WILL DETERMINE POLICY
Local Council Will be Similar
to Those at Dartmouth,
Amherst and Harvard.
a inerous letters are being re-
ceived this week by President Alex-
ander G. Ruthven in regard to his
recent request that presidents of
University of Michigan clubs and
.4lnnae groups all over the coun-
tiy nominate representatives to
serve on the Alumni Advisory
council.
Apportionment Mad.
Each club or group is entitled to
one member, and those having an
eprolment of mnore than 100 r-
ceive extra representatives at the
rae of one for every additional 200
drnhmers, according to the plans
announced by President Ruthven.
The council, which is being
pltnned with the dual objective of
eriabling college administrators to
b nefit from alumni experience and
of keeping graduates in closer con-
tact with the intellectual and
scientific interests of the Univer-
sity, will meet in the future with
University executives and faculty to
aid in the determination of educa-
tional policy.
"Special fitness fo the position
and deep interest in certain aspects
of the University's educational task
rather than active club member-
hipjs desired in council members,"
stated President Ruthven. "It is
felt that some alumni eligible for
such a highly honorary position as
is. contemplated in this project
feel that they have served their
apprenticeship in the work of
alunpi organization, it is therefore
urged that all nominations be made
Qt a basis of standing, experience
and interests and position in the
community of those nominated."
Shiaw Praises Project.
In speaking of the value of such
4 ,council, Wilfred B. Shaw, direc-
toj of alumni relations, says that
e:4peration between business and
gpfessiQnal men and the staff o'
the University is expected to open
up fields of mutual utility. "Sugges-
tins from alumni may open up
new fields of research or more satis-
actory arrangement of courses,"
he sai. "A typical example is the
possibility of the development of
combined course in engineering
and business administration, which
some alumni feel from experience
would be desirable. Alumni advis-
ors meeting with factuly 'members
of the interested school or college
wil~ be in a position to exchange
yews and discover the educational
feasibility of such a project."
Recognition of the advisory worth
of interested alumni in college
afairs is not unique with the Uni-
versity, as somewhat similar or-
gnizations are in effect at Am-
herst, Dartmouth, and Harvard, but
flhe projected council marks the
first attempt of a large state Uni-
versity to build up a permanent,
closely knit organization for grad-
uate participation in college policy.
Results of Postal

Survey Foreshadow'
Revival in Business
((1 Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. - The
United States postal system in its
role of business barometer, is now
beginning to show the revival
prophesied a month ago by Assist-
ant Postmaster General Arch Cole-
man
On the theory that postal history
over a period of 60 years had shown
the volume of third and fourth
class mail rising and falling in di-
rect ratio to the general briskness
of business, Coleman anticipated
postal return toward normal by
feeling the business pulse.
He checked with mailers in other
cities with regard to when they in-
tended to resume distribution. As
a result of that survey;he announc-
ed August had seen the worst of
the slump.
