XLIV No. 178 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, JUNE 1, 1934 PRICE FIVE CENTS Announce Argentine Projessor Describes Differences Between Universities New Plans For Union Next Year's Projects Will Start With Orientation Week Program Freshman-Facu ty Assembly Planned To Continue Faculty, Stu- dent Bull Sessions; Ride Bureau To Be Sponsored Preliminary plans for projects to be carried on by the student organi- zation of the Union were outlined yesterday by Allen D. McCombs, '35, president. The student officers of the organi- zation will start their year's work with the opening of Orientation Week in September. At that time mem- bers of the executive council and 50 sophomore committeemen will be on hand to assist incoming freshmen. In continuing the extensive pro- gram begun this semester for the at- tainment of a closer relationship, the Union will sponsor a Freshman- Faculty Assembly during Orientation Week. A group of prominent faculty members will be present at that meeting to discuss various subjects pertaining to their college life with the freshmen. To Continue Bull Sessions. McCombs stated that the daily student-faculty bull sessions which were held for several weeks this spring will be continued again, and the Wednesday night faculty dinners will also be promoted for fraternities expressing a desire to take part in this activity. The publicity committee will con- tinue to publish the Union Daily Bul- letin and will also issue the monthly bulletin under a new name, The Union Monthly Review. It was ex- plained that the function of the daily bulletin will be to promote all campus activities, and, therefore, space will be given to any organiza- tion requesting it. A further service to be given by the student organization next year will be the maintenance of a temporary student directory by means of a fil- I ing card system. This will be avail- able for the use of students until the' official directory appears. To Have Voter's Bureau. Immediately after classes begin thei organization will start work on the absentee voters' bureau, which will be run for students from all states hav- ing gubernatorial and Congressional elections. It was emphasized that in order to be able to take advantage of this service students must be prop- erly registered voters before they leave their homes. The Union will also sponsor a ride bureau prior to both the spring and Christmas vacations. It will accomo- date students desiring to fill their cars with passengers, as well as those seeking rides for themselves. In addition, McCombs stated, a more extensive series of tournamentsl will be carried on by the house com-t mittee with competition being spon- sored in bowling, billiards, ping-pong,I swimming, and bridge. A team will again be entered in the Intercolleg-f late Billiard Tournament.E To Have Open House.- Included on the social program fort the coing year will be the regularc Friday and Saturday night member- ship dances in the ballroom and thet annual Open House, which will bev held just prior to Thanksgiving Day. 'There will also be a series of forums at which prominent men will addressk students. An effort will be made toN hold these once a month, officialst said.t McCombs announced that the new1 members of the executive council will not be assigned to definite commit- tee positions until next fall. As in the past the five student committees1 will be the cooperative, house, public- ity, dance, and reception groups. Chairmanships of these units willt rotate among the council members. Students Dismissed On Handbill Charge The two students who were picked up by police Wednesday for passing handbills among the Memorial Day 1 By MELVIN C. OATHOUT "The main difference between the universities of Argentina and those of the United States is one of prac- tical training," said Dr. R. B. Novelli of the University of Buenos Aires yes- terday in an interview. "The universities of Argentina have not yet attained that point in edu- cation where practical experience given to the student can compare with that offered here," he explained. Uni- versities in Argentina, of which there are four; Buenos Aires, the largest, with 20,000 students, La Plata, Cor- doba, Tucuman, and Litoral, are open to anyone, Dr. Novelli said. Although they are supported mainly by the gov- ernment and are comparable to our state universities, they nevertheless maintain a unitary independence which prevents excessive government interference. The Medical School with which Dr. Novelli is connected at Buenos Aires is typical of the other Argentine in-, stitutions in that classes are taught solely -by professors, there being no position of instructor. Only one exam- ination in each course is held during the year, this being a comprehensive test given at the conclusion of the par- ticular study, Dr. Novelli pointed out. Praising the spirit of the students and faculty here, Dr. Novelli declared that he was impressed by the co-op- erative attitude prevalent in the class- rooms, laboratories, and lecture halls. Dr. Novelli is a professor of organic chemistry at the Universities of Bue- nos Aires and La Plata, and with Pro- fessor Houssay of the former insti- tution, he has done experimental work on hormones. Dr. Novelli came here as a result of scholarships from the Rockefeller Foundation and the Academia De Medicine of the University of Buenos Aires. Previously visiting the Univer- sity of Illinois, -Dr. Novelli is now carrying on research in conjunction with Dr. Nelson of the Medical School. Houses Passes Silver Bill By Large Majority Senate Leaders To Take.It Up As Soon As Tariff Bill Is DisposedOf WASHINGTON, May 31. - (P)- The Administration silver purchase bill - the first such measure since 1893 which had White House approval - was passed today by the House and sent to the Senate by the overwhelm- ingly favorable vote of 263 to 77. Senate Democratic leaders planned to take it up immediately after dis- posal of the pending tariff bill. They anticipate no difficulty in sending the measure to the White House for Pres- ident Roosevelt's signature. The principal provision of the silver program directs the secretary of the treasury to buy the metal until it constitutes 25 per cent of the metallic monetary stock. Treasury experts have estimated that it will be necessary to buy about 300,000,000 ounces to attain the 25 per cent ratio. The present silver re- serve of 690,000,000 ounces comprises about 12 per cent of the monetary stock. Proponents of the bill believe the purchasers will raise the price of silver and expand the currency although the amount of that expansion will be limited probably to the money spent in acquiring the silver reserve. Instructors In R.O.T.C. To Be Transferred Glider completes SchoolP Year With . No Bad Crack-ups Barring any quirks of fortune dur- ing the next few days, the University Franklin Utility Gilder will have completed a full year of service with- out any major mishaps. For four years the scarred ship has' nestled embryo Lindberghs in its cockpit, during which time it has suffered many a broken wing, fuse- lage, or tail assembly. The fledgling flyers, trusting too much in its magic powers, have at- tempted at various times to land the ship about 10 feet underground, with the resulting mishaps. But under the skillful fingers of glider "sur- geons" at the glider factory in Ypsi- lanti, the faithful ship has always re- covered and returned to its place at the head of the runway. Despite the fact that hardly an original spar remains on the ship, it soared to several championship flights in the National Glider Meet in Elmira, N. Y., last summer. With Stanley Smith and Floyd Sweet at. the controls, the ship won sweepstake honors for the University, Smith win- ning first in all-around gliding while Sweet won several further honors. This summer the glider will again be shipped to Elmira, there to spread its wings again for further honors.

Congress To Decide Labor Troubles Soon Strikes Are Continuing In Many Industrial Centers Of Country The differences between capital and labor were laid on Congress tables Thursday as arbiters struggled to stave off and settle strikes that are threatening to brake the wheels of industry. Major developments in the efforts to maintain the present pace of pro- duction included: WASHINGTON - Hugh S. John- son, NRA administrator, held par- leys with representatives of steel and textile workers in an attempt to pre- vent walkouts. M. F. Tighe, presi- dent of the Amalgamated Associa- tion of Iron, Steel, and Tin Workers, announced that he was standing on an edict to strike June 16 unless the members voted otherwise at a new convention he proposed to call. E. J. Forbeck, leader of the "rank and file" faction of the union, asserted his favor of going through with the walkout in spite of President Roose- velt's declaration that there would be elections at the steel mills under gov- ernment supervision. BELTON, S. Car. -About 500 em- ployes of the Belton textile mills left their machines, asserting they had been overtaxed with work and that union men had been discharged. The plant, employing approximately 1,000 persons, shut down. TOLEDO - One-third of the 900 national guardsmen rushed to Tole- do to quell riots which grew out of a strike at the Electric Auto-Lite Co. were ordered withdrawn and the re- mainder directed to stations in th armory. There were no indications of the recurrence of the battles which cost two lives and caused more than 200 injuries, Federal mediators strove to avert a walkout of the employes of the Toledo Edison Co. after it had been deferred one day. SAN FRANCISCO - The strike of 25,000 longshoremen and other wa- terfront workers along the Pacific coast remained at an impasse after Sunday's riots in which two dozen persons were injured. The University R.O.T.C. regiment has received orders announcing the transfer of three of its instructors, who, it is expected will be replaced next fall. Captain A. B. Custis, Ordnance of- ficer has been ordered to report to the Savannah Ordnance Depot at Savan- nah, Ill. Captain C. A. Powell, who for the past five years has been in charge of the University Signal Corps, has been transferred to the Army Indus- trial College in Washington, D. C., where he will become a student. Captain R. H. Lord, completing his sixth year at the University, has also been transferred to Washington, where he will become the assistant to the executive officer, of the Na- tional Board for the Promotion of Rifle Practice. The University's R.O.T.C. personnel will be stationed at the various train- ing camps this summer. Captain Powell and Custis will be instructors at Fort Sheridan, Ill., and Raritan Ar- senal, N. J. respectively, and Lieu- tenant Coursey will be an instructor at Camp Custer, Mich., as will Ser- geants D. G. Bonnewell and K. O. Hogquist. Kimball To Appear In Senior Recital Margaret Kimball, '34SM, will ap- pear in a graduation recital at 8:15 FERA Students Get Aid And Do Much For University, Director Gram Claims By FRED WARNER NEAL In the opinion of Prof. Lewis M., Gram, head of the department of civil engineering and director of the com- mittee on University Federal Emer- gency Relief Administration, and in the opinions of nearly every faculty member who was at all connected with it, the FERA work in the University, which ends June 15, has been most successful and profitable. Not only did it help 752 students to continue their University education, but the FERA also proved to be of in- valuable aid in the fields of research, faculty assistance, and gathering data. The majority of these students, Pro- fessor Gram said, were assigned to projects recommended by members of the faculty. He divided these projects into three groups, among which the was done in the departments of so- ciology, geography, hygiene and public health, landscape design, and in the Schools of Forestry and Education. In the School of Forestry, for ex- ample, FERA students have com- pletely mapped' two 'townships in Washtenaw County for game cover, some timber stand, and University Forestry property, as well as comput- ing data on decay of the Northern white cedar and composing more than 100 statistical charts. FERA workers in the department of landscape design made a topograph- ical map of the Arboretum, and as a part of the Washtenaw County Plan- ning project, began a survey of recrea- tional spots throughout the area. Pro- fessor Walp of that department called nishing faculty assistance have made themselves indispensable, Professor Gram said, was "due to the fact the University budget had to abolish near- ly all such aid." Especially in the en- gineering college, in the departments of zoology, in various museums, and in the Registrars Office, students have served in this capacity. Professor Gram will shortly request a c mprehensive report from all de- partments where FERA students are employed, he says. Then he will in turn prepare other reports to send to Lansing and Washington. His Wash- ington report, which he said will be favorable, may have considerable ef- fect on the reinstitution of the FERA in colleges and universities in the fall, it is believed. With regard to this renewal when
