Greased with crank case oil and smeared with lamp black, eleven men were recently marched across Medical Essay Contest Opens Dean C. H. Peake has an- nounced that prizes of $50 and $25 will. be offered for the best essay submitted in this year's Sar- gent Lee Medical History Prize contest. The contest is restricted to jun- ior and senior pre-medical stu- dents and freshmen in medical school under the combined curric- ultim. THE ESSAYS MAY discuss any phase of the history of medicine and should be from 3,000 to 5,000 words in length. Two typed, double spaced copies must be submitted to Dean Peake's office by May 1. Students interested in entering the contest may consult with Dean Peake or the members of the committee which includes Prof. Adam Christman of the chemistry department, Prof. Fred- erick Test of the zoology depart- ment and Prof. John Arthos of the English department. the diag in a torch light parade to the engine arch in one of the most colorful tapping ceremonies on campus. The men were juniors and sen- iors selected by Vulcans to be- come members of the engineering honor society. EACH YEAR the group takes engineering students who have excelled in scholarship and lead- ership. They are selected by vote of the old members. Following the. tapping cere- monies Vulcans hold a formal initiation in their room in the Union. Established in 1902, Vulcans was organized by a group of en- gineers who hoped to lead the en- gineering school into a more dom- inant position on campus. HIGHEST on the Vulcanpro- gram is the plan to build a ce- ment memorial to graduates of the engineering school. The block would be placed near the arch. The group also hopes to put out a handbook similar to the pamphlet published by Tri- angles. The book would con- tain information on the engi- neering school and be distribut- ed to all freshmen engineers. Symbolized by a brass anvil, the group is led by George Johnson, president, and Tom Bayless, sec- retary-treasurer. Finds Less Supervision Hel sWork The supervisor who permits the people working under him to par- ticipate in making decisions will find that they will do better work, according to a recent study con- ducted by the University's Sur- vey Research Center. "The more opportunities for spontaneous self-direction a job offers, the more the people will get from their task," Dr. Daniel, director of the survey said. THIS SURVEY, conducted in the home office of a large insur- ance company, aimed to find out some of the psychological factors related to group productivity. VIELLE TRIO TO PLAY: Hit Tunes' To Be Heard From 15th, 16th Century University students will get a chance to hear the "hit tunes" of the 15th and 16th century when the Vielle Trio offers a string con- cert at 8 p.m. Wednesday in the Rackham Lecture Hall. Playing instruments described as ancestors of the modern fiddle family, the trio will reconstruct a concert of the Middle Ages or Renaissance. * * * MEMBERS OF the Vielle Trio are Miss Beatrice Dohme, and Franz Siedersbeck, alto - vielle; Werier Landshoff, tenor and coitra-vielle. Their vocal ac- compi animent is tenor Du Bose Robertson. The instruments that the Trio plyIs closely resemble the mod- ern violin or viola, with several basic differences. For example, the "soundpost," which in- creases volume in today's in- struments, is absent. The vielle, though shaped like a modern fiddle, is flat at the front and back like a guitar. 35ec to 5 P.M. Continuous from 1 P.M. NEW VA HOSPITAL-Work has begun on the Veterans Administration's 500-bed regional hospital, which will be operated in close association with the University Medical School.

Approximately 1,000 hospital personnel will be housed in a separate apartment building by the VA, which also plans to build a 20-room nurses home.
