By ALLEGRA. PASQUALETTI
During the course of registra-
tion week five to six thousand
freshmen and transfer students
are examined from teeth to toe-
nails by a system which strongly
resembles the late Henry Ford's
famed assembly line.

dering from one floor of the gym

chairman of the city's campaign,
said yesterday.
Movie-goers can save their
dimes up for collections which will
be made in all theatres during the
fifteen day drive, Lumbard said.
Campus representatives for the
March of Dimes are Jim McCobb,
president of IFC, and Sally Sta-
matz, Pan-Hellenic president.
They will cooperate with the city's
fifteen-man committee in the lo-
cal call for dimes.
"University students can con-
tribute to the city drive safe in
the knowledge that the funds col-
lected will help them directly if
they contract infantile paralysis.
Fifty per cent of all funds received
will stay in Washtenaw county
and are available to anyone in the
area," Lumbard said.
"The polio victim is rushed to
University Hospital and all ex-
penses, except the doctor bill, are
paid for as long as medical care is
necessary."
Direct lump-sum contributions
may be mailed to Russel Bradley,
Ann Arbor Trust Building, Ann
Arbor, made payable to "The
March of Dimes."
Veterans' hecks
Held at Post Office
Checks are being held at the
Ann Arbor Post Office for the
following veterans until Jan. 24:
Comstock, Oliver D.; Davison,
Harvey L.; Gubera, Charles Con-
rad; Johnson, Herman A.; Lem-
eberger, George; Lewis, Charles
O.; Locke, Robert F.; Martin,
Donald M.; Morris, Ena M.
Attends Meeting
Prof. William Frankena, of the
philosophy department, will rep-
resent the University at a meet-
ing of the Council on Graduate
Studies in Religion on Sat., Jan.
24, in Washington, D.C. The meet-
ing was organized by the Amer-
ican Council of Learned Societies.c
the results give the doctors a com-
plete picture of his physical con-
dition, according to Dr. Warren
E. Forsythe, director of Health
Service.
Battery of Experts
A battery of experts in all
phases of medicine are recruited
to supplement the regular Health
Service staff for the mammoth
job of giving physical exams.
Nurses, medical students and phy-
sical education majors assist the
doctors.
The mental condition of future
students also comes in for inves-
tigation. On the basis of short
interviews the staff of psychia-
trists classify students as to gen-
eral mental stability. Accuracy of
the classification is shown by the
fact that most cases where trouble
develops have already been noted
b t epsychiatrists according to
Dr. Forsythe.
Exposure to Contagion
One of the chief purposes of the
exam is to protect students from
exposure to contagion, Dr. For-
sythe said. He added that it may
also indicate defects which, if not
corrected, would keep the student
from getting the most from his
college life.
At one time Health Service ex-
perimented with giving all mem-
bers of one class a physical every
year. Results showed that little
was found which had not been
noted at the original examor dur-
ing later individual conferences,
he said.
Shapley Will
Give Lecture
Dr. Harlow Shapley, world fa-
mous astronomer and Harvard
Observatory director, will speak on
"Science and International Af-
fairs" at 8 p.m. Monday in Rack-
ham Amphitheatre under the aus-
pices of the astronomy depart-
ment.
A leading worker in the fight for
atomic energy control, Dr. Shap-
ley has been active also in working
for the establishment of a Na-
tional Science Foundation, and in
the work of the United Nations
Educational, Scientific and Cul-
tural Organization.
Dr. Shapley's work in astronomy
has been internationally recog-
nized with the awarding of the
Draper Medal of the National
Academy of Sciences, the Janssen
Prize of the Astronomical Society
of France. the gold medal of the
English Royal Astronomical So-
ciety, and the Pope Pius XI prize.

SNOWBALL SENDOFF-Student veterans give warm response to icy barrage of Congress here, as
they prepare to bombard the nation's capital with plastic reminders of the veterans' cost of living
plight. Bearing the inscription, "We've got as much chance as a snowball in hell of living on
present subsistence rates," the snowballs preceded a delegation to Washington to campaign for
increases in GI allottments.

the buying power levels that exist-
ed when $65 and $90 rates were
designated."
Over 100 delegates, including 20
from Michigan, sought boosts to
$100 for single veterans and $125
for married ex-GIs.-
Despite press accounts to the
contrary, Antonofsky commented,
the "snowball" barrage of Wash-
ington was extremely effective in
bringing the veterans' plight to
the attention of Congress. Those
who protested, he added, were
"Old Guard Congressmen who
were put on the spot by an effect-
ive dramatization of the needs of

Prof. Hebrard
Will Retire at
End of Month
After sixteen years' service to
the University, Prof. Jean Heb-
rard, of the architectural school,
is to retire at the end of the se-
mester.
Prof. Hebrard. considered one
of the foremost teachers of archi-
tectural design in the country, was
born in Paris, and received his de-
gree from the Ecoles des Beaux-
Arts in 1904.
He came to this country to
teach at Cornell University, but
returned to France shortly before
the outbreaek of the first World
War. Hebrard served at the front
during most of the war.
After the armistice, Hebrard ac-
cepted a position at the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania. At differ-
ent times, he left the teaching
profession to practice architectur-
al design, and before coming to
the University in 1931, he achiev-
ed great acclaim in Europe.
Prof. Hebrard is at present
teaeching only advanced courses
in architectural designs, which'
are offered to only senior studentsJ
each semester.

By JOHN TILLOTSON
In view of the current demandl
for engineers, February graduates,
in the various depvtmrents of
engineering are havi littie dif-
ficulty finding employment. t
Engineerin. dcpar ncts. witht
the exception of aeronautical, re-
port that requests for engilieers
far outrun the number of grad-
uates. The (hInand for technical{
men by the larger employers of
engineers has warranted an un-
usual number of them sending in-
terviewers to Ann Arbor. Small
concerns, who don't generally con-
tact schools for graduates, have
been flooding many departments
with letter requests.
288 Graduates
To fill this unusual demand
there will be approximately 288
engineering graduates this semes-
ter'. 128 will be gadua+ted in in-
dustrial mechanical and incehan i-
cal engineering and all of these
should have several promising
choices of employment. Typical-
ly, that department has on file
several dozen letters that have not
yet been posted which request
engineers.
The electrical engineering de-
partment reports that 43 under-
graduates will receive degrees.
The demands of interviewers
alone might well have taken all
of these. The 22 civil engineers
to be graduated have been sev-
eral times bid for by mid-west
requirements alone, Many of these
have found positions on their own,
however.
Aeronautical Engineers
Aeronautical engineers have
found employers less enthusiastic.
The demands of interviewers have
been limited and many large con-
cerns have reported all positions
filled.
In regard to this present de-
mand for engineers, M. M. Boring
in a "Report of the Committee on
Manpower" states that the de -
mand for engineers from the class
of 1947 will total 36,200 with a
supply of 23,000. By 1950 their
requirements will drop to 31,200
while it is estimated 58,000 will
be graduated that year.
Good Prospects
As encouragement to a few,
Boring adds that chemical engi-
neers should reach a balance be-
tween Supply and demand or still
be in shortage in 1950. Civil en-
gineers will not reach a balance
before 1951. Though estimates
show an oversupply of mechanical
engineers in 1950. "I feel that we
can use good mechanical engi-
neers as fast as they can be pro-
duced," Boring said.
B nd To Play
At Conference
W l Preview Forty
ConLeniporary Works
The 104 piece University Con-
cert Band, conducted by Prof.
William D. Revelli, will preview
about 40 contemporary American
band works, some of which are
still unpublished, at the Midwest-
ern Music Conference to be 'con-
ducted here Friday, Saturday, and
Sunday.
The session will be a laboratory
presentation of compositions from
which the assembled conductors
will select the program for the
State Band Festival.
Prof. Russell Howland of the
Wind Instrument department will
play for the first time his own ar-
rangement of Paul Creston's Sax-
ophone Concerto. Philip Lang of
New York and Cecil Effinger of
Colorado Springs, Colo., both
noted composers and conductors,
will conduct the band in premier-
ing their own manuscript works.
Among the outstanding works to
be previewed by the band are
"The Gods Go A-Begging," Han-
del; First suite in E flat for Mili-
tary Band, Holst; Fifth Act from
"Faust," Gounod; "From The New
World," Dvorak's fifth symphony,
first movement; and "Prelude and
Fugue," Cecil Effinger.

Cost of the proposed project
would be borne by a special bond
issue, Mayor Brown said. Total
estimates now are: for the muni-
cipal building, $1,100,000; for the
public library, $680,000, and for
underground parking, $462,000.
But the' small taxpayer's bur-
den would be light, the mayor
said. Between 30 and 40 per cent
of the city's revenue comes from
approximately 35 sources, large
industrial and business concerns
in Ann Arbor, he explained. The
rest comes froip 6,000 to 7,000
small sources, he said.
"This municipal building has
been desperately needed for a long
time," he said. Only a few of the
city's department can be housed
in thdpresent city hall, he ex-
plained.
