Rutlven Lads
USO Campaign
In Ann Arbor
Gves Pledge To Drve
Seen 'Blow i Defense
Of American Causes'
Earl H. Cress, chairman of the
USO-Community Chest Campaign
scheduled to open Nov. 8 in Ann Ar-
bor, yesterday received a letter from
President Alexander G. Ruthven com-
mending the purpose of the drive
and pledging full support to it.
"To contribute to the Ann Arbor
USO - Community Fund Campaign
is to strike a blow in defense of causes
which are close to the hearts of all of
us because they are so typically Amer-
ican and so closely allied to the things
we most dearly prize," President
Ruthven stated.
Faculty Pledge Gifts
Several University faculty members
and employes have already pledged
advanced gifts to the drive which has
its goal set at $77,500. The Univer-
sity representatives who are soliciting
advanced gifts are Ira M. Smith, reg-
istrar; Mrs. Jesse Coller, Mrs. C. W.
Brshares, and Mrs. Leonard Himler.
Ths year the USO campaign
and the Community Fund drive have
been Incorporated and the campaign
committee hopes proceeds will reach
a mark exceeding last year's fund by
at least $12,000. More than 250 people
are working on the drive.
Ruthven Praises Drive
In his letter to Cress, Dr. Ruthven
wrote, "Ann Arbor is our home city;
we are proud of its traditions and its
people and of the kind of life for
which it has stood for so many dec-
ades," and he mentioned that the
Comniunity Fund had a great deal
to do with the well being of the city.
Dr. Ruthven also lauded the drive
for contributing at the same time to
the "organization which is the most
effective agency in ministering to
the bomfort of our own soldiers, sail-
ors and marines, who are fighting in
order to preserve American homes and
American cities such as ours."
Engine Societies
Plan Coordination
Under Committee
The Engineering Council, coordi-
nating body for all engineering college
activitiestook active steps yesterday
to coordinate the diverse activities
of the many engineering societies by
the establishment of a Committee of
Coordination, Council President Jim
Edmunds, '43E., announced.
This committee proposal, which has
been pushed forward by Bud Burgess,
'44E, and John Cox, '45E, engineering
council representatives, came about
through a need to eliminate conflict-
ing meeting dates of the societies and
to provide larger attendance at the
meetings. At present there are 16 ac-
tive engineering societies. '
The committee will primarily act as
a mediator to set meeting dates of
engineering groups so that there will
be as little conflict as possible among
the dates.
The committee will also attempt to
provide machinery through which
joint meetings of societies can be
arranged. He also went on to explain
that often societies desire to hold
joint meetings but are unable to do
so because until now no machinery
has been provided for this purpose.
The third function of the new com-
mittee will be to give adequate pub-
licity to the dates and nature of these
society meetings.

Ganoe'sStory Of MacArthurg.
Featutred In November Garg

"A never-ending interest in people,
in studying and knowing individuals,"
is the impression General Douglas
MacArthur left on his friend and
chief-of-staff, Col. William A. Ganoe,
after their. three years- together at.
West Point.
Colonel Ganoe, head of the Univer-
sity's ROTC, tells of his experiences
with MacArthur' in Friday's Gar-
goyle. The General, then superinten-
dent at the' United States Military
Academy, personally chose Ganoe as
his adjutant and was with him night
and day.
From his contact with Ma'cArthur
during 'this time, Colonel Ganoe re-
tains many anecdotes and impres-
sions which are retold' in. the new
Gargoyle. Ganoe saw MacArthur's
great facility in handling men and
his modesty in getting credit for all
his accomplishments.
MacArthur told Ganoe of an inci-
dent when he went out with a patrol
of men into No-Man's Land one after-
nopn and the Boches opened a cross-
fire. The men were all in a shell hole,
at the first burst and lay there till
evening.
"When it grew dusk,"' ,MacArthur
related to Ganoe, "I shouted to the
men in the other holes: 'Each man
put his hand on the shoulder of the
man on his right. I am on the right.
I will lead off.' There was no answer.
It was dark. I made my way into and
along the nearest hole. I felt the first
man. He was cold-stone dead. I felt
the second. He was- dead. I felt them
all-one by one-all dead-the whole
18. I was the only one alive. I made
my way back alone. God led me by the
hand."
The story of MacArthur's relation-
ship to Colonel Ganoe will be told in
full in the Garg issue Friday, in

which he is cited merely as classmate
and friend. Other articles in the 44-
page magazine will be m6re'concerned
with campus life and University
activities.
Engine Council
Holds Smoker
Frosh Engineers 'Attend
Discussions At Union
- - , - - 1 -
The smoke was almost nonexistent
but there were plenty. of' rapid-fire
questions and' answers and' a lot of
general discussions' about '°eiineers
and engineering problems last night
in the. Union main ballroom as more
than 250 freshman engineers gath-
ered at an Engineering Council activ-
ity smoker.
The meeting was chairmaned by
Jim Edmunson, '43E, Engineering
Council president, who introduced
Dean 'Ivan C. Crawford of the engi-
neering college, the main speaker of
the evening. Dean Crawford centered
his discussion upon the place of the
engineering college, in the University
and then went on to explain relation-
ships of the engineering college with
the war effort. He .also, announced
the formation of a new committee on
engineer's ethical- problems.
Next the engineering beginners
were formally introduced to the Mich-
igan Technic in the person of Bill
Hutcherson, its 1942 - 43 editor-in-
chief. The Technic, Hutcherson ex-
plained, is the official magazine of
the "engine school" and by correspon-
ding to regular engineering publica-
tions it serves to introduce. ergineers
to this vital source of information-
the trade journal.

Carr

Will Direct Work
LivingConditions

An intense statistical and field
study of housing, recreational and
educational conditions in the Willow
,un area will begin this week under
the direction of Professor Carr of the
sociology department of the Univer-
The announcement of the planned
eight month survey came from James
Stermer, field sociologist for the
lgichigan Child Guidance Institute,
which will work in conjunction with
the University on this project.
"While no coordinated investigation
of the area has yet been made," Mr.
Stermer said, "it is evident that the
small local school is definitely over-
crowded since it must take care of
from two to three hundred children in
a building which was built to accom-
modate a hundred and eighty, that
families are living in trailers, garages
and basements and there is almost a
complete lack of recreational facilities
for both children and adults."
When the survey is completed the
information derived will be turned
over to the Willow Run Family Secur-
ity Committee which is the clearing
house for the forty-two local, county,
state and federal -agencies operating
in the area.
