THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE FIVE THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE FIVE I -- ______________________________ --.----- ______________________________________ Saturday Class Committee Will Continue Work All Applications Have Not Been Dealt With; Accept Many Exemptions A committee headed by Prof. George R. LaRue, chairman of the zoology department, will continue to pass on applications for exemp- tion from the Saturday class ruling this week, Professor LaRue an- nounced yesterday. They will meet in Room 3089 Natural Science Build- ing from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. and from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m., for the remainder of the week. Committee members, in addition to Professor LaRue, are Professors F. G. Gustafson of the botany de- partment, Robert P. Briggs of the eco- nomics department, R. W. Cowden of the English department, W. A. Reich- ert of the German department, L. G. VanderVelde of the history depart- ment, C. C. Craig of the mathematics department, A. B. Peck of the min- eralogy department, W W. Sleator of the physics department, and Drs. H J. Heneman of the political science department, Norman R. F. Maier of the psychology department, and N W. Eddy of the romance languages department. Professor LaRue said that a mod- erately high percentage of the re- quests received had been granted, but that many cases had as yet not been dealt with. The committee has set up to standards, but deals individually with each case on the basis of its merits, he said. He pointed out that if the appli- cants wished exemption on grounds that their courses would not allow them to schedule a class on Saturday, they should present their advisor's recommendation that they be ex- empted. Many of the exceptions granted were on those grounds. Jean Seeley, president of the Mich- igan League Council, in whose hands regulation of women's hours rests, announced that no steps would be taken until some necessity arose for such a change, and that if such a necessity did occur, it would prob- ably not become apparent in the near future. Woman In Red Fights To Hold Up Deportation Dillinger Confession Gives Temporary Reprieve In Deportation Case CHICAGO, Oct. 2. - (P) - Mrs. Anna Sage, the "woman in red," who admitted she lured John Dillinger to his death, said today she would re- sort to every legal move to escape de- portation to Rumania by the govern- ment. Mrs. Sage further disclosed fear of death at the hands of "Baby Face" Nelson, member of the Dillinger gang, who, she said, "had sworn to get me." Mrs. Sage was granted a temporary reprieve from deportation through a writ of habeas corpus issued by Fed- eral Judge John P. Barnes after hear- ing her story of an alleged "deal" with the government. She will be given a hearing Thursday. Her deportation was stayed Satur- day a few hours before she was to have boarded a train for Ellis Island with other deportees. She then made known for the first time her part in the killing of the outlaw. Would Not Deport Mrs. Sage said she betrayed Dil- linger, the sweetheart of her friend, Mrs.. Polly Hamilton Keele, on the promise from Melvin H. Purvis, then chief of the government agents in Chicago, that he could and would have immigration officials cancel de- portation proceedings against her. She said she notified federal agents that Dillinger would escort her and Mrs. Keele to a motion picture theat- er. The outlaw was shot and killed on the night of July 22, 1934, as he and the two women left the Biograph theater on the north side. Mrs. Sage said government agents took her to Detroit for two weeks and then permitted her to go to Califor- nia. Two agents accompanied her on the bus to the west coast. Received Reward In California, she said, U. S. In- spector Samuel Cowley, later killed in a gun fight with Nelson, gave her $5,- 000 as part of the reward offered by the government. "After returning to Chicago with $200 Cowley gave me," she said, "I learned from my brother-in-law that a man had offered him $500 to tell where I could be found. His descrip- tion was similar to that of Nelson." "When I learned Nelson had been shot by federal agents I felt safe," she said. "Then I began to press gov- ernment officers to keep their pledge to me and let me stay here. I have no relatives in Rumania." Avoids Deportation --Associated Press Photo. Mrs. Anna Sage (above), the "Woman in Red" in the Dillinger case, won in her deportation case when she charged the government had paid her $5,000. for putting the notorious outlaw on the spot and then repudiated a promise to per- mit her to stay in America. SIrishNovelist Will Lecture In League'Theatre James Stephens To Speak Oct. 9 Under Auspices Of Hopwood Committee James Stephens, well-known Irish 'poet and novelist, will speak at 8:15 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 8, in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theater, it was an- nounced yesterday by Prof. Roy W. Cowden, director of the Committee on Hopwood Awards, under whose auspices the lecture is to be given. Mr. Stephens, whose best known work is "The Crock of Gold," will give a reading of his own poetry. He is noted particularly for his ability to capture the beauty of old Irish leg- ends in modern verse, and for his melodic application of the English language to natural sounds. He has been awarded the Polignac Prize and the Tailltean Gold Medal for distinguished verse, and is known also as an anthologist, his book, "Eng- lish Poets: Romantic, Victorian, and Later," having recently been issued. "We are particularly fortunate in securing Mr. Stephens," Professor Cowden said. "It is a thrilling ex- perience to hear a true Irish poet render the beautiful verses of his country." The Committee on Hopwood Awards, which last year brought Ger- trude Stein to the campus, in bring- ing Mr. Stephens to the campus is continuing a program seeking to create atdMichigan a center for those interested in contemporary literature through the creation of facilities for advantageous study. The Jule and Avery Hopwood Prize Awards for cre- ative work forms the basis of the effort, although the funds for the Hopwood contest are not being used to sponsor the lectures, according to Professor Cowden. Tickets, which will sell for 50 cents, will be on sale in Wahr's Bookstore, the Hopwood Room, and the box of- fice of the Lydia Mendelssohn The- ater. Bureaus Busy Finding Work For StudentsI The rush that comes each year in) solving the problem ,of student em- ployment finds both the regular stu- dent employment office and the Na- tional Youth Administration employ- ment supervisors at the height of ac- tivity, officials of the two organiza- said. So busy are N.Y.A. officials in al-j lotting jobs and planning projects that no accurate estimate can yet be made of the number of students to be employed and the nature of their work. The student employment bureau in the dean's office reports approximate- ly 400 applications for work of all kinds - for board and room, for odd jobs, and for steady cash jobs. A rough estimate indicates that about 200 students have already found em- ployment through this office. A large percentage of applicants for these positions are new students. The greatest difficulty, the office re- ports, is in finding board and room jobs for the large number desiring them, since the shortage of such po- sitions is considerably greater this year than last. STUNTER IS KILLED COLUMBUS, Sept. 30. -- (P)- Norman F. Zuck of Cleveland was killed as his monoplane crashed and burned after he had taken off for a stunt flight at the municipal airport Sunday. Wife Of Gifford Pinchot Plans To Talk Here Social Worker To Speak Before State Federation Of Women's Clubs Mrs. Gifford Pinchot, wife of the sx-governor of Pennsylvania, and one of the foremost social workers in the country today, will speak before the annual meeting of the State Federa- tion of Women's Clubs to be held in conjunction with the Adult Educa- tion Institute, October 14-18, it was announced today. This institute is one of three under the auspices of the Extension Divi- sion of the University of Michigan. These institutes are designed to bring persons throughout the state to Ann Arbor for a program of lectures and conferences lasting from two days to a week. Through the activities of the various bureaus, more than 300,- 000 people in the state come in direct contact wtih the University each year. This does not include 600,000 people who last year listened in on University radio programs. Announcement was also made of the appointment of Mr. D. C. Gates as field secretary for public health education. The health education program is conducted under the aus- pices of the Joint Committee on Pub- lic Health Education, and the Uni- versity. The work of this committee is to carry on a health education program in the state through a medium of the schools, clubs, Parents-Teachers As- sociation, and other organizations in- terested in health. Mr. Gates' activi- ties are carried on through the ex- tension division of the University. Fossils Found On University Museum Trips Upper Michigan, Dakota, And Mexican Expeditions Return To Ann Arbor Returning from points as scattered as the Bad Lands of South Dakota and Coahuila, Mexico, and those as close as northern Michigan and Penn- sylvania, members of expeditions emanating from the University Mu- seums have completed another sea- son's exploration and returned to re- port and classify their findings. From the Bad Lands expedition Professor Ermine C. Case, director of the Museum of Paleontology tells of the discovery by Preparator W. H. Buettner and J. A. Wilson of four fossil eggs taken from the South Dakota oligocene formation, whose age is estimated at 30,000,000 years. Professor Case stated that "there were probably only 12 such forms in all the museums." The eggs, probably of a duck-like bird, are not yet completely exam- ined but Professor Case held little hope that their significance would be heightened by the discovery of un- hatched young inside them. They were taken from a single nest. The discovery of an almost com- plete skeleton of an oreodon, a small, primitive, ruminant-like or cud-chew- ing creature, was termed "most im- portant" by Professor Case. In the course ofswork carried on in Mexico by Dr. Ralph Imlay and Professor L. B. Kellum, the deposits in Coahuila yielded large collections of cretaceous invertebrates which will be placed in the University Museums along with the fossil plants brought back from the carboniferous deposits of Pennsylvania by the group under Professor C. A. Arnold. PLAN LECTURE SERIES TRAVERSE CITY, Sept. 30. - (T) - The first of a series of eight post- graduate lectures to be held by the University of Michigan and the Mich- igan State Medical society is sched- uled here Friday with Dr. Russell W. Alles, of Columbus, O., and Dr. Nor- man Miller, of New York, as the speakers. "healthy, wealthy, and wise has always been a good way to be. We can't say anything about your mind or your money, but we can help your HEALTH The answer is the Royal Dhairy Milk - Butter - Cream - Cheese 421 Miller Ave Dial 3836 No matter what your job is, your ability to do it depends on a special undefinable element of your person ality called "G," or General Factor, according to Dr. Charles Searman, University of London psychomathe- matician, who was guest lecturer at the recent American Psychological Association convention here. Probably one of the most extensive fields of psychology at present is the establishment of tests to determine almost anything, and the determina- tion of standards by which to inter- pret these tests. A common sight at the convention here was two dif- ferent interpretations of the same results by members of the Association reading papers. Into this field, commonly known as psychometrics, Dr. Spearman has en- tered a battery of some 94 tests to measure the specific abilities of peo- ple, as well as the more abstract qual- ities such as fancifulness and orig- inality, as a possible successor to the well-known Stanford-Binet intelli- gence quotient, or "I Q" tests, which are now undergoing strong criticism. Uses 94 Tests With this battery of 94 tests, which Dr. Spearman has "fired" at some 1,200 people in the course of his in- vestigation, Dr. Spearman has hoped to determine an individual's total mental ability through the sum total of his individual abilities. "An attempt is being made to de- velop tests which are tolerably free from the influence of previous experi- ence or environment, thus facilitat- ing comparisons between different races and different social strata, as urgently required by anthropology and sociology," Dr. Spearman said in outlining the tests used in the in- vestigation. "The first one great result of the investigation has been to establish the existence of one General Factor 'G' extending through the entire gamut of abilities here tested save only physical strength, as measured by the dynamometer, and also fancifulness, as measured by seeing shapes in ink blots," Dr. Spearman continued. The "G" factor was apparent in the re- sults of the tests for every other abil- ity measured. Factors Combined As examples of combined ability factors, Dr. Spearman pointed out that while arithmetical ability con- sisted of "G" plus a special factor dealing with numbers, geometry de- manded "G" together with some spe- cial ability for dealing with spatial relations. "There is no general factor com- mon to all mathematics, save only 'G'," he added. As to just what constitutes this mysterious "G" Dr. Searman was un- determined. "One might be inclined to designate this factor as general intelligence, but our results show that it extends far beyond the range of what is usually called by this name," he commented. "For instance, it lays an appreciable part in such simple operations as counting groups of dots and in taking down dictated numbers. "It might perhaps be called a per- son's 'general mind power,' available for all his many secial purposes. Per- haps it is the mental side of what Lashley has caleld the 'mass-action' of the cortex of the brain." Verbal Factor Second Next in importance after "G" comes what Dr. Searman has called the "verbal factor." Out of all the tests about a dozen show the presence of this factor, which has to do with lan- guage. This factor, according to Dr. Spear- man, makes its appearance in all linguistic activities. It plays a large part in the most exalted operations such as reasoning, and yet seems to consist essentially of nothing more than the capacity to associate any symbol with any meaning. That element now measured by the "IQ" tests, according to Dr. Spear- man, consists largely of "G" and the verbal factor. Scientific ability, as previously il- lustrated by the comparison of arith- metical and geometrical abilities, de- pends on "G" plus some individual ability for each particular branch. Mechanical ability depends once more on "G" plus some special fac- ulty for understanding and inventing machinery. Little 'G' In Aesthetics The three aesthetic activties, music, painting, and literature, show an ex- tremely small but still appreciable amount of "G." Outside of the Gen- eral Factor, there is a little, but not much, in common in these three branches of art. Information turns out to depend very largely on the verbal factor. This refers to information as mea- sured by the ordinary tests of in- formation. The tests which make up Dr. Spear- man's battery have been constructed so as to measure two little-understood mental characteristics which have been called "P" and "O," indicating their cossible connection with the elements of persevaration and oscil- lation. "These two have been found in the past to play a large part not only in ability but also in character," Dr. Spearman concluded. "These are the only two cases where the present re- search has extended itself into the field of character and emotions, but further research is now planned for extending the investigation into this field." If Your Personality Has A Little "G" You'll Be A Big Success At Your Job nena "IllSchool To Receive Portrait The Dental School will hold an as- sembly at 10 a.m. this morning in the Lydia Mendelssohn theatre. Dr. R. W. Bunting is to preside and Dr. Ruthven is to make the principal ad- dress. At this assembly, the University will receive a portrait of the late Dr. Chalmers J. Lyons, who was a very well known and well liked member of the Dental School faculty. Dr. Lyons enjoyed the unique distinction of also being on the staff of the Medical School at the same time he was teaching at the Dental School. The portrait is a gift of the C. J. Lyons Club, an organization com- posed of former students of Dr. Ly- ons, and will be presented by Dr. Don Bellinger of Detroit. Dr. Ruthven will accept the gift in behalf of the University. The public is cordially invited. DEATH TOTAL 1,014 LANSING, Sept. 30. - ()-Death rode the highways at a record pace in the first eight months of 1935, Mlaiming 1,014 victims. Welcome FRESHMEN ! Florida Hurricanes Are Fun Compared To Those On Sun 2 BRITISH SOLDIERS KILLED SIMLA, India, Sept. 30. - tP)- Two British officers were killed and two wounded today after an am- bush on the Mohammaiad front on the northwest Indian frontier. UPPERCLASSMEN! NEW STUDENTS! MILTONS wishes to extend a cor- dial welcome to Michi- gan's old and new stu- dents and to wish them success in the coming year. By JOHN P. HINCKLEY A hurricane in Florida is nothing compared to a hurricane on the sur- face of the sun, according to Dr. Heber D. Curtis, director of the Uni- versity Observatories. According to the report of the astronomy depart- ment for 1934-35, he has seen the latter through the spectroheliokine- matograph, a machine used in con- nection with a motion-picture camera to record the sun's behavior. This formidably-named device makes a photographic record of the irregular contours of the sun and is especially useful in the study of sunspots, which have a good deal to do with radio re- ception, because the more sunspots which appear -on old Sol, 93,000,000 miles away, the worse the radio re- ception. The next time your radio refuses to bring in stations more than twenty miles away, blame the sun- spots, or the tubes. Machine At Lake Angelus The spectroheliokinematograph is situated on Lake Angelus, near Pon- tiac, Michigan, in the McMath Hul- bert Observatory. The directors of this observatory havetaken continu- ous pictures of the sun for the past year, and expect to open up a wide field of research when the projected solar tower is completed. This is in the process of being built, and it is the belief of Dr. Curtis that it will be ready for use next year. The con- structionis made possible by a do- nation from the Rackham Fund, and the tower is being constructed from plans drawn up by Director McMath. It will be forty feet above the ground at the dome, and there will be a sub- basement thirty feet deep, permitting the use of a spectroscope. The di- rectors have great hopes for the pos- sibilities of this solar tower, and will commence research work immediate- ly after the project is completed. In a far-flung outpost of the Uni- versity, at Bloemfontein, South Af- rica, in the Lamont-Hussey Obser- vatory, Dr. Rossiter is continuing his survey for the discovery of new double stars in the southern skies. The survey will be approximately ninety percent complete by July, 1936, when it is feared that the work of the expedition must be terminated. Double, or twin, stars are those which rotate around each other and are al- ways in the same relative position. Over 5,200, new pairs have been dis- covered in the two years this research has been carried on. New Reflector Ready Another improvement contemplat- ed by the University Observatory is the new large reflector for the Ann Arbor telescope. This new reflector will increase the efficiency of the present telescope by approximately 100%. A primary disk, constructed of pyrex, will be removed from the an- nealing ovens in Corning on October 8. Dr. Curtis expects to leave for Corning on the eleventh of October to inspect the disk, which has been cooling in the ovens for six months, a seemingly paradoxical procedure. This precaution is necessary to pre- vent cracks in the disk, and the tem- perature is lowered about two degrees daily. The disk is 87%/4 inches in di- ameter and 16 inches thick, weighing a mere 7600 pounds. Assisting Dr. Curtis in this work is Dr. Robley C. Williams, formerly of Cornell University, who was appoint- ed to fill the vacancy left by Dr. Howard M. Petrie. Dr. Petrie resigned to become Astronomer at Dominion Astrophysical Observatory, Victoria. For those who seek an improved three-hour course, there is a new lens in the Angell Hall Observatory tele- scope, affordingta greater apprecia- tion of a romantic subject.
