THE MICHIGAN DAILY
Normal Faced
With Prospect
Of Shutdown,
Dormitories Of Students
May Be Used To House
Willow Run Workmen
The 1,500 students of Michigan
State Normal College at Ypsilanti
yesterday faced the possibility of
having to continue their education
elsewhere as a proposal to house Wil-
low Run defense workers in the
school's dormitories was informally
placed before Dr. Frank Cody, presi-
dent of the state board of education.
Mrs. Josephine Gomon, director of
the women personnel at the Willow
Run bomber plant made the sugges-
tion as a means of providing housing
accommodations for the steadily in-
creasing number of workers and of
relieving already crowded living con-
ditions in Ypsilanti.
If the proposal is carried out it
may ultimately mean that the college
will be closed and that the students
will be forced to transfer to other in-
stitutions.
' When asked what he thought of
the plan, Dr. Cody said, "We're out
first to win this war. This is an emer-
gency and this proposal is a defense
measure." But he also asserted that
no action will be taken until it has
been requested formally by Gov.
Murray D. VanWagoner. Mrs. Gomon
has discussed the matter with the
governor.
The college's dormitories house 400
women and 200 men students. Many
rooming houses formerly occupied by
students are now reported filled with
defense workers.
It is believed that the students at
the school will find no difficulty
in readily transferring to other
institutions since college enrollments
everywhere are declining, especially
among male students, because of the
war.

U.S. To Build
Larger Army,
Patterson Says
Undersecretary Of War
States 6,000,000 ren
To Bear Arms in Future
WASHINGTON, May 5.-(AP)--The
United States is to have an Army
of 6,000,000 men, Undersecretary of
War Patterson disclosed today in
opposing a Congressional move to
ban the commissioning of officers
direct from civilian ranks. -
As a result of the War Depart-
ment's opposition, the House Mili-
tary Committee ditched the proposal
and adopted instead a provision re-
quiring merely that the Secretary 'of
War report to CongreT every 60 days
the name, age, residence and qualifi-
cations of every civilian given a com-
mission.
Chairman May (Dem.-Ky.) said
the amendment was satisfactory to
the War Department and Represen-
tative Faddis (Dem.-Pa.), author of
the original ban against civilian com-
missions, said it was agreeable to
him.
Faddis expressed belief that the
requirement for publishing the names
of civilians given commissions would
"serve the original purpose to stop
this practice of handing out com-
missions by the wholesale to persons
not qualified to hold them."
The provision was attached to the
measure providing pay increases for
the armed forces. May said he would
seek House consideration of the
legislation early next week. The Sen-
ate already has approved the pay
increase provisions.
Patterson made only incidental
reference to the 6,000,000-man goal
for the Army and did not dis-
close when it was to be reached. It
had been announced previously that
the Army planned to have 3,600,000
men in its ranks this year.
After telling the Committee that
the Department found it necessary
frequently to go into civilian walks
to obtain qualified personnel for
administrative and technical posi-
tions with the Army, Patterson asked,
"How can you expect them to do
their job unless you give them the
means to do it?"
"Trust the Army leaders in *this
policy," he pleaded. "The fate of
the Nation depends on these men"
and they should not be "hampered
and trammelled" by rules concerning
whom they may or may not use.
"Don't sabotage the whole effort
by putting us in a strait-jacket," he
added.

Dr. Wickenden, who has long been
connected with both the operative
and educational phase of his field,
will discuss various aspecLs of the
employment problem ior the engineer
after the war is over. He will be in-
troduced by Ivan C. Crawford, dean

on the disappearance and return of
the engineers' slide rule will at last

rule was stolen from the annual ball
given by the engineers and since then
has been the subject of many rumors.

Shots Don't Exaggerate :
Former M' Student Appears
Here In Dramatic Season Play
By BERYL SHOENFIELD
Lauren Gilbert, former Michigan
student now appearing with Francis
Lederer in the 1942 Dramatic Sea-
son offering, S. N. Behrman's "No
Time for Comedy," opening May 11,
is one actor who really looks like his
publicity shots.
Moustached, greying at the temples,
actor Gilbert readily talked of his
rise in the theatrical world.
Born in Nebraska, Gilbert attend-
ed Nebraska Wesleyan and the Uni-
versity of Chicago, "majoring in zo-
ology and minoring in physiology
and chemistry," for according to an
early belief, he was destined to be a
doctor. But late in the game as it
was, he changed his plans and arrived
at Michigan in 1933 to get his Ph.D.
in speech.
On campus Gilbert played opposite
actress Martha Scott, then a Michi-
gan student, with the Repertory
Players and with the Play Produc-
tion group, while acting as assistant
business manager for the former or-
ganization. Gilbert and Miss Scott
appeared together in "Mr. Pim Passes
By," "Round the World in 80 Days,"

CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING
and "The Importance of Being Earn-
est."
Writing copy, handling production
and announcing for the New York
Broadcasting Company "where I was
merely official bat boy, was another
phase in Gilbert's career. Work with
the Red Network and Columbia
Broadcasting System followed.
Experience gained in this period
of speaking over the microphone was
utilized later when the actor made
"talking books" for the blind with
the Library of Congress.
Shakespearean roles opposite Mar-
tha Scott and Jackson Perkins (who
later became Mrs. Gilbert) in Chi-
cago's Globe Theatre found Gilbert
in 15 plays, including "As You Like
It," "All's Well That Ends Well,"
and "Hamlet" - "all the juvenile
leads," Gilbert added.
Starting in New York in 1936, Gil-
bert rose rapidly in the dramatic
field. He played major parts in
"Twelfth Night," with Helen Hayes;
"Hamlet," with Maurice Evans;
"Dame Nature," a Theatre Guild
Production; "The Mother," with Naz-
imova; "and several other flops,"
Gilbert admitted.
Most discouraging of the "flops"
was Gilbert's first vehicleton Broad-
way-a Max Gordon production of a
George S. Kaufman play, starring
Laura Hope Crewes, on which $60,000
had been expended.
"I never knew what the reason
was," Lauren Gilbert said sadly, "but
I had such a good part-and it folded
in a week."

Today's Ann Arbor News
In Summary
New Federal occupational ques-
tionnaires have been sent to 2,249
Ann Arbor men between the ages of
20 to 44 who registered for the draft
Feb. 16.
This survey is designed to create
a war labor pool by determining what
each man is able to do in war pro-
duction. Wherever possible, skilled
laborers will be placed in defense in-
dustries instead of in military service.
Action was taken by the city
council at its last meeting to permit
the city government to negotiate
with Federal authorities in under-
taking the removal of all the old
steel car tracks embedded in Ann
Arbor streets.
It is estimated that approximately
46,000 feet of steel rail, weighing
nearly 600 tons are in the city streets
and can be removed for utilization
in war production.
Dr. Harry A. Towsley, of the Uni-
versity medical school, has been ap-
pointed to the Ann Arbor board of
health by Mayor Leigh J. Young.
Professor At Meeting
Dr. Thomas Francis, Professor of
Epidemiology, is attending a meeting
of the Association of American Physi-
cians at Atlantic City, N.J., this week.
