Aptitude Tests
Place Veterans
A bove Others
Veterans are better students and
better workers than non-veterans,
according to research studies con-
ducted among students of Columbia
College, Chicago, and among 175
industries employing 250,000 work-
ers,
The report on the studies, an-
nounced yesterday by Norman Alex-
androff, president of the college,
shows that veterans scored much
higher than non-veterans on tests of
adjustment trains. This was espe-
cially true among industrial workers.
President Alexandroff believes many
non-veterans suffer from maladjust-
menth owing to a "guilt complex."
"Contrary to popular opinion, the
civilian rather than the veteran
seems to be the real social and emo-
tional problem of society," President
Alexandroff said.
Among the students tested, the vet-
erans topped non-veterans in psycho-
logical inventory tests of their men-
tal, social, personality and academic
traits.

;anization flew to the town with Bud
Baer, a commercial flying instructor

weary eightptour ride on the train."
With Miss Hamilton at the con-
trols the pair took off, and one hour

ed once again in Ann Arbor.'.
The flying weather was "perfect,"
it was a "wonderful trip" and the
new plane is described as being
"beautiful" by its first pilot. She
stated that the club is glad to have
their first shio and have the club
under way.
Plans have already been made for
the additional purchase of a tan-
dem-type Aeronca. Delivery on this
plane is expected sometime next

Major Patricio Fernandez, USAFE'
is an authority on Japanese concen-
tration camps.
At present he is attached to the
Judge Advocate General forces of the
United States Army and ,will be grad-

of the 27th Officers Class, from an
intensive thr-ee mioniiths' cou:m;e in War

versity Law School.
The Major, who joined the Fili-
pino Army in 1937 when he forsaw
the pending conflict, retreated with
General MacArthur's troops to Ba-
taan, and was taken prisoner of war
in June, 1942 after the fall of Cor-
regidor.
"I endured the infamous 'death
march' from Bataan to find myself
cast into an overcrowded, filthy,
Japanese concentration camp
where I was held for over two and
a half months." Major Ferdnan-
dez said.
"My group," he continued, "con-
sisting of more than 3,500 men, was
confined in an area not even as large
as that occupied by the University
Law Quadrangle."
"Our rations were very meager,
he pointed out. Often one under-
fed cow would be slaughtered to
feed 1,000 hungry men. Whippings
and similar cruel treatment were
common," Fernandez said.
"And the only time we were allowed
outside our compound" the Filipino

Petitions for
LeagateaPosts
Due Tuesday
Petitioning for the position of
L( waue Council personnel chairman
and for two junior personnel assis-
tants will continue until 5 p.m. Tues-
day when all petitions are due in the
Judiciary box in the Undergraduate
Office of the League, according to
Ruthann Bales, chairman of the
Women's Judiciary Council.
The personnel chairmanship is
open to all eligible first semester sen-
iors and second semester juniors. Eli-
gible first semester juniors and sec-
ond semester sophomore coeds may
petition for the junior assistant po-
sitions.
Petitions, which may be obtained
in the Social Director's Office in the
League, should include complete
plans for the desired positions. The
personnel chairman's main dutties
will consist of managing the student
book exchange in cooperation with
the Union, organizing ushers for the
theatres and the Art Cinema League,
and meeting special requests for the
personnel, such as demands for wait-
resses.
Each candidate for the personnel
chairmanship must present her *eligi-
bility card and the names of her
housemother, a faculty member and
;an upperclassman as reference.
Women petitioning for the junior as-

stuffs. Although the price of goods
was tremendous-a can jf fis shell-
ing for $17.50--some of us, who
were able to hide money from the
Japs, did manage to supplement
our otherwise starvation diet, Of
course, whenever the Japs found us
smuggling this in, we were severely
beaten," Fernandez said.
"Often times, the Japanese would
not allow the Red Cross workers to
reach us," he added.
After two and a half months of
this, the Japs offered Major Fernan-
dez the position of Governor of Pal-
awan Province if he would take an
oath not ever to engage in any activi-
ties against the Japanese occupation
government.
He served as governor of Palawan
for 18 months, during which time
he was able to make contact with un-
derground forces and materially aid
groups of 500 Americans whom the
Japs had put to forced labor building
airstrips.
"I forced my own resignation late
in 1943," Major Fernandez related,
"and was then able to take up resi-
dence in Manila so that I might be
able to take a more active part in the
resistance movement."
"My job with the underground,"
he declared, "was to disseminate to
the Philippine peoples news of the
outside world which I was able to
receive over a secret short-wave
radio set I had smuggled into a se-
cret hiding place.
"We spread information with mi-
raculous speed by word of mouth. A
report coming to me at Manila in the
evening would reach the distant hills
by morning," the Major stated.
About a month and a half before
the first American landings in the
Philippines were made, Major Fer-
nandez was discovered with his radio
set. The Japanese arrested him and
imprisoned him for 40 days, releasing
him just one week before the Ameri-
can invasion.,
