HONORS PROGRAM:
Ethics, Polities, Essays

To Make Students Think

+ G UIIFD NIE\/S

(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the sec-
ond of two articles on the College
Honors Program.)
By FREDI WINTERS
The College Honors Program in
Liberal Arts, established in 1939,
will have as its fall topic, Ethics
and Politics.
Students in the course will study
intensively a few books which set
forth the relationship between
ethics and. politics. In this man-
Stuttering Is
Fear Reaction,
Moore Says
Keeping the stutterer from
fighting himself is the chief prob-
lem in his treatment, Prof. Wil-
bur Moore, of Central Michigan
College of Education, said Wed-
nesday, discussing the stutterer at
the education school's summer lec-
ture series.
The stutterer usually needs large
quantities of acceptance and un-
derstanding from the group with
which he is associated, Prof. Moore
explained.
Most manifestations of stutter-
ing are reactions to the fear of
mental blocks, he asserted. Remov-
ing the conflict situation, reducing
conflictual drives or motives and
preventing too much reliance on
the doctor are three phases of
proper treatment of stutterers,
Prof. Moore said.
Stuttering may be corrected in
a short time or it may be a long
process, he stated. The cure of
the stutterer depends on the in-
dividual and the factors creating
the conflict determine the length
of time it takes t6 cure him.
State Educators
To Confer Here
More than 2,000 educators are
expected to attend the 19th annual
Summer Education Conference on
"The Expanding Role of Educa-
tion," July 12-16.
The conference, which is to be
sponsored by the education school,
will include 65 speakers from the
University and school systems
throughout the state, according to
Dean James B. Edmonson, of the
educational school.

ner an introduction to the major
approaches of the field is given,
and the student is better able to
develop his own thinking.
The Honors Program offers
qualified juniors and seniors a
chance to study some of the im-
portant subjects at the basis of
human thought independent of
departmental requirements, and
in small groups with a tutor.
B or Better
To qualify, a student should be
beginning his junior year in the
fall term, and must have a B or
better average. Five hour credit
is given for the Honors Seminar,
and students in the grogram are I
also required to take additional
courses including Bible, political
theory and philosophy.
An oral examination is given at
the end of each semester and pa-
pers are written during the term.
A written examination, covering
all fields studied during the two
years is given at the end of the
senior year.
Honors Essay
An Honors Essay on some topic
suggested by the student's reading
is also written during the second
semester of the senior year, in con-
stant consultation with the tutor.
The essay enables the student to
integrate his two years of study.
Speak Low,*)
SpeakWell
People should be more careful,
even pedantic with their enuncia-
tion in order to overcome fuzzy
speech, Prof. G. E. Densmore, of
the speech department, believes.
"We think that other people
are hearing what we hear," he
said.
He pointed out that a lower
pitched voice is more easily heard
than a high pitched voice and that
"we have a tendency to pitch the
voice too high in order to raise
it above competing noises.
Speaking at the speech Work-
shop for School Secretaries and
Clerks, Prof. Densmore declared
that none of his students ever
recognized his own voice when
played back over a wire recorder.
This is because the speaker hears
his voice through bone construc-
tion.
About 175 Michigan secretaries
are attending the workshop.

Lane Hall will have its Sal urdiv

BATTLESHIP NFXV YORK TURNS BOTTOM UP-The 34-year-old battleship New York turns
bottom up in the Pacific off Pearl Harbor after eight hours of air attack and light shelling during
weapons tests. The New York had survived two wars and two atomic blasts at Bikini. She started
to roll shortly after surface ships completed firing hundreds of rounds of three and five-inch
shells. As she turned turtle 14 planes roared overhead and released five-inch rockets and 500
pounders which hit squarely on the New York's upturned keel.

Committee To
Plan for Ciub
The psychology depaitment will
achieve a two-fold goal this
summer with the coming meetings
of a committee for the formation
of an undergraduate psychology
club.
The need for an organization of
undergraduate psychology stu-
dents has long been pointed up
by the Psychology Colloquium, a
graduate group which has carried
out a well balanced program of ed-
ucational and social events.
16 Chosen
A committee of sixteen students
has been chosen from among the
volunteers. Meetings to make
plans to begin the operation of
the club this fall will begin on
July 19
Meanwhile, the committee itself
has received a great deal of at-
tention from the Conference Re-
search Project, a group sponsored
by the Navy to learn some of the
social and psychological factors
operating in administrative con-
ferences. The researchers plan to
make a comprehensive study of
the committee.
Full Information
Having provided themselves
with complete information about
the personality and background of
each of the committee members,
the research group will then at-
tend all committee meetings to
observe each individual's behavior.
With the information gained
from this study and many other
similar observations, Conference
Research hopes to learn just how
people with various types of per-
sonality may be expected to be-
I have in conferences such as com-
mittee and board meetings.

By JOHN NEUFELD
Many a University student may
think of Bloemfontein, South
Africa, as a farm colony in the
Veldt, reached after a weary sa-'
fari over the Lonesome Bush
Trail.
But Prof. Freeman D. Miller of
the astronomy department ex-
plains that the University's La-
mont-Hussey Observatory was ac-
tually established there because of
the civilization found nearby.
Three There
Yale, Tarvard and Michigan
all have observatories in that
part of the Union of South Africa,
Harvard's outpost being quite
close to our own. For observation
of the Southern skies, observa-
tories below the equator are need-
ed, and South Africa was found
not quite as lonely and hard to
reach as some of the high altitude
regions of South America.
Bloemfontein, capital of the
Orange Free State, is 750 miles
from Cape Town, 4,500 ft. above
sea level, and an educational cen-

ter in its own right, housing the
University of South Africa.
New Telescope
The Lamont-Hussey Observa-
tory was in the news recently be-
cause of a 1012 inch refractor tele--
scope that is being made ready for
shipment down there. The tele-
scope will leave Mt. Wilson, where
is is currently located, probably
by September and is e:pected to
be needed in South Africa for
three years.
The project is a cooperative
venture of the University and Mt.
Wilson Observatory, the latter
loaning the telescope and the Uni-
versity providing the funds.
As compared with Mt. Wilson's
own 100 inch scope, the new tele-
scope is small, but that is not con-
sidered a disadvantage in the spe-

cialized work for which it was de-
signed. It photographs large sec-
tions of sky, using big glass plates
and a specially ground lens.
Observer Announced
The University has announced
that Karl G. Henize will serve as
observer to carry out the work in
South Africa on the 12 inch
telescope. Prof. Rossiter is the
permanent University faculty
member down there. He has done
important work on double stars,
Dr. Miller says that the project,
professionally known as Faculty
Research Project R 192, will be
mostly exploratory. No theories
will be tested, but rather the as-
tronomers will try to see further
into space and collect data on
stars invisible from here.

Playing a "prank" on the city
police cost one scholar a five dol-
lar bill and a penny.
David Learner, 725 Haven, a
University student, was fined $5
by Acting Municipal Court Judge
Ledrue Davis after he pleaded
guilty to a charge of violating Ann
Arbor's parking meter ordinance.
Learner had dropped a penny
in an expired parking meter after
a police officer had just ticketed
the car beside the meter for over-
time parking.
Learner told police lie did it
"Just for a prank."
