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.

FIVE ON FIELD TRIP: U' Geologists, Mineralogists To Attend Texas Convention The University's 21st annual Freshman - Principal Conference opens at 8:30 p.m. today as more than 1,400 freshmen meet with former high school principals in the Rackham Building. School heads and teachers from 148 high schools-13 of them from outside the state-will sit down to talk over the problems of college adjustment with their one-time pupils. * * * DEANS FROM 13 Michigan Junior colleges will also be on hand to interview former students now attending the University. Also scheduled in the day's ac- tivities is a luncheon meeting for the attending educators. After a welcome by President Alexander G. Ruthven, they will Pr of. Coller To Participate In Convention IJr. Frederick A. Coller, chair- man of the surgery department of the University medical school and newly-elected president of the American College of Surgeons, will participate in the fourth annual meeting of the Georgia chapter of the College of Surgeons tomorrow. The meeting, which is taking place in Atlanta, Ga., is being held in conjunction with the College of Surgeon's Committee on Trauma and the Cancer Committee, as well as the Fifth District Medical So- ciety. * * * DR. COLLER will lead the dis- cussion on a symposium on dis- eases of the stomach, spleen and pancreas tomorrow morning. He will talk on "Activities of the College" before' the execu- tive session of the Fellows of the College of Surgeons later the same morning. 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. CHALKS UP A v~' $ 9 Smart men agree unanimously that CURTIS SHOES give you stand-out performance.

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."
