THE MICHIGAN DAILY Student Senate RepreseLts All Men, Women Campus Vote Determines Nine Po1icy-Formers War Staff Is Created The Student Senate is the only student governing body on campus that represents both men and women and is chosen by unrestricted elec- tion. Streamlined last spring, the organ- ization now consists of nine Sena- tors who form the policies of the or- ganization and an administrative staff who carry out the policies. The former Senate was made up of 30 senators. The main aim of the Senate is to accelerate the student war effort and the Senate War Staff acts as coor- dinator for campus war activity. Made up of 44 members the board is willing to aid any organization make a success of programs for the war effort. Specialized committees within the War Staff will be formed so that ser- vices will be more efficient. Any freshmen or sophomores interested in the work this staff is doing are invited to work. The Daily will an- nounce meetings for the war staff later. Jim Landers, president of the Sen- ate, said, "Any individual, organiza- tion or group may feel free to pre- sent any justified complaint on any phase of University life to the Sen- ate and we will consider it." Elected in April for one year terms the Senators select administrative di- rectors who in turn name commit- tees to work on different projects:. the selling of defense stamps, labor conditions on campus and the Sen- ate's relations with other campus or- ganizations. Any freshman, sophomore, junior or senior, providing he has an eli- gibility card, may be a candidate for office. Former activities of the Sen- ate were the mid-winter parley, the sale of defense stamps, and the orig- inating of student loan funds. Senators are Jim Landers, presi- dent; Elaine Spangler, secretary; Lewis Saks, Bill Ager, Dick Orlikoff, Glen Taylor, Bill Loughborough, erman Hudson and Sid Brower. Ad- MIinistrative directors: are Harry Bayer, Milan Cobble, Betty Willging, Phyllis Knoell, John MacKinnon and Richard Rawdon. INSPECTORS TO CRACK DOWN LANSING, Aug. 13. -(P)- The State Department of Agriculture's foods-and standards inspectors have been ordered to crack down on vio- lations of sanitary regulations by temporary and permanent eating places. 1~ ew PlanDefers Students Engaged Law Progran ---i Will Continue In Specialized And Scientific Fields .. . For Duration , Co-ops Offer Rooi, Boa rd At Low Rates Economic living and -ncrete ex- Quartermaster Corps Opened Practical Arny Business Experience Offered President Alexander G. Ruthven has given full support to deferment for students engaged in specialized and scientific fields, characterizing such action as "of great importance to universities throughout the coun- try." His statement was issued following the release of a bulletin from Brig.- Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, director of Selective Service, which recommend- ed such deferment for students who have completed two years in these fields or have begun graduate work. The bulletin suggested an addi- tional 60-day deferment beyond graduation in order that students "may have an opportunity to engage in a critical occupation in an activity necessary to war production or essen- tial to the support of the war effort." Grad Students Eligible Graduate students are recommend- ed for deferment if, in addition to pursuing their regular studies, they are acting as "graduate assistants" or are engaged in scientific research valuable to the war effort, provided such research is supervised by a rec- ognized Federal agency. Chiefly engineering positions are listed as those recommended for de- ferment. Aeronautical, automotive, chemical, civil, electrical, heating, ventilating, refrigerating, air condi- tioning, marine, mechanical, mining and metallurgical including mineral technologists, radio, safety and transportation engineers are in- cluded. Recommended Deferments Other positions on the recom- mended deferment list are: Accoun- tants, chemists, geophysicists, indus- trial managers, mathematicians, me- teorologists, naval architects, person- nel administrators, physicists includ- E C c x I t c ing astronomers, psychologists and statisticians. Not on this new list although still eligible for deferment, are students of agriculture, bacteriology, biology,. agricultural engineering, cartogra- phy, hydrology, osteopathy, phar-I macy and physical education majors.I It is not certain, however, how long these exemptions will exist because of their absence from the new list. Promising Psychology .Majors Deferred By Selective Service Psychologists are needed in war work; therefore the Selective Service is deferring promising juniors and seniors who are majoring in psychol- ogy. Adequately prepared men in this field are in constant demand by the government. For this reason, the University plans to give the training needed in present and future courses. Coordin- ated programs are being arranged with other University departments in order that students may obtain the essential psychological background for occupations directly connected with the war effort. Most branches of the armed ser- vices and some other government de- partments use psychologists. Work done by these men includes examina- tion of draftees both before and af- ter induction. They attempt to place the draftee in work he is tempera- mentally and practically suited for and to eliminate those who are unfit for military service. Special work is being done by psychologists for the Army and Navy Air Forces and in the intelligence sections. Advanced students working for their masters degree in clinical psy- chology have an opportunity to gain practical experience working in the Psychological Clinic of the Univers- ity. This clinic deals with children, high school seniors, students and other adults in an attempt to bring about a better understanding of indi- vidual problems and difficulties. The Clinic gives examinations testing a person's abilities and disabilities and gives vocational guidance advice. In addition, psychological work should be valuable training for the, rehabilitation period that will follow the war. 10 Language Clubs Plan Fall Program Outings, discussion groups, and dances are included in the programs of the Foreign Language clubs again this fall. The ten active clubs which meet regularly at the International Center were organized for the purpose of en- abling students whose parents are of foreign birth to have an opportunity to associate and participate in var- ious projects. The clubs meeting this fall include a South American club, Chinese, Japanese, Philippine, Arabic, Turk- ish, Slavic, Finnish, Polish and Ar- menian clubs. The Foreign Language clubs that meet at the Center are only those which are not connected with a lang- uage faculty in the University. Many projects are planned by each individual club, and there are as well joint projects which include the In- ternational Ball, war relief work, and alumni relations. The projects, which are jointly sponsored, are under the direction of the Inter-Club board consisting of representatives from each of the For- eign Language clubs. Congress has recently appropriated a five million dollar loan for the pur- pose of helping students in physics, engineering, pharmacy, medicine and dentistry. Any student who is within two years of completing his courses or is enrolled in an accelerated pro- gram may borrow up to 500 dollars a year or 1,000 dollars total. Spread over the junior and senior years, this will amount to tuition and 35 dollars per month. The only condition on the govern- ment loans is that the student must sign an agreement to go into war work at the direction of the War Manpower Commission when he completes his college courses. The loans are to be repaid to the govern- ment through the University at 2 / per cent interest. Michigan HopwoodI Winners, Students See Wrrork hIPrint' Summer and fall months have proved to be fruitful ones for the publishing of poetry and novels by Michigan students and former Hop- wood winners. "Nearer the Earth,"' a novel of a woman 's coming of age, by Beatrice Borst has been sent to Professor Roy W. Cowden. A° Hopwood winner of 1941, the novel will be on sale at book stores August 21. Random House is the publisher. Maritta Wolff, already famous au- thor of the Hopwood winner "Whistle Stop," will have another book pub- lished by Random House. Originally titled "Grave Yard Shift" the novel was changed to "Night Shift" by the publishers because movie producers who are interested in the book said the public wouldn't like- the original title in lights. "Genesis Again," a poem by Vir- ginia French, 1941 major Hopwood winner in poetry, has been published in the August Atlantic Monthly. "Each Alone," a novel by Harriet Ball, graduate student at the Uni- versity of Michigan last year, capi- talizes on the idiosyncracies, the life, and problems of the Vigtor family. Published by Harper & Bros., the book.is.now on sale at various book stores. Activities To Be ConductedI As 'sua' ept a z Enrollment Of School Although the enrollment in theT Law School will be reduced below ' normal by the war service of law students. all of the regular Law Schcol programs and activities willI be conducted as usual for the dura-I tion of hostilities. The usual courses1 will be offered. although certain ex- tra sections normally available ini some of the larger courses are beingi eliminated. All of the related activities such as the Law Review,, the Case Clubs. and1 the Lawyers Club, will operate inI normal fashion. Rigorous and comn- plete training in law is as essential for those who graduate in war time1 as under normal conditions. A satisfictory school enrollment is expected, although the uncertainties caused by the demand for soldiers under the Selective Service Act make a numerical estimate impossible. Practically all law students are col- lege graduates, hence they have reached the age of eligibility under the Act. Moreover, large numbers of them have enlisted in various bran- ches of the service. The Judge Advocate General's De- partment of the United States Army has recently accepted an invitation to establish in the Law Quadrangle its training school for the Army's legal advisers. The officers in this school will be quartered in the Law- yers Club utilizing space not needed, because of reduced enrollment, by the regular law students. These officers will all be members of the bar who have been engaged in active practice of the law for a minimum of four years. They will be law students in a highly utilitarian sense since they will receive training in the special legal problems of the Army, including court martial pro- ceedings. Their presence will not in any way interfere with the regular activities of the School or the Law- yers Club. It is deemed fortunate that in a period of reduced enrollment of reg- ular students the facilities of the University suitable for training law- yers can be utilized to train the legal officers of the Army. BUDGET PLANS MADE LANSING, Aug. 13.-to)-Mindful that state revenues for the next bi- ennium will be sharply affected by wartime economy, state fiscal offi- cials have begun considerations which lead to the development of the 1943- 45 budget. r f t 1 1 1 C t t 1 1 f C t I perience in dem ocracy- this is the u d ie I oi iU[t hey cienc aLtm e thU combination which the eleven cam- dents of military scicnc at the Tni- pus cooperative houses offer their versity a chance to prepare for serv- members. ice in the business branch of the Founded in the midst of America's Army, the ROTC recently founded a worst depression. the cooperative campus unit of the Quartermaster movement at the University started with just one house-the present Corps.
