Slight Reduction Last month, almost on the anniversary of the formal authorization, the Secretary of War re-emphasized the objective in conjunction with an an- nouncement stating that a slight reduction will be effected next spring in the alloted quota of trainees in the ASTP. e pointed out that the number of soldiers in the program will depend in the future, as in the past, on the actual needs of the arms and services. nicians to a variety of Signal Corps In this connection the Secretary of duties.

Rogers Praises Work of Graduates In Speed-Up Program Forty-five members of Companies 3-1, E and F, held graduation exer- ises in Rackham Memorial Hall on Puesday afternoon and were present- d with graduation diplomas by Prof. .larence F. Kessler, of the depart- nent of mechanical engineering. The graduates had completed ourses in civil, mechanical, or sani- ary engineering. Those completing ivil engineering are now eligible for wo additional semesters in sanitary ngineering. The exercises were opened with a ,hort prayer by Dr. Yoder, chaplain A Co. E. Dean Ivan C. Crawford, lean of the Engineering College and % former colonel in the Army, ad- Iressed the men and pointed out the alue of having a specialized educa- ion both in the Army and later in ivlian life. He told the men that he work they had done here consti- uted the major4y of that needed for 3 degree. Dean Alfred H. Lovell, Engineering College, then presented Col. Frederick C. Rogers, commandant of S.U. 3651, who complimented the graduates on the splendid job they had done under the speeded-up program. He warned the men against expecting too much immediately after leaving here for their next post. Rev. Muller, Co. B chaplain, closed the ceremony with a benediction. Ann Arbor Girls Apply for Parts In Co. C Musical About 35 Ann Arbor girls tried out for parts in Co. C's musical, "Bidin' Our Time" when casting was held yesterday in the USO ,ballroom. The auditioners ranged from girls with a great deal of singing and dancing experience to others with no previous experience. Men from Co. C were auditioned for the male roles, which have not yet been cast. Cpl. Troy R. Bartlett, composer and arranger of the show's *music, Cpl. Hy Wolotsky, production man- ager, and Pfc. Chester H. Sargent, vocal director, will select the cast this week-end. It will be announced on Monday. Rehearsals To Begin Rehearsals for the show will begin in a few days, it was announced yes- terday by Cpl. Wolotsky, who has been revising the script to meet with suggestions made by the Committee on Theatre Policy and Practice. The script for the show, as well as all the music, has been written en- tirely by men from Co. C. Eight songs have been especially written for the show. Three of these were introduced at Co. C's pre-Christmas dance. Ranging from boogie-woogie to light opera, the music has been composed by Cpl. Bartlett to the lyrics written by Cpl. Wolotsky. The show will be given on Feb. 25 and 26. Sophs Lead Company G In War Bond Purchases Medical sophomores are leading all other units of Co. G in bond pur- chases for the Fourth War Loan. Meanwhile the company's total to- day stood near $1,500. Sophomores have already sub- scribed more than $600. Medical freshmen are second with $350, and medical seniors third with $225. d We Siry r it Msic, Too Ordnance Department: Chemists and chemical engineers to various technical duties.

Today, more than 260 of our colleges are training thousands of specialists needed by the armed forces. The typical campus has been reconverted by the men in khaki.

At least, Prosecutor Francis Kamman announc- ed that the statute regard- ing liquor registration cards would be rigidly enforced here. The question re- mained, however, as to just how the law will be en- forced. 'U' COEDS were asked last week to assist in OPA surveys in Ann Arbor. The Women's War Council im- mediately made the work one of its projects. Girls were assured that the work was all "on the up and up," they were just to ask local merchants what their prices were. k Q- *$ INTERFRATERNITY Ball was held last night in the League.

In bas- ketball Wisconsin took its second straight win over the Wolverines by the count of 42 to 31. Forward Dave Strack sparked Mich- igan, scoring 11 points, but' high scorer of the game was Ray Patterson, rangy Badger center, who tallied 16, raising his total to 35. Star of the game for Wis- consin, however, was guard Russ Wenland who stood out in the second half by holding Tom King well in check while scoing 11 points himself. The Wol- By CULVER JONES Some of the future doctors of Co. G are learning the patient's point of view these days. And the education- is strictly G.I., too-university brand. A patient smokes so many big, black cigars that the nicotine makes him sick. How does he feel? A couple of medical sophomores smoked sev- eral the other day to find out, and they know now that the guy is really sick. Another patient has had too much alcohol. How does he react? There's one scientific way to find out-take the stuff. So that is what another couple did. One of them has taken the pledge. New Lab Course results in the case of the alcohol im- bibers. For while both claimed little previous experience, one was com- pletely unaffected by a double dose, while the other lost all co-ordination on a single trial. And Pfc. John Boyd, who took scopalamine, discovered no interest in the truth but merely a de- sire to beat up his best friends in the class. All of which proves what most doctors have to learn by experience -that the same drug has different effects on different people. Research Conducted Every student this year is also working on his own research prob- lem. Some of these have been to use drugs to produce different diseases. Experimental diseases are a failure. But some members of Co. G have been able to produce kidney disease, anemia, and liver cirrhosis. And having produced it, they next learn how to treat it. Rev. Lemon To Discuss Freud, Jung Wednesday Three modern philosophers - Companty&B4 Every company has its officers and its enlisted men, but rare is the com- pany that can boast of not one, but two, geniuses. Life in B-4 is enjoy- able these days chiefly because of the few abnormals running loose. Cadet William "Hot Stuff" Mueller is an undisputed genius. He is known particularly for having memorized the log tables. "My accomplishment is of so trivial a nature that I am astonished to find it has aroused comment among myk fellows. Remember, it was only the four - place logarithm table," said Cadet Mueller. "I am trying hard to learn the seven-place table in my spare time." Everyone knows that C/1st Sgt. Tom Janusy is a genius, too. But he has a military rather than a strictly mathematical mind. He said to a re- porter the other day, "Ike and I have it pretty well figured out, and the war is progressing exactly as we plan- ned it." The characteristics that make Jan- usy a good (is it possible?) Sgt. are his strong lungs and his good, clear voice. When he yells commands, the sound of his voice causes confusion in platoons three or four blocks away. But even Sgt. Janusy has a fault- his sense of humor, or lack of one.
