Electronics Training Plan
To Be Featured In Talk
By Lieut. Zimmerman
Dutlies Explained
Lieut. F. A. Zimmerman, repre-
sentative of the Chief Signal Officer
of the War Department will visit Ann
Arbor today to consult with students
enrolled in a special war training
course in the theory and use of Ulra-
High frequency waves.
Lieutenant Zimmerman will dis-
cuss with members of the class, both
as a group and individually, the op-
portunities open to them in the Sig-
nal Corps, Aircraft Warning Service.
Although many graduates of this
and smilar war training courses have
already accepted positions in indus-
try, Professor Holland director of the
course has repeatedly stressed that
industry cannot assure them exemp-
tion from military service.
Enlist In Reserve Corps
Students enrolled in the course
have been urged to enlist in the Re-
serve Corps and it is with those who
have already enlisted that Lieutenant
Zimmerman is particularly interested
in speaking. He will explain to these
students how they may best serve
the war effort when and if they are
inducted into military service.
The Electronics Training Plan,
which is to be explained by Lieuten-
ant Zimmerman, makes students who
fulfill its requirements eligible for
application for a commission as sec-
ond lieutenant, for duty with the Sig-
nal Corps, for Aircraft Warning Serv-
ice, or for membership with the elec-
tronics training group.
Commissions Expected
It is to be emphasized, however,
that students enrolled in war-train-
ing courses are, not necessarily obli-
gated to accept a commission al-
though they are naturally expected
to do so.
Students who have a degree in
Electrical Engineering, who are 21,
unmarried and physically sound are
eligible for a commission and upon
acceptance will not be subject to call
as draft selectees.
Successful applicants will be sent
to England to receive special instruc-
tion in the design and operation of
secret devices for airplane detection.

Hobbs To Give
War Lecture
'South America And War'
To Be Topic Sunday
Recently returned from an exten-
sive survey of sub-Equator nations,
Prof.-Emeritus William H. Hobbs of
the geology department will discuss
"South America and the War" in a
public lecture at 4 p.m. Sunday in
Rackham Lecture Hall.
Professor Hobbs, who will speak
under the auspices of the Committee
To Defend America, was a delegate
to the first Pan-American Congress
for Mining Engineering and Geol-
ogy in Santiago, Chile. He represen-
ted the Carnegie Endowment for In-
ternational Peace and also the Uni-
versity engineering college.
During his trip Professor Hobbs
was able to observe all but four of
the South American republics, and
arrived in Rio de Janeiro immedi-
ately after a major conference had
been called to discuss breaking of
Axis relations.
The South American political
changes wrought by war were also
seen by Professor Hobbs on his sur-
vey.

New ESMDT Program Slated
For Opening Week Of April 13

T'he tipoirarily-idle wheels of the
University's dcfense training system
will start turning again the week of
April 13, when Dean IvanC. Craw-
ford of the College of Engineering
department will supervise a new series
of courses under the Engineering,
Science and Manag oment Defensel
Training programtn.
Even as 30-odd courses begun un-
der a sinimilar series come nulnced last
January were wound up last week,
plans were be in la11id for the new
sereis, whici Il'ai Crawford pre-
dicts will involve a similar number,
of courses ep7ected to draw ,a total
enrolminwnt of about 900. 4
Alt bough .ost of te( cou ses will
be presented in Detroit,, instruiction
will; alsO be offered in Ann Arbor,
Flint, Ja ckson. Dearborn and Grand
Rapids. Grand Rapids is the only
new addition to the list, while Ecorse
and Royal Oak were represented in
the last series and have been dropped.
Present plans, though tentative
and as yet ;incompljlete, call for the
repetition of some of the courses of-
fered under the last series; while oth-
ers will be designed to give advance
training based on the fundamentals
presented in the last series. Several
new courses are also contemplated.
The final number of courses to be
given has not yet been determined,
Dean Crawford said, but present in-
dications are that between 30 and 35
courses will be started.
Meanwhile two sections of a course
in Ordnance Materials Inspection, be-
gun on campus in January and
March respectively, also under the
ESMDT program, are continuing,
and Administrator Col. H. W. Miller
of the engineering drawing depart-
ment has announced that 76 men will
be graduated from the first section
early in April.
Plans are now being undertaken to
receive still another section of train-
ees in Ordnance Materials Inspec-
tion, as soon as they can be obtained
through the Civil Service Commis-
sion, Colonel Miller disclosed.
A University credit course in Ul-
tra-High-Frequency Techniques, cur-
rently being taught by Prof. L. N.
Holland of the electrical engineering
department to 33 selected senior and
graduate electrical engineers, is also
part of the ESMDT program.
Now well established as a definite
success, the ESMDT courses were in-
augurated last fall, when the first
seriels was run off. Sponsored by the
U.S. Office of Education, they are
implemented through the University
Extension Service and coordinated
by Prof. R. H. Sherlock of the civil
engineering department.
