PAGESIX THE MICHIGAN DAILY TUESDAY, MARCH 29, 1955 MEET HER IN ST. LOUIS: 'Ensian Job Ends for Pizza Fan Lubke By JANE HOWARD "Let's see," she mused, "what would be characteristic?" While the photographer waited she struck up various poses around the Michiganensian office -but none seemed quite right. For Etta Lubke, '55, just finishing her stint as the yearbook's managing editor, it's not easy to hit on one "typical" pose. Although she treats it lightly, Miss Lubke's University career has been followed with interest and admiration by a large segment of campus. Roughly, the senior Eng- lish major has divided her years here between the 'Ensian office, different League positions, includ- ing a Soph Cab Central Commit- tee job, and offices in Gamma Phi Beta sorority. Didn't Have To Be Taught Asked what drew her to the 'Ensian, the Scroll honorary mem- ber' recalled that somebody pulled her into the yearbook office while she was enroute to a Daily tryout meeting-and she's been there -ever since. She thinks the job has taught her "problems of disorganization," and something about getting along with people. But at this point her friends interpose, asserting "that's something Etta doesn't need to be taught-it comes naturally." Often found at a typewriter or with pencil in hand, Etta has con- centrated on literary pastimes, and hopes someday to hold down a ma- gazine position. She admits she has "whipped off some poetry"- part of which won her a freshman Hopwood award, but can't name any , particular favorite authors. "I change every day," she explains, "like Austin Warren." Ice Creamh and Anchovies It's traditional, she adds, for her 'Ensian staff to celebrate its dead- lines with ice cream - gallons, and gallons of it." A confessed de- votee of food, Etta admonished "don't forget to mention pizza. Love it. How? Mit anchovies. Love anchovies." This all started, she explained, when somebody gave her an Ital- Faculty To Honor Top Law Students Outstanding law school seniors will be honored at a banquet at 6:30 p.m. today in the Union. The law faculty will commend the top students for high scholas- tic achievement and service, and the Order of the Coif will be awarded the top ten per cent of seniors 'graduating in June. A number of students will also de named to the Michigan Law Re- view, a monthly legal magazine published by students. Members are picked by the Jaculty for out- standing grades and ability. -Dally-John Hirtzel ETTA LUBKE ... "mit anchovies" ian cookbook-and developed, at one point, to her cooking pizza for a crowd of 80. A poster, with the caption "Meet Me in St. Louis" dominates the apartment she shares with Becky Conrad, '55-reminding , friends that Etta isn't forgetting her na- tive city, or one of its major in- dustries. ("One of my biggest dis- appointments," she says, "was not being here for my 21st birthday"). Travel, Music, Watercolors San Francisco also appeals to the slim editor. She might like to work there, "gazing pensively. out into the fog," and definitely plans to travel through the United States. Europe? "Don't believe in it," Etta says: "see America first." A Western trip last summer in- spired strong interests in the work of her "biggest, pet peeve: photog- raphers." Another time-consum- ing pastice, she notes, is knitting: "Argyles, made to order for any occasion." Her friends have -more to say about Etta, in some areas, than she herself'tells. "She can play a mean piano," one associate point- ed out-and Miss Lubke herself confesses a love for Dixielanl- "probably because of my East St. Louis upbringing." She also "whips off a watercolor now and then," and is considering staying on here next summer to begin work toward a master's de- gree in Fine Arts. Although she's' been credited with a minimum of idiosyncracies, Etta claims she has a "strange compulsion to wake up, invariably, at 7 a.m."-no matter when she's gone to bed the night before. She sees a few signs of un- just paternalism in the Univer- sity, but the outgoing editor is quick to conclude, on the whole, that "it's been a good parent: I've been extremely happy here. Adams Tells Platform for Regents Post .'When the loyalty of a faculty member is questioned, action is the responsibility of the Board of Re- gents alone," Paul L. Adams said Sunday. Outlining his position to the Re- gency, the Democrat candidate for the Regent post explained, "Man is entitled to fair treatment and shouldn't be prejudged by any group." Adams said that the Regents could and should consult the fac- ulty in such cases but emphasized that it was the Regents' sole re- sponsibility. On the education problem Ad- ams told an open house gathering at the home of Prof. Richard Boys of the mathematics department that the University should be "ag- gressively active" in meeting this challenge. Saying the University has been too conservative in the past, Ad- ams hoped to "inject a progressive approach and have the University move out to areas neglected in the past." Cadets Staff Lookout Post AtopU nion (Continued from Page 1) by the townspeople who were al- ready keeping watch during a good share of the daytime. It meant that one of the most strategic times, from the standpoint of pos- sible enemy attacks, would now receive a complete staff. As this writer talked with Wuerthner, who is enrolled in the Russian studies program, he was amazed at the organization of the system. All planes within an approxi- mate five-mile radius of Ann Ar- bor are spotted and vital informa- tion is then phoned into Grand Rapids filter station. At the time the post was being manned by a local businessman, one of a grow- ing number of conscientious resi- dents who devote two hours a week at the observation post. At 7:55 last night, the observ- er picked up the phone, dialed "Operator" and spoke an almost magic word, "aircraft flash." Speedy Relay Within sceonds, he was talking to Grand Rapids and relaying to the civil defense operator the in- formation on the plane. "One ... unknown. .. low.. . no delay ... (Code name of the Ann Arbor post) . . . south . . . three mioes " . flying west." Wuerthner estimates that three minutes is the maximum time it takes from the moment the plane is spotted until the information is relayed to Grand Rapids. At Grand Rapids, the plane is immediately charted and is check- ed with previous reports or flight charts. If no planes are mapped within a 10 mile corridor of the spotted plane or within 5 to 10 minutes of the spotted planes schedule, "scramble" alert is is- sued to the nearest et intercep- tor base. Ready for Inspection Within 10 minutes from the time the unidentified plane was spotted, fighters are in the air and ready to do closer inspection eqiupped with rockets. Wuerthner said that this lo- cal post probably spots about four or five unidentified planes a week which necessitate "scramble" calls. Asked why these cadets take time out from their sleep to car- ry on these generally unrecognized and unappreciated duties, Capt. James Heckman, faculty adviser for the cadet GOC "In their Air Force courses, the cadets quickly learn to appreciate the swift de- struction that can come through the air. Right now, they can do something tangible to prevent that destruction happening here." -Daily-Esther Goudsmit TWO DANCE interpretations will highlight half of the Third Lab- oratory Playbill at 8 p.m. tomorrow and Thursday. In the scene above from 'Those Who Wait," are Alice Kent, '56, Jean Isaacson, '55, Rosemary Scanlon, '57, and James Stasheff, '56. Together with two one-act plays, the performances will be held in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theater. The playbill is offered by the speech and the women's physical education departments. The Choreographer's Workshop has supplied the dances for the works. The first is based on Prof. Marvin Felheim's lyric poem, "They Who Wait." The verse notes the feelings of the universal soldier as he goes off to war. An interpretation of an old legend, "Why Chinese Boys Have Short Names," is the second dance fare. The Chinese legend follows a family's son to his death by drowning because it takes too long for would-be rescuers to give his lbng name; hence the title. Directors from the Workshop for both dances are Prof. Esther Pease and Jeanne Parsons of the women's physical education depart- ments..Scenery and lighting were created by Peter Wexler, '58AD. On the prose half of the program, students will perform in Luigi Pirandello's "Sicilian Limes," an Italian peasant comedy. The second short play is Phillip Moeller's "Helena's Husband," based on the old Greek legend of Helen of Troy. Reserved student tickets for both performances are on sale at the Lydia Mendelssohn box office. Future of Atomic Energy Discussed by U.S. Scientist (EDITOR'S NOTE: The bombs have grown bigger and bigger since thatI summer day when the first was ex- ploded in the secrecy of desolate New Mexico. Has science gone as far as it can? Is the H-bomb the end? Here is a profile of a man who was in on the first A-bomb, and has seen all the awesome developments since.) By RELMAN MORIN LOS ALAMOS, N.M. (k)-It is less than 10 .years since history's first atomic bomb exploded, and less than three since that mighty weapon was surpassed in power by the far more terrible "H." What comes next? "The problem of military appli- cation is not necessarily confined to making big bangs." Thbe man who was speaking would say no more about what- ever is taking place today behind the walls of the scientific labor- atory at Los Alamos. That's all he could say. Dr. Norris E. Bradbury is the di- rector of the laboratory. He is one of the "few determined people," as a colleague put it, who kept Los Alamos from disintegrating some years ago-a little-known chapter in the strange and terrifying story of the great weapons race with Russia. He came in at the beginning of that race. Where does it stand today? Bradbury is a man of guarded language. He says he can give on- ly a personal opinion which is: "this country is indeed ahead, and well ahead of the Russians." As research drives ahead at Los Alamos and other centers, new weapons will emerge, and new avenues to weapons will be opened. For obvious reasons, nobody now is likely to describe the forms they may take. However, as Bradbury says: "the problem of military application is not necessarily confined to making big bangs." Does this mean - that weapons other than bombs or warheads are in the making? Is a future enemy likely to be hit by thermonuclear radiation without first having heard a "big bang?" If so, how much will they be used in the event of a third world war? Such a conflict is not easy to en- vision. The great weapons have never been used in actual combat. The explosions at Hiroshima and Nagasaki-mighty as they seemed at the time-cause only a faint flicker toward the instruments of the future. Nobody can say, with full precision, how the techniques of war have been bent into totally new shapes. A consensus of military, political and scientific sources, however, shows these points 1. If war comes, the great wea- pons will be used. Britain's Field Marshal Montgomery has said in an analysis: "we certainly would use them ourselves, if attacked." 2. At the moment, there is no complete defense against a hydro- gen attack. In the ancient race be- tween offense and defense, the lat- ter is well behind. 3. Hence, both opponents will be hurt, and badly. 4. The weapons race will go on. Dr Edward Teller, one ofthe chief architects of the H-bomb, has written: "We may be led to think that this accomplishment is some- thing ultimate. I do not believe this is so." Bradbury said he sees a point of diminishing returns in the use of the great weapons in combat. "If you have a bomb that will destroy 10 cities, there isn't much point in exploding a thousand such bombs. There aren't that many vital centers to destroy." But even if your enemy did have 10,000 vital centers, could you risk H-bombing all of them in any short period of time? The problem of poisoning the atmosphere with radioactive particles, and having them come home in "fall-out" might very well arise from such an attack.

U.S. MILITARY STRENGTH AND THE COUNTRIES WE ARE COMMITTED TO DEFEND THROUGH VARIOUS DEFENSE PACTS. Overseas Bases Back U.S. Pledge to Treaty Allies; Defense Department Posts Military Statistics By RAY HENRY Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON (P-The great- est network of overseas bases the world has ever known backs up United States' pledges to defend treaty allies. The Defense Department lists its total overseas military installa- tions at 950, maintained at a cost of more than 600 million dollars a year. They are manned by some 1,400,- 000 men-almost half the total strength of American armed forces -and are about evenly divided be- tween Europe and the Pacific area. Security prohibits pinning down exactly how the armed forces are denloved. and a full list of the in- equivalent of six divisions in Eu- rope, and the 6th Fleet patrols the Mediterranean with about 25,000 men and 40 ships. Four divisions of troops are inI the Far East, three of them Army and one Marine. They are backed up by 14 Air Force wings flying from 20 bases and the powerful 7th Fleet, now standing by in the Formosa area. Other large units are located in such strategic areas as Hawaii, the Marshall Islands and Midway in the Pacific; Saudi Arabia, Tripo- li and French Morocco in the Near East and North Africa; and Puerto Rico, Cuba and Panama in the Caribbean. The 2nd Fleet has asl America shall be considered an at- tack against them all" and that they would use armed force, if necessary, to "restore and main- tain the security of the North At- lantic area." Original members were the United States and Italy, Portugal, the United Kingdom, France, Denmark, Canada, Nor- way, Belgium, Iceland, Luxem- bourg and the Netherlands. In 1952, Greece and Turkey joined the alliance. The Rio Pact-Signed in 1947, this treaty commits the United States to repel any Communist at- tack on Greenland, Canada, Mex- ico or any of the. 20 nations of Central and South America. (Formosa), and the Philippines. Although different in language, the intent of all is the same: The U.S. will fight to keep them free. In 1953 the United States signed a 20-year "aid-for-bases" agree- ment with Spain, classed as an ex- ecutiv agreepnent and not as a treaty. The United States is not committed in writing to defend Spain, but the presence of Ameri- can forces there amounts to a form of commitment in fact. Aldrich To Speak On Mental Health WeAUM NAoMm
