Versatile -'Seep'
Will Be Shown
In Ann Arbor !
Military Police Will
Demonstrate Prowess
Of Amphibious Jeep
Amphibious kid brother to the
famous Jeep, is the versatile "Seep,"
which will be demonstrated in Ann
Arbor when the Military Police bat-
talion invades the city Monday, Aug-
ust 23.
The Seep may denonstrate its
prowess by riding the waves of the
Huron river as well as roads during
the sham battle that is scheduled at
the golf course during the evening.
Official Army books catalog the
Seep as "A One-Quarter Ton Am-
phibious," with a land speed of 65
miles per hour and a water speed of
8 knots per hour.'
The 3,200 pound Seep is actually a
Jeep with a special body built upon
its frame, and equipped with bilge
pumps and a special cooling arrange-
ment.
It has a small winch at the bow
and a movable build-up prow, while
the propeller and rudder are set just
back of the rear-end differential.
The change for two or four-wheel
drive to propeller is accomplished by
throwing a transfer lever.
The Seep's rudder is manipulated
by the steering wheel and requires
no change-over as the automobile
leaves the land and takes to the wa-
ter. The car draws about 30 inches of
water,
The three soldiers who become
"sailors" when the Seep leaves the
road need have no fear about losing
their life if the "ship" is capsized,
for life preservers are provided in the
form of cushions on the seats.
After the Seep has been in the
water for ten hours the wheels have
to be repacked with grease. Other-
wise, the rugged littile land-lubber-
seadog can chug along on its merry
land-and-sea way without missing a
turn.

CAP To Enlist
Aviation Cadets
In Union Lobby
Information Booth Will
Aid in Meeting Quota
For Air Force Pilots
An information booth for the en-
listment of aviation cadets will be
open from 2 to 4:30 p.m. tomorrow
in the Union lobby, manned by mem-
bers of the Civil Air Patrol here.
Designed to help the CAP toward
its quota of the enlistment of 6,000
Army Air Force pilots by the end
of the month and 80,000 by the end
of the year, the booth will also re-
main open from 2 to 4:30 p.m. Tues-
day, Wednesday and Thursday.
Although no definite quota has
been set for local aviation enlist-
ments, the CAP here intends to do
"as much as it can toward filling
the nationwide quota," Mrs. W.
Carl Rufus, personnel and pub-
licity officer for the local CAP, said
yesterday.
Enlistment in the Army Air Force
is open to men between 17 and 26,
who have been citizens of the United
States for a period of at least 10
years.
Men 17 years of age must have
written consent from their parents.
Those more than 17 years of age
must have letters from their draft
board stating that they have not
been called for induction.

Talks to Three
JAG Classes

Company A's choral concert thisl
Sunday at Hill Auditorium won't be
limited strictly to vocal offerings.
A glance at their program shows
three instrumental numbers and a
dramatic monologue in addition to
the fifty man choir's varied reper-
toire.
Here are a few thumbnail sketches
of the men who will perform.
Pvt. Kurka to Solo
Private Robert Kurka from New
York City, who will play Brahm's So-
nata No. 2 in A Major on the violin,
has followed a bright musical trail
in his twenty years.
He gave his first concert at the
age of fourteen, and since then
has appeared, in recitals at Town
Hall and many other Gotham mu-
sic centers. He won a contest to
appear with the Yonker's Sym-
phony and has been active at the
celebrated Pittsfield, Mass. music
colony. Private Kurka has also
done composing.
Kurka's piano accompanist on the
Sonata will be Private Otto Graf.
Well known to many Ann Arborites,
particularly faculty members and
students, Graf was assistant profes-

or of German at the University be-
fore entering the Army. He studied
nusic both at the Detroit Institute of
Musical arts and at Michigan, and
has done radio and concert stage
work in Detroit and New York.
Private Graf has been connected withE
the University since 1929 when he
entered as a student.
Running Will Give Piano Solo ;
The third instrumental soloist is
Private Joseph Running, a young;
man with an extensive musical back-
ground. Private Running, who will
do a piano solo in Sunday's concert,
was formerly an instructor in music
at Stanford University, as well as
assistant organist. In his undergrad-
uate days, Running was connected
with the St. Olaf College choir, and
served as assistant director of that
group. He has studied under Olga
Samaroff Stokowski in Philadelphia
and has appeared in many parts of
the country.
Last soloist on the program is
twenty year old Robert Cohn froni
Seattle, Washington, whose talents
run along dramatic rather than
musical lines. Private Cohn has
been connected with the theatre
as far back as he can remember,
inheriting his Thespian skills from
his mother. His forte is classical
drama, and he has handled many
Shakespearean roles in his young
life.
However, his latest appearance was
in a thirteen week run of "Arsenic
and Old Lace" at the Showboat The-
atre in Seattle, just prior to his don-
ning the khaki a few months ago.
Cohn to Do Shakespeare Selection
Sunday, Private Cohn will do a
short monologue from Shakespeare's
"Richard the Second," taking the
role of John of Gaunt, with the
chorus as a background singing "God
Save The King."
Bill Sawyer's orchestra will also
appear in Company A's concert, be-
lieved to be the first of its kind ever
presented by a soldier musical group.
The orchestra will provide accom-
paniment on several of the numbers.
Sawyer has been directing the chorus
on the average of three hours a week
for the past few months.
USO Dance To
Be Hel Today
The last opportunity for women
enrolled in the summer session to
entertain the servicemen stationed
on campus will be from 7:30 p.m. to
9:45 p.m. today, when the University
USO dance will be held in the Grand
Rapids and Kalamazoo Rooms of
the League.
"Everyone seemed to have a won-
derful time last week," Nancy Up-
son, '44, said yesterday. 'There were
lots of girls and they really got into
the spirit of the dance. They cut in
and asked the boys to dance instead
of making the boys do it all."
Expressing the hope that many
more women would attend in re-
sponse to the fun last week, Miss Up-
son announced that there would be
dancing in the Grand Rapids room
as always.
Bureau To Open Monday
According to Mary June Hastrei
ter, '44, head of the Bomber Scholar
ship Acquaintance Bureau, the bur
eau will not be open this week, bu
will reopen next week. However, th
bureau will continue to arrange cok
dates for those already registered
