THE MICIIGAN DAILY ,-i, i942 Engine Council Makes Annual Banquet Plans Group Will Also Sponsor Speech By S. Q. Wong, Summerhays Announces Students in the College of Engi- neering will get together at their an- nual Engineering Banquet Wednes- day, April 15, Engineering Council president Bob Summerhays, '42E, an- nounced yesterday. In addition to the banquet, the En- gineering Council is planning to sponsor a special talk by Mr. S. Q. Wong, former city engineer at Can- ton, China, and hence given the job of going out to survey the damage done by Japanese bombs. This event will be scheduled in the near future, Summerhays indicated. In the first step of what is to be a continued practice, the Council has voted to place a picture of the late Lieut. George Cannon, killed in ac- tion at Midway Island, in the West Engineering library, with an appro- priate caption. It is planned to give similar recognition to such other Michigan men who might be killed in action.I David Wehmeyer, '44E, was named editor-in-chief of the next issue of The Arch, freshman engineering handbook distributed to incoming en- gineering students to acquaintthem with Michigan traditions, especially those of the College of Engineering. Final business at the diversified meeting held earlier in the week was further discussion of the proposed course in Aerial Bombardment Pro- tection to be given by Prof. Glenn L. Alt of the civil engineering depart- ment under the auspices of the Coun- cil. No definite action has yet been taken, Jim Edmunds, '43E, reported.

Af- ter all, every man on campus is a Union member." One of the more extreme charges against the Union--and one heard only in some quarters-is supposed use of the Union by junior committee chairmen to advance their own chances for a senior job. Sibley pointed out yesterday that the Union, much the same as any other campus organization on merit appointment system, is sometimes confronted with plans that are of more value to the planner's standing1 than to the campus as a whole. "In such cases," Sibley asserted, "the plan doesn't go through and the jun- ior's standing isn't aided."

Plans are now being formulated for At Emergency Corps Banuet more representative group to han- clared. Eleven Boy Scouts were presentedI armbands and Red Cross First Aid Certificates as they became members of the Emergency Service Corps at a banquet Tuesday in Lane Hall. The boys have undergone a period of training in emergency work under the direction of Dr. Elmer Townsley of the physical education depart- ment, Dr. Richard Boys of the Eng- lish department, and Officer May- field of the Ann Arbor police force. At the banquet, Dr. Boys praised the cooperation between the town of Ann Arbor and the University in working together on the ESC. Walter MacPeek, Scout executive, welcomed the boys with a message written by President Roosevelt, stat- ing that next to the armed forces, the youth-training jobs were most essential to the nation. Mr. Harry Financial Help For Religious Study Offered Seniors or graduate students who expect to prepare for the ministry, religious education or similar pursuits are eligible to apply for several schol- arships and fellowships awarded through the University. Most attractive among these, be- cause the holder can make his own selection of a place to study, is known as the Margaret Kraus Ramsdell Fellowship. The fund for this award was established in memory of a daughter of Dean Edward H. Kraus of the College of Literature, Science and the Arts and Mrs. Kraus. After success as a student of his- tory and as a teacher,Margaret Kraus married Dr. Edward Rams- dell, also a University graduate. While teaching at Dana Hall, Bos- ton, she met with a fatal accident. It was to perpetuate one of her major interests that her husband and par- ents established the fellowship. According to the Regents' Pro- ceedings, it is introduced as follows: "The fellowship shall be used to assist graduates of the University of Michigan to pursue advanced studies in this country or abroad in religious education or in preparation for the Christian ministry." Selection of fellows is based upon the qualifications of (a) integrity of moral character, (b) genuineness of religious interests, (c) capacity for superior scholarship, (d) personal at- tractiveness and (e) qualities making for effective leadership in the church. Additional fellowships are offered in the Chicago Schools of Theology and the Biblical Seminary of New York. Those interested should con- sult the counselor in religious edu- cation, Room 9, University Hall. Miller, toastmaster, offered theI group of trained boys to the mayor,I as the Boy Scouts' contribution to civilian defense. Mayor Leigh Young expressed his pleasure at finding such constructive work being done for the defense program. The principal speaker, Dr. R. Clyde Ford of Ypsilanti, described the strength and courage that boys of scouting age are able to show in meeting crises. Dr. Ross Allen, Dis- trict Commissioner of the Boy Scouts, outlinedthe workings of the Service Corps and the part it could play in time of emergency. The Emergency Service Corps was recently organized to train Boy Scouts between the ages of 15-17 for emergency work. Instruction in first aid, firemanship, fingerprinting, pub- lic health, messenger work and other emergency jobs is offered. Meetings are held every Saturday afternoon for three hours in Waterman gym- nasium. Requirements include a physical examination, parental con- sent, and the attainment of the rank of First Class Scout. Dr. Boys urges freshman boys in the University to attend as leaders for the second training period, which has just begun. Rupinski Wins ASME Contest; KoffellSecond Waldemar Rupinski, '42E, was awarded a junior membership in the American Society of Mechanical En- gineers yesterday when it was an- nounced that his paper on "The Mer- cury-Steam Cycle for Power Genera- tion" had won first prize in the con- test being sponsored by the student section of the ASME. Second prize went to Bill Koffell, '42E, for his paper on "Condenser Tubes for Corrosive Waters," while l Carol Walker, '42E, was awarded third prize for his paper, "Analysis of Vibrations." Speakers at the ASME meeting were A. M. Selvey, of the Detroit senior section of the ASME, Ted Winkler, secretary-treasurer of the Detroit section, and Tom Jeffords, of the Detroit senior section, who told of the things expected of the new graduate in industry. Judging the paper contest were Prof. R. Clay Porter of the mechani- cal engineering department, Prof. J. E. Thornton of the engineering Eng- lish department and F. L. Swartz of the mechanical engineering depart- ment. ASME members who do not have blanks for application for member- ship in the senior society may obtain them from Koffell or from Jack Templer, '42E. The Union was represented' unoffi- cially at Committee of '42 meetings by the ten junior executives who were requested to attend but had no vote. Other sources have previously ac- cused the Committee of being "a Union function." University Gets Government's War Research Thirty-one war research projects, underwritten by the United States government, are now under way in University of Michigan science and engineering laboratories, the War Board revealed yesterday. Secret war engineering research, bent upon developing machines, ma- terials and processes for America's armed forces and war industries, is now under the direction of leading University faculty men. A general idea of the nature and scope of University war research may be gained, War Board spokesmen said, from the division of projects among departments. Fourteen of the projects are in engineering, seven in chemistry, seven in physics, two in public health and one in forestry. Prof. Harlow J. Heneman, execu- tive director of the War Board, said that "several" other large research projects on problems related to the war are awaiting final approval from Washington. If approved by Washington offi- cials, Heneman added, these new projects would be undertaken im- mediately and would draw upon all available University facilities. Teachers and pupils in the social studies who have been asking the question, "What can we do to help in the present emergency?" will find the answer they seek in the educa- tion school's March bulletin, to be distributed Monday. In an article entitled, "The Serv- ices of the Social Studies in the Emergency," Prof. Orlando W. Steph- enson, head of the Department of Social Studies in University High School, offers some ideas to clear up this problem. Based upon the "vital interest the pupils have in the progress of the war," Professor Stephenson's sug- gestions include the study of atlases, maps and globes; development of skill in the use of the various types English Pastor Will Describe War: Education German Bombs Blew Up His All Hallows Church During London's Raids The Rev. Michael Coleman-who has gained an understanding of peo- ple at war that few others possess- will speak at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow in St. Andrew's Church. One of the fast-growing list of progressive and socially-conscious English clergy, he is acting vicar of the All Hallows Church in London- a church which was blown to bits by German bombs. It was through his never-ending work among the working people who were his parishioners at the time of the prolonged bombing of London Sthat he obtained his deep under- standing of the trials of the common people during wartime. Before he became a clergyman, Reverend Coleman worked for four years on the English railways and for a time expected to make railroad- ing his profession. He was also ad- ministrator, from 1935 to 1938, of the liberal Canadian organization known as Toe H. His talk here is under the sponsor - ship of the British War Relief Soci- ety. The collection will be devoted to civilian war-relief in the British Isles. Defense Volunteers Will MeetTuesday More than 1,000 members of the University staff who are either regu- lars or volunteers in the protective services of the Washtenaw County Council of Defense have been asked to meet with town and county work- ers at a huge lecture program at 8 p.m. Tuesday in Hill Auditorium. The meeting is not open to the public. Only persons who are police- men, firemen, air raid wardens or disaster preparedness and relief workers are to attend. Films will be shown and lectures given on Fire Protection, Handling of Bombs and Police Work. Credit is to be given for attendance and H. H. Caswell, chairman of the County Defense Council has re- quested that ,if other defense classes have been scheduled for the same time they be postponed. of literary materials; encouragement of pupil initiative in filling notebooks and scrapbooks; general study and discussion of the issues involved in the war and whole-school participa- tion in projects of collection and cooperation with civilian defense pro- grams. A new treatment of the value of educational workshops is given by Wesley C. Darling, teacher of physics and chemistry in the University High School, whose discussions of "Science in a Workshop Program" also ap- pears in the current bulletin. Darling gives as the function of the workshop in science "to help the teacher modify traditional procedures in the presentation of the subject matter of his teaching so as to incor- porate some of the newer techniques and methods with a view to achiev- ing present goals of science teach- ing." Also included in the magazine is a reprint of the letter addressed by Pres. Alexander G. Rut ven to those attending the Michigan breakfast on Feb. 24 at the annual convention of the American Association of School Administrators held in San Fran- cisco. Concluding the bulletin's contents are a statement concerning the three workshops which will be provided by the School of Education in the 1942 Summer Session, and reviews of re- cent publications relating to teaching and to education in general.
