Plans for the spring series of En-
gineering, Science and Management
Defense Training courses took more
definite shape yesterday when Dean
Ivan C. Crawford of the engineering
college revealed that final arrange-
ments had been made for a total of
33 courses to be begun the week of
April 13.
As in previous series, Detroit will
again get the majority of these
courses designed to turn out tech-
nically trained men for work in de-
fense industries, a total of 25 having
been assigned to that city.
Three For Ann Arbor
Ann Arbor, given two courses in the
winter series, will take on three this
time, a course in Advanced Machine
Drafting superseding a course in De-
scriptive Geometry offered previous-
ly, while Product Supervision will be
new to the list. Prof. M. B. Eichel-
berger of the engineering drawing
Hillel Plans
For Passover
Announced
Plans for the traditional celebra-
tion of the eight day long Feast of
Passover, beginning 6:30 p.m. April 1,
including observance of the special
diet, were announced yesterday by
David Crohn, '43, student director of
Hillel Foundation.
Meals in the ritualistic tradition
will be served at Lane Hall. The first
two nights of the feast will be cele-
brated by the Seder, the ceremonial,
dinner signifying the events at the
time the Israelites escaped from the
bondage of the Egyptians.
Services will be lead by Rabbi Je-
hudah M. Cohen, director of Hillel
Foundation, Mr. Samuel Levy, David
Crohn and Jack Lewin-Epstein, '43.
The Hillel Choral Group conducted
by Donna Weiss, '43, will sing at the
services.
Reservations for the meals or the

department will again conduct his
course in Mechanical Drawing.
Other cities participating in the
new series will be Flint, Dearborn,
Grand Rapids and Jackson. Ecorse
and Royal Oak, represented in the
last series, have been dropped this
time, while Grand Rapids is the only
newcomer to the list.
Facultymen To Instruct
Instruction for the courses, most
of which will last for eight weeks,
will be given largely by College of
Engineering facultymembers, though
men obtained from outside indus-
tries will assist in several of the sec-
tions.
Also included in the ESMDT pro-
gram is the course in Ordnance Ma-
terials Inspection now being given
by the College of Engineering. This
course, running 12 weeks, now has
an enrollment of about 130, in two
sections, and a third section is ex-
pected to start study early in A ril.
A course in Ultra-High-Frequen-
cy Techniques, currently being taught
selected senior and graduate electri-
cal engineers by Prof. L. N. Holland
of the electrical engineering depart-
ment, is also a part of the program.
All courses scheduled for the spring
series will get under way either April
13 or 14, except a course in Aerial
Bombardment Protection under Prof.
Glenn L. Alt of the civil engineering
department, which will be opened in
Detroit April 16.
Longer Course
In contrast to the usual eight-week
schedule, Jackson will have a 16-
week course in Industrial Safety En-
gineering, present plans indicate.
Sponsored by the U.S. Office of
Education, the ESMDT program
courses are implemented by the Uni-
versity Extension Service, Prof. R.
H. Sherlock of the civil engineering
department doing the coordinating.
