WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1928 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE TREI COMMITTEES OF BOTHI HOUSES TOHNEARDANA Dean, Of Forestry School To Testify In Washington Before Members Of House And Senate WILL LEAVE ON MONDAY' Dean Samuel T. Dana of the School of Forestry and Conservation will leave for Washington, D.C., Monday ,to testify before congressional com- mittees about the proposed McNary- McSweeney forest appropriation bill. Dean Dana will appear before the Senate committee on agricultural and forestry on Tuesday and before the house committee on agriculture Wednesday. The McNary-McSweeney bill pro- vides for adequate supplies of timber' through the purchase of national forest lands and the use of experi- ments and investigations to determine the best forest policies. An annual appropriation of $250,00 would be provided for this service. Dean Dana will testify on section two of the bill which provides for the conduction of fire, silvicultural, and other forest investigations and experi- ments by the maintenance of forest experiment stations. These stations are located in strategic parts of the United States. Before coming 'to Ann Arbor to direct the forestry school Dean Dana was in charge of the Northeastern forest experiment station at Amherst, Mass. The bill under question has re- ceived the indorsement of a number of various organizations interested in forestry, it has been reported. Dean Dana will represent the University of Michigan and the Society of American Foresters before the congressional committee's. President Clarence Cook Little has endorsed the bill and is sending a message with Dean Dana in which he expresses the hope that the bill will be favorably reported out of committee. Alumni Enthusiastic Accoriding To Little "I found nothing but enthusiasm for the Alumni university program among any of the eastern alumni with whom I came in contact over the week end," President Clarence Cook Little stated yesterday upon his return from a five day trip to New York and Princeton, N. J. At a ban- quet of more than 300 alumni held in the Commodore hotel in New York on Friday night a great deal of en- thusiasm was displayed for the Uni- versity and its projects, President Little reported, and the alumni seem- ed willing to assist the Alumni uni- versity to grow gradually to the place which administraitive efficials hope for it to attain. It is expected that there will be announced shortly a committee on the special needs of the University from the alumni body, President Lit- tle said. The President spoke at a small in- formal gathering of alumni in New York Thursday night, at the large banquet Friday night, and Saturday he left for Princeton, N. J., where he delivered the closing address to the Princeton Religious conference on Sunday afternoon. Monday he re- turned to New York and spent the (ay in conferences with alumni, and yesterday morning returned to Ann Arbor.

Thomas Lanphier who was scheduled to speak yesterday was unable to be present and was re- placed on the program by Colonel Danforth. PLAN JOURNALISM WEEK FOR SPRING Plans are now being considered, ac- cording to announcement from the department of journalism, for a pro- posed Journalism Week to be held this spring. The idea has originated in the desire to afford the students of journalism and those who are un- decided as ^ to whether they should take up the profession an opportunity, to see the newspaper business as it really is.

J Ar i 9 3 35 E 7 7.00 8.40 'Foresters' Red Hats Used. y Switchmen Another possible clue as to why foresters wear their red hats reaches us in a news item from Hazelton, Pa., where the switchmen of a certain traction company have adopted the vermillion headgear in the hope it will make them more conspicuous at grade crossings. It seems that these switchmen have been grievously harrassed of late by motorists whose inability to dis- tinguish them in time has been blamed for the sky-rocketting mortality rate among Hazaetonaswitchmen. It has been felt perhaps that Michigan's brand new school of forestry, having achieved an enrollment of 25, needs protection against Ann Arbor motor- ists lest in dwindle away to nothirt in the first year of its existence. The drawing of analogies between foresters and switchmen is, of course, a fertile field, but courtesy demands a certain reaicence. It is, however, permissible to speculate who next will join with the brothers under the red hat. AIR MAIL POSTED WITH ATLANTIC FLIER ARRIVES Several letters posted in St. Louis and carried by Lindbergh when he' made the air mail hop from St. Louis to Chicago Monday have been received here by members of the faculty. The covers, which are of consider- able philatelic interest, bear the reg- ular 14c Lindbergh air mail stamp in the upper right hand corner, and a large horseshoe-shaped franking on the left of the envelope bearing the inscription, "Lindbergh flies the air mail again."'
