Ike Boom Is Fastest Moving Thing In Politics
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower just about took the brakes off the movement yesterday. He avoided the direct issue raised by entry of a slate of delegates in his behalf in the Mar. 9 New Hampshire preferential primary.
Washington, Jan. 13-(UP)-The Ike-for-President boom looks today like the fastest moving thing in American politics.
Announcement that an Eisenhower delegates slate had been entered in New Hampshire was followed promptly by endorsement of Like by Sen. Charles W. Tobey, R., N.H.
mary.
Unless the general takes himself out shortly in no uncertain language, he will be in the pre-convention campaign for the Republican presidential nomination to stay and to win or take a licking. He won't be able to control it himself.
"For some time," said Tobey, "he has been giving serious thought as to which man of the several possible candidates for the Republican nomination is best qualified to lead this nation in this time of great crisis. I have come to the conclusion that Dwight D. Eisenhower is that man."
With the issue raised so directly a number of Washington political experts believed like would be smoked out on some definite statement, perhaps removing himself from politics beyond recall.
But Ike passed it over with a statement through army public relations that he would not comment on New Hampshire developments. His spokesman said Ike previously had said he wanted nothing to do with politics and had not changed his mind.
By the time Ike's New Hampshire backers get through with that statement it will sound like a 100 per cent endorsement of their efforts in his behalf. It certainly was a long way from a repudiation.
Student - veterans planning to transfer to either schools should get the proper Veteran Administration forms now.
The V. A. said that veterans could speed receiving subsistence checks after transfer by following these four important steps:
Vets To Transfer Need VA Forms
One. Obtain a certificate of satisfactory progress from the institution they now attend or attended the first semester.
two. Get a supplemental certificate of eligibility from the V. A.
Three. Request the V. A. office now holding their records to send their files to the regional office having jurisdiction over the new school.
Four. Notify the V. A. of their new mailing address.
A new program got under way Monday in the School of Education when juniors and seniors majoring in education met with their advisors and outlined all courses for the remainder of their University careers.
New Program In Education
Enrollment of education majors is expected to be greatly facilitated by this system since each student will know in advance the subjects he wishes to take.
The program is designed to make it possible for each junior and senior now enrolled, and each beginning junior in the future, to know exactly what courses he must take and when to take them. Adjustments in schedules are to be made, with the approval of the advisor, to meet individual requirements and conflicts.
Dr. F. O. Russell, associate professor of education, made a study of all courses and the semesters in which they should be offered. His work made possible the individual analysis upon which the program is based.

Graham Admits $6,000 Profit By Speculations
Heretofore, Graham had insisted to newsmen that "frenkly, I lost my socks" in commodity dealings.
Washington. Jan. 13—(UP)—Brig. Gen. Wallace H. Graham, the White House doctor, admitted today that he made a net profit of $6,165.25 on commodity speculations.
But today, Graham told the senate appropriations subcommittee investigating speculation that his broker's agent had invested his money in commodities in an effort to help him overcome a $11,012.86 loss in securities.
He said he accepted "full responsibility" for the commodity transactions.
Referring to the charge by Harold E. Stassen, Republican presidential aspirant, that he did not make full disclosure in his statements to the press. Graham contended that his error had been a technical one.
Graham, in his press statements, had said that he had ordered his broker to close out his commodity holdings Oct. 7 after Mr. Truman's bitter criticism of commodity speculators.
This, Graham added, reduced his
loss to $4,847.61.
He admitted to the subcommittee that after that date, Oct. 7, he held cotton and cottonseed oil "with some losses and some gains." He added:
It is the responsibility of universities and colleges to do everything possible to help staff members become better teachers, Lloyd S. Woodburne, associate dean of the College of Literature, Science and Arts at the University of Michigan, said Monday.
Dean Woodburne spoke at a special meeting of the University faculty. In this field most colleges in the country are getting started, the dean said. They are trying to help their teachers—particularly the younger ones—to better themselves.
Help Faculty Dean Says
The dean said that Michigan's program consists of:
1. Evaluation by teacher's colleagues.
The student evaluation of teachers is not primarily to point out their good and bad points, put to find out what the teachers are lacking and where they can be helped, the dean explained.
3. Evaluation by administrators in the demarments.
2. Evaluation by students.
Dean Woodburne is making a survey of administrative management under a grant from the Carnegie corporation.
