Inter-racial Problemsf
Dr. Melvin Tumin, of the Wayne
University Department of Sociologyt
and advisor to the Wayne chapter oft
the National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People, will
address a joint meeting of IRA and
the Wayne NAACP at 9 p.m. Friday
at Robert Owen Cooperative house.
A dinner will be given by IRA mem-
bers for the Detroit group, preceding
Dr. Tumin's talk. A discussion of the
aims, accomplishments and mutual
problems facing both organizations
will also be featured at the meeting.
An attempt will be made to find a
way in which the two inter-racial or-
ganizations can work together on
various issues.
The two groups will also discuss
ways in which conferences of the in-
ter-racial associations in the Big Ten
schools can get together on a similar
scale to discuss their problems.
Final arrangements for the dinner
will be made at a business meeting of
IRA which will be held at 8 p.m. to-
day in the Union, following a meet-
ing of the executive council at 7:15.
Students who wish to make reserva-
tions for.the dinner may do so .at to-
day's meeting, when plans will also
be made for a Campus Brotherhood
Week to be held some time in May.
All students are invited to hear Dr.
Tumin's speech and to participate in
the general discussion, according to
Sheldon Selesnick, IRA president.
The evening will be climaxed by a so-
cial hour.

TO Give Plays
April 16, 17
Tickets for the two one-act Span-
ish plays, "Rosina es Fragl" and "Las
Cordortuices," will go on sale at 2 p.m.
Monday in the box office of the Lydia
Mendelssohn Theatre.
The plays, to be presented April 16
and 17 in the theater, will star Anne
Sugar '48, Ann Lewin '48, Dick De-
fendin, teaching fellow in the Ro-
mance language department and
Carlos Soares '47.
"Las Codornices" involves a caseof
mistaken identity. A suspicious aunt
and a hen-pecked uncle cause a mis-
erable day for a newly-married cou-
ple. The theme of "Rosina es Fragil"
is based upon Rosina's inability to
say,"no" to a suitor.
Music for the productions will be
played by Helen Sloan.
The committee for the plays are as
follows: Publicity: Lynn Shapiro,
chairman, Sally Anne Cartnell, Irene
Clutter; Decorations: Prof. Vincent
Scanio, director, Carol Fraser, Carol

rence, Maxine Mintz, Carl Kaufman,

Seven More Classes
Will Attend Reunion
Seven more classes have indicated
they will participate in the Victory
Reunion, raising to 85 the total num-
ber responding to date.
Further plans for the reunion, to
be held June 20 through 22, will be
made'tomorrow at a meeting of the
General Committee on the Victory
Reunion,
During the war the engineering de-
partment devoted its facilities almost
entirely to research for the Army and
Navy. Its most important wartime
contribution was the sensational VT
Fuze.
Expenditures Enormous
Expenditures for projects during
the war years amounted to over a
million dollars annually.
T'oday tIhe department is engaged in
more than a hundred projects---rang-
ing from the use of steel in modern
house construction to electronic re-
search-which will eventually result
in a higher standard of living.
The department's relations with in-
dustry and government pays divid-
dends, its directors believe, by aiding
members of the engineering faculty
in keeping up to date on develop-
ments in their particular fields, pro-
viding paying jobs for engineering
students and helping students to
choose a line of engineering endeavor.
Departments Numerous
The project which Engineering Re-
search undertakes are carried on in
the following departments of the
College of Engineering:
Chemical and Metallurgical Engi-
neering, Aeronautical Engineering,
Metal Processing, Civil Engineering,
Engineering Mechanics, Mechanical
Engineering, Electrical Engineering
and Marine Engineering.
Also included in the Engineering
Research program and the depart-
ments of chemistry and physics in the
literary college, the School of For-
estry and Conservation and the Col-
lege of Architecture and Design.

Housing Subsidy
Upheld by Senate
WASHINGTON, April 9-(A)-The
Administration won a major round
in the housing battle late today when
the Senate voted, 53 to 20, to restore
a $600,000,000 subsidy fund to the
bill designed to provide 2,700,000
homes in the next two years.
The house had knocked the sub-
sidy out of the measure. Intended to
encourage production of scarce build-
ing materials, the provision is viewed
by President Truman as the heart
of the bill.
