College of Literature, Seience and the Arts: In making out elections, a student not infrequently is compelled to substitute a second choice of courses for the ones he or she really wants, because two or more of the desired courses are announced to meet at the same hour. This notice- is a request, made both to students and to faculty, to notify me of the existence of such conflicts. Any student who thinks he sees conflict facing him next year, and any faculty member who knows of courses that often cause, conflicts, is asked to make note of the courses in- volved, address the note to me, and drop it in any campus messenger box. Dean Effinger has asked me to make a study of this problem ,in the hope that some of the conflicts occurring most frequently, particularly conflicts in required subjects in combination courses, may begeliminated D.

To All University Women: The committee in charge of the rummage book sale to be given by the Board of Representatives April 26, 27, 28, 29, and 30 for the benefit of the Women's league, requests that each Univtrsity woman bring back from vaca- tion at least one book which she would be willing to contribute. Books will be collected from all houses the week after vacation. Dorothy Allison, General Chairman.

E. White, direc- tr of the dcpartment of Ar'gr.i:erin g ,research, stated in cornmen.Ing on the *lresent day status of indust; ial Mich- an. Also, a lack of fund pi events an7thing like an adequate us of the reseach facilities of the University, ac- ing to Professor White. "The rapid growth of industry, par- ticularly in a section -of the country such as Michigan, means that increas- ed support should be made available to the University for carrying out a more extensive program of scientific research," declared Professor White. r"The change which is taking place in the state is well evidenced by cen- sus figures," pointed out Professor 1White. "in 1909, the various Michigan industries employed 231,499 wage earners and produced manufactured products valued at $685,109,000. In 1919, an increase of approximately 100 percent in the number of workers showed a resultant increase of more than 500 percent in the value of the products manufactured. "In contrast to this, the rural pop- ulation of Michigan showed an in- crease of less than four percent, while the number of farms decreased about four percft. The value of farm pro- ducts, which in 1919 was aproximate- i ly the same as the value of manufac- tured products, showed no material change during that 10-year period. l Furthermore, the state has continued to grow from an industrial stand- point from 1919 to 1926 with but little if any change in the agricultural sit- uation. I "Industry is becoming ,more and more dependent upon research for its 'continued progress and development. Back of that research which we may describe as creative engineering, is that which may be described as fun- damental. Great' need exists for ade- quate support for scientific research if this country is to develop indus- trially. This is particularly true at a time such as this when our raw ma- terials are more and more becoming exhausted and we need to fall back upon scientific discoveries for our further industrial development. In this general connection, therefore, the relative expenditures which are avail- able to the various state institutions are interesting. In the field of agricul- tural research the state provided last year, $375,280.02 of which amount $372676.45 was actually expended. This comparison is made with no criticism whatsoever with regard to the amount appropriated for agricul- tural research. The contrast, however, ~cannot help but raise in one's mind the disparity in the relative amounts Sappropriated and raise the question as t1o whether sufficient funds should not be appropriated for scientific research to enable the various state institu-.1 tions to do their part in further indus- trial development of the state. - "Some figures of the money spent on research by large industrial con- , cerns might be interesting. The pub- I - lic at large has very little concep- tion of the amounts spent in his field which has become so indispensible to all forms of industry. AIumnII association, matte the .1!- nouncement yesterday of the appoint- ment of a temporary board of gover- nors for the University of Michigan club of Ann Arbor which will be offi- cially installed at the meeting of the ninth district of the Alumni associa- tion in Ann Arbor on May 7. The act- ing governing body for the local or- ganization, which is in the process of formation, was selected by President Ottoway to take charge of the actual formation of the club in Ann Arbor and will remain in office until a meet- ing of the club can be held after its installation. At the same meeting, in addition to the conception of the Ann Arbor club, a successor for Mason P. Rumney, '07E, retiring director, will be elect(d.
