In the midst of confusion over
e two joint proposals,, Washte-
aw County voters defeated a
.an for an 11,700 acre park sys-

tem.
Two proposals were on the bal-
lot, one to be voted onnby prop-
erty owners only. Both had to
pass for the park system to be
approved.
The first proposal (for proper
ty-owners only) was to levy a
special, quarter-mill county-wide
tax f& 10 years to finance the
park system. It was defeated 6,-
615 to'6,542, a 73 vote margin.
The second proposal was to
raise the 15-mill limitation so the
extra tax 'could be collected. It
passed, 7,593 to 7,390.
City residents strongly favored
the. issue while rural voters op-
posed it.


Confusion arose, however, over
the location of the two proposals
on the voting machines. An an-
nexation question concerning the
City of Ann Arbor and Scio
Township appeared between the
park proposals in those two
areas, and consequently voters
had difficulty straightening out
the issues.
The, Scio annexation was de-
feated by residents of the area
in question. Voters in three sub-
divisions-Scioto Hills Number
Fne, Dexter Avenue Hills, and
'Evergreen Little Farms - dead-
locked 36-36 on the question,
barring its passage, while Ann
Arbor residents approved it, 4,-
840 to 1,528.
The proposal needed favorable
votes in both areas to pass.
Total voting in Washtenaw
County fell far below the state-
:wide average, despite better than
average turnouts in the two cities
-Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti.
Only about 16,875 of the 80,259
registered voters in the county
turned out. This.was 21 per cent,
compared to a 25 per cent average
across the state.

During the last fiscal year, 160
social science research projects
were among the over 1,000 research
projects carried on at the Uni-
versity.
Researchers probed from the
confines of the schizophrenic
mind, to the breadth of national
economy in their studies of the
behavorial sciences, education,
humanities, public health, and
social studies.
According to the 39th annual
report of the University Researeh
Institute, $26 million was spent
on projects for private industry,
governmental and military units,
as well as science and education
in general, with the total expen-
ditures for sponsored research
during the year amounting to
$22,356,850.,
"Four hundred ninety seven
members of the teaching faculty
participated in research activities
supported by outside funds," the
report states, and 1,748 students,
of whon 1;028 were graduate stu-
dents, were employed in sponsored
research programs.
Behavioral Sciences . .
Members of the psychology de-
partment and' of the Mental
Health Institute of the University
Medical Center headed the list
of those studying the behavioral
sciences.
The members of the psychology
department studyed such problems
as personality dynamics, motiva-
tion and psychological measure-
ments. A five-year study of schiz-
ophrenia in which the Ypsilanti

State Hospital is cooperating was
administered by the MHRI.,
Psychologists at the Cooley
Electronics Laboratory surveyed
various phases of the learning
process and the Institute of
Science and Technology projects
included investigations concern-
ing battlefield surveillance.
Education.. .
An observational study of class-
room behavior and methods of
assesing and improving the ef-
fectiveness of college teaching
was conducted by members of the
education school and the psy-
chology department.
Members of several educational
units cooperated on a project con-
cerning the measurement and
evaluation of the effects of phys-
ical environment on the teaching-
learning proces in school build-
irigs, the report stated.
The public health school is con-
ducting basic research on possible
virus origins of "cancer and on
other diseases known to be of
viral origin, such as influenza.
Some of the work is being done
in the school's Bureau of Public
Health Economics and the affili-
ated Institute of Industrial Health.

Unit Returns

Army Service
In accordance with the recent
step-up in U. S military activities,

tivated in May, 1959. The men
have , attended three summer
camps in Granite City plus weekly
two hour meetings in Ann Arbor,
Lt. James N. Snaden, the unit's
executive officer, and a University
student said.

gram will consist of sixteen weeks
in training. After this period it
