HOME WAS NEVER LIKE THIS:
Redecorated Hospital Hoses Naval U 11

By BETTYANN LARSEN
There's no place like home--espec-
ially when it's the completely redec-
orated home of the University Naval
Unit in North Hall.
The two-story building on North
University-which was a hospital in
its younger days-contains eight of-
fices for Naval instructors, three for
more senior officers. six classrooms,
a chartroom, two drill rooms, film li-
brary, projection room, anti-subma-
rine war trainer, anti-aircraft gun-
Cinema League
Plans More
Foreign Films
Plans for future programs to be
presented by the Art Cinema League
include possible reinstatement of the
motion picture series of the Museum
of Modern Art and an average show-
ing of three foreign pictures every
two months.
The Art Cinema League is cooper-
ating with the foreign language de-
partments of the University and vari-
ous outside groups in sponsoring and
bringing to the campus old and new
foreign films. Two documentary films
will be shown Sunday in Lydia Men-
delssohn Theatre; "Night Mail," pro-
duced in London, and "Baboona,"
filmed by Mr. and Mrs. Martin John-
son.
Harold J. MacFarlane of the Col-
lege of Engineering was elected chair-
man of the board at a recent meeting,
during which a constitution was pro-
posed and.read. New members of the
board are Stanley D. Dodge .of the
geography department, Antoine J.
Jobin of the French department and
John D. Allison of\ Ann Arbor High
School. George B. Brigham, Jr., of
the College of Engineering, is again
a member of the board.
Union Cards
Are Now Ready
Cards certifying life membership
in the Union are now available to all
civilian men who have been students
in the University the equivalent of
eight semesters.
Life membership in the Union en-
tails all the privileges of ordinary
membership, plus the fact that the
member is no longer assessed for an-
nual dues. In addition, life members
are given preference when engaging
the hotel facilities of the Union.
The cards may be picked up be-
tween 8 a.m. and noon and between
1:30 and 5:30 p.m. in the Business
Office, Rm. 1, University Hall.

In fact, a navigational training de-
vice is soon to be set up in the former
operating room.
And, there's a coke machine in
the basement.
The Penny Arcade was never like
this: A sound track, which roars like
the attacking Jap bomber flashed on
a movie screen, and rattles like an an-
ti-aircraft gun, adds to the realism of
the gunnery trainers which are used
to train men in firing automatic wea-
pons during torpedo and dive-bomb-
ing attacks. A 20-millimeter and a
40-millimeter gun are used in the
training while a moving ring sight,
instead of tracer bullets, directs the
gunner's aim and shows his hits on
the screen.
We repeat: the Penny Arcade has
nothing on this.
A film library which contains sev-
eral of the anti-aircraft training reels
and 260 other films covering all
phases of Naval science instruction, a
modern training-aid device used to
project navigation problems on a
screen, keys for code practice, sem-
aphore flags and signal searchlights
are also used in classroom instruction.
The two chartrooms with regula-
tion tables and large charts of
many United States and foreign
harbors are part of the training
program, and a complete group of
instruments-sextants, stadimeters
Jet Propulsion
Is Discussed
At Symposium
Experimental work on the use of
new ideas and materials for gas tur-
bines, jet propulsion and ram jets
(buzz bombs) being done by the Cali-
fornia Institute of Technology was
reported on by Dr. Duwez at the
Wright Field symposium this week,
Prof. E. T. Vincent of the department
of mechanical engineering said yes-
terday.
The symposium was attended by
representatives from a number of
universities and industries. The Uni-
versity of Michigan was represented
by Prof. Vincent and Prof. F. L.
Schwartz of the department of me-
chanical engineering and Prof. A. M.
Kuethe of the department of aero-
nautical engineering.
They propose to hold one of these
meetings a month, Prof. Vincent said.
Since the experimental work is being
financed by the government, he com-
mented, it belongs to the public. That
is why representatives of the various
universities and industries are invited
to attend these meetings.

In the basement armory there is a
large room housing the "anatomy" of
a mine, a torpedo cross-section,
depth charges, and loading machines
for 5-inch-38-millimeter, 40-milli-
meter and 5- and 3-inch guns.
A ward room on the second floor
is "where the fellows can relax be-
tween classes," Lieut. Comm. Harry
Fitch said. Adjacent to the room is
a small library of Navy reference
books.
Almost completed is an anti-sub-
marine warfare trainer which will
simulate actual warfare conditions
on a screen.
"We're proud of our new home,"
Comm. Fitch said, "and we're proud
of the modern facilities we are
able to use in instruction."
At this point, Comm. Norman Gil-
lette added, "Don't forget, Harry, that
wee owe sincere thanks to the Univer-
sity and especially to the fine Build-
ing and Grounds Department for
making the change, so that we can
offer an up-to-date training program
to our students."

'ONE-MAN ARMY' MAY ENTER POLITICS-Maj. Arthur W. Wermuth
(above), famed "One Man Army of Bataan," works on an outboard
motor at his home in Traverse City, Mich. Wermuth expressed himself
as "going into politics as a Democrat" when his terminal leave expires.
Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg, Republican, may oppose him if Wermuth
chooses to run as Democratic candidate for U.S. Senator from Michigan.
PROF. MOEHLMAN SAYS:

Sub-Standard Buildings Will
Limit State Public Instruction

Michigan schools will become in-
creasingly limited in their ability to
meet the needs for universal public
instruction unless the present sub-
standard building needs are remedied,
Prof. Arthur B. Moehlman, of the
School of Education, said in an arti-
cle for the School of Education Bul-
letin.
"Operating budgets for 1946-47
should at least be 35 per cent high-
er than in 1939-40 merely to main-
tain status quo without providing
for growth in membership, smaller
elementary classes, more diversified
curriculums, and more adequate
textual and visual aids."
If teaching is to improve, Prof.
Moehlman stated, it must be realized
that school buildings are an impor-
tant essential of the total school pro-
gram. In presenting the needs for
public education to the legislature
neither school boards, superinten-
dents, professional groups or state
education officials included the school
plant in their estimate of needs.
Heavy legislative emphasis was placed
on operating and retirement needs
without even mentioning the school
plants needs, Prof. Moehlman de-
clared.
Claiming that curricular changes
during the past twenty years have
made the older and inflexibly built
schools inadequate for present day

needs, Prof. Moehlman said that
thousands of these older buildings
present hazards to safety of the stu-
dents.
"Since 1925 there has been an un-
usual drift toward suburban concen-
trations just outside of the larger
cities. These areas have been func-
tioning with 'temporary' school build-
ings for the past twenty years."
Another factor which increases
the buildings needs, Prof. Moehl-
man explained, is the war-time in-
crease in population through mi-
gration from other states. Urban
and state officials can no longer ig-
nore the fact that most of this mi-
gration will be permanent.
The Public Education Study Com-
mission spent more than two years
investigating the total needs for pub-
lic education. It recommended the
progressive reorganization of more
than 6,000 independent school dis-
tricts into 253 reasonably competent
elementary - secondary community
districts as the first step in equaliz-
ing educational opportunity
Another recommendation was for
an annual appropriation by the
legislature of not less than 10 mil-
lion (approximately half of the an-
nual total building needed), based
on the assumption of help from
federal contribution, to a postwar
public works program.
