Prof. Brater Predicts More
Michigan Erosion Damage

By HELENE SIMON
Unique bedause more than half
of its members are without a coun-
try, the Ukrainian Students Club
is the youngest foreign group on
campus.
The club has rapidly grown since
it was organized by three Ukran-
arines Open
Program to
Law Students
Law, students are now eligible to
enroll in the Marine's Platoon
Leader Program, according to
Captain Lester E. Veigel of the
Naval Sciencerdepartment.
The program, originally open
only to undergraduate students,
would assure students deferment
from the draft while in law school.
The only training requirement
is a two-summer stretch at Marine
training bases.
The first would be in Paris
Island, South Carolina, where a
grade of corporal is, granted.
Quantico, Virginia, would be the
scene of the second summer's ac-
tivities, where the student would
be promoted to sergeant.
Upon graduation, the student
is assured a three month delay
before induction in order to
take the bar examination.
No assurance can be given that
legal duties will be assigned upon
induction although there is a need
for students with legal training in
the Marine Corps, Captain Veigel
said.
The captain also announced
that women are eligible to apply
for the Women Officers Training
Class, which would also involve
two summers spent in training,
both in Quantico.
All women students interested
in the program may see Captain
Veigel in North Hall.
Naval Recruiters
To Visit Campus
A Naval Aviation Cadet pro-
curement team from the Naval
Air Station at Grosse Ile will visit
the campus today.
The two-man team, headed by
a recently returned Korean vet-
eran, will interview prospective
candidates for NAVCAD flight
training.
Interested upperclassmen and
graduate students may speak to
Lt. McNamara between 10 am.
and 4 p.. In the Union.

ian students last October. It now
numbers 14 members - eight
Ukranians, five Canadians and one
American of Ukranian descent.
None of the Ukranian students
wish to go back to their native land
as long as it is dominated by the
Soviet Union, president of the new
club Zinowij Melnyk, Grad., said.
WHEN THE GERMANS occur-
pied Ukrania, they deported young
people to Germany to work. After
the allied liberation the Soviet Un-
ion began high pressuring the de-
portees to return to the countries
under the shadow of Russia, ac-
cording to Mykola Dumyk. "Many
committed suicide rather than re-
turn," he said.
The eight University students
who now belong to the Ukran-
ian club managed to avoid the
return trip to the Soviet Union.
They either spent the days after
the liberation in displaced per-
sons' camps or in a Ukranian
school in Germany.
Those who refused to return- to
the Soviet Union lost their citizen-
ship and are now, stateless. How-
ever, they are in the process of
becoming United States' citizens.
This group of students with no
country to truly call their own
banded together to promote the
culture of the Ukraine and inform
Americans on conditions behind
the Iron Curtain.
"Americans do not realize
what it is like to live in a coun-
try that is under the influence
of the Soviet Union," Melkny
said. There is one secret police-
man to every 15 people and no
one can trust his neighbor," he
continued.
"Ukranians take a great pride
in freedom. We have always re-
sisted those who have tried to
occupy our land," Dumyk said.
Although all the members of
the Ukranian Students Club ex-
press the desire to return some-
day to their homeland, they all
firmly feel that day will never
come until the Ukraine is free
from the dominance of Russia.
Auditor Suggests
Anthrax Campaign
LANSING--(MP)-The possibility
that the "Little Legislature" could
help finance a campaign against
anthrax in Michigan was suggest-
ed yesterday by Auditor General
John B. Martin, Jr. "

An increase in erosion damage
to Michigan's Great Lakes shore-
line was predicted yesterday by
Prof. Ernest F. Brater, of the hy-
draulic engineering department.
Professors
Get Awards
The Fund for the Advancement
of Education has awarded fel-
lowships to three University facul-
ty members.
Professors Benjamin F. Bart,
Jr., Morris Greenhut and Robert
J. Lowry of the romance lan-
guages, English and botany de-
partments respectively were the
recipients.
The awards were started last
year shortly after the fund was
created by the Ford Foundation.
The fellowships provide for re-
search bearing directly on the ef-
ford to improve teaching by
broadening the teachers' under-
standing of their own or related
fields.

Basing his statement on a two-
day study of the Lake Michigan
coast made with Dale W. Grang-
er, engineer on the State Water
Resources Commission, Prof. Bra-
ter said that the state may be due
"for a cluster of high-water
years."
From research on the water
levels of past years Prof. Brater
said that "Peak levels ought 'to
come more freqeuntly in the future
than in the past. It is quite pos-
sible that levels could stay up for
two to four years more."
* * *
IN VIEW OF this pessimistic
outlook, he emphasized the need
for the continuation of research on
the laboratory level.
Prof. Brater has conducted con-
siderable research on erosion caus-
ed by high water and winds, both
in tanks on campus and in the
field.

"United States foreign policy,"

everything else is incidental to
that."
Taft further cited the need for

Historical Papers
Presented to 'U'
A chronological history of the
movement t~o make Isle Royale in-
to a national park has been pre-
sented to the University's Michi-
gan Historical Collections by the
Detroit Times.
The collection contains letters,
newspaper clippings and photo-
graphs concerning the history of
the isle from 1885 to Aug. 27, 1946,
when it was dedicated as a nation-
al park.

control of the air as the No. 1
priority.
During a heated question-and-
answer period following his talk,
Taft reaffirmed his praise of Sen.
McCarthy and the House Un-
American Activities Committee.
His view that "McCarthy's proj-
ect in dramatizing the danger of
Communism to the State Depart-
ment was a worthy public service"
met with mixed audience reaction.
And his emphatic belief that
the "Un-American Activities
Committee has done the great-
est service to this country that
any committee has ever done"
brought strong objections along
with acclaim.
In answers to other student
questions, Sen. Taft was in favor
of developing government flood
control projects within "reason-
able expense," but opposed to con-
tinuing Voice of America broad-
casts under present plans.
** *
LOCAL TAFT supporters had
an opportunity to meet the GOP
Presidential hopeful at a lunch-
eon in the League following his
speech. In his post-luncheon re-
marks he again emphasized that
the real issue in the campaign is
"less government and less control
vs. more government and more
control."
At a Lansing speech immed-
iately following his Ann Arbor
appearance, the energetic sen-
ator echoed his demand that
U. S. air power be given "No. 1
priority" in order to protect
America's "liberty and peace."
Taft attacked present military
policy for what he called "an old-
fashioned obsession for ground
warfare." Together with present
domestic policies, continuation of
present military practices threat-
ens the United States with both a
depression and socialism, he said.
The Senator left Michigan last
night for Massachusetts.

Ilegoal Meat
Dealer Held
Ann Arbor police picked up Sey-
mour Schiff, an official of the
National Corn Beef Co. of Detroit

out a city license.

a combined Police and Health De-
partment drive against illegal
meat deliveries by unmarked
trucks. The Detroit company's
truck was not marked.

license charge in municipal court
Tuesday, Schiff was released on
$15 bond to appear for sentencing

bore inspection stamps. Health
Department officials were check-
ing yesterday with Detroit author-
ities to find out if the firm is
properly licensed.

Dinner. Honors
Quad Scholars
Much pomp and little circum-
stance marked the annual West
Quadrangle Academic Honors Din-
ner last night.
Following the tradiional chick-
en and after dinner speeches,
85 West Quad residents were pre-
sented with cum laude diplomas
for earning academic averages of
3.5 or over the past semester.
Featured guest speaker, former
University president Dr. Alexander
Grant Ruthven told the group of
administrators, professors, house-
mothers and honor students that,
"Everything I am I owe to Allen-
Rumsey House." He stressed 'the
importance of a well rounded edu-
cation.
Dean Erich A. Walter read a
poem by Franklin P. Adams and
a prayer pointing out the im-
portance of watching against
"unkind words and unkind silen-
ces." Dean Walter applied the
"unkind silences" to lack of
student participation in class-
room discussions.
Charles E. Recker was awarded
the annual Donald Joel Brown
Memorial prize for scholarship,
citizenship, and leadership.
Several faculty members spoke
