MARCH 5, 1946 THF MICHIGAN- DAILY PA 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.

The Literary College again ac- counted for most of the enrollment, with 5,851 students, including 31 per cent of the veterans. The College of Engineering reported 2,292 students and 27 per cent of the veterans.

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. Dean .discusses. 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." Don't Miss The J-Hop Extra!
