AIR, SEA DUTY:
Capt. Bond To End 34 Years in Navy
Future Coed Enrollment
Leads to Housing Survey
By DICK SNYDER
As a guest during a recent din-
ner at Martha Cook, Capt. Charles'
A. Bond was greeted with the in-
quiry, "Are you a real sea cap-
tain?"
"At the time I thought this
highly humorous," the command-
ing officer of the University's,
NROTC said. "Later I began to
wonder whether or not I was a
'real sea captain.'"
Sees More Air Duty
Though, Capt. Bond has been
in the Navy for more than 30
years, only one-third of this time
has been spent in actual on-ship
duty. Remarking that perhaps "air
captain" would be-a more appro-
priate title, he recalled his 20
years of Naval aviation duty. He
still is an active aviator, flying a
Twin-Beach regularly each month.
Capt. Bond started his career
in the Navy at the urging of his
sister. Giving up his plans to be-
come an architect, he was encour-
aged to apply for admission to the
Naval Academy in 1921.
Four years later he graduated
from Annapolis and was assigned
to the battleship California. "Fall-
ing in love wherever he went," he
visited Australia and New Zealand.
Gets Equator Treatment
He labeled crossing the equator
as one of his most painful experi-
ences in the Navy. "They painted
me with oil and lamp black, gave
me rotten eggs and lubricating oil
to swallow, shaved my hair and
practically drowned me in the wa-
ter. Otherwise, it wasn't anything
much."
During the Second World War,
he was in command of the USS
Bougainville. "We travelled peace-
fully over the Pacific and saw no
action at all. Apparently the Jap-
anese had heard we were coming
and were carefully trying to avoid
us."
Visits Antarctic
Capt. Bond's most interesting
experiences came as commander
of the Western Task Forces in
Admiral Byrd's 1946-'47 operations
in the Antarctic. "In fact," he

CAPT. BOND CATCHES UP ON THE NEWS
said, "my whole life could be
summed up in three phases: born,
got married, went to Antarctica."
He was particularly impressed
with the "naked, basic beauty of
the uninhabited region." The Cap-
tain also said that it gave him
quite a feeling to be a part of the
expedition photographing the last
unexplored geographic coastline in
the world.
Commands Airline
From 1951 to 1953, as command-
er of an airline. serving the per-
sonnel and cargo needs of the
Navy's Pacific fleet, he saw most
of the Pacific area with side trips
to Europe and Arabia.
Besides his training at the Na-
val Academy, Capt. Bond has also
attended the Naval War College
and the Navy's flight training
school at Pensacola.
$9 MILLION PROPOSAL:
Local Businessmen's Group
Promotes Indian Memorial
In his first visit to the campus
a year and a half ago, Capt. Bond
said he was "subtly reminded of
the difference between the mili-
tary and the educational mind. My
main extra-curricular activity has
been a study of the college pro-
fessor," he said.
Impressed With Faculty
Remarking that the students at
Michigan are very fortunate, he
said that he has been amazed at
the "extraordinary things the fac-
ulty can do. They are very human,
very practical and very little the
'ivory tower' type of personality."
His "biggest wallop" comes from
"just walking around the campus
meeting people, both students and
faculty." The Captain is also an
avid Michigan football and hockey
fan.
With the completion of his Uni-
versity tour at the end of this se-
mester, Capt. Bond will bring to an
end his 34 years of Navy service.
About his future plans for support-
ing his wife and three daughters,
he would only remark that he was
still "shopping around."
Cartographer
Positions Open
Various Federal agencies in the
Washington, D.C., area are in ur-
gent need of cartographers, ac-
cording to the United States Civil
Service Commission.
Applicants may qualify if they
have had four years of carto-
graphic experience or college study
with 24 semester hours in car-
tography, mathematics, physics,
engineering, astronomy, geology,
geography or geodesy. No written
test is required.
Further information is available
in the University Bureau of Ap-
pointments office.
A survey of women's dormitories
with an eye toward finding out
which rooms could best house an
extra girl is being conducted by a
special Association committee.
Working in conjunction with
Assistant Dean of Women Elsie
B. Fuller, Assembly's housing com-
mittee is looking for the best
method of fitting an increased
women student population next
fall into the space currently avail-
able.
They have already surveyed
Alice Lloyd Hall, Stockwell Hall
and Victor Vaughn. The criteria
for judging rooms has been size,
shape, placement of windows and
other considerations which would
affect living conditions, according
to Mary Jo Park, '56, Assembly
first Vice-president.
In some dormitories, Miss Park
said, it seems most feasible to con-
vert two single rooms into a suite
for three.
In some dorms students found
rooms that had been converted
this year from singles to doubles
Wa sltenaw
County Home
Plan Approved
Final plans for the Washtenaw
County Juvenile home were ap-
proved yesterday by the county
board of Supervisors.
The supervisors made no change
in the plans, as submitted by a
local architectural firm. The ar-
chitects will now call for bids on
the construction of the $110,000'
home.
Present plans call for a low bid-
der to be named at the April meet-
ing of the supervisors. Construc-
tion of the home should be com-
pleted within seven months of
acceptance, according to the ar-
chitects.
Designed to house 14.,juveniles,
the ranch style home was approv-
ed by the county's voters in No-
vember. Since 1952 Juveniles have
been taken to neighboring coun-
ties for detention, due to lack of
facilities.
Student Directory
Applications Open
Student organizations recog-
nized by the Board of Student
Publications can submit applica-
tions for the 1955-56 student dir-
ectory.
Contracts for the compiling and
selling, of the directory are effec-
tive for both the summer and fall
issues.
Applications are due March 22.
Student groups desiring further
information are requested to con-
tact the business secretary of the
Board.
or from double rooms into triples
with unsuccessful results, Miss
Park said.
The committee's job in some
cases, she explained, has included
rearranging every piece of furni-
ture in a room to see if an extra
chair or desk could be fitted in.
Assembly's housing committee
will meet at 3 p.m. today in the
League to review results gathered
thus far and discuss future plans.
State Voters
To Consider
Amendments
When Michigan voters go to the
polls April 4, they will be pre-
sented with four proposed amend-
ments to the state constitution.
Proposal No. 1 provides that the
conduct of all non-partisan pri-
maries and elections for judicial
offices be prescribed by law. It
would eliminate details now out-
lined in section 23 o% Article VII
of the constitution, allowing the
election rules to be set up by
statute.
Proposal No. 2 would add to the
qualifications of Supreme Court
and Circuit Court judges. It would
require them to be under 70 years
of age and licensed to practice law
in Michigan.
Proposal No. 3 would authorize
the state t oborrow up to =$100 mil-
lion to be used for loans to school
districts for purposes of construc-
tion and acquiring of sites.
Proposal No. 4 would set up a
four-member board of canvassers
for elections. It would change Ar-
ticle VI to take from the Board of
State Auditors its present function
of canvassing elections.
'Theratron' Unit
To Be Dedicated
Dedication of Alice Crocker
Lloyd Radiation-Therapy Unit in
Kresge Research Building has been
set for March 26.
Principal speaker will be E. L.
Beugher of the Atomic Energy
Commission who will talk on
"Medical Applications of Radioac-
tive Materials."
The unit houses "Theratron," a
$65,000 radiation therapy machine
which uses Cobalt 60.
Just below the mouth of the
Detroit River where it joins Lake
Erie, rests the steamer "Clarion"
with the strangest of sunken car-
goes: locomotives.
A group of local professional
and business men have recently
returned from their second trip
to the Southwest in the promotion
of a memorial to the American
Indian.
The memorial, consisting of a
giant 250-foot statue and memo-
rial buildings costing $9,000,000
will be located in McKinley coun-
ty, New Mexico, it was announced
yesterday.
The selected site is in the heart
of the Indian country; reserva-
tions abound in the area, and
more Indians live in the imme-
diate vicinity than in any com-
parable spot in the country. The
area stretches through the "red
rock country" which has long been
populated with Indians.
