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.
