Records reveal that the Peoples' . ~
Motor Coach company have operated
at a loss of $40,402.31 during the first
eight months of their operation, a sit- !
nation which threatens to leave Ann
Arbor without transportation, unless
conditions are changed, it was learn-
ed by the City council Mocnday even-
ing.
The report given the council cov-
ered the period from Feb. 1 to Sept. s
30, 1925, and showed the total revenueY
for the eight months to be $75,338.08,
twith operating costs of $93,424.42, re-
4ulting in a net loss of $18,086.36. The
remainder of the deficit of $40,402.31
was accounted for in taxes and de- j Ei)GAR 8EA4E
preciation.
T. P. Pinckard, president of the
company, told the councilmen that .
there was little hope'of ever puttingr
the bus line on a paying basis, or
even operating it without a loss with
the present equ ii-nt. A small say~-
Xng might be cfV Itd through the re-r
'outing of the pre.ent line and a re-
%lsion in the tariff rates, and it .wasf
for aid in accomplishing these changes
that the company appealed to the.
councilt I
After much discussion, during
which time many questions were ask-
'd Mr. Pinckard concerning the op-
eration of motor buses, it was the r
general opinion that the only satis-~
factory method of avoiding the deficitz
was to reduce the operating costs by
a change to a lighter type vehicle.
It was proposed by Mayor Robert A.
Campbell that such a change be made
as the present 36 passenger bus was
liot any better adapted to the needsA
of the city than a smaller one. Mr. ral resi o--A-

At the recent annual meeting of the

approved. This approval was voted
after careful investigation by a repre-

tablished satisfactorily the breadth of
the curriculum and the high collegi-
ate standards maintained in the ed-
ucational training at West Point.
The immediate effect of the military
academy's membership in the associa-
tion will be to give to any of its grad-
uates who may be selected as Rhodes
scholars a regular senior standing
when they report at Oxford. The As-
sociation of American universities is
recognized by the authorties of the
!English universities as the premier j
body accrediting the best institutions1
[of collegiate grade in this country.
Students who are graduates of insti-
tutions that are on the list of accred-
ited universities, colleges, and tech-
nical schools published by the asso-
ciation, are granted senior standing
without question, and are allowed to
elect individual courses adapted to
their own desires, and to do graduate
work -for honors.
Three recent graduates of the mil-
itary academy were selected as Rhodes

"Statistical Analysis" is the title of
a book recently written by. Dean )Fd-
mund E. Day of the School of Busi-
ness Administration. This book wasj
published yesterday by the MacMillan
company of New York, and will soon
be placed on sale in State street book-
stores.
Furnishing the beginning student
with a, general and comprehensive in-1
troduction to statistical methed, this
book places greatest emphasis upon
analysis, rather than the collection
and tabulation of statistical material,
I because it is the former which Dean
Day, in writing his book, considered
most important for the beginner.
The book is not intended to cover
the technicalities of mathematical
statistics, though mathematical pro-
cesses essential to elementary analys-1
is are carefully explained. Dean Day

"The operators claim that miners

Curran. ."Well, remember that

growing.
I "if by co-operation of the operators

who are instrumental in making the
profit for the employer?"
