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 Daily-Dick Gaskil 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. Jones Heads Group The local group promoting the Soo Locks Movie Will Be Shown The color motion picture "The Locks of Sault Ste. Marie" will be shown at 7, 8 and 9 p.m. March 21 in Auditorium A, Angell Hall. Produced by the Audio Visual kEducation Center as part of the University'secontribution to the Soo Centennial, the 30 minute film covers the history of the locks and their importance to our national welfare. There will be no charge for ad- mission. Over twenty sparkling blue lakes can be seen in a glance from the t twin observation towers of the Irish Hills near Detroit. project is headed by Volney H. Jones, president; Jacques Les- Strang of LesStrang Associates Advertising, executive vice-presi- dent; Stanley G. Thayer of the law firm Thayer and Crawford, secretary; and Stephen J. Filipiak of radio station WHRV, treasurer. Several other groups have been formed which are promoting the memorial project. Among them is the Indian Capital Memorial Com- mission which has been formed in New Mexico to assist the local men in attaining their goal, and a national advisory board of which President Emeritus Alexander G. Ruthven is a member. Dressmaking, Alterations and Repairs for appointment Call NO 3-3294 * Daily Classifieds Bring Quick Results * i - I.. 11 A. M.
