ITONWIDE SURVEY: VetsSatisfied with Quality of Instruction By DICK MALOY An exhaustive survey of veter- ans attending colleges throughout the nation has revealed that they are pretty well satisfied with the quality of their instruction, but find little time to take part in extra-curricular activities. Compiled by a national com- mittee headed by Dean E. G. Wil- liamson of the University of Min- nesota, the survey took in a sci- entific sample of the nation's vet- eran students and was financed by the Misabled American Veter- ans association. Varied Opinions Nearly 90 per cent of the stu- dent veterans queried said their college instruction rated "average, good and very good." About half of them said they thought quality of instruction had been raised as a result of swollen veteran enroll- ment, while a quarter noted no change in. standards and the other quarter thought the quality of college instruction had dropped of f. Crowded classes and the lack of individual attention was cited as the major reasons for a drop in standards by the 25 per cent who thought the quality of college in- struction had depreciated. No Extra-Curricular Activity More than one half of the stu- dent veterans take little part in extra-curricular activity, the sur- vey reported. Lack of time and interest were given as the major reasons for not taking part in such activities as clubs, student government, publications and sim- ilar activities. About one third of the veteran students questioned in the survey said they participated in extra- curricular campus activities to an average extent while only seven per cent declared that they take a, large part in such activities. Particular Interest Of this last group most take a large part in campus activities because of an interest in the par- ticular activity, or social reasons. Only a fraction .of the interested group said they thought the activ- ities would help them when it comes to getting a job. The survey also revealed that more than one half of the student veterans questioned have not changed their vocational plans since returning to college after war service. These results refute the common misconception that war experiences altered the voca- tional plans and ambitions of the great majority of American war veterans. Only a third of the students questioned said they changed vo- cational plans after doffing the uniform. Many of these were men disabled during the conflict and are now physically unable to car- ry out original plans. The other major reason for changing voca- tional plans was a "change in in- terest." Roterus Resigns As Research Chief' Victor Roterus has resigned from his position as resident di- rector of the University of Mich- igan Social Science Research Project in Flint to accept an appointment as Chief of the Pro- gram Planning Division of the U.S. Department of Commerce, Clark Tibbitts, director of the Institute of Human Adjustment has announced.

VACATION WITH PAY: Marine ROTC Enlistees May Spend Summer at Quantico Three Films Will Present Social Issues Three "social problems" films, one of which was recently banned in North Carolina, will be shown at 4:15 p.m. today at Kellogg Au- ditorium. The showing, which is spon- sored by the Audio-Visual Educa- tion Institute of the University Extension Service, will include "The Rise and Fall of Nazi Ger- many," "Bread and Wine," and "Brotherhood of Man." Julien Bryan, recent Oratorical Association lecturer here, photo- graphed "Bread and Wine," which portrays the plight of Italian peasants on absentee - owner farms. Because it questions the share-cropping system by which Italian farmers must give half their crops to the landowner, the film was banned in North Caro- lina. Hitler's rise to power and his downfall at the hands of the al- lies are depicted in "The Rise and Fall of Nazi Germany." Problems vexing Germany today are also portrayed. The third film, "Brotherhood of Man," was made for the UAW- CIO to prove that racial discrim- ination has no basis in fact, as far as abilities are concerned. Sawyer To Speak Dean R. A. Sawyer of the Grad- uate School will speak on the subject, "Application of Atomic Eenergy," at a meeting of the Stump Speakers, 7:15 today in the small ballroom of the Union. IRA Membership Drive The IRA will conduct a mem- bership drive on Wednesday and Thursday of this week, Pat Fiske, chairman of the membership committee, announced yesterday. By BESS HAYES A colorful display ofncontem- porary maps is now on exhibit in the main lobby of the General Library. From contour maps of Califor- nia to Air Strip maps of the Pa- cific area the selection is part of 34,000 sheet maps now owned by the Library. Complete Coverage Since 1944 the Map Room has received 17,000 maps, the major- ity of which were issued by vari- ous agencies of the U.S. Govern- ment,'according to Miss Margaret Smitli, reference librarian, who is in charge of the Map Room. When all the maps published by the U.S. Army Map Service have been received the collection willl include complete world cov- erage. Romanized Characters One of the most interesting maps on exhibit is that of the South Sea Islands which includes Saipan, and the Marianas, 1942 edition which has the georphic names in Japanesce and Rdmaji, that is, Romanized chacters. Offset lithography is the proc- ess used for making colored maps. Drawings are photographed, then lithograph printing plates are made from the negatives and plates print colors one after an- other. As many as ten colors may be printed by this nethod. Colorful Contemporary Maps Featured in LibraryExhibit a+ 13y RAY COURAGE A commission in the United States Marine Corp Reserve, and the opportunity to spendthe sum- mer months at Quantico, Vir- ginia with pay, is in store for those students who take advantage of the Officers Training course, ac- cording to Captain Raymond L. Valenti. Called the Platoon Leaders Class, the reserve officers program operates only in the sunny sum- mer months, Valenti wistfully ex- plained, and is composed of stu- dents who wish to receive a re- serve commission without sacri- ficing any of their college edu- cation. Summer Training Period The program is open to all qual- ified veteran and non-veteran freshmen and sophomores, and veteran juniors. Members attend one or two summer training pe- riods of six weeks each, Valenti cntinued, depending upon wheth- er or not they enrolled as fresh- men, sophomores, or juniors. The advantage of this program to veterans who are of junior standing in college, Valenti point- ed out, is that they may receive their commission with only one summer's, or six weeks' training. The rate of pay for the first training period is 90 dollars a month plus quarters, subsistance, expenses, transportation expenses, and for the second period, Valenti explained, the member receives 100 dollars a month. Reserve Commissioners After successful completion of the required periods of training; a total of 12 weeks for men who be- gan as freshmen or sophomores, and six weeks for veterans who be- gan as juniors; Valenti continued and after graduation from college with a bachelor's degree, members are eligible for appointment to the' commissioned ranks as Second Lieutenants, U. S. Marine Corps Reserve. A limited number of graduates, if they so desire, are commissioned in the regular Marine Corps. .1 'I' fros'hl " In case anyone should ask you, the 'ENS IAN is the YEARBOOK OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN. a The '48 Edition is the ROSE BOWL 'ENSIAN and, besides, it's the record of you r f i rst yea r at college. i It is on sale at the Student Publications Building for $6 and would be a steal at any price. your, yearbook michia nnsian DAILY -OFFICIAL BULLETIN I Publication in The Daily Official' Bulletin is constructive, notice to all members of the University.
