Ikgens Authorize Four-Term Program for Forestry Students- More Provisions to Speed Up Education Made. by Board; Gifts Totalling $17,416 Are Accepted The Board of Regents, meeting Dec. 18, made more speed-ups in educa- tion, confirmed appointments and leaVes-of-absence and accepted gifts totalling $17,416.27. A Regential resolution authorized the School of Forestry and Conserva- tion to prepare a new four-term pro- gram for students entering from high school. Instruction in elementary forestry as well as in certain basic subjects will be given. The new short program-not af- fecting , existing degree programs- will help qualify men as officers in. forest regiments, engineering units, field artillery and infantry, train men for important industrial jobs and pro- vide a basis for further training. The School of Business Administra- tion-opening its doors to women for the first time--will give a two-term course to fit them for business posi- tions in essential civilian industry. The standards will be maintained at the present level so that further training may be taken when the war is over. Transfer of students from one col- lege or school to another because of the war emergency was expedited by a new ruling on transfer credits. Courses taken in the first unit will be recorded in the second as elec- tive or equivalent of electives and as substitutes for required courses where prerequisite studies will not be lack- ing. However, this ruling will not re- move legal requirements or school requirements governing the granting of degrees. Presumably this proviso will have application in the profes- sional schools. Prof. Hdward B. Calderwood of the political science department was ap- pointed part-time director of the' graduate program in the internation- al studies and administration which was recently announced. The course, lasting from 8 to 12 months, will train selected students in the rehabilitation and administration of military areas which may be occupied in the future..

Contract Rates on Request Majestic Ends Association in Theatre Circut Interest of the Butterfield theatre circuit in the old Majestic Theatre when Gerald M. Hoag, representing I the corporation, will hand over the keys of the building to one of its own- ers, Mrs. Laura Atkinson. The act will symbolize the ending of Butterfield's lease on the house and will leave its, owners free to dis- pose of it in whatever manner they see fit. Closed since March, the house was succeeded by a new theatre on State Street and has been the object of a campaign to have its several tons of unused metal fixtures donated to the scrap drive. It was recently con- demned by George C. Maulbetsch, city building inspector, as a fire trap. The fate of the 'Maj' will partly depend upon the wording of a new revision of the city fire ordinance to be introduced before the Common Council at its meeting next Monday.. Soldiers Drown Troubles in Milk Survey Finds Hard Liquor No Problem WASHINGTON, Dec. 30. - R) - Dear Mom: The best selling beverages around Army camps are coffee, milk, malted milk and bottled soft drinks. The Office of War Information said so today. Elmer Davis' investigators traveled 12,000 miles in a coast-to- coast investigation "to provide the American people withthonest and ac- curate information about the millions of men who are doing their patriotic duty in the armed services." OWI conclusions: The present Army "may or may not be the best in the history of armies but it is certainly the best behaved." There is not excessive drinking among troops, and drink does not constitute a serious problem. The sale of 3.2 beer in Army camps is a "healthy and sensible arrange- ment," and the fact there is "vastly less drinking among soldiers in this war than in the last war" may stem in part from the sale of beer in camps. Commanding officers said consid- erably more than half their troops drank nothing stronger than beer by choice, and that many abstained even from beer. Chaplains, with one ex- ception, shared this opinion. TruckLoses Load of Steel on Highway Hexagonal steel bars were-scattered along US-112- between Ypsilanti and Middle Belt Road yesterday morning when a freight-carrying truck lost an estimated six tons of steel. The driver of the truck. Clarence D. James, of Jackson, was unaware of the loss of his load until Patrolman Arthur Kramer of the Ypsilanti police departmpnt followed the truck and informed him. Several minutes after the truck had been stopped another truck dfriver appeared and told the driver and Patrolman Kramer that he had seen the' stell dropping off the truck for several miles but had not been able to overtake James. NO SUBSCRIBERS WANTED! CAIRO, Ga., Dec. 30.-(P)-Here is a newspaper which-because of the war-wants no new subscribers in 1943. Anticipating a reduction in the amount of newsprint publishers can buy, the Cairo Messenger, a weekly, told its subscribers in a front page announcement it would not accept new subscriptions in 1943. "We have a war to win," wrote Edi- tor H. H. Wind, "and we are going to do our part, even if we have to reduce the size of the paper and stop accepting subscriptions." The Messenger has a circulation of 2,000. L. B. REID, a former civil engineer in Ann Arbor was appointed yesterday as State Highway Commissioner to succeed. G. Donald Kennedy. *,* * . Van Wagoner Appoints 'Lloyd Reid New Highway Commissioner Kennedy Resigns for Federal Post; Act Marks End of 'Pat-Don' Combine in Michigan Politics LANSING, Dec. 30.-V)-The State Elections Study Commission today described the "secret," or multiple primary ballot as "an unmitigated nuisance," but failed to suggest any substitute. The.Commission, appointed to rec- ommend to the Legislature changes in the Michigan election system, pro- posed that the "secret" primary bal- lot, first adopted in 1937, be dropped. Members, however, said they could not agree on another form of primary. The system of giving every voter a' separate ballot for each party rep- resented at a primary election and allowing him to cast his choice in se- cret was described in the commis- sion's report as expensive and con- fusing. The Commission proposed four constitutional amendments to the election laws. One of these would permit division of cities and townships into legisla- tive districts,"'a move designed to halt the election of 17 Wayne County rep- resentatives at large from a "bed sheet" ballot containing long lists of names of candidates. The Commission proposed also to eliminate the constitutional offices of township commissioner of high- ways and township overseer of high- ways, on grounds both positions were outdated, and to transfer their duties to state and country road commis- sioners or to the township clerk. It proposed that township officials be elected for two year terms. The Commission proposed to forbid insane persons the right to vote, Michigan being the only state lack- ing such a law, and suggested clari- fication of the constitution to permit either husbands or wives of property owners to vote on bond issues. The commission proposed the ap- pointment of a state board of elec- tion commissioners, to be composed of two Republicans and two Demo- crats appointed by the governor and presided over by the Secretary of State. The system of permanent registra- tions now in mandatory effect in communities of more than 5,000 pop- ulation would be extended to the entire state, under another commis- sion proposal. Emphatically, the commission rec- ommended elimination of the"per- nicious" Michigan method of per- mitting registrations to be sworn in at the polls on election day, asserting such a method was open to"chic- anery." Also, the Commission proposed to clarify statutes to validate ballot markings which clearly show the intent of the voter. Another clarifi- cation would validate. ballots inad- vertently deposited without the elec- tion inspector's initials; Athird would define the powers and rights of clial- lengers. e porl Housin Ready for 4,000 Willow Run's threatening housing shortage is not now as serious as authorities anticipated, State' Hous- ing Administrator Raymond M. Foley told the State Defense Council yes- terday. Mushrooming federal housing units around the huge bomber plant have accommodated the swelling number of migrating munitions workers, .the Administrator said. Despite setbacks and delays in the publicly-financed building program 3,000dormitories and 1,000 temporary apartments should be ready for occu- pancy next month in the Willow Run district, Foley predicted. Twenty-eight thousand privately- built family units either, are in use or under construction in the Detroit- Ypsilanti area, he revealed, and 8,000 additional units soon will be started by private contractors. Not until next summer will critical housing conditions at Willow Run, Mukegon and Adrian reach their peak, according to Foley. Named State Highway:Commissioner CALLED 'UNMITIGATED NUISANCE" Drop Long Primary Ballot, Says 'State Commission's Report LANSING, Dec. 30.-MP)-G. Don- ald Kennedy resigned today as State Highway Commissioner to take a job in Washington, officially breaking up the team of "Pat (Governor Van Wagoner) and Don" which has ruled the Democratic roost in Michigan for years.0 Governor Van Wagoner, who him- self will leave office Friday to make way for the Republican gubernatorial victor, Harry F. Kelly, as one of his last official acts appointed Lloyd B. (Dutch) Reid, Deputy Highway Com- missioner, to succeed Kennedy. Reid took his oath of office a few hours later and filed it promptly with the, Department of State lest. some' slip-up allow the incoming governor the ;opportunity to. place a Republi- can -at head of the Highway Depart-' meat, which has won fame in Michi gan as the key of one of the most potent Democratic political organi zations this state has seen in action. Kennedy will become Vice Presi- dent for Highway Transportation of the Automotive Safety Foundation, effective New Year's Day, the day Law Review Features Article by Prof. Kauper Featured in the December issue of the Michigan Law Review are articles on the new federal tax act, the sabo teur case and the curfew regulations as applied to American citizens of Japanese ancestry. Prof. Paul G. Kauper, now on leave with the legal department of the Pan American Petroleum and Transport Company of New York City, discusses the estate and gift tax provisions of the. 1942 Federal Revenue in this issue of the Review. BACK TO GOOD OLD DAYS DOYLESTOWN, Pa., Dec. 30.--P) -Bucks County boys and girls are going to do what Dad says he did. Announcing curtailment of school bus service, the County Board of Edu cation ruled that children who live less than two miles from school or less than a mile and a half from a. trunk busline will have to hoof it in the future. Some of the buses will be used to carry war workers to their jobs. Van Wagoner leaves office. The gov- ernor has not yet made public his own plans, but is expected to take a job in private enterprise, rather than the still-unidentified job which he said has been offered him by a federal agency. The new highway commissioner' is a quiet-spoken man, portly of figure, whom both Republicans and Demo- crats describe as "not a poitician." Some sources said this circumstance would enhance, rather than detract from, his power to get along with a Republican - dominated incoming state administartion and ,the Legisla- ture. He declined to say whether he would seek election to the post in the 1943 spring election. Reid is. 41 years old and, the. father of: a . family. Mrs. Reid witnessed the simpe, swearing-in, before Associate Justice Raymond W. Starr of the State Supreme Court in the executive office. Prof. Briggs, Aids In Battle against In fbtion Now $829,332,800 is a lot of money, but it's ony part of the sum that a: University professor is helping to save for Uncle Sam Prof. Robert P. Briggs, now.on leave from the School of Business Adminis- tration and serving as Chief of the General Office Division of the De- troit Ordnance District, is one of the key men, in the government's drive against inflation. TheWar Department recenty an- nounced that. Professor Briggs' di- vision has saved over eight million dollars in the past seven monthsand is expected to top the billion dollar figure by January 1, 1943. The General Office Division is re- sponsible for renegotiating the War Department's contracts in cases where manufacturers charge -exces- sive prices for essential materials.
