No action was taken, and there was no comment by members of the commission. An expenditure of $8,690,000 during the two years of 1921-23 is called for in the statement submitted yesterday by President Marion L. Burton and the Board of Regents to the budget commission of the state legislature at Lansing as the first step in a pro- posed six year building program for the University. With the estimate of expenditures was presented a survey of the pres- ent inadequate equipment and crowd- ed condition of the University, show- ing that unless its needs are met by' sufficient legislative appropriations it "must sacrifice its prestige and frank- ly concede that it cannot rank with the, other leading state universities of the middle and far west." Program Separate from Mill Tax The building program is entirely separate from the regular mill tax, and it is frankly stated in the request 'for the initial appropriation of $8,690,- 000 that it will be necessary for the Regents to ask the legislatures of! 1923 and 1925 each for $5,000,000 fort the completion of the program. The Regents are also compelled to ask for ' a revision of the mill tax law so that funds for the general support of the University, including salaries, Will meet the increased maintenance and living cost. President Burton and Shirley W.! Smith, secretary of the - University, turned the program over to Budget Commissioner Foote in Lansing yes- terday. Of the total of $8,690,000 ask- ed of the legislature, $7,490,000 is for buildings, including all equipment,1 and $1,200,000 is for the purchase of land. All campus ground and with one exception, every site now owned by the University are filled. There is an imperative need for more land at once, and wisdom demands that pro- vision be made for the unescapable needs of the coming decade. When' the University was founded the Re- gents of that day refused, as a gift, the space so badly needed at present. Lit College Asks for $450,000 The sum of $450,000 a year for two years is requested for building and equipping the first section of a gen- eral building for the College of Liter- ature, Science, and the Arts. For 25 years there has been no improvement in the material facilities of this col- lege, except in the sciences, yet 60 per cent of the total enrollment of the University is in the literary college. All of its buildings, save one, are more than 50 years old. Recitations are conducted in crowded, over-used, poorly lighted, and ill-ventilated rooms. Lack of proper consulta- tion rooms makes almost impossible a personal contact between teacher and pupil. The average high school is better equipped than this department, it has been found. For building and equipping a mus- eum, the legislature is asked to ap- propriate $45&,00 a year for two years. With hundreds of thousands of specimens, valued at $2,000,000, the Museum is at present housed in a building erected in 1882. This build- Jug is inadequate and unsafe, and collections are so crowded that speci- mens are deteriorating. There is an added risk of fire in the old struc- ture. To meet -the needs of the Engineer- ing college resulting form an increas- ed attendance of 100 per cent during the past decade, $750,000 a year for two years is requested for engineering shops and laboratories. The present LOST AND FOUND! Students who haverarticles which they found on Ferry field during the class games on Sat- urday, are requested to leave them at the secretary's office in University hall. After 60 days, if owner has not called and identified his property, the find- er will be given it back. SECRETARY OF THE Vj UNIVERSITY. building barely provides for 1,000 stu- dents, and many subjects have been dropped for lack of space. The work in arrears in the engineering shops is. almost equal to the capacity of the shops for an entire year. Physics Lab Crowded The physics laboratory, built 34 years ago, cannot properly accommo- date one-third of students and fac- ulty now using it, and the elementary work has been curtailed so that it could be crowded into the space avail- able. In advanced work there is'in- sufficient room for the equipment needed to keep pace with the growth of the science. Request is made for $400,000 a year forutwo years for build- ing and equipping a new physics lab- oratory. Having reached the point where the Medical school must either limit the number of students or else enlarge its facilities, an appropriation of $450,000 a year for two years is asked. In addition to caring for its own stu- dents, this school is further burdened with giving instruttion to students of the other departments. A grant of $175,000 a year for two years is asked in addition to the ap- propriation of $300,000 already made for construction of a model high school at the University. The sudden rise of building costs has rendered the construction of the school on the sum of $300,000 given by the legisla- ture of 1919. This building is planned to help meet the- demand for better trained high school teachers. The de- mand has become increasingly insist- ent during the past few years, and the University has been criticized by reso- lutions of school organizations throughout the state for failure to pro- vide such training. Michigan, first of American universities to establish a chair devoted exclusively to the train- ing of teachers, is the only state uni- versity that has not made sufficient provision for teacher training. Dent College Popular Beginning in October, 1922, the Col- lege of Dentistry will be forced to send 40 to 60 students, including res- idents of Michigan, to other schools for their senior year unless the sum of $200,000, available in the year 1921- 22, is appropriated for the construc- tion and equipment of an addition to the Dental building. Intended at the time it was built to have capacity for the graduation of 90 students each year, there were enrolled in this de- partment 126 students in 1919 and 111 in 1920. Several hundred from other states applied for admission. Request is made for $200,000 a year for two years for increasing the fa- cilities of the chemical laboratory, in- cluding both building space and equipment. In laboratories containing but 60 tables there are now frequent- ly enrolled from 70 to 90 students, with a seriously reduced efficiency of the teaching resulting from this over- crowding.

Manager Dallavo requests that all men who wish to try out for the American Legion game report at this time. Arrangements will me made in the near future to show under mounted glass some of the papyri which Prof. Francis W. Kelsey secured in Egypt last winter, although for the present they will not be shown to visitors or exhibited. The papyri will be mount- ed between sheets of glass and kept in cases specially designed to hold them, and in a room in which the temperature is constant. Many Papyri Frail As many of the papyri are so frail as to crumble almost at a touch, they will be photographed before they are edited and published so that the edi- tors can work from the photographs without having to handle the orig- inals. No other American university, and very few in Europe, possess a col- lection of papyri of so many pieces and of such importance. The earliest one is dated in the year of the Egyp- tian chronology, corresponding to 256 B. C., while the .most important are the astrological, magical, and Hom- eric fragments.. As a result of the publication of :hese documents more is known about the tax systems, government, econom- ic conditions, and the life of the Egyptian people from the third cen- tury B. C. to the fifth century A. D., than is known of any other folk of the ancient world and up to compara- tively modern times. Documents Buried in Mounds These documents were buried in the mounds covering the sites of the ancient Egyptian cities. Many were found in Herculaneum when that city was excavated. A few were bought from Egypt 100 years ago, but it was not until about 1880, after the British occupation of Egypt, that they ap- peared in any considerable quanti- ties. A large number have now been found, smoothed out so they can be read, and published by the Egyptian Exploration Fund and by. numerous universities and libraries in Europe. Professor Kelsey was aided in se- curing this extraordinary collection by Prof. B. P. Grenfell of the British museum, the greatest living expert on papyri. "FARITH" TOPIC OF MORRISON LECTURE BURTON TALKS &N COLLEGE FRIENDS Declares Men of Today Must Religion In Service and in Living - Seek' University. dress Associations Toples of Ad- to Freshmen at Last Assembly COMBINED MEN'S AND WOMEN'S GLEE CLUBS RENDER ANTHEMS "The pathway to faith is to be found in life, in service to your fellow man. From no amount of cold reasoning can a man arrive at a definite conclu- sion about his faith one way or the 'other," said Dr. Charles Clayton Mor- rison, editor of the Christian Century, in his University Union Services ad- dress in Hill auditorium Sunday night. "Life Brings Faith" Speaking on the subject, "The Pathway to Faith," Dr. Morrison brought out the fact that true relig- ious faith is not to be arrived at by anything but through life itself. He opened his discussionwith an account of a book written by an eminent Ger- man philosopher a century ago, which in two complete arguments in the same space conclusively proved and conclusively disproved the existence of a God. "In the resultant stir in German philosophic circles men wondered how a man could by the employment of pure reasoning produce such absolute- ly contrary conclusions on the same subject," said Dr. Morrison, "and for many the result was a total darkness and a loss of faith of any kind." Following his argument down through to the present day, the speak- er ended with a strong, conclusive statement that "men must seek relig- ion in service and in living." Foster Reads Scripture The scripture reading and prayers were given by Allyn K. Foster, na- tional director of student work in the northern Baptist convention. The com- bined men and women's Glee club sang the anthem and Mr. William Wheeler and Mrs. Wheeler of the School of Music sang a duet. EarltV. Moore of the School of Music was at the organ. The service was in charge of Don- ald J. Porter, '21. DETROIT TO DO SHARE IN FOREIGN WAR RELIEF WORK Ringing church bells and scream- ing fire department sirens will usher in the great gift week of the Detroit Community Fund drive ,for $500,000. Four thousand men and women are enlisted in this drive and started out Monday to bring it to a successful conclusion. URGES MEETING OF STUDENTS FROM ALL PARTS OF COUNTRY President Marion L. Burton chose "College Friendships" as the subject of his last talk to the class of 1924 in Hill auditorium yesterday after- noon. "College friendships are sig- nificant from the standpoint ofrtime, space, common experiences, charac- ter and personality," he said. Al Here on Same Basis "Friendships formed at this time are significant because you are all here on the same basis. The space to which your activities are confined brings you into closer contact with each other and the experiences which you have in common form a com- mon basis for friendship." President Burton stressed the op- portunity of friendship from a geo- graphical point of view, showing the value derived from the intermingling in close associations of students ,from all four points of the compass. "Those of you to whom an 'A' comes so easily should meet the men to whom it means a distinct 'effort x get even a 'C'," he said. "Each one of you should do your best to know each other from the intellectual standpoint. Defines Friendship "What is friendship? Friendship can best be defined by a series of paradoxes. Friendship should be characterized by intimacy and inde- pendency, quality and quantity, acci- dent and choice. Friendship at its best gives willingly. Friendship to be real is nothing other than love," the president stated in closing. "A true friend loveth when a man is dowr as well as when he is up."

'ENSIAN ART NOTICE Men and women interested in entering into competitive art work for the 1921 Michganen- sian are requested to call Lee Boyd, phone 1166., SUPERIOR CREW RESCUED AFTER 6.3 HOUR SIEGE TAKEN FROM STRANDED VESSEL DURING HEAVY STORM BY TUG IOWA (By Associated Press) Sault Ste. Marie, Nov. 15.- After 63 hours aboard their storm tossed vessel, the 7,600 ton steel freight- er Francis J. Widlar, Capt. Arthur Forbes and the 27 members of the crew reached here late tonight on the rescue tugs Iowa and C. E. Ains- worth. Aside from minor bruises, the crew were in good physical condition. Rescue of the crew was effected at noon today, when a yawl from the Iowa braved the heavy seas to make three trips to the Widlar, which lies in imminent danger of breaking up on the pancake shoals near Whitefish point. From the time the ship was driven ,ipon the rocks Friday night until the crew was taken off, great. waves hounded over her, at times washing completely over the deckhouse. A nortion of the deck was buckled and what hatch covers were not ripped nif by the seas were removed by the crew for use in kindling signal fires. This allowed the boat to fill and sub- tected her to inside pounding.. The crew, gathered in the foreward cabin when the vessel grounded, suf- fered some hardships Friday night up until late Saturday through lack of food, the high seas preventing their going astern for supplies. Alexander Stevens, steward, was the hero. It was Stevens who ventured across the buckled deck Saturday and after narrowly escaping being washed overboard, brought food from the stern cabins, which he cooked on an improvised stove in the forward cab- in, using furniture for fuel. Stevens was the first of the crew to sight the rescue tug Iowa this morning. ANOTHER WSEEK GIVEN FOR 'ENSIAN PHOTOS Photographs for the 1921 Michigan- ensian are not coming in fast enough, according to officials of the year book. Although Nov. 15 was set as the time limit for all photographs to be in, a large number of organiza- tions have failed to report at the studios of the photographers for sit- tings. One more week mill be allowed in which to turn these photographs in. All fraternities, sororities, university clubs, and other organizations are urged to make appointments at once in order that this matter may be en- tirely completed by Nov. 22. This date will positively be the time limit. There are about 20 organizatioins on the campus that have not signed their contract for a page in the 1921 Mich- iganensian. All had pages in the 1920 book, but pages in this year's annual will not be reserved unless a Opening the three day campaign for 2,500 new life members of the Union, 19 teams of 10 men each start the so- liciting this morning. More than 3,600 men will be approached in an effort to reach the goal by Wednesday night. Thursday, the last day of the drive, will be open day on the campus, when a general clean-up will be made. Final instructions were given ,to team captains and committeemen at a meeting in the Union last night. Lists of prospects arranged according to their geographical location in the city were handed to the committeemen to facilitate the soliciting and elim- inate duplication of effort, Newton Explains Purpose Speaking of the purpose of the cam- paign, Maynard Newton, '22; general chairman, said it was "to enlist the co-operation of all Michigan men in the Union for life, instead of only for the time they are in college." He stated further that the money realiz- ed from the life memberships would go towards freeing the Union of debt, and for the general upkeep of the building. Pointing out that it will be an additional advantage to have the subscriptions on file, he said, "They _ can be used as collateral for loans to the Union." Paul Eaton, '21, president of the Union, declared that the progresstof the drive would be watched by alum- ni. He stated that a successful cam- paign would have a very desirable ef- fect on those who have already help- ed the Union, and also upon those who were in a position to give aidson the present unfinished parts of the build- ing. Porter Gives Pointers Giving pointers to the committee- men which would make for a whirl- wind campaign, Donald J. Porter, '21, general chairman of the drive last year, told of some of the things he had learned in his work. Explaining the life membership fee, it was emphasized that $50 is the fee for resident students, payable in to- tal, or in installments of $10 each year for five years, .and that if the complete sum is paid'in by Dec. 1, of his senior year a student is given credit for $5 which he would other- wise be required to pay in his tui- tion fee. Winners to Get Steak Dinner As an incentive to active work, both by teams and by individuals, it was announced that the Union will give a steak dinner tothe team secur- ing the most new life members, and to the five committeemen who turned in the highest individual figures. Teams will report the results of the day's work at the main desk in the Union each evening during the drive where members of the general com- mittee will tabulate- reports.
