ATURDAY, MAY 19, 1928. THE MICHICAN DAILY IPA( ._ STUDES ILL MK EMPLOYMENT _SURlVEY *Cmuiittee Selects Sociology Classes TO Conduct Investigation Of Local Unemployment LINTON HEADSZOMMIlTE A special group of students will be- gin work early next week on an un- employment survey of Ann Arbor in order to determine the seriousness of the .local unemployment situation un- der the direction of a committee ap- pointed by Mayor Edward W. Staebler. The committee, which is headed by E. E. Linton, an official of the Michi- gan Federation of Labor, and which includes Dean Clare E. Griffin of the School of Business Administration, Professors Carter Goodrich of the Ec- ononmics department and Lowell J. Carr of the Sociology department, was selected about a month ago by Mayor Staebler to work out plans for an in- vestigation. The plan, as determined on by the committee, provides for a preiminary investigation to be carried onby mem- bers of Professor Carr's class in modern social problems. Approxi- mately thirty students volunteered to undertake the survey, according to Professor Carr, and will receive field work credit for their work. The main objective of the survey is to determine whether or not the un- employment situation in Ann Arbor is serious enough to warrant a compre- hensive investigation with a view to- ward remedying the problem. In the event that the committee arrives at such a conclusion, it is probably that the City Council will be asked to ap- propriate funds for a thorough study of existing conditions. The students, in the present investi- gations, will mainly visit the factor- ies and construction jobs. It is ex- pected that the employers and labor unions will cooperate to the fullest extent with the students in their en- deavor to obtain as large a number of unemployment histories as possi- ble, according to Professor Carr. The administration authorities will be ask- ed to allow four or five of the stu- dents temporary permits to drive au- tomobiles to facilitate the investiga- tors' work. Other members of Mayor Staebler's specia committee include C. W. Light- hall, General Manager of the Hoover Steel Ball Co., and O. O. MacLeisch, secretary of the local Chamber of Commerce. Mayor Staebler's decision to pro- mote the survey was prompted by many inquiries and comments about the seriousness of Ann Arbor's unem-. ployment situation, and it is expected the results of the present survey will definitely determine the true state of affairs- FEAR UNIFORMITY OF ARCHITECTURE Standardization of design threat- ens the nations architecture, accord- ing to report of the board of direct- ors of the American Institute of Archi- .tect of which Prof. Emil Lorch of the School of Architecture is a member. This report, submitted to the sixty- first annual convention at St. Louis where Professor Lorch is in attend- ance, expressed fear that design may become "ordinary humdrum and non- descript," reducing communities all over the United States to a common standard. "Local characteristics," the report said, "are fast appearing in this era of common thought and mechanical advancement. Communities are com- ing to look more and more like peas in one pod, and a certain commercial- ism is making more and more evident in the type of architecture universal- ly employed throughout the country."
