Army Plans
To Place All
ROTCMen
All qualified Army ROTC grad-
uates will be commissioned, an-
nounced the Department of the
Army in a new plan for calling to
active duty ROTC graduates to be
commissioned between May 1 and
Sept. 30 of this year.
Entry of the commissioned offi-
cers into active duty will be phas-
ed so that approximately 6,800
7 will be called between July 1, 1955,
and June 30, 1956, and approxi-
mately 7,900 between July 1, 1956,
and June 30, 1957.
Meet Requirements
As far as branch authorizations
and limitations on total officer
procurement permit, branch re-
quirement must be met during the
next two government fiscal years,
It is possible that all graduates
of a particular branch may be re-
quired to enter active duty in the
first year because of high require-
ments for that branch. This would
apply to General Military Science
graduates allocated to that branch
as well as to branch material gra-
duates.
Each officer will attend his
branch basic course as his first
duty station. Accordingly, active
duty quotas will be' established
throughout the two year periodto
coincide with the capacity of the
service sclools to absorb these of-
ficers.
Quotas Still Met
Within quotas to be announced,
graduates may volunteer for month
of entry into active duty. Month-
ly branch quotas must be met,
however. This will mean, in gen-
eral, that approximately one-
twelfth of the officers to be called
to active duty during a year will
enter the service each month.
Merit of the program, as an-
nounced by Department of the
Army, is twofold: (1) it will allow
those who wish to continue their
studies for a year or more the
time required to qualify for high-
er degrees; (2) it will allow those
who wish active duty at an earlier
date an opportunity to indicate
themonth desired.
The Department stresses, how-
ever, that students will not neces-
sarily be permitted to enter on
active duty in the exact month of
their choice.

PROF. ZUMBERGE
Inscriptions of Pen-Testers
Reveal Hidden Personalities

By JANE HOWARD
Book store owners have a unique
way of analyzing customer's char-
acters.
That's the consensus at the
stores on State St., where a brief
two-day survey was conducted of
the things people write first when
they're trying out fountain pens.
And the results, while providing
scant material for anybody's psy-
chological thesis, are interesting.
Paper Restrains Customers
"There's something about a fresh,
staring piece of white paper," ac-
cording to one pen salesman, "that
makes people feel restrained. Give
a kid a pen to try out and he al-
most never writes what's really on
his mind-he obviously pauses for
a few seconds to think what he'll
write."
"Usually," he added, "they
choose a safe line that wouldn't
incriminate anybody-like 'Uni-

versity of Michigan,' or 'this pen
scratches'."
Another store owner distinguish-
ed sharply between male and fe-
male pen customers. "The girls,"
he smiled, "seem to think there's
something disgraceful about seeing
their names written in public, ev-
en on a bookstore scratch sheet.
"If they've unconsciously scrawl-
ed their names, in trying out the
pens, they make a careful, meti-
culous effort to scratch them out
-as though they'd be blacklisted
for life if anybody saw their
names."
Males Are Duller
"But for boys," he said, "it's a
different story. They usually write
dull stuff about the pens them-
selves-nothing very telling."
A handful of scratch sheets,
kept for reference in one day's
pen-selling in a bookstore here,
revealed what may be untold hid-
den wishes on the part of the cus-
tomers. One slip of paper was cov-
ered with the notation "Pike's
Peak"-probably written by a
wanderlust-affected male, while
another bore the interest note
"U.S. Mint" - repeated several
times.
One pen customer, obviously a
music student, covered a sheet of
paper with part of a song score,
complete with treble clefs.

FOUNTAIN PENS REPAIRED

By ETHEL KQVITZ
"2 first became interested in ge-
ology working on an Alaskan
highway as a dishwasher in a
structure camp," Prof. James H.
Zumberge, of the geology depart-
ment said.
Prof. Zumberge, who has been
teaching elementary and glacial
geology at the University for five
years, plans to go to the Univer-
sity of Minnesota in February for
one semester.
"I'm going primarily to teach
and do research," he said.
Ice Studies
Prof. Zumberge and Prof. James
T. Wilson have been doing re-
search on the strength and other
)roperties of lake ice for the past
four years.
They are investigating how ice
behaves when stretched or put un-
der a load and what use man can
make of it.
"Minnesota has better ice con-
ditions for research than Ann Ar-
bor," Prof. Zumberge commented.
"While the ice in Ann Arbor sel-
dom exceeds one foot in thickness,
Minnesota's is much thicker."
He has done a great deal of re-
search on glacial geology. Work
for the government recently took
him to Greenland to examine lake
ice four feet thick.
Matter of Degree
"When I got off the airplane, I
asked .one of the air force men
the temperature. He said it was 20
degrees. I didn't realize until aft-
erwards that he meant 20 below.
Since it's always below zero there,
they just say 20."
When he went to the arctic por-
tion of Alaska to do research, Prof.
Zumberge said he was fascinated
by the lack of trees. Miles and
miles of barren wasteland was
something he had never seen be-
fore.
Prof. Zumberge received his de-
grees from his own state school,
the University of Minnesota. He
also studied at Duke, Colorado,
and, for one semester, here.
Prof. Zumberge and his family
will return to Ann Arbor by July
1. On August 1 he will go to the
University's field camp in Colo-
rado. In September he will be
teaching here again. I

ciliation, will include a panel dis-
cussion on "The United Nations
and Africa," following Rev. Hous-
er's morning address.

political science department will

OPENING FRIDAY 8:15 P.M.
THE DRAMATIC ARTS CENTER
a professional arena theatre

Effectiveness of natural science
courses is the subject of a ques-
tionnaire Literary College seniors
will be asked to complete.
Part of a study being conduct-
ed by a literary college faculty
committee, the questionnaire will
be distributed to seniors with their
registration material. The stu-
dents are asked -to complete the
forms and return them after reg-
istering.
Possible Changes
Students will be asked to decide
whether present courses meet the
Literary College catalogue purpose
of "providing an understanding of
and practical experience in scien-
tific methods of description, clas-
sification, analysis, experimenta-
tion, and presentation of evidence."
Present requirements call for
students to elect 12 hours of work
in specified courses in the natural
sciences. These 12 hours must be
taken in at least two science de-
partments'and include one two-
semester sequence in a laboratory
course.
Questionnaires will be tabulated
and answers used in aiding an ad
hoc Natural Science Study Com-
mittee, composed of one represen-
tative from each of the science de-
partments, to make suggestions to
the literary school Curriculum
Committee.
Faculty To Decide
Suggestions from the Curricu-
lum Committee must be voted up-
on by the college faculty before
final decision is made.
Any seniors who have already
picked up their registration ma-
terials, but who have not received
the questionnaire, may obtain one
at the Registrar's Office in the
Administration Building.
