Society Is
Cultural and
Social Center
Providing Latin American students
on campus with a social and cultural
center, and aiming to establish closer
relations with North American uni-
versity people, the Latin American
Society serves a valuable function on
the campus.
The society is composed of uni-
versity students born or now living in
Latin American countries.
Presents Culture
Following its aim to establish
closer relations with North American
university people, the Society pre-
sents to them the various aspects of
the life and culture of their neigh-
bors to the south. The aim of the So-
ciety is to be accurate in its presen-
tation of Latin America. The bad is
presented with the good.
In the last two years, more than 20
outstanding lectures offered under
the auspices of the Society have been
given by Latin Americans who have
finished their university work in the
educational institutions of South
America. Discussion followed each
lecture, led by different members of
the University faculty.
The lecture series was organized
and planned by Dr. Esson M. Gale,
director of the International Center
and Prof. Julio del Toro of the Ro-
mance Language department.
Social Activities
The social activities of the Society,
attended by a large number of North
American students and faculty mem-
bers, have tended to create better un-
derstanding and friendship among
the many peoples of the western
hemisphere.
This year's officers of the Latin
American Society are Gilberto Pes-
quera of Porto Rico, president; Au-
gusto Malabet of Colombia, treas-
urer; and Prof. del Toro of the Ro-
mance Language department, sec-
retary.

Annual Conference To
Be Attended by 350
More than 350 ministers represent-
ing Churches throughout Michigan
are expected to attend the annual
Pastors' Conference to be held Jan.
21-23 on the University campus.
Sponsored by the University Ex-
tension Service and the Michigan
Council of Churches and Christian
Education, the conference will be
highlighted by a series of four lec-
tures by Dr. Paul J. Tilliech.
Forums will be held on the follow-
ing topics: "Education Programs of
the Church," "The Evangelistic Pro-
gram of the Church" and "Social
Action Program of the Church."
"Scientists, in general, have ex-
pressed themselves as being opposed
to secrecy that will develop ill-will
among nations" Dr. E. F. Barker,
nead of the physics department,
stated in a recent interview.
He explained that the scientists
"do not believe that we can prevent

Moved To Math
Dr. L. V. Torbalballa of the Uni-
versity of the Philippines has been
tranferred from the University's
Army training program to a new po-
sition as instructor in the math de-
partment.
Dr. Torbalballa, who completed his
undergraduate educationin his na-
tive Philippines, received his doc-
tor's degree at Michigan in 1941. He
has been associated with the Philip-
pine government insurance system,
Michigan State College, the army
training program and Princeton's
Institute of Advanced Study.
other nations from manufacturing
weapons similar to ours within a rel-
atively short time."
Dr. Barker emphasized America's
dependence on fission, the type of ex-
plosion inherent in atoms, in her de-
velopment of the atomic bomb. In-
formation defining fission was pub-
lished widely in Germany in 1939;
therefore, other nations have access
to the knowledge which formed the
very foundation for our experi-
ments.
The Atomic Scientists of Chicago
repeated Dr. Barker's warning when
they declared, "The greatest secret
in connection with the atomic bomb
was the fact that it was possible to
develop it successfully. Other coun-
tries should be able to produce
atomic bombs in two to five years."
Dr. Barker expiained, "Many sci-
entists would have been relieved if
they could have proved that this
weapon was impossible to produce.
Science wants to bring knowledge,
not annihilation, to mankind."

THERE ARE MORE RUSH-TIMES
.'f"wR R O EON LONG DISTANCE
There are many more Long Dis-
tance calls than last year and
more rush-time peaks. One big
reason is the calls of returning
r5 veterans.
Unfortunately we're still
short of circuits to many places.
The big job expanding the Long
Distance network is being
pushed ahead as fast as pos-
sible, but it will take time.
So right now, it's as impor-
tant as ever to "please limit
your call to 5 minutes" when
the operator requests it. A ser-
