New Lectures
To Probe War,
Peace Ideals
Experts To Lead Course
Of Unique Discussions
In Post-War Problems
Fast progressing plans for a unique
course, Social Studies 93, problems
of the war and of the peace, will give
junior and senior students a compre-
hensive insight into the friction
points of maintaining permanent
peace after the war.
The course, given inter-depart-
mentally in the literary college, will
be for two hours credit, and will con-
sist of lectures. The class will meet
on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 2 p.m.
in Room C, Haven Hall.
Lectures by experts on economics,
political science, geography, sociology
and history will give a balanced out-
line of the various problems which
will become important after the ces-
sation of hostilities.
The emphasis of the new course
will be on the general outlines of the
problems rather than on any specific
blueprint proposed as a solution to
the problems of peace. An integral
part of the course will be a discussion
of the broad peace aims of the bel-
ligerents.
The causes of the present war will
be outlined to give a clear view of
the problems which must be faced at
.the conclusion, of the war. From this
beginning the topics will turn to the
general ideas for maintaining peace
permanently. More specific problems
will be treated -by lecturers in spec-
ialized fields.
Designation of the chairman of the
course is yet lacking. Specific details*
will be released later.
Center To Aid
toU' Foreign
Students Here
With war separating them from
their home lands, University foreign
students will turn more and more
for advice and comfort this year to
the International Center under the
direction of Prof. J. Raleigh Nelson.
The Center provides a varied year-
ly program to aid the students from
other lands in adjusting themselves
to their new environment and in be-
coming acquainted with their fellow
American students.
An outstanding service offered by
the Center is the Counselor's Office.
It was organized by the University in
1933, even before the formal organ-
ization of the International Center
itself. Professor Nelson, director of
the Center, also acts as counselor.
The Counselor's Office helps for-
eign students with their problems of
housing and' employment, registra-
tion and classification, language, im-
migration and naturalization and
personal affairs.
In the fall of 1938, five years after
the establishment of the Counselor's
Office, the International Center was
opened. Between 1933 and 1938 a
program of activities had been de-
veloped that was of such benefit to
foreign students as to warrant a per-
manent organization. The Center
now serves not ,only as a meeting
place for foreign students but is
opened to anyone interested in in-
ternational affairs.
Of vital importance to foreign stu-
dents is the Center's' English lan-
guage service. Other language serv-
ices have also been included in the
Center's program in the past. The
German table and the French round-
table are familiar to many students
on the campus.

Libraries Give
Study Facilities
To All Students,
More than a million books, period-'
icals and references in the huge Ltii-
versity library system await the use
of undergraduates and faculty mem-
bers this year.
From the General Library, square
in the center of the campus, and
branch libraries in Angell and Tap-
pan halls, in buildings of various col-
leges and the University Hospital,
Professor Warner G. Rice, director
of the system, can command the dis-
tribution of 1,168,612 books.
Opened in 1920, the main library
building has seats for about 1,000 per-
sons in its numerous reading and
study rooms. Through the summer
its facilities have been in constant
use. The General Library is open
from 7:45 to 10 p.m. daily and the
periodical room and the main reading
room remain open from 2 p.m. to 9
p.m. on Sunday.
Books may be drawn from, the
stacks at the delivery deskron the
second floor for use in the library
or charged at the charging desk for
home use.
Most books may be retained for
home use for a period of two weeks.
A fine of five cents a day is charged
for overdue books.
Current issues of more than 1600
different periodicals are kept for stu-
dent use in the periodical room.
The Library is maintained by an
annual appropriation of the Board of
Regents. The present General Lib-
rary building was erected at a cost of
$615,000.00.
American historical collections are
on exhibit from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. daily
in the William L. Clements Library.
Printed catalogue cards issued by
the Library of Congress in Washing-
ton are used in the library filing sys-
tem along with card publications of
the John Crerar Library of Chicago,
American Library Associates, Harvard
University and the University of Chi-
cago.
University Flying Club
Helps Toward License
The University Flying Club, a
member of the National Intercol-
legate Flying Club, is accepting non-
flying students for membership for
the first time this year, because'most
flying students have left for service
in the nation's flying services.
Operating from the Ann Arbor
Airport, the club has a program of
competitive flying with other colleges
in the vicinity, as well as building up
flying time toward getting licenses
and teaching new members to fly.
Individual members with sufficient
flying time have recently become
members of the Civil Air Patrol.
In Intercollegiate Flying Club com-
petitions, the University club won
first place two years ago, and was
second last year.
