The forum will be held during 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- ding and will provide many of this semester's 750 freshman and transfer abudents an opportunity to meet their Individual high school principals and juior college deans.

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.
