_, City Wide USO Drive to Begin at Sunday Rallya Campaign to Secure Money for Community Fund, War Prisoners The University Men's Glee Club will share honors with the Ann Arbor Civic Orchestra, Sunday at a city- wide rally in Hill Auditorium whichc fires off the $77,500 USO-Community Fund drive. Both groups of musicians will per- ' form in a 3:20 p. m. program on the opening day of a sweeping week's7 drive to aid the causes of the Com-I munity Fund, the United Service Or-1 ganizations, and the War Prisoner's Aid." Earl H. Cress, general chairman of the drive, said both Ann Arbor public" schools and the University will have an active hand in the canvassing for this deliberately "punchy campaign." This first concerted drive since the outbreak of war will pro-rate the' money it secures among three causes with a majority of the money destined for Ann Arbor Community Fund, Agencies. USO, sponsors now plan, will receive about $15,000 if the quota is reached, and War Prisoner's Aid" about $500.00. Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts will usher at the, rally Sunday, the Com- niunity Fund announces, and public sehpo1s will send notes to every parent explaining the purposes of the USO. Twelve local social service organi- zations will divide the share of the money given the Community Fund, and six.City USO agencies, including the YMCA, Salvation Army, and Jew- ish and Catholic organizations will divide the rest. 28 Co-op Delegates. to Attend Conclave Twenty-eight delegates from the University will take part in discus- sions on campus cooperatives and the war emergency at a.conference' of the Midwest Federation of Cooperatives ?ov. 6, 7, -and 8, at the University of Chicago.

Hook Defeated in Close Battle for Congress 12 Seats in Congress Won by Republicans DETROIT, Nov. 4.- '(P)- Unoffi- cial returns from yesterday's general election indicated that resurgent Michigan Republicans had driven Democrats from their last outstate congressional stronghold, the Upper Peninsula's Twelfth District where Rep. Frank E. Hook of Ironwood was seeking a fifth consecutive term. With only five scattering Marquette County precincts unreported, John B. Bennett, Ontonagon Republican, held an edge of a little more than 3,500 votes which late returns were padding slightly. The Twelfth was the only district to change its politi- cal complexion. Five Detroit districts returned Dem- ocratic congressmen and the eleven other outstate districts, including the 17th, which sprawls across the Oak- land-Wayne county line, returned Republicans. Except in the Twelfth and the First, where Rep. Rudolph G. Tenerowicz was defeated in the pri- mary, incumbents were reelected. Tenerowicz' Democratic successor won handily in the first district, how- ever. The 17th remained Republican, reelecting Rep. George A. Dondero by a margin of approximately 11,000 over Mrs. Dorothy Kemp Roosevelt, sister-in-law of the President's wife. On the strength of virtually com- pleteunofficial returns, the Michi- gan delegation's lineup in the 78th Congress will be : Republicans - Bennett; Paul W. Shafer of battle Creek, Clare E. Hoff- man of Allegan, Bartel J. Jonkman of Grand Rapids, Jesse P. Wolcott of Port Huron and Roy O. Woodruff of Bay City, all reelected over the pleas of opponents who criticized them as pre-Pearl Harbor isolationists; Earl C. Michener of Adrian, William W. Blackney of Flint, Fred L. Crawford of Saginaw, Albert J. Engel of Muske- gon. Fred J. Bradley of Rogers City and Dondero, also reelected. Democrats- former Congressman George G. Sadowski, who succeeded to Tenerowicz' seat, George D O'- Brien, Louis C. Rabaut, John D. Din- gell and John :Lesinski. Van Wagoner Says Defeat Was Part of GOP Trend LANSING, Nov. 4.- ()- Governor Van Wagoner said today ,his defeat by Harry F. Kelly, Secretary of State, in Michigan's general election yester- day was "part of a national trend favoring Republican candidates." Van Wagoner asserted that, "If U.S. Senator Brown was defeated in yesterday's election, the rest of us Democratic candidates had little chance to win." Fighter Planes At Rest On US.

Reality Needed, McaluskySa ys Stressing the importance of a com- bination of realism and perspective, Prof. Howard McClusky, before a meeting of the Post-War Council last night, declared ,that in planning the peace we must use "a sense of grass roots reality." Addressing, the close followers of the. Council particularly, Professor McClusky warned them against be- coming a little cult on defense against' the rest of the campus. Just back from Washington, Pro-. fessor McClusky revealed that a plan is being considered by the OWI to offer adult educational programs on post-war issues. Professor McClusky also said that there is evidence to indicate that the soldiers themselves are preoccupied with war issues and added that he thought a clarification. of war aims would contribute much to the winning of the war. In his portion of the program, Pro- fessor Preston Slosson claimed that post-war planning is "an inescapable duty laid upon us." By BUD BRITUMMER "Tain't like it used to be 'round, here-them wimmin are gonna over- run the place 'fore long-don't we men have any rights?" Gobs of mild protests like these have been bantered about by many a student engineer lately, upon re- calling those days of yore when a girl in the engine school was about as rare as a snowball in a-a-ah Hades. And, from the strictly masculine viewpoint, the sad part of these com- mentaries is that they are grounded upon solid fact. At least that's what Bill Hamilton, hefty sophomore en- gineer and varsity swimmer who set up himself as an authority on the subject, said yesterday in an inter- view. Nowadays, it seems, somewhere be- tween 60 and 70 girls, varying in age from 18 to 52, are making the staid old hails of the College of Engineering Highlights On Campus .. . SRA Meeting Today "Place of the Student i Total War" will be the topic of the weekly Freshman Discussion Group, activity of the Student Religious Association, at 7:30 p.m. today at Lane Hall. 'The group will study the values of college education in wartime, at- teniptingto" decide whether those values justify their continued attend- ance. The discussion, led by a student chairman, is informal and is open to all freshmen. Hillel Forum Set Rev. John M. Miles of Detroit and Prof. Harold M. Dorr of the political science department will, discuss'the problem of the second front in a for- inn at the Hillel Foundation at 8:30 p:;n tomorrow. Rev. Miles will speak on "The Sec- ond Front Now," while Prof. Dorr will take the position that a second front should be established when the' military ~leaders 'decide the time is ripe. Rev. Miles is considered an expert on Negro problems 'and is widely known around Detroit for his-speeches and his work on the subject. Prof. Dorr is an expert on con'sti- tutional law and teaches a course in that subject in the political sci- ence department. He has spoken 'at Hillel at many times in the past on various sujects.

More than one reminiscent engi- neer has reported that up until this course began last January there was seldom more than a handful of girls even seen in the college, much less enrolled there. Don Granger, another, sophomore mechanical engineer who hails from Flint, recalled how last year there were only 10 girls enrolled in the whole engineering college. "Look at them now," he slashed out, protesting against what he termed a "downright invasion of the place." However, it's Col. H. W. Miller's office in the engineering drawing de- partment that has the answer to all questions concerning "them curls" in the engineers' sanctuary, for it is under the ordnance program super- vised by him that the whole thing began. When ordnance courses first star- ted last January, classes were com- pletely filled with men-not a skirt in sight. But after five of the 10-week training sections had been graduated, along came number six-the one in which women were first admitted. Since then the number of girls has been on a steady up-grade until in section 10 which began three weeks ago there were five solitary men left out of a group of 39 students. Most of the trainees come directly from high school and cite the draft as the obvious reason for the need of them as inspectors. When inter- viewed, Anna Zbercot of Detroit re- ported that she had been an inspector in a cigar factory before beginning ordnance training. And, when asked about what she thought of the boys in engine school, she evened the tally against Hamilton and Granger by insisting that "they're all terrible wolves! I like the fellows in Detroit!" And, Margaret Mesar, who came here from Tacoma Academy in Ta- coma Park, Md., emphatically backed up that statement but added "they're not bad looking." Mildred Wiesber- ger, 26-year-old former Detroit ste- nographer who said she undertook the course to "get in on the ground floor of defense work for women," would only comment, "they're sort of young." Her chief worry is "this bewildering slide rule." But, one of the best examples of the ordnance trainees is Mrs. Flor- ence Ludwick, who left her job in a Wyandotte department store to get in step with the war effort. After questioning she admitted that her son-in-law and brother are all in the Army and that her daughter and hus- band are engaged in defense produc- tion. Mrs. Ludwick said, "We women will now have to show the men what we can do. All the trainees can't wait to finish the course and get to work." Many other trainees have had two, three or more years of college, some having studied art, law, music, nurs- ing and radio. Trainees are given in- struction in mathematics, blue-print reading and sketching, materials of industry, manufacturing processes, and inspection practice. Colonel Miller reports that the pro- gram has suffered none by the influx of women inspectors. They are said to be excellent precision workers, and a few have even been known to have gotten all A's in this 40 hour a week course.

Election or no election former Michigan students serving in the armed forces are fighting for the life of their country, consistently earning promotions and doing things that serve our nation best. Today's news tells us that: Second Lieut. Edward A. McLo- gan from Flint is in training at Camp Wheeler, Ga. Lieut. McLogan graduated from the University in June after majoring in political science. He received his commission and entered the, infantry Oct. 8. While on campus, Lieut. McLogan was a Cadet Adjutant Major of the ROTC and president of Phi Kappa Psi. Second Lieut. David K. Easlick, who also graduated in June, was a Cadet Captain in the ROTC unit here. After entering the service in August, Lieut. Easlick went to Camp Wheeler and has just been transferred to Fort Benning, Ga. A geography major, he is the son of Dr. and Mrs. Kenneth Easlick of Ann Arbor. Lieut. Eas- lick is affiliated with Pi Kappa Psi. Corp. Julian Pregulman is now serving at the Fort Aberdeen Prov- ing Grounds in Maryland. He grad- uated in June and entered the ser- vice this September. Corp. Pregul- man majored in Business Adminis- tration and is a Sigma Alpha Mu. A well-known man on campus last year, Pvt. Burton Reubens, '42, enlis- 4 Former editor of the Law Review," Charles V. Beck has recently been promoted to the rank of sergeant at Tinker Field, Okla.-He is a gradu- ate of the University Law School and lives in Toledo, O. Sergt.

People ask us - "Isn't it possible to heat my whole house with electricity? Why not small heaters in every room, or an electric furnace in the basement?" In a nutshell, the answer is this: Electric heat is prac- tical in a SMALL SPACE (such as a bathroom) for a SHORT TIME' (one or two hours' use per day). But at present it is not economical for heating for long periods or for large rooms. And it is NOT an economical means of providing additional heat to raise the temperature from 65 to 70 degrees throughout your entire house. There are several reasons why this is so. First, electric heat is highly refined heat made from coal, and a great deal of heat is lost in the process. If you had 5 tons of coal to turn into electric heat, the heat of 4 tons of coal would be lost in the change-over, and the heat equivalent of only ONE TON would be delivered to your home. The most efficient electric power plants today can extract in the form of refined electric heat about 20 per cent of the heat originally in the coal. But if you burn the coal in your furnace, you can extract 50 to 60 per cent of its crude heat in useful warmth. Second, electricity must be made the instant it is being used and on cold days each home would require about 80 times as much as it uses normally. The extra power plant equipment to produce enough electricity to heat houses on a cold day would- be partly idle on a warmer day; and it would be completely idle all summer. But the expense would continue the year round, and to cover this all-year expense, the cost of electricity would be high All the above pertains to house heating. Elec- tricity is, of course, highly economical for steadier uses like water heating, cooking or other uses of refined heat requiring closer control.
