Senior Committee
REPORT TO HOME:
Conference Will Open
For Frosh, Principals
By NORMAN MILLER
Plans for teaching a basic course
in nuclear engineering have been
announced by the College of Engi-
neering.
The course is designed for sen-
iors and graduate students and
will present an introductory treat-
ment of the applicatioxi of physics'
to the production of nuclear en-
ergy, according to i rof. Robert
White of the chemical and metal-
urgical engineering department.
"WORK ON nuclear engineering
is relatively new and requires the
coordination of men in numerous
engineering fields, therefore many
of the departmen'Ds of the engi-
neering college have cooperated in
the presenting of this course,"
Prof. White said.
Subject matter of the course
includes work o.xA electro-mag-
netic waves, radtioactivity, mea-
surement of nuclear disinter-
gration, biologial effects of ra-
dioactivity and the application
of nuclear reactors in power
generators.
"According to government au-
thorities there does not appear to
be a great demand for engineers
trained solely in this line of work."
AT THE PRESENT time it is
estimated that there will be only
70 openings a. year in government
activities conicerned with atomic
energy.
There is, however, a strong
likelihood that in the future
many more engineers will find
work in this field, Prof. White
said.
Faculty members named as ad-
ministrators of the course are Prof.
Robert White of the chemical and
metalurgical department, chair-
man; Prof.. Frank Schwartz of the
mechanical engineering depart-
ment; Prof. Rauch of the aero-
nautical engineering department,
and Henry Gomberg of the elec-
trical engineering department.

be. addressed by Dean Hayward
Keniston of the literary college on
"Common Goals for Schools and
Colleges."
THE FIRST conference was
held in 1927 through an invitation
by the Registrar's Office. Since
then, there has been a steady in-
crease in attendance from year to
year.
The program has been adopted
by other universities and colleges
both in Michigan and other states.
According to the Registrar's
Office, the objectives of the con-
ferences are three-fold:
1. To give students an oppor-
tunity to discuss personal and aca-
demic problemstwith someone
from their home town.
2. To offer high school educa-
tors the chance to observe stu-
dents' prollems fi°st-hand and
gather information to be used in
forming programs to prepare stu-
dents for college.
3. To aid the University in their
efforts to solve the problems
caused by the transition from high
school to college.
Quad Coffee Hour
The East Quad will hold a coffee
hour from 4 to 5 p.m. today for 25
high school principles.
The coffee hour, sponsored by
the East Quad Council, will allow
new freshmen in the Quad to get
together with their principals for
a discussion period. It is being
held in connection withthe Quad-
house orientation program.

A petition by the local Young
Progressives to affiliate with the
National Organization has been
rejected by the Office of Student
Affairs.
A letter received yesterday by
Gordon Macdougal, president of
the campus Young Progressives,
listed the reason for rejection "as
failure of the group to follow pro-
cedure commonly accepted by
other student organizations."
SUCH PROCEDURE includes
"filing requests for meeting and
clothing drives preliminary to an-
nouncing them publicly," the let-
ter said.
Macdougal was also informed
that the probationary status of
the Young Progressives on cam-
pus will be continued "for the
balance of this semester, at the
end of which time the petition
will be reviewed."
Macdougal said "such vague
harges as 'procedures commonly
accepted by other groups' raised
loubts in my mind as to whether
.ot abiding by customs was the
)rimary reason for this ruling."
"The charges against the Young
?rogressives contains no report of
iolation of University rules," he
