Requirement
Discussed at
Conference
(Continued from Page 1)
PROF. ALBERT Marckwardt of
the English department added
that the word liberal should be
emphasized in liberal education.
"We should free students, he
said, from the naive conceptions
they possess about the world we
live in."
One student claimed that those
who don't like foreign languages
won't get anything out of it. "It's
torture," he said, "I can get what
I want of a foreign culture from
the newspapers."
ANOTHER STUDENT complaint
was that it would overload the
student with credit requirements.
In answer to this, Prof.'
Charles Staubach of the ro-
mance language department,
pointed to a poll of this years
senior class that showed that
72% of them had taken more
'foreign language courses than
the present one-year require-
ment demands.

Chief Denies
Inefficiency
Of Firemen
By VERNON EMERSON
Fire chief Ben Zahn yesterday
denied charges that Ann Arbor's
fire department improperly han-
dled a $60,000 blaze in a Wash-
tenaw Ave. home Sunday.
Several spectators at the fire
claimed that firemen were unor-
ganized, underequipped, and did
not use the best methods possible
to control the fire.
"THESE PEOPLE just don't
know the facts," Chief Zahn said.
"Even the largest and best
equipped departments can't get
control of basement fires such as
this one.',
. He pointed out that his men had
a hard time spotting the main
blaze, which roared from the bot-
tom of the house to the top inside
thick walls, until it reached the
roof.
"We didn't lack anything. We
did everything that could be
done-it just wasn't enough."
One witness, Carl Bryant, '51A,
said that when he got to the fire
a little after it started, he thought
it would be put out.
* * * *
MALCOLM OCHS, '53,.charged
that the fire fighters did not make
use ofhall of the equipment they
could have.
Miss Adda Sherwood, an occu-
pant in the dwelling, said that
firemen made no attempt to save
personal belongings in the house.
But insurance adjustor Walter
Burrows said that as far as his
company is concerned the fire de-
partment did everything possible
to save the building, "There are
always a lot of curbside firemen at

..Another student comment was
that the new requirement would
turn students' against language
courses, so they would take them
just to pass, rather than to broad-'
en their educational scope.

D)EPUTY DIRECTOR Brig. Gen.
ioUis H. Renfrow has warned that
2tough the exam is not mandatory
now, it may be made an essential
aprt of deferment at a later date.
In that event, he said, the
raft board which has no test
core for a student will have to
_prder his induction.
At present draft boards may base
de4erment on either the test score
4a on scholastic standing.
THE IMPORTANCE of taking
le test was further stressed when
t University official predicted that
the students' class standing will
*ot be determined until late June
or possibly early July.
Before the standings can be
; etermined, the semester's final
rades will have to be averaged
and charted. The process is ex-
pected to take several weeks.
he University will announce at
alater date how, when and
vhere the class standings may be
obtained.

t all local draft boards and at the
tniversity's Armed Services In-
trmation Center, Rm. 555 Ad-
inistration Building. The Ann
bar draft board is located at 208

According to the Educational
Testing Service which is in charge
qf the exam, registrants will be no-
tified of the date and place of
examination approximately two
'eeks after they mail their appli-
4ations.

The stage of the Arts Theatre

No Difference
In Views on
AtomnShown
People who live near atomic
energy plants have no more know-
ledge, fear or interest in man's
newest force than residents of
areas where there are no atomic
plants, according to a study made
by the Survey Research Center.
A study of public response to
peacetime uses of atomic energy
was conducted by the Center in
August of 1950 under a research
grant from the United States
Atomic Energy Commission.
* * s
RESULTS OF THE study indi-
cate that people in both installa-
tion and non-installation areas
are generally aware of atomic en-
ergy but have little understanding
of it.
In both groups, researchers
found that about one in a hun-
dred people had not heard of
the A-bomb, and that only six
in a hundred knew of no other
uses for atomic energy.
The over-all findings of the
study show few differences in peo-
ple's reactions to atomic energy
regardless of whether they live in
an installation area or not.
They merely indicate that some-
what fewer people in areas near
atomic energy activities are con-
cerned with potential dangers, and
that somewhat more are perhaps
bored with the subject of atomic+
energy, the Center study reported.

"Are Jesus' Teachings Rele-

lecture scheduled for 7:30 p.m. to-
day in Kellogg Auditorium.
The speaker will be Joseph T.

Bayly will also be available for

land. Living with the cleric is
his niece, who is opposed to every-
thing her uncle believes in. This
is where the Devil enters.
The niece, to put her uncle in
a different position, calls up Sa-
tan. But much to the embarass-
ment of both niece and uncle, it
soon turns out that the Devil is
on the side of the minister. The
rest of the play is devoted to re-
solving the difficulties.
Bridie and his work are little
known in this country, but accord-
ing to club member Strowan Rob-
ertson, who is directing the -up-
coming play, the Scotchman was
one of England's leading play-
wrights until his death early this
year.
Robertson said that as far as
he knew this will be the first
American performance for the
play.
The presentation of the Bridie
work represents a change from
the play originally scheduled by
the club for this period. The first
American presentation of "Mar-
tine," by Jean Jacque Bernard,
was set tobe the group's fifth pro-
duction. However, red tape pre-
vented this, Robertson said,
"First we had to write to France
to get permission to do the play.
After we'd done that, we didn't
have time to write the play's
translator in England and still get
things going on time," Robertson
declared.

It is impossible for Americans to
raise enough food to feed the rest
of the world at our level of con-
sumption, Prof. William J. Darby
of Vanderbilt University said in a
speech here.
While Prof. Darby felt that
America should help provide food
in emergencies, he declared that
our greatest contribution should be
machines, tools and information.
"This will allow these underde-
veloped areas to raise themselves to
the level of which they are cap-
able," he explained.

tor for the discussion. The panel

gell of the sociology department,

economics department and Prof.
Samuel Eldersveld of the political
science department.

chemistry and nutrition, visited
many of the undeveloped areas of
the world last year. He said that 46
per cent of the world's non-Com-
munist population live in these
areas.
"In Asia, home of famines,
there is still gross starvation. It
is almost impossible for us to
understand the threat of famine
which stalks these people," Prof.
Darby continued.
Describing the primitive camel-
drawn water-wheel - "the Egyp-
tian version of our TVA" -- the
squallor of the adobe huts and the
"human beasts of burden," Prof.
Darby emphasized the problems of
water, sanitation, and transporta-
tion in these areas.
He also mentioned lack of re-
frigeration and processed foods,
"the piling up of villages" and
shocking illiteracy, as factors
which add to the plight of peo-
ple throughout Latin America,
Africa, and Asia.
"Industrialization, improved
farming, sanitation, and transpor-
tation, are the only solution to
this problem," the professor em-
phasized.
