Future Small
Buildings To Be
Termite-Proof
Rats, termites, and other vermin
will just have to go hungry if their
daily menu is dependent on small
buildings.
Why? Because in the future small
buildings will be more frequently
built with precast concrete beams,
which are vermin and termite proof,
Prof. Ferdinand N. Menefee, of the
engineering mechanics department,
has pointed out.
Factory constructed con cie t e
beams, reinforced with steel, do not
have to be painted regularly to pre-
vent deterioration and are available
when other beams are scarce.
Shortages of wood and steel beams
during the war resulted in more use
of precast concrete for floors and
roofs of dwellings, apartment houses
and hotels, he said, and the success
of such construction indicates "con-
tinued and inQreased" use of such
beams.

Health-185 and Graduate-1,866.
Additional features of the record-
breaking semester were classes meet-
ing at odd hours of the day and in
buildings never before usdd to house
regular courses.
Captain Woodson Michaux, com-
mandant of the campns Navy unit,
said the lowered enrollment in the
V-12 program was the result of pro-
gressive liquidation of the program
since V-J Day.
The Navy's peacetime ROTC will
begin in the fall semester, probably
aided by increased Congressional ap-
propriations, Capt. Michaux said.

Latin Armerica
In Magazine
People, not governments or organi-
zations, should be the focal point for
friendly development of relations
with Latin America, Dean Hayward
Keniston of the Literary College,
writer in the winteri ssue of the
Michigan Alumnus Quarterly Review.
Business Could Help
American business may help great-
ly in improving relationships between
the two continents, if it ceases to
meddle in the internal politics of
Latin America, Dean Keniston says.
He served as attache in charge of Cul-
tural Relations in the United States
Embassy in Buenos Aires.
"Our record has been a shady one,"
governed by expediency, he points
out, in regard to the question of mili-
tary dictatorships. American busi-
ness, he says, found there was less
risk in operating under the "order" of
autocracy than in the confusion of a
fumbling democracy.
Leadership Role
Urging the United States to assume
a role of leadership, Dean Keniston
suggests that not armed force, but
moral force, be used.
"The Axis rulers have shown," he
explains, ".how easy it is to incul-
cate attitudes of hatred and fear in
their people. We must set ourselves
to achieve the opposite result among
the peoples of America and the
World."

The University and more than 60
members of its scientific faculties
were presented with awards and cita-
tions between semesters for outstand-
ing contributions to the war effort.
At the mid-year graduation exer-

F. Hussey, Jr., Chief of the Navy
Bureau of Ordnance, conferred the
Naval O r d n a n c e Development
Award on the University and two
of its divisions, the MeMath-Hul-
bert Observatory and the Depart-
ment of Physics.
The observatory was honored for
its work in developing a Naval optical
bombsight. The Department of Phys-
ics won recognition for the work of
its staff in developing the radio prox-
imity fuse.
In addition, four members of the
Observatory staff and ten members of
the physics staff received individual
certificates in recognition of excep-
tional services. Lapel pins for special
service were awarded to 25 members
of the Observatory staff and to 36
members of the Department of
Physics.
In a ceremony Feb. 26 in New
York City, the University was the
recipient of a 1945 Award for Chem-
ical Engineering Achievement on

hattan Engineering District, which
was in charge of the atomic bomb
