Held Tomorrow for
University Freshmen
The war will be the major topic
6f the panel discussion which will
rm an important part of the six-
teenth annual Principal-Freshman
Conference to be held tomorrow in
the Rackham Building and the

The discussion panel, led by Prof.

spry changes in policies of "Admis-
sion and Retention of College Fresh-
tien during This Wartime Emergen-

the afternoon in the Hussey Room of
the League.
The principal-freshman conferen-
ges themselves will be held from 8:30
a.m. to noon in the Rackham Buil-

semester's 750 freshman and transfer
abudents an opportunity to meet their
Individual high school principals and
juior college deans.
After the conferences President
Alexander G. Ruthven will welcome
the representatives of eighty-four
Wchigan, Indiana, Ohio, and Illinois
secondary schools and several Michi-
gan junior colleges at a luncheon in
the Michgan League Ballroom.
Attended by nearly all of the fresh-
men invited in past years, the princi-
pal-freshman conferences are de-
signed to aid new students with their
scholastic and environmental prob-
leins and to help the secondary
schools with future plans for pre-
paring students for entrance to the
University.
Begun in 1926, the conferences are
being copied this year by the Univer-
sity of California at Los Angeles de-
sPite transportational and other dif-
ficulties interposed by the war. The
UCLA conferences are the result of
the visit here last year of Harrison M.
Kerr, director of relations with
schools for the California institution.
Ensmian to Add
Sept. Graduates
Second semester juniors may still
be wondering what their status and
ctss really is, but they have a defi-
nite place in the campus world as far
a Michiganensian is concerned.
Juniors who graduate in September
will be given the opportunity to have
individual portraits in a special sec-
tion of the 'Ensian, according to the
newv policy announced yesterday. By
presenting their student identifica-
tion cards at the 'Ensian offices be-
fbre Saturday, December 5, juniors
who wish to have their portraits in
the yearbook, can buy a picture cou-
pon.These coupons may be presented
at the photographer's studio at the
time of appointment. 'Ensian editors
;urae students to make their appoint-
inents at once as there are very few
dates open.
As a special concession to second
semester juniors, 'Ensians will be sold
to them for last week's price. Realiz-
,4ng that many juniors who have not
already planned to buy an 'Ensian
may change their minds, now that it
UA their class book also, the staff has
ixtended the price for them. To sub-
scribe to the 'Ensian under this new
policy, second semester juniors must
purchase their picture coupon at the
same time. They will be sold in the
,Ensian offices.

CUTS OVERDUE:
Nov. Technic
Will Come Out
A Week Late
For want of a nail the battle was
lost, and similarly for want of two
small cuts of an acidizing process
the November Michigan Technic will
be delayed a week, Editor Bill Hutch-
erson, '43E, announced yesterday.
These cuts, Hutcherson said, were
due to arrive a week ago yesterday
from Battle Creek where they are
being processed, but they have been
held up due to a labor shortage. The
issue was originally scheduled to come
out last Monday.
Feature articles by four eminent
Michigan engineers, undergraduates
and alumni will be included in the
issue in addition to "Authorbiogra-
phies" and the regular sections, Tech-
nic Reflects, Explores and Presents.
Editor Hutcherson promises, how-
ever, that the delay in publication will
not diminish the popular interest of
Blaine Newman's lead article on "Po-
laroid." The second feature story will
be "Acid Control of Oil Flow" by John
G. Standt, '31E, while "Cooperation-
Production-Aircraft" by Jack \ T.
Gray, '39E, and "Theory of Limit De-
sign" by Robert Hay, '43E, are the
other main articles.
The big first of the November Tech-
nic will be the problem in ethics for
which the magazine will offer a spe-
cial five-dollar prize to the engineer
submitting the best solution. All an-
swers to the ethics problem will be
submitted to a special committee on
Ethics which is chairmaned by Prof.
Donald L. Katz.
Ancient Manuscript
Will lBe Topic for
French Talk Today
Professor Eugene Rovillain will
open the French lecture series today
at 4:15 in Room D Alumni Memorial
Hall with his lecture entitled "Un
Concours Academique Francais sur
Amerique au XVIIIe Siecle."
The lecture will be based on sixteen
manuscripts, believed lost, which were
found by Professor Rovillain in the
archives of the French Academy and
the Academy of Lyons.
In 1780 there was an announcement
of a prize to be given by the Academy
of Lyons on the subject, "Has the
discovery of America been useful or
armful to mankind?" Later on, in
1789, the French Academy offered a
prize on the same subject.
In answer, these sixteen 18th cen-
tury manuscripts found by Professor
Rovillain declare that the discovery
of America has been harmful to man-
kind and that the only redeeming fac-
tor has been the revolt of the English
colonies which have been a refuge
against religious persecutions and
have been instrumental in the de-
struction of traditional prejudices. It
is to the newly created United States
that the world owed the practical
proclamation of justice, of humanity,
of tolerance and of liberty.
Four of the manuscripts prophesy
and see Europe in ruins saved from
itself by the United States where
culture; industries, sciences and civi-
lization will have taken refuge.
Tickets for the seven lectures may
be bought in Room 112 Romance
Language Building or at the door of
the lecture.

versity.
