TH~E MICHICXN T1XILY 'WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1935 Bromage Points Out How State Government System Can Survive University Broadcast Topic Is 'Michigan Engineering Achievements' Prof. Lewis M. Gram of the civil engineering department. speaking in the "Michigan, My Michigan Series," which are broadcast every Tuesday from the University broadcasting studio, discussed the "Engineering Achievements of Michigan," pointing out Michigan's highways, and the De- troit water supply system as out- standing examples. He also refered to the St. Mary's Canal, The Michigan Central Tun- nel, the Ambassador Bridge and the Detroit-Windsor Bridge as illustra- tions for his talk. Praises Canal Speaking of the St. Mary's Falls Canal, Professor Gram said "this canal has been of greater benefit di- rectly and indirectly to the people in our own state and in the world at large than any other single engineer- ing project." All the modern devices, he explained, which have been pro- moted by the mineral resources of Michigan and neighboring states, are brought to market at low cost through this canal. The canal, which connects Lakes Superior and Huron, is made upof two canals and many locks. The history of its building, as described by Professor Gram, began in 1837. From that time on, it was built "cautiously in piecemeal fashion," and is a result of 65 years of inter- mittent construction. At first the contractors and proponents had dif- ficulties with the federal soldiers, and also with Congress, but after action was deferred for 13 years, public land was appropriated for it. 'Bridge's Tonnage High "As compared with other notable canals in the world," Professor Gram pointed out, "the tonnage passing through the American and Canadian canals in normal pre-depression years was greater than that of the Kiel, Panama and Suez canals combined." The double-track tunnel of the Michigan Central Railroad was be- gun in 1906, after 50 years of agita- tion and suggestions. At first it was intended that a bridge span the De- troit River, butaopposition of shipping .interest, and the discovery of the use of electric cars to avoid the ventila- tion problem, brought about the tun- nel's construction, Professor Gram explained. The Ambassador Bridge and the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel, Professor Gram asserted, were a result of the need for avoiding the delays and haz- ards of transportation over the De- troit River. 'The bridge is of the so- called suspension type, and it is sec- ond only to the George Washington bridge in length. Three Issues Are Named' By Michigan Professor; In Providence Speech PROVIDENCE, R. I., Nov' 26.- Members of the National Municipal' League assembled here for the first day of their forty-first annual confer- ence on government heard Prof. Ar- thur W. Bromage of the political sci- ence department of the University of Michigan discuss mothods of reor- ganizing state government in the opening session Monday morning. "The states can best assure their ,ontinued existence as component parts of the Federal system by re- viewing and reorganizing their gov- ernment structure and administra- Jive practices," Professor Bromage said. "The first of these issues simmers down to the old question of Federal centralization versus states' rights," said Professor Bromage. "On this battleground three major alternatives are open to the American people: "First, to consoldate the state into regional commonwealths, such as the Commonwealth of New England. "Second, to amend the Federal Constitution by granting to the Fed- eral government a national police power to legislate for the health, safe- ty, morals and general welfare of the United States. "Third, to muddle through in the best Anglo-Saxon tradition, as we are now doing, without creating regional commonwealths or giving to the Fed- eral government a new grant of con- stitutional power. "We cannot have the first policy because the states will not turn the Two Men Attempt To Enter Sorority Two men who attempted Monday night to break into the Delta Gam- ma sorority house, 1205 Hill St., were frightened away by several members of the Delta Tau Delta fraternity. One of the Delts was conversing with one of the Delta Gammas via telephone when he heard her scream. He and several of his cohorts rushed over to the Delta Gamma house and discovered the two intruders on the roof. The Delts covered all visible means of escape, but the two men eluded their grasp. knife upon themselves," Professor Bromage said. "The second policy might have carried in the abyss of the economic crisis. To secure the rati- fications of 36 states to new national powers would probably be an insup- erable task today. In following the third policy, the national government reaches out under its interstate com- merce and taxing powers to attempt regulation of industry, labor, and ag- riculture. Through the use of the Federal taxing power and Federal aid we may be able to work out a new order through Federal-State cooper- ation, but formal readjustment of our constitutional system seems a remote possibility. As of old the Supreme Court is the umpire of the Federal system." Prof. James A. B. Pollock of the political science department spoke on the subject, "Personnel Problems in Michigan." Prof. Robert S. Ford, also of the economics department of the Uni- versity, will address the session today on "Michigan's Experience in Tax Limitation." Fresh Air Calmp Holds Special Reunion Lunch Camp Charlevoix, University of Michigan Fresh Air Camp, held a re- union luncheon recently in the Grand Rapids Room of the League, enter- taining 130 guests, the boys, their par- ents, and the camp counselors. The mothers were presented with corsages of chrysanthemums. After luncheon, plans were discussed for next summer and a mid-winter reunion was planned, as well as a winter camp which will be held between Christmas and New Year's at Patterson Lake. The guests attended the game after the luncheon. Classified Directory LOST AND FOUND LAUNDRY GRAY DOUBLE-BREASTED over- STUDENT HAND LAUNDRY: Prices coat at Chubb's Saturday night. If reasonable.

Ii I MICH IGAN (Wednesday and Thursday Only) TODAY and TOMORROW I I I The photo above shows how quickly daylight falls off as you get from the windows. We have tried to illustrate this by putting a light away block pattern above the desks - the thickness of the block at any point repre- senting the amount of light on the several rows of seats. This picture was taken on a bright, spring day. But notice how the light falls off from 90 footcandles on the row of seats nearest the window to only five footcandles on the inner row of seats ... In the photo below, we have tried to show how artificial lighting must help daylight, to save pupils from eyestrain and nearsightedness. Notice how every student is given the same "seeing" opportunity when the inner row of elecric lights is burned throughout the day. On dark, cloudy days, both rows of lights should be burned. Proper lighting means less effort in seeing -less strain on eyes, nerves and body. It is just as necessary as proper glasses. Light and glasses are good friends. Eyes should be examined every year.
