THE MICHIGAN DAILY SAT *J1AT, . DEC.U1291f42 .,; +v it .. M.,. ,:.:.: w:. .. ... .:; :: , .. :. . . : i THEY ALSO SERVE: Girls Eligile for Bomber Scholarships WAACS, WAVES, SPARS and all University women serving in the armed forces are just as eligible as Ien for Bomber Scholarships after the war, Coral De Priester, '43E, chairman of the Bomber Scholarship student committee said yesterday. The constitution of the Bomber Scholarship specifies that any stu- . dent who leaves school to enter the "armed forces of the United States" and who returns after the war to ,,graduate may receive one of these scholarships. By the term "armed forces," according to the rules of the constitution, "any department or di- vision of the United States Army, Navy, Air Corps or Marines" is meant. Thus any woman who leaves the University to join the WAACS, the WAVES, or the SPARS which are di- visions of the Army and Navy, is en- tering the armed forces of the na- tion, and is eligible to receive a scho- larship if she returns after the war. :Making the application entirely clear, the constitution also specifies as one purpose of the Bomber Scho- larship, that "it will provide a means by which needy student ex-service men and women may return to the University and continue their studies after having offered their lives to preserve American Democracy." De Priester said : "I'm glad that the point is cleared up. The women really deserve it. They've been getting be- hind our drive for a $15,000 goal this year and giving it just as big a push as the men have." "The Victory dances at the League eah week-end," continued De Pries- te;, "are only one instance of how the women have been supporting our campaign. I hope they keep it up."

Bietila, well known on campus in 1935 for his ability with skis, was recently awarded the "Navy Wings of Gold" and commissioned an ensign in the U.S. Naval Reserve. He received his commission at the Naval Air Training Center in Corpus Christi, Tex. One of the five famous skiing bro- thers of Ishpeming, Mich., Bietila starred in meets in Wisconsin, Min" nesota and Michigan while a student here and was named to the United States Olympic ski teamr in Oct., 1935 when he was a sophomore. Bietila taught his brother, Paul, how to jump, and Paul ,went .on to win the intercollegiate championship while a student at the University of Wisconsin and was named on .the 1940 Olympic team. He also won his baseball numerals in 1935 and was treasurer of the Lutheran Student Club in '36 and '37. He volunteered for flight training in Feb., 1942 and received preliminary instruction at the U.S, Naval Reserve Aviation Base, Glenview, Tex. Upon successful completion of this training he was transferred to Corpus Christi. for intermediate and advanced train- ing. * * * Private J. Arthos, that's right, he was an instructor in the English de- partment last year, is now receiving his basic training at Camp Wolters, Tex. He writes the English Depart- ment Newsletter that he has just completed the bayonet course. Says Private Weimer, also an ex-English instructor: "We've had a good deal of bayonet practice (which I like) and hand-grenade throwing (which I don't like very much, be- cause, so far, the form you are obliged to use seems unnecessarily con- strained), close order drill, extended order drill, and of course the manual of arms. There is a lot to learn, but I shall sooner or later manage to find some free time, I hope .. IT'S ALL VERY COMPLICATED: ......... Campus Purchasing Agent Has Those Priority Number Blues Engine Women Spotlighted M New Technic Huge Issue Scheduled to Appear Tuesday; Five Articles Featured The Michigan Technic appearing this Tuesday salutes the engine school's ordnance women with an article on "Women in Science" by Alice C. Goff. Well qualified to write in the field, Miss Goff is one of the five women to graduate from the University with a degree in civil engineering. She has worked as checker and squad leader over a group of men in a steel com- pany, and has designed buildings of reinforced concrete here and espec- ially for the earthquaky climate of Venezuela. Her article should be of interest to everyone according to Len Anderson, '45E, publicity director of the Technic, but should especially ap- peal to those women taking courses in the engine school now in prepara- tion for war work. Four other feature articles are scheduled for this 40-page issue, the first to come out under Keith Smith, '43E, new editor-in-chief. Mr. R. G. Freeman, research man in charge of the course development program in tool-engineering at the General Mo- tors Institute in Detroit discusses the economic aspects of his field in a story entitled "Production. Engineer- "Synthetic Rubber" by Don O'Neill, '43E, "Electro-Chemical Industries" by Paul Kennedy, '44E, and E. Aik- en's "Glass" complete the list of at- tractions. Besides the regular sections, read- ers will find the new "Ethics" depart- ment begun last month present again, and again offering $5 for the best solution to its second problem. Be A Goodfellow Lieut. Demorest Killed in Greenland The War Department yesterday disclosed that Lieut. Max Demorest, '34, met an accidental death while performing his duties on the inland ice of Greenland. Lieut. Demorest, who was a promi- nent authority on glaciers, was riding his motorsledge when it fell into a crevice in'the glacier, the War De- paremtn report stated. He served as an assistant in the geology department while he was a studept here and went on two of the University's expeditions to Greenland in 1930 and 1932. His studies centered around the physics of glacier ice, and upon entering the Army last summer he held a $3,000 Guggenheim Fellow- ship for continuation of these re- searches.

Since then, he has worked as a Physi- cal Education Instructor with Oscar Toiko, former prime minister of Fin- land, at the Finnish Community Cen- ter. PHI KAPPA PHI: Thuma Says Liberal Arts to Continue The Arts school is not going to close its doors and liberal education is as necessary in wartime as in peace time, Prof. B. D. Thuma, chairman of the War Information Committee, said last night at the semi-annual initiation banquet of Phi Kappa Phi. Professor Thuma's main assump- tion was that it was our duty to do all in our power to contribute effic- iently to the winning of the war. He said that the housewife who is hoard- ing food is merely assenting to the assumption rather than supporting it and believing in it. "Emotions must not interfere with reason-thus while admirable mo- tives might lead some student from continued study in a specialized field to immediate work in a factory, the final effect is wasteful. The college student presumably rating above the average in intelligence should train for jobs where intelligence is most useful, rather than on the develop- ment of purely mechanical skills." He said that it has been the fail- ure of people to realize where they would be most valuable and that the War Manpower Commission has be- come a necessity. Professor Thuma outlined the con- tributions of different classes of stu- dents. He concluded by saying that we must combat the present tendency to regard technical training as the only necessity for prosecuting the war effort and we must preserve lib- eral education. By BUD BRIMMER Don't let them confuse you, Adolf! P-43's, or double-A-5's, or even PD-1-A's aren't the new U.S. super-bombers or pursuit planes that zoom through your nightmares. And, even the double-A-2-X will never get to cause you half as much trouble as it's causing J. F. Shears, the University's assistant purchasing agent. You see, Adolf, these are only the numbers of government priorities. As Shears explains it, the University has to secure them in order to expand its plant facilities and to get supplies to continue its essential war work for the Army, the Navy, the air corps, the surgeon-general of the U.S. Ar- my, the Office of Scientific Research' and Development, and several large industrial concerns. Shears' job happens to be filling out the University's priority appli- cations, amassing the great amount of information that goes into them, and then keeping his fingers crossed in hopes that his work will get a government "o.k." Shears explained in an interview yesterday that although the Univer- sity falls in a bracket of war work that allows $1,000 worth of work to be done in a 12-month period on any building, the materials to do even this amount of work are so scarce that they've got to be secured with priority assistance. The exact amount of nails and screws, the number of pipe joints, the amount of plumbing and elec- trical materials, the exact board feet of lumber, its dollar cost and several other items must all be calculated by Shears for Uncle Sam before the ap- plications are, complete. One of the major difficulties, he said, is that by the time a priority is finally secured-it takes about two months-and after the critical ma- warehouse or distributor's, the Pri- ority ratings have changed, new re-: strictive orders halting deliveries have been issued, and then the ef- forts to get an amended rating must be started all over again. Shears, in explaining the "prior- ities run-around,"said that the Uni- versity falls in the class of educa- tional institutions which must send any request for. building construc- tion to the War Production Board The WPB then refers it to the U.S. Office of Education which sends the applications to its regional ; office This office then sends out a special investigator who in turn reports back to the Washington office on the proj- ect. The latter one reports back to the WPB which finally either okays or turns down the University's appli- cation. In deciphering the priority num- bers, he disclosed that the University has a blanket priority, the P-100; which carries an A-1D rating ' andt can be used to secure materials need- ed for repair and maintenance of the equipment and buildings.. However, he said, this priority is now too low and an AA-5 must be had in order to get steel deliveries. While the P-43 is a blanket order to facilitate getting materials for re- search and production control in the public interest and to promote the war, the University AA-2-X is a higher which is limited in that the value of any item or quantity of ma- terial can't exceed $50. If it does, Shears must then reapply to Wash- ington and again state the Univer- sity's needs. "It's all very complicated," he fi- nally admitted. I 7CIS l1 Jt ow r , , . a r.
