IMMIGRANT SEEKS MELTING POT:
Author Louis Adamic to Speak
as Third Oratorical Lecturer

l #Ueigan Iten at Wap

ASME Will See Arc Welding Tomorrow

A 15-cent investment will reward
some engineer with five dollars when
the ethics question featured in the
November Michigan Technic is. an-
swered after the magazine goes on
sale tomorrow in the lobby of the
East Engineering Building above the
arch.,
Held up by printing difficulties
and delays with cuts, the new Tech-
nic will appear featuring for the first
time a contest on an ethics question.
The solutions to the problem must
be submitted to a special committee
chairmanned by Prof. Donald L. Katz.
First scheduled to be released two
weeks ago Monday, the Technic will
include an article by Blaine Newman
on "Polaroid." Also featured are
articles on "Acid Control of Oil
Flow," "Cooperation- Production-
Aircraft," and "Theory of Limit De-
sign," written by John G. Standt,
'31E, Jack T. Gray, '39F, and Robert
Kay, '43E.

Louis Adamic, author of "The Na-
tive's Return" and "My America"
and at present Consultant for the
Defense Commission in Washington
as an expert on new-immigrant and
related matters, will speak here Mon-
day in the third Oratorical Associa-
tion lecture.
Adamic is now engaged in writing
a series of five books, the aim of
which is to end the "psychological
war" in America. The first of these,
"From Many Lands," won the $1,000
Anisfield Prize for 1940 and the sec-
ond has just been published under
the title "Plymouth Rock and Ellis
Island."
Believing that many of us, espe-
cially some of those whose families
I have known for two centuries or
more the privileges of citizenship in
this country, have forgotten the
American dream, he wants to re-
awaken in us the same sense of de-
mocracy which guided the first pion-
eers.
The basis of what Adamic has
termed America's "psychological
war," which he says was going on
long before Nazism became a threat

to this country, is simply that the
"melting pot" isn't doing enough
melting.
"Today," he says, "the melting pot
is used to fry the good out of a lot
of people in it. The possession of the
name Starziniski instead of Hamilton
and an inherited taste for pigs'
knuckles rather than prime ribs of
beef, is a source of a feeling of in-
feriority that millions suffer," he
states.
He believes, and points out in his
books, that America's social and ra-
cial tensions must be eased if Amer-
ica's defense effort is to be total.
Now is the time, he believes, to make
the best of this opportunity to weld
together all groups and all races
and to create a new national solid-
arity.
To obtain material for his five-
book series, he and his assistants have
traveled over 100,000 miles, distrib-
uted 250,000 questionnaires and writ-
ten about 20,000 letters. His thesis
is simply this-that the concept of
Americanism be broadened to in-
clude the non-Anglo-Saxon Ameri-
cans who comprise roughly one-third
of the nation and who have contrib-
uted so much to the development of
this nation.
To aid him in collecting data on
the contributions to American life of
various racial and foreign groups,
especiallysthose that have comehhere
in the past 100 years, he now has a
staff of workers traveling over the
entire country. The material which
they uncover he uses in his books
and in the magazine "Common
Ground," which he edits and which
is published by the Common Coun-
cil for American Unity.
Adamic believes, and in his dis-
cussion here will show, how the pres-
ent crisis can be turned to solidifying
and uniting this country rather than
dividing and breaking it up as the
Nazi propagandists have boasted that
it would.

University from 1934 to 1938, took

An educational feature, "The In-
side of Arc Welding" will be shownl
7:30 p.m. tomorrow in 318 Union toI
the student branch of American So-
ciety, of Mechanical Engineers.
This 60-minute sound picture illus-
trates by full color animated charts

and drawings what actually happens
inside the arc and molten pool. De-
signed to show the correct procedure
for welding and how bad welds are
made this open meeting is of spe-
cial interest to all engineers enrolled
in welding courses.

DAILY OFFICIAL
BULLETIN
TUESDAY, NOV. 24, 1942
VOL. LIII No. 44
All notices for the Daily Official Bul-
letin are to be sent to the Office of the
President in typewritten form by 3:30
p.m. of the day preceding its publica-
tion, except on Saturday when the no-
tices should be submitted by 11:30 a.m.
Notices
Will all members of the staff trav-
eling on University business please
notify all ticket agents that the tick-
et to be purchased is exempt from
the tax imposed by the Revenue Act'
of 1941. Do not wait until the tick-
et has been stamped before giving
this information as it then neces-
sitates the invalidating of the first
ticket. This notice grows out of the
large proportion of cases where, in
the past, time and a ticket form
have been wasted by not specifying
in the first place that the ticket
wanted is to be tax exempt.
