PAGE EIGHT THE MICHIGAN IAfY THURSDAY, JUNE 2PAOE EIGHT TUVRSDAY, JUNE Navy Training Extension Service Offers Institute To Train Public Administration Experts Program Is To End JulyIst 1,455 Officers Graduated Here The University was one of 52 col- leges and schools throughout the country participating in the Navy's accelerated training program which officially ends July 1, with a record of 3,451 students enrolled and 1,455 graduated to serve as officers with the ships of the fleet. V-12, V-5, NROTC and medical students were receiving instruction here at the peak period in 1943 when there was a total of 1,518 enrolled. Current enrollment, comprising one Marine and four Naval companies, is 478. Begun in 1942 The V-12 and V-5 programs were initiated here during the summer of 1942 in order to more speedily train and educate larger numbers of of- ficers than could be accommodated in the NROTC Unit, commissioned in 1940. Four terms of training were pro- vided by the V-12 and NROTC pro- grams, under which students could elect any courses they desired in addition to required Naval science courses. A specialized training pro- gram ranging from six to twelve terms was set up for potential offi- cers. Upon graduation from the Univer- sity, V-12 trainees were sent to mid- shipman's school for six months ad- ditional training in preparation for commissioning, while NROTC stu- dents, who were required to take at least 24 hours of Naval science courses, were commissioned ensigns at the time of commencement. Final Class At the end of the war, the pro- gram was still in existence. This final class graduated will be commissioned, put on active duty or discharged if they have sufficient points. Of the 172 NROTC students who will grad- uate at ceremonies June 22, 72 have requested active duty with the fleet as ensigns for six months, and will be commissioned at the time of com- mencement. Those who applied for inactive status will graduate, but their commissions will be sent to their homes. Present plans provide for a 3001 man peacetime NROTC program here. 125 of the men already enrolled here will continue in the program. Providing legislation is passed by Congress, the government will pay tuition, $50 per month for eachj member and uniforms for those whoj have fulfilled academic and physical requirements to enter the program. Wide Range of Courses By FRANCES PAINE From short courses for fire fighters to conferences for Protestant pas- tors, and from classes in child care and training to post-graduate engin- eering courses in automobile body design -such is the wide range of activities included in the work of the University ftxtension Service. Much of the . work of the Ex- tenIon Service., which is under the direction of Dr. Charles A. Fi-hcr, with offices in Rm. 107 Haven Hall, has recently been con- rernied With short courses and in- stitutes lasting from one day to a week. Tile first of these this school year was the 16th annual Parent Education Institute, which was held in November in Detroit and Full-Time Use Of Rackham in Detroit Possible Offering a plan which would ame- liorate what now appears to be an inevitable housing shortage next fall, made even more acute by an in- creased enrollment, a University ad- mini,, trator has suggested that the Rackham Building in Detroit be used as a full-time branch of the Uni- versity. He said that students, residing in. and around Detroit could attend "a University in Detroit," and get their University credit. Could Ease Burden. While this idea is not an overall panacea to the problem of soaring enrollment at the University, it, nev- ertheless, is one way of easing the local burden, he pointed out. He estimated that 1,000 students could work conveniently at the Rack- ham Building in the Motor City. It is not known whether the Uni- versity will seriously consider this proposal, although ways and means of solving the problem of limited capacity are being discussed. Detroit Faculty Required "Such an undertaking would re- quire a faculty drawn from in and around Detroit but that's not en- tirely out of the question," he de- clared. With 68 per cent of the Michigan veterans returned to civilian life, it is extremely difficult to estimate the number of enrollment applications for the fall semester, he said, but it is very likely that the number will approach 20,000. (Previous official University esti- mates have placed fall semester en- rollment at "approximately 18,000.") Grand Rapids, in cooperation with the Michigan Congress of Parents and Teachers. Another series held last fall i several Michigan cities was the Hom Planners Institute, intended for peo ple who were going to build -home in the post-war period and wante to learn something about choosing home sites, designing homes, select- ing material, interior decoration financing, etc. This series was giver with the cooperation of the College of Architecture and Design. In January of this year the Ex- tension Service and the Michigan Council of, Churches combined tc hold a Michigan Pastors' Conference in Ann Arbor, attended by about 450 ministers. Prof. Paul F. Tillich of Union Theological Seminary was the. chief speaker. On March 1 the Extension Service cooperated with theForemen's Clubs Association of Foremen to hold a Foremen's Conference in the Rack- ham Educational Memorial in Detroit, This was attended by about 1250 foremen of industrial and manufac- turing concerns in the metropolitan area. Also at the Detroit Rackham Building in March, a Reporters' Clinic, the first of its kind ever given by the Extension Service, provided instruction for reporters on industri- al publications, scribes of American Legion posts, publicity chairmen for women's clubs and others. The 14th annual Adult Education Institute was held May 14, 15 and 16 in Ann Arbor, under the joint sponsorship of the Extension Ser- vice and the Michigan Federation of Women's Clubs. Four series of lectures - "The World Today," "World Citizenship," "The Amer- ican Home" and "The Results of Scientific Discovery" - were given by 11 University faculty members. The "Fire College," a five day pro- gram which will be held at the end of June in Ann Arbor, will give fire- men from all communities in the Lower Peninsula instruction in fire fighting, fire hazards and other phases of their work. It will be com- bined with a state convention of firemen. Another phase of the extension work is the lecture service, which is continually sending out faculty members to other cities and towns of the state to lecture before schools and other community organizations. A special feature of the lecture service last fall was carried on in cooperation with the Office of Inter- American Affairs at Washington. Groups of Latin-American students at the University travelled to various cities in the Lower Peninsula to lec- ture about their native lands before smaller colleges, high schools, service clubs, Spanish classes, etc. Extension Service programs last autumn were highlighted by speech- es by Dr. and Mrs. Harry Allen Over- street, adult educators in Town Hall, New York, who conducted a series of lectures and discussions at the Rack- ham Building in Detroit. Their courses, according to Dr. Overstreet, were planned to "make true demo- crats, to give individuals a larger individuality and save them from the littleness of self-concern." The series focussed attention on the in- dividual, and the one on personality development was especially well at- tended. In addition to these individual lectures, the Extension Service this year has given a total of 471 credit and non-credit classes in about 40 Michigan communities, taught by an estimated 180 faculty members. The class-work program is under the direction of Everett A. Soop, assistant director of the Ex- tension Service. "Undoubtedly one of the best at- tended and most popular of these courses," according to Dr., Fisher, is the class on discussion of current non-fiction books, now in its 15th year, given every Thursday night at the Detroit Rackham Building by .Prof. Wesley H. Maurer of the jour- nalism department. WILLIAM COOK LAW QUADRANGLE - housing one units for training lawyers in the nation. The sandstone cupy ten acres on the University campus. THE LAMP IS LOW: of the finest buildings oc- * Law Quadrangle Still Scene Of Feverish Academic Activity By CLAYTON DICKEY Is inefficiency the price of democ- racy? The University answered this ques- tion decisively in the negative early this semester with the establishment of the Institute of Public Administra- tion designed to furnish competent public servants to all levels of gov- ernment. The Institute, headed by Prof. John A. Perkins, of the political science department, will open its doors at the start of the summer session. Established following a year's study by a special faculty committee, the Institute will offer a twh-year grad- uate curriculum leading to the degree Master of Public Administration. The degree of Master of Engineer- ing and Public Administration will be awarded students who complete a special program. The Institute will take over the former curriculum in public admin- istration offered by the Graduate School. The Institute's curriculum will in- clude courses in the School of Busi- ness Administration, the College of Architecture and Design, the College of Engineering, the Law School, the political science, economics, sociology and psychology departments of the literary college and interdepartment- al seminars. Facilities for research training will be provided by the University's Bur- eau of Government, directed by Prof. Robert S. Ford, of the economics de- partment. Behind the Institute is the omi- nous prediction of Prof. Perkins that unless the people can get ef- ficient administration of the laws passed by their elected representa- tives, they will scuttle democracy. Because persons charged with re- sponsibility for government adminis- tration are aware of the people's challenge, wide opportunities for col- lege-trained public servants exists in the field today. As reported by Prof. Perkins, there are large demands for qualified per- sons to fill these positions in local. state and federal government agen- cies: Junior administrative positions fill- ed by competitive examinations or other merit system procedures; Positions as staff assistants to key administrators in manynoperating departments of government; Positions in private bureaus and quasi-public agencies. A definite boost to the idea of graduate training in public admin- istration was given recently by Prof. Leonard D. White, of the Univer- sity of Chicago's Department of Public Administration, in a lecture here. A former member of the United States Civil Service Commission, Prof. White reported that the civil serv- ice examinations for the position of junior administrative assistant are designed to detect a definite know- ledge of public administration tech- nique. Formerly they were merely designed to detect "fine minds". The Institute will get under way July 1 with the opening of the sum- mer session. Early estimates of en- rollment in the course for public ser- vants indicate wide campus interest according to the political science de- partment. A large veteran enrollment is anticipated. Alumni will find that University law students still are burning mid- night oil in the nationally-famed William Wilson Cook Law Quad- rangle. Housing one of the first units com- pletely organized and equipped for training lawyers and for research in legal science, the sandstone Law buildings of a late Jacobean type of Gothic architecture occupy ten acres of the University campus. The Quad- rangle was dedicated in 1934. The first of its impressive build- ings, built twenty years ago, is the Lawyers Club Building, containing dormitory accomodations, dining hall, lounges and recreational fa- cilities. The John P. Cook Building, named in honor of the father of Wil- liam Cook, '82L, was completed six years later and also serves as a dormitory. The William W. Cook Legal Re- search Library, containing close to 250,000 books and whose spacious reading room alone can accomodate 500 people, was opened the follow- ing year. In 1933, Hutchins Hall, adminis- trative unit of the Quadrangle, con- taining lecture and seminar rooms, professional offices, practice court- room, study hall, library for faculty and the offices to two student law publications, was opened completing the construction of the Law Quad- rangle. Aside from his gift of the Quad- rangle as a new home for the Michi- gan Law School, William W. Cook, established a large endowment fund to be used for the promotion of ad- vanced legal research, the mainten- ance of the library and to attract the best available men to the Law School faculty. Health Service In 36th Year In 36 years of serving University students, the Health Service has ex- panded from a small residence on the spot where Burton Memorial Towar stands now to the modern 50-bed building on Fletcher. Dr. Warren E. Forsythe, head of the Health Service now, was on the original eight man staff and has watched medical service to students grow until it now includes almost all the fields of specialization under a staff of almost 100 people. Another member of the original staff who is still in Ann Arbor is Dr. Howard H. Cummings, who was first director and is now chairman of the Department of Postgraduate Medicine. The Health Service was first cre- ated as an independent unit. In 1921 when it was moved to the building that is now the Museum annex, it was included in the division of Hy- giene and Public Health. At that time it included all physical educa- tion work, intramural sports and hygiene and public health teaching. In 1941, following the establishment of the School of Public Health, it was made a separate unit again. Cis -------q 1. J2~n~erw J/veej U .....
