Universities, colleges, and technical
schools throughout the country, organ-
ized as the Intercollegiate Intelligence
bureau, are giving valuable aid to the
government in the present crisis. At
the present time nearly 150 such in-
stitutions are co-operating in this
work. ,
Through questionnaires and like
means, the adjutants and committees
of the organization keep accurate in-
formation on file regarding students
and alumni so that upon request
names of men fit to serve the govern-
ment in any required capacity can be
sent. Four thousand men of special-
ized training have been thus placed at
important government war work re-
quiring-sjecialized training.
Commieree and Industry Aided
-Industrial and commercial establish-
ments are al o calling for help through
this bureau and their necessities are
nearly as great as those of the gov-
ernment.
Another important work of this or-
ganization is that of getting the boys
into business again, when they return
home. The Union offices in Europe
will co-operate with the bureau offices
here. The Union will register men
who are about to come home, and will
send their qualifications and desires
for the future to the bureau here,
which will try to have a place for them
when they arrive. Men forced through
disablement to enter new activities
will be given a prompt and good start.
To assist this work, plans are under
way to have a New York office of call
for the- convenience of the men when
they land.
Monthly Budget High
The budget of the bureau, in addi-
tion to a large number of volunteer
subscriptions, is $2,000 per month. Any
college, university, or technical school
may become a member of the bureau
by paying $50, $150, or $250, as it de-
sires.
It has been suggested by prominent
college men that the bureau may look
forward to a permanent -existence as
a co ordinatin organization for all
college employment bureaus.
SHIP YARD WORKERS' RESERVE
ORGANIZED BY GOVERNMENT T
Men To Be Sent For Service As Soon
As Accommodations Are
Provided
Washington, Jan. 15.--A plan for re-~
cruiting a volunteer reserve of 250,000
ship yard workers, was announced to-
night by the shipping board.'
The nTti will be. enlisted with tGW
aid of state councils of defense and
the labor department's employment
agencies. They will be sent to the
yards as fast as their services can be
utilized.
Approval today by the senate com-
merce committee of a bill appropri-
ating $80,000,000 for providing hous-
ing accommodations for ship yard
workers, led shipping board officials
to believe that the entire reserve may
be put t work before the end of the
year.
PLANKS WILL FE AVAILABLE
FOR APPLICANTS
THURSDAY
Men interested in the aviation
branch of the army will have the op-
portunity to talk with Capt. Paul 0.
Magoffin, president of the aviation
examining board a Detroit, in the
Athletic association offices of th
Press building, between the hours of
2:30 and 7 o'clock Thursday. Captain
Magoffin will answer questions rela-
tive to the aviation schools for officers,
and will have a supply of blanks on
hand for those wishing to enlist.
"Michigan men ar making a good
record in this service," said Captain
Magoffin, Tuesday, "I would like to
see how many Michigan men will be-
come officers."
Requirements
In regard to requirements for appli-
cants Captain Magoffin continued,
"Flyers are needed and all flyers after
training will receive commissions.
Men must be in excellent physical
condition, eyes perfect without the
aid of glasses; ears normal, and heart
and lungs normal. Attention is paid to
nose and throat, but such troubles, eas-
ily remedied, do not bar. It is not nec-
essary to be an athlete, but it is to be
normal. There is an especial appeal
to college men in this service."
No Observers Needed
No examinations are being made
at present for the balloon service or
for aerial observers. Flying is the
only °branch open. All men making
application should continue their pres-
ent vocations, whether at school or
work, until placed on active duty and
sent to aviation school.
Few Accidents
According to Captain Magoffin, the
elements of injury by accident are so
lowered by the scientific training re-
ceived and the general qualifications
demanded of the applicants, that sea-
soned flyers now believe automobile
'drivingto be accompanied by more
dangers.
"Airplanes will win the war," de-
clared the captain,."in the sense that
they play the essential part in the
strategic tactics as well as in active
combat. The man in the leather jacket
of the aviator is almost on a plane
with the knights of medieval times--
he has an unequalled chance to show
the stuff that is in him,"
Headed '07 Team
Captain Magoffin was graduated
from Michigan In 1908, He was captain
of the famous '07 football team, when
in the historic Penn game, Michigan
was scored on for the first and only
time all year. The captain was a lead-
er of the students in the fight to with-
draw from the conference. He ex-
pressed the opinion several days ago,
that, he believed that Michigan was
again in her natural sphere and that
the University would take the part
of leader, which she relinquished at
the time of withdrawal from the con-
ference.
