elaborate programs have given a new importance to the old folk songs. Professor Jobin will discuss this genre, partly historical and partly literary, and will use selections from recent works to illustrate his talk. All members of the University are invited to attend the lecture, upon presentation of a ticket. Tickets may be purchased from the secretary of the romance languages department or at the door of the lecture hall be- fore the talk. New under-arm Cream Deodorant safely Stops Perspiration 1.
