VOL. 37—No. 131 Defense Course Open To Liberal Arts Graduales Liberal arts graduates may en roll in production engineering, one of the two government-spon : sored national defense training courses that will be repeated at the .College beginning June 11, Clarence E. Bullinger, head of the department of industrial en gineering, disclosed yesterday. The course, which will con tinue through 16 weeks, is open to . students with a minimum of two years of college work, and also to persons who have gradu ated from accredited four-year schools and who in addition, have commendable industrial experience. Tuition fees will be paid by the government. • One of the features of the en rollment makeup of the new course is that it will be available •to unplaced liberal arts gradu ates who show technical inter ests. "No job guarantee will be given these students who com plete the course, but many, of them should find placement in the present under-supplied - in dustrial field," Professor Bullin ger said. Several changes will be intro duced into the repeat course as • compared to the one just com pleted. The enrollee quota has - been increased from 30 to 32. Professor Bullinger also empha sized that industrial relations will receive less stress and more time will be devoted to shopwork and inspection. Of the 31 original enrollees in ,the 'first- production, •engineering _ course, seven dropped out to ac- • cept jobs before completing the course. Of the 24 who completed the work, seven had jobs lined up before graduation, and six others had promising contacts. Diesel engineering, ,the other of the two defense courses, was scheduled to begin its repeat ses sion yesterday. However, the Diesel course was open only to 25 Naval Reserve Officers who, when they complete the work, will be qualified to accept posi tions as officers on Diesel-oper ated Naval vessels.'
