Tibbetts Directs
War Training
Clark Tibbitts, director of the Uni-
versity War Board, was given a new
job by the Board of Regents on Jan.
29-that of Assistant Director of the
Division for Emergency Training.
Retaining his job as War Board
head, Tibbitts will be at the center
of specialized training programs giv-
en by the University. The War Board
will act as planning agency for the
changes to come and the Division for
Emergency Training will put them
into effect.
Tibbitts will also be an ex officio
member of the Division's Executive
Committee. It is composed of Prof.
Marvin Niehuss, ex officio member
and director of the Division, Profs.
Arthur Van Duren, Burton Thuma
and Robert H. Sherlock.
Beginning his work with the War
Board as non-member Secretary when
it was founded in 1941, Tibbitts was
appointed to the directorship left
vacant by Prof. Harlow Henneman,
who was called to Washington. Since
then Tibbitts has carried the war ac-
tivities of the University through the
great changes of the last year.
Administrators
To Be Trained
By University
Government administrators will be
trained in an intensive program that
began yesterday in the Division for
Emergency Training.
Courses in economics, political sci-
ence and business administration, de-
signed to quickly help fill an acute
shortage of administrators, will com-
prise the new program. Prof. Marvin
L. Niehuss, director of the Division,
said yesterday that juniors and sen-
iors who complete 15 hours in the
program probably will qualify for
government service.
Students with fewer than 60 hours
credit and individuals not enrolled in
the University but with experience
in the field will be admitted at the
discretion of the instructor. The
training will be headed by Prof. Rob-
ert S. Ford, director of the Bureau
of Government.
Students will take public adminis-
tration, office practice and manage-
ment, war economics and statistics
or accounting. Fifteen hours of work
must be selected from 21 offered
courses.
On completion of the program a
certificate of achievement will be
awarded and academic credit may be
arranged.
