Governor Expected

Ruthven Lauds Action As
Confirmation Of State's
Faith In Education
LANSING, May 17. - (/P) - The
Reed "yardstick" bill under which the
University of Michigan will be able
to receive a greater appropriation
from the general fund than had been
recommended by the House Ways and
Means Committee was adopted in the
Legislature today.
The bill provides for the measuring
of the University appropriation on a
mill tax basis. The measure, which
is expected to be signed by the Gov-
ernor, would give the University an
appropriation of $4,062,365.
A bill previously drawn which would
give the University a lesser amount
was tabled. Similar provisions are
included for Michigan State College.
President Alexander G. Ruthven
last night issued the following state-
ment:
"The citizens of the State and edu-
cators generally will be interested to
learn that Michigan has once more
confirmed its faith in higher educa-
tion by constructive legislation.
"It was entirely logical that the
old mill tax should be repealed in
view of the trends in taxation. In
this crisis instead of adopting the
easy but hazardous method of direct
appropriation, the Legislature studied
the problem with care and provided
in Senate Bill 160 for a mill tax
based upon the assessed valuation of'
property but with the money coming
from the general fund.
"Thus at one stroke the representa-
tives of the people preserved the fea-
tures of the mill tax adopted more
than 60 years ago, which have been
very largely responsible for the devel-
opment of the institution, avoided
such unwise methods as ear-marked
taxes and biennial appropriations,
and gave to the institution a desir-
able feeling of security which will be
very helpful in this trying period.
"The members of the Legislature
and the state administration deserve
the praise and gratitude of the citi-
zens of Michigan for the careful at-
tention and whole-hearted support
which they have given to this, the
most important legislation enacted in
the field of higher education since
the passage of the original mill tax
measure."

Paul W. Philips. '36, was appointed
cadet colonel of the University R.O.-
T.C. regiment at the annual exer-
cises yesterday afternoon on Palmer
Field. Charles A. Framberg, '36E,
was appointed lieutenant-colonel for
next year on the same order. The
appointments will go into effect next
October.
The order appointing the two high.
est ranking cadet officers of the stu-
dent corps for 1935-36 was a part'
of the ceremonies which accompanied
the giving of commissions to grad-
uating members of the R.O.T.C. The
committee on military affairs of the
University presented the commissions
to the 79 seniors of the advanced
military unit.
Following the presentation of com-
missions, and awards to the best
drilled squads, freshmen and com-
pany of the regiment, the seniors left
their commands, and the juniors of
the unit took their places. The sen-
iors formed on the reviewing line,
and the regiment was passed in re-
view before them under the command
of the junior officers.

A new plan for The Daily editorial
staff organization, drawn up by the
Board in Control of Student Publica-
tions May 6, was announced yester-
day following appointments for the
coming year.
The plan provides for a board of
editors, to be appointed by the Board'
in Control on the basis of "capacity
rather than seniority." One member
of the board of editors shall be desig-
nated as managing editor. The plan
does not specify the number of mem-
bers which will comprise the board
of editors, but declares that "all mem-
bers shall have equal voting power."
The editorial board will direct Daily
editorial policy and management, and
its members will "ordinarily be stu-
dents having fourth year standing,
but students in graduate and profes-
sional schools and properly qualified
students of less than fourth year
standing in the University shall be
eligible."

LAFAYETTE, Ind., May 17.-(Spe-
cial) -- The Michigan baseball team,
aided by a defeat of Chicago, Big Ten
leaders, stayed in the title race today,
defeating the Purdue nine, 6 to 1, de-
spite the fact that they were outhit,'
10 to 6. Chicago lost to Indiana at
Bloomington, 10 to 6.
Art Patchin went all the way for
the Wolverines, keeping the Boiler-
maker hits well scattered and holding
them scoreless until the eighth inning
when Cliff Baumbach tripled with
Craig on base.
Poor support ruined all chances forI
a victory for Bob Elrod, Purdue hurler,
and the Wolverines capitalized on
seven Boilermaker errors and eight
stolen bases to score -in five innings.
Clayt Paulson with two doubles and
Captain Russ Oliver with a long triple
were Michigan's heavy hitters.
The Wolverine nine left for Cham-
paign after the game to meet Illinois

the newly-enacted system, will ap-

To Spread The Work
The object of the department phase
of the plan, as intended by the Board
in Control, is to lessen the amount
of work on individual members of the
staff. Assistants are to be appointed
"so far as practicable" among lower
classmen "as a means for spreading
the labor and responsibility and
broadening the experience of the
members of the staff."
