Describes Advances In
State Production During
Past Six Years
"Within the past six years Mich-
igan has become an important oil pro-
ducing state," said Prof. George G.
Brown of the chemical engineering
depai tment in the eighth of the 'Mich-
igan, My Michigan' Series given at 2
p.m. yesterday over Station WJR.
According to Professor Brown,'
Michigan has a daily potential pro-
duction of 130,000 barrels of oil and
an actual production under prora-
tion of about 30,000 barrels of oil per
day. "Although this may seem small,"
he continued, "when compared to the
total production from the United
States of about two and a half mil-
lion barrels per day, most of which
is. produced from Texas, Oklahoma,.
and California, 30,000 barrels of oil
per day is a lot of oil."
55,000 Barrel Consumption
As an automobile state, the average
daily consumption of gasoline in
Michigan alone amounts to about 55,-
000 barrels, which by ordinary pro-
cesses of refining crude oil would take
practically the whole potential pro-
duction of 130,000 barrels of crude oil
per day, said Professor Brown.
Tracing the history of oil in this
state from its discovery in 1834, by
Elisha H. Smith, a few miles north-
west of Howell, through the begin-
nings of oil refineries until the pres-
ent, he pointed out that until 1927
there was no commercial develop-
ment. Then in the past six years, well
drilling proceeded rapidly and oil re-
finers sprang up throughout Mich-
igan, making it an important oil
producing state.
"At present," Professor Brown
stated, "the Pure Oil Company, the
Sun Company, and the Standard Oil
of Ohio are refining some Michigan
crude in their refineries in Ohio. Other
out-state refineries have tried various
quantities of Michigan crude from
time to time but generally with only
fairly satisfactory results. It seems
that Mihigan crude may best be re-
fined by itself when its own peculiar
problems may be solved in the most
efficient manner." .
Should Not Build
He explained that if additional re-
fining capacity is to be built locally
to handle the Michigan crude, it must
be built in the face of the present
over-capacity of the country as a
whole, most of which, however, is at
a distance from Michigan. "Any re-
finery constructed in the interor or
on the coast of the south peninsula
of Michigan will find an economic
boundary between its location and the
refining centers of Toledo, Detroit,
and of the East Chicago area, be-
yond which it will not be profitable
to ship gasoline or fuel oils unless
Michigan crude is sold for a lower
price than mid-continent crude can
be laid down in these refining centers.
Shipments into the upper peninsula
and into Canada will be correspond-
ingly regulated by the cost of trans-
portation. As compared with shipping
gasoline into Michigan from the mid-
continent refining center, the Mich-
igan refiner enjoys a rate advantage
of about three cents per gallon."
In concluding, Professor Brown ad-
vised that no more refining plants
should be built unless sound eco-
nomic reasons exist which will en-
able the new plant to serve the public
more cheaply than existing refineries,
because, although there is at present
a great over-capacity in relation to
consumption, they are not all eco-
nomically located or operated.

rtressing five major ways in which
the Federal government is giving
Michigan a hand in forest conserva-
ticn, Prof. Shirley W. Allen of thef
Schocl of Forestry spoke at 8 p.m.
yesterday in the League before the
members of the Ann Arbor Garden_
Club..
The Federal government has aided
Michigan in the creation of national
to .sts in this state, asserted Pro-
fIcssor Allen. "This has been under'
way since 1905 when the old Mich-
igan National Forest was withdraw-,
ing fragments of the public domain

sula and Raco in the upper. There
are now five national forest units -Associated Press Photo

thought, if any. There is not only
little opportunity for students to dis-
cuss their courses among themselves
but almost none for getting together
,-th the faculty. This deadens stu-
dent interest in academic subjects
and in much that may be related to
those subjects, she feels, so that stu-
dents turn to outside activities of a
different type for relief.,
As to the benefits of participating
in camus activities, Miss McCormick
points out that the experiences gained
in outside activities are frequently
valuable asets when applying for a
po ition. The employer often asks
first if the person ."gets along well
with people" and if he can "adapt
himself easily." His scholarship ree-
ord is usually of secondary impor-
tance. "Not that I mean to belittle
scholarship," she explained, "but I
wish to emphasize the fact that high
scholarship alone is in most cases not
a suflicint qualification for a job.
"Working on various projects here
in the League," she continued, "the
women get a great deal of experience
in directing others under them. Noth-
ing is harder either than to get people
to work on a voluntary basis. I have
seen innumerable persons who were
clever and industrious fail to make
the grade because they had not
learned how to be tactful, intelligent
directors."
The student also develops the abil-
ity to adapt themselves to wholly new

Professor Allen said that another
important aid that the national gov-
ernment tends the state is its coop-,
eration in forest research, which is
particularly marked in the partial
support of Michigan Forest Fire Ex-
periment Station located at Ros-
common, the only station of its kind
in the world.
According to Professor Allen, the
assignment of some 40 civilian corps;
camps to be supervised by the State
Conservation Department has con-
tributed permanent improvements in
pest control and fire hazard reduction
in the Michigan conservation pro-;
gram. There are approximately 20j
camps, also started by the Federal
government, which are operated in
national forest units and state parks.
"The operation of codes of fair

cluded, "will have lasting effects up-

were other points brought up for con-'
sideration by the committee.
"A clearing house" to adjust the
things to be thrust before the fresh-
men was one of the final suggestions
of the committee.
Freshman opinion, as indicated by
questionnaires sent out by the com-
mittee and by the dean's office, tallied
with the adviser's opinions for the
most part. Favoring Orientation, they
at the same time insisted that too
much was thrust upon the freshmen.
More satisfactory explanations of sor-
orities, and a postponement of the
formal rushing season came as sur-
prising requests from many. Fresh-
men, too, criticized faculty advisers
for their lack of interest.
Contrary to the popular belief of
freshmen habits, the requests for
more extensive and more immediate
lessons in how to study were numer-
ouS.
