lin, he has observed the trial of
leaders of the Third Reich, many of
whom he had known personally dur-
ing their rise to power. His book,
"What About Germany," was used
by the American prosecutor in the
Nuremberg trials because it con-
tained words and plans of the Nazis.

spondents to leave Germany after the
war started, and one of the first to
return after hostilities ended, spent
15 years in Berlin observing German
and European developments.

year Nov. 21 will speak on "Air Pow-

The Freshman Rendezvous, which
will be held on September 14 and 15,
is the traditional means of ac-
quainting freshmen with the Asso-
ciation. When not holding the Fresh-
man Rendezvous, the Association has
held open house for freshmen during
orientation week.
Religious music seminars, seminars
on social and political problems fea-
turing outstanding leaders in their
fields, coffee hours, and Saturday
luncheons have become a traditional
part of the association's weekly pro-
gram. Last semester was highlighted
by a seminar on "Religion and the
Community."
The religious music seminar con-
sists of the presentation of excerpts
from the world's foremost religious
music played on records. Analyses
and comments by the director of this
division are also a regular part of
the program. These programs are not
designed primarily for music majors
but for students with a layman's in-
terest in m'usic.
Coffee hour, held each Friday, pro-
vides opportunity for a purely social
afternoon following the week's work.
Students are invited here to famil-
iarize themselves with the program
of the SRA and to meet and know
other students interested in the As-
sociation.
Students attending the Saturday'
lunch have the opportunity to get'
acquainted in a more informal set-
ting. A simple lunch is followed by
discussion which arises from the
group.
Performing a vital economic func-
tion and responding to the need for s
development of inter-racial under-
standing, campus cooperative houses
continue for the thirteenth year tc
operate under the principles evolved
in Rochdale, England, a century ago
Campus Co-op houses were first
organized in the depths of the depres-
sion and were the means by which
many students were enabled to re-
main in school. By renting a house
and doing their own food-purchas-
ing, cooking, and cleaning they were
able to effect great savings.
For Men and Women
Today there are five cooperative
houses on campus, three for girls
and two for men. They have banded
together to form the Inter-Coopera-
tive Council (ICC), which serves a
the executive organization for the
group. The Council meets semi-
monthly to formulate long-range
policies and thrash out immediate
problems.
The physical set-up at the various
houses is much the same as that
developed by the hardy pioneers who
introduced the plan on campus. In
each house a president, a treasurer
and various other officers are elected
by the house members. House work
is apportioned equitably among the
group. House meetings are called at
frequent intervals to discuss matters
that arise in the day-by-day process
of running the house.
Group purchasing has long beer
an important factor in campus co-
operative economy. By integrating
their menus and pooling their pu
chases co-ops have been able to e
fect the savings inherent in mass bu
ing. An ICC purchaser studies t
food situation and plans a buyir
program which will yield the ult
mate in nutrition, palatability ar
economy.
Social, Educational Programs
Apart from the purely functior
aspects of co-op life, there is a wel
ing together of the entire gro
through a series of social and ed
cational programs. Discussions
which all co-opers gather are fi
quently arranged by a special con
mittee delegated for that purpose
Prominent guest speakers are oft
invited to co-op suppers. They r
main to lead forums on various a
pects of co-op life. Social gathe
ings are another feature of co-op 11
Buffet lunches are served and the
is usually some dancing.
The Michigan cooperative hous
pride themselves on the comple
absence of racial or religious bias
the organization, and in co-ops, t
day, the members are of many rac
religions and creeds. When a n
student applies for membership
ther as a boarder or a roomer in c
ops, the personnel committee judi
:aim solely on his merits as an inc
idual.
The criterion for admittance is I
newcomer's ability to adjust hims
to, and to add to the efficiency
the organization. The succesful c

WHERE ALL CREEDS MEET:
Special Welcome for Students'
Planned by Churches in Fall
Bringing students together in an
inter - denominational atmosphere,
the Student Religious Association at
Lane Hall has a varied weekly and
annual program.
Student guilds and regular Sunday
worship services of Ann Arbor
churches, willehave a special wel-
come for all new students during the
fall term..
Approximately 30 religious groups
are established in Ann Arbor and
have able leaders to help the new-
comer in his educational, spiritual
and social life.
Dr. Blakeman Is Counselor
The University counselor in reli-
gious education, Dr. Edward W.
Blakeman, is available for consulta-
tion daily in his Angell Hall office
for all students regardless of religious
affiliation.
Guilds are maintained by a num-
ber of churches which offer varied
programs on Sunday evenings. Dis-
cussion groups, lectures by Univer-
sity professors, and outstanding visit-
ors to the campus, classes in religion,
as well as social events are planned.
Whether Protestant, Catholic or
Jew, the new student will be sure to
find a religious group with which he
has something in common.

that interested government agen-
cies might send engineers and of-
ficials to Willow Run for training
in airport design and construction.
A test cell for experimental work
on aircraft engines will be set up at
Willow Run by the Department of
Mechanical Engineering, Prof. Ran-
som S. Hawley, chairman of that
department said. Such a test cell
would be too big and dangerous to
incorporate with regular laboratory
procedure here on campus, he ex-
plained. "We would also like to carry
on automobile road tests," he said,
"and tests on jet propulsion engines
and gas turbines at Willow Run."
The Department of Chemical and
Metallurgical Engineering would like
to carry on some high pressure ex-
periments, lubricant tests and other
research projects at Willow Run, Dr.
George G. Brown, chairman of that
department said.
Prof. Roger L. Morrison of the
Highway Engineering and Transport
Division of the Department of Civil
Engineering said that his division is
considering a course in ar trans-
portation.
Insight Accents
Serious Issues-
Insight, Michigan's youngest pub-
lication, is one of the few serious
magazines published by students on
an American campus, according to
its editor, Bob Carneiro.
Established last spring to present
articles of interest and concern to
the student body, Insight has con-
tained an expose of "Racial Discrim-
'ination at Michigan," a descriptive
feature on the life of the commuting
veterans living at Willow Village, and
articles on the Student Legislature
when that group was inthe process
of being organized last semester.
In keeping with a policy of high-
lighting one controversial subject in
each issue, Insight has published
articles pro and con on the frater-
nity-sorority question and on re-
livion.
Williams Guild at the First Baptist
Church, Wesleyan Foundation at the
First Methodist Church, Gamma Del-
ta (Lutheran Student Chapel) at the
New Lutheran Chapel and student
center, the Lutheran Student Associ-
ation, the Congregational-Disciples

Club are Wednesday evening, lec-
tures and discussions of particular
interest to Catholic students, and
Friday evening social get-togethers
which offer dancing, entertainment,
games and refreshments. In ad-
dition an annual formal ball is spon-
sored by the Newman Club.
The spiritual advisors of the group

Club is Arthur (Pat) Barkey. There
are two vice-presidents, one male
and one co-ed. Aiding them is an
executive committee of ten students
who are assigned specific tasks and
