rAGK SIB THE~ MICHIGAN iDAILY THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1946 { Signal Corps Will Reactivate Fraternity Here Old Members Asked To Call Maj. Porter Pi Tau Pi Sigma, national honor- ary Signal Corps fraternity which has been inactive since 1943, is being reactivated this fall, Major Howard Porter, professor of military science and tactics, said yesterday. Before the war this fraternity had a chapter on almost every campus in the country that had an ROTC Signal Corps unit, Major Porter said. "It provided an organization whereby po- tential Signal Corps officers could meet and discuss mutual problems with Signal Corps officers and se- lected members of the faculty," he added. The national headquarters of this fraternity is rotated each year to a university or college with an ROTC Signal Corps unit, and that year's of- ficers of the local chapter are also the national officers, Major Porter said. The national headquarters was at the University in 1943 when the organization was inactivated because of the curtailment of the ROTC pro- gram. To facilitate reopening of the fra- ternity, all alumni and honorary members of Pi Tau Pi Sigma have been asked by Major Porter to con- tact him at Army Headquarters, 512 S. State St. Purdue Students Protest Raise in Haircut Prices LAFAYETTE, Ind., Oct. 9-(R)- Several thousand Purdue University students, sworn to the pledge "for a buck a throw, let it grow," were with- holding the buck today while length- ening locks crept down their necks and around their ears. Embattled barbers, who recently raised the price of haircuts from 75 cents to $1, charged that the students had employed strong-arm tactics to enforce a boycott of their shops, but university officials refuted the charge. Members of the Barbers Union said in a letter to Carl H. Mullen, presi- dent of the Indiana State Federation of Labor, that students had thrown non-student customers out of shops and prevented others from entering.

Former French Mayor To Talk Dr. Connes To Discuss Dijon Under Germans' "A French City Under the Nazis" will be the subject of a University lecture to be given by Dr. Georges Connes, French educator and author- ity on Shakespeare, next Monday at 4:15 p.m. in the Rackham Amphi- theater. Dr. Connes, whose lecture is spon- sored by the Department of Romance Languages, was mayor of Dijon, France during the early days of the Nazi regime. When the war came he was a member of the Town Council and he retained his position until the Germans arrived. As he was the only remaining member of the coun- cil, he then took over the administra- tion of the city government, but be- cause he could not endorse Vichy pol- icy, he later resigned. He was taken prisoner by the Nazis in January 1944, but was released on Easter Sunday. Dr. Connes is at the present time Dean of the Faculty of Letters and professor of English Literature at the University of Dijon. Several years ago Dr. Connes ad- dressed "Le Cercle Francais" while he was a visiting professor at the University of Buffalo. ATOMIC ENIGMA: Disruptions Unpredictable (Continued from Page 1) coking coal, for carbon as well as fuel." "An alternative use of atomic energy would be on locomotives, if this would result in reduced trans- portation costs," Prof. Hoover con- tended. "Cheap freight costs re- sult in decentralization of indus- try." There seems to be "little possibil- ity" of such use of atomic energy at this time, he said, but future de- velopments may change the picture. He added that the steam engine, too, was once used only as a stationary device. Prof. Hawley, too, stressed the fact that cheaper costs of transportation and communication permit people to live further apart without loss of contact. "Insofar as atomic energy is a source of consumer power and can be put into use for these things, and insofar as it reduces cost, the result will be further decentrali- zation," he declared. However, there is a danger of costs of cer- tain services becoming "prohibi- tive" if people become too widely scattered. Prof. Hawley pointed out that the social scientist will not have much to say until the physicists and engi- neers make clear the applications and costs of atomic rower for civil- ian use. "Our principle field of study in connection with atomic energy at present concerns the attitudes, in- ternational relations and economic impact resulting from its use as a war weapon," he explained. The tendency of population today, Prof. Hawley added, is to concen- trate in broad metropolitan areas, but within these areas there is a ten- dency to scatter. "Any improvement due to atomic energy would probably spread the decentralization area just a little more widely around the city center." Prof. Perkins emphasized the fact that resettlement of people in these new areas would auto- matically involve problems which "can only be taken care of by pub- lic authority." As relocation of industry can be a planned matter, he poined out, so the communities that grow out of such relocation can be planned for "optimum living." In many com- munities today the area of govern- mental functions dots not conform to the social and economic areas be- cause industrialization and urbaniza- tion followed establishment of gov- ernment. "This fact could be elim- inated in new communities." Women Voters Plan To Hold Two-Day Meet The League of Women Voters will hold a two-day state conference to- morrow and Friday in the East Con- ference Room of the Rackham Building. A discussion of the standards of recognition for state and local leagues, which were adopted by the 1946 national convention, will be featured tomorrow. National board member, Mrs. Allen C. G. Mitchell, Bloomington, Ind., will lead the dis- cussion. The state board meeting, to take place on the second day of the con- ference, will include adoption of state by-laws and the hiring of a legislative secretary. League officials have urged local members to attend the meetings in order to become better acquainted with state members and to gain an overall picture of the league's activ- ities throughout the nation.
